My wife who comes from a wealthy family-Chapter 23 - 24 Su Yueli is Kidnapped
Chapter 23: Chapter 24 Su Yueli is Kidnapped
Night.
The autumn rain was continuous, bringing with it seventy percent coldness and thirty percent murderous intent.
The Su family.
"Grandpa, you’ve just recovered from a serious illness, please rest early. I’ll take care of grandma," Su Yueli said softly.
Old Master Su looked around at the already sleeping members of the Su family, sighed at Su Yueli, and said, "Your grandmother has always undervalued you, yet you still have this filial piety. Yueli, you truly are a good child."
Just then, a Su family scout suddenly ran in from outside, his body covered with fresh blood.
"Old Master, it’s, it’s bad news!"
"Why the panic? What happened to the blood all over you?" Old Master Su asked.
"Xu, people from the Xu family have come to kill us!" The Su family scout said before collapsing to the ground.
What?
Upon hearing this, Old Master Su stood up abruptly.
"Old Su, long time no see, how have you been lately?" Xu Wu came forward, his face wearing a smirk that wasn’t quite a smile.
"Xu Wu, what are you doing here in the middle of the night?" Old Master Su asked sternly.
"What am I doing? Haha, I’m naturally here to annihilate your entire Su family!" Xu Wu sneered.
Whoosh!
A single stone stirs up a thousand ripples!
The previously sleeping members of the Su family all opened their eyes, and upon seeing Xu Wu, they began to tremble with fear.
"My God, it’s the head of the Xu family!"
"He must be here for revenge!"
"We’re doomed!"
Old Master Su’s face was ice-cold as he said, "Xu Wu, my Su family has no quarrel with your Xu family. Have you considered the consequences of what you’re doing?"
"No quarrel? My son died at the hands of your precious son-in-law. As for consequences, what consequences are there to exterminating a second-rate family like your Su family?" Xu Wu scoffed.
Boom!
The room was filled with shock!
"What? The eldest son of the Xu family actually died at the hands of Ye Wudao!"
"This is terrifying!"
Old Lady Su, lying on the sickbed, burst into angry tears and said, "It’s all because of that disaster star Ye Wudao; he led our Su family to its death!"
"We beg for mercy!"
"Master Xu, please spare us... " Many of the weak-willed Su family members knelt down and pleaded for mercy.
"A bunch of cowards afraid of death!" Old Master Su berated and then stared at Xu Wu, saying, "Dead men cannot be brought back to life. If you wish to take your rage out on my Su family, let me alone bear it!"
"Well said!" Xu Wu revealed an approving look but then laughed and said, "However, before I exterminate your Su family, I’ll let you witness a joyous and wonderful event."
"Oh?" Old Master Su was puzzled.
Xu Wu suddenly pointed at Su Yueli in front of him and coldly sneered, "I want to conduct a ghost marriage between your granddaughter—Su Yueli and my son!"
Boom!
The scene explodes!
"A ghost marriage, isn’t that too malicious!"
"It must be Xu Wu wanting to fulfill his son’s wishes!"
Su Yueli’s pretty face turned deathly pale as she staggered back, "Grandpa..."
"Li’er, do not fear. With grandfather here, nothing will happen!" Old Master Su stood in front of Su Yueli and said coldly, "Xu Wu, I dare you to try!"
"Haha, old man Su, do you really think you’re still the ferocious tiger of Jiangnan from the old days? Falling from the realm of Dark Strength must have been hard for you!" Xu Wu mocked.
Three years ago, the Su family, ranked alongside the Xu family as a first-rate family, owed its status to Old Master Su, a Dark Strength martial artist who was the equal of the Xu family’s head!
"Xu Wu, you alone probably can’t manage to wipe out the entire Su family!" Old Master Su spoke up loudly.
Swoosh!
Swoosh, swoosh!
Just then, thirty high-level Xu family martial artists appeared, all of them Innate martial artists, and even including some Innate masters among them.
"Old Su, is this enough for you now?" Xu Wu taunted.
The color drained from Old Master Su’s face. Even in his prime, he wouldn’t have dared to claim that he could defeat so many from the Xu family.
And now that his realm had plummeted to the late stage of Innate, even if he could briefly erupt with the power of an Innate peak talent, it would be certain death to fight against so many from the Xu family!
This battle was guaranteed to end in the Su family’s defeat!
"Kill all of the Su family, spare no one except for Su Yueli!" Xu Wu ordered.
"Yes!" the Xu family’s martial artists nodded.
Xu Wu stood with his hands behind his back, threw a dagger at Old Master Su’s feet, and said, "Su Tiesheng, I respect you as a former Dark Strength martial artist. Take your own life!"
"Xu Wu, even if I have to sacrifice my life, I will make you pay the price!" Old Master Su roared and threw a punch.
The great battle was about to begin.
...
The next day, dawn tore through the night’s curtain.
Ye Wudao stretched lazily, opened the window, and breathed in the fresh air.
Just then, hurried footsteps approached; "Mr. Ye, something terrible has happened!"
"Ye brother, there’s been trouble!"
The two Xu sisters arrived, running in their nightgowns, their faces filled with panic.
"What’s wrong?" Ye Wudao asked curiously.
"The Su family was struck by a fire last night, and it was said to have caused severe casualties!" Xu Yuanyuan said in shock.
"I’ve been trying to contact Yueli all this time, but I can’t get through!" Xu Mengmeng said.
Boom!
Ye Wudao turned pale as if struck by lightning upon hearing this.
A fire at the Su family?
How could the Su family have a fire out of nowhere?
No, something’s not right here!
"I need to go to the Su family!" Ye Wudao turned and bolted out the door.
"We’ll go with you!" the two Xu sisters said.
"Alright."
Half an hour later.
"My God, is this still the Su family?"
"This is terrible." The two Xu sisters stared at the scene before them, too shocked to speak.
Ye Wudao’s gaze was fixed on the Su family before him, a scorched earth, a mess all around, sporadic flames still flickering, like a battlefield.
"Wife, wife..." Ye Wudao shouted frantically as he arrived at the main hall of the Su family.
In front of the main hall, a bloodied old man sat in a chair, overwhelmed by a sense of impending doom.
"Old Master Su!" Ye Wudao called out.
"What’s wrong with Grandpa Su?" asked the two Xu women, concerned.
The bloodied Old Master Su raised his head, and struggling to get up with tears in his cloudy eyes, said, "I’m sorry, I failed to protect Yueli properly!"
Having said that, Old Master Su collapsed.
