Chapter 316: Chapter 303: So cruel that even criticizing oneself

The more Fan Wenxuan thought about it, the more he believed it was best to come to an agreement sooner rather than later.

This serious mood of Fan Wenxuan gave Ning Feng a weighty feeling, with Fan’s expression and tone so earnest and intense, Ning Feng suddenly felt heavier.

From the moment Ning Feng met Fan Wenxuan, he had never seen him so serious and sincere.

Ning Feng had every reason to think that what Fan Wenxuan was talking about was a very important matter and with an extreme urgency.

“Yes, sir, I understand.”

Saying this, Ning Feng then turned and left.

While Fan Wenxuan was pacing around slowly with a smile on his face.

Once Chu Jinnian returned and Fan Wenxuan arranged for his new daughter in law, his mind would be free and he wouldn’t have to bear his constant stares.

After this, he could do anything he wanted without worrying about getting into any trouble, right?

How clever, truly brilliant!

Fan Wenxuan laughed heartily again and again.

That night, under the moonlit willow branches, a cool breeze blew and birds fluttered their wings, flying up from the tree branches and disappearing into the endless night.

Just as the entire world was immersed in a deep sleep, everything was tranquil around it.

Suddenly, a “thump, thump” sound echoed, the sound wasn’t loud, but in the silent night, it seemed unusually harsh.

This noise woke up Feng Yongkang.

At first, he thought it was just the wind rustling the tree branches, but upon closer listening, the sound was rhythmic and remained consistent in volume.

Moreover, this sound resembled knocking on the door.

In the middle of the night…

Feng Yongkang furrowed his brow unwilling to get up, yet the noise continued, disturbing his sleep. The “thump thump” noise occupied his mind.

Unable to bear it anymore, Feng Yongkang got out of bed to investigate.

There indeed was wind blowing outside, but it was just a gentle breeze that couldn’t even stir the tree branches. This commotion was clearly not created by the wind.

Yet the noise seemed to be coming from the front door. Listening closely, it didn’t sound like knocking on the door but like something knocking on the ground.

The noise was steady, neither too fast nor too slow, but it was deep and dull that each thump felt like a strike on a heart, making it unbearable.

Squinting his eyes, he noticed a faint light peeking from the gap under the door.

After much pondering, Feng Yongkang finally gathered enough courage, lit a lantern and headed to the front door.

“Who’s outside?” Feng Yongkang asked tentatively.

The wind quickly blew his words away, yet his only response was the incessant “thumping.”

Feng Yongkang felt a sinking feeling within him, with one hand clutching the lantern and the other hand pulling at the door bolt, he unbolted the door.

As he opened the door and peered out in the lantern light, there was nothing outside the door and the “thump thump” sound had vanished into thin air. There was only a scared wildcat lying outside, which was startled by Feng Yongkang opening the door and the lantern light. The wildcat dashed off with a “whoosh” sound, jumped onto the wall and disappeared.

Could it be that the noise was created by the wildcat?

Feng Yongkang was uncertain, yet it seemed like the only plausible explanation at the time. So, he shut the door and bolted it again.
