Chapter 169: Chapter 169: The Last Day of the Phoenix

In the villa of Qiao Chushan.

Hua Hudie, with sobs, was holding the baby in swaddling clothes.

That pitiable appearance truly tugged at the heartstrings.

Qiao Chufeng sat nearby.

His face bore a somber expression as he looked at the corpses of his two younger brothers.

"Sister-in-law, tell me the truth, what exactly happened to my two brothers?"

After a long silence, Qiao Chufeng finally spoke.

"Big brother, you better not ask... I’ve already caused the death of the second brother... I can’t cause your death too... and I’ve also heard Chushan say, you hate him the most for not taking the straight path... but... but now he has repented and reformed... just didn’t expect that those people still wouldn’t let him go... The second brother was impulsive... he wanted to confront them... but still, he was no match for them."

Hua Hudie, dabbing at her tears, sneakily glanced at Qiao Chufeng’s expression.

Clearly, he was not like Qiao Chuhai, greedy and lascivious.

She had persistently entangled herself with him just before, yet he had always avoided touching any sensitive area.

He was definitely a tough nut to crack.

"I’ve always said that this path should not be taken, but they just wouldn’t listen. If only they had known this would happen, why did they ever begin!"

Qiao Chufeng clenched his fists, his eyes filled with tears.

After all, the bond of blood was not so easily severed.

"Big brother... Chushan really did his best to learn well, and the security company he started, isn’t it to protect the peace of the people? He also said that although he can’t do like big brother to protect the country, if he can let people live peacefully, that would be enough face to see you, to show you the efforts he made these years. But someone wants to rise to power and must step on his corpse to demonstrate their real authority."

Hua Hudie pursed her lips, looking so pained.

And her words pierced Qiao Chufeng’s heart like needles.

It must be said that Hua Hudie’s devotion had indeed greatly moved him.

Even though her tattooed arms disgusted him.

But that spirit, it was definitely not feigned.

"Enough, sister-in-law, you don’t have to say anymore, take care of their affairs for after their passing, and then take your nephew back to the provincial city, just peacefully raise him to adulthood."

Wiping away the tears at the corner of his eyes, Qiao Chufeng still did not mention avenging them.

This made Hua Hudie very anxious.

"Big brother, it’s not that I’m heartless and won’t go back, but I don’t know how to face the Qiao family parents, or how to face the grown-up Qiao family flesh and blood, how to explain their father and second uncle’s death. I also can’t face the spirits of Chushan and the second brother, so you should take him back. I want to stay here."

Hua Hudie took a deep breath.

She paused then continued, "Big brother, I know you look down on a woman like me, I can’t help it, who made me grow up in a family without a father’s care or a mother’s teaching. When I was young, I didn’t know better and got these scars on my body, but Chushan didn’t despise my background, or that I’m uneducated. He told me, everyone makes mistakes, and it’s okay as long as you correct them. But now, I only have one thing to do, that is, to avenge Chushan and the second brother, to let that ’Phoenix’ pay with blood, an eye for an eye!"

"Phoenix?"

It was the first time he heard this name, Qiao Chufeng lifted his head with furrowed brows.

"Yes, she’s now the biggest power in Jiangning. A few days ago, she annihilated the Three Elders Association, took over Jiantai Nightclub, and now has seized Golden Eagle Security, becoming an unrivaled elder sister. But while others fear her, I don’t. As long as I’m breathing, I’ll fight her to the end. I want to show them what it means for good to triumph over evil, even if I die in Jiantai Nightclub. I believe my son will avenge his father and mother!"

Gazing at the son in swaddling clothes, Hua Hudie spoke with a mixture of sorrow and determination.

Upon hearing these words, even the usually composed Qiao Chufeng was moved.

This was, after all, the last bloodline of the Qiao family; he couldn’t let him grow up bearing such a grudge.

"Sister-in-law, you don’t have to get involved with the Qiao family business, and the blood of the Qiao family won’t be shed in vain. Leave it to me to handle."

Having said that, Qiao Chufeng turned his head to look at the twenty or so personal guards standing there.

They were all valiant warriors he personally trained.

"I don’t care how powerful Phoenix is, go and bring her here. Remember, no one gets hurt, I want her alive!"

"Yes!"

Qiao Chufeng gave the order.

The personal guard who had long been holding back immediately stood up straight.

After saluting, they turned and walked outside.

Now with a destination and a target,

Capturing someone was a trivial matter for them.

Meanwhile, Qiao Chufeng still sat in his original spot.

His gaze was blank as he stared at the corpses of his two younger brothers.

Grief made him feel as though his blood was on fire.

"Big Brother... that Fenghuang is full of tricks and exceedingly cruel. Moreover, she has hundreds of men. With just these few people, can you bring her back? Don’t end up like Second Brother, losing the wife and the soldiers,"

Hua Hudie looked at Qiao Chufeng with some concern.

She had thought he would personally lead the mission.

But unexpectedly, he only arranged for his subordinates to execute it.

"Each of them is an elite capable of taking on a hundred by themselves. Don’t mention a small place like Jiangning, even in a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, they will be fine. In a moment, we’ll capture her, interrogate her thoroughly, and then hand her over to the local authorities. After dealing with this matter, you’ll come back to the provincial city with me. I’ve been in the military too long, unable to take care of home. It’s also time for you to find a place to settle down,"

Qiao Chufeng didn’t take Fenghuang seriously at all.

After all, Jiangning was too small.

So small that he simply didn’t care.

"I’ll follow Big Brother’s arrangements."

Although Hua Hudie said this, her heart definitely thought otherwise.

After all, once Fenghuang was removed, a power vacuum would be created.

She would certainly use Qiao Chushan’s old forces to counterattack.

But once the person was captured, she could not allow her to talk too much.

She must find a way to silence her.

Otherwise, if there were any slip-ups, it would cause trouble.

Thinking this, she couldn’t help but touch the dagger in her swaddle.

This was the thing that would seal Fenghuang’s fate.

After all, with this child here, even if Qiao Chufeng was incorruptible,

he would definitely not let anything happen to her.

After all, if she ended up in prison, not only would the Qiao family lose face,

but the child’s upbringing would also be problematic.

...

Inside the Jiantai Nightclub.

It was chaos.

The original hundred or so subordinates,

facing over twenty well-trained martial artists,

were almost instantly knocked to the ground.

Their bravery and lightning-fast speed

caught Fenghuang off guard.

After knocking down two people, she too was pressed to the floor.

"Who exactly are you people?"

Lu Feifei, with her limbs bound, glared angrily at the group of people before her,

while her mind raced to think of a way out.

"Daring to lay hands on our counselor’s brother, you should have known this day would come. If you know what’s good for you, stop the nonsense. While the counselor requested you alive, having a few more holes in your body is not unacceptable,"

said the lead adjutant coldly.

Upon hearing this message, Fenghuang was immediately shocked.

She had calculated every possibility but never anticipated that Qiao Chufeng would actually come,

and come so secretly, so quickly.

"It’s over, this time I’m truly done for."

The appearance of the military bigwig left Fenghuang feeling utterly despondent.

After all, across Jiangning,

there was no one who could save her.
