She hated that she was not present when Xia Pu was kidnapped; otherwise, she would have made them pay!
To avenge Xia Pu, Hua Ling personally led a team to the Zheng Family’s home.
Upon hearing of Hua Ling’s arrival, Father Zheng was quite surprised and promptly welcomed them inside.
"Young Master Hua, what a rare visitor you are! What wind has blown you our way? Please, take a seat, and I’ll have tea served for you right away," Father Zheng greeted him warmly, smiling eagerly.
Hua Ling had never liked Zheng Peng’s father.
The fault of the son lies with the father.
After all, it was because Father Zheng cleaned up after him that Zheng Peng had been able to act without repercussions for so long.
But this time, they finally met their downfall.
Hua Ling sneered, "Mr. Zheng, there’s no need for tea. I’m just here to deliver a message."
Father Zheng, perplexed, suggested, "What message? Perhaps we should sit down and talk."
"No need. Didn’t your son tell you yesterday?" Hua Ling retorted.
Father Zheng stiffened suddenly, as though something had dawned on him, and his complexion turned somewhat pale. "Young Master Hua, what do you mean by that? My son hasn’t mentioned anything to me. Has he perhaps offended you unintentionally? If so, I’ll bring him here to apologize to you right away. Please be magnanimous, and don’t take it to heart."
Hua Ling snorted, "I’m afraid that even a thousand apologies won’t save him this time, nor your Zheng Family."
Upon hearing this, Father Zheng got an ominous feeling.
"Young Master Hua, what exactly happened? Please, just tell me..." he urged.
"Fine!" Hua Ling said with a cold sneer, "Your son angered me yesterday, and I had him notify you that the Zheng Family has three days to get out of Haidao City. Didn’t he tell you?"
Father Zheng shook his head, his face draining of color, "No... Young Master Hua, how could he have angered you so that you would treat our Zheng Family this way?"
Being forced out of Haidao City within three days was tantamount to destruction for them.
"How he angered me isn’t important anymore. What’s important is, Mr. Zheng, this time even gods won’t be able to save your son. What was he thinking? If he had an issue, he should have come directly at me. Why kidnap someone else to threaten me? Now, it’s not just about your family leaving Haidao City," Hua Ling said with smug satisfaction, but Father Zheng just grew paler as he listened.
He asked in disbelief, "Are you saying, my son... he kidnapped someone?"
"That’s right. Do you know whom he kidnapped to threaten me?" Hua Ling asked coldly.
Father Zheng shook his head, his internal panic rising...
Hua Ling’s laugh was cold as ice, "He dared to kidnap Pei Yuanze’s wife. Do you know who Pei Yuanze is?"
"What?!" Father Zheng exclaimed in shock.
Of course, he knew who Pei Yuanze was!
The youngest General in Haidao City, an existence that no one dared to provoke...
"Young Master Hua, you can’t be joking! This is not something to joke about. How could my son commit such a deed? I don’t believe it; it’s impossible!" Father Zheng cried out incredulously.
Hua Ling’s expression turned grim, "Impossible?! How many impossible things has your son done over the years? You should’ve seen this day coming for him!"
"No..." Father Zheng staggered back a step, unable to fathom the possibility.
How could his son have kidnapped Pei Yuanze’s wife? It was absolutely impossible.
But he also knew, it was probably true...
