Chapter 675

675 Retribution

“Then I’m relieved.” Jiang Zhiyuan pursed his lips and heaved a long sigh. PEI Yi and Feng Zhongliang were approaching them from afar, and the people behind them were following them. He stood still, like a trapped beast waiting to be captured, and had lost the will to resist.

In fact, he had thought that his daughter might not want to acknowledge him. After all, he was not a good father. But when he really confirmed that she did not want to acknowledge him, he still felt extremely hopeless.

When she didn’t even want to call him ‘father’, it made no difference to him whether he was outside or in prison, whether he was alive or dead.

if you want Feng Nan to live, go and save her. Tell Feng Zhongliang that she’s in her original position. He smiled. if you don’t want to save her, forget what I said. You have to be well.

He looked at Jiang se. His eyes were filled with reluctance and gratification. His gaze was deep and his eyes were extremely dark. There was a thick sense of despair that had gathered together like a thick layer of clouds, blocking the hope in his eyes.

Feng Zhongliang and PEI Yi had already arrived. The people behind PEI Yi stood beside Jiang Zhiyuan, and he was ready to be captured. PEI Yi’s face was livid. He reached out to touch Jiang SE’s face, but his hand was still trembling. He asked,

“Are you alright?”

She had scared him.

Jiang se shook her head. Feng Zhongliang looked at Jiang Zhiyuan coldly.

“You’ll spend the rest of your life in prison!”

He did not mind. His gaze was only on Jiang se. He felt that it was a pity that the time he had spent with his daughter was so short. It was also a pity that he had never heard his daughter call him that even once.

When he first went to jail, she was still young and could not speak. Now that she could speak, she was unwilling to open her mouth for various reasons.

Perhaps this was retribution!

“I didn’t believe in karma before, but now I do.” He lowered his head and smiled, revealing faint smile lines at the corners of his mouth.

“It might be a good thing for my daughter that I’m in prison.”

As he said this, he raised his eyes and raised his eyebrows. Even at this point, he was still fearless. As for whether I will go to jail or not, it’s not up to you. It’s up to my daughter!”

The meaning behind Jiang Zhiyuan’s words was worth pondering over. Feng Zhongliang subconsciously looked at Jiang se and said, ”

“I lost that year.” He was referring to the failed kidnapping and Feng Zhongliang’s capture. but now, I’ve won.

Regardless of whether it was ‘Feng Nan’ or Jiang se, she was now his daughter. His blood was flowing in her veins!

He looked at Feng Zhongliang’s ashen face and laughed, ” “Whether you acknowledge me or not, whether you call me or not, I am still your father.”

When he said this, he looked at PEI Yi again. When he smiled, he looked very similar to Jiang se. The wrinkles at the corners of his eyes showed signs of being weathered. His gaze was a little fierce.

“Brat, be good to her!”

He had never attended Jiang SE’s wedding. It was a pity that he had lost the chance to lead her to happiness. However, he had said the same words that he had said to Feng Zhongliang on the wedding day.

Feng Zhongliang was stunned. The two of them had once opposed each other because of the same person and wished for the other to die. However, because of the same person, they felt a similar state of mind.

After Jiang Zhiyuan said this, he no longer looked at Jiang se. He turned around and said, ”

“I’ll leave my daughter to you!”

Feng Zhongliang suppressed the complicated feelings in his heart. When he saw PEI Yi’s tight grip on Jiang se, she hid in his arms and used him as a shield since he could not do anything to her.

“You’re disobedient!” Feng Zhongliang cursed. When he found out that she had met up with Jiang Zhiyuan, he was so anxious that he almost had a heart attack. This girl was really too willful.

He had never been so disobedient when he was young, but now that he had grown up, he seemed to be in a rebellious stage. He slammed the walking stick in his hand on the ground and said,

“It’s all ah Yi’s fault!”

“Grandpa, please don’t blame her anymore.”

PEI Yi had been worried as well, but he was relieved to see that she was fine. He could not bear to let Jiang se be reprimanded by Feng Zhongliang, so he quickly defended her. Feng Zhongliang sighed and shook his head. He said with a dark expression,

“If you continue to spoil me like this, you’ll be even more lawless in the future.”

Even though Feng Zhongliang said that, he still heaved a huge sigh of relief when he heard PEI Yi’s defense of Jiang se.

The reason why he had taken the initiative to chastise Jiang se was that he was afraid that PEI Yi would be infuriated. Now that he had chided her and PEI Yi was so protective of her, he reckoned that there would not be any major issues between the two of them in private.

After resolving this matter, he was still in a hurry to ask about Feng Nan’s whereabouts. Nothing could happen to Feng Nan. Once something happened to her, there would be no way to hide the truth. No matter how tight the Feng family tried to keep it a secret, it was inevitable that some gossip would leak out. If Jiang Zhiyuan was involved, it might bring Jiang se some trouble.

“Let’s go,” he said. He knocked his walking stick on the ground, signaling for the people around him to take Jiang Zhiyuan away. The people standing next to Jiang Zhiyuan gave him a push, but he did not move. He just looked into the distance.

Jiang se followed his gaze. He was looking at the cable car that was slowly ascending the mountain in the sky. Through the transparent glass, she could vaguely make out the happy travelers sitting inside. It should be a family of three. One of them was a child who was being protected by an adult. He pointed into the distance and seemed to be in a happy mood.

Her eyes flickered, and she felt as if someone had punched her in the heart.

Feng Zhongliang saw that Jiang Zhiyuan was standing still and could not help but feel a little annoyed. He said sternly, ”

“What other tricks do you want to play?”

He took a long look at Jiang se. Perhaps this was the first time in their lives that the father and daughter had talked, gone up the mountain, and watched the sunrise. Perhaps he might not be able to see Jiang se again in the future. He just wanted to look at her a few more times so that he could get through the rest of his prison life.

Jiang Zhiyuan was being pushed into the car. He was still looking back at Jiang se and PEI Yi snuggling up to each other.

Before the car door closed, he was still looking in Jiang SE’s direction. Feng Zhongliang stood outside and watched him quietly. After a long time, he could not help but ask, ”

“When Sese called you, you should have known that your number was exposed. Why didn’t you turn off your phone?” It was only a matter of time before the Feng family found out his location through his phone number.

He was a smart man. He should know that at this time, the only way to protect himself was to turn off his phone. However, not only did he not turn it off, but he also allowed the Feng family to call him until they confirmed his exact location.

Jiang Zhiyuan had just thrown the phone away three hours ago.

With his cautious nature, he shouldn’t have made such a low-level mistake. If he hadn’t exposed his whereabouts, it wouldn’t have been easy for everyone to find him this time.

Feng Zhongliang was very curious about this. He had made full preparations, but he was caught because of such a mistake. What awaited him might be the punishment of the law.

“My daughter is calling to meet me. Why should I turn off my phone?”

He smiled. After being caught, he was very calm, just like more than 20 years ago. There was no hysterical unwillingness and struggle. He was so calm that he did not look like a cruel kidnapper.

Feng Zhongliang was silent for a moment before he nodded. The Feng family’s men closed the car door to block the light from the outside as well as his gaze on Jiang se. The car drove away and down the mountain. The distance between him and Jiang se gradually increased until they were completely cut off. They had no more contact.

It was as if there was a huge hole in his heart. He could no longer feel any joy or pain. The reluctance and reluctance in his eyes eventually turned into numbness and calmness like two pools of still water.

...

At the top of the mountain, Jiang Zhiyuan had already left, but PEI Yi was still a little worried.

“Are you scared?”

The anxiety and fear that he had initially felt because of her disobedience had now turned into heartache. He was already reluctant to let her go when Feng Zhongliang chided her a few times earlier. Naturally, he would not reprimand Jiang se now.

He interlocked his fingers with hers and held her hand tightly to calm the fear in his heart.

“I was a little scared at the beginning.”

Jiang se knew what PEI Yi was worried about. Even though his grip was hurting, she did not pull her hand away. Instead, she held his hand tightly and strolled with him on the mountaintop to enjoy the scenery.

“But gradually, I’m not afraid anymore.” he’s not that scary. What I’m afraid of is being abandoned all this time, ” she said. She was certain that the nightmares she’d had when she was a child were just the fear in her heart.

He was afraid that she was dispensable in the Feng family, that her parents, relatives, and friends did not care much about her life or death, that her parents would give up on her, and that family ties were as thin as paper in a place like the Feng family.

when I thought about how you were still worried about me when I came, afraid that something would happen to me, begging me not to see him, and about to cry, I wasn’t so scared anymore.

She knew that he was right behind her and that he would try his best to get there. She knew that PEI Yi and her grandfather would not give up on her this time. She felt more at ease now. When she faced Jiang Zhiyuan, she did not think that he was that scary anymore.

PEI Yi held her hand and brought it to his lips, kissing it gently.

...

I’ve been following Jiang se.

When he arrived, Jiang se was right under his nose. He heaved a sigh of relief. He knew what she was thinking, so he did not interrupt her meeting with Jiang Zhiyuan for fear that she would have a knot in her heart.

He knew that she had ‘possessed” Jiang SE’s’ body. When she faced Jiang Zhiyuan, she must have had complicated feelings. She had to resolve these problems herself. He could not replace her.

Even if he hated that he could not solve everything for her, even if he wanted to hold her in the palm of his hand, pamper her in his mouth, love her, and not let her bear the hardships.

They had been childhood sweethearts and had been together for many years. They knew each other very well and had the same feelings for each other. They did not need to look at each other or explain in detail. He understood her, and she also understood what PEI Yi wanted to say.

“Yi, thank you.” She tilted her head and leaned on PEI Yi’s shoulder. She even rubbed her face against his shoulder and promised, ”

“I’ll listen to you more in the future and won’t make you worry like this again.”

As she said this, she suddenly remembered something.

by the way, Jiang, ” she pursed her lips and changed her way of addressing him, ”

he mentioned Feng Nan’s whereabouts. I should let Grandpa know.

PEI Yi’s eyes flickered as he pulled open his coat and wrapped it around her. He pressed his lips against her hair and murmured softly, ”

“Sese, this person doesn’t belong here.”

Jiang se understood what he meant.

To Jiang se, Feng Nan was a ticking time bomb. She harbored ill intentions toward Jiang se. When she fell into Jiang Zhiyuan’s hands, she might have told him something.

She had made a scene earlier and tried to ruin Jiang SE’s reputation. Now that she had been kidnapped again, it was very likely that she would not speak nonsense after she was rescued.

Jiang se understood all of this. She let go of PEI Yi’s hand and wrapped her arms around his strong waist.

“I know.” Her voice was muffled by PEI Yi’s coat.

it’s just that I’ve experienced what it’s like to be kidnapped and I understand that feeling. I’m not sure what her background is or what kind of person she is, and I don’t want to ask anymore. What her future will be like has nothing to do with me. However, she understood the fear of being in a desperate situation and understood the principle of not giving what one did not want to others.

If something were to happen to Feng Nan one day, she would be the one to blame. It had nothing to do with Jiang Zhiyuan or her, so she would naturally not be so concerned.

She gave Feng Zhongliang a call and told him about Feng Nan’s whereabouts. Since it was a rare holiday, she decided to have a good time in Hong Kong with PEI Yi for two days and let herself loose a little.

Feng Nan’s condition was not good. She had suffered a great deal of physical and mental torture. She was on the verge of an emotional breakdown. She did not even dare to mention Jiang Zhiyuan and Jiang SE’s names. She was used to hiding in a dark and gloomy environment.

When PEI Yi went to see her, the curtains were drawn tightly, and the sound of his footsteps was enough to make her tremble. Her mouth was wide open in fear, but she could not make a sound.

“I don’t care if you’re pretending or not.” His voice was cold, and his tall figure cast a suffocating shadow in the room, making it hard for Feng Nan to breathe. She clutched her neck, and her nails scratched it until it was bloody. She opened her mouth and gasped in pain, like a fish lacking oxygen.

“But you’d better not have any more ideas, and stop talking nonsense and trying to ruin my wife’s reputation.” He pulled out a chair and sat down, looking at the person who was trying hard to curl up on the bed.

The Grudge between you and ‘Jiang se’ should be left behind in the era you were born in. I don’t know what kind of grudge you have between you two, but I know that you have parents and relatives.

After she was reborn, she must have checked his information and left traces.

As soon as PEI Yi finished speaking, Feng Nan’s body trembled. It was obvious that he had heard what PEI Yi had said, and his eyes became clear for a moment.

you know, there are many ways to shut you up, but I hope to use a more civilized way.

After he left, Feng Nan cut himself with a fruit knife and tried to commit suicide. Fortunately, he was discovered in time.

She did not know what Jiang Zhiyuan had done, but she would tremble when she heard Jiang SE’s name. She could not even mention anything related to the word ‘Jiang’. It was as if she would go crazy when she heard it.

This was obviously Jiang Zhiyuan’s intention. It was impossible for her to say anything in this state.

Physical injuries could be treated, but psychological trauma was not so easy to heal.

Xia Chaoqun had called and told her to rush back to the capital the next day. The premiere of ‘suspect’ was the next night, and as the main lead who had won the Best Female Lead Award at the France Film Festival, she could not be absent.

Due to old master PEI’s urgent call, PEI Yi had already returned to xijiu Zhou. He had rushed to Hong Kong this time and had to deal with some matters when he returned.
