Chapter 485: A Thought Becomes a Devil
The consequences of angering the official financial backers are severe. The law can't do anything to Xue Jifeng, but morality can.
Within just one or two weeks, Xue Jifeng was completely blacklisted. All the previous program clips that could be cut were cut out, and those that couldn't be cut were simply censored with mosaics.
Some people who had initially tried to get close to Xue Jifeng because of his fame now ran away faster than anyone else, afraid of being associated with him.
Those senior figures who had initially thought highly of his abilities, such as Dean Yang, were extremely disappointed after learning what he had done.
One should learn to be a good person before learning skills. People like Xue Jifeng, whose character is questionable, may have good skills, but their hearts are corrupt. It will be difficult for them to go any further.
Besides, the girl who had a six- or seven-year-long relationship with Xue Jifeng was also a sensible person.
As soon as she learned the truth, she went to find Xue Jifeng and slapped him twice in front of her to mourn the six or seven years she had wasted. Then she broke up with him on the spot and left without looking back.
They moved that very day and left the country the following week, cutting ties cleanly and decisively.
Xue Jifeng worked hard all day just to satisfy his greed, but he didn't expect to lose even more in the end.
At this point, both Xue Jifeng and his companion have received their due punishment.
But what troubled Ning Anquan the most was... Li Suizhi.
Ning Anquan met him the day before the trial, but she never expected that the first thing he would say to her would be...
Do you know why your father married that promiscuous woman, Bai Limei?
"Because she looks a bit like your mother when she was young, especially her eyes. At first glance, it's easy to be fooled. Your father was also susceptible to this, but he quickly came to his senses and saw the difference between her and your mother."
"But to be honest, it's not that strange. Even if the eye shapes are similar, your mother's eyes are full of gentleness and purity, while no matter how much that woman tries to hide it, the greed and scheming in her eyes can't be concealed. Others may not be able to see it, but people who know your mother very well can immediately tell the difference between the two."
Li Suizhi's tone was very complicated when he said this.
Clearly, the person he was referring to as someone extremely familiar with Ning Anquan's mother was Ning's father.
"In order to carry out my plan, I had to have the master do something to your father, forcing him to develop feelings for Bai Limei."
Ning Anquan was stunned when he heard this. He had noticed his father's changes before, but the source of all the changes was Bai Limei.
Therefore, he attributed everything to his father being blinded by his stepmother, and the resulting changes were a natural consequence.
Ning Anquan never imagined that this second marriage was not his father's original wish, but rather a result of being tricked by someone else!
"Originally, what I wanted to see most was you and your father turning against each other, preferably him killing you, or you being forced to kill him. But things didn't go as I expected. The person who should have been completely infatuated with that woman and become her puppet developed a sense of rebellion. The first time was when they were selling your family's old house, and the second time was when they stopped your bank card and forced you to go home."
Ning Anquan's hands, hanging by his sides, tightened unconsciously, and the anger in his heart grew even stronger.
“His resistance made me realize that things were likely getting out of control, so I quickened my pace and made him buy the land. I wanted him dead, and I wanted you dead too.”
Li Suizhi chuckled as he spoke, sending chills down one's spine.
"Looking back now, I can't even remember when I started to hate him, to the point that I couldn't even tolerate his and her child."
When Ning Anquan left, he felt a heavy weight pressing on his heart, making it hard for him to breathe.
What made it even harder for him to breathe was that Ning Anquan happened to run into Li Suizhi's wife and children, who had rushed back from abroad, when he left.
Ning Anquan was momentarily flustered by this.
In the subsequent investigation, it was clearly learned that everything Li Suizhi did was his own doing, and his wife and children were not involved and were completely unaware of it from beginning to end.
That's why Ning Anquan really didn't know how to face Madam Li, after all, she was the only woman who had made him feel warmth since his mother passed away.
The two stood facing each other for a while, until it was Mrs. Li who broke the silence first.
With slightly red eyes, she stepped forward and hugged Ning Anquan, saying, "I'm sorry."
Those three short words made Ning Anquan relax completely, and his eyes welled up with tears.
Ning Anquan did not go inside with the others again, but just stood at the door for a while.
Not long after the group went inside, Ning Anquan heard the sound of weeping coming from inside.
The man who didn't cry after learning the truth, and who didn't cry after being arrested, finally broke down in tears when he saw his wife and children.
After learning about this, Ye Wanxi remained silent for a long time.
She sensed something when she went to the Li family that day.
Li Suizhi had sent Bai Limei to Ning's father's side for several years, and with the help of that man in black, he should have had countless opportunities to kill them long ago.
However, his actions always give people a feeling of being indecisive and wishy-washy.
He probably didn't even realize that many of the things he did were contradictory, with hatred and reason tearing him apart.
Ye Wanxi had no doubt that if Li Suizhi hadn't reunited with Ning Anquan's father a few years ago, and he already had a happy family with two children, he might not have deliberately sought them out to carry out his so-called revenge.
But there are no "what ifs" in life; one thought can lead to enlightenment or damnation.
Hatred can blind people and drag them into an abyss from which they cannot escape.
Besides this, Ye Wanxi received another "good news" shortly before her departure.
Qi Yanjiao is dead.
Just as Ye Wanxi had imagined, she died from the rotting of her body.
One can only imagine the agony one must have endured before dying in such a manner.
With Qi Yanjiao dead, the last obsessions of those she had killed were gone, and they also knew that they could not stay in the mortal world for too long after their liberation, otherwise their souls would gradually become weak and affect their reincarnation in the next life.
If their relatives stay in contact with them for too long, it will endanger their health, so leaving at this time is the most appropriate time.
Therefore, Ye Wanxi and Feng Tianyu personally led them to Faxiang Temple.
Master Liaoran knew in advance that they were coming, and he waited at the temple gate for their arrival.
This made Ye Wanxi feel quite flattered: "Thank you for welcoming me personally, Master. I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you again today."
Master Liaoran recited a Buddhist verse and said with a kind smile, "Benefactor Ye, you are too kind. Guiding people towards goodness and helping them reincarnate is simply my duty. Moreover, sending these innocent victims into reincarnation is itself a great act of merit. Benefactor Ye has trusted me to complete this task, so it is I who should thank you."
