Chapter 1113 The Fruits of Past Good Deeds
"So that's how it is." Mrs. Feng frowned, her expression grave. "So his trouble with you is both a conspiracy and a personal vendetta. And those things he said in the video, if you do as he says, he really..."
Feng Tianyu looked at his elderly mother, who had lost her basic judgment due to the shock, with a complicated expression, and said incisively, "Hoping that he will keep his promise is not as good as hoping that heaven will send down a bolt of lightning to take him away."
Feng's mother: "..."
Ye Wanxi was worried that Feng Tianyu's bluntness would provoke his mother's anger again, so she quickly explained, "Wu Yequan set up this formation to sacrifice everyone in Z City to help him achieve great demonic power, shatter the void, and ascend to godhood. Even if the two of us die, he will not stop."
Madam Feng's expression was solemn. This answer was within her expectations. Ever since she saw that video, she knew that the old man was definitely not a good person, and that naming Ye Wanxi and the other person was very likely a conspiracy.
But just because she can see things clearly doesn't mean that those who are blinded by appearances can understand them too.
Before she arrived, she had seen too many malicious and accusatory comments directed at Ye Wanxi and her companion, wishing they would commit suicide on the spot to atone for their sins.
That's why she's so angry and worried.
Xiao Yuti and her husband weren't stupid. From the conversation, they had a general idea of the truth. They said with worried faces, "What are you going to do now? That old guy is threatening the lives of everyone in the city, demanding that you hand over your lives... What if..." What if some people misunderstand and really put pressure on them to exchange you?
Thinking of this, Madam Xiao couldn't help but feel a little inexplicably apprehensive. It really proved the saying that bad people are not scary, but bad people are not only bad but also capable.
Ordinary bad guys might only hurt a few people when they get ruthless, but a big devil like Wu Yequan can hurt millions of people when he gets evil!
Upon hearing Madam Xiao's words, Feng Tianyu's lips curled into a mocking sneer: "If they're really that stupid, then they're just courting their own destruction."
No one knew better than Feng Tianyu and his group how difficult it was to deal with Wu Yequan after his resurrection; keeping the two of them alive might give them a fighting chance.
But if they both die, Xiang Yueqi and the others will probably collapse mentally, and then not only the people of Z City, but everyone might die.
Ye Wanxi had already anticipated the pressure she and Feng Tianyu would face within that one-day timeframe. She sighed and tried to comfort Feng's mother, saying, "Auntie, don't worry. I believe most people are rational and understanding in the face of such situations. Besides, even if someone really wants to harm us, we're not without the ability to protect ourselves. On the contrary, it's you..."
Madam Feng was slightly taken aback, but quickly understood what Ye Wanxi meant.
Ye Wanxi and Feng Tianyu are not ordinary people. Even if they can't win a fight, they can still run away when faced with difficulties, coercion, or even threats of force.
But they are different; they are ordinary people, and if they were to face this situation, they would most likely be unable to escape.
In case someone realizes they can't kill the two of them, they might turn their attention to them, capturing them and threatening Ye Wanxi and her companion to commit suicide...
Just thinking about that scene made Feng's mother shudder.
If it really came to that, she would rather lose her own life than have her two children sacrifice themselves for her.
Upon seeing his mother's expression, Feng Tianyu immediately guessed what she was thinking. He was touched but also somewhat helpless.
"You've come at the perfect time. Stay at Yuanyuan's place tonight, and we'll talk about it again tomorrow."
Even if they hadn't come, Feng Tianyu was prepared to go and pick them up. Although the people guarding their residence were arranged by Xiao Jihui, they didn't just obey Xiao Jihui's orders.
He doesn't even fully trust Xiao Jihui anymore, let alone anyone else.
Madam Feng and the others knew the seriousness of the matter, so they nodded and did not refuse.
Online discussions about this matter continue to escalate, with more and more rumors spreading on a large scale. More and more people are also standing up, hoping that Ye Wanxi and her companion can consider the bigger picture and take the initiative to stand up for the lives of hundreds of thousands of innocent people.
Ye Wanxi's public account and her agency's account have been flooded with messages. Under each official account, there are also many people claiming to be relatives and friends of the victims in Z City, demanding that they come up with a way as soon as possible to rescue their relatives and friends and deal with Wu Yequan and Ye Wanxi, who caused all this.
Surprisingly, no matter how angry the crowd was, and how many curses they hurled, it didn't work.
These accounts stubbornly held on, remaining silent until late that night.
Many people couldn't sleep that night; those whose relatives and friends were still trapped in Z city were too worried to sleep.
Those netizens in Z City who had no connection to Wu Yequan considered themselves righteous people. Knowing they were not strong enough to confront Wu Yequan in real life, they charged into battle online, attempting to achieve the greatest success with the least sacrifice.
However, to everyone's surprise, after all their arguing, what they finally got was a news report.
The report was about a major news story that had been discussed for days a few years ago—the North City tsunami.
Many people who had been following the official account, hoping to get firsthand information about Z City, were puzzled when they saw this news.
While the North City tsunami was indeed devastating back then, what's the point of releasing an old news story from several years ago during such a critical time? Is it to divert attention?
But when they saw what was below, many of them stared in shock.
The tsunami in Beicheng that year was caused by an underwater earthquake and days of torrential rain. The combination of multiple factors created an extremely powerful destructive force.
The footage from the scene at the time showed how small and fragile humanity is in the face of natural disasters. But what's amazing is that although the tsunami caused huge property damage in Beicheng, there were no major casualties.
The report detailed that a total of thirteen people were injured in the North City tsunami, most of them with minor injuries such as scrapes and abrasions. No one died and no one went missing.
This data is nothing short of miraculous for such a massive natural disaster.
The report concluded by detailing how staff in various areas followed instructions to help residents of Beicheng City evacuate quickly before the disaster, and praised the residents' cooperation at the time.
It is precisely because of this effort and trust that we have been able to achieve such an inspiring and gratifying result.
But this also raises a question: why did the staff arrange for everyone to evacuate before the massive tsunami triggered by the earthquake in Beicheng, as if they had foreseen it?
Back then, everyone believed that this premonition was due to advanced instruments, but today the mystery has finally been solved.
