Yinghao Pavilion.

Leopard called Qin Yiheng: "Boss, when do you have time to come over? Hongjiao wants to see you."

Just as Qin Yiheng had expected, Hongjiao was in good health. In just four or five days, she had already recovered most of her health. Judging from this, she should be able to talk to people without any problems.

Qin Yiheng readily agreed: "Well, it's time to remove her wires anyway, so you guys go to the address we agreed on first."

The so-called address is that villa.

The Black Tiger Gang already had many businesses in Chongqing. After Leopard established Yinghao Pavilion, they expanded their operations further. This villa was one of the newly acquired properties. To avoid any trouble caused by the property being traced back to Yinghao Pavilion, they would have someone create a fake property so that most people wouldn't know who the owner was or who the property belonged to.

Leopard personally led Hongjiao to the villa.

Zhou Xu had already led his people to clean up the place, and the place that hadn't been lived in for a long time now had a lively atmosphere and looked quite decent, without any sense of restraint.

While Qin Yiheng was away, the group gathered together to talk.

"Sister Hong, I think I'm still not practicing the 'shifting and changing steps' technique you mentioned last time correctly. Is there something wrong with it? Just now, when I was tidying up, I accidentally grabbed a glass and it fell to the ground and broke. I didn't even have time to catch it..." Zhou Xu humbly asked for advice.

Zhou Xu admired Hong Jiao for daring to fight Qin Yiheng, and he was also easy to get along with, so he quickly became familiar with Hong Jiao.

In the entire Yinghao Pavilion, Zhou Xu was arguably the person with the best relationship with Hong Jiao.

After all, the leopard is the leader, and he has a lot to do, so he has to show some of the leopard's imposing presence.

Others, unaware of Hongjiao's background, mostly kept their distance from her.

Zhou Xu asked Hong Jiao, and they were the same age. To show respect, Zhou Xu took the initiative to call her "sister".

As for "Shifting Steps," it was a reward that Zhou Xu got by calling "Sister." Although the name sounded nice, it was just for training speed and reaction time.

Before Hongjiao could say anything, Leopard immediately contradicted her, waving his hand and saying, "You're just clumsy, it has nothing to do with what you learn or practice."

Hongjiao chuckled softly.

Because of the injury on her neck, Hongjiao's voice was very deep and her original timbre was unrecognizable.

But she must be a cheerful woman, with a touch of stubbornness.

"Brother Leopard, don't be so disrespectful to your brother. I've learned my lesson, and it's all for the sake of protecting you better," Zhou Xu said, dissatisfied.

"Okay, I appreciate your good intentions, but don't ruin Hongjiao's reputation." Leopard praised earnestly, but his eyes were full of sarcasm.

The people around her laughed, and Hongjiao kept her lips pursed.

When Qin Yiheng arrived, he heard laughter and cheerful chatter coming from inside the house.

"What's making you so happy?" he asked, pushing open the door.

Upon seeing him, everyone unconsciously fell silent. It was only a second later that they seemed to come to their senses and realize that Qin Yiheng wasn't so scary after all. They slowly relaxed, but they stopped laughing.

"Boss."

"Boss..."

After exchanging greetings, everyone...

“Hongjiao has something to say to you, so we won’t be in your way anymore. There are two people downstairs, so we’ll head back to Yinghao Pavilion first. If you’re done, you can come to Yinghao Pavilion, or you can call me again.”

After Leopard finished speaking with Qin Yiheng, he led the group away, giving the two of them some space to be alone.

Hongjiao was still dressed in red, with a red scarf around her neck to cover her wound. She looked capable and refreshing, much more composed than when she first met him, when he was irritable and arrogant.

After only she and Qin Yiheng remained, Hongjiao stood opposite Qin Yiheng and knelt down.

"Please accept my bow, my benefactor."

Qin Yiheng accepted this generous gift.

After Hongjiao stood up, he said, "Alright, now that we've done our prayers, we're friends. Let's forget about this now."

Qin Yiheng's understanding of righteousness made Hong Jiao even more ashamed, her face flushed with embarrassment. How could she have listened to Chu Wei and blindly come to want this person's life?

It is said that anyone who has gone through a life-or-death experience can be completely transformed, and this is certainly true.

But Hongjiao still felt it was inappropriate. How could a life-saving grace be settled with just one bow?

She wasn't a very eloquent person, but she silently thought to herself that she must repay Qin Yiheng.

Qin Yiheng saw her expression but didn't say much. He simply pointed to his neck and said, "Let me check the injury."

Hongjiao took off the silk scarf.

The wound has almost healed, and the stitches can be removed. However, it will take some time before it is fully healed.

Qin Yiheng treated her for a while, gave her some simple instructions, and then looked at her arm, which also needed to be rested.

"You should know the current situation. Chu Wei can't know about your existence, so..."

“I know, I will stay in Yinghao Pavilion and serve my benefactor whenever he needs me.”

Before Qin Yiheng could finish speaking, Hong Jiao hurriedly expressed her opinion, saying that she was quite used to Yinghao Pavilion, where she could practice martial arts with others and talk to them. She also mentioned that the people there had very good personalities and she felt very comfortable with it.

But as the conversation progressed, things started to go wrong.

"...A gentleman takes his revenge even after ten years. I will definitely take Chu Wei's life with my own hands!"

She touched the wound on her neck, and in an instant, a murderous intent surged within Hong Jiao.

Qin Yiheng understood and comprehended this hatred, and he would not stop Hong Jiao from seeking revenge when the time came.

but……

"If you blindly pursue a goal, it may seem like you're striving for progress, but you'll just keep moving forward without looking at the road ahead. It's easy to go astray, and once you go astray, you'll get stuck in a dead end, getting narrower and narrower. How can you still make progress then?" Qin Yiheng said casually, but he was actually reminding Hong Jiao.

Hongjiao pondered for a moment before realizing what was happening and looked at Qin Yiheng in surprise.

Qin Yiheng is a legendary doctor, a fact that is widely known. Whether people believe it or not, his reputation is undeniable.

But few people know that he also knows martial arts techniques.

Hongjiao had some doubts about him before. No matter how skilled a doctor is, it is impossible for an ordinary person to bring someone back to life. In her delirious and dying moments, Hongjiao had already felt Qin Yiheng channeling spiritual energy into her body.

She thought it was her imagination, that there really were people in this world who could know these mysterious things.

"My benefactor, are you saying that I shouldn't be too fixated on my hatred for Chu Wei?" Hong Jiao asked tentatively.

Qin Yiheng nodded: "Yes...no."

Hongjiao stared in astonishment, and after a moment, she knelt down before Qin Yiheng again.

"Please help me, my benefactor."
