"I'm going to hit you, do I need a reason?" Lu Tinghao rolled his eyes at Lu Xun and instructed Jiang Nuan. "Be extra careful when you get back, okay?" "I know. We'll get home safely, don't worry." Jiang Nuan smiled and continued. "Master will probably be back soon. When he comes back, remember to tell him I've left everything he needs in the pharmacy. Let him find it himself." "Okay, I got it." Lu Tinghao nodded and watched Fu Yanci and the others leave. Gazing at the bright Big Dipper in the sky, Lu Tinghao prayed in his heart that Jiang Nuan's trip would be safe. But—Lu Tinghao's headache began to build again. Zhuang Muqing returned and found Jiang Nuan and the others gone. What would he do? He was so worried. ... The day after Sheng Yuxin rescued Fu Shipeng's men, Fu Shipeng couldn't wait to leave Sheng Yuxin's villa and return to his own house. "Shipeng, where are you going?" "To my own home." "This is your home." Sheng Yuxin was anxious. She didn't want to ruin her hard-earned alone time with Fu Shipeng, so she quickly put down her phone and ran to him. Fu Shipeng gave her a cold look and retorted, "This isn't my home." "Shipeng, Shipeng!" With that, Fu Shipeng left Sheng Yuxin's villa without a backward glance. Without a second thought, Sheng Yuxin immediately drove after him. Only Sheng Yuxin's elite team and Sheng Yiyi remained in the villa, staring at each other in bewilderment. "Captain, so we came to Country Z this time just to rescue this man?" "..." Sheng Yiyi didn't dare reply, but her grim expression made the elite team present understand, and their expressions darkened as well. They were members of the elite team, the pillars of the Blood Demons, and they were known to only undertake the most challenging missions. Now their eldest daughter is asking them to do something so trivial—isn't that a clear sign of contempt?! Everyone was furious but couldn't speak out. Sheng Yiyi, sensing their discontent, offered solace. "It's actually quite good, at least this mission isn't life-threatening. Everyone, take this opportunity to relax." Hearing Sheng Yiyi's words of comfort, the others became even more restless, one after another unable to resist complaining about Sheng Yuxin. "Captain, if it were me, you should be the one to succeed Xuesha. You're so talented, how could you possibly..." "Well, she's just relying on being the patriarch's daughter. Her achievements are nothing compared to yours, Captain. Why is she so arrogant?" "Yeah! I think so too!" They didn't dare name the last person, but everyone present knew what was going on. Seeing their growing agitation, Sheng Yiyi steeled her resolve and rebuked them. "Enough! Don't let me hear you say such treasonous words again. The eldest lady is the daughter of the patriarch, so it's only natural that she inherits the Blood Demon." "The patriarch trained you to serve the eldest lady. You must remember this." Sheng Yiyi's righteous attitude startled the elite team. They looked at each other, not daring to say another word. "Alright, everyone go back and rest. The eldest lady will make all the arrangements." "Yes." ... Fu Shipeng's car sped along the road. With his familiarity with the routes in City A, they quickly lost sight of Sheng Yuxin. Sheng Yuxin watched Fu Shipeng's car, which had been following her, suddenly disappear in front of her, and her anxiety suddenly surged. Damn it, I lost him. Sheng Yuxin had no choice but to find a place to pull over. She sat in the driver's seat, fiddling with her phone, and finally called Sheng Yiyi. "Go check where Shipeng is. I lost my car." "Okay, miss." Meanwhile, in Fu Shipeng's car, Xu Yueying watched Sheng Yuxin's car disappear in the rearview mirror, her brows furrowed as if she could pinch a fly to death. "Master, is this really okay?" "What's wrong with it?" Fu Shipeng asked nonchalantly. He hadn't wanted anything to do with Sheng Yuxin in the first place. If it weren't for that trick played by Fu Yanci, he would never have contacted Sheng Yuxin in his life. Seeing Fu Shipeng's resolute attitude, Xu Yueying didn't want to say anything more. Fu Shipeng drove quickly, and in less than an hour they were back at the villa where Fu Shipeng and his friends had been captured. "It seems they didn't leave anyone here to stay." Looking at the villa, which was as messy as when he was captured, Fu Shipeng nodded, confirming Xu Yueying's words. "Then you can take them to tidy up here first." With that, Fu Shipeng walked away. Fu Shipeng came to the basement alone, step by step, as if he was expecting something, or as if he was missing something. There was a faint scratching sound from the basement door. Fu Shipeng raised his eyebrows, picked up a stick, and walked towards it leisurely. "Ahem..." The sudden light made Song Zhiyi very uncomfortable. She even fell to the ground in fear, raised her hands to cover her eyes, and stepped back a little. Fu Shipeng's eyes lit up when he saw Song Zhiyi, but soon returned to calm. He waved the stick in his hand at Song Zhiyi, as if he was planning something. After a while, Song Zhiyi got used to the light and slowly moved her arm away, but the moment she saw Fu Shipeng, she fainted. "Clang." Fu Shipeng threw away the stick in his hand without hesitation, stepped forward quickly, and hugged Song Zhiyi when her head was about to hit the ground. Looking at the pale Song Zhiyi, Fu Shipeng's expression was complicated. He then picked her up and walked out of the basement, returning to the room in front of Xu Yueying and the others. "Lin Ling, go get a doctor." "Yes." Xu Yueying watched Fu Shipeng ascend the stairs, silently helping him to explain the things he had forgotten to mention, and then continued to clean up the villa. ... After receiving Fu Yanci's affirmative answer, Xu Jinhe couldn't wait to call Fu Shipeng, but no one answered. Undeterred, she called several more times, but the result was the same. Helpless, she texted Fu Shipeng: "It's important, call me quickly." After sending this message, Xu Jinhe stared at her phone anxiously, expecting Fu Shipeng's call to ring in the next second. But the reality was cruel: she was ultimately disappointed. "Xu Jinhe! Open the door! Hurry and open the door for me!" Fu Shize's noisy voice echoed outside the door, and the anticipation on Xu Jinhe's face instantly turned to disgust. Ever since Fu Shize was in a car accident on his way to work and lost both legs, his mood has become increasingly unstable, and even more so since Xu Jinhe started sleeping in a separate room from him. But Xu Jinhe didn't want to care. She packed her things, opened the door, ignored Fu Shize's scolding, and left the house.
