BZZZ... BZZZ... BZZZ...
The ringing in Cheng Chuming's head was deafening. His legs buckled, and he nearly collapsed. And then...
He violently coughed up a mouthful of blood.
But Cheng Weishan remained completely unmoved, continuing to apply pressure.
"I will kill your son, and I will be completely obedient to your daughter and her Life-taking Bone."
"Or, you poison Cheng Yunsu and her companion. That will give me something to report to the City Lord's Mansion, so they'll stop taking their anger out on our Cheng Mansion."
"Your son on one side, your daughter on the other. Make your choice."
His eyes bloodshot, Cheng Chuming glared at Cheng Weishan...
"Father, Yunsu is Master Fan's student now. Why do you still refuse to see reason?"
'I don't get it,' he thought. 'Why is Father still thinking about sucking up to the City Lord's Mansion? Why does he still want to kill Yunsu?'
'Shouldn't we be trying to get on Lu Chao's good side and bury the hatchet?'
Pfft...
