Qiu Hu and Ning Yizhan were excitedly cultivating their relationship when they heard someone knocking on the door, followed by the sound of the doorknob turning. They didn't even realize that the person was coming in.

Hearing the noise, the two looked up at the door and saw Wei Zhouyu scream and run outside.

Ning Yizhan looked at the woman on top of him, "Who is she?"

"A 16-year-old girl, oh no, this is inappropriate for children, please help me up." She felt that her image as a cold and dignified young lady had collapsed.

Ning Yizhan helped her up. "Where did this child come from?"

“You brought this, A-Yi. Pack your things and leave.” Qiu Hu finally sat up and began to shoo people away.

"You kicked me out as soon as he came back?" Is he so ashamed of being seen by others?

Qiu Hu didn't answer his question and was still urging him to leave, saying, "I'll go down first, you can leave when you come down." She looked in the mirror, straightened her clothes, and went downstairs.

"..."

When Qiu Hu went downstairs, he saw that everyone had returned. He paused for a moment and saw Wei Zhouyu sitting with A Yi, as if they had just finished talking.

"Why are you all back?"

"Oh, we're off work," Qiu Lan replied quickly, then asked cautiously, "Is anyone upstairs?"

"Huh? Yes." The whole room knew. Who knew Wei Zhouyu was such a gossip? Wei Zhouyu felt a little wronged.

"I didn't realize you'd brought a man back so soon, and together..." A-Yi pretended to exaggerate.

"What? We ended up in bed by accident," Qiu Hu admitted without being asked.

"I haven't even said anything yet! You're already in bed. What are you planning to do? Zhou Yu, did you see what happened?"

Wei Zhouyu then nodded.

"Fine, you bring a man back, and you're even planning to do something inappropriate for children. Sure enough, men are no good. Can't you control yourself?" A-Yi had already heard Qiu Hu's voice coming down. He looked up at her wearing a bathrobe and felt dizzy. He was so disappointed in his young lady. They had only been together for a short time.

Qiu Lan also looked dejected, while Wei Zhouyu was afraid that her mistress would blame her.

"...What are you doing? We didn't do anything."

"That's because we came back in time. If we had come back any later, maybe in ten months I would have been calling her 'little miss' or 'little master'."

"...No, no, what are you doing!"

Just then, Ning Yizhan came downstairs and saw three women surrounding his precious child with complaining tones. He immediately rushed over, grabbed her wrist, and asked, "What are you doing?"

Ayi had long disliked him, always trying to steal Qiu Hu from her. "I haven't even asked you yet, what are you doing here?"

"I came because I wanted to." Ning Yizhan's cold voice came. He had disliked A-Yi for a long time and always wanted to stop him from finding Qiu Hu. Now there were two more people with him, but he knew that Qiu Hu was more responsive to gentle persuasion than force, so his tone became innocent, "A-Hu, they don't seem to welcome me. What did I do wrong? And who are they? Why are they so mean to you?"

Sure enough, this tactic worked. "Ayi, don't be so fierce. Just now, Awan and I were surrounded and he appeared and saved us. I brought him back." Turning to Ning Yizhan, her tone softened. "They're all staying here now. They weren't being mean to me; they were just concerned about me."

"What? You've been surrounded?" The three women were very worried upon hearing Qiu Hu's words. "Are you injured?"

"It's a minor injury, nothing serious, you don't need to worry."

"I've applied the medicine to her."

"Who dares to attack you? Do they think we don't exist?" Ayi hadn't seen such a scene in a long time, and Qiu Hu was even injured.

"You still let this man apply the medicine for you?" Ayi grasped this key point.

“Miss, is it because this man saved you and applied medicine to your wounds that you’re being so nice to him? Don’t be love-struck; men don’t deserve sympathy.” Ayi said, stamping her foot. Even Qiu Lan, who didn’t get along with Ayi, nodded in agreement.

Qiu Hu turned around and tugged at the corner of his mouth, signaling them to shut up.

"Ring ring ring," Qiu Hu's phone rang. It was Awan. She picked it up and answered, "Hello, Brother Awan, how are you?"

“Miss, I’m fine. I called you to tell you about the attack. It was the Lin family of Mucheng who did it, but it doesn’t seem to be the third branch of the Lin family.”

"It's alright, I'll just ask Lin Ning anyway." Anyone who has known her knows her temperament: direct and straightforward, she doesn't waste time.

Ning Yizhan overheard these words and asked, "Lin Ning, from the third branch of the Lin family, do you know him?"

“He was my classmate before, but he used to have a crush on me,” Qiu Hu explained to him. “He was the leader of the gang that came here to steal last time.”

"It's him!" As if he had just thought of something, Ning Yizhan was stunned. In fact, Lin Ning was his cousin. Back then, Lin Hongsen married Ning Yizhan's cousin Ning Xin. The two families were enemies and neither of them agreed. However, Lin Hongsen still disregarded everyone's objections and married Ning Xin. After that, he withdrew from the competition for the succession. Not long after, they had a son named Lin Ning.

Qiu Hu searched through his contacts for a long time before finally finding Lin Ning's number and dialing it. "Beep beep beep..." The call connected, and a male voice came from the other end, "Qiu Hu? Why did you suddenly decide to call me!"

"Lin Ning, stop pretending. You broke into my house to steal, and now you've even brought people to gang up on me and try to steal my necklace, is that it?"

These words stung Lin Ning, causing him to stand up from his chair. A look of disbelief crossed his handsome face. "When did I hire people to attack you?"

“If it’s not your Lin family, then who else is eyeing my necklace? I’m warning you, if anything happens to my people, I won’t let you off the hook. And why did you steal my necklace in the first place?”

"It really wasn't me. This must be the eldest son's side doing this, slandering me." "As for the necklace, I can't tell you yet, but you'll find out later."

"Okay, thank you for telling me all this." After saying that, she immediately hung up the phone.

"..." Lin Ning sat down again, in a great mood, humming a song, propping her head up with one hand. Her charming movements made the women around her in the club swoon. She was decisive and efficient; the hint had been given to her, and now it was up to her to know how to use it.

Upon receiving the news, Qiu Hu was overjoyed. "We have a direction now. The Lin family's eldest branch is probably the one cooperating with the Colin family."

"I heard you." Next time, he'll definitely be one step ahead of everyone else, "Don't go looking for that guy surnamed Lin anymore." Because he'll get jealous.

"I heard it too. If you can't find out, you can't find out!" A-Yi said sarcastically to Ning Yizhan.

“Ah Yi, it was he who found out about the Lin family in Mucheng first, otherwise we would still be in the dark.”

The woman gently pulled Ning Yizhan along, saying, "Let's go, I'll see you out." The two then walked out of the villa, and the three people behind them looked at Ning Yizhan's brisk steps with a smug expression.
