Urban Evil Suppression: Incorporating the Stone Hard Template

Faced with his father-in-law Chu Tianxiong's questioning, Ling Feng didn't know how to answer.

Taking a few deep breaths of mental nourishment, I finally managed to temporarily suppress the frustration that had been building up between my brows for days.

With a wry smile, he said, "Dad, don't just criticize me. Haven't you been holding your breath these past few days too?"

"Yes! Who told me to have such a wonderful daughter?" Chu Tianxiong didn't deny what Ling Feng said.

He shook his head with a self-deprecating laugh, turning his gaze to the deep night outside the window:

"Ultimately, it's my fault as a father; I didn't raise her well."

Her years of busy business have fostered a naive and romantic nature, making her unable to distinguish right from wrong.

Didn't that beast Feng Bin cause enough harm to the Chu family back then? Just because of that so-called old relationship...

Not only did she almost get herself into trouble, but I, at my age, also got beaten up, and even... sigh..."

Recalling the night he was beaten by Feng Bin, Chu Tianxiong was so angry that his liver ached.

The rest... I really can't even go on, it's just too embarrassing!

After pausing for a moment, he remembered the purpose of his visit.

Suppressing his anger, he spoke up for his daughter:

"Feng! You know, Lianxin's nature isn't actually bad, just like that beast Feng Bin said..."

She's just too naive and innocent, and easily swayed by emotions. I hope you can forgive her this time.

Of course... I know you have something on your mind, and I won't force you.

After all... no one could easily let this go, no matter who it was.

I'm just suggesting you think carefully about the time you've spent together over the past year.

"If... I mean if..."

Chu Tianxiong rubbed his still aching chest and said wearily:

"If you really don't want her anymore, I... I won't blame you, after all, it's all her own fault!"

I just hope you can think this through more carefully before making this decision.

Don't let her one momentary lapse in judgment negate everything about her!

"These days... you've seen it yourself, she's been depressed all the time, and every time she sees you, she's filled with shame."

She wanted to explain and apologize to you, but you always ignored her.

If this continues... I'm really afraid her body won't be able to take it..."

"Dad, I never thought about abandoning her!"

Ling Feng flicked the ash from his cigarette, pushed the ashtray towards Chu Tianxiong, and said with a complicated expression:

"I'm just a little upset, not because I'm angry that she has feelings for Feng Bin."

I've told her before that I don't mind her past.

Who doesn't have a deeply memorable life experience when they're young?

Ling Feng stood up, walked to the window, and looked out at the night view:

What angered me was that she completely disregarded my instructions.

Even after fully understanding Feng Bin's vampire identity, she still chose to believe him.

They ignored my repeated warnings; that's what's bothering me!

"Now it's all right, they know everything Feng Bin did for her was fake."

"Having witnessed Feng Bin's brutality and suffered greatly, did she finally remember how good I was to her?"

Chu Tianxiong sighed, fully understanding the meaning behind Ling Feng's words:

"So what are you thinking now?"

"I don't know!" Ling Feng finished his last puff of cigarette and stubbed it out in the ashtray.

"I'm planning to leave here for a while, to be separated from her temporarily."

It wasn't to deliberately punish her, nor to force her to reflect on herself.

Instead, let's both calm down and think carefully about whether we still need this relationship!

"Sigh... Fine! Your decision... I don't object, maybe it's for the best!"

Chu Tianxiong remained silent for a long time, and finally let out a heavy sigh.

The pain in his chest caused his expression to darken.

"It's good to separate for a while and cool off. It's better than us being stuck in a stalemate because of our grudges."

After saying this, Chu Tianxiong, enduring the pain in his chest, stood up straight.

Ling Feng wanted to reach out to help him, but he waved his hand to stop him: "I'm fine, I can walk by myself!"

When he reached the door and opened it, he turned back and said:

"However, don't leave so soon! Give me some time to comfort Lianxin."

Otherwise... given her current mental state, I'm afraid she might not be able to make sense of things for a while!

"Okay!" Ling Feng nodded, said nothing else, and quietly watched his father-in-law leave.

……

But this wait lasted for three days, and then Chu Lianxin finally came to visit.

Like my father-in-law, I always choose to visit after dinner.

Ling Feng calmly opened the door and stepped aside to let her in.

The two of them chose to sit on the sofa, in the same spot they had taken with the father-in-law three days earlier.

Chu Lianxin clasped her hands tightly together, her head bowed slightly, not daring to look Ling Feng in the eye.

After a long pause, she finally choked out, "I'm sorry!"

"Yes, I have received your apology!" Ling Feng's expression remained calm.

But it was precisely this uneventful calm that made Chu Lianxin feel particularly uncomfortable.

Especially the bittersweet feeling in her heart made her eyes well up with tears:

"Are you... are you already planning to leave me?"

"When did I ever say I didn't want you anymore?" Ling Feng sat up straight and asked back.

"Then why did you leave?"

Didn't your dad tell you?

"I told you..." Chu Lianxin clenched her fists, tried to lift her head, but tears kept streaming down her face.

In the past, if she had shed a tear, Ling Feng would have been the first to wipe it away for her.

Then I hugged her, comforted her, and tried every possible way to make her happy.

But now, he sat there unmoved, his eyes clearly hiding heartache.

Yet he forcefully suppressed the urge to reach out, showing no sign of emotion.

Just like that night when Feng Bin slapped her in public and humiliated her.

Not for any other reason than to remind her that not everyone will feel sorry for her.

Chu Lianxin let her tears fall without reaching out to wipe them away.

She just stared at Ling Feng through teary eyes and sobbed:

"Brother Feng, I know I was out of my mind that night and hurt you."

For the past ten days or so, I've been filled with regret, but I really... really don't want to be separated from you!

Because I'm afraid, afraid that after we break up, you'll never want me again.

I really can change. From now on, I'll listen to everything you say, okay? Let's not break up.

Looking at her remorseful expression, Ling Feng felt a sudden pang in his heart.

I instinctively reached out to comfort him, but as soon as I lifted my hand, I slowly put it back on my knee.

He then calmly asked, "So... what happens after the changes are made?"

"What?" Chu Lianxin was taken aback, not understanding the meaning behind Ling Feng's words for a moment.

Ling Feng handed her two tissues: "So, you're just going to pretend what happened never happened?"
