Chapter 5: One Must Not Lack the Heart to Guard Against Others (Fourth Update, First to Arrive, Seeking Collections and Recommendations)

"What? That slut Tang Lijun actually dared to do such a thing?"

Upon hearing her son recount what had just happened, Yang Xiuyu immediately flew into a rage. Her delicate face twisted into a near-monstrous expression, and she no longer cared about maintaining her image as a teacher. A string of vulgar curses spewed out like machine-gun fire.

"Is Feng Bo even a man? To let his wife seduce other men, doesn't he feel ashamed? I always said that family is no good, and it turns out to be true. This Tang Lijun, she reeks of a slutty fox, and who knows how many men she has outside. And Feng Bo, his head must be green with jealousy by now, right?"

It's no wonder Yang Xiuyu reacted so intensely; she was genuinely afraid. At that moment, she felt so weak that even hearing her son's account made her imagine how extremely dangerous the situation her husband had faced was. If they hadn't coincidentally met Principal Tan, and if her son hadn't dragged Principal Tan over to help, their family would have been ruined, and they would never have been able to hold their heads up again.

She couldn't even imagine what life would be like for her family if Feng Bo and Tang Lijun's plans had succeeded.

After cursing for about ten minutes, Yang Xiuyu's mood finally calmed down a bit. Only then did she realize the "great role" her son had played in this: if it weren't for her son, this lucky star, Old Lin would have definitely fallen into the trap today. How fortunate!

"Son, you've always wanted a Sony Walkman, right? We'll buy it tomorrow!" Yang Xiuyu, believing her son had made a significant contribution to the family, didn't hesitate to offer the biggest "reward" she could: her son had been eyeing that Sony Walkman for a long time, but it was too expensive! It was a good product, and it looked exquisite, but the price of over a thousand yuan was far beyond what an ordinary person could afford.

But today, after what happened, Yang Xiuyu decided to splurge. Just for the luck her son had brought to the family, she had to reward him well.

With a tablet and a phone in hand, how could Lin Zheng possibly care about a broken Japanese tape player? Moreover, after working for a few years, Lin Zheng had become a staunch anti-Japanese person, avoiding Japanese products whenever possible. The family wasn't well-off, and it would be crazy to spend over a thousand yuan on a Walkman.

Knowing that this was his mother's way of rewarding him, Lin Zheng was naturally happy. However, he was more concerned about the look of resentment in Feng Bo's eyes when he left. He waved his hand and said, "I don't want the Walkman, Mom. When I left, it seemed like Feng Bo wasn't very willing to give up."

"Not willing to give up? He dares to be unwilling?" Yang Xiuyu was stunned, almost jumping up. If Feng Bo were in front of her now, Teacher Yang would have scratched his face without hesitation. "He dares to be unwilling? What right does he have to be unwilling? He was caught red-handed, and he still dares to be unwilling?"

"This is a deputy-level position, after all," Lin Zheng said with a bitter smile. "If he becomes the vice-principal, he will officially be a government official, like a carp leaping over the dragon gate. It's much better than being just a head of the political education department. Besides, this matter is serious, but it's not that serious... Feng Bo's plot didn't succeed, but we don't have any evidence either. Do you think Principal Tan would support us in pursuing this further?"

"About that..."

Hearing Lin Zheng's words, Yang Xiuyu was also stunned. After careful thought, she realized her son was right. If Feng Bo's plan had succeeded, their family would have been in trouble. At that time, Old Lin would be in a very difficult position. If Feng Bo, that bastard, had succeeded, what would happen to their family? Could they still hold their heads up in the district or in the education system? Lin Zheng's grandfather had been strong all his life; if he heard about this, wouldn't he be furious?

But the problem was that Feng Bo's plan had failed, and they had no evidence. They couldn't do much about him! What kind of world is this? Is there no justice?

Seeing the changing expressions on Yang Xiuyu's face, Lin Zheng secretly sighed with relief and cautiously asked, "By the way, Mom, does Feng Bo have any strong backing? Otherwise, he wouldn't be so arrogant."

"Backing? Of course he has backing," Yang Xiuyu snorted with disdain. "It's said that he's the cousin of Deputy District Chief Ma... The relationship isn't close, but it's rumored that Feng Bo goes out of his way to flatter his cousin-in-law."

Lin Zheng understood: no wonder Feng Bo dared to play such a bold move. He wasn't worried about messing up and getting himself into trouble. Now he understood that Feng Bo felt his backing was strong enough to protect him even if he failed. However...

However... thinking about Feng Bo's backing being a deputy district chief, Lin Zheng couldn't help but feel a headache. The situation was different from what he had expected.

But now that things had come to this, they couldn't retreat and be a coward. Not to mention whether the Lin family had any room to retreat, even if their old man dared to back down at this critical moment, Feng Bo, who had come up with such a devious plan, would immediately seize the opportunity to smear their old man: "You must have done something wrong, otherwise, why would you hide?"

Since you are not righteous, don't blame me for being unrighteous!

"Mom, since Feng Bo has such strong backing and he seems unwilling to give up, do you think he might still play some dirty tricks?" Lin Zheng's eyes flickered as he pretended to be worried and asked his mother.

"Does he dare?!" Yang Xiuyu's eyebrows shot up. Hearing this, she was not only angry but also scared. Now, hearing her son's words, her eyebrows almost reached the sky. "If he's not afraid of losing face, let him spread the word! Let's see how Tang Lijun, that slut, can still show her face! Does Feng Bo think it's good to wear a green hat?"

"You're so smart, Mom, your analysis is spot on," Lin Zheng, knowing that women were not to be provoked at this moment, quickly flattered her. When Yang Xiuyu's face lit up, he whispered, "But as the old saying goes, one must not lack the heart to guard against others."

"Huh? What did you say?" Lin Zheng's words about "one must not lack the heart to guard against others" made Yang Xiuyu shiver.

Her son was right!

Since Feng Bo and his wife were so shameless, they might not hesitate to be even more shameless.
