...

Qin Fang and Ron's first meeting was relatively relaxed. Although both of them were eager to destroy the other, at least they didn't start a fight in front of everyone.

"Yunxuan, long time no see, how about having a meal together?"

Ron seemed to have forgotten how he betrayed Chu Yunxuan back then. He even had a sincere smile on his face as he asked enthusiastically.

Judging by his demeanor, someone who didn't know might think he and Chu Yunxuan were really good friends!

"No need, I have other things to do..."

Chu Yunxuan shook her head and straightforwardly declined Ron's invitation.

The events of those years caused her significant harm. Even though meeting Ron again, Chu Yunxuan no longer resented him as she once did, it was impossible to be as close as before...

"If that's the case, then another day..."

Ron didn't mind and nodded, seemingly unwilling to press further.

Then they parted ways and went about their own business.

"Brother Liang, keep an eye on Ron for me... but make sure to stay safe, your safety is the most important!"

When Qin Fang left the hotel, he instructed Shen Liang, who was following secretly. Ron had a strong animosity towards him, and Qin Fang felt uneasy not keeping an eye on him.

It's not that he was afraid Ron might attack him, even if Ron sent his skilled subordinate, Qin Fang was confident he could handle it.

Qin Fang wasn't worried about Ron himself; it was mostly because Ron might target Chu Yunxuan. There had been prior incidents, proving Ron to be cunning and treacherous. Qin Fang had to be cautious this time.

Although Chu Yunxuan had learned some skills, she was still too weak, especially since Ron had a grandmaster-level expert. Even Qin Fang would need some effort to deal with him, so it would be easy for them to target Chu Yunxuan...

Of course, the expert by Ron's side was formidable, perhaps with strong counter-reconnaissance abilities. Ensuring Shen Liang's safety was also crucial, which is why Qin Fang emphasized it; he didn't want to lose a good assistant like Shen Liang over this!

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing..."

Shen Liang had already noticed the bodyguard beside Ron, definitely a top-notch expert, naturally increasing his own vigilance significantly.

He had been with Qin Fang for quite a while, and had encountered some masters. Although his skills hadn't greatly improved, his insight and vigilance were far stronger now.

Qin Fang even had the ninja Qin Zi spar with Shen Liang, training until Shen Liang could evade the ninja's surprise attacks. Only then was Qin Fang comfortable letting Shen Liang operate independently.

Now that Ron's bodyguard was more formidable, being extremely cautious was necessary...

Knowing Shen Liang could handle it, Qin Fang said no more, leaving the hotel with Chu Yunxuan to return to the Jiangzhou Hotel!

Qin Fang and company returned to the hotel, but Helen didn't come back with them; she stayed with Alex.

Alex's exorbitant demands made Qin Fang abandon this cooperation, causing a significant impact. Helen naturally seized the opportunity to hit back at Alex hard...

She stayed to report the matter to headquarters, to her father! What decision they'd make depended on her father, Old James, but that had nothing to do with Qin Fang. If Reid Pharmaceuticals sincerely wanted to continue the partnership, Alex would have to be ousted... that was Qin Fang's minimum requirement!

With things over there, Qin Fang didn't bother to manage; instead, someone arrived to surprise Qin Fang slightly.

"Cousin..."

That affectionate call immediately brought a smile to the once stern-faced Chu Yunxuan. Naturally, it was because the person calling her was none other than Wu Jian, who had nearly lost his life not long ago.

"Hmm... didn't I tell you to rest at home? How did you get out?"

But after the smile, Chu Yunxuan immediately put on a fierce face and said quite unceremoniously.

"I'm fully recovered. The doctor said I should get out more..."

Wu Jian mumbled in grievance, seemingly quite afraid of Chu Yunxuan.

"All right, all right, Wu Jian is fine, perfectly healthy..."

Qin Fang patted Chu Yunxuan's hand with a smile, seeing through Wu Jian's condition with his scouting skill, confirming he was indeed fully recovered.

After Qin Fang gave Wu Jian a Blood Replenishing Pill, the effects of the Bloodthirsty Grass had been entirely neutralized, and his depleted vitality was fully replenished.

They told him to continue resting mainly because he was somewhat weak, but over the past few days, he had completely recovered. Going out was no problem, and he was as healthy as could be!

"All right then... I won't scold you today!"

With Qin Fang speaking up, Chu Yunxuan stopped reprimanding her cousin, instantly making Wu Jian feel much more relaxed, as this cousin put a lot of pressure on him.

"Younger Brother Qin, I'm really grateful. If it weren't for you, my life would probably be over..."

Wu Jian had naturally noticed Qin Fang next to Chu Yunxuan long ago and immediately realized that this was his lifesaver. Now that Qin was also speaking up for him, Wu Jian was extremely excited.

"Call him Brother Qin..."

Chu Yunxuan immediately corrected him, her tone somewhat angry, clearly displeased with Wu Jian's form of address.

"Uh... Brother Qin!"

Wu Jian obediently complied, but in his heart, he thought, "He's not even as old as I am..."

Qin Fang was not yet twenty, while Wu Jian was already twenty-four, so naturally Wu Jian was older than Qin Fang, and it's no wonder he was mumbling to himself.

Of course, he just kept those complaints to himself and dared not speak them out loud.

But he soon realized that his formidable cousin seemed to have an unusually close relationship with Qin Fang, even with hints of an ambiguous relationship.

"Could it be..."

Wu Jian wasn't completely clueless, and upon realizing this, he immediately showed a cunning smile, as if he had discovered some sort of secret.

However, some things are better left unsaid, it's enough to know them in your heart; saying them out loud might not be appropriate...

Especially since Wu Jian was aware of Qin Fang's identity to some extent, for instance, Qin Fang was the Tang Family's son-in-law, whose fiancée was the Tang's most favored eldest daughter, Tang Feifei...

But now his own cousin had this kind of relationship with Qin Fang, leaving Wu Jian feeling very conflicted and quite helpless...

If it were any other man, Wu Jian would probably have told his mother or aunt about it to advise his cousin Chu Yunxuan, but the issue was Qin Fang was his lifesaver, and reportedly had even avenged him... Wu Jian wasn't the kind to repay kindness with enmity, so he certainly couldn't play the bad guy!

"By the way, did you come here for something?"

Titles didn't really matter much, whether older or younger was fine; Chu Yunxuan was a bit curious about what Wu Jian came to find her for.

"Actually, it's nothing much, I came to find Brother Qin..."

Wu Jian laughed, then explained his intention, which was surprisingly because of Qin Fang.

"Looking for me?"

Qin Fang was taken aback, a bit unclear about what Wu Jian meant, as the two of them weren't exactly familiar.

"Of course! Brother Qin saved my life, so naturally, I want to express my gratitude, and I've arranged a meal at Happy Gate Entertainment City hoping Brother Qin will do me the honor of joining..."

The debt of saving one's life is no small matter. Wu Jian, despite his young age, handled things with a certain method. Had he not been tricked back then, he wouldn't have almost lost his life.

Now, that Young Master Liu has been dealt with by Wu Ling, and even his family has been eradicated... The reason for such a great enmity with Wu Jian was merely just over a woman, it seems.

"Then you go ahead... I'm a bit tired, I'll head back to rest..."

Upon hearing Wu Jian's reason, Chu Yunxuan nodded. She also understood her cousin's character, arranging a meal as a form of thanks was quite normal, so she agreed immediately.

However, she did seem a bit tired, although whether that was because she didn't rest well last night or due to Ron's appearance, only she knew...

"Yunxuan..."

Qin Fang couldn't help but frown a little, about to ask about it.

"I'm fine, a good sleep will do me well, you guys should go have fun..."

But Chu Yunxuan waved her hand, understanding Qin Fang's concern and offered a simple explanation, then suggested Qin Fang go have dinner with Wu Jian.

"Brother Qin, my sister is fine... She's been a strong woman since she was a child; she can take care of herself, but you must agree to this meal today for me!"

Wu Jian also chimed in to persuade Qin Fang, directly grabbing his arm to pull him outside.

"I'm really okay..."

Chu Yunxuan consistently assured, showing a hint of a smile despite her tired look, which made Qin Fang feel a bit worried.

"Okay then... I'll go, but I'll call you later..."

Qin Fang eventually nodded, agreeing to go for the meal with Wu Jian, albeit planning to check-in with Chu Yunxuan later.

"Alright, go ahead..."

Chu Yunxuan nodded, bid farewell to Qin Fang and Wu Jian, then went upstairs to rest, while Qin Fang proceeded to Happy Gate Entertainment City with Wu Jian. (To be continued.
