Volume 1, Chapter 56: Xie Feng and His Son Completely Breakdown
Liu Dafei and Datou were startled and shouted outwards, "Move aside, move aside!"
"Get the hell out here for me!"
Xie Feng smashed heavily against the car window with a roadside stone, and it looked like it was about to shatter.
"Drive, fast!" Liu Dafei shouted to Datou.
Datou panicked slightly, stepped hard on the accelerator, and the car shot forward like an arrow released from a bow, crashing squarely into Xie Yong who was standing ahead.
"Ah!"
Xie Yong was sent flying by the impact and crashed heavily onto the ground.
"Dad!"
Xie Feng rushed over anxiously to check on Xie Yong's injuries.
He found that although Xie Yong had been sent flying, his life was not in danger; it was just that one of his legs appeared to be broken.
Taking advantage of the opening, Datou sped away in the car.
Right at that moment, however, one of Xie Feng's companions drove out from the side, crashing directly into the car Datou was driving.
Crash!
With a loud bang, Datou's unprepared vehicle was flipped completely over.
Dazed and disoriented, Liu Dafei and Datou scrambled out through the smashed car windows.
Xie Feng and the others rushed forward and pinned the two men to the ground.
"Damn it, run again now!" Xie Feng gritted his teeth.
Limping over, Xie Yong delivered a fierce slap across Liu Dafei's face.
"You scoundrel, you take my money and fail to do the job, and you even wanted to run. Do you really think you could get away?" Xie Yong demanded.
Liu Dafei retorted, "You asked me to kill such a terrifying monster and only gave me five million? Do you take me for a complete fool?"
"What terrifying monster?" Xie Yong and Xie Feng both stared blankly.
Liu Dafei said, "Don't play dumb with me. Is that Zhou扬 guy anything like an ordinary person?"
Furious, Xie Yong cursed, "Liu Dafei, oh Liu Dafei! You damn well couldn't handle the task, and instead you come up with these bizarre excuses. Is this your reason for pocketing the cash and running?"
Gritting his teeth, Liu Dafei said, "You don't believe me? Let me tell you, my brothers and I crossed paths with Zhou扬, and we are no match for him. For a target of this level, five million is nowhere near enough!"
Xie Feng said, "Zhou扬 can certainly fight, I'll admit that, but aren't you exaggerating like hell? His abilities only go so far. Isn't this just you making excuses for yourself?"
Seeing that the father and son refused to believe him, Liu Dafei blurted out in anger, "If Zhou扬 only had that little skill, your mother wouldn't have been ridden underneath him!"
"What the hell did you just say?" Xie Feng grabbed Liu Dafei by the collar and roared.
Liu Dafei motioned for Datou to take out his phone. "Show him."
Datou opened the video recording on his phone and handed it to Xie Feng.
Xie Feng and Xie Yong crowded around, and several of their companions also leaned in to take a look.
The video began with heart-pounding sounds emanating from Zhou扬's room, accompanied by the creaking and shaking of a bed.
Xie Yong and Xie Feng instantly grew tense.
Then Datou fast-forwarded. Suddenly, the door opened, and Tang Yumei's fair and sexy figure appeared in the doorway, wearing only a T-shirt on her upper body and pulling up her trousers as she walked.
At that moment, Xie Yong and Xie Feng felt as though their minds were about to explode.
Xie Feng, in particular.
Seeing with his own eyes his mother walking out of Zhou扬's room without her pants on, the anger and humiliation in his heart swelled like a vast ocean.
Several companions standing nearby exchanged glances and slipped off to the side, covering their mouths to stifle their laughter.
"You think that's the end of it? There's more!" Datou, seemingly relishing the moment, continued to fast-forward.
The footage showed Tang Yumei heading to the bathroom to wash up briefly before returning to Zhou扬's room.
After that, the two of them engaged once again.
Having tasted forbidden fruit for the first time, both of them were much less inhibited, and the sounds were even louder.
Moreover, this time, the door wasn't even closed.
Xie Feng and Xie Yong watched with their own eyes as the two figures entangled. Xie Yong's blood pressure skyrocketed, and a wave of dizziness washed over him.
That was his wife, a woman he had married all those years ago yet never truly enjoyed.
Even Xie Feng's birth had been the result of artificial insemination.
And yet, she was pinned beneath Zhou扬.
Meanwhile, Xie Feng felt as though his blood vessels were about to burst.
Previously, in front of Zhou扬, he could still walk tall and say loftily, "I once stole your girlfriend, and you are my defeated foe."
But now, Zhou扬 had pulled off an even more explosive move, effectively becoming his father.
At that moment, Xie Feng felt even more pathetic and humiliated than a clown.
Yet Datou, acting as though he hadn't had his fill yet, continued, "You think that's all? There's more!"
He fast-forwarded further, playing the footage of Zhou扬 and Tang Yumei captured on the sofa.
That soft leather sofa was rocked back and forth violently by the pair, nearly tipping over.
This imagery struck deep into Xie Feng's soul.
He would probably never be able to erase this shadow for the rest of his life.
Just then, an increasing number of onlookers gathered by the roadside to watch the commotion from the car crash.
Zhou扬 and Tang Yumei also walked out, seeing as the incident had occurred on the street right outside their home, not far away.
When Xie Feng and Xie Yong laid eyes on Tang Yumei and Zhou扬 once again, that wave of anger and humiliation surged like a monstrous tidal wave, impossible to describe.
"Tang Yumei, look at the fine mess you've made!" Xie Yong roared.
Tang Yumei was stunned. "What did I do?"
Trembling, Xie Yong pointed an accusing arm at Zhou扬. "Did you... did you sleep with him last night?"
Xie Feng also said through painful, clenched teeth, "And it was three times."
Datou chimed in from the side, "Each time was over half an hour, and the last round seemed to be nearly an hour."
Tang Yumei's face flushed crimson instantly.
The people around them had no idea what was going on. What sleeping together? Who slept with whom?
"You were spying on me?" Tang Yumei asked coldly.
Realizing that her affair with Zhou扬 was already out in the open, she decided to stop hiding it and said openly and boldly, "That's right, Zhou and I are together. So what?"
"You... you shameless woman!" Xie Yong shouted furiously.
Tang Yumei sneered, "My conduct is upright and honest; what right do you have to call me shameless? You and I are already divorced, and I am single now. Is it a crime to date and make friends? Does it violate morality?"
Tang Yumei's words were entirely justified, leaving Xie Yong grinding his teeth in frustration and utterly speechless.
Xie Feng said, "Tang Yumei, I won't stop you from finding a boyfriend, but why him? Don't you know? He got close to you just to get back at me!"
Tang Yumei took a deep breath, smiled bitterly, and shook her head. "If you weren't my son, I'd really want to slap you. From beginning to end, what did my blind devotion to you ever get me? Did it get you to help secretly spy on me?"
"If you hadn't done something shameful, why would I have spied on you?!" Xie Feng argued unreasonably.
"Fine!" Tang Yumei's eyes turned red, her teeth clenched tightly as she sneered, "Fine! I've disgraced you, haven't I? Well, I happen to like Zhou扬! I like that he's young and handsome, I like his good personality, I like everything about him! Whom I choose to date is none of your business! If you insist on feeling humiliated by a mother like me, then starting today, our mother-son relationship is completely severed!"
Hearing that Tang Yumei wanted to cut ties, Xie Feng was terrified in an instant.
He wasn't afraid of anything else; he was afraid of his funding chain breaking.
After all, when it came to background and strength, his father Xie Yong was no match for his mother Tang Yumei—they were worlds apart, trailing behind by miles.
Everything Xie Yong possessed today had been entirely supported and built up by Tang Yumei's family.
Without this powerful mother, Xie Feng had no idea what his future would look like!
"Mom, don't be angry, I didn't mean that!" Xie Feng blurted out anxiously.
"Xiaofeng? She's behaved like this, and you're still calling her Mom?" Xie Yong asked defensively from the side.
"How have I behaved?" Tang Yumei retorted. "Did I go out and find a mistress while I was married? Did I buy a house for a lover? Did I hand over the reins of a company to a kept man?"
Everything Tang Yumei mentioned was precisely what Xie Yong had done during their marriage.
This left Xie Yong choking on his words, completely unable to refute her.
Tang Yumei suddenly demanded, "How did you two find out about me and Zhou扬? Things that happened last night, and you knew about them today—is there still surveillance inside my villa?"
Tang Yumei's question broke Xie Yong and Xie Feng out in a cold sweat.
With so many onlookers present right now, if it came out that they had hired someone to commit murder, things would blow up into a massive scandal.
"I'm sorry, I installed the cameras," Xie Yong confessed, hanging his head.
He figured that at the very least, admitting to this would keep the worse secrets safe.
However, Tang Yumei refused to let the matter rest. "Where are the cameras? Come on, take me to see them."
