After separating from Meng Sangsang, Su Li came to the apartment to find Xiao Chen.

Su Chen didn't want to live in Quan Ye's big villa. He said he wanted to leave them some alone time, so he ran away and moved into an apartment.

"Sis, what brings you here? I'm going back to Yucheng for the start of the new semester in a few days, so don't worry about me."

“You’ve grown up. You’ve never caused me any worry since you were little. What could I possibly worry about?”

Su Li sat down on the sofa, checking the homework he had placed on the table.

Su Chen sat at the coffee table with his phone, playing games with a very serious expression.

“I’ve finished the set of Olympiad math problems you bought me. You can check them, and then you’re not allowed to nag me anymore about not doing my homework.”

"Okay, I'll take a look and then decide."

Seeing that her phone was out of battery, Su Li asked, "Do you have a charger?"

Su Chen glanced at her. "I don't have a charger for your phone. Why don't you go out and borrow a power bank?"

"It's okay, I'll look at your homework for you first, and we can borrow it when we go out."

She put her phone aside and opened his notebook.

At the same time, Quan Ye received a message from the hospital saying that Zhou Kai had woken up.

"Hello, the number you dialed is currently switched off."

Su Li's phone remained switched off.

Unable to contact her, Quan Ye had no choice but to drive to the hospital first.

The doctor was already waiting at the hospital entrance and led him straight to Zhou Kai's ward.

After waking up, Zhou Kai was very irritable. He broke free from all the IV tubes and pushed the nurse away, trying to get up.

Several doctors and nurses came in and held him down, barely managing to prevent him from running away.

Upon seeing the tall figure enter through the door, the atmosphere inside the room instantly became oppressive. Zhou Kai was so frightened that he dared not utter a sound, lying on the bed staring blankly.

Quan Ye strode to the bedside, coldly scrutinizing him. "How is he?"

Doctor: "The patient has regained consciousness after our treatment, but his/her emotions are currently unstable and he/she is still at risk of falling into a coma at any time."

"Let me go! Let me go!" Zhou Kai struggled as soon as he heard that his life was in danger.

Quan Ye raised his hand to signal the bodyguards outside the door to come in and restrain him.

"Zhou Kai, if you move again, I'll cut off both your legs, and then you won't be able to go anywhere."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Kai fell completely silent.

He looked sickly and was extremely thin.

His voice was incredibly hoarse.

"I recognize you. You're Su Li's boss. Are you here to harm me?"

"I saved you, so I'm advising you to listen to me. My patience is limited."

Zhou Kai gradually calmed down and lay on the bed without saying a word.

The bodyguard brought a chair over to Quan Ye and placed it next to the hospital bed.

Then the doctors and nurses left, leaving only him in the ward.

Zhou Kai looked at the tall, burly bodyguards and swallowed nervously. "What...what do you want to do?"

Do you recognize this?

Quan Ye sat down in the chair and showed a photo on his phone, which was of that earring.

After reading it, Zhou Kai looked away and shook his head, saying, "No, I don't recognize it."

Zhang Quan stepped forward and kicked him, regardless of whether he was sick or not. "If Master Quan asks you a question, you'd better answer honestly, or you'll be subjected to severe torture later!"

He swung a pair of nunchucks and brandished them in front of Zhou Kai.

Zhou Kai was so scared that he wet the bed; he was as cowardly as could be.

Zhang Quan covered his nose and looked at Quan Ye, saying, "This old man really wet the bed. How disgusting! Mr. Quan, would you like to avoid him?"

Quan Ye was only interested in getting Zhou Kai's secret out of him immediately and didn't care about this.

"Let him finish what he has to say."

The bodyguard walked over with several sharp instruments of torture and began to examine him.

Zhou Kai's pupils constricted, and he trembled, almost crying, "What exactly do you want to ask? Can you please let me go?"

"Tell me everything you know about Su Li."

"I...I don't know anything."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Quan swung his nunchucks forcefully at his legs.

"ah-"

The pig-like screams echoed throughout the ward.

Quan Ye's tone turned several degrees colder, "If you don't want to talk about it, there are still many fun things waiting for you."
