Hearing Lai Heping’s accusation, everyone was incredulous, yet with no other leads, they were inclined to follow the trail he had provided.
In truth, Lai Heping’s motive for offering this information was hardly charitable. Since Lü Yulan had been returned with a diagnosed mental breakdown, Lai Heping viewed Jiang Yun of the Jiang family as the root of all these troubles. While he also harbored resentment toward Feng Qingqing, her immense physical strength and her relationship with He Yongan made it impossible for him to retaliate for the time being. Furthermore, he believed that had it not been for Jiang Yun’s ulterior motives and her underhanded influence on Lü Yulan, the latter would never have dared to provoke Feng Qingqing—the catalyst for the series of unbearable consequences she now faced.
Yes, even now, Lai Heping did not truly believe Lü Yulan was insane. In his view, it was more likely she was feigning madness just to escape back to the city, fleeing a place filled with such agonizing memories. Regardless, the actions of the Jiang family—and Jiang Yun’s in particular—were unforgivable, and he loathed them with every fiber of his being. Upon hearing rumors that Jiang Yun had eloped with a mountain hunter, he had rushed to share the news with everyone.
