"Sorry." Zhan Jingting smiled and loosened his grip a little.

"Jingting, relax. I'm back safe and sound, aren't I?" Qiao Wanwan reached out and touched his face. "I was well prepared. Even if Lin Feng hadn't been shot, I still had my medicine. I have plenty of ways to deal with it."

“Wanwan, you’re lucky today. What if Lin Feng had shot you as soon as you went in?” Zhan Jingting couldn’t bear to imagine that scene. “Not to mention he’s planted a bomb and could take you down with him at any time.”

“That’s true…” Qiao Wanwan said, “I don’t want to think about these things anymore. As long as the result is good, the process doesn’t matter anymore.”

"You should sleep a little longer."

"good."

Upon returning to Wutong Bay, the two were summoned to a side hall by Huo Shiqian.

"Brother, what's wrong?" Qiao Wanwan asked curiously. "You don't look well."

"After something like this, do you think I'll look okay?" Huo Shiqian looked at Zhan Jingting. "Jingting, how could you let Wanwan take such a risk alone? Do you know she could die at any moment? Can you bear the consequences?"

"elder brother......"

"Don't interrupt!" Huo Shiqian was clearly angry. "Qiao Wanwan, I know you want to say it was your idea, and I believe it was your decision, but before you make that decision, can you think about others, think about your family, think about your children, huh?"

“Xiang Yang is also my family.” Qiao Wanwan looked at him seriously. “Brother, Xiang Yang and I grew up together. We are closer than family. If I were in danger today, Xiang Yang would never hesitate to save me, no matter how dangerous it is. Even if I die there today, I will not regret this decision. So don’t blame Jing Ting. He is the one who least wants me to take risks.”

Huo Shiqian's anger suddenly burst forth, and he didn't know how to vent it. "Fine, I can't argue with you, but if there's a next time, you won't even be leaving through this door!"

Qiao Wanwan suppressed a laugh and stepped forward to take his arm. "Brother, I know you're worried about me and feel sorry for me. I won't do it again next time. I promise I'll listen to you from now on and won't take any more risks, okay?"

Huo Shiqian's anger subsided by more than half in an instant. "Don't think that you can just let this go by acting cute. I'm keeping it from Grandpa and the others. If they find out, they'll be heartbroken!"

"Now that I'm back safely, you don't need to tell Grandpa, so he won't worry."

"You know that others will worry?"

"Okay, don't be angry anymore." Qiao Wanwan smiled and pulled him to sit down on the sofa. "How about I tell you what happened today?"

“No need. Zaozao said she couldn’t find you, and you didn’t answer my calls, which seemed strange. I called Jiangdong, and he not only told me, but also connected the footage at my request. Zaozao and I have already seen what happened.”

"I see. I was just thinking of showing off to you."

"What do you have to brag about? If Jingting hadn't made the right bet, you would have lost your life in there long ago."

Qiao Wanwan asked curiously, "What did Jingting bet on?"

"Lin Feng wasn't without a chance to detonate the bomb, but he still had a shred of family affection left, and he couldn't bear to blow up his parents. That's how you had a chance to escape."

“Oh right.” Qiao Wanwan looked at Zhan Jingting. “Jingting, why did you think of bringing Lin Feng’s parents here?”

Zhan Jingting sat down on the sofa and said, "It's not hard to see from Lin Feng's words that he is actually very lacking in love, which is why he values ​​Lin Mo so much. His parents don't know he exists, and he has no hatred towards them."

When his parents learned they had a son, they showed overwhelming love and concern, immediately kneeling down and begging me to spare Lin Feng's life. So I thought that when they met, something might happen. They were both eager to see their son and persuade him to stop and spare his life. As it turned out, my guess was correct.

"I see." Qiao Wanwan suddenly realized, "So, Lin Feng's fate was quite tragic. As a child of the Lin family, he was born into a privileged family, but a single sentence from a feng shui master completely changed his destiny, causing him to fall from heaven to hell. Without the companionship and love of his family, and having endured so much inhuman torture, his personality became twisted. Lin Mo was his only salvation. Lin Mo's death was like extinguishing the last glimmer of light in his life, which led him down the path of no return."

“Even the most hateful people have their pitiable side,” Huo Shiqian said. “But Wanwan, you were right to shoot. You can’t be soft-hearted with this kind of person.”

"Yes, even when his parents knelt down and begged me, I didn't soften my heart. Lin Feng didn't let go of my child back then, so I can't let him go."

Huo Shiqian nodded. "Is Xiang Yang alright?"

"I'm not injured. My hands and feet were tied too tightly, so there are some marks."

"It's good that you're alright."

Jiang Dong quickly called to report that Lin Mo had died and that Lin's parents had brought him back to the Lin family home.

Zhan Jingting instructed Jiang Dong to clear the explosives from the abandoned parking lot to prevent innocent people from being injured.

The next day, He Songling came to see Qiao Wanwan.

“I’ve already asked around. Lin Feng’s former subordinates are either dead or injured, and few of the survivors dare to continue following him. I heard that only two people went to the capital. I’ve sent their identities to your phone. You can investigate and find them.”

"Okay." Qiao Wanwan looked at him. "I keep my word. You and Xu Lai can leave now. We will have nothing to do with each other from now on."

She took out a check and said, "This is what I promised to give Xu Lai. You can take it."

He Songling accepted it, saying, "Thank you."

Qiao Wanwan watched his departing figure and couldn't help but smile.

"Boss, what are you laughing at?" Xiang Yang asked curiously.

“I used to think the world was black and white, so if I encountered someone like that, I would definitely take them to the police station. But now…” Qiao Wanwan curved her lips slightly, “Xiang Yang, have I changed?”

“Boss, this world is never black and white; there are many gray areas.” Xiang Yang said seriously, “If you hadn’t made an agreement with He Songling, things wouldn’t have gone so smoothly. You have to keep your word. Besides, the police have said that without evidence, they can’t convict He Songling. Even if you send him to the police station, it won’t do any good. Of course, we can keep an eye on him. If he commits another crime, he will naturally not escape the punishment of the law.”

“He Songling is very smart. He has everything now, so he won’t let anything happen to him.”

Does he have a lot?

Qiao Wanwan smiled faintly, "Jing Ting investigated and found that Xu Lai has a large sum of money in her overseas account. She herself is probably unaware of it; He Songling deposited it in her name. This money is enough for them to live comfortably. Plus, Xu Lai has accepted him, so she has more than she could ever want. However..."
