Xiao Feng wanted to say that he's already brought down one of Jiangcheng's two giants, the Shen Group, and now the other giant, the Chang Family, is also obedient to him. Where do others find the courage to continue opposing him? Are they that stubbornly determined to risk their lives? Chapter One Hundred Seventy: Lone Wolf Returns

However, seeing that Du Qingyue wasn't joking, he followed up, "If someone were to plot against me, what do you think their approach would be?"

"I'm just speculating. In such a situation, they might unite to resist. Specifically targeting you, how would I know?" Du Qingyue glanced at Xiao Feng. "But for someone like you, it would probably be from a lifestyle angle, like a beauty trap or something."

"What do you mean 'someone like me'?" Xiao Feng was displeased. "What's wrong with someone like me? I've been holding back with such a beauty around like you and haven't made a move. Doesn't that say something?"

Du Qingyue intended to retort, but a second thought stopped her. Denying Xiao Feng's words would also mean denying the fact that she's a beauty.

There's no doubt, Xiao Feng had played a clever move, tying Du Qingyue's beauty to his own morals, making it hard for her to refute.

Xiao Feng suddenly frowned and said, "Suppose those people want to deal with me. They might not necessarily have to do something to me; they might take action against you. Think about it, you're like a piece of juicy meat out in the open, any demon or ghost could just grab you."

"Not likely." Du Qingyue shook her head. "Their goal is to not pay the same price as the Chang Family, so using me to threaten you wouldn't be wise. Even if you agreed not to trouble them, once I'm released, you could just go back on your word."

"What you said makes some sense," Xiao Feng arched an eyebrow, "but if they're really planning to use you against me, they've calculated wrong."

"Why?" Du Qingyue couldn't help but ask.

Xiao Feng chuckled lightly. "Because no matter how they threaten, the answer they get will only be one..."

"What?" Du Qingyue pressed.

"Isn't it obvious?" Xiao Feng winked. "I'd definitely have them tear up the note."

"..." Du Qingyue's face darkened. It turns out that Xiao Feng's recent facade had been so good that she forgot what his true nature was like.

In Du Qingyue's expectations, Xiao Feng should at least say something like, "I won't allow that to happen," but who would have thought he'd encourage them to tear the note?

Although Du Qingyue knew Xiao Feng was joking, she feared Xiao Feng viewed those lurking enterprises, ready to move, too lightly.

Du Qingyue wasn't worried about herself but couldn't help worrying for Xiao Feng!

"Alright, just rest for a while, I'll sit right here." Xiao Feng said softly.

"Okay." Du Qingyue responded and closed her eyes. However, with her long eyelashes occasionally trembling, it was evident she was not asleep.

Du Qingyue opened her eyes, seeing Xiao Feng looking at her with a hurt expression. "Do you really have the heart to let me sit here all night?"

"You said it yourself, I didn't ask you to sit here." Du Qingyue replied expressionlessly. She knew what was on her mind and didn't resist the idea of sharing a bed with Xiao Feng.

But the problem was, this guy clearly wanted her to be the first to speak.

Du Qingyue felt angry at the thought that he'd make someone else initiate his benefit, reaching a level of shamelessness that could be called extreme!

Seeing that Du Qingyue opening up was unlikely, Xiao Feng had no choice but to turn off the light and shamelessly lay next to Du Qingyue.

Du Qingyue's face instantly turned red, but when Xiao Feng embraced her, she felt an overwhelming sense of peace that momentarily overcame her shyness. She stopped resisting and quietly rested her cheek on Xiao Feng's chest, listening to the strong heartbeat, and slowly drifted into sleep...

Xiao Feng held Du Qingyue with one hand and placed the other behind his head, staring thoughtfully at the ceiling.

Just now, Du Qingyue's words rang a warning bell for Xiao Feng. Even though he still thought it unlikely those enterprises would dare target him, any possibility, however small, had to be taken seriously.

Though Xiao Feng claimed to be unfazed, it was himself he was indifferent about. If those enterprises dared confront him openly, he wouldn't feel intimidated at all. But the key was, since they're lurking in the shadows, it's obvious they wouldn't fight head-on and would definitely sneak around with tricks.

This made Du Qingyue the best breach point. Unless this breach was sealed, Xiao Feng could never be at ease.

Just then, the phone rang. Xiao Feng picked it up and saw an unfamiliar number without a note.

Xiao Feng answered the call, and a familiar voice came through right away, "Bro, where are you now?"

"Lone Wolf?!" Xiao Feng exclaimed with joy. Just when he was worrying about finding the right person to protect Du Qingyue, the right candidate delivered himself.

Lone Wolf said, "I've got all my papers ready. If Bro has a place for me, I'm willing to continue following you."

"Perfect timing; there's something I need you to do. Come to the Central Hospital, and we'll discuss it in detail when we meet." Xiao Feng lowered his voice and told Lone Wolf the ward number, as if afraid of waking Du Qingyue, but didn't know she had already woken when the phone rang.

After hanging up the phone, Du Qingyue said expressionlessly, "Can't you change your ringtone?"

"You're awake?" Xiao Feng was a little surprised and then said, "It's just a ringtone, why change it?"

Du Qingyue explained, "First off, the song is really old, and your ringtone is so loud. People might think you're using an old-style phone."

"As long as I'm used to it, who cares what others think." Xiao Feng said, unconcerned.

Seeing Xiao Feng insist, Du Qingyue didn't push further. But thinking of Xiao Feng's last words before the call ended, she couldn't help asking, "The person you just talked to, is he called Lone Wolf?"

Xiao Feng nodded, "We've known each other for many years. He's a great guy, just a bit scary-looking, so be prepared."

Du Qingyue didn't think much of it initially. But half an hour later, seeing a burly man with crisscrossing scars on his face walk in carrying a fruit basket, she was startled and instinctively grabbed Xiao Feng's hand.

Xiao Feng tightened his grip on Du Qingyue's hand and smiled, "This is Lone Wolf, the person I told you about."

He then turned to Lone Wolf and introduced, "Your sister-in-law, Du Qingyue."

Lone Wolf put the fruit basket on the floor, then gave Du Qingyue a standard ninety-degree bow, laughing heartily, "Hello, sis!"

"Hello!" Du Qingyue replied politely, though feeling a bit awkward.

Judging by appearance, Lone Wolf seemed much older than Xiao Feng. Being called 'sis' by someone older made Du Qingyue somewhat uncomfortable.

"Hey Lone Wolf, it's been a while, and you've become more considerate, knowing not to come empty-handed." Xiao Feng joked.

"People have to learn to grow up, right?" Lone Wolf chuckled.

Xiao Feng nodded with satisfaction, "Let's not dwell on little talk. I've arranged a room for you in the next ward. When I'm not around, keep an eye on things here, and hold down any suspicious people you see."

"Don't worry, leave it to me!" Lone Wolf said with a chest thump for reassurance.

Xiao Feng found Lone Wolf reliable, trusting their bond forged in trials, more solid than one of mere interest.

The hospital found it odd that someone would use a ward as a hotel and even a premium room, but as long as someone paid, they had no objections.

After handling the paperwork, Xiao Feng returned to Du Qingyue's room and found her already asleep. He went over to tuck her in, then turned off the light and walked to the window, staring into the night with dangerous glimmers in his eyes.

Regardless of who, anyone intending to act in the shadows should be prepared to pay a bloody price!

Just then, out of the corner of his eye, he noticed a figure. Looking towards the hospital's main entrance, he saw a woman standing gracefully there.

A moment later, the woman raised her head, her gaze fixed on his window...
