Shen Tangning shook her head: "You still don't understand. Do you even know why your father ended up like this?"
Before he could speak, she said with a cold, mocking expression, "Because you are incredibly foolish and easily trust others!"
Feng Zhiwen's expression changed, but she continued calmly, "You believed Jiang Qingyue's attempts to sow discord and ruin my relationship with your cousin, and you also trusted a stranger, almost dragging the entire Feng family down with you!"
"How could you..." He stared in astonishment, his voice hoarse.
"How would I know?" Shen Tangning's eyes were cold as she looked down at him. "You should feel lucky. Anyone who offends me will not have a good ending, but because you are Ayan's cousin, I will let you off the hook."
"But everyone has to pay the price for their mistakes, no one is an exception. The Feng family is a large and powerful family, and there are many people who covet this wealth. Even if your father escaped this time by luck, there will always be a next time, and the time after that. If you don't improve at all, then the Feng family will be destroyed in your hands sooner or later!"
Feng Zhiwen stood there dumbfounded, his eyes wide open, his heart filled with turmoil.
No one had ever said these words to him. He was the youngest child in the family, and everyone doted on him, so he had never experienced any setbacks.
His father was still young, and his elder brother was able to uphold the family's reputation. He could live a carefree life, but he didn't know that his naivety and innocence could kill him!
After a long while, Feng Zhiwen propped himself up on the ground, slowly kowtowed, and said in a heavy voice, "I understand, thank you for your guidance, sister-in-law."

Chi Yan made a special trip to the prison, but things didn't go very smoothly.
Although the jailer allowed him to see the man out of consideration for him, he remained tight-lipped about when the man would be released.
Feng Yuan's situation was relatively good; at least he hadn't been tortured. Upon seeing Chi Yan, he looked ashamed and sighed, "It's also my fault. I raised my son too naively. If I had noticed his mistakes sooner, things wouldn't have happened..."
“Uncle, this is not your fault.” Chi Yan gave him a deep look. “Since the other party has set their sights on the Feng family, even if it’s not my cousin, they will start from other places. At that time, we will be even more caught off guard.”
The two looked at each other and exchanged a knowing glance.
Chi Yan handed him the food and said earnestly, "Don't worry, I will think of another way to see if I can get you out as soon as possible."
After Chi Yan left, the jailer came up to Feng Yuan and stared at him with a smile in his voice: "Your nephew treats you quite well, even better than your own son."
Feng Yuan smiled but didn't reply.
...
When Feng Zhiwen saw Chi Yan come out, he quickly went up to him and asked, "How did it go, cousin? Did you see my father? Was he injured?"
Chi Yan pressed down on his shoulder: "No, don't worry."
"When can he..." Meeting Chi Yan's silent gaze, Feng Zhiwen squatted down, holding his head, his voice filled with regret, "If I could, I really want to go and take his place!"
Chi Yan stared at him for a while, then kicked him with his foot: "Get up, act like a man. Can crying solve everything?"
Feng Zhiwen stood up and wiped away her tears.
He finally softened his tone: "Go back first, I'll let you know when I have news."
Feng Zhiwen bit his lip and nodded emphatically.
...
After the two parted ways, Feng Zhiwen walked dejectedly toward the inn. As he passed through a small alley, a sack fell from the sky!
"Who goes there!" He instinctively struggled to get up, but was chopped at the back of the head with a hand chop.
"Hmm..."
