Chapter 27

"Get up! Don't do this!" Su Nan's eyes burned as he tried to pull his parents to their feet.

But Su Zhenbang slapped him across the face again. "You kneel too! Apologize to Feng Yang and earn his forgiveness."

Liu Huiwan clutched Su Nan's arm and pleaded through tears, "Nan Nan, be good. You're only eighteen this year. You can't go to prison."

With two slap marks on his face, Su Nan watched his parents kneel before his enemy, feeling even more humiliated and enraged. He glared viciously at Feng Yang. "Satisfied now? Is this what you wanted? You killed me in my previous life, and now you want to send me to prison in this one?"

"What?" Feng Jianguo and his wife did not understand what Su Nan meant and instinctively looked at Feng Yang.

Feng Yang explained to his parents, "He was like this before. He kept saying that in his previous life, I repaid kindness with betrayal and abandoned him to marry a woman for wealth and status. Then I supposedly joined forces with that woman to murder him..."

The three members of the Feng Family were speechless. Feng Jianguo said coldly, "I think there's something wrong with that Su Nan's head!"

Still kneeling on the ground, Su Zhenbang and Liu Huiwan nodded again and again, tears and snot streaming down their faces as they echoed, "Yes, yes, there's something wrong with his head. Please, Feng Family, be magnanimous and don't hold it against a child."

"There's nothing wrong with my head!" Su Nan said coldly. "Everything I said is true."

"Who can prove it?" Yang Liu found the whole thing difficult to believe and was so angry that she could barely speak coherently. "You wanted to kill someone over something even children wouldn't believe? If you have mental problems, go see a doctor!"

"And what evidence do you have that I tried to kill someone?" Su Nan had calmed down by then.

Just as Feng Yang had said, he truly had no evidence to prove what had happened in his previous life. But Feng Yang had no evidence that he had deliberately tried to kill him in the haunted house either. The surveillance footage had been destroyed. Based on Feng Yang's word alone, the Feng Family could not threaten him.

Su Nan had been reborn. Since he could not perish together with Feng Yang, he certainly could not stand by and watch Feng Yang live in glory while he went to prison. His life had only just begun, and his future held endless possibilities. He still had parents to honor. He could not throw away his entire life over a scumbag like Feng Yang.

Su Nan made up his mind. He could not waste the opportunity rebirth had given him. He would climb higher and higher, until he reached heights the Feng Family could never attain.

Then, he would repay every grievance with grievance and every hatred with hatred.

Having worked it out, Su Nan suddenly felt as though the sky had opened before him. His gaze swept over Feng Yang, Feng Jianguo and his wife, and Feng Fei one by one, as though bidding farewell to the person he had been in his previous life.

"Feng Yang, believe it or not, I really did save your life in my previous life. Because of that, I lost my parents, was disfigured and crippled, and could not even attend university. My whole life was ruined. In the end, you abandoned me and caused my death."

Su Nan traced Feng Yang's excessively handsome features with his gaze. This was the lover he had once risked his life to protect, yet Feng Yang had still been unable to resist the temptation of wealth and status. In the end, they had turned against each other.

"I'm not crazy, and there's nothing wrong with me mentally. Everything I said truly happened. Even if none of you remember it, I do. I remember every experience of being humiliated, beaten, threatened with videos, and betrayed by the person I loved. They cling to me like maggots on bone, carved into my heart and soul."

Su Nan felt very calm. "You saved my life in this life. I won't deny that. But I saved your life in my previous life too. As far as I'm concerned, we're even on that matter. But I still haven't moved past the fact that you and your wife killed me."

"But don't worry. I, Su Nan, distinguish clearly between gratitude and resentment. Every wrong has its perpetrator, every debt its debtor. The one who wronged me in my previous life was you, not the other members of the Feng Family. If I seek revenge, I'll only come after you. I won't deliberately harm anyone else in the Feng Family. Don't think I'm that vile."

Deep down, Su Nan hated Feng Yang for coveting vanity and wealth. He hated Feng Yang for allowing his wife to kill him for the sake of wealth and status. He wanted revenge and had even considered perishing together with Feng Yang. But every method he used would be aboveboard. Su Nan had decided that he was not Feng Yang. He would not be one person to someone's face and another behind their back. Even if one day he truly did move against Feng Yang, he should at least let Feng Yang understand why before he died.

He, Su Nan, should not become the kind of person he despised most for the sake of revenge.

After saying that, Su Nan said no more. He bent down and helped Su Zhenbang and Liu Huiwan up from the ground. "Dad, Mom, let's go."

Perhaps the sorrow radiating from Su Nan was too heavy and too real. Feng Jianguo and his wife, as well as Su Zhenbang and Liu Huiwan, were all left stunned. Even Feng Fei, who had kept clamoring about calling the police, fell silent.

They watched in silence as the three members of the Su Family supported one another and left. Yang Liu finally came back to herself. "That child definitely has mental problems."

Chapter 27

Yang Liu turned to look at her husband and son. "As I recall, people with mental problems can't attend university, right?"

It was not that Yang Liu was being cruel. She simply could not rest easy knowing that someone mentally unstable, someone capable of harming others and who had already acted on it, was being allowed near her son.

"Mom, forget it!" Su Nan had been granted some inexplicable luck by the Heavenly Dao. Anyone who deliberately targeted him could easily suffer backlash. Feng Yang did not want anything to happen to his family. He only wanted them to stay far away from Su Nan. As for Su Nan himself—

"He can't beat me, he's not as smart as I am, and there's no need to even mention his family background. I'm not afraid of his schemes, and if we face each other head-on, he's no match for me either. Don't worry." Feng Yang truly did not take Su Nan seriously.

Admittedly, Su Nan was protected by the luck of the Heavenly Dao, and dealing with him would be troublesome. But if Feng Yang truly wanted to do it, it was not impossible. In his previous life, he had partnered with vengeful ghosts for more than twenty years, testing countless methods of deceiving the Heavenly Dao and even schemes aimed at it. Though he had ultimately failed, it was not without results. The fact that he had been able to defy fate and return to twenty years ago with the Vengeful Ghost Talisman was the best proof.

So long as a little nobody like Su Nan, who relied on the Heavenly Dao's protection to flourish, did not provoke him, Feng Yang could let him be. But if they truly clashed, it was not certain who would be the one to suffer.

What made Feng Yang especially curious, however, was that the Heavenly Dao was merciless. Why did it favor Su Nan alone?

By Feng Yang's standards of beauty, whether in appearance, personality, temperament, or intelligence, Su Nan was far inferior to Yin Li from their family. It seemed the Heavenly Dao's taste was not much better either!
