Chapter 134: Your Wife and Children I Will Take Care Of Them

Zu An activated his "False Sunflower Phantasm" and dodged the first powerful punch.

Mei Chaofeng, who had witnessed his movement technique that day, snorted coldly and threw another punch, blocking all his escape routes.

Helpless, Zu An had no choice but to unleash the true "Sunflower Phantasm" to evade the fatal blow. As he dodged, he wailed, "Beautiful Principal, I was wrong! But if I die, who will help you take over the Plum Blossom Gang?"

"Huh?" Mei Chaofeng hadn't clearly seen how he had dodged. Just as he was about to attack again, his expression suddenly changed. A woman had appeared in front of Zu An.

Although the woman possessed a pair of long, shapely legs, Mei Chaofeng's attention was entirely fixated on the pencil she held in her hand. "Jiang... Principal Jiang."

Zu An let out a long sigh of relief. "Beautiful Principal, you're finally here."

"Didn't you say you were a superior figure who didn't need to get your hands dirty? Why were you in such a mess just now?" Jiang Luofu's face held a hint of playful amusement.

"Haha, my mouth is good for nothing but boasting. Don't mind it, don't mind it," Zu An chuckled awkwardly. "These women are really petty. So, that last remark offended her."

"I heard you also wanted to live off my patronage?" Jiang Luofu, however, didn't let him off, continuing her inquiry.

"I do, I do," Zu An replied with a fawning smile.

"Hmm?" Jiang Luofu's brows furrowed instantly.

"I haven't yet, not yet," Zu An quickly corrected himself. "Oh no, the guy surnamed Mei ran away!"

Indeed, seeing the two talking, Mei Chaofeng dared not delay. He ran for his life. With Jiang Luofu present, he absolutely couldn't kill Zu An, and whether he could even escape with his life was uncertain. Fortunately, she had been momentarily distracted.

Jiang Luofu looked up, gave a soft hum, and casually drew a line in the air with her pencil. Mei Chaofeng felt a sudden chill in his legs, then instantly lost his balance and sprawled onto the ground.

"What's going on?" He inexplicably turned around, only to see a pair of legs abruptly lying several meters away. He looked down at his own truncated thighs, and only then did the pain register. He couldn't help but clutch his legs, screaming and wailing.

Zu An swallowed hard, secretly glancing at Jiang Luofu's profile. She was as cold and stunning as ever. He couldn't help but secretly feel fortunate; it was a miracle he was still alive after treating her that way several times before.

Look at Mei Chaofeng's fate!

Well, it certainly proves that if you're ugly, you have no rights.

"He's yours now," Jiang Luofu said, clearly having no interest in even speaking to Mei Chaofeng. She settled into the pavilion, her long legs resting naturally on a chair.

Zu An, meanwhile, enthusiastically approached Mei Chaofeng, looking down at him. "Surprise, surprise? Didn't see that coming, did you?"

Mei Chaofeng: "..."

Rage from Mei Chaofeng +1024!

He never imagined that the tables would turn so quickly. The very words he had just used against Zu An were now being turned back on him.

"You bastard, what are you so proud of? This isn't even your own power!" Mei Chaofeng gnashed his teeth, this being his last act of defiance.

Rage from Mei Chaofeng +1024!

Zu An sighed. "Alas, being able to enlist such power to serve me is also a skill, isn't it?"

"How could you possibly persuade Principal Jiang? How could you..." Mei Chaofeng mumbled to himself, still unable to accept the reality.

"The joy of being handsome like me is something an ugly guy like you will never understand," Zu An said, looking at him with a sympathetic expression.

Mei Chaofeng: "..."

Rage from Mei Chaofeng +666!

Zu An subtly moved aside, dodging the spray of blood that shot from Mei Chaofeng's wounds due to his emotional agitation.

People in this world truly have tenacious vitality; even in such a state, he hadn't fainted.

"Your current state reminds me of Plum Blossom Twelve," Zu An said with a grin. "He also held out for quite a while."

"So, you did kill Old Twelve!" Mei Chaofeng glared at him, thinking how he had accused Zu An of this very crime yesterday, only to be outmaneuvered and thrown into prison himself.

At this thought, the malicious anger in his heart surged.

Rage from Mei Chaofeng +999!

"Plum Blossom Twelve tried to kill me, and I killed him in self-defense. Let's not dwell on these useless matters," Zu An said, squatting in front of him. "Quickly tell me where your Plum Blossom Gang's ledgers are, where your liquid assets are, which officials you're connected with, what secret channels you have, and all sorts of other secrets like that."

Mei Chaofeng was now lying flat on the ground, as if resigned to his fate. Hearing Zu An's words, he still laughed in exasperation. "How idiotic are you to think I'd tell you any of that?"

Rage from Mei Chaofeng +730!

"Do you know that sometimes, a quick and painless death is a blessing?" Zu An sighed, speaking with a pitying tone.

"Hmph, bring out whatever methods you have. If I so much as whimper, I'm no man!" Having inflicted countless tortures over the years as part of the Plum Blossom Gang, Mei Chaofeng was well aware of what lay in store.

"It seems people in your world lack imagination. I can give you a rough idea," Zu An said, pulling a stone over to use as a stool, and slowly began to describe things as if chatting casually. "You know how eels and loaches burrow into any crevice, right? What if I strip you naked and throw you into a barrel full of eels and loaches? Where do you think they'd end up burrowing?"

"If that's not enough, I could bury you alive up to your neck, cut open your scalp, and pour mercury inside. Then your whole body would itch terribly, making you struggle and writhe desperately. But with only one exit point, *pop*, your whole self would burst out from the top of your head, leaving only your skin buried in the earth. Tell me, if there's no skin left, would you bleed or not?"

Hearing his bizarre torture methods, Jiang Luofu in the distant pavilion felt her heart quicken a little. Where did this young man learn so many cruel things?

"You brat, just kill me if you're going to kill me. Stop telling me all this nonsense." Mei Chaofeng's voice began to tremble. He suddenly felt that compared to this guy, the Plum Blossom Gang's methods seemed as pure as white flowers.

Rage from Mei Chaofeng +444!

Zu An smiled faintly. "I'm not finished yet. From what I know, while you've had many women over the years, few truly touched your heart. Wang Cuihua from the south of the city seems to be an exception. She even bore you a pair of twins, didn't she? In this life, everyone wants to leave behind an heir, right?"

Mei Chaofeng's eyes instantly turned red. He hurriedly looked at Jiang Luofu. "Principal Jiang, is this how your academy operates? Even we in the underworld know that calamities shouldn't extend to family."

Before Jiang Luofu could reply, Zu An had already spoken. "Who said I was going to kill them? I just wanted to tell you, 'I will raise your wife and children; you needn't worry.'"

"You!" Mei Chaofeng was so enraged he wanted to bite him, but Jiang Luofu's previous attack had not only severed his legs but also completely destroyed the vital energy within him, rendering him unable to even sit up.

Rage from Mei Chaofeng +999!

"Have you thought it through?" Zu An asked. "Are you going to speak quickly for a painless end, or endure endless torment only to confess in the end?"

What hellish karma have I accumulated?!

Mei Chaofeng was on the verge of tears. Not long ago, he had been fantasizing about torturing this guy to death, but now the retribution had swiftly fallen upon himself. The opponent hadn't given him the option of enduring torture and remaining silent, and he knew he likely couldn't withstand the torment methods described. Moreover, the opponent was threatening his wife and children.

The choice was, in fact, quite clear.

"The Plum Blossom Gang's ledgers are divided into two parts: one in the secret room of the study, and the other in a hidden compartment in the bedroom..."

Mei Chaofeng stared blankly at the blue sky above, his face an expression of utter brokenness, as he robotically recounted everything about the Plum Blossom Gang.

"You, Zu, will surely die a terrible death!" Mei Chaofeng cursed through gritted teeth. He could feel his life force ebbing away as more blood flowed.

Rage from Mei Chaofeng +999!

Zu An smiled faintly. "My apologies, but according to my wife Chu Yan, good people don't live long, but scoundrels like me last a thousand years. So I can live happily for at least another thousand years."

Mei Chaofeng could no longer suppress the churning qi and blood, and a mouthful of fresh blood spurted out.

A generation's underworld kingpin was literally infuriated to death.

His eyes were wide open, staring in death, unable to rest in peace!

Rage from Mei Chaofeng +1024!

Zu An scurried back to the pavilion. "Beautiful Principal, mission perfectly accomplished."

Jiang Luofu gave him a complex look. "Being your enemy must be a very painful experience."

Zu An smiled with extreme simplicity. "Being your friend, on the other hand, must be a very pleasant experience."

Jiang Luofu hummed, then stood up. "Let's go. I'll send people to clean this place up. Taking over the Plum Blossom Gang is your responsibility now. I'll send some people to help you."

"Good, I guarantee the mission will be completed!" Zu An thumped his chest, promising.

The two then returned to the academy, one following the other.

An hour later, Shi Kun heard the news, and the cup in his hand dropped to the ground. "Mei Chaofeng is dead? How is that possible!"

Shi Lezhi said gravely, "I've personally confirmed it. It's absolutely true."

Shi Kun looked bewildered. "How could this be? Mei Chaofeng was at peak fifth-rank; killing Zu An should have been effortless. How could he have failed?"

Xue'er, standing by, said, "To answer young master, someone saw Zu An and Principal Jiang returning together from outside the academy just now."

"Jiang Luofu? How did she get involved with Zu An?" Shi Kun's face was a mixture of shock and uncertainty. Her high status and cultivation made him re-evaluate his own position.

"It must have been a coincidence," Shi Lezhi said. "Perhaps Mei Chaofeng was just unlucky to run into her." No matter how hard he thought, he couldn't fathom any connection between Zu An and Jiang Luofu.

Shi Kun evidently shared the same thought. "Damn it, why is that Zu fellow so lucky!"

He had set up one trap after another, not only failing to succeed but also losing his own men in the process.

Xue'er spoke up, "Young Master, the Yao Guang Secret Realm opens in three days. Killing someone in the secret realm is virtually undetectable. I will personally take action then."

Shi Kun nodded. "That's all we can do for now. I'll bring another group of people to assist you in the secret realm!"

As Zu An displayed more and more abilities, Shi Kun's sense of crisis grew. After all, every day that passed meant a greater risk of the woman he desired losing her virtue, which was something he absolutely could not accept.
