Insufficient balance

  "Tian Nan brother, what's going on? Today is Yu Ling's birthday, and Fourth Daughter was invited by me." Xiao Feng said as he walked forward, noticing the strange situation.

  As soon as he heard this, Ye Yizhe instantly knew the identity of the person who had come.

  Green Gang elder, Feng Tian Nan.

  The father of that short-lived ghost who was lucky enough to marry Feng Si Niang but unlucky enough to be separated from her for a long time.

  He turned back to look at Feng Si Niang and found that she didn't have any unusual expression, but a face that seemed to have expected this all along. Ye Yi Zhe was shocked, so this was her intention after all.

  She just laughed coldly and walked up, standing in front of Feng Tian Nan. Feng Tian Nan was actually not tall or big, but rather short and thin, with a height of only 1.65 meters, his slender body giving people the feeling that he would fall over with just one blow. However, his sharp eyes were intimidating without being angry, making people feel that they didn't match his appearance. His white hair was combed neatly, and in his hand he held a single-handed cane made of some unknown type of wood, looking very refined. Who could have imagined that he was the Green Gang's elder who controlled the fate of millions?

  Looking at the old man in front of her, who possessed both power and wealth, Feng Si Niang didn't show any mercy, speaking to him as if she were talking to a stranger: "I'm here, is that strange?"

  As she spoke, she didn't forget to hold onto Ye Yizhe's arm from the side, looked up at him with a gentle gaze, leaned against his body, and said with a happy face: "Today I came with my adoptive brother."

  Ye Yizhe clearly felt the corner of Feng Tian's mouth twitch, knowing that this was not suitable for him, but he also couldn't afford to offend Feng Si Niang, having just taken such a valuable necklace from her. He thought to himself that it would be too much to ask if he didn't even help with this small matter. Thinking this, he stretched out his other hand and gently stroked her hair, as if provoking her, yet also gazing at her warmly.

  As for what Xiaoyu Ling and the others thought, Ye Yizhe didn't consider it. If they couldn't see that he was doing this on purpose with their intelligence, then they weren't worthy of being called talented women, especially after seeing his sudden change in attitude towards Feng Sima.

  Everyone present knew they were acting, except for Feng Tian Nan, the real party involved.

  Moreover, in this situation, the Xiao family couldn't explain themselves, and people from other families would be delighted to see conflicts arise, who would come out to explain?

  "Good kid!" The tone in Feng Tian Nan's voice was indistinguishable, but Ye Yi Zhe had a bad feeling. Sure enough, he heard him continue to say to the person beside him, "Bring them in!"

  The person who looked like the butler quickly walked out, and soon several urgent footsteps sounded, getting closer and closer until they stood in the hall of the Xiao family.

  One, two, three, four.

  Ye Yizhe's eyes swept over them, and in front of him were only four people. However, their uniform movements, expressionless faces, and standing still with their hands behind their backs at the back of Feng Tian Nan, waiting quietly for orders, was an aura that only special forces could have. Just one elder had such bodyguards following him, which made Ye Yizhe's heart secretly tremble. No wonder even Li Hu, who was so proud, couldn't help but lower his head when he saw Ye Yizhe, and before Ye Yizhe arrived, he didn't dare to raise a hint of resistance.

  "What's going on here?" Xiao Feng couldn't stand it anymore. If he let something happen to Ye Yizhe, who had just given him such a valuable item, after bringing him to the Xiao family, then he would lose all face if word got out. Moreover, the anxious gaze of Xiao Yu Ling was making his heart ache. This man, whose status in his granddaughter's heart was clearly not low, he couldn't just stand by and watch him get into trouble.

  "Xiao Lao Ye Zi, I'll just pretend that this matter has nothing to do with the Xiao family. I hope you won't come and stir up trouble." Seeing Xiao Tong approaching, Feng Tian Nan knew he was completely clueless about the situation and only wanted to be a peacemaker. He hadn't appeared in Jiangzhou for many years, so apart from business matters, he probably wouldn't pay attention to anything else. As for his relationship with Feng Si Niang, he probably wouldn't understand it either, so Feng Tian Nan didn't mind his attitude too much.

  After finishing speaking, he waved his hand at the several people who came in and said: "Throw this kid into the Huangpu River to feed the fish."

  "How dare you!"

  As soon as the words of Feng Tian Nan fell, Feng Si Niang was furious. Although this play was arranged by her and she had considered all these things, when she really encountered this situation, she was truly angry. For so many years, anyone who dared to get close to her man would either be found floating in the Huangpu River or disappear without a trace. She didn't really love anyone, but felt suffocated by such constraints, unable to express the pain.

  Some things have to be done once and for all.

  For this goal, she had to give up some things, such as reserve.

  But this idea didn't take shape until Ye Yizhe appeared and she had a clear thought.

  Xiao Tong stopped in his tracks as soon as he heard her words, turned around and patted Xiao Yu Ling's hand, saying softly: "Wait and see."

  "I'd like to see who can save this kid today!" Feng Tian Nan pressed down on the hilt with both hands, and the sound of it hitting the ground made everyone present feel a stir in their hearts. They finally remembered that the Feng Tian Nan in front of them was not the gentle and amiable old man he usually seemed to be, but rather the Green Gang's elder who had stepped on countless white bones, shed thousands of pints of blood, and killed his own brother and father to survive, and was now standing before them. In terms of status, he was only inferior to the Green Gang's leader, and could be considered the number one person in Jiangzhou's underworld!

  "Heh heh." Feng Si Niang didn't get angry, but instead smiled. However, her cold and stern face made even Feng Tian Nan feel a chill, "I'd like to see who can move him today!"

  The same words, just one word changed, completely different meaning. The young people of the Xiao family didn't dare to breathe a word, although they were used to acting arrogant and domineering outside, but this level of confrontation was no longer something they could participate in. Even the Xiao family had to lower their heads when facing the Green Gang, this behemoth, or else they would be thrown into the Huangpu River tomorrow.

  "Still not giving me a ride?" Feng Tian Nan said in a low voice, seeing the four bodyguards still standing there motionless.

  Four people rushed forward immediately, wanting to grab Ye Yizhe. Feng Si Niang suddenly blocked his way, staring at Feng Tian Nan with a calm face: "You can try!"

  Several people hesitated immediately, turning their heads to look at Feng Tian Nan. They would have no qualms about taking action against others, even if it meant going against Xiang's family and Xiang Tong, but the woman in front of them was Feng Si Niang. Who could forget that this woman was originally named Liu Rui Han? They had watched her step by step as she entered Jiangzhou, watching her fall in love with and marry their long-time young master Feng. They had seen her cry for three days at Young Master Feng's funeral until her tears were all dried up. In their hearts, she was always Liu Rui Han, the little girl who had grown up with them from a small town, never changing. As for the later Feng Si Niang, haha, they didn't recognize her.

  "Liú Ruìhán!" Fēng Tiān Nán was also furious to the extreme, directly calling out her true name.

  Feng Si Niang was taken aback, she hadn't expected to hear this title in this setting. Ye Yi Zhe also felt her body tremble and instinctively pulled her arm closer, giving her a reassuring glance. Feng Si Niang seemed to have gained encouragement as she coldly stared at Feng Tian Nan: "Ye Yi Zhe is someone I've found, I won't let anything happen to him, no matter the cost!"

  Looking at the persistent Fourth Miss Feng, a hint of confusion flashed in Feng Tian's eyes, apparently thinking of something, but it was only a flash, and he immediately struck the ground heavily again: "Pull her away!"

  The four of them immediately took action. Just as they were about to catch Feng Si Niang, Ye Yizhe was also ready to take action when she suddenly shouted: "Don't you always want to know the truth from back then?"
