A hint of resentment appeared on Yun Qing’s face as she clenched her teeth. “A worse beast than his father!"As they were speaking, Ji Ming had already raised his hand to knock at the door: "Tingting,...Chapter 638: A Heart Bent on Revenge - Wuyou Chinese Network

In the main hall of the Sun Family's grand mansion.

"Cough... cough..." Sun Bowen had a violent fit of coughing and could hardly straighten his body.

After several minutes, Sun Bowen finally recovered from his coughing fit, but he still managed to stand upright. However, his eyes were filled with sorrow because there was a corpse right before him.

This was his younger brother, the only one of his siblings, and this generation of the Sun Family wasn't flourishing, so both he and his younger brother had been highly expected by the family.

His grandfather had once hoped that he would choose literature over martial arts, thus naming him Bo Wen. In the end, although he did go into literature as expected, he didn't abandon martial arts either, because there weren't many in his family suitable for practicing martial arts, and he happened to be one of them.

Over these years, his career had always been smooth sailing, with nothing significant happening within the entire clan. Though they hadn’t seen rapid development, they were still able to maintain their position as the third most influential family in the capital city, right below the Zhao and Li families. Originally, if everything went according to plan, after the disappearance of the Li Family, the Sun Family should have taken over its place, becoming the second most powerful family in the capital city, just beneath the Zhao Family.

However, things didn't turn out as he had hoped. Due to a single incident—attacking Tian Group's Mei Er—the Sun Family suffered an unprecedented blow!

The Sun Bo Wen and Mei Er did not have any grudges between them, so initially, he didn’t want to ambush her nor did he have any motive to do so. However, since they also had no rapport, when Li Mingguang caught him in a compromising situation and obtained evidence of something from his past that could send him to military prison, Sun Bo Wen hesitated little before deciding to cooperate with Li Mingguang and try to lead Mei Er to her doom.

However, Mei Er didn't die. When he found out that she was still alive, he knew that the Sun Family would be in trouble. But at that time, he did not think this problem would be significant. In fact, later events proved that Mei Er couldn’t do much to him; as long as he denied it all, she could only eat a silent loss.

However, many things in the world do not develop as expected. Sun Bowen had considered various possibilities, even including being expelled from the group. The facts indeed showed that Mei'er really wanted to kick him out of the group, but he overlooked someone—Summer.

It was normal for him not to consider Summer because originally there should have been no connection between Mei'er and Summer. In his opinion, compared to Summer, Mei'er was actually more familiar with him; they could be considered colleagues. Just like when he was attacked by Summer in Jianghai City, Mei'er had even stepped in to help him. Therefore, he did not think that ambushing Mei'er would have any connection to Summer.

But the reality was far from what he imagined. Not only were Mei'er and Summer not just ordinary acquaintances but rather very close friends; because of his ambush on Mei'er, Summer decisively crippled his martial arts abilities and even did something sinister to him. Although it had been merely a few days, he could clearly feel his body growing weaker each day. Among the dozen people accompanying him, some were already bedridden while others were hospitalized for observation. Though there was no evidence of this, he knew that Summer had used her miraculous medical skills to secretly sabotage them.

"Summer, you've gone too far!" Sun Bowen gritted his teeth in anger and said inwardly. He merely made a single mistake; even if it were exposed back then, it wouldn't have cost him his life. At most, he would have spent two or three years in military prison and possibly couldn’t return to the group afterward. Given his background, once out of prison, he could still live an unrestrained lifestyle.

But now, because of this mistake, he had to risk not only his own life but also those of more than ten loyal subordinates. For the sake of the bigger picture, he could only endure it; even his father and grandfather urged him to do so. However, when he saw his younger brother's corpse, all anger boiled over. He wouldn't put up with this anymore—he wanted Summer to pay a bloody price!

"Bocai, I know you went to the execution ground for me. So, I will take justice into my own hands for you! Xia Tian and Mu Han will pay the price for what they’ve done!" Sun Bowen stared at his dead brother, then swore silently in his heart. After that, he turned around and walked out of the room.

As soon as he stepped out of the hall, a middle-aged man came face-to-face with him.

"Bowen, what do you plan to do" The middle-aged man was none other than Sun Bowen’s father, Sun Zhengming.

"Dad, I can't let Bocai's death be in vain," Sun Bowen didn’t hide his intentions or the grief and rage in his eyes.

"Bowen, leave revenge to me. You just take care of yourself." Sun Zhengming said in a solemn voice.

Sun Bowen shook his head: "Dad, my health can't be restored. If Xia Tian wants me dead this summer, I won't survive."

"Bowen, don't think too much. It's just one summer! He is a man, not a god!" Sun Zhengming forcibly suppressed the grief and anger in his heart, comforting Sun Bowen. He had already lost one son; he couldn't afford to lose another.

Sun Bowen shook his head again with determination: "Dad, actually I was going to discuss this matter with you. My condition is very clear to me; every day I become weaker. I know that I can't make it through this time. This disaster was caused by me, so let me deal with it."

"Bowen, you are no match for Xia Tian. How do you plan on dealing with him alone" Sun Zhengming smiled bitterly. "Just listen to me. As long as you live, there is still hope. We will find the best doctor to cure your illness. Do you really want me to watch helplessly as you throw yourself into danger and die"

"Dad, I've made this decision after careful consideration. Don't let the family get involved in this matter; let me handle it alone. Only then will I not drag our family down when I take my revenge. Even if I fail, only one life is lost—mine. As someone who was destined to die anyway, pulling Xia Tian and Mu Han along with me before I die would be worth it." Sun Bowen seemed extremely resolute. "That's right; in terms of strength, whether you consider that my martial arts were stripped from me or even if I were at the peak of my powers, I wouldn't stand a chance against Xia Tian. But on this earth, what is most deadly isn’t power—it’s intelligence!"

"Bowen, are you really set on this" Sun Zhengming's expression was somewhat mournful; in an instant, he seemed to have aged by decades.

"Dad, if I can survive, I wouldn't wish for death. Don’t worry, I’m going to see a person who might save my life. In any case, go tell Grandpa and the rest of the family not to do anything; leave this matter to me alone. I don’t want to牽累the entire family because of my own mistake." Sun Bowen nodded slowly, clearly having already made up his mind.

Sun Zhengming opened his mouth wanting to say something more, but seeing Sun Bowen's pale face, which was filled with determination and resolve, left him speechless. He could only nod slowly as tears flowed involuntarily down his cheeks.

"Dad, I’m leaving now; take care of yourself." Sun Bowen’s voice was somewhat strained. After saying this, he strode away without looking back, disappearing from Sun Zhengming’s sight. Duoduo: "What's going on Dr. Xia said you're ill and even said you might die!""He’s not saying for the first time that I’m going to die. When we met for the first time in Jianghai City, he also told...
