So he muttered to himself in a low voice, "How can his family be at ease leaving such an unstable young master so far away?"

Wang Hong chuckled, "His family even prepared a presidential suite for him. How do you know they didn't also prepare bodyguards, assistants, and housekeepers?"

Wang Xiaotian quickly nodded, "Right, right, Young Master Han is just being low-key. That doesn't mean no one's looking after him, does it?"

Xiao Hu joined in the speculation, "Maybe his family asked Pan Ge's family to take care of him?"

Damn!

Yeah!

Dan Zihao and Zhou Ci suddenly felt like they had an epiphany.

Zhou Ci, full of regret, slapped his thigh. "I was wondering why I hadn't heard of this guy before, and then all of a sudden, he's so chummy with Pan Ge..."

Wang Hong scoffed sarcastically, "Young Master Han mentioned last time that he's very close to Pan Ge's father. He even entrusted him with his stock account to practice with. Are you guys deaf?"

Zhou Ci and Dan Zihao looked abashed from the taunting and could only force a defense.

"We just thought he was bragging, didn't we?"

Liu Yingjun chimed in, "Phone numbers can't be faked, right? Are you two still going to put on an act?"

Wang Xiaotian shook his head with a sigh. "Rushing into a fight without finding out anything clearly... Zhou, that was foolish!"

The more Kong Yize listened, the more he felt that something was off. He glared at Zhou Ci and Dan Zihao, his voice turning grim as he spoke.

"You two... don't you think you owe me an explanation?"

"I really didn't know he had such a deep background..."

"Yeah, as if I'm the one who didn't suffer!"

Zhou Ci and Dan Zihao were overwhelmed and flustered, unable to explain themselves clearly.

It was no wonder. Kong Yize was clearly furious with nowhere to vent and looking for someone to blame; a couple of words weren't going to smooth things over.

Fang Tongzhi watched their internal strife, which grew louder and fiercer by the moment. After quite a while, he finally spoke in a low voice.

"I've rescued you all and explained everything clearly. Whatever happens next, I, Fang, have done right by you.

"One last reminder—if you're truly set on taking revenge against Han Lie, don't imagine you can do it cleanly. You'd better get your family's affairs in order first; that's the sensible approach.

"He doesn't need proof; if something happens, they'll come straight for you.

"And us guys, we won't be able to cover for you. When the time comes, we'll tell it like it is. We're not taking the blame for this.

"So, either don't drag your families into this, or go all out, prepared to trade your lives.

"Understood?"

Dan Zihao, Zhou Ci, and Kong Yize looked at each other; none of them uttered a sound.

Only the ignorant can be fearless.

Now, although they still didn't know how truly powerful Han Lie's family was, that phone number alone was enough to suffocate them.

In the entire Imperial Capital, there are fewer than 30 such numbers!

They were big shots back then. Fifteen years have passed—who knows what heights they've reached now?!

Zhou Ci understood this best, as his father still used an old 13900XXXXX number, his ways unchanged.

The first batch is the first batch! Even the 'small fry' numbers within that first batch belonged to the original tycoons!

He still had Pan Ge on his mind, but to go against Han Lie again... Sorry, I don't dare! I really don't dare!

Dan Zihao's family background was even less substantial than Zhou Ci's, leaving him utterly dispirited.

Damn it, I've hit a steel plate... What kind of damn revenge can I even talk about now? If that bastard Han Lie doesn't come looking for me to settle scores, I'll consider myself lucky. Forget it, forget it. I really can't stay in this damn school any longer. The sooner I leave, the better! My family isn't short on money. Where can't I go to have a good time?

Having abandoned all thoughts of revenge, Dan Zihao suddenly couldn't sit still. He just wanted to hurry home, talk things over with his parents, and then immediately block and cut off all contact with everyone and everything related to tonight's events.

Me, scared so badly I pissed my pants? Nonsense! I've never even *been* to Humanities!

As for Kong Yize... he was silently grinding his teeth. This is all fucking Zhou Ci and Dan Zihao's fault! You two just wait! If I don't give you both a thrashing before I go abroad, then I'm not the Xianxia Road Duel King!
