Chapter 316: Chapter 303: So cruel that even criticizing oneself

The more Fan Wenxuan thought about it, the more he believed it was best to come to an agreement sooner rather than later.

This serious mood of Fan Wenxuan gave Ning Feng a weighty feeling, with Fan’s expression and tone so earnest and intense, Ning Feng suddenly felt heavier.

From the moment Ning Feng met Fan Wenxuan, he had never seen him so serious and sincere.

Ning Feng had every reason to think that what Fan Wenxuan was talking about was a very important matter and with an extreme urgency.

“Yes, sir, I understand.”

Saying this, Ning Feng then turned and left.

While Fan Wenxuan was pacing around slowly with a smile on his face.

Once Chu Jinnian returned and Fan Wenxuan arranged for his new daughter in law, his mind would be free and he wouldn’t have to bear his constant stares.

After this, he could do anything he wanted without worrying about getting into any trouble, right? ƒгeewёbnovel.com

How clever, truly brilliant!

Fan Wenxuan laughed heartily again and again.

That night, under the moonlit willow branches, a cool breeze blew and birds fluttered their wings, flying up from the tree branches and disappearing into the endless night.

Just as the entire world was immersed in a deep sleep, everything was tranquil around it.

Suddenly, a “thump, thump” sound echoed, the sound wasn’t loud, but in the silent night, it seemed unusually harsh.

This noise woke up Feng Yongkang.

At first, he thought it was just the wind rustling the tree branches, but upon closer listening, the sound was rhythmic and remained consistent in volume.

Moreover, this sound resembled knocking on the door.

In the middle of the night…

Feng Yongkang furrowed his brow unwilling to get up, yet the noise continued, disturbing his sleep. The “thump thump” noise occupied his mind.

Unable to bear it anymore, Feng Yongkang got out of bed to investigate.

There indeed was wind blowing outside, but it was just a gentle breeze that couldn’t even stir the tree branches. This commotion was clearly not created by the wind.

Yet the noise seemed to be coming from the front door. Listening closely, it didn’t sound like knocking on the door but like something knocking on the ground.

The noise was steady, neither too fast nor too slow, but it was deep and dull that each thump felt like a strike on a heart, making it unbearable.

Squinting his eyes, he noticed a faint light peeking from the gap under the door.

After much pondering, Feng Yongkang finally gathered enough courage, lit a lantern and headed to the front door.

“Who’s outside?” Feng Yongkang asked tentatively.

The wind quickly blew his words away, yet his only response was the incessant “thumping.”

Feng Yongkang felt a sinking feeling within him, with one hand clutching the lantern and the other hand pulling at the door bolt, he unbolted the door.

As he opened the door and peered out in the lantern light, there was nothing outside the door and the “thump thump” sound had vanished into thin air. There was only a scared wildcat lying outside, which was startled by Feng Yongkang opening the door and the lantern light. The wildcat dashed off with a “whoosh” sound, jumped onto the wall and disappeared.

Could it be that the noise was created by the wildcat?

Feng Yongkang was uncertain, yet it seemed like the only plausible explanation at the time. So, he shut the door and bolted it again.

Before he had the chance to turn around and reenter his house, the low “thump thump” sound outside started echoing once again.

Turning around to see, the faint light seemed to have become brighter again.

Feng Yongkang crinkled his brow, with a sudden chill running down his spine again. Regardless, he mustered enough courage to unbolt the door once more to confront whatever was causing this.

Yet, as he opened the front door again, the noise disappeared. Outside, there was nothing but the boundless dark night.

Scared to peek outside, Feng Yongkang shut the door again gritting his teeth.

And then the noise started to echo again…

Moreover, the glimmering light outside was fading in and out, flitting around, offering a ghastly sight.

Could it be that some tainted thing was causing this?

Exactly, it surely was some sullied thing, otherwise how would the sound disappear when the door was open and resume when it was closed?

But why would this thing choose him?

Right, he remembers that today some of his mindless men took some money to teach Zhuang Qingning a lesson. And previous to this, Zhuang Qingning had dealt with supernatural forces and trapped ghosts. Could this be that Zhuang Qingning used some Taoist magic to teach him a lesson this time?

Or was this something serious like a talisman of some demonic spirit that was bound to haunt him, ensuring he would be devoid of vital energy for the rest of his life, making it impossible to find his footing again?

When Feng Yongkang thought of this, he felt his cold sweat trickling down his back and his legs feeling as if they were filled with lead. He was unable to move a step.

And in front of him, it seemed like there was a faint blur swaying back and forth, getting closer… and closer….

“Ahhh…!”

Feng Yongkang cried out abruptly, his eyes rolled back, and he fell back onto the ground.

“Master, Master…”

Mrs. Liu, who was awakened by the commotion outside and found Feng Yongkang missing from his bed, rushed out only to find him laying on the ground, unconscious. She screamed in panic.

But Feng Yongkang was passed out, and he could not be awakened, leaving Mrs. Liu no other choice but to call for help.

Instantly, the Feng’s house was thrown into chaos.

Meanwhile, three burly men were huddling in a corner, yawning as they watched the unfolding drama.

“Feng Yongkang sure has a small heart. Just a little scare and he’s reduced to this state. How shameful! With this behaviour, he still thinks about harming others. This is embarrassing.”

“Exactly, this is what you call a guilty conscience. He’s scared of the consequences after doing something wrong and ends up spooking himself. He’d be lucky not to die from the scare.”

“Isn’t that the truth? This is why one must never commit misdeeds. Sooner or later, retribution would catch up.”

As these words echoed, the other two looked at each other and sighed deeply before giving a thumbs up to the speaker.

The leader is the leader, he can be so ruthless, he even criticizes himself.

But if they were really being honest, it was the truth. Weren’t they, the three of them, in their current predicament because they always committed wrong acts, such as receiving money to do others’ dirty work, start fights, and had consequently walked into trouble themselves?

They were thrashed so badly that they didn’t look human anymore. And on top of that, they had to help some stranger take revenge. This was clear evidence that their bad karma was being paid off.

The three of them sighed together.

“Alright, enough with the sighs,” the leader interjected. “Whether you like it or not, at least we get to earn some silver for doing this. We are not doing free labour. Why the long faces?”

“When looked at it from the other perspective, we received money for this job, and it’s not a bad one at all. It’s like accumulating merit for ourselves. This is a good thing! Be energized, don’t sulk like you’ve lost ten taels of silver, wilting like an eggplant.”

“Let’s hurry and leave. If we stay any longer, someone from Feng Yongkang’s family might spot us….”
