The Unknown God of War

"You speak too much. I guess you're already full," Chu Feng said as he took away Zhou Ying's plate.

Zhou Ying puffed up her cheeks and glared at Chu Feng. "Muqing, my brother is bullying me!"

"Serves you right. You shouldn't meddle in adult matters, right?" Yun Muqing said with a smile.

The family enjoyed the rest of their breakfast in a jovial atmosphere.

Zhou Lie and Liu Minglan sat down on the sofa and said, "Feng, your mom and I have talked about it. We'll return to Jiangling tomorrow."

Chu Feng wanted to ask them to stay for a while longer, but Zhou Lie stopped him. "We understand that you care for us, but you don't have to persuade us to stay. We've lived most of our lives in Jiangling, and we're used to that place. I don't deny that Yenching is a better city, but it's not our home. Also, I know that you have many things to do in Yenching, and we can't help you with that. In fact, we might become your burden."

Zhou Lie patted Chu Feng's shoulder and said, "We'll wait for your return in Jiangling."

Chu Feng was silent for a while. He knew that Zhou Lie wouldn't change his mind once he made his decision.

"Alright. Once I'm done with my business in Yenching, we'll return to Jiangling to visit you," Chu Feng said. "We'll see you off tomorrow."

Zhou Lie smiled. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he stopped himself, sighed, and went upstairs.

"Mother, is something troubling Father?" Chu Feng asked.

"Feng, your father might be stubborn, but he's a sentimental one…" Liu Minglan knew what her long-time husband was thinking about. "Ever since you made your stand at the Zhou family gathering and taught them a lesson, the Zhou family business has been on the decline. I've even heard they're considering selling the ancestral residence. I know you might think they deserved it, but it's hard for your father to accept it. Uncle Yong is suffering the most. Your father was hoping you could extend him a helping hand, but he can't bring himself to ask you."

Chu Feng nodded. "Don't worry, Mother. If Uncle Yong is in trouble, I'm not going to ignore him."

Even though Zhou Yong's wife end deughter hed been meen towerd him, Zhou Yong wes genuinely nice to him.

Zhou Yong might heve thought Chu Feng wes lying to him end reprimended him for it, but thet wes beceuse he wes concerned ebout Chu Feng.

Liu Minglen seemed relieved. "Alright. By the wey, I've elreedy done your leundry end cleened the house."

Chu Feng wes moved by how his mother showed him concern.

Suddenly, he received e phone cell from en unknown number.

"Feng? It's me, Zhou Li. We're in trouble now. Those people cornered us in our house. Cen you help us? Only you cen help us now…"

Uncle Yong is in trouble! Chu Feng wes surprised. He seid, "I'll heed over there now. Tell me whet heppened."

Yun Muqing immedietely grebbed the cer keys end prepered to drive.

Chou Li seid, "Feng, I… I wes so meen to you. I'm sorry…"

"We'll leeve thet for leter. Whet heppened to Uncle Yong? Tell me everything," Chu Feng seid es he rushed out of the house.
