Chapter 296: Chapter 296: Don’t Touch Me

Meng Jiaxin looked at Ye Feng and said, "He has to get back for his wedding with the princess, you know. What time does he have to dally here?"

The jealousy in her voice was completely undisguised.

Ye Feng immediately broke into a fit of coughing.

"Alright, I should get going, too!" Meng Jiaxin shot Ye Feng a glare and turned to leave.

After a few steps, she turned back, leaned close to Ye Feng’s ear, and said menacingly, "Let me tell you something about our business. If I hear you’ve breathed a single word about it when you get back, I’ll tear your mouth off!"

"Yes, wifey."

"Call me Senior Sister."

"Yes, Senior Sister wifey."

"I’m going to wring your neck, you little brat."

Ye Feng roared with laughter, quickly took his leave, and headed straight for East Domain Airport. He boarded a plane that then roared off toward the Imperial Capital.

...

「The Imperial Capital.」

The Imperial Palace.

The Eastern Palace.

The Empress looked at the crowd beside her, a smug smile on her face. "That bastard is never coming back! You can all be restored to your original posts."

The Minister of Revenue, Sun Hao, exclaimed excitedly, "Your Majesty, does this mean we can finally settle our scores?"

The Empress smiled and nodded.

The Minister of Justice, Zhao Yu, gritted his teeth. "That bastard bullied my son so terribly. I want revenge. I’m going to make him feel the pain of losing a loved one."

With that, he turned and left.

The rest of the group followed close behind.

The Empress lifted her teacup for a sip, a sinister smile playing on her lips. ’Ye Feng, I’ll be sending all your loved ones to heaven to reunite with you very soon. Am I not merciful? Heh heh...’

The next moment, her expression turned incredibly cold. "This is the fate you deserve for daring to oppose me!"

...

「Hundred Herbs Hall.」

A young woman stood quietly at the entrance, gazing longingly into the distance.

Su Youning.

Just then, Su Feng came up from behind her. Looking at Su Youning, she said:

"Ningning, Ye Feng has gone far away, and we don’t know when he’ll be back. Why are you just waiting here foolishly? You should go back inside!"

Su Youning looked at Su Feng and shook her head. "It’s okay. I’ll just wait for him here. That way, when he returns, I’ll be able to see him right away, and he’ll be able to see me first thing!"

The words had barely left Su Youning’s lips when a sinister voice echoed from a distance. "So, you’re desperate for a man, are you? In that case, let me satisfy you!"

As the voice faded, a middle-aged man in a tracksuit walked straight up to Su Youning and reached out to touch her pretty face.

"You bastard!" Su Feng shrieked, rushing forward to block Su Youning, glaring at the middle-aged man in fury.

But before she could finish, the middle-aged man backhanded her across the face, sending her sprawling to the ground.

"You..." Su Feng stared at the man, her eyes red with fury.

Just then, Su Dingbang, having heard the commotion, rushed out. He looked at Su Youning and Su Feng and asked urgently, "Ningning, Feng’Er, what’s going on?"

Su Feng pointed at the middle-aged man opposite them and gritted her teeth. "This bastard tried to get handsy with Ningning! I stepped in to stop him, and he hit me!"

Su Dingbang’s anger exploded when he heard this. He stared at the middle-aged man and roared, "Do you fucking think the Su family is some pushover you can just mess with whenever you want? Let me tell you, we’re not! For daring to provoke my family today, you will pay a terrible price..."

But before Su Dingbang could finish, a calm voice drifted over from a distance:

"And what kind of terrible price did you want him to pay?"

As the voice spoke, a group of people approached. The man in the lead wore official robes and carried an imposing air of authority.

"I’ll kill him today, I swear..." Su Dingbang roared furiously, glaring at the newcomer. But in the next moment, he recognized the man, and his face fell. He hurried forward and spoke respectfully:

"Ah, it is the Minister of Revenue. Forgive this old man’s poor eyesight for not recognizing you. I hope you will pardon my offensive words just now!"

The newcomer was the Minister of Revenue, Sun Hao.

Sun Hao pointed to the middle-aged man beside him, then looked at Su Dingbang and said coolly, "You were the one who wanted to kill my Sun family’s Guardian?"

Su Dingbang’s face paled. "He... he’s your family’s Guardian? But Minister, he was the one who tried to take liberties with my granddaughter first..."

"And what if I was the one who told him to do it?" Sun Hao cut him off coldly before he could finish.

"You told him to touch my granddaughter? Minister Sun, we have no quarrel with you, do we?" Su Dingbang cried out urgently.

Sun Hao said coldly, "You have no quarrel with me, but your son-in-law, Ye Feng, does. So today, you are the ones who will pay a terrible price!

I’ll give you one way to live. Hand over Su Youning to be my concubine. If you agree, we can forget this. Otherwise, the Su family will be annihilated!"

Su Dingbang was trembling with rage. "As the Minister of Revenue, how can you do something so outrageous? Do you have no regard for the law?"

"Haha..." Before Su Dingbang could finish, Sun Hao burst into wild laughter. "Here, I *am* the law! I’ll kill anyone who dares to defy me on the spot!"

Su Feng shouted angrily, "Ningning is Ye Feng’s wife! Aren’t you afraid he’ll come back and make you pay?"

"Heh heh..." Sun Hao sneered. "Ye Feng is never coming back. He’s going to die out there. So, there’s no one left to protect the Su family. Your family is now fish on my chopping block, for me to carve up as I please."

He then looked at the middle-aged man and ordered coldly, "Do it. Seize this bitch and bring her back to me. If anyone dares to interfere, kill them!"

The middle-aged man nodded and advanced on Su Youning.

Su Feng, standing behind, flew into a rage. She looked at the Su family’s guardian behind her and roared:

"Liu Guardian, stop him!"

An old man behind her answered the call and moved to block Su Youning’s path. But before he could even steady himself, the middle-aged man sent him flying with a single slap. He crashed heavily to the ground, coughing up mouthfuls of blood.

The middle-aged man looked down at Liu Guardian and said indifferently, "An ant like you thought you could stop me? You’re courting death!"

Then he turned to Su Youning with a lecherous grin. "No one left to protect you now, is there? You might as well come to me obediently!"

With that, he reached for her shoulder.

"Ningning!" Su Feng screamed, trying to rush forward to protect her. But she was held back by a powerful, oppressive aura, unable to move even half a step.

She could only watch helplessly as the man’s filthy paw was about to grab Su Youning’s shoulder.

Su Feng’s heart sank. It seemed Su Youning was doomed today.

But just then, Su Youning roared in fury, "Don’t you touch me!"

As she spoke, she raised her hand and swung it at the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man burst out laughing. "Even your family’s Guardian was no match for me, and you think you can lay a hand on me? Heh heh, are you trying to tickle me...?"

But before he could finish his sentence, Su Youning’s palm connected solidly with his face.

What happened next left everyone frozen in place, completely stunned.
