There are three entrances to the underground passage: one inside the house, one in the front yard, and one in the backyard.
This greatly increases the chances of escape.
Even without the underground passage, they had secretly mobilized a significant number of people. If Feng Yue truly intended to go down with them, their people would take control of Mr. Du and his men, ensuring they had no chance to pour gasoline and start a fire.
No matter how capable Mr. Du is, he’s no match for the Five Emperors who once dominated the martial world decades ago. Although they have retired now, their disciples are influential figures in various industries, with networks spanning major cities.
They were simply letting Feng Yue enjoy her moment of false triumph, making her believe her scheme could succeed.
“Yes, not only was she waiting there, but she also prevented us from paying respects to my mother. How shameless of her to face my mother! If my mother knew how cold-blooded and heartless she is, she would have preferred raising a dog over her—what a白眼狼 (ungrateful wretch)!”
Mrs. Shang harbored deep hatred for the head of the Feng family.
Her once happy family had been torn apart by the Feng family head.
She lost both her parents at a young age and was separated from her only sibling. When she finally got news of her sister, it was already too late—they were separated by life and death.
All this tragedy was caused by Feng Yue.
Feng Yue destroyed her family, yet she lived a carefree life. Although Feng Yue married a man she didn’t love, she had four children. Setting aside the issue of her daughter being swapped, Feng Yue actually lived quite comfortably.
Feng Yue’s comfort was built on the ruins of Mrs. Shang’s family.
How could Mrs. Shang not feel resentment and hatred?
Even the swapping of her daughter turned out to be a blessing in disguise for Feng Yue.
Feng Qing doesn’t share Feng Yue’s heart and wouldn’t collaborate with her. If the grievances of the previous generation aren’t passed down to the next, even if Feng Yue dies, Feng Qing can still live.
Feng Qing is capable on her own, and with the support of Fang Yao by her side, she could live well even if she left the Feng family and Jiangcheng.
Mrs. Shang, despite her hatred for Feng Yue, didn’t take it out on Feng Qing.
Feng Qing had already made it clear that if the position of family head wasn’t hers, she wouldn’t fight for it.
Judging by Feng Qing’s actions, she meant what she said.
At least when Feng Yue tried to harm Hai Ling, Feng Qing promptly informed Hai Ling, thwarting Feng Yue’s scheme.
“Didn’t Aunt teach her a lesson?”
Hai Ling was also filled with anger.
She regretted not learning martial arts earlier, so she couldn’t physically punish the wrongdoers.
If she had learned martial arts like Tongtong, she could not only beat up the bad guys but also have the ability to protect herself.
She wouldn’t need bodyguards around her all the time.
“Aunt didn’t take action, but Dr. Cheng did. Hai Ling, Dr. Cheng is amazing. Thank goodness we have no grudges with her. We really mustn’t offend her. If we can’t be friends with her, at least don’t make her an enemy. Otherwise, you’ll never know how you might die.”
Dr. Cheng Lingling’s display of skill not only intimidated Feng Yue and her people but also left Mrs. Shang and her husband in awe.
Hai Ling said, “Dr. Cheng is the fourth daughter-in-law of the Jun family. The Jun family has connections with the Zhan family. Their eldest daughter-in-law is good friends with Tongtong. Now, Yangyang and Longting are also playmates, meeting several times a year and maintaining contact. At least for the next generation, the relationship between the two families is quite good.”
“With this connection, how could we possibly offend Dr. Cheng?”
Even without this connection, knowing that Dr. Cheng Lingling is a highly skilled doctor, no one would easily provoke her.
