Looking at Xiao Feng hesitating to speak, Wang Lubo proudly said, "See, even Brother Feng can't find a fault with my idea, this means..."

Just as he was speaking, Song Keren firmly refused, "No way!"

Originally, Song Keren already found it unacceptable to form a pact with Wang Lubo, let alone bringing Xiao Feng into it. What would that even make it?

If Xiao Feng called her "Third Sister," and she called Xiao Feng "Big Brother," just thinking about the scene made Song Keren feel unbearable!

Wang Lubo wanted to continue persuading, but Xiao Feng spoke first, "I think Bozai's idea is workable, but the key is whether the elders of your two families approve of it. After all, this does sound a bit like child's play."

"Brother Feng, you think it's feasible too?" Wang Lubo's eyes lit up, as if getting Xiao Feng's approval was a great honor.

"I have no problem with it, the key is whether she's willing." Xiao Feng tilted his head, looking at Song Keren.

And Song Keren stared sharply at Xiao Feng, "You really want to be my brother that much? If so, I have no objections."

After speaking, Song Keren got up and left directly.

Mu Shihan didn't find anything wrong with it, and even thought Song Keren's anger was reasonable. She stomped hard on Wang Lubo's foot, then went after Song Keren.

Meanwhile, Lu Yao watched Song Keren's back, her eyes showing thoughtful expression. She keenly detected an unusual meaning in Song Keren's seemingly defiant words...

"Brother Feng, I'm really out of ideas. Help a brother out with some advice." Wang Lubo said bitterly, having finally come up with a plan, only for Song Keren to refuse to cooperate. He could only pin his hopes on Xiao Feng.

Xiao Feng earnestly said, "Bozai, give your brother a break, I really don't want to get involved with the affairs of wealthy and powerful families like yours. Think carefully, the person who tied the bell should be the one to untie it."

This wasn't a lie, Xiao Feng has always had a clear understanding of his own capabilities. While the outside world may view his downfall of the Shen Group as extraordinary, he himself never becomes conceited enough to ignore anyone.

Besides, compared to the Wang Family and Song Family, the two families from Kyoto, the Shen Group really isn't that significant.

Even if we take a step back, even if Xiao Feng is willing to help, what if the elders of Song Family and Wang Family insist on bringing them together? Kill them?

By then, it's likely that Song Keren and Wang Lubo would be the first to call for a pause, which is why family matters are the hardest to deal with; one misstep and all efforts go unappreciated.

"The person who tied the bell should be the one to untie it." Wang Lubo muttered to himself, "Yes, the person who tied the bell should be the one to untie it."

Sighing, Wang Lubo stood up, "Brother Feng, we probably won't see each other for a while. Please keep an eye on Qianqian's matters."

After speaking, Wang Lubo walked towards the door, his figure giving Xiao Feng a sense of heroism, as if about to step onto a battlefield with little chance of surviving.

"Brother Yanhuang, what should I do next?" Lu Yao asked softly.

Xiao Feng replied immediately, "Continue investigating the whereabouts of Devil's Concentration Camp. Instead of sitting and waiting for death, it's better to take initiative. Let's see who gets the last laugh!"

"Okay!" Lu Yao nodded and then got up to handle her own matters. She just needed to do whatever Xiao Feng said.

At this moment, Xiao Feng received a call from the hospital. Du Qingyue finally woke up after being in a coma for nearly a week, but her emotions were highly unstable.

Xiao Feng didn't understand what "emotionally unstable" meant, but no matter what, he needed to go over first.

Rushing to the hospital, Xiao Feng went straight to Du Qingyue's room. As soon as he entered, he found Du Qingyue quickly turning her face away as if hiding something.

"What's wrong with you?" Xiao Feng asked, puzzled.

"Nothing, you can sit," Du Qingyue coldly replied.

Xiao Feng smiled wryly, "But you should turn your head back, isn't it awkward to talk like this?"

"Not awkward." Du Qingyue curtly said, "I feel fine."

Xiao Feng felt something was off and tried to move to another side to see what Du Qingyue was hiding.

Just as he moved, Du Qingyue stopped him, "Don't come over, just speak from there, I can hear you."

Xiao Feng helplessly said, "Fine, you slept for quite a long time, do you know what happened in Jiangcheng during this period?"

"Mhm." Du Qingyue softly replied, her gaze always on the window.

In fact, right when she woke up, she had the nurse bring her the newspapers from the day she was in a coma until today. Though she couldn't say about small things, she was well aware of major events like the downfall of the Shen Group...

"I took the time to visit the Netherlands these past couple of days." Xiao Feng said lightly.

Du Qingyue furrowed her brows slightly, instinctively wanting to turn her head towards Xiao Feng but stopped just as she started the motion, turning back, "Why did you go to the Netherlands?"

"Of course to take revenge on the group responsible for the explosion!" Xiao Feng calmly stated, "You probably guessed it too; this explosion was aimed at me. But I still want to tell you, nothing is more important than life. You managed to escape but went back, which was not a wise move."

After thinking for a moment, Xiao Feng added, "Or rather, this doesn't seem like something you would do."

"But I still did it." Du Qingyue said sullenly.

Xiao Feng sighed, "I'm not blaming you, just hoping that if something similar happens again, you'll put your safety first."

Du Qingyue suddenly laughed, "I thought you'd be happy to see me blown up."

"Am I that malicious?" Xiao Feng said, dissatisfied.

"I remember you said that even if we divorced, half my assets would be yours. If I hadn't woken up, all that wealth would be yours." Du Qingyue said leisurely.

"You're saying this too late now." Xiao Feng joked, "Had you said it earlier, I might not have saved you. You know, even top domestic experts said there was no hope. Getting you back was no easy feat."

Du Qingyue looked out the window, silent for a long time. She had many questions to ask, like if she was truly paralyzed, what would Xiao Feng do?

But for things that haven't happened, Du Qingyue didn't want to speculate. People still need to live in the present, not always clinging to hypothetical non-existent scenarios.

"The Shen Group has fallen." Xiao Feng said blandly, as if recounting something very trivial.

Du Qingyue asked, "Because of you?"

"You could say that." Xiao Feng admitted briskly, then said, "Shen Tianze did a lot of illegal and criminal activities behind the scenes and is now under criminal detention, likely facing decades at least. As for his father, there's no need to mention; after the company's bankruptcy, just the debt collectors are enough to drive him mad, likely choosing not to come out."

Du Qingyue slowly nodded, then turned her head towards Xiao Feng with a bite on her lips, "Then should our relationship end as well?"

Xiao Feng was taken aback, only to see Du Qingyue's once pretty face now covered with scars, large and small wounds forming black scabs, looking rather frightening.

At this moment, Xiao Feng realized why the hospital said Du Qingyue's emotions were unstable, and why upon entering, she was hiding not letting him see her face.

"Pretty, isn't it?" Seeing Xiao Feng's surprised look, Du Qingyue hooked the corner of her mouth, her posture exactly like before she was hurt, though internally she couldn't help feeling a bit anxious.

Xiao Feng nodded, "I can't see clearly, let me come closer and take a look."

Saying that, he moved forward without waiting for Du Qingyue to stop him, reaching out to touch her wounds. After observing for a while, he smiled, "It's fine, your looks are not ruined. Even if they were, it doesn't matter, as long as you are alive."

"You..." Du Qingyue said, exasperated, "You're still as bad at talking as ever."

But Xiao Feng's demeanor did put Du Qingyue at ease. Seeing him not show any distaste towards her ugly appearance was quite touching, to say the least!

Of course, if it weren't for the things he said afterward, Du Qingyue would have felt even more moved...

The ward fell back into silence for a while, then Du Qingyue spoke, "The Shen Group has fallen and Shen Tianze will face imprisonment. Shouldn't our marriage also come to an end?"
