Chapter 596
The marginal comments made with a cinnabar pen, written in such large characters, each word imbued with intense seriousness, conveyed a single, unambiguous message throughout: you must do this, and if you don’t, the consequences will be dire.

"You mean, I could completely disregard those things, and it wouldn’t matter, right?" Yang Fan asked.
Mr. Fan scoffed, "Completely ignoring them might still lead to some consequences—after all, persisting in wrongdoing will ultimately bring about one’s demise. But you should not take those things too seriously; it’s enough to be aware they exist."
