Having not drunk alcohol for a long time, Chen Siyuan got drunk after only a few drinks.

Qiao Yuchen was even more worried when he saw this.

I don't understand what's going on. The woman has been drunk a few times before and has always had a high alcohol tolerance. Why is her alcohol tolerance so low today?

Thinking about the recent events, Qiao Yuchen quickly realized the crux of the matter.

They immediately summoned a doctor to examine him.

The result was pretty much what he expected.

Qiao Yuchen didn't even know how to give someone a gift, so he simply handed it over to Wang Yong to handle.

He stood by the bedside, watching the sleeping woman, various thoughts flashing through his mind.

He clearly wanted to protect this woman, but at the crucial moment, it was this woman who sacrificed her own life to save him.

There was frustration and anger, but no regret.

He knew that if Chen Siyuan hadn't appeared, he might have continued in a daze, not knowing where he was, as if he were asleep, unaware of everything around him.

He is still alive.

He was grateful for the woman's sacrifices, which gave him the chance to live and stand by her side. If it weren't for her, he didn't know how he would have lived.

The thought of the woman's sacrifices weighed heavily on his heart.

He stood quietly by the side, not knowing how much time had passed. He heard a commotion outside, glanced outside, and thought there should be results by now.

Carefully tucking Chen Siyuan in, he tiptoed outside.

Upon arriving at the door, seeing Yang Lei looking travel-worn, he gestured for them to come outside to talk.

Qiao Yuchen and Yang Lei arrived at the temporary office study one after the other. The moment they entered, Yang Lei knelt on the ground.

"What's going on?" Qiao Yuchen immediately sensed something was wrong when he saw the scene.

He was a well-known figure in both the imperial court and the martial arts world. This incident was a huge slap in the face, making him start to doubt his life and his own abilities.

"Your subordinate deserves to die; you failed to find Huoye."

Qiao Yuchen already knew of Huoye's existence. If Huoye hadn't suddenly appeared, they wouldn't be in such a relaxed state now.

Even if you can't win such talent over, you can't turn them into an adversary.

If he could, he would rather be despised by the whole world than allow such a threat to exist.

Where is that woman?

"Your subordinate deserves to die!"

Another fruitless attempt. Yang Lei felt ashamed, but it was the truth.

It was only through this period that Yang Lei learned that Qiao Yuchen had won a great victory in suppressing bandits in Fuzhou, but suddenly fainted. He didn't know what happened afterward, but he did know that Qiao Yuchen was later imprisoned in a cage, not by the Li family, but by a woman in red who appeared in the trap.

They don't know how it was done, or whether the woman in red died in the end.

All that is known is that the once magnificent Li family home was transformed into a lush green meadow after the fire.

How could they accept this outcome?

The matter wasn't investigated thoroughly, and instead, a festering wound was left in people's hearts; no one would feel good about that.

Especially for someone like Qiao Yuchen, who likes to control everything, it is even more unacceptable.

"Get out!" Qiao Yuchen said with overwhelming anger.

Knowing he had done a bad job, Yang Lei left in a sorry state.

Qiao Yuchen stayed in the study for a long time. He understood many things, but he couldn't accept them.

Fueled by rage, Qiao Yuchen stormed into the cell and, without a second thought, began punching and kicking Feng Dasen.

Later, even when Feng Dasen was lying on the ground on the verge of death, Qiao Yuchen still didn't intend to let him go.

This incident involves collusion between officials and businessmen. The Li family's matter remains unresolved. Thinking of Li Huarong, who is still unconscious, he should know something, but since he hasn't woken up, we can't hear any useful information.

As for Li Ming, he was utterly useless; he knew nothing but eating, drinking, and having fun.

At this moment, Qiao Yuchen lost his temper and became irrational. He couldn't believe that Li Ming, such a muddle-headed person, would drink with Feng Dasen's only son and with Huo Ye.

Su Wen had heard about what happened in the prison and was worried that someone might be upset and actually kill someone, making all their efforts over the past few days futile.

Rushing over in a panic, he was so frightened by the scene that he dared not breathe. He quickly comforted Qiao Yuchen and then signaled Wenxuan to take away Feng Dasen, who was still breathing.

At this moment, Feng Dasen absolutely cannot die. If he really dies, it will cause them a lot of trouble in the future.

Qiao Yuchen calmed down considerably after being comforted by Su Wen.

Then, Wang Yong brought more good news.

My initial unease gradually subsided.

Su Wen quickly advised from the side, "The young mistress is still a little weak, you'd better go back and check on her."

Qiao Yuchen glanced at Su Wen with a strong warning in his eyes, but said nothing and quickly strode away.

Looking at the mess and bloodstains around him, Su Wen cursed in his heart again and again, "Damn it, damn it!"

He almost drove Qiao Yuchen crazy because of a woman.

Thinking that this woman is Chen Siyuan, I realize that a woman like her deserves anyone's sacrifice.

He didn't know what happened at the Li family's house that day, but he learned some of it afterward.

Chen Siyuan almost bled herself dry to save Qiao Yuchen. If it weren't for Chen Siyuan's sacrifice, there would be no Qiao Yuchen today.

It's understandable that Qiao Yuchen feels guilty towards Chen Siyuan.

After all, not everyone can value another person's life more than their own; people are often selfish.

Thinking about it, she felt a pang of envy for Qiao Yuchen. Why were the women he encountered so dazzling, while the ones she met...?
