Zhou Sheng's back ached a bit from leaning against the windowsill for so long.

He rubbed his back and sat down against the wall.

He sighed for a moment.

"The most dangerous place is indeed the safest place; the ancients were right."

A moment of sorrow.

"Which young master lives as miserably as me on his own turf? It's simply outrageous!"

Fox sneered, "You brought this misery on yourself."

The dog owner scoffed, "We're innocent."

Zhou Sheng was displeased upon hearing this.

"Others would risk their lives for their brothers, but I didn't ask you to die with me. What are you complaining about?"

The words had barely left his mouth when the doorbell rang.

Zhou Sheng immediately became alert.

He looked at his cronies.

"Did you order room service?"

Both of them shook their heads.

They're not Zhou Sheng; they wouldn't do something so stupid.

Zhou Sheng said, "Call and ask what happened."

He Yu's call didn't go through, but Zhou Sheng's phone lit up.

A new message notification.

Two words.

[Open the door]

Zhou Sheng stared intently, his eyes rolled back, and in despair, he banged his head against the wall.

"My life is over!"

He Yu and Wang Yue looked at each other in bewilderment.

After hesitating for a moment, He Yu stood up.

"I'll go open the door."

There was no way to retreat.

We can only face it.

Wang Yue comforted Zhou Sheng, "Look on the bright side, maybe Young Master Zong is just tired from driving all day and wants to say goodnight to you before going to sleep?"

Zhou Sheng: "..."

What is this idiot talking about, a bedtime horror story?

That's fucking terrifying.

He would rather be beaten.

The door opened.

Zong Lian's calm, steady, yet extremely authoritative voice came from the doorway.

"One minute."

Zhou Sheng knew that if he didn't go down within a minute, an even worse fate awaited him.

He could only stride forward, ready to face death.

His cronies and friends saw him off at the door, tears streaming down their faces as they waved goodbye.

"brother."

"Take care."
