"Next, let's welcome our champion of this competition, Ye Xiaofan, to the stage to accept the award. Let's give him a big round of applause."

Applause, cheers, and screams erupted simultaneously. The two-million-dollar check was right there on the podium.

But Xiaofan didn't appear in front of the podium. Our classmate Ye Xiaofan was currently resting his head on Liu Siyan's fair, tender thighs, leisurely closing his eyes, having a good rest.

"Mr. Ye Xiaofan?" The host saw that Xiaofan hadn't come up, so he quickly walked over and asked.

"Hand me the microphone." Xiaofan reached out for the mic.

The host handed it over to him.

"Ahem, sorry everyone, I really don't feel like moving. As for the award, I'll let my agent go up and get it for me. Let me lie down a bit longer. Just a bit longer..."

"Come on, get up! The cameraman is filming." Liu Siyan blushed and nudged Xiaofan.

"Ahem, seriously, it's such a rare chance to be close to a beauty, can't you delay the award presentation by three to five minutes?" Xiaofan reluctantly got up from Liu Siyan's thighs.

"Hahahahaha..." Everyone laughed and jeered at Xiaofan's humor.

The reason Xiaofan stayed to accept the award was entirely to give an explanation to everyone. He couldn't just disappear after winning the competition, right? At least he could still stand up now to receive the award; his body shouldn't have too many issues.

Actually, Xiaofan was extremely exhausted right after the fight. But after a little rest, his spirits gradually returned.

However, to be cautious, Liu Siyan still requested that Xiaofan go to the hospital for a checkup after the competition. They couldn't leave any sequela like before, especially since he had vomited blood two or three times.

The competition concluded with the outcome everyone anticipated. David's challenge ended in failure. What left the deepest impression on the world was the stubborn young man on the stage who refused to give up easily, and he was indeed very formidable.

Before going to the hospital, Xiaofan still needed to go back to the hotel to pack his luggage.

But just as Xiaofan was holding his luggage, ready to go downstairs with Liu Siyan, he saw several foreigners hurriedly walking through the hotel corridor.

If Xiaofan remembered correctly, those foreigners should have been with David. But at this time, David should already have been taken to the hospital for treatment. Why weren't they at the hospital with David, and why were they all staying here?

One match was already over. What they should do is prepare to return to their country, not run around here.

Could it be that something happened to David?

Impossible, Xiaofan knew his own strength, David was definitely not in life-threatening danger, just in need of casts for his limbs. If it wasn't him, could it have been Xiaolei?

No, that's not right. Xiaolei was also there when accepting the award earlier; there's no way he could have figured out which hospital so quickly, and even if he did, he couldn't act so fast.

So, what are they anxious about?

"Siyan, you go back with the clothes first."

"Huh? What are you going to do?" Liu Siyan asked curiously, looking at Xiaofan.

"I have something to handle."

"But you haven't gone to the hospital yet?"

"Don't worry, I'll go to the hospital by myself later. You go back first, I'll call you tomorrow."

"Hey, Xiaofan, Xiaofan..."

Watching Xiaofan's departing figure, Liu Siyan felt a sense of loss again. A wave of unease suddenly gripped her heart. It seemed like this scene happened often before. As long as she didn't see him for a while, something would happen to him.

Just like in H City, when he was perfectly fine, he suddenly got injured and hospitalized, and even disappeared for a long time. Plus, he even got shot, was seriously injured, and in the end didn't take the college entrance exam.

This time, as he left in such a hurry, would something worrying happen again?

Worrying was useless; there were certain things Liu Siyan couldn't get involved with. She used to think that after Shen Zuimo left, everything would get better. Now she realized, with Xiaofan's talent, he probably wouldn't stay obscure for life. This grand competition was the best example.

Xiaofan quietly followed those people to their room, climbing out through the window in the corridor. The hotel balcony was really a good place to hide.

"This time, with David's failure, the higher-ups are furious and ordered us to act punctually at ten tonight."

"But without David, can we succeed?"

"Nonsense, even if we can't succeed, we have to do it. I've already found out that there aren't many bodyguards around the target, and external personnel are ready to join us. If I don't act, I'll have to let the Red Butterfly people act, but the higher-ups instructed, they don't want to owe the Red Butterfly any favors."

"Yes, Colonel."

Red Butterfly? These people are actually related to Red Butterfly?

No, they shouldn't be with the Red Butterfly people, but they have connections with them.

Who exactly is their target that warrants such a big operation?

There are still more than five hours left until midnight. Should I stay here to keep watch? No, lying in wait is a bad strategy. I need to know their target in advance.

But I'm injured now; even if I could win against the foreigners in the room, I'm not sure I could control them all. If one or two escape and alert others, it would be even more troublesome.

With this situation, there's only one person who can help understand in advance.

6:30 PM.

Beijing Peking Union Medical College Hospital.

David was wrapped head to toe in bandages, evident that Xiaofan's last move had worsened his injuries. But well, he asked for it.

At this moment, David had already regained consciousness.

"Has there been any news from above?" David asked the guard beside him.

"Just lie down." The other person clearly didn't want to engage David much.

"Bastard, what tone are you using to talk to me."

"Hmph, what are you so smug about? For you, more than twenty people wasted so much time for nothing. Now, you haven't completed the task, just wait to be dealt with when you go back." The guard said, pulling out a pack of cigarettes, walked out onto the balcony at the back of the ward, and lit up.

The wafting cigarette smoke drifted in from the balcony, making David extremely angry.

"Damn it, I hate the smell of smoke. Close the door."

"Oh, really? I hate it too."

At that moment, a familiar voice came from the balcony.

Xiaofan, holding a cigarette, slowly walked up to David's hospital bed. He extinguished the cigarette on the cabinet next to the bed.

"You, how could you be here? What do you want to do?" Seeing Xiaofan, David's expression turned extremely ugly. He knew he had been defeated by the opponent, so it was natural for the opponent to come and gloat.

But Xiaofan wasn't that bored. Winning was winning. There was no need to show off.

"I'm here to see you. By the way, I have something to ask you."
