The mont the fire ignited, the crowd that had already retreated quite far away scread again and moved even further back.
Then, they gathered in small groups to discuss.
Soone in the know said, "As for public opinion, Xu Chun is a relatively decent person. Unfortunately, the tiger father had a dog son; his son is truly a scoundrel."
"What do you an?" soone uninford asked curiously.
The inford person subtly revealed the misdeeds of Xu Qianyan, causing everyone around to seethe with anger.
This is just a matter of perspective, and from the indignant attitude of the onlookers, it's clear they are seeing things from the perspective of the victims' parents.
In fact, if those rich people were Xu Chun, they might act even worse, but since it didn't happen to them, there's no need to worry unnecessarily.
As the crowd retreated, those lying in wait on the rooftop, ready for action, prepared to break in.
They naturally knew the situation inside was dangerous and that entering might very well be a one-way trip.
But as long as it wasn't confird that the people inside were dead, there was no reason not to attempt a rescue.
"Don't go in!" Xiao Feng shouted loudly.
He had seen with his own eyes the gasoline filling the room, and there was virtually no chance of saving anyone. Breaking in would only lead to unnecessary casualties.
Miao Yueqian quickly explained the situation in detail inside and suggested that Liu Rongsheng imdiately evacuate everyone and let the fire departnt handle the fire to prevent it from spreading.
Although Liu Rongsheng was frustrated, he wasn't blind to the situation at hand. He adopted Miao Yueqian's suggestion and ordered everyone to evacuate the villa imdiately.
At this mont, Xu Chun was lifelessly carried to the ambulance, as if his soul had left his body.
In retrospect, he might regret not raising his son properly, or he might turn extre and seek revenge against Wang Lei's wife and daughter.
But those are matters for the future. You can't preemptively detain soone just because they might do sothing.
After resting for a mont, Xiao Feng stepped out of the crowd and sent a ssage to Hua Ling: "The hostage situation is over, we're even now."
In his view, agreeing to co was enough to repay a favor. Whether the outco was perfect was not important as long as he thought it was.
Hua Ling quickly replied, "Don't rush. We have plenty of ti; you'll owe more and more favors over ti, until you can't repay them."
Xiao Feng chuckled lightly and replied, "I'll be waiting."
Ending the chat, Xiao Feng retraced his steps back to the villa.
The sunset painted the road in hues of fire, and the windows on either side were glowing red, creating an exceptionally beautiful scene.
Xiao Feng walked slowly, reflecting on Wang Lei's story about attending a parent-teacher eting at his daughter's school, and his heart felt heavy.
Of course, that was all it was. He wasn't going to worry about the world like so artistic youth, pondering "how many people in the world are like Wang Lei."
It's not his problem to worry about, and besides, Wang Lei was just an exception. You can't keep focusing on the dark side and ignore the bright light behind it all.
"Have you moved everything in?" Looking at Du Qingyue waiting at the door, Xiao Feng asked with a smile.
"Everything's moved in." Du Qingyue nodded.
Xiao Feng looked Du Qingyue up and down, then nodded in satisfaction and said, "You're still the most beautiful wife, I can never get enough of looking at you."
Du Qingyue blushed slightly and said angrily, "You go out once and co back speaking so slickly?"
"I swear to the heavens, I only speak slickly to you!" Xiao Feng raised his right hand and vowed sincerely.
"I don't believe you." Du Qingyue rolled her eyes at him.
However, despite her words, her expression and tone showed she quite enjoyed it.
"Did you rescue the hostage?" Du Qingyue asked.
Xiao Feng shook his head, "Couldn't save them."
"Couldn't save them?" Du Qingyue's eyebrows furrowed as she pursued, "Was it because you were a step too late?"
"No." Xiao Feng shook his head again, denying it.
Du Qingyue said in a huff, "Can you answer properly instead of pouring beans from a bamboo tube?"
"No problem." Xiao Feng agreed readily, then mischievously smiled, "Provided that you let kiss you first."
"Then just forget it." Du Qingyue turned and walked away.
Xiao Feng quickly took a step forward and hugged her from behind, then whispered gently in her ear, "Do you know? I've missed you a lot during this ti, really a lot!"
Du Qingyue opened her mouth but ultimately couldn't bring herself to say anything sappy.
In this regard, most of the ti, she's not good at expressing herself with words, preferring to show it through actions.
After that, the two fell into silence.
However, this silence didn't feel awkward.
Xiao Feng rested his face against Du Qingyue's cheek, while she raised her hand to caress the other side of Xiao Feng's face.
In the sunset, their two shadows overlapped, cast in the middle of the road, creating a warm and beautiful scene.
However, this tranquility didn't last long before a discordant voice was heard.
"Master and Mistress's relationship is truly enviable," Di Junxiong said with a tone full of admiration, his hands full of gift boxes.
Du Qingyue removed Xiao Feng's hands from her waist and said to Di Junxiong, "Didn't I tell you before that just coming is enough, no need to bring anything.
Usually, they sit untouched, and when you're in the mood to eat them, they're nearly expired."
Xiao Feng chid in, "Isn't it only right for a disciple to bring sothing for his master? He should give, and we should accept. If we can't eat it all, it's all right. We can re-gift them when visiting friends and relatives, saving us from having to buy more."
"..." Di Junxiong.
Do you have to be so blunt?
Du Qingyue also looked a bit helpless, taking the items from Di Junxiong and inviting him inside to talk.
Xiao Feng walked with Di Junxiong behind them. As a master, Xiao Feng felt it necessary to ask about his disciple's work, so he said, "How's work been lately?"
"It's alright, I haven't embarrassed you, Master," Di Junxiong replied, then lowered his voice, "There's sothing you probably haven't heard, Master. Song Keren was suspended this morning."
"Huh?" Xiao Feng stopped in his tracks, "Why was she suspended?"
Di Junxiong scratched his head and said, "I'm not quite sure of the specifics. I heard it was related to financial issues, and after being interviewed by higher-ups, she was suspended."
Xiao Feng frowned slightly. As for Song Keren being corrupt, he didn't believe it.
However, this matter of suspension seems simple, but considering her father is Song Zhengbo, it becos quite complex.
It's precisely because of this that Xiao Feng isn't too worried. A tiger doesn't eat its own cubs, can Song Zhengbo watch his daughter end up in jail?
Though... it seems it's not entirely impossible.
But in the end, it's not worth worrying about for himself.
Just then, a little girl's voice rang out from behind, "Brother Xiao Feng, co check our picks!"
Hearing this, Xiao Feng and Di Junxiong turned around, and both of them stood stupefied at what they saw.
