When Wong Qifu approached Xu Ke, her words held no hidden meaning.

However, that didn't stop Xu Ke's own mind from conjuring inappropriate thoughts.

His gaze subconsciously drifted down toward Wong Qifu…

Hm… A flash of snow-white.

Wong Qifu didn't notice what he was doing and continued, "When I came over just now, the property management told me Wang Yu came looking for me."

"She registered at the front desk as my visitor, so she must have been looking for me, but then she suddenly left."

"This is very suspicious. I had someone check the security footage and saw her chatting with Zhou Yi Yi, after which she left looking very happy. So, you…"

"What are you looking at?"

Wong Qifu was halfway through her sentence when she looked up and noticed Xu Ke seemed distracted, causing her to frown.

Startled, Xu Ke quickly said, "Nothing, I wasn't looking at anything."

"You said to remember something… what was I supposed to remember?"

A hint of guilt appeared on his face.

Seeing his expression, how could Wong Qifu not guess what he had just seen?

She laughed in annoyance. "Like what you see?"

"What are you talking about? See what?"

Xu Ke looked away, feigning ignorance.

Wong Qifu raised an eyebrow at him. "No need to be coy. If you want to look, just say so."

"Come to my room tonight. It's not like your big sister here would stop you."

Xu Ke had planned to continue playing dumb to get away with it, but as if possessed, he blurted out, "What time tonight?"

Wong Qifu snatched a nearby book and gave Xu Ke a solid smack.

"AH…"

「...」

When Xu Ke left the study, he was in a state of both pain and worry.

The solid smack from Wong Qifu had left his shoulder throbbing.

Moreover, what baffled him was that Wang Yu had come and gone, and had even had a pleasant chat with Zhou Yi Yi.

Wang Yu needed Wong Qifu's help to make a comeback. Meanwhile, Zhou Yi Yi, who disliked him, would never harm the Wang Family. Therefore, their meeting could only mean they were targeting him.

Those two, getting together again probably means they're cooking up some nasty scheme against me.

「...」

After instructing Tang Yingchang to make sure Xu Yi was taken back to Junyue Residence, Xu Ke left with Wang Wu.

He had been planning to go to the Martial Alliance to see Lin Zhongtian.

But then, he received a call from Feng Wei.

"Feng Wei, what's up?" Xu Ke answered.

Feng Wei dispensed with the pleasantries and got straight to the point. "Xu Ke, you promised you would help me one time, right?"

Xu Ke nodded. "That's right."

When Xu Feng'an and Nie Qinghe were on a show slandering him while he was in a coma, it was Feng Wei who had intervened and cut the broadcast.

In return, Xu Ke had agreed to help Feng Wei once.

"Then I need you to help me save someone right now."

Xu Ke didn't hesitate. "No problem."

Uncharacteristically, Feng Wei fell silent for a moment before saying, "...You're not going to hesitate?"

"Why would I hesitate?" Xu Ke laughed.

Feng Wei sighed. "This person… might be a bit special."

But Xu Ke was direct. "I'll do what I promised. Where is the person I need to save?"

Hearing Xu Ke's straightforwardness, Feng Wei stopped being coy. "I'll tell you her identity in a bit."

"She's currently at 2201, Block A of Junyue Residence. You can't get in without an escort. I'll meet you when you arrive and take you up."

Xu Ke was shocked. "The patient lives right below me?!"

Feng Wei was just as surprised. "You live here too?"

"Yeah! How could he be living downstairs?"

Xu Ke was completely taken aback.

Feng Wei subconsciously retorted, "Is there a problem?"

"Of course not," Xu Ke explained. "I just think it's a huge coincidence."

Feng Wei thought Xu Ke was implying something. He fumbled for a moment before blurting out, "Don't get me wrong, I haven't been stalking you…"

Xu Ke found it both funny and exasperating. What kind of logic was that?

Since it was on the way, after hanging up, Xu Ke naturally had Wang Wu drive back to Junyue Residence.

Wang Wu had sharp hearing, and since Xu Ke wasn't trying to hide the call, he overheard the conversation. He asked, "Mister Xu, what if the person Feng Wei wants you to save could be a danger to you?"

Frankly, aside from finding Feng Wei's way of thinking a bit odd, Wang Wu's impression of him was actually quite good.

But a good impression was one thing; Xu Ke's interests were another.

Feng Wei's hesitant behavior made Wang Wu uneasy.

After Xu Ke saved Ye Chong last time, he was still facing criticism for it.

If Feng Wei had brought an enemy of the Wang Family for Xu Ke to save, and word got out, who knows what kind of chaos would erupt.

However, Xu Ke just smiled. "Even if Feng Wei asked me to save Ye Yunfeng, I would do it."

"I gave him my word."

Whether it was his master's teachings or his own personal creed, he could not go back on a promise.

But then, he added, "However, after I save them, I'd kill them again on the spot."

Hearing this, Wang Wu burst out laughing and didn't try to dissuade him further.

「...」

After returning to Junyue Residence, the first thing Xu Ke did was go to his apartment, 2301, to get his needles.

As he came downstairs with his needles, he felt a wave of emotion.

I can't believe I live so close to Feng Wei and we've never once run into each other…

The elevator doors opened.

The first thing that entered Xu Ke's vision was Feng Wei's signature bird's-nest hair and thick glasses.

"How is the patient?"

Xu Ke got straight to the point, appearing even more anxious than Feng Wei.

Feng Wei, however, greeted them calmly. "Xu Ke, Uncle Wu."

Wang Wu nodded back with a smile.

Xu Ke said, "Tell me about the patient's situation."

Xu Ke meant he wanted to know about their medical condition.

But Feng Wei misunderstood, thinking Xu Ke wanted to know the patient's identity.

He looked at Xu Ke and stated bluntly, "Her name is Qin Yu. She's the sister of Ye Feng, the Ye Family's adopted son."

"Are you sure you want to save her?"

After speaking, Feng Wei sighed…

He knew that saving Ye Feng's sister was considered a cardinal sin in the Wang Family.

He had thought that if Xu Ke refused, he would have to beg him to help Qin Yu.

He never expected Xu Ke to agree so readily.

That was why he had hesitated when Xu Ke's agreement came so quickly.

Hearing Feng Wei's words, both Xu Ke and Wang Wu were stunned…

Honestly, if Ye Yunfeng were lying here, neither of them would have been too surprised. But this… Ye Feng's sister?! How did Feng Wei get involved with her?

"Qin Yu…"

Xu Ke paused, momentarily at a loss for words.

Feng Wei continued, "Ye Feng is the adopted son of the Ye Family. His biological father's surname was Qin, and Qin Yu is his biological sister."

Wang Wu nodded. "Everyone in the Wang Family knows that."

"But, wasn't Qin Yu studying abroad?"

"Why is she living in Junyue Residence now?"

The six great families studied each other extensively.

How could Wang Wu not know that Ye Feng had a biological sister?

But according to their information, Qin Yu left Tianhai a year ago. Why would she suddenly be in Junyue Residence?

"It's a long story…"

Feng Wei sighed, then turned and opened the door to room 2201.
