Chapter 654: The root of Feng Mu’s madness lies here

“Awesome!!!!”

Lou Duan had no place to vent the turmoil in his heart, nor could he share it with outsiders.

He could only pour all his almost burning excitement into the cold numbers.

He opened his e-wallet and frantically transferred all the available and even misappropriated funds in his account, one after another, into his personal account on the website, as if throwing sacrifices into the abyss.

It would be a waste to keep that money in public accounts anyway. It would be better to use it to fund the construction of greater and more promising great undertakings, and also to reasonably avoid taxes.

After doing all this, Lou Duan couldn't sleep anymore.

The excitement is like a reef after the tide recedes, revealing the cold and hard anxiety underneath, a bit like the emptiness after taking a wake-up call.

The dead silence in the study seemed to have weight, pressing heavily on his shoulders.

Lou Duan was waiting, waiting for the news that Qian Huan had woken up.

He must find out as soon as possible what Wang Xinfa's attitude will be towards this.

This attitude will be the most critical barometer for assessing his future situation.

Is the alert lifted and the situation safe again, or is the danger escalating and a storm is imminent?

Of course, Lou Duan would not just stare at the computer screen and wait like a fool. He had just released several capable confidants like casting a net.

Out of caution, he did not let his men go into the Emerald Garden, but just hid on the periphery to observe the license plates of passing vehicles.

If Qian Huan woke up safely, he guessed that Wang Xinfa would definitely go to the Jade Garden.

Time passed by minute by minute in the silent study.

Lou Duan's fingertips tapped unconsciously on the cold table, making a monotonous "da, da" sound.

The night outside the window changes from light to dark, and then from dark to light.

Unknowingly, several hours passed. He waited and waited, but there was no news of Qian Huan waking up.

Lou Duan couldn't help but start to murmur in his heart:

"Does the operation take so long? Qian Huan hasn't woken up yet? Could he have died on the operating table? Is Zuo Bai reliable?!"

Zuo Bai wouldn't be unhappy and deliberately fail the operation to kill Qian Huan, right? ! ! "

Lou Duan felt nervous. He had spent a lot of money to ask the website to send the person over. He was really afraid that Zuo Bai would kill Qian Huan with his treatment.

If that were the case...

This thought immediately made Lou Duan shudder, and his mind unconsciously flashed back to the white... toilet floor tiles.

That crazy woman Li Hanyu would want to drag the whole world to be buried with her. Fortunately, she can't do it, but she can definitely drag herself along.

“Damn it!!!”

Lou Duan felt a little regretful. He was so focused on placing the order that he forgot to ask for a friendly delivery process in the "delivery" notes.

Could this be a fatal oversight?

Lou Duan's heart was in turmoil, but he could do nothing and waited anxiously.

He didn't even dare to touch his cell phone, let alone call Li Hanyu's number. He was afraid that as soon as he picked up the call, he would hear an invitation like "Let's die together".

The longer he waited, the more uneasy Lou Duan became. An ominous premonition began to quietly grow in his heart, becoming stronger and stronger.

Another hour of agony lasted, as long as a century.

There is still no news whether Qian Huan is alive or dead.

Then, Lou Duan waited for the news of Qian Huan waking up, but instead received another unexpected and shocking news.

"Stationmaster Lou, the cordon... Jade Garden has been cordoned off and entry is prohibited.

A large number of police officers blocked the Emerald Garden. Oh, I saw the congressman's car go in, and the car of Mr. Lu from Guangming Group arrived at the same time.

Wait a minute, it seems like something is being carried out at the entrance of Jade Garden. Um, don't worry, we are quite far away. Um, they are all covered with white cloth, and it looks like a row of corpses..."

When Lou Duan finally received the news from his subordinates over the phone, he was completely numb.

After all, whether Qian Huan was awake or dead, it shouldn't be such a big deal, right?

Could it be that Li Hanyu went crazy and did something? No, what could she do that would require the entire Emerald Garden to be sealed off?

This time, Lou Duan did not remain confused for too long. Soon his subordinates brought him further news, which dispelled his doubts.

——Something happened to the special envoy!

Lou Duan: “???”

The good news is that it probably wasn't something Li Hanyu did;

The bad news is, this special brew is not as good as what Li Hanyu would do if he went crazy.

After a brief numbness in Lou Duan's brain, he did not doubt that the accident involving the special envoy had anything to do with Li Hanyu.

Even if he had doubts, his first reaction would be to doubt first - could this be done by the website?

Lou Duan's suspicion was so reasonable that it made him feel cold, after all, the website had a glorious record.

Lou Duan's heart skipped a beat and he couldn't help but start to think wildly.

Wasn’t it because of that “accident” at No. 8 Middle School that he was completely impressed by the “website” for the first time?

In order to help him silence an insignificant little person and create a perfect "accident", the means displayed by the "website" are so... crazy and extravagant!

The "website" unexpectedly released more than a dozen ferocious and bloodthirsty "monsters" during the live broadcast at all costs and without any warning, turning the closing ceremony of the martial arts conference into a bloody slaughterhouse.

Afterwards, the sanitation workers used high-pressure water guns and strong detergents to flush the ground for three days and three nights, but still could not completely wash away the blood on the ground.

In order to cover up the killing of one person, the website slaughtered a group of people without hesitation!

Just tell me, is this a "perfect" accident?

This accident was beyond Lou Duan's imagination and shocked him completely. It was such a surprise.

So, could it be that this time... the website, while "delivering the goods", also killed the correspondent?

Lou Duan sat in front of the computer, shaking his head vigorously, trying to drive this dangerous thought out of his mind bit by bit.

If this is true, there is no need to assess the danger anymore, because the danger has directly moved into the home.

"It can't be true. It's just a coincidence. It must be just a coincidence..."

Just when Lou Duan was about to expel all the delusions in his mind, he finally got the news that Qian Huan had woken up. By the way, he also learned that Councillor Wang Xinfa, with a smile on his face, publicly acknowledged Qian Huan as his son.

These two pieces of information were like two bombs that exploded in Lou Duan's confused mind, leaving him burnt on the outside and tender on the inside, and his mind went blank in an instant.

Before he could think about whether the news was true or not, he heard the cell phone on the table vibrate.

Buzz buzz buzz——buzz buzz buzz——

The screen lit up, displaying a... completely unfamiliar number.

Lou Duan's heart sank immediately, and that unsettling ominous premonition came again.

He stared at the phone as if it were a bomb controlled by a remote control.

A few seconds seemed as long as a century. Finally, he reached out and picked up the phone, pressing the answer button with a serious expression.

Then I heard that familiar voice coming from the phone, still with that familiar tone, calm yet with a hint of madness:

"Master Lou, thank you! My son has woken up. From now on, the life and death of both mother and son will be forever tied to you."

A stagnant and foul air blocked Lou Duan's chest, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.

"We agreed that I would help you wake up your son, and I did it. Why do you want to tie me up with you again?

Li Hanyu, you don't think you have me in your hands, do you?

There was a brief silence on the other end of the phone. After a few seconds, Li Hanyu's voice came again:

"Stationmaster Lou, don't be angry, I'll tell you a little secret, okay?

So, guess where Zuo Bai went after he left me?

Lou Duan's breathing stopped instantly, and all the blood in his body seemed to flow back to his smart brain. Dense beads of cold sweat oozed from his forehead and temples.

Li Hanyu was actually lying. Through the crack in her door, she could only peek into a corner of the outside. She couldn't see who entered the special envoy's villa. She could only hear the terrifying rumbling sound like an earthquake coming from there.

But that's enough.

Lou Duanxin's heart was hanging in his throat, his voice was dry:

“Who…who went in?!”

Li Hanyu did not answer directly, but instead sneered contemptuously:

"Heh, Stationmaster Lou, why do you have to act so innocent in front of me?

"Who did the gift your people sent end up with? Don't you know better than anyone else?"

Lou Duan: “…”

He really didn't understand, but he heard it clearly at this moment, and his face turned as pale as a lime-washed wall.

Li Hanyu listened to the deathly silence on the line and extended his friendly invitation again:

"Stationmaster Lou, I won't ask why you did this. But to thank you for 'saving' my son's life...

I, Li Hanyu, keep my word.

So, let's continue on our journey, sharing life and death, and sticking together, how about that? "

Lou Duan's mouth: "....."

Should I also say thank you to you?

Okay~

At least the message on the phone wasn't an invitation to "die together", so it shouldn't be completely bad!!!

……..

The night turns from dark to light.

Feng Mu left the villa silently and followed Hou Wendong closely.

Hou Wendong walked with heavy steps, his brows twisted into a knot, and it was obvious that his worries were weighing on his heart like a lead block.

Qian Huan's earth-shattering cry of "Dad" after he woke up had a huge impact on him, and the aftershocks were still buzzing in his head.

He had no idea how this strange situation had happened, but his understanding of Councillor Wang Xinfa was deep-rooted.

To some extent, he understands the MPs even better than he understands himself.

"Congressman, what he hates most in his life is unexpected people or things that are out of his control. It would be fine if this accident was caused by a hostile person.

It’s nothing more than fighting against enemies with soldiers and covering up the water with earth, but if, if this accident comes from the hands of ‘our own people’, then…”

When Hou Wendong thought of the smile on the congressman's lips when he left, he couldn't help but shudder in his heart.

"Calling someone dad casually can get you killed."

Hou Wendong sighed deeply in his heart, and the horrible scene of Qian Huan being swollen and floating up and down in the fish tank seemed to appear before his eyes.

He shook his head vigorously, turned his gaze to Feng Mu who was following silently behind him, and suddenly asked with a feeling:

"Feng Mu, how is your relationship with your father Feng Ju?"

Feng Mu was slightly startled, and immediately realized that Deputy Warden Hou must have witnessed the scene of "father and son recognizing each other" just now, and was moved by it, which led to this sudden question.

He did not feel offended. After a moment's silence, he replied calmly and frankly:

"Secretary Hou, in my mind, my father Feng Ju is an extremely utilitarian and realistic person.

Since my talent was far inferior to my sister's since childhood, I have always been a 'waste product' in his eyes. As much as he favors my sister, he is just as strict and cold to me.

His tone was so calm, as if he was narrating someone else's story, but it made Hou Wendong feel a chill in his ears.

"I'm not close to him, nor am I liked by him. Of course, I don't care about these things. Some time ago, I found an opportunity and moved out to live alone."

At this point, the corners of his mouth curled up in an almost invisible arc, as if he was mocking himself:

"However, recently, I've been lucky enough to make some progress in the Second Prison, and my father's attitude towards me has subtly changed. He's finally willing to look at me straight in the eye.

hehe--"

Feng Mu shrugged, a complex smile appeared on his lips, with a hint of indescribable emotion:

"Maybe it's because I'm finally able to do something for the family, and I actually did something."

His tone was flat, and no emotion could be heard.

"My father's attitude towards me is indeed a little more 'kind' than before. At least, he no longer beats and scolds me at will like before."

He raised his head, his gaze seeming to penetrate Hou Wendong, looking towards the blurred light band of the city in the distance. His voice deepened, yet it took on a strange warmth:

“Speaking of which, I really have to thank Warden Qian for this change.

It was his promotion and cultivation that made me realize for the first time that I was not a useless waste.

It turns out... I am also capable and can be relied upon and needed by others."

Hou Wendong listened quietly. The night wind picked up a few dead leaves on the street and swirled past his feet.

Feng Mu's words were like a blunt knife, slowly cutting through the layers of calmness, revealing the years of bitterness within.

There are no fierce accusations, no painful screams, only a kind of indifference to all pain after being repeatedly crushed by life.

This calmness itself is more suffocating than any crying.

Hou Wendong felt as if he was standing by a pool of cold water. The surface was calm and there was no ripples, but underwater it was icy and dead silent.

In an instant, a doubt that had been lingering in my mind suddenly became clear.

No wonder Feng Mu always has an inexplicable "madness" about him, like a string that is stretched too tight and may break at any time.

So the root is here!

It was forced out by his father's long-term denial and suppression.

Hou Wendong pondered, looking at the young man beside him with complicated eyes.

"This explains why he is so devoted and loyal to Qian Huan and her son.

It was because from Qian Huan, he gained trust and reuse for the first time, and received the affirmation he had been lacking, thus finding the value of his existence."

Now it makes sense.

This kind of person who is somewhat psychologically deformed and extremely lacking in love is indeed the most likely to be tied down tightly with a little "favor" and remain loyal until death...
