"You, you..." Zhou Yufei's heart pounded wildly, her body temperature skyrocketing.

Chen Yang said nothing, just stared at her with a half-smile.

Perhaps not knowing what else to say, Zhou Yufei fled toward the bathroom, tossing a sentence over her shoulder, "I, I'm going to take a shower first!"

A shower? Holy shit! This woman can't be serious, can she? Chen Yang helplessly rubbed his nose and walked over to the water dispenser to pour a glass of water.

On the adjacent TV cabinet was a photo of Zhou Yufei with a resolute man in a martial uniform.

Is this that Sixth Grade Martial General? Chen Yang muttered to himself.

Although he was also in the Martial Department, Chen Yang had never seen this man. Aside from the sheer size of the Martial Department, this was largely because he was stationed at the Hanyun Valley border year-round and rarely participated in departmental activities. Besides, there was no shortage of Sixth Grade Martial Generals; recognizing every single one of them was an extremely difficult task.

When he thought about how this man had traded his own sister's happiness for a promotion, Chen Yang's impression of him soured.

A Martial General who's solely focused on climbing the ranks… could a person like that fight a war properly?

With that thought, Chen Yang decided to have Yang Hu investigate this guy and see what he was really about.

After finishing his glass of water, Chen Yang stood up to leave. Saying he would stay the night was just a tease; he had absolutely no other improper thoughts.

"Ah, that's much better, but my head still hurts a bit!"

Having finished her shower, Zhou Yufei walked out and stretched lazily.

When she saw Chen Yang staring at her, dumbfounded, Zhou Yufei finally realized the situation. Her face flushed red in an instant. She turned and walked toward the kitchen. "I, I'll go make some sobering soup!"

"You should get some rest. I'm leaving now!" How could Chen Yang dare to stay? He couldn't keep his composure around her, so leaving was the best strategy.

Then, Chen Yang rushed out the door.

Zhou Yufei stood alone at the kitchen entrance, feeling both relieved and a little disappointed.

He just took one look at me and ran off? Am I not attractive enough? That makes no sense! I'm good-looking and even drunk! An absolute prize! How could that guy have so much self-control?

Zhou Yufei gave a self-deprecating laugh. He really is a good man. It just makes me seem so shameless in comparison.

…

「The next day.」

Chen Yang was eating breakfast when Luo Sulan stormed over, pointed at him, and demanded, "Did you go to the Red Romance Club yesterday? And have you been there several times?"

Chen Yang looked up, astonished, then glanced at Qin Mo, who was eating with her head down. Clearly, Fan Xiaoxian's attempt to talk her down had been completely useless.

Qin Qiu put down her utensils and stared at Chen Yang indifferently.

Chen Yang didn't argue, admitting openly, "I went, but it was to watch the underground boxing matches! Qin Mo can prove it!"

Qin Mo, head still bowed, waved her hands repeatedly. "I don't know anything! Don't ask me!"

Chen Yang was speechless.

"You're still making excuses at a time like this?" Luo Sulan roared.

Chen Yang rolled his eyes, exasperated. "What am I making excuses for? I have a clear conscience!"

"Qiu, you have to believe me!"

Qin Qiu said nothing, simply standing up and leaving on her own.

This is… Chen Yang was speechless. This misunderstanding was getting out of hand!

"Do you take us all for fools? What else is there to do at a place like that besides soliciting prostitutes? Watch underground boxing? You loser sure know how to spin a yarn!" Luo Sulan stood with one hand on her hip, the other pointing at Chen Yang. "Get out of here right now, and never come back! It's one thing to be useless, but now your conduct is indecent too! Are you even a man?"

"Xiaomo, you have to tell them the truth for me!" Chen Yang said, staring at Qin Mo. Right now, only his sister-in-law could prove his innocence.

"I'm off to school!"

Qin Mo left without even a glance at Chen Yang.

Chen Yang was left speechless again. Are you kidding me?! What is with this family? Are they determined to hound me to my grave?

Chen Yang couldn't stay any longer and left dejectedly.

"Get out! If you dare set foot in this house again, I'll break your legs!" Luo Sulan bellowed ferociously.

After leaving Xiangshan Villa, Chen Yang went straight to the Xue Family estate in Lingjin City, where Yang Hu was already waiting.

As one of the eight major families of Lingjin City, the Xue Family estate was like a castle, standing ostentatiously and luxuriously in the West Suburb of Lingjin City.

In front of the three-to-four-meter-high gate, Yang Hu threw a kick. The gate, which weighed several hundred pounds, exploded inward with a deafening CRASH. The ground itself seemed to tremble from the blast!

The sudden explosion made the members of the Xue Family, who were eating breakfast in the main hall, change their expressions drastically. They all shot up from their seats and turned toward the gate. Even from a distance, they could see a cloud of dust billowing in the air.

"Who is it? Who dares cause trouble at my Xue Family's home?" Xue Wenlong, his chest wrapped in bandages, roared furiously.

Xue Gang, dressed in black brocade, frowned deeply. For some reason, a shadow of unease had crept into his heart.

"I'll go take a look!" Xue Wenlong's third uncle, Xue Zhiyang, rose with a grim expression and headed toward the gate.

As he did, two young figures were already striding in, coming into everyone's view.

It was obvious that the loud crash from a moment ago was inextricably linked to these two.

Xue Wenlong's expression changed in an instant.

It's them! He would never forget the humiliation he suffered at the hotel yesterday. They actually dared to come?! Heh… Xue Wenlong smirked; so they were people who kept their word.

Seeing the look on Xue Wenlong's face, Xue Gang frowned and asked, "Wenlong, are these the two reckless fools?"

"The very same," Xue Wenlong sneered.

So, one of these two was the person who called yesterday, threatening to make the entire Xue Family disappear from Lingjin City?

Xue Gang scoffed. He had truly never seen someone so arrogant and presumptuous.
