Chapter 35: Bullying the Weak
Page 1 of 3
The one-month deadline was drawing near.
Huang Long had begun counting down the days on his fingers.
He knew that, after committing one foolish blunder after another, his chances of surviving were slim.
But he was unwilling to give up.
When Huang Long arrived at Luhu Heaven Realm, he knelt before the entrance to Tang Xuan’s villa.
The moment he appeared, everyone from the sales staff to the property-management personnel was stunned.
They had never seen such a prominent figure before.
Although Luhu Heaven Realm was Jiang City’s most prestigious residential development, a great clan like the Huang family would normally have no interest in a commercial housing project.
Families of that stature preferred to purchase land and build their own estates.
When Huang Long dropped to his knees, the onlookers were even more horrified.
Who in Jiang City did not know Huang Long’s status? Yet a man of such standing had actually knelt before someone!
Yang Tong walked over to Yu Xin and, his lips trembling, asked, “Who exactly is he? Even Huang Long has to kneel before him!”
Of all the staff members, only Yu Xin and Yang Tong knew whom Huang Long was kneeling for.
They had both personally witnessed Huang Ying kneel before Tang Xuan.
Yu Xin said, “All you need to know is that he’s someone we can never afford to offend.”
Ever since the incident last time, Yang Tong had not only abandoned any improper thoughts about Yu Xin, but had also stopped making things difficult for her at work.
Tang Xuan was responsible for all of it.
“Aren’t you going to try to get closer to him? If you manage to win that man’s favor, you’ll rise straight to the top in Jiang City.”
Yu Xin gave a self-mocking smile.
“A man like him could never take an interest in someone like me.”
“Helping me last time was merely something he did on a whim. If I assumed that meant he had improper intentions toward me, I’d be a complete fool.”
“He’s a man, and all men are lustful. Besides, you’re not bad-looking.”
Yu Xin turned toward Yang Tong with a cold laugh.
“A man like him—is someone as ordinary as you qualified to speculate about him?”
“Just because you’re lustful, does that mean he must be lustful too?”
It had to be said that Yu Xin was an exceptionally clear-headed woman. She knew exactly where she stood.
Yang Tong was rendered speechless.
Tang Xuan walked to the entrance of the villa.
Trembling all over, Huang Long bent down and struck his forehead heavily against the ground.
Tang Qinghua and the others had long since grown used to such scenes.
No matter how miraculous an event occurred around Tang Xuan, they no longer found it strange.
“Young Miracle Doctor, the one-month deadline is almost up. Please, I beg you to grant me the medicine.”
“Go home and prepare your funeral.”
Horror filled Huang Long’s eyes as he repeatedly knocked his head against the ground.
“Young Miracle Doctor, please save my life.”
“I must still have some value to you in Jiang City.”

“I’m willing to do anything for you.”
Tang Xuan said coldly, “I have no need for a fool to work for me.”
Before Huang Long had committed one foolish act after another, Tang Xuan had never intended to kill him.
As he had said, given his position, Huang Long could indeed have helped Tang Xuan with certain matters.
But Huang Long’s repeated stupidity had completely extinguished Tang Xuan’s interest in him.
Besides, Tang Xuan now had Li Meng as his puppet, leaving Huang Long with even less value.
“Young Miracle Doctor, Li Meng is bound to betray you. He’ll never be as loyal to you as I am.”
“If you’ll let me live, I’ll do anything.”
Seeing Huang Long’s abject state, Tang Qinghua felt a pang of pity.
He was no longer young, yet he still had to kneel there, bowing and apologizing so humbly.
“I’ll give you three minutes to get out of my sight. Otherwise, I’ll have no choice but to kill you myself.”
Huang Long fell into utter despair.
He knew Tang Xuan was not merely trying to frighten him.
He left Luhu Heaven Realm in a daze.
Huang Long was doomed to die.
Knowing that he had only a few days left to live, he went to the Wei family to bid farewell to his old friend.
Since Wei Li’s death, Wei Feng had aged considerably in a very short time.
The moment Huang Long saw his dispirited old friend, he realized that something serious must have happened to the Wei family.
“Old Wei, has something happened at home?”
Wei Feng had not announced Wei Li’s death to the outside world. He still could not bring himself to accept it.
“Wei Li is dead!”
Huang Long was stunned.
“What happened?”
Wei Feng drew a deep breath and explained what had occurred two days earlier.
When Huang Long heard that the culprit was a young man whom even Duke Wei had not dared to confront, he immediately guessed that it had been Tang Xuan.
Only Tang Xuan was that young.
Only Tang Xuan was that powerful.
“Didn’t I warn you to keep your family low-profile?”
Wei Feng gave a bitter smile.
“The very day you warned me, Wei Li had already sent people to smash up his home.”
Huang Long’s eyelids twitched violently.
No wonder he had no chance of surviving.
Sending people to destroy Tang Xuan’s home was nothing short of courting death!
“How did their grudge begin?”
At the mention of this, Wei Feng grew even more furious.
If that woman had not fabricated those lies, how could Wei Li have met such an end?

“Bring that slut out here.”
The Wei family servants dragged Liu Ling into the sitting room.
Over the past two days, Liu Ling had been tortured until she was barely recognizable.
Wei Feng had no intention of letting her die quickly.
He wanted her to suffer every torment imaginable. Only then could he ease the pain in his heart.
“It was all because that slut incited him. Otherwise, Wei Li wouldn’t even have known him. How could he have made such a terrible mistake?”
As he spoke, Wei Feng kicked Liu Ling viciously.
During those days, Liu Ling had regretted her actions countless times, but regret was useless.
She had to pay the price for what she had done.
Wei Feng asked Huang Long, “Why did you come to see me today?”
Huang Long gave a bitter smile.
“I came to say goodbye.”
Wei Feng frowned.
“You’re leaving Jiang City?”
“The Huang family’s roots are here. Starting over somewhere else won’t be easy.”
Huang Long shook his head with a bitter smile.
“I’m going to die soon.”
Wei Feng’s heart jolted.
Huang Long looked perfectly healthy, and his spirits seemed high. Nothing about him suggested that he was a dying man.
“The young man you met is the Young Miracle Doctor who healed me before.”
“But his medicine can sustain my life for only one month.”
“I made some foolish mistakes, so he refuses to give me any more medicine. My death is certain.”
Wei Feng’s expression darkened.
“Are you really willing to die?”
“Just because he has some ability, does that mean he can use his strength to bully the weak?”
Huang Long found the question somewhat laughable.
“Have you and I never bullied those weaker than us?”
“We’ve both bullied plenty of the weak simply because we were stronger.”
“Now that the consequences have come back upon us, can’t you accept them?”
“Have you ever wondered what those powerless people we mistreated felt back then?”
“Exactly what you feel now.”
The words were harsh, but they were the truth.
Wei Feng still refused to resign himself to fate.
“I won’t accept my fate without fighting back.”
Huang Long said, “I know why you haven’t announced Wei Li’s death to the outside world. You want revenge.”
“Once you’ve had your revenge, you’ll announce both matters at the same time. That way, the Wei family won’t lose face completely. Am I right?”
