Chapter 239: I’ll Take Charge; You Just Cry Injustice
Somewhere in the city.
The Tong Family.
When Tong Feng returned home, he did his best to compose himself.
Inside the Tong Family villa, Tong Feng’s father, Tong Minghong, was lying on the bed.
Sweat covered his face. His fists were clenched tightly, his eyes were shut, and every feature on his face was straining, as if he were struggling to stand up.
Beside him, a middle-aged woman’s face was streaked with tears.
Even so, she still had to hold her husband down and keep advising him.
“Do not get up. You must not move again.”
“If you try to get up and collapse again, you really might be paralyzed.”
“Xiaofeng has already gone out to think of a way.”
Tong Minghong opened his eyes.
His aged eyes were filled with murky tears.
As a father, when his own daughter was in her most dangerous moment, he had actually suffered such rage and anxiety at the critical moment that he had become paralyzed on the spot.
The torment in his heart was far more painful than the suffering of his body.
Yet the more anxious he became, the less his body could move. Right now, he could not even make a sound.
They had invited several experts of the Medical Dao, but all of them had been helpless.
There had only been one conclusion: it was not a physical illness.
It was a problem with his mind.
“Dad, Mom! I’m back!”
As soon as Tong Feng entered, his voice carried a trace of excitement.
His mother hurriedly stood up and went to meet him.
“Son, how did it go?”
“Mom! There is a bit of a turn for the better. Presiding Judge Lin and Deputy Minister Song were quite willing to give me face!”
“They said they would definitely handle the matter impartially.”
“With them backing us up, this matter should become a little easier.”
“Next, I will look for other channels too, just to be safer!”
Tong Feng pulled his mother to his father’s bedside.
Then he told them this fabricated “good news.”
His mother let out a long breath of relief.
But his father, Tong Minghong, closed his eyes tightly again.
Because from the angle where he was lying, he happened to see the back of Tong Feng’s injured hand, half-hidden inside his sleeve.
Besides, how could he so easily believe that those two important figures would give Tong Feng face?
His son was clearly saying these words deliberately in an attempt to ease his condition.
Tong Minghong became even more pained.
“Good! Good. Mom will go make you food.”
His mother wiped her tears. Although the family had housekeepers, ever since something happened to the Tong Family, they had temporarily dismissed all the staff at home.
Because they were going up against a major family, and no one knew when their lives might be in danger.
The Tong Family had no need to drag down old employees who had worked in their home for years.
So now, only their own family remained in the Tong Family villa.
Tong Feng stopped his mother.
Then he took out his phone and had Tong Minghong use his barely movable fingers to chat with him.
They discussed what to do next. At the same time, it was also a way to make Tong Minghong move more, so he could recover sooner.
But at this moment, Tong Feng’s heart was utterly ashen.
While smiling and discussing those pale, powerless “methods” with his parents, his heart was filled with endless confusion.
Two hours passed in the blink of an eye.
Suddenly, there was a sound from the Tong Family’s front door.
Immediately afterward, hurried footsteps rushed in.
Tong Feng was startled.
Only his family could open the lock at will. Could it be assassins from the Wang Family?
“Not good! Mom, hide quickly—”
Tong Feng stood up in panic and grabbed his mother, intending to take her to the secret room.
“Mom!”
An incomparably mournful cry rang out.
A girl with disheveled hair and delicate features rushed in and threw herself into her mother’s arms.
“Ya’er! Ya’er, you’re back!”
Her mother hugged her tightly, tears pouring down like a spring.
She cried out her daughter’s childhood nickname.
Was the girl before her not her precious daughter, Tong Yu, who had been missing for seven or eight days?
Tong Feng stood rooted in place in shock.
Looking at the sister he had lost and regained, his entire mind went blank.
He could not understand how his sister had returned.
Could it be that Wang Tianyi had truly discovered his conscience and had released his sister because he was afraid the matter would escalate?
“Dad!”
At this moment, Tong Yu saw her father lying on the bed, and she cried even harder.
She threw herself beside him and kept asking, “Dad, what happened to you? Dad, look at me. It’s Ya’er. I’m fine now, Dad!”
Tong Minghong’s eyes were also wide with disbelief.
But within that gaze were relief and wild joy after surviving disaster.
The hand held by his daughter was actually able to exert strength.
And it grew stronger and stronger, tightly gripping his daughter’s hand.
Just then, several more people entered through the front door.
Tong Feng’s pupils instantly shrank.
The two women at the front were precisely the two “female ghost”-like people he had seen in the alley.
And behind them, a young man with a straight posture and his hands behind his back walked in unhurriedly, looking around at the decorations in the house.
This person did not seem much older than him.
Yet the aura around him made people feel instinctive fear.
Moreover, everyone around him clearly followed his lead. That was obvious at a glance.
In front of him, Tong Feng could not bring forth even the slightest thought of resistance.
It was as though even if he faced only a single strand of the other party’s hair, he would have no chance of victory. It was a deep, profound sense of helplessness.
Aside from reverence and prostration, there was no other choice.
When the young man’s eyes moved from the surroundings to Tong Feng, it was as if they were about to pierce through him.
Those deep black eyes seemed to see through everything and grasp all things.
“You are...”
Tong Feng’s mother was frightened. So many people had suddenly come into the house, and she did not know what had happened.
At this moment, Tong Yu wiped her tears and hurriedly stood up.
“Mom! Do not be afraid. They are good people.”
She pointed at Li Mu and said, “This is Li Mu. He is a high-ranking military officer! He saved me!”
Only then did Tong Feng suddenly wake from his shock.
No wonder this young man’s aura was so astonishing. So he was a high-ranking military officer.
But that only made him even more confused.
This person was about the same age as him, only eighteen or nineteen years old.
An eighteen or nineteen-year-old high-ranking military officer?
That leap was far too great.
“Hello, Auntie.”
Li Mu nodded politely to Tong Feng’s mother.
“Thank you! Thank you so much!”
Tong Feng’s mother hurriedly bowed to Li Mu again and again. Tong Feng also quickly followed her in bowing and thanking him.
Li Mu waved his hand.
“There is no need to thank me. You are the victims, and I already understand the matter clearly.”
“I came here today to give you a chance.”
“How do you want to take revenge for this?”
During the time Li Mu had been eating at the Military Merit Bureau, Mute One and Mute Six had gone back and reported this matter.
Li Mu gave them the Vermilion Bird Token from the Swordbearers Hall and had them take it directly to the Law Enforcement Bureau.
Even what color underwear Wang Tianyi had worn these past two days had been investigated.
Wang Tianyi truly did not dare do such a thing in his own family home. He had taken Tong Yu to an outside rental apartment.
There had been people specifically guarding her.
After Li Mu received the news, he took his leave from Luo Dongyun and personally went to rescue her.
He had been worrying about not having an excuse to demand the Wang Family’s Myriad Forms Iron.
The three members of the Tong Family looked at one another.
Tong Feng said, “How about... we do not take revenge. Please do not bring trouble upon yourself because of our matter.”
Tong Feng’s mother and Tong Yu had the same thought.
Tong Yu only knew that Li Mu was a military officer. She did not know how high his rank was, nor whether he could afford to provoke the Wang Family.
Li Mu thought inwardly, Do not say that. If you do not take revenge, how am I supposed to confiscate the Wang Family’s assets?
“You will not take revenge?”
“If you do not, will Wang Tianyi just let you go?”
“I am your only chance. Once I leave, have you thought clearly about what you will face?”
The Tong Family members were instantly stunned.
That was right. They no longer had control over their own fate.
Wang Tianyi would not casually allow evidence of his crime to wander around outside.
“Do not worry. I will uphold justice for you. You only need to cry injustice.”
“Even if the Wang Family produces an Earth Rank today, I will still punish them.”
“Do you understand?”
Li Mu’s words carried an unquestionable dominance.
The Tong Family members could only nod blankly.
Just then, the front gate of the Tong Family villa was blasted open with a heaven-shaking explosion.
