"Begging for mercy?"

Ji Feng was slightly taken aback as his thoughts raced. Suddenly, something flashed through his mind. He frowned and blurted out, "It's you?!"

Ji Feng frowned, he finally remembered who this person was.

Or more accurately, he had guessed the ident.i.ty of the person in front of him!

However, he felt that this person looked familiar - to someone he had never met before, there was only one possibility!

… …. He looked like someone, and that person was someone Ji Feng knew!

However, Ji Feng could not immediately recall who this person looked like, so he was very puzzled in his heart.

However, when the middle-aged man in front of him said he wanted to plead with him, Ji Feng's heart suddenly skipped a beat. He immediately remembered who this person was!

— w.a.n.g Wenggao!

This was something Ji Feng was instantly certain of!

This middle-aged man was none other than the Qiao Family's son-in-law, Qiao Rong's husband, and also Qiao Jiakai's father, w.a.n.g Wengao!

Without a doubt, this man was w.a.n.g Wengao!

Ji Feng frowned as he carefully observed w.a.n.g Wengao. This man was at least 50 to 60% alike to Qiao Jiakai. This was probably the reason why he found w.a.n.g Wengao so familiar.

And most importantly, w.a.n.g Wenggao was clearly more courageous and patient than Qiao Jiakai.

One must know that from the moment Qiao Rong was captured until now, even w.a.n.g Wengao had received the news. It was impossible for Qiao Jiakai to not know about it at all, yet, until now, he had not found the slightest trace of it. Instead, it was w.a.n.g Wengao who had come here to plead for leniency.

As for how to plead and who to plead, that was self-evident.

Just from this point alone, one could tell that w.a.n.g Wengao was someone important. From what Ji Feng knew, w.a.n.g Wengao was not treated well in the Qiao family.

w.a.n.g Wengao's position in the Qiao family was very low. It was said that even some of the younger generation members of the Qiao family could casually mock w.a.n.g Wengao. Some didn't even show the slightest hint of respect when talking to w.a.n.g Wengao, and some even said that one of Qiao Rong's nephews almost attacked w.a.n.g Wengao.

From this, it could be seen just what kind of status w.a.n.g Wengao had in the Qiao family!

If it wasn't for the protection of Joe Kai-kai, who knows how w.a.n.g Wengao would have been treated.

After that, w.a.n.g Wengao took the initiative to apply to work abroad. Everyone knew why, but it was obvious that he couldn't bear what happened at the Qiao family, so he had to go abroad.

However, one could imagine that with Qiao Rong's power, if she had that little bit of protection for w.a.n.g Wengao, the Qiao family wouldn't dare to treat him that way.

However, Qiao Rong did not do so!

Everyone knew that Qiao Rong's personality was harsh. It could be said that she was ungrateful and extremely sarcastic.

But under such circ.u.mstances, w.a.n.g Wengao had come!

He came to plead for Qiao Rong!

Honestly speaking, at this moment, even Ji Feng couldn't help but be moved. If this w.a.n.g Wengao wasn't deliberately putting on an act, then it was because he truly had a magnanimous, tolerant, and responsible personality!

At this moment, the entire Qiao family could be said to be in ruins. At this time, w.a.n.g Wengao stood up. No matter if he was doing it out of resignation or out of helplessness, this kind of action from him showed just how responsible he was!

This was because everyone knew that Qiao Rong had offended the Ji family at the cost of her life.

At this moment, no matter who stood out to plead on Qiao Rong's behalf, he would most likely be met with his own disgust and even intense revenge.

w.a.n.g Wengao wasn't an idiot. He obviously understood this logic, but he still came!

More importantly, w.a.n.g Wengao's son, Qiao Jiakai, had been seriously injured twice by him. Even though his life was in danger, and he couldn't be cured at home, he still had to be sent abroad for treatment.

How could w.a.n.g Wengao not hate his own son for being beaten up like this?

I'm afraid no one will be indifferent.

But even so, w.a.n.g Wengao still came. He had a gentle yet somewhat humble smile on his face as he came to beg his enemy!

What a character!

But, the more it was like this, the more vigilant Ji Feng became. w.a.n.g Wenggao's courage was, which meant that this person was a huge threat to him!

However, he couldn't do that right now. Not to mention that w.a.n.g Wengao had come here, there were definitely quite a few people who knew that if he made a move on w.a.n.g Wengao, it would give off a cruel and ruthless impression. In that case, there would probably be people who would sympathize with Qiao Rong, and even view the Ji family.

Although he was also very ruthless towards his enemies, he couldn't be so vicious right now. What's more, he didn't want to hit a smiling person. Now that w.a.n.g Wengao was in front of him, he wanted to hear what w.a.n.g Wengao had to say.

"Ji gongzi, I want to plead with you. I hope you can spare Qiao Rong's life!" Seeing Ji Feng furrow his brows and be extremely vigilant after recognizing him, w.a.n.g Wengao's heart slightly sank. It was obvious that Ji Feng harbored extremely strong enmity towards him.

Thus, w.a.n.g Wengao directly expressed his thoughts and purpose of coming here.

"Spare her?"

Ji Feng shook his head and said, "Mr. w.a.n.g, I think you found the wrong person. That's right, I do hate Qiao Rong very much, and I wish I could kill her myself, but I won't do that. "Since Qiao Rong broke the law, she will naturally be punished. Although I'm the person involved, I have no right to decide how to punish her!"

w.a.n.g Wengao sighed and said, "Ji gongzi, I know that what Qiao Rong did was really unforgivable, but I am her husband after all. As I see it, I can't just sit by and watch …" I also know that Young Master Ji definitely has a way to save her life, so no matter what, I beg of you to be magnanimous! "

Ji Feng frowned, "Your words... I'm afraid you think too highly of me! Mr. w.a.n.g, I have two questions, I hope you can help me solve them. "

"Firstly, do you really think that I can decide one's life and death at will?" Ji Feng frowned and asked, "Also, do you really know what your wife has done?"

"This …" w.a.n.g Wengao was immediately stumped.

Ji Feng shook his head and said, "Indeed, I do have some background. If I were to operate from a gray level, I could do things that ordinary people cannot. However, this does not include a casual pardon or the execution of others."

Ji Feng shook his head and added, "Also, the second question I asked just now, can you answer it with certainty?"

"... "Sorry, I can't!" w.a.n.g Wengao was silent for a moment before he finally shook his head.

"Frankly speaking, I really don't know much about what Qiao Rong did. A bitter smile flashed across w.a.n.g Wengao's face. Outsiders couldn't understand his relations.h.i.+p with Qiao Rong. He didn't even know what Qiao Rong did other than go against the Ji family.

However, from the meaning behind Ji Feng's words, Qiao Rong clearly had other problems and it must be very serious.

"Mr. w.a.n.g, go back. Don't waste your time here." Ji Feng replied, "What your wife has done is not as simple as you think. Of course, you can continue to rely on relations.h.i.+ps to plead for mercy, but I can't give you any help here!"

w.a.n.g Wengao was silent for a moment, then nodded: "... I see. "

Ji Feng did not reply.

Ji Feng wouldn't compromise with anyone on Qiao Rong's matter. He wouldn't force Qiao Rong to her death, but he definitely wouldn't just watch others show mercy and let Qiao Rong go.

If he let Qiao Rong go today, he might be blown to smithereens tomorrow!

More importantly, even if Ji Feng agreed to release Qiao Rong, he still wouldn't do anything. With Qiao Rong's relations.h.i.+p with the empire, the military and higher ups wouldn't let her off so easily!
