Chapter 357: Chapter 357: Tang Wenrou’s Worries

Influenced by Fang Bai’s aura, Su Linglong felt a surge of hot blood coursing through her veins, and with a clenched fist, she said in a soft voice, "Fang Bai, no matter when, I will always stand by your side!"

Tang Wenrou gave Su Linglong a glance, her eyes filled with complex emotions. She took a deep breath to calm her slightly sour mood and said to Fang Bai with a bitter smile, "I know I can’t dissuade you. But from my standpoint, I don’t wish for you two to escalate the situation... Fang Bai, I hope you can understand me."

Fang Bai smiled and said, "I know you’re a police officer and have the responsibility to maintain social stability. If things get too big, it will be difficult for you! Don’t worry, as long as the Wang Family gives me a satisfactory explanation in this matter, I’ll give them a way out! It’s up to the Wang Family to decide whether they want to act decently or not!"

Tang Wenrou sighed, stood silently, and didn’t say any more, but in her heart, she decided to return to her family as soon as possible to discuss with her parents how she should behave in this situation.

After knowing the details of the conflict between Fang Bai and the Wang Family, Tang Wenrou’s heart was privately and publicly on Fang Bai’s side.

Tang Wenrou believed that the cause of this matter lay with the Wang Family, and as long as the Wang Family was willing to soften their stance and admit their wrongdoing to Fang Bai, the situation wouldn’t escalate.

However, Tang Wenrou also understood that a wealthy family like the Wang Family had its pride, and getting the Wang Family to admit their mistakes to Fang Bai would be almost impossible unless significant pressure was exerted on them.

And Tang Wenrou knew Fang Bai well enough to know that he was gentle as a spring breeze but as firm as steel. If you were good to him, he would be good to you; if you provoked him, then you wouldn’t have peace.

No matter how powerful the Wang Family was, Fang Bai would certainly not be afraid.

Fang Bai wasn’t contending with the Wang Family out of a "barefooted person isn’t afraid of someone with shoes" mindset; his current strength was enough to support his mighty confidence.

What Tang Wenrou was most worried about now was that both sides would be intransigent, and once a conflict arose, it would likely stir up trouble in Yanjing City.

Grudges between martial artists of the Ancient Martial World were usually settled privately, and regardless of life or death, victory or defeat, they wouldn’t go to the police.

The police were somewhat aware of the customs of the Ancient Martial World, so when martial artists settled their grudges, the police typically turned a blind eye, intervening only if social order and the life and property of civilians were endangered.

Tang Wenrou wanted to return to her family quickly for another reason, which was to have some elders intervene and join with other prominent clans of Yanjing to put pressure on the Wang Family to stop any potential conflict with Fang Bai.

In the end, Tang Wenrou was still worried that Fang Bai might suffer in the conflict with the Wang Family. Although Fang Bai was powerful, he was just one person, facing a wealthy and influential family in Huaxia—how could he possibly be their match?

Fang Bai had saved Tang Wenrou’s life, and her father, Tang Chongshan, also had a very good impression of Fang Bai. Now that the Wang Family was bullying Fang Bai, it was only natural for the Tang Family to step in and defend him.

Tang Wenrou knew that her father’s temperament was like her own; they couldn’t stand injustice in this world. If he knew that Fang Bai was being bullied by the Wang Family, he wouldn’t stand by and would certainly help Fang Bai.

If the Tang Family was willing to intervene, and with the Lu Family of Yanjing who had good relations with Fang Bai on his side, it would make the Wang Family hesitate to harm Fang Bai carelessly.

They rescued the son of the owner of Yuwei Hotel, Li Fuzhi, from that temporary shelter in the stadium, then brought him back to the Yuwei Hotel and handed him over to his parents.

Li Fuzhi and his wife were naturally extremely grateful, and Madam Liu Qing once again expressed her repentance for her previous actions of drugging someone.

Fang Bai and his company knew that Liu Qing was driven by the desperation of a parent and decided not to hold it against her. Otherwise, given her actions, she would definitely have to spend some time behind bars.

Tang Wenrou drove Fang Bai and Su Linglong to the entrance of Yanjing Hospital. Watching the two of them walk side by side toward the hospital, a faint sense of sadness and worry could be seen in her eyes.

Fang Bai seemed to sense something and turned around to smile and wave at her.

Tang Wenrou forced a slight smile, and as soon as Fang Bai turned around, she bit her lower lip with her upper teeth, pressed down hard on the accelerator, and the roar of the engine filled the air as the police car shot forward at high speed, quickly disappearing around the distant street corner.

......

Around two in the afternoon, the rain began to ease, and the clouds dispersed to reveal the sunlight once more.

The weather was quite clear, but Wang Dong’s mood at this moment was gloomy and dark.

Ever since the incidents when his mother was publicly humiliated and the woman he liked had been snatched away, Wang Dong hated Fang Bai to his bones, and so he plotted a conspiracy against him.

He had thought his plan was foolproof and that this time he could finally get rid of the thorn in his side, Fang Bai. However, the outcome greatly exceeded Wang Dong’s expectations.

The person he had sent out to gather information just reported back that Fang Bai had already returned to the hospital unharmed, while the three martial artists involved in planning the conspiracy were missing without a trace and whether they were dead or alive was unknown.

Receiving this news, Wang Dong broke into a cold sweat, aware that things had taken a turn for the worse.

Wang Dong knew in his heart that if Fang Bai found out he was behind the conspiracy, he could very well face his retaliation.

Wang Dong had witnessed Fang Bai’s strength firsthand; his own family’s two martial artists at the initial stage of the Profound Level were no match for Fang Bai at all. The thought of being targeted by such a powerful adversary made Wang Dong’s back chill and his legs feel weak.

It was at this time that Wang Dong began to feel some regret, wishing he had not provoked Fang Bai. Such a formidable enemy, once provoked, could become a lifelong nightmare.

"Mom, you must help me!"

The terrified Wang Dong hurriedly found his mother, Jiang Fenglian, and as soon as he saw her, he began to cry and plead.

"Son, why such a look? Has someone bullied you?"

Jiang Fenglian was sitting in the living room of the villa watching television when she saw her son’s dispirited expression, and she asked with a frown.

"Mom, do you remember Fang Bai? The one who hit you that day and took Ye Wumei away—I couldn’t stand it, so I thought about teaching him a lesson, but then..."

"Hmph, that arrogant and despicable brat, he deserves a good lesson! What happened then?"

Jiang Fenglian’s face soured as she recalled the face she found extremely loathsome at the mention of Fang Bai.

After being "humiliated" by Fang Bai that day, Jiang Fenglian and her son returned from the Yuwei Hotel and told Wang Jingzhong an exaggerated and twisted version of the events.

Wang Jingzhong, the current Family Head of the Wang Family, was furious to hear that his wife had been humiliated, yet he wasn’t impulsive. Instead, he decided to send someone to investigate Fang Bai’s background before deciding how to react.

However, before Wang Jingzhong received any information about Fang Bai’s identity, Wang Dong had already lost patience and started acting against Fang Bai.

Wang Dong didn’t dare tell his father about dealing with Fang Bai himself. Otherwise, if Wang Jingzhong had known his son had drawn such a powerful enemy to the Wang Family, he would have severely punished Wang Dong.
