This year, Su Yuan's father was diagnosed with uremia and needed a kidney transplant, which naturally required a large sum of money. But Su Yuan had just graduated from college and started working. She had no savings to speak of. She wanted to discuss with her mother the idea of using her dowry to help pay for her father's treatment...

But to her surprise, just when she was about to discuss this with her mother, she received shocking news of her mother's suicide... It was only after she arrived that she learned someone had framed her mother, plunging her into massive debt. Not only had the family's long-operated store been lost, but even after selling the house, they still owed a substantial sum... Ultimately, her mother couldn't cope with the devastation and ended her own life by slitting her wrists...

As for the scoundrel who had tricked her mother, he was living carefree and indulged daily in a life of debauchery, untouchable by the law. After learning the truth, Su Yuan came to Capital City, seeking to avenge her mother...

However, it turned out this person had considerable influence, with ties not only to the local police but also to figures in the underworld. Su Yuan had planned to risk herself last night to deal with the man personally, but unexpectedly... he had already learned of her identity and set another trap for her, almost succeeding in drugging and raping her...

If she hadn't come to her senses and desperately fled, she might not only have failed to get her revenge but also fallen into an even more tragic situation!

Moved by Su Yuan's story, Qin Fang also felt a great deal of emotion. Her willingness to seek revenge for her mother, disregarding her own safety, was undeniably a testament to her filial piety. However, Qin Fang could only describe Su Yuan's actions with two words — "foolish."

"You..."

Hearing such an assessment from Qin Fang immediately made Su Yuan glare at him furiously.

In her eyes, avenging her mother was just and without fault, but Qin Fang's words were hard for her to accept.

"Don't talk nonsense. You just said your father is seriously ill. Instead of trying to find a way to treat him, all you think about is revenge... What if you had succeeded yesterday? Murder leads to prison. Do you want your gravely ill father to see you locked up?"

Qin Fang rebuked her sharply. Su Yuan may have had good intentions, but her approach was something Qin Fang couldn't agree with.

A gentleman's revenge... best served cold.

As long as the enemy was still alive, there would be opportunities for revenge later on. The priority must certainly be to treat her sick father; that was the true focus.

"I... I didn't want to kill... I just wanted him to return the money to me..."

Su Yuan, criticized by Qin Fang, blushed and stammered with difficulty before managing to say just that.

"Expecting your enemy to return your money? Your head must have been kicked by a donkey... Have you ever seen a con artist return the money they swiped from you?"

Qin Fang was left speechless. If con artists really had such a conscience, they wouldn't be con artists at all; they might as well just become monks...

Sorry, misspoke, nowadays monks are even less reliable than con artists!

"I... I..."

Su Yuan's face turned even redder. She couldn't get her words out, and her face was anxious and flushed, looking all the more radiant.

"Forget it, I just can't stand seeing things like this. Tell me how much money you need for your father's treatment, and I'll help you... Treat the illness first, as for revenge... after your father's been treated, I'll help you deal with him. Whatever he gulped down, he'll spit it out double..."

Qin Fang simply couldn't stand such things, not because he couldn't stand con artists. He was now a Thousand Gates Acolyte himself, and historically, the earliest con artists came from Thousand Gate. With Thousand Skills also being known as the art of deception, Qin Fang himself could be considered a con artist...

What Qin Fang couldn't tolerate was that this con artist had preyed on a mother, driving her to such a desperate end... Qin Fang wouldn't care if he hadn't encountered it, but since he had, he could not stand idly by!

"Are you... really willing to help me?"

Seeing Qin Fang's defiant appearance, Su Yuan's face was overtaken with excitement, her lips trembling, hardly able to believe a nearly complete stranger like Qin Fang would agree to help her.

"What's with all the nonsense, just take the money and go treat your father..."

Qin Fang rolled his eyes, thinking this woman just couldn't seem to grasp the concept. His words were already so straightforward; how could she not understand?

"Mm..."

Although Qin Fang didn't repeat himself, Su Yuan understood that he was indeed going to help her. She nodded slightly, acknowledging him with a very soft voice.

However, her expression seemed somewhat unusual, as if she was thinking of something difficult to grasp.

Qin Fang didn't pay it any mind but made a call to Shen Liang, instructing him to withdraw some cash from the bank to give to Su Yuan for her father's treatment.

"Rest assured! If you are willing to help me, I will certainly repay you..."

As Qin Fang hung up the phone, Su Yuan seemed to struggle for a long time before finally managing to utter these words, as though making a very difficult decision.
