Dragon King Palace: Urban Affluent Son-in-Law

Chapter 1015: A Dark and Stormy Night for Murder!

Nothing happened?!

As the storm outside was pouring down, Nangong Yan was also pondering over Jiang Feng's words.

Could it be that something really unexpected happened and Young Master Jian didn't arrive as promised?

Then she and Jin Shixiang would have wasted their efforts!

At this moment, Jin Shixiang returned from outside with a flustered expression; he hadn't managed to get through to Dugu Jian at all!

This is really too bizarre, how could a living person disappear without a trace?

"In-laws, dear in-laws, shall we sit a little longer and chat?"

Geng Qiujie looked at everyone coming in and said awkwardly to the Nangong Family.

Just now by the lotus pond, because both Nangong Yan and Jin Shixiang were distracted, the so-called engagement arrangements didn't achieve any substantial progress.

Even though Nangong Honghu personally presided over the meeting, due to Nangong Yan's hesitation and reluctance to respond, the situation became awkward at times.

Afterwards, these two insisted on returning, so everyone simply accompanied them back.

"No, dear in-law, as you can see, it's pouring outside, let's not discuss further tonight, better to head back early."

Zhao Chunhua, feeling somewhat dispirited from all the commotion, forced a smile and said, "After all, we've established connections now, there's plenty of opportunity to meet in the future, no rush for tonight, let's choose another auspicious day to discuss the kids!"

"Alright!" Geng Qiujie nodded in agreement, "So that's it for tonight. Our Shixiang has already settled the bill, we can leave directly."

Just as everyone was about to walk out, without much enthusiasm, suddenly Jin Shixiang stepped forward and stared intently at Jiang Feng, "Jiang Feng, let me ask you, are you sure no one came in just now?"

"Of course, who do you want to come in?" Jiang Feng looked at Jin Shixiang playfully, with a hint of mockery in his eyes.

"I—"

Just as Jin Shixiang was about to say something further, Nangong Yan forcefully pulled him aside with an ugly expression and said, "Let's go, we'll talk about it when we get back!"

Feeling helpless, Jin Shixiang had no choice but to temporarily let Jiang Feng go and followed Nangong Yan out with a complex mood.

In the private room, only Jiang Feng and Nangong Qingcheng were left.

"What's wrong with those two? They seemed to have hidden meanings in their words. We agreed to discuss the engagement tonight, but ended up leaving without a result. What's the point of this dinner? Why does it feel like they've had other intentions from the start?"

Nangong Qingcheng frowned, muttering to herself.

Even Nangong Qingcheng could see through it, showing how poor their acting skills were.

"Let's go, it doesn't concern us anyway, let's go back, wash up, sleep, and tomorrow will surely be a sunny day."

Jiang Feng smiled slightly, got up, hugged Nangong Qingcheng's fragrant shoulders, and naturally led her out.

Being taken lightly by Jiang Feng like this, Nangong Qingcheng immediately couldn't focus on those strange matters, and simply glared at Jiang Feng with a discontent expression. However, she didn't break free and just blushed as Jiang Feng held her, going out together.

Just, when they faced the storm and reached the parking lot, the scene outside left them dumbfounded!

Not just Nangong Qingcheng, even the families who walked out earlier, along with Jin Shixiang and Nangong Yan, were stunned!

What exactly happened here a moment ago?!

Several shocking pits on the ground stood out, with the area in disarray, some poplar trees toppled over, and some cut in half... it felt like a serious accident had just occurred here?

"Jiang Feng, what's going on here? Why are the trees down and the ground damaged..."

Nangong Qingcheng, seeking shelter from the rain, nestled into Jiang Feng's embrace and asked perplexedly.

"Struck by lightning, washed by rain, what's so strange about it, let's get in the car!"

Jiang Feng still had a carefree smile and made a remark before taking Nangong Qingcheng directly to the car.

Struck by lightning, washed by rain... whether or not one agrees with Jiang Feng's explanation!

Why is everything else perfectly fine, yet this place has suffered surface damage?

Nangong Yan and Jin Shixiang had a strong premonition in their hearts that all of this was absolutely related to Dugu Jian and the experts he brought along!

But now, why can't they find any trace of Young Master Jian, while Jiang Feng remains aloof?

They couldn't understand, truly couldn't, but for now, they could only withhold their doubts, get in the car, and plan to reconsider the situation later.

Even a simple engagement dinner seemed to "end unpleasantly," as Mr. and Mrs. Jin and the Nangong Family bid farewell and drove away, while Jiang Feng casually took Nangong Qingcheng back to the mansion.

Before getting out of the car, Jiang Feng suddenly recalled, "Oh no, I think I left my phone at that farmhouse."

"Hmm?"

Just as Nangong Qingcheng was about to step out of the car, she paused, mildly speechless, "How could you be so careless, then let's go back, I'll accompany you to retrieve it."

"No need, you go ahead, take a shower and rest, it's just right to avoid Fei'er and the others seeing us return together. I'll be back soon." Jiang Feng smiled.

Nangong Qingcheng thought it made sense too. Just retrieving a phone, it's not a hassle, better to avoid going home together.

She had no choice but to open the car door again and step out, braving the rain, "Alright then, you hurry back quickly, drive carefully, and watch the road..."

"Okay."

Jiang Feng smiled and closed the car door, starting up the car and leaving once more.

…

At this time, Jin Shixiang and Nangong Yan were also driving back to Kang Bridge Sunshine.

After parting with their families, Jin Shixiang attempted to call Dugu Jian over ten times, but without exception, none were answered, making him feel the situation becoming increasingly bizarre!

"Xiao Yan, do you think that Young Master Jian possibly never came to Binhai, suddenly noticing the bad weather and went back?" Jin Shixiang asked uneasily.

"How could that be? Didn't Young Master Jian tell you before that he had already arrived in Binhai? His hatred towards that bastard Jiang Feng is no less than ours, there's no reason he'd leave without making a move." Nangong Yan snorted coldly.

"Then what do you think is happening now? We can't get in touch with Young Master Jian, while Jiang Feng remains unscathed. If Young Master Jian really encountered any setbacks in Binhai, we would be in serious trouble."

Jin Shixiang was drenched in cold sweat, knowing better than anyone else the gravity of the situation: if Dugu Jian faced even the slightest harm in Binhai, the Dugu Family would never forgive them!

"Why are you telling me this?"

Nangong Yan snapped irritably, "If you're really worried, then let's head back to the farmhouse and take another look; maybe we'll find some clues!"

"Alright!"

Jin Shixiang took a deep breath and immediately turned around, heading back to the farmhouse.

At that moment, a pale white lightning bolt suddenly slashed across the night sky, illuminating the earth for a brief moment, followed closely by a deafening thunder, and the rain grew heavier!

Large raindrops pounded down one after another, the windshield wipers couldn't clear the blurred window.

For some reason, Nangong Yan suddenly had an ominous foreboding, as if she and Jin Shixiang were about to encounter something!

This torrential storm, desolate night reflected those dark, murderous nights described on television!
