Duan Qianming suddenly strode forward, yanked up his son’s collar, and his expression turned deadly serious.

“What did you just say? Rong Qi? You’re saying the person who crippled you is Rong Qi?” Duan Qianming questioned.

Duan Qianming pulled out his phone and found a long-buried photo. He showed it to Duan Shujie and asked, “Is this her?”

Duan Shujie looked at the photo with a dull expression, nodding, and responded, “Yes, it’s her. What’s the matter, Dad?”

“You imbecile! Are you trying to get our whole family killed?” Duan Qianming yelled and slapped his son’s face. The foreboding feeling in Duan Qianming’s heart was realized.

Duan Shujie held his cheek, looking incredulously at his father, and asked, “What’s the big deal about Rong Qi? Isn’t she just a country b.u.mpkin? Even if she is the daughter of the Rong family, she’s no threat. She crippled me, and you’re hitting me?!”

“You!” Duan Qianming turned around, pointing a finger at Duan Shujie, wishing he could slap him again.

“Do you even know who Rong Qi is? You offended her, and you think you have a long life to spare? It’s lucky for you she didn’t take your life right there and then!”

Duan Qianming’s mind was racing with a thousand ways to remedy the situation, uncertain if the influential figure would forgive them.

Seeing his father so anxious, Duan Shujie finally began to feel afraid. His voice trembling, he asked, “Dad, who exactly is this Rong Qi? Why are you so wary of her?”

Duan Qianming looked at him gravely, “I don’t want to tell you more than necessary, but you must know that the Duan family as it is today was supported by her. She could easily destroy our entire family with just a word!”

“What? But isn’t she just a student?” Duan Shujie asked.

“A student?” Duan Qianming frowned, puzzled. “Impossible! She must be on some covert mission. Anyway, remember this, if you ever see Rong Qi again, walk the other way!”

Just as Duan Qianming finished speaking, he suddenly remembered what Duan Shujie had said, “You just said Rong Qi is next door? And your mother went to make a fuss?”

“Uh…” Duan Shujie nodded fearfully.

“d.a.m.n it!” Duan Qianming stormed off toward the adjacent room with a flick of his sleeve.

Seeing his father deeply troubled, Duan Shujie panicked and quickly scrambled towards the door. He thought, ‘If my family was ruined because of me, I would never be able to live it down.’

In the next-door ward, Mrs. Duan was still rolling up her sleeves, cursing Rong Qi, “Humph, Rong Qi, you might avoid trouble today, but not forever. Even if you don’t come out now, believe me, it will only take me minutes to bring down the Rong family. You’ll be kneeling before me begging for mercy, you…”

Mrs. Duan was cut off mid-sentence as someone grabbed her arm. She shook off the grip and shouted, “Let go! Do you know who I am? If you don’t want to die with Rong Qi, then get lost!”

However, Mrs. Duan was met with a resounding slap.

Having just arrived, Duan Qianming couldn’t believe his ears hearing the foolish Mrs. Duan ranting, wishing he could just faint on the spot.

Mrs. Duan covered her face, blinking several times before recognizing that it was Duan Qianming who had struck her. Furious, she lashed out, “Why are you hitting me? Save your energy for that woman! She’s the one who crippled our son!”

“Shut your mouth!” Duan Qianming roared and then suddenly turned and kneeled before Rong Qi.

“I apologize, Ms. Rong. It is my fault for not disciplining my son and wife properly. Please be magnanimous and forgive their offenses.”

The head of the Duan family, the man whom Duan Shujie saw as his support, whom Mrs. Duan used to boast and intimidate others, was now kneeling before Rong Qi!

Everyone at the scene couldn’t believe their eyes..
