Chapter 1385: Chapter 1384: Wencheng and Ziyang Injured

The workers have started a riot.

There’s no reason for the surrounding families not to hear such a commotion.

Every household nearby heard the sounds from this place. They peeked out cautiously but didn’t open their doors, quietly observing the situation at the Feng Family.

The Feng Family is considered a prominent member of the elite families; it’s said to have evolved from an aristocratic lineage, with extremely strict standards, and their upbringing and manners are very commendable—reputation precedes reality indeed.

Sure enough, wealthy families invariably earn some illicit money and engage in unsavory activities.

Even the Feng Family among the elites is no exception.

The surrounding affluent merchants started lamenting one after another, completely forgetting they were also part of the wealthy class, and indeed part of the crowd of workers shouting and fighting.

Indeed, human nature tends to lean towards sympathy, humans always inadvertently sympathize with the weak, a fact that cannot be stopped nor truly avoided.

...

A fight broke out?

Not far away, Gu Tong couldn’t help but furrow her brow.

She began to contemplate ways to respond.

There’s no need to guess; the Wei Family is definitely behind this scheme, and the Feng Family is unjustly suffering.

However, the most troublesome aspect of this incident is that these people are not workers of the Feng Family but of the Wei Family. They all clearly understand the origins of this matter, yet they are still led by the nose by the Wei Family.

To put it bluntly, this is the Wei Family’s cleverness.

This method, however, doesn’t quite seem like the actions of the Wei Family.

According to Gu Tong’s knowledge, none of the Wei Family members are particularly brainy.

Such extremely despicable tactics do somewhat resemble Gong Qingwan’s way of handling things.

Of course, now is clearly not the time to dwell on these matters; the better consideration for Gu Tong is how to resolve this issue.

Wait.

The workers are rioting.

Some snippets suddenly surfaced in Gu Tong’s mind.

...

Mother Feng Shulan sat on the sofa, holding the phone in one hand, her well-shaped brows knitted in a frown, and she said, "Foolish, knowing full well this is the Wei Family’s ploy, yet you ran right into it. Though our family isn’t directly involved in this matter, forcing the workers’ hand ultimately falls under our responsibility, and spreading such news would be incredibly unpleasant. The Feng Family’s hundreds of years of reputation would be tarnished!"

The person on the other end of the line said something else.

Feng Shulan tightened her brows and said, "In Wencheng, even Ziyang got hurt. Your distress is understandable; it’s only natural. Still, this issue will be determined by the weak—they are weak, making us appear numerous and overpowering. It’s us who suffer the loss. Enough, don’t concern yourself further; tomorrow I’ll call Feng Sixiu back to take care of the family matters."

After hanging up the phone, Feng Shulan sat elegantly on the sofa, her face full of worry, seemingly apprehensive.

Gu Tong happened to pass by the living room, holding a glass of milk, and she said, "Mom, did something happen?"

In a previous life, Gu Tong did not know about Feng Shulan’s relationship with the Feng Family, nor about this lifetime’s incident in Shoucheng.

Feng Shulan deliberately concealed it from her, waving her hand and saying, "A relative of the Feng Family, there’s a minor issue in a project. It’s nothing serious; I’ll call your aunt to deal with it tomorrow."

Since her mother was unwilling to elaborate, Gu Tong didn’t ask further.

After all, it’s just other relatives, nothing serious, and based on her mother’s capability, she definitely has a way to solve it.

Later, Gu Tong did not know the outcome of this matter’s handling.
