119: Zhang Yun's tragic story

Just at this moment, the Guards wore grim expressions. "Go, leave quickly. We must report this matter back."

The young man before them was clearly no match for them.

If they continued to delay, the Guards would have no other options.

Thus, it would be better for the Guards to leave first and make other plans.

As long as Gao Yuan was unharmed, the Gao Family would not blame them.

"Let's go!" the Guards shouted, and their order was immediately followed.

Subsequently, the Guards left the hall one after another, not daring to show the slightest hesitation.

Watching this scene, Zhang Yun gasped, knowing he had been saved.

This was for the best.

"Thank you, thank you, sir." Zhang Yun slowly opened his eyes.

Just a moment ago, Zhang Yun had been on the verge of fainting, but relying on a sliver of willpower, he had managed to stay conscious.

Li Changfeng did not want to linger here any longer.

"Let's go." Li Changfeng gently helped Zhang Yun up, and the two of them headed toward the seats.

"Sir, we should leave quickly. Otherwise, the Gao Family will not let us off," Zhang Yun said, feeling worried.

Having provoked the Gao Family today, he likely wouldn't be able to stay in Yizhou anymore.

Zhang Yun needed to make some plans early.

"Rest assured, I am not afraid of the Gao Family. I still need to obtain the Seven-Colored Powder." Li Changfeng's expression darkened, and he wore a serious look.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yun nodded forcefully; there was no other choice.

Just then, Zhang Yun gasped, feeling a sense of helplessness.

If there were any other way, he wouldn't be in this situation!

"Young Master, can you help me with one thing!" Zhang Yun raised his head, pleading bitterly.

"Speak," Li Changfeng nodded.

Since things had already reached this point, he might as well see it through to the end.

If Zhang Yun had other requests, he could help.

"Help me kill Gao Yuan! Before you leave, please help me kill him." A cold glint erupted in Zhang Yun's eyes.

After hearing this, Li Changfeng was stunned for a moment.

Subsequently, Li Changfeng's gaze sharpened, and he stared fixedly at Zhang Yun, realizing that he did not seem to be joking.

"Why do you want to kill him?" Li Changfeng asked, puzzled.

Li Changfeng felt that this fellow Zhang Yun was hiding many things.

Perhaps there was much more to Zhang Yun's background than it seemed; there might be other matters at play.

"He is not human; he is a beast!" Zhang Yun clenched his fists tightly and gritted his teeth, as if using this method to vent the rage in his heart.

Seeing that Zhang Yun's complexion was off, Li Changfeng did not say much.

Subsequently, Li Changfeng helped Zhang Yun sit down.

After a long while, Li Changfeng slowly asked, "Zhang Yun, let me ask you, what exactly happened between you and the Gao Family?"

There must be something else about Zhang Yun.

Otherwise, Zhang Yun would not have such deep hatred for the Gao Family.

Li Changfeng wondered if he was right or wrong to get involved in this.

"Sigh." Zhang Yun let out a long sigh, his expression looking quite unpleasant.

Zhang Yun kept his head lowered, appearing as if he were deep in thought.

After a long while, Zhang Yun let out a breath.

"Actually, sir, that Gao Yuan's first target was my wife." When Zhang Yun reached this point, his face looked terrible.

Just then, Nan Qingyue quietly followed over, her face grim.

"What exactly happened!" Nan Qingyue asked curiously.

Zhang Yun looked around, and only when he realized there was no one else around was he willing to speak.

After all, having one's wife run off with someone else was a shameful matter.

Who would be willing to talk about it?

"My wife, A Hua, is in her prime at sixteen, and our relationship was quite good." When Zhang Yun reached this point, he shook his head helplessly.

"Wait, your wife is sixteen?" Li Changfeng was slightly stunned; he simply couldn't believe it.

This Zhang Yun looked like he was in his thirties.

How could his wife be only sixteen?

This was simply an old ox eating tender grass!

"That's right! Oh, it's like this: A Hua's father owed me money, so he gave his daughter to me.

I treated A Hua well, so I took her as my wife," Zhang Yun explained.

Nan Qingyue gasped.

In this world, it was common for a daughter to repay her father's debts, but this A Hua's father was truly infuriating.

"Actually, although there was an age gap, our relationship was very good.

However, later, at the temple fair, A Hua met Gao Yuan.

Then everything changed; A Hua, she got together with Gao Yuan!" Zhang Yun's face darkened, and he clenched his fists tightly.

Facing such a thing, who could endure it?

Li Changfeng frowned; he had some thoughts.

Zhang Yun was indeed a bit old, and having such a young wife made it inevitable that such things might happen.

"Then what happened at the temple fair?" Nan Qingyue asked curiously.

Although A Hua was a young woman, she was at least someone who kept herself chaste.

Why would she do such a shameful thing?

Could it be that Zhang Yun was unable to satisfy A Hua in some aspect?

So, A Hua had to look for someone else?

But thinking this was too absurd.

"Sigh, it's a long story. A Hua met Gao Yuan, but who would have thought that A Hua would be bewitched and commit adultery with Gao Yuan!"

Zhang Yun was so angry his face turned blue, and he clenched his fists tightly, the rage in his heart instantly ignited.

Just then, Li Changfeng gasped, trying his best to calm himself down.

After a long while, Nan Qingyue sighed, standing to the side without saying a word.

"Then how did you find out?" Li Changfeng asked again.

"That is also a long story. Not long ago, I discovered that A Hua often went to the temple fair, though I actually knew that A Hua was not someone who liked to go to the temple fair."

Zhang Yun's expression turned grim.

"One time, I quietly followed A Hua to the temple fair, and the result was that I discovered..."

"A Hua and Gao Yuan went to an inn together, and it wasn't until the next day that they came out."

"When A Hua returned, she told me that she had been playing too late at the temple fair, so she stayed for the night."

Recounting these past events, Zhang Yun was extremely pained.

If there were any other way, he wouldn't...

Li Changfeng slowly approached, stood beside Zhang Yun, reached out, and gently patted Zhang Yun's shoulder.

Thus, this Zhang Yun was also a pitiful person.

"Then didn't you tear off the mask?" Nan Qingyue asked.

"A Hua has already left. After I brought this matter up, she left me."

Zhang Yun sighed, "Now I don't even know where A Hua is."

Zhang Yun's eyes were vacant, having lost their luster.

It seemed that Zhang Yun had lost hope in life.
