"Hmph, you're so bad!" Lin Fengjiao shyly looked at Gufang. "I've said it before, if this works out, you have to keep your promise to me."

"Of course!" Gufang gently kissed Lin Fengjiao's fragrant lips. "Alright, I should head back now. Staying here too long will make that brute suspicious. Baby, make sure to come see me when you have time."

"Got it!" Lin Fengjiao freed herself from Gufang's hand, straightened her clothes, and quickly walked into the villa.

Seeing that Lin Fengjiao came in alone, Zhou Haijun asked curiously, "Fengjiao, where's Dr. Gu?"

"Oh, he said he had something to do and left." Lin Fengjiao looked at Zhou Huairen sitting on the sofa and hurried over. "Sir, are you alright?"

Zhou Huairen nodded, "Yes, I'm fine thanks to Dr. Gu. Otherwise, these old bones of mine would really be done for."

"Dad, look at what you're saying. Dr. Gu is our best friend. What you said makes it seem like we're outsiders." Zhou Haijun quickly said.

"That's right, sir. Dr. Gu is highly skilled in medicine and has a great relationship with us. Although he hasn't been practicing medicine for many years, he's now dealing in antiques. Once you're feeling better, you should support him." Lin Fengjiao said.

Zhou Huairen raised his head, "Dr. Gu knows about antiques too?"

"Of course, Dad. I told you, there's an antique auction in Yun City this time. Dr. Gu mentioned there would be something good. Since you're an expert in antiques, we thought of bringing you along. He's not familiar with people here and is counting on your guidance." Zhou Haijun added quickly.

Zhou Huairen nodded, "Hmm, Dr. Gu saved my life. Helping him is the least I can do. But you said there's something good, do you know what it is?"

Zhou Haijun scratched his head, "I'm not sure of the specifics, seems like it's some kind of jade."

As he spoke, he looked at Lin Fengjiao, "Is that right?"

Lin Fengjiao nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, something like a lotus jade. We're not too knowledgeable about it, but it seems to be very precious. This time, Dr. Gu is determined to get it."

"Lotus jade?" Zhou Huairen was stunned, thinking to himself: Could it be the Seven-colored Lotus Jade?

This jade has always brought trouble. I nearly died last time I got a piece. It only calmed down after I gave it to Ye Guichen.

Seeing that Ye Guichen seems fine now, he must be quite concerned about this jade.

After thinking it over, Zhou Huairen decided to give Ye Guichen a heads-up later.

However, there's an antique auction here, why haven't I heard about it?

Though puzzled, Zhou Huairen didn't ask more but instructed Zhou Weijun, "Weijun, find out about that antique auction. Get a few tickets and make sure you get one for Dr. Gu too."

"Sure!" Zhou Weijun nodded and agreed.

At this moment, Lin Fengjiao gave Zhou Haijun a look, "Haijun, I have something to talk to you about."

Zhou Haijun was taken aback, "What's up? Just say it here. Dad isn't an outsider."

"Come with me." Lin Fengjiao smiled at Zhou Huairen and then turned to enter another room.

Zhou Haijun shook his head helplessly and said, "Dad, I'll go see what's up. This woman sure has a lot on her mind."

Zhou Huairen nodded, signaling him to go.

After Zhou Haijun and Lin Fengjiao left, Zhou Weijun approached and softly asked, "Dad, what did Brother Ye say to you? Are you really alright?"

Obviously, Zhou Weijun didn't fully trust Dr. Gu, preferring to believe Ye Guichen more.

Zhou Huairen glanced at Zhou Weijun and then shook his head, "I'm fine."

"Really?"

"What, you don't believe me either?" Zhou Huairen waved his hand and suddenly added, "By the way, Weijun, no matter what happens in the future, you must listen to Mr. Ye. No matter how outrageous his words may seem, you must follow them, got it?"

"Dad, what do you mean by that?" Zhou Weijun's face changed, sensing something was off. "Are you hiding something from me?"

Zhou Huairen sighed, "Just remember what I said."

After talking with Ye Guichen, Zhou Huairen thought carefully about Ye Guichen's words and felt that Ye Guichen had a very thorough understanding of things.

In the past, Zhou Huairen only saw Ye Guichen as young and talented in medicine but doubted his problem-solving skills.

But now Zhou Huairen realized that Ye Guichen was incredibly meticulous and seemed capable of anything.

Zhou Huairen wanted to risk figuring out who was out to harm him, but if he accidentally died, it could throw the Zhou family into chaos.

When that time comes, Zhou Weijun might struggle to keep everything under control.

But if Ye Guichen steps in, no matter how big the problem Zhou family faces, it can be resolved.

Seeing Zhou Huairen unwilling to say more, Zhou Weijun just kept silent, watching the room where Zhou Haijun and Lin Fengjiao went.

At this moment, Zhou Haijun looked at Lin Fengjiao with puzzlement, "Fengjiao, why are you being so secretive? What's so important that you can't say in front of my brother and dad?"

"Hmph, your brother and your dad?" Lin Fengjiao pulled Zhou Haijun onto the bed and then placed his hand on her leg. "Haijun, are you really that naive or just pretending? You call them dad and brother, do they really see you as family?"

"What do you mean?" Zhou Haijun frowned, somewhat displeased. "The old man may be my adoptive father, but he's treated me as his own since I was a child. I always knew he treated me better than a biological son."

"You're really too naive." Lin Fengjiao poked Zhou Haijun's forehead. "Better than a biological son? You really believe that? Hmph, if it weren't for your biological father's death saving Zhou Huairen, would he treat you this way? Also, you've been abroad for many years with little contact with him. Your bond is probably long gone. Besides, I've heard Zhou Huairen has an antique shop called Wannian Chang. Forget about the shop itself, the antiques inside are worth billions. Has he ever mentioned giving you a share?"

"What are you getting at?" Zhou Haijun asked, bewildered, "My dad is fine now, why are you talking about this?"

"Fine?" Lin Fengjiao sneered, "How fine could he be when he almost died this morning? Haijun, we've been together for five or six years. Have you forgotten why we came back this time? If Zhou Huairen really dies, you won't get a penny of his assets. You'll just be an adopted son, completely inconsequential. Your biological father gave you to Zhou Huairen, he'd be heartbroken in the afterlife."

At this, Lin Fengjiao sighed, "I shouldn't say some things, but I must remind you: no matter how healthy Zhou Huairen seems, he's old now. Frankly, he could pass away at any time. If that happens, you'll be left with nothing."

Zhou Weijun furrowed his brows, thought for a while, clearly moved by Lin Fengjiao's words, "What do you suggest?"
