Dragon King Palace: Urban Affluent Son-in-Law

On the way home, Nangong Qingcheng was silent for a long time before finally couldn't help asking Jiang Feng, "Jiang Feng, tell me the truth, what's the real relationship between you and Chu Feifei? Why was she so enthusiastic when she saw you, and why are Chu Renxiong and Zhuge Yuheng so keen on you?"

This question had been on her mind for a long time, but she never asked because before Jiang Feng went missing and returned, they were mostly living their own lives even under the same roof, rarely interfering in each other's private life.

But ever since Jiang Feng returned, everything changed dramatically. There were too many secrets about him, and unexpected situations kept occurring, making Nangong Qingcheng more curious about him than ever before.

"I saved her life, that's all." Jiang Feng said calmly.

"You saved Chu Feifei?" Nangong Qingcheng was shocked.

"Yes." Jiang Feng nodded, then briefly recounted what happened when he returned from the desolate mountains, but didn't mention that he saved Chu Feifei from assassins. He only said that his sudden appearance scared the assassins away and inadvertently saved Chu Feifei, which made Chu Renxiong owe him a favor.

"So that's how it is." Nangong Qingcheng suddenly realized, finally unraveling the mystery.

When they got home, Nangong Qingcheng took a shower first, and then Jiang Feng went to take one.

Just then, Wu Peixia's call came in. Evidently, she was also puzzled by Zhuge Yuheng's personal appearance tonight.

Nangong Qingcheng had to repeat what Jiang Feng had just told her, after which Wu Peixia was also enlightened.

...

Corridor of Southern City Hospital.

"Ha, I was wondering how Jiang Feng, a useless live-in son-in-law of our family, could possibly interact with Chu Renxiong out of nowhere. It turns out he just got lucky saving Chu Renxiong's daughter, becoming their benefactor, so they gave him face and sent Zhuge Yuheng over. Now he's puffing up his chest like he's all that?" Zhao Chunhua sneered sarcastically, knowing the whole truth.

"If someone is always a loser, eventually a pie will fall from the sky and hit their head, but some people get so dazzled that they immediately forget their own worth." Nangong Li also said disdainfully.

Nangong Jinrong, hearing his sister-in-law and sister's sarcasm, was so angry he started smoking sullenly and looked dissatisfied at his wife, Wu Peixia.

He was annoyed with his wife's stupidity. Did she really need to call their daughter in front of others? That's just great, they barely salvaged some face from Jiang Feng, and now it's all gone again, acting without thinking.

Wu Peixia was also extremely regretful at the moment, but it was too late.

Jin Shixiang and Nangong Yan also understood Jiang Feng's background by now, instantly losing their fear of him. Nangong Yan, in particular, harbored even deeper resentment towards Jiang Feng. If it weren't for him, she and Jin Shixiang wouldn't have become his punching bags, a debt that must be settled in the future!

...

In Chu Renxiong's study at the Emperor Garden Villa District.

After hearing Zhuge Yuheng's report on the entire sequence of events that night, Chu Renxiong tapped his fingers on the desk, deep in thought.

"Big brother, that's Jiang Feng's attitude. He knows exactly what we did and didn't do. It's like he's a mystery. When I look into his eyes, I can't even believe he's just a young man in his early twenties," Zhuge Yuheng recalled Jiang Feng's previous expressionless demeanor and said.

"I've had people investigate again, and there's still no trace of any materials about him before he married into the Nangong Family. He's definitely not a Binhai native. Could it be that for the past two decades, he's been hiding his light and suppressing his ambitions in the Nangong Family?" Chu Renxiong analyzed.

"It's possible! Had it not been for the young lady's incident, we might not have known him even now. We still don't know who he really is."

"Sigh, it seems he's discontented with me..." Chu Renxiong chuckled bitterly, swallowing the bitter fruit he had sown himself. Who told him to turn a blind eye when Mr. Scar sent people to South City?

"Find an appropriate opportunity later to invite him to a good meal. Some things need to be clarified, at least to let him know our stance."

"Alright."

As soon as the words fell, Chu Renxiong's phone rang, and seeing it was his adoptive son Chu Yan calling.

"What's the matter?"

"Godfather, the assassin who attacked Feifei finally confessed. He admitted he's from abroad, and the person who hired him is Mr. Scar," Chu Yan said respectfully.

"Heh, it's actually Mu Jinbiao. Ever since Ninth Brother's death, he's been jumping more! These past two years, he's settled firmly in his territory, growing restless again?"

Chu Renxiong sneered, "Daring to target my daughter, does this Northeastern black fish really think he can swallow this local tyrant?"

"Big brother, should we confirm it again? I feel Mu Jinbiao isn't that foolish. He should know that once he declares war on us, the result will inevitably be mutual destruction, benefitting certain third parties. It doesn't seem like his style." Zhuge Yuheng's eyes flashed with wisdom as he said.

"Yan'er personally got the confession, could it be fake?" Chu Renxiong said indifferently, "If Mu Jinbiao wasn't foolish, he wouldn't have taken Jian Hongsheng's money and wouldn't have extended his claws into South City, waiting to see me humiliated."

Zhuge Yuheng was at a loss for words now. Indeed, Mr. Scar sending people to South City was really unwise. Although it resulted in losses, that could only be blamed on Jiang Feng's unfathomable strength. From the moment he sent people, it was a provocation to South City's overlord Chu Renxiong's authority.

"Yan'er, don't leave that assassin alive, and also take care of Mu Jinbiao's favorite mistress. Let him experience the feeling of losing a beloved as well," Chu Renxiong said over the phone.

"Understood, godfather!" Chu Yan didn't say much and hung up the phone.

...

That night, two events that later shook the entire Binhai City happened. First, a young beautiful girl was strangled to death with a rope in her high-end apartment in East City's Pastoral Song, after someone broke in at night while she was sleeping.

According to insiders, the girl was the mistress of the East City leader Mr. Scar and was already pregnant.

Second, after getting approval from higher-ups, the South City Action Department Branch's vehicles drove into East City's Rongsheng Manor, which is as renowned as South City's Emperor Garden and West City's Huafu Mansion's landscape. A young, energetic female action officer personally escorted Mu Jinbiao, dressed in his pajamas, from the most luxurious villa back to South City for interrogation.

This night was regarded as the beginning of turmoil in Binhai's Underworld and marked the start of a major reshuffle in the entire Binhai structure in the future!
