Insufficient balance

  The sudden change left everyone stunned.

  In addition to Ye Yizhe, who had already sensed that something was amiss, there was also Feng Siniang, who had been watching with a cold eye.

  Xiao Tong's angry voice also had a sense of being deceived: "Zhen Yu, what are you doing!"

  Xiao Zhenfeng couldn't help but speak directly: "Third brother, quickly put down the knife. This is framing the Xiao family with injustice!"

  "Brother, I think you've gone mad." Xiao Zhenyu looked at him with a foolish expression. "The Xiao family? Can the Xiao family still control me at this time? Does the Xiao family have the power to protect me? After my death, who cares about the Xiao family being flooded?"

  Xiao Zhenfeng was taken aback, looking at this suddenly unfamiliar younger brother, not knowing what to say. In his heart, nothing was more important than the interests of the Xiao family. He didn't care about sacrificing his life for it and had never thought otherwise. For the people of the Xiao family, there would be no betrayal of the Xiao family, especially when it came to this younger brother he had watched grow up since childhood. Although he knew what he said was right, if everyone else died, what did the affairs of the Xiao family have to do with him?

  "Don't move, let me leave safely and I'll naturally release him." Xiao Zhenyu discovered that Feng Siniang had released Ye Yizhe's arm and was walking towards him, so he hastily shouted, holding the Swiss Army knife tightly against Feng Tian's neck, with a posture that seemed to stab in at any moment.

  The wind stopped, but she smiled.

  "What are you laughing at?" Looking at the woman in front of him, Xiao Zhen Yu's mood was a bit complicated. Those words he said weren't entirely false; he had indeed always liked Feng Si Niang. It was precisely because of this reason that he had never taken a wife. However, even if it was Feng Si Niang, whom he loved, in the face of being the successor to the Green Gang's leader, such an extraordinary identity would have to be thoroughly discounted.

  There is a kind of man who thinks that as long as he gets power and wealth, beautiful women will be at his beck and call.

  But there is a kind of woman who doesn't want the world from men, all they want is a gentle hug from that man in their heart when they are most vulnerable.

  Feng Si Niang was like this since Feng Hua Tian.

  "I'm laughing at you," Feng Si Niang said. "What does his life or death have to do with me? The Xiao family is afraid of the Green Gang's revenge, and these bodyguards are afraid because Feng Tian Nan is their master. Why should I be afraid? I just want to get justice for Hao Tian, then put down the knot in my heart all these years, and live a carefree life with this sworn brother of mine. I'd rather you stabbed him, that way no one would stop me."

  Xiao Chenyu carefully recalled the previous situation and thought that it was indeed the case. Then, seeing Feng Si Niang lift her foot to leave, he said sternly: "Stop, or else I'll..."

  No matter how he thought, he couldn't stop Feng Si Niang's words. Seeing the worried Qing Bang people and Xiao family members beside him, he turned the topic to them: "Help me stop her, otherwise I'll stab my way in and none of you will be able to leave unscathed."

  "Miss, don't make it difficult for us." The bodyguards brought by Feng Tian Nan walked up to Feng Si Niang and said, still using the same title as before. Feng Si Niang let out a cold laugh, gritting her teeth as she spoke: "I've had nothing to do with you people for a long time now. From three years ago when you followed him to interrogate me, I cut off all ties with you. I don't care if you're dead or alive! From that day he slapped me and called me a prostitute, I've had nothing to do with the Green Gang again. I'm just Feng Si Niang, my 'Feng' is the wind of Huang Tian, not his Feng Tian Nan's wind."

  Four people's faces all showed a look of shame, causing Ye Yizhe to sigh. This must be how big the hatred is that it would make two people who were originally family members end up like this today. Sometimes, fate really can't be resisted. He walked forward and grasped Feng Simao's hand. Feng Simao trembled slightly but didn't refuse his intimate gesture. She could feel that he had no ulterior motives. Being held like this, she suddenly felt a strong urge to cry loudly in his arms. She took a deep breath and suppressed the emotion, but she knew that if there weren't so many people around, she would definitely do so.

  Feng Si Niang is still a woman who has been suppressing her emotions for too long, no matter how strong she appears or how people call her "Zhu Ye Qing".

  "Go ahead and stab." The wind Tian Nan, who had not spoken until now, suddenly spoke out, "Come on in, I've lived a lifetime, walked to today's position, I'm not at a loss. It's just that I've always been afraid of death, I'm afraid that after I die, someone will poke my spine, I'm afraid of those who have already died under me, the ones I've harmed. But do you think I'm afraid of death? Knowing full well that the murderer who killed Huang Tian is right in front of me, yet because of greed and fear of death, I don't go take revenge, do you want to add another son to my family, which has already lost all face?"

  "Shut up!" Xiao Zhenyu shouted at him and turned to the crowd, "Get me on the next available flight out of the country. Once I'm gone, I won't bother him anymore."

  "Do you think you can escape just because you've left the country?" Feng Si Niang tried to struggle free from Ye Yi Zhe's grasp, but he held her even tighter. With a sense of calmness in her heart, she looked at Xiao Zheng Yu and said, "The Qing Bang has eyes and ears both domestically and internationally, with connections to underground forces in various countries. All it takes is one word, and they will help with this small favor. Being wanted by global underground organizations is not the same as being wanted by Interpol. The three teachings and nine streams, every street and alleyway have their people. How could Xiao Zheng Yu possibly escape?"

  "This doesn't concern you," Xiao Chenyu was unmoved by her words, "I've made arrangements for so many years, if I couldn't even accomplish this then I would have lived in vain."

  "Alright, I'll arrange it immediately." The person who came with Feng Tian Nan didn't hesitate at all and said so, wanting to make a phone call to arrange the matter, but was stopped by Feng Tian Nan's shout: "Halt!"

  "Old Master!"

  "No need to say more, I absolutely won't let him go today. If that really happens, what face would I have to meet the heavens? Moreover, this is just retribution." As Wind Tian Nan spoke, his eyes became moist, and the crowd couldn't help but sigh. A man who once commanded the winds and clouds was now just a father, and what could be more genuine than the bond between parents and children? However, the people who thought he was reminiscing about Feng Huan Tian's affairs didn't know that at this moment, his mind was filled with regret for how he had treated his own father back then, and the hearts of his loved ones whom he had wronged.

  For a bit of power, they would disregard the lives of their loved ones. The former Wind Tian Nan watched as one by one they fell before him, savoring the thrill of power without ever recalling its origin or the guilt he had been carrying all along.

  It wasn't until now that he realized that the him from all those years ago and the current Xiao Chenyu were not much different after all. The cycle of cause and effect had finally caught up with him himself.

  Feng Tian Nan suddenly revealed a resolute expression, gently closed his eyes, and muttered to himself: "This is the flavor of Hao Tian."

  Feng Si Niang hastily shouted: "Don't!"

  Feng Tian Nan opened his eyes and looked at Feng Si Niang. At this moment, there was no longer any resentment in his eyes, as if he had seen through everything. A faint smile appeared on his face, causing Feng Si Niang to burst into tears again. All she heard was Feng Tian Nan saying: "Rui Han, all these years I, Feng Tian Nan, have wronged you. You have never done anything wrong to the Feng family. You are a good daughter-in-law of the Feng family, and always have been."

  Then he looked at Ye Yizhe: "Young man, take good care of her, promise me."

  Seeing Ye Yizhe nodding heavily, Feng Tian Nan smiled heartily and then, under the desperate gaze of Feng Si Niang, he leaned his body forward fiercely, allowing the military knife to pierce into his own neck.

  Xiao Chenyu did not expect such a situation and was momentarily stunned. The knife in his hand also loosened its grip and fell to the ground.

  Feng Tian Nan immediately picked up the knife, turned it around and slashed it across Xiao Chen Yu's neck before he could even react. The knife cut deep, and Feng Tian Nan fell to the ground, his face calm as he lay there, staring at the ceiling, his body bleeding profusely, feeling his life slipping away. Under the complex gazes of the crowd, he smiled, his heart finally at peace. In this moment, Ye Yi Zhe silently bid him farewell in her heart.

  The master once said that when a person is about to die, all his sins will be forgiven.
