Tao Guotin got in the car obediently after watching what happened to his friends, he didn't even dare to make so much as a peep. Kong Kun and Shao Li Jun were beaten back and blue by their parents, their cellphones were snatched and both of them were warned by their overly threatening parents that if they dared to make trouble from now on they will break their legs and send them to the military school even if it meant stuffing them into a suitcase and paying extra tip to avoid the bag being checked on the airport.

Though Fan Ehuang and Mei Xing's parents were calm, he could sense that it was simply the calm before the storm. Both girls were taken away by their parents after they thanked Song Yan for her help and for saving the worthless children even if they were trying to invite death stupidly.

Tao Guotin was the only one who escaped being beaten in the parking lot but he was sure that after he was dragged to the Tao house, he would be served very 'nicely'.

His prediction came true very soon. The Tao family lost variable strength after old master Tao and Tao Guotin's father died but even then many enemies from the past kept troubling them, thus old madam Tao moved from the capital and handed the business to her grandnephew to handle, she trusted Fu Yu Sheng and knew that he would never do anything to betray her.

She was worried that old master Tao's rivals would target her grandson that why she always restricted Tao Guotin from going anywhere alone the more she stopped him, the more reckless Tao Guotin became but this time this grandson of hers really went against the heavens. Unlike the other parents whom Fu Yu Sheng told that the tomb had many hidden traps and pits that caused the injuries to their children, he told the truth to Old Madam Tao.

Unlike the modern-day parents, she was very superstitious and feared the wrath of the heavens more than she feared the humans. So, when she found out that her grandson actually had the guts to go to a place like that, she almost lost half of her life then and there, if not for Fu Yu Sheng repeatedly telling her that Tao Guotin was fine and not even a scratch was on his face, did she calm down.

But that didn't mean that she wasn't worried, the entire time she kept pacing outside the entrance door with her helper and kept staring at the driveway waiting for Fu Yu Sheng to bring her overly rebellious grandson back.

Madam Tao watched her mother-in-law pace with a worried expression and her anger soared even more. The old madam was already old enough to retire but because Tao Guotin was young and no one was here to take care of their family anymore, the old madam was still pushing her old body for the sake of her grandson.

She did everything without the slightest bit of complaint and asked her grandson for only one thing and that was —— to not make trouble that was all she asked him to do and yet that boy…. He actually went to the old tomb which was infested by ghosts! Just wait! Once he comes back home, she will teach him a good lesson.

Making his old mother and grandmother worry for him at the age of seventeen. If she knew that Tao Guotin was going to be this troublesome then she would have rather given birth to a docile daughter!

The two women stared at the driveway with worried gazes and their patience was finally rewarded when a black car drove inside and came to a stop in front of them. The first to come out was Fu Yu Sheng, who bowed to Old madam Tao and Madam Tao, after him, Song Yan got down from the car with Fu Chen in her arms as she greeted Madam Tao warmly.

Madam Tao had long heard that it was Song Yan, who saved her son. She didn't know how she did it and where she got to learn the majestic arts either but as long as she knew that Song Yan was her son's saviour, it was enough. She descended the marble stairs with a charming smile as she held Song Yan's hands in hers. " Thank you, Thank you so much for saving that stupid boy…if you didn't…  I...I didn't know what I would have done."

Song Yan stared at the pristine face that still had traces of youth and then remembered the old and saggy face with wild grey hair covering the thin face.  Fortunately, she saved Tao Guotin or else the tragedy of the past would have happened again.

"It's what I was supposed to do sister in law, I couldn't have left little Guotin in the tomb alone, after all, he is my nephew as well." Song Yan's voice no longer had the same coldness it had when she was conversing with others in fact when talking with Madam Tao, her voice was full of jolliness and she looked rather fond of madam Tao. Her reason was simple after all, madam Tao once suffered through the same pain she suffered from, even though she was dead and was no different than a ghost with no feelings, she almost lost control when she watched Fu Chen die.

She was by his side till the end but she couldn't touch her son nor could she save him, she couldn't even call the ambulance for her son. She could only watch her son's eyes slowly turn dim and the life vanishing from them, the pain that she felt that day was enough to make her lose every reasoning and if not for master Gu stopping her, she would have really destroyed everything in her path to kill Song Lan and her mother.

So, compared to others she was much closer to Madam Tao.
