Upon leaving the Ouyang Family, Zhu Bufan took a taxi directly back to the Zhou Family.

Ye Bing'er was at the Zhou Family's residence, and once the Zhou Family learned she was Zhu Bufan's girlfriend, they treated her with great courtesy and friendliness. Zhou Xin stayed by her side the entire time, with the sole purpose of helping Zhu Bufan.

Zhu Bufan had called Zhou Xin, instructing him to keep an eye on Ye Bing'er at all times, preventing her from wandering off aimlessly or coming to look for him.

His current self had gotten entangled with the Yuwen Family, a second-tier major clan that not even the Zhou Family dared to confront directly. The Yuwen Family held a kill-on-sight vendetta against him.

Even the matter concerning Ye Bing'er's father was not yet clear. If Ye Bing'er were to seek him out, wouldn't that be like throwing herself into the tiger's den?

Another reason was that Zhu Bufan believed that the Yuwen Family was surely searching for Ye Bing'er in the shadows. He had caused a scene at Yuwen Cangsong's wedding and even killed Yuwen Cangsong, all to save Ye Bing'er.

Besides, he had announced at the wedding venue that Ye Bing'er was his girlfriend, and by proclaiming "Yuwen Cangsong is stealing my girlfriend," the Yuwen Family would certainly be looking for her. If Ye Bing'er were to show up, the Yuwen Family would definitely capture her and use her as a hostage to threaten him.

This was also the reason why Zhu Bufan wanted Zhou Xin to stay close to Ye Bing'er these days.

Of course, the initial decision not to leave Ye Bing'er in Tianhai City was precisely to resolve all her troubles, including those of her father's.

Over these days, Zhu Bufan had tried every possible means, and this included making arrangements with Wang Guozhang.

During these days, Zhu Bufan secretly met with Wang Guozhang.

He made it a point to meet alone, without letting Wang Guozhang bring his wife along, making his intentions very clear.

On that day, Zhu Bufan laid out everything to Wang Guozhang.

Including their chance encounter on the airplane, how he had saved Wang Guozhang, and what affliction Wang Guozhang had suffered from at the time.

At first, Wang Guozhang did not believe Zhu Bufan, as he could not fathom his wife would harm him, which seemed utterly illogical. His wife had devoted herself wholeheartedly to him over many years; how could she possibly harm him?

Zhu Bufan had anticipated these doubts. How could he possibly convince Wang Guozhang with his one-sided testimony alone?

It simply seemed impossible.

The saying goes, "Husband and wife owe each other a hundred days of grace for one day of marriage."

Wang Guozhang had shared innumerable days of affection with his wife. How could Zhu Bufan's mere words sway such a bond? Clearly, it was very unlikely.

Since Zhu Bufan had considered these factors, he naturally did not bluntly relay this to Wang Guozhang.

After all, handling such a matter carelessly could smear him with scandal, even though Zhu Bufan was a lifesaver to Wang Guozhang. People from such powerful families do not necessarily place much importance on their saviors.

Once they have repaid the favor, finding an excuse to eliminate their benefactor is quite feasible.

Therefore, Zhu Bufan was not planning to use the status of 'savior' to garner assistance from Wang Guozhang.

His goal was to use the opportunity of helping Wang Guozhang get rid of the 'assassin' that had been lurking by his side for years to secure Wang Guozhang's protection for Ye Bing'er's father!

Thus, on that day, Zhu Bufan presented evidence of Wang Guozhang's wife's plot to kill Wang Guozhang.

How did he acquire this evidence?

In fact, Zhu Bufan owed thanks to Wang Guozhang's wife for this.

By foiling the plans of Wang Guozhang's wife, she developed an extreme hatred for Zhu Bufan.

At this moment, Zhu Bufan had just arrived at the Wang Family, so naturally, Wang Guozhang's wife intended to plot to kill Zhu Bufan. Unfortunately for her, her plan backfired, and she was caught by Zhu Bufan instead.

Incidentally, Zhu Bufan happened to possess the Medical Saint's Treasure.

With a prescription from the Medical Saint's Treasure, he forced Wang Guozhang's wife to tell the truth, recorded her confession, and then played it for Wang Guozhang to hear.

At the same time, Zhu Bufan also uncovered the mystery behind the origins of Wang Guozhang's wife.

As it turned out, Wang Guozhang's wife was originally named Niu Wei, who lived in Niu Village, Xiangyang City. Her family—parents and an older brother—lived a harmonious and joyful life.

At that time, Niu Wei's life took a turn upon being accepted into a well-known university in the Capital City.

Being admitted to a famous university was a joyous occasion, especially for a child from a mountain village.

Thus, Niu Wei's family was extremely happy, yet the one thing that troubled them was the tuition fee.

After all, attending a university in the Capital City required a significant sum of money.

Niu Wei's brother and father decided to look for jobs in the Capital City to help gather the tuition fees for her. After discussing it, Niu Wei went to the Capital City together with her father and brother.

As it happened, by coincidence, Niu Wei's brother and father both ended up working for the Wang Family's business.

At the time, there was a warehouse in the Wang Family's operations intended for shipping goods for online orders.

Who could have expected a massive fire to claim the lives of Niu Wei's father and brother?

Normally, no one could be blamed for a fire, unless it was arson. Of course, this fire at the Wang Family's shipping warehouse was not an act of arson.

Upon hearing the news, Niu Wei's mother was stricken with a rage-induced illness, requiring a large sum for surgery, while Niu Wei herself was plunged into dismay, intending to seek compensation from the Wang Family.

However, at this time, to cover up the news, the Wang Family outright denied that the warehouse was theirs and even found someone willing to falsely claim ownership and serve prison time for it.

Since someone was willing to go to prison, it was certain that compensation was out of the question.

Adding to the difficulties, Niu Wei's family came from a remote mountain village. Now, she needed money for college, for the burial of her brother and father, and most critically for her ailing mother.

All of these required a substantial amount of money. Had things proceeded normally, Niu Wei could have received a hefty compensation, but due to the Wang Family's attempt at a cover-up, she was denied that compensation.

And because she didn't receive that compensation, Niu Wei's mother passed away in a state of helplessness.

So, Niu Wei sought revenge!

After many years of meticulous planning, Niu Wei had finally managed to get close to Wang Guozhang, designing a massive conspiracy that could bring the high and mighty Wang Family to their knees.

However, unexpectedly, all her plans were thwarted by Zhu Bufan, this guy who unexpectedly intervened.

Niu Wei harbored deep hatred towards Zhu Bufan, which is why she plotted to kill him. It was precisely because of this that she fell into Zhu Bufan's hands, and Zhu Bufan came to know the whole truth.

Originally, Zhu Bufan had intended to help Niu Wei, but after careful consideration, he thought to himself,

When will the cycle of vengeance ever end?

He simply laid out the entire series of events to Wang Guozhang to see how he would handle the situation.

And for himself, it was a way to get the Wang Family to protect Ye Bing'er's father.

While it may seem inhumane, it was the best solution at the moment. After all, Niu Wei had genuinely fallen in love with Wang Guozhang.
