Xu Ke and Wang Wu followed him inside.

Xu Ke sniffed. The scent of medicinal herbs still lingered in the kitchen.

To their surprise, the living room contained two loft beds with desks underneath, arranged like a women's double-occupancy dorm room. The bookshelf was also filled with English textbooks. A clothes rack had been deliberately placed in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, with several sets of women's clothing hanging on it.

This brought looks of intense surprise to Xu Ke and Wang Wu's faces.

Feng Wei brought over two stools and said, "Xiao Yu and I were high school classmates. I've known her since then."

"Just like Uncle Wu said, Xiao Yu went abroad to study a year ago."

"But the reason Xiao Yu went abroad is that Ye Feng knew his situation in the Ye Family wasn't what it seemed. On the surface, things looked bright, but it was actually a tumultuous time, and trouble could arise at any moment."

"After their parents passed away, Ye Feng worried that Xiao Yu would have no one to take care of her. He also feared she might be implicated by him, which is why he sent her abroad."

Wang Wu nodded.

He understood this point all too well.

After all, the Wang Family's investigation into Ye Feng having a sister was not done with any kind intentions… If Ye Feng became a thorn in the Wang Family's side, Qin Yu would certainly be the first to suffer. Moreover, while the Ye brothers were united and harmonious, that didn't include the adopted Ye Feng. Everyone knew that Ye Chong and the others looked down on Ye Feng… Therefore, Qin Yu's departure abroad was inevitable.

Xu Ke listened attentively, glancing at the tightly closed door of the adjacent room. Qin Yu must be in there.

Feng Wei continued, "To prevent Xiao Yu from being targeted, Ye Feng had her change her appearance, and she didn't even dare to take a plane."

"He also bypassed the Ye Family and privately hired a highly skilled bodyguard to help Xiao Yu leave Tianhai."

"But who would have known that Xiao Yu was already being watched the moment she was supposed to leave the country?"

"Ambushed by several master assassins, the bodyguard died protecting Qin Yu so she could escape."

"On top of that, Xiao Yu herself was poisoned, and her leg was broken by a single punch…"

"The ambush happened at the port, so after the bodyguard died, Xiao Yu jumped into the sea."

Hearing this, Xu Ke felt a sharp pang in his heart.

It wasn't that he felt particularly sorry for Ye Feng's sister. Rather, it was because he was a brother himself, and combined with what had just happened to Xu Yi, it made him feel a bit awful.

"At the time, since she was poisoned and had jumped into the sea, her pursuers assumed she was as good as dead and didn't follow her," Feng Wei explained.

"Luckily, I happened to be near the port and managed to rescue her. It felt like fate."

"After I helped her leg heal, she knew it would be extremely risky to stay in the country or go abroad, so she decided to live here under an assumed name."

Upon hearing this, Wang Wu's curiosity was piqued. "Then how did you two manage to deceive Ye Feng?"

Given how protective he was, Ye Feng would definitely have been keeping close tabs on Qin Yu's situation after she went abroad. Wang Wu was very curious how Feng Wei had managed to hide the truth for a whole year.

Feng Wei said, "I spoofed the IP address so Xiao Yu could video chat with Ye Feng without revealing her location."

"Plus, during holidays and festivals, Qin Yu would always say it was for her safety that she couldn't return to Tianhai. She also told Ye Feng not to visit her at school to avoid putting her in danger."

"When Ye Feng sent packages overseas, I even had to ask someone abroad to sign for them and ship them back here…"

Xu Ke gave Feng Wei a look of admiration.

Impressive. Now he finally understood why the living room was set up like a women's dormitory… It was all to maintain the pretense that Qin Yu was studying abroad.

Hearing about Feng Wei's numerous schemes, Wang Wu became even more curious. "What about the bodyguard?"

If you can fake Qin Yu's presence in the country, what did you do about her bodyguard who died?

"I lied to Ye Feng and said the bodyguard got a new phone," Feng Wei answered. "And since my build is similar to his, I could also pretend to be him if needed…"

Wang Wu also shot him a look of admiration.

Feng Wei continued, "But while Xiao Yu can live here anonymously, the poison in her body can't be cured."

"I wanted to find a skilled doctor for her, but most of the top doctors in Tianhai have ties to the Six Great Families, which would make it easy for her to be discovered."

"What's more, with my status, I probably couldn't even get an appointment with them."

"And if we tried to take Qin Yu out of Tianhai, we would very likely be found by people from the Ye Family. So, we can only rely on the medicinal herbs I buy to keep her hanging on."

"I've been working hard all this time, earning money to buy her medicine and keeping an eye out for a skilled doctor."

"I originally didn't want to come to you, but Xiao Yu's condition has become critical. I had no choice but to take the risk."

Xu Ke smiled. "Then how did you know I have medical skills?"

He couldn't remember ever revealing his medical abilities in front of Feng Wei.

"Everyone in the Wang Family Squad knows you saved Ye Chong at the Golden K Bar. They thought you were just talking big, but I didn't," Feng Wei said seriously.

Xu Ke smiled again.

Feng Wei added, "Besides, the main reason I wanted to get to know you in the first place was because I knew you could save people."

Xu Ke was taken aback.

Feng Wei said, "To save Xiao Yu, I've been keeping a close watch on news from all the major hospitals."

"The fact that you saved Ouyang Hao's son at the hospital was suppressed by Family Head Wang and the hospital staff, so it never made the news..."

"But I hacked into the hospital's surveillance system. It wasn't hard to find the footage of you bringing someone back from the dead."

Xu Ke: "..."

Wang Wu: "..."

After a moment of silence, Xu Ke asked, "Aren't you afraid of getting caught for being so reckless?"

Feng Wei puffed out his chest, sounding confident despite being in the wrong. "I just browsed the surveillance footage. I didn't tamper with anything, so they won't find out."

Xu Ke: "..."

Is this guy really the lowest-ranking member of the Wang Family Squad?! Hacking into a major hospital's surveillance system just like that? He was starting to suspect that when Deng Mingjie sent Feng Wei instead of Pan Qi, it wasn't to humiliate him but to help him… How could he have specifically sent such a capable person to him?

As if reading his mind, Feng Wei said, "When you asked Deng Mingjie to send someone over, I volunteered for the job."

"I've had my eye on you from the start. I just never dared to ask for your help because the person who needed saving is Ye Feng's sister."

Feng Wei knew that if he had approached Xu Ke, Qin Yu would be doomed if Xu Ke harbored any intention of dealing with Ye Feng. But he'd had no other choice.

Fortunately, his gamble had paid off.

Hearing this, Xu Ke finally understood everything.

No wonder when Feng Wei first saw him, he had blurted out, "I've wanted to meet you for a long time." That must have been an unintentional slip of the tongue... Later, Feng Wei claimed he was just interested in Wong Qifu's man, saying Xu Ke looked unfathomable and handsome…

At that time, Wang Wu, who was standing beside them, had actually thought Feng Wei had a keen eye for talent to have seen through all that. Now it was clear that Feng Wei had known about Xu Ke's extraordinary medical skills all along. He had just been joking around to cover up his earlier slip of the tongue.

"So," Feng Wei said, looking at Xu Ke after finishing his story. A hint of tension and unease crept onto his face. "Now that you know Qin Yu's true background, will you still save her?"
