Once Hua Shuyan was certain that the "okay" came from Qin Yiheng's mouth, he was so happy that he forgot all about his physical pain.

"Thank you, thank you, divine doctor, thank you, hero." Even his speech became fluent. Hua Shuyan kept kowtowing in gratitude and swore to the heavens, "If I, Hua Shuyan, ever provoke Qin Yiheng again, may I die a horrible death."

He knew that his father and Qin Yiheng had some connection, so Qin Yiheng would definitely give his father face.

From then on, he lived a good life and waited for another opportunity.

A wise man doesn't suffer a loss he can't avoid.

"Don't worry, of course I'll let you go." Qin Yiheng's tone was meaningful.

But Hua Shuyan, blinded by a sense of luck, failed to notice anything amiss, except...

"boom--"

Before Hua Shuyan could even celebrate, Qin Yiheng grabbed Ning Yun and slapped him hard across the face.

This palm strike, imbued with internal force, caused Hua Shuyan to cough up blood.

Before this, he had no idea that he had so much blood to vomit.

But why?

Qin Yiheng has already said he will let him go.

Hua Shuyan stared wide-eyed at Qin Yiheng, his eyes bloodshot and filled with disbelief.

"Unfortunately, he won't let you go." Qin Yiheng turned to look at Ning Yun calmly.

At this moment, neither Ning Yun nor Hua Shuyan could quite describe their feelings, resulting in blank expressions on their faces.

Qin Yiheng's face showed no obvious expression, but it wasn't completely expressionless either; they couldn't understand it.

He was still unclear about the current situation of the Chu family and did not want to waste any more time on it.

Qin Yiheng turned to leave, but there was a sudden noise and scream behind him. He didn't turn around at all.

Amidst the dappled shadows of the trees, a figure that had been missing for a long time suddenly appeared out of nowhere, standing in the middle of the battlefield, looking at the mess with a complicated expression.

The moonlight shone down, illuminating Black Tiger's face...

The Chu Family Villa.

The departure of Qin Yiheng and the Luo family members brought a sigh of relief to everyone in the Chu family, but the matter was not over yet.

After receiving the news, Chu Linghuang rushed back to his family home as quickly as possible, thinking he could control the situation, but he was surrounded by a group of people who wouldn't listen to him.

"Grandpa, Ruoxue is still too young and acts on her own. I don't think she's suitable to continue in the position of president."

"Yes, old man. Even the patriarch, as Chu Ruoxue's father, can't say anything. She can't be so unwilling to listen to others' advice."

"You have no idea how critical the situation was back then. Even if Qin Yiheng had done a great favor for the Chu family, the entire Chu family was implicated because of him, and the favor turned into enmity."

"I would like to ask the old man to re-select a president. I think the eldest master, Chu Wei, is the most suitable."

"I also support the master..."

Chu Linghuang was annoyed by their back-and-forth chatter and slammed his hand heavily on the armrest of his seat.

"Enough! In the end, isn't it all about power?"

As he spoke, Old Master Chu looked at Chu Wei with an unfriendly gaze.

However, throughout the entire process, Chu Wei stood there with an air of righteous indignation, saying nothing or expressing his opinion, while others spoke up for him.

"Grandpa, that's not how it's said. As the president of the Chu Group, of course you have to think about all of us Chu family members."

"That's right, even though some of us don't have the surname Chu, we're still connected by blood. Why does it seem like we're deliberately making things difficult for Ruoxue?"

"It just means that Ruoxue will study for a few more years. It doesn't mean that this position will be completely irrelevant to her."

"Yes, that's right. Ruoxue really can't handle the current situation of the Chu family."

Even with his strong leadership, Old Master Chu found himself in a difficult position when faced with so many family members pressuring him to resign.

After a moment's hesitation, he made up his mind and said, "Since you don't trust Ruoxue, then from now on, I will be in charge of the Chu family!"

This statement immediately drew a large number of opposing voices.

No other reason was needed, but the fact that the old man was in poor health and could not take on any more work shut down Old Master Chu's words. As a result, the topic turned into Chu Ruoxue being unfilial, saying that she was incompetent and that her grandfather was so old and still had to worry about her.

Everyone was talking noisily, making the room sound like a swarm of bees buzzing. Old Master Chu was so angry that he fainted.

"See? I told you the old man was getting on in years! Quick, call the doctor!"

“If his descendants were more considerate, the old man wouldn’t be in this state.”

"Sigh, we're all doing this for the good of the Chu family, but it seems like we're plotting something..."

The Chu family was in complete chaos, and the words spoken by these people were extremely harsh. Chu Ruoxue and Chu Xiao were both thrust into the eye of the storm, and they were busy taking their grandfather to the doctor, so they couldn't care less about anything else.

Jiang Yan, who had been entrusted by Qin Yiheng to be looked after, was standing alone in a faraway place.

She couldn't get involved, so she just tried her best not to cause any more trouble.

"Your name is Jiang Yan?" Chu Ruolin walked up to her and looked her up and down, asking with great interest.

Jiang Yan recognized him; he was the one who started the trouble before the banquet even began, so she didn't have a good impression of him.

When asked a question, she could only politely reply, "Yes."

After saying that, she turned her head away, a clear sign of rejection, but Chu Ruolin seemed not to notice at all, and continued to follow Jiang Yan's gaze.

"What's your relationship with that guy surnamed Qin? Are you boyfriend and girlfriend?" Chu Ruolin's question was very direct, which made Jiang Yan feel uncomfortable.

"Young master, I don't think I need to answer you." Jiang Yan shook her head slightly and turned to leave.

Unexpectedly, Chu Ruolin took two steps forward and blocked her way: "What? Can't I even ask him a couple of questions? If you're not his girlfriend, why are you always with him and not with me?"

Jiang Yan glared at him, embarrassed and annoyed.

Provoked by that look, Chu Ruolin chuckled twice, leaned closer, and whispered, "Hey, you two have slept together..."

"Young Master Chu, you've gone too far!"

Jiang Yan immediately understood what he wanted to ask, and angrily rebuked him. She turned around to find Chu Ruoxue, but her hand was grabbed by Chu Ruolin. Jiang Yan quickly twisted and struggled, but Chu Ruolin pulled her tighter and tighter.

"You're quite energetic, aren't you? Where are you going? To find Chu Ruoxue? Didn't you see how busy she is? If you need anything, just tell me, young master..."

Chu Ruolin's language became increasingly vulgar, and he began to grope Jiang Yan's fingers and wrists in a very forceful manner.

Jiang Yan's eyes reddened, and she was about to shout when suddenly Chu Ruolin let go of her and took two steps back, while she herself fell into a strong and warm embrace.

"Yi Heng!" Jiang Yan was overjoyed, but immediately felt embarrassed, and tears welled up in her eyes.

Qin Yiheng never expected that when he rushed back to the Chu family, he would see such a scene.

"Chu Ruolin." Qin Yiheng didn't have time to comfort Jiang Yan. He just stared at Chu Ruolin with his eyes blazing with anger. How dare this person?

Chu Ruolin was stunned for a moment, then came to her senses and cursed loudly, throwing a punch directly at Qin Yiheng.

"Smack—"
