The Atypical Young Lady Has Returned

Chapter 395 - Jones

Chapter 395: Jones

“I heard that the Jones Family has steadily surpassed the Bruce Family, and there have already been tremors within the Jones Family. Your illegitimate brother has snatched most of the power of the Jones Family in just a few days.”

“You don’t seem to be very strict as the head of the family. Your subordinates betrayed you so quickly.”

“Perhaps you’ll need my help when you return to Country Y.”

“So, it’s best if Jones doesn’t hold a grudge for what I did in a hurry back then. You still have a need to continue cooperating with me.”

“Mr. Liu’s words make some sense.”

Lind Jones didn’t seem to be in a hurry at all. It had clearly only been a few days before Bo Lang had snatched most of the power in the Jones Family.

“Not strict enough? Mr. Liu is right about that. However, I’ve been away from the family for almost three years. Even if I go back occasionally, I’ve still distanced myself from the people under me. It’s inevitable that they’ll betray me.”

“Let them be free and let that illegitimate son be smug for a few more days. I took over the Jones Family when I was 12 years old. It’s not like I didn’t do anything for eight years. The power of the family will still be mine when I return. Mr. Liu, you can rest assured about that.”

“As for whether I need Mr. Liu’s help or not, that’s a matter for the future. However, in order to avoid really needing Mr. Liu’s help in the future, I don’t want to become enemies with Mr. Liu.”

One second ago, he said that they shouldn’t offend each other, but the very next second, he said, “Speaking of which, how can I compare to Mr. Liu when it comes to being strict? After all, Mr. Liu was destroyed by the people he nurtured and became a stray dog, right?”

“You—!” Liu Yu and Liu Guang said angrily at the same time.

Only Hei Yao was calm.

He had no visible emotions.

Being pointed at by a few guns again, Lind Jones said indifferently, “Mr. Liu and Little Mr. Liu Yu, don’t be rash. I believe you don’t want another enemy now.”

“I’m just telling the truth. Is there a need to be so agitated? Just like how Mr. Liu said that I’m not strict, I’m not angry either.”

Liu Guang raised his hand again and those people retracted their guns.

“You have a point. I was too narrow-minded.” Although he said that, Liu Guang actually wanted to kill Lind Jones.

However, the current situation was not suitable for him to have another enemy, so he chose to endure it.

“I was indeed bitten by someone I nurtured. This is not a secret, and it’s not something that can’t be said out loud.”

“Since you’re here, come in first. Let’s discuss our countermeasures against the enemy.”

Liu Yu still wanted to say something, but Liu Guang glanced at him.

He then shut up unwillingly.

The masked man pushed Lind Jones over, and Lind Jones’s gaze landed on Feng Yun, who looked otherworldly in the room.

Instantly, Lind Jones’s aggressive and strange gaze locked onto Feng Yun.

Everyone knew that Lind Jones was a pervert.

Feng Yun did not react to his gaze, but someone spoke first, “He’s Sir’s man now. We can’t touch him.”

No one expected Hei Yao to say that, including Feng Yun.

He glanced at Hei Yao strangely.

Liu Guang also looked up at Hei Yao, sizing him up.

Hei Yao did not avoid him and let him size him up.

Not only did he not avoid him, he even looked straight into his eyes.

He seemed to be saying that it would be useless no matter who spoke up if he wanted to protect Feng Yun.

Liu Guang chuckled but didn’t say anything.

Once again, Feng Yun saw Liu Guang’s indulgence towards Hei Yao.

“I rarely see Mr. Hei Yao speak up after working together for so long. I naturally have to give Mr. Hei Yao some face.”

“Don’t worry. This is just a normal reaction when I see something new. I won’t really do anything.” He looked at Feng Yun. “Besides, this person isn’t someone to be trifled with.”

“I’ve long heard of the Yin Family’s young master, Mr. Feng Yun.”

His gaze was still very aggressive.

However, Feng Yun was not affected at all. Other than still concealing a little killing intent for Liu Guang and the surprise of knowing that his mother was still alive, there was nothing else in his emotions.

“You’re welcome, Mr. Jones,. I’ve long heard of Mr. Jones. I heard that Mr. Jones had just exchanged blows with my cousin and my cousin’s fiancée not long ago. I’ve always wanted to meet Mr. Jones. I didn’t expect to meet you so quickly.”

“Oh? So Mr. Feng knows about that too? I’m ashamed. I’m not as capable as Second Young Master Yin and Eldest Miss Yan. I’ve suffered a crushing defeat.”

This Lind Jones…

Feng Yun looked at him meaningfully. “You’re being humble, Mr. Jones.”

Lind Jones smiled and didn’t say anything.

His gaze at Feng Yun was still very strange.

He only retracted his gaze that was locked on Feng Yun when the masked man pushed his wheelchair.

He said calmly, “Eldest Miss Yan is Mr. Liu’s enemy. Of course, she’s also my enemy and my father’s killer. Mr. Feng is Eldest Miss Yan’s fiancé’s cousin. Mr. Hei Yao just said that Mr. Feng is one of us.”

“I’m already confused about our relationships.”

“So, which side are you helping now, Mr. Feng?”

Feng Yun didn’t say anything. The hidden killing intent burst out again when he looked at Liu Guang.

Not to mention Lind Jones, who was close by, even Feng Qing and Feng Hua, who were hiding upstairs and didn’t dare to come down, sensed that strong killing intent.

At this moment, Liu Guang said, “We are all together, what do you think?”

“Together. I understand.” Ling Jones’ eyes were filled with excitement.

He looked like he was watching a show.

Liu Guang frowned and didn’t say anything more to him. Instead, he said to Feng Yun, “I don’t think I have to say anything about what to do, right?”

“No. 99 is next door now. Go over first and cooperate with us later. Remember, your mother’s life is in your hands.”

“You better guarantee that my mother is fine. Otherwise…”

With that, Feng Yun turned and left without looking back.

Watching his retreating back, Lind Jones narrowed his eyes and retracted his gaze. “So, Mr. Liu has planted someone within the enemy? Or is it the enemy’s trusted Mr. Feng?”

“As you can see.”

“Nice move, Mr. Liu!”

“In that case, Mr. Liu had long expected this day to come. That’s why you used someone else’s corpse to replace the eldest daughter of the Yin Family?”

Before Liu Guang could reply, Lind Jones continued, “If that’s really the case, Mr. Liu is really planning ahead!”

“Fortunately, I didn’t resist back then. I compromised as soon as Mr. Liu threatened me. Otherwise, if I were to be treated as an enemy by Mr. Liu, I don’t know what miserable outcome I would have.”

These words didn’t sound like a compliment but more like mockery.

“Speak properly. Who are you mocking by being so strange?” Liu Yu said angrily.

“Mocking? So what I’m saying sounds like sarcasm to Mr. Liu Yu?”

“I’m really sorry about that. You also know that Chinese is not my native language. Although my Chinese is similar to yours when I speak it, I still haven’t mastered the essence of Chinese. It’s inevitable that my words will cause a deviation in one’s understanding.”

Liu Yu was rendered speechless. He wanted to refute, but what Lind Jones said was indeed the truth. He couldn’t refute it at all.

But he couldn’t take it if he didn’t refute him!

He dared to say that Lind Jones knew exactly what he was saying. He was clearly doing it on purpose!

“Alright, stop arguing. Since you’re here, let’s get down to business,” Liu Guang interrupted.

There were so many of them, and Yan Jinyu only had her and Xi Fengling. Now that they had successfully instigated Feng Yun to rebel and were in their own territory, they could just attack directly. Why would they need to discuss any countermeasures?

At the end of the day, they were still too afraid of Yan Jinyu.

After saying that, Liu Guang looked at the Feng father and son upstairs. “You guys come down too.”

Cowards. How dare he even want to develop the Feng Family into an existence that surpassed the three top families in the capital?

The Yin Family’s status in the system was unparalleled. The Min Family was unparalleled in the medical world. The Qin Family had its own say in the military world. What did the Feng Family have?

If it wasn’t for Feng Li back then, he wouldn’t have noticed the Feng Family.

He had thought that the Feng Family would be a good family if they could raise someone like Feng Li. They didn’t expect that other than Feng Lun and Feng Xu, who had some talent, no one else in the Feng Family was capable.

At that time, Feng Lun and Feng Xu were still children, so he had the intention to nurture them.

However, Feng Xu’s temperament was very similar to Feng Li’s, so he couldn’t like him no matter what. Hence, he only nurtured Feng Lun.

If not for the fact that most of his power had been destroyed and the Feng Family would still be useful, why would he keep Feng Hua and Feng Qing alive?

Fortunately, Feng Lun didn’t disappoint him. He had some potential and was a good talent after being nurtured. Putting everything else aside, Feng Lun’s marksmanship was very good. He could be considered one of the top few people he had trained.

Suddenly, Liu Guang looked at a corner upstairs.

His gaze was sharp.

After staring at it for about 10 seconds, Hei Yao asked, “Sir, what’s wrong?”

He called back Liu Guang’s attention.

Liu Guang glanced at Hei Yao, then looked up at the corner he was looking at upstairs and frowned.

Was it his imagination?

It should be. Otherwise, with his vigilance, if someone was really hidden there, he wouldn’t have only discovered it now.

Taking a step back, even if his attention was on something else just now and he didn’t notice, Yu and Yao’er were still here, it didn’t make sense that they didn’t notice either.

Maybe he was thinking too much.

He looked away. “Nothing.”

Lind Jones looked at Hei Yao.

Hei Yao sensed it and looked at him.

Their gazes met and Lind Jones smiled strangely.

However, Hei Yao looked away calmly as if he did not see it.

He continued to be an emotionless machine.

Lind Jones’ smile became even stranger.

“Mr. Liu, aren’t we talking about serious matters? You can say it now.”

***

On the other side, Yan Jinyu had already played a few rounds with Feng Lun.

Feng Lun had never done anything special. Other than instructing someone to make a pot of tea midway, he had been playing chess.

Yan Jinyu was playing chess with him.

Let’s see who can sit still.

However, in the end, this situation was not broken by her or Feng Lun. Instead, it was a shout from beyond the courtyard.

“How dare you stop me? Do you know who I am? Do you believe that I’ll get Third Uncle to chase you out of the Feng Family!”

The few of them looked over. There were two men dressed as servants at the entrance. Who else could it be but Feng Yan in a wheelchair?
