Although previously annoyed by Xu Fan's mockery, they were still friends after all.

This time, Qin Mengyue brought people over to her home because she considered both of them friends, hoping they would help her watch out for any issues.

The so-called 'feeding the dog food' was just a joke.

But now, after bringing people over, Xu Fan suddenly lost his temper, and Qin Mengyue genuinely felt unhappy.

She shook off Xu Fan's hand and walked toward Qin Yu.

"Qin Yu, don't bother with this guy; who knows if he just didn't take his medication today..."

Seeing Qin Mengyue's icy demeanor, Qin Yu's mouth quirked up in a smile, then he said, "Mengyue, how could you talk about your roommate like that? I think he's fine."

"It's normal for young people to be a bit temperamental. Perhaps he's been secretly in love with you all along. Now that he sees me here, he's feeling threatened."

Qin Yu said the teasing words jokingly, then looked toward Xu Fan.

He held out his hand and said, "Mengyue is a good girl, but friend, you should not compete with me for her. Otherwise, I'm afraid you'll be hurt."

"Heh..."

Xu Fan had no intention of shaking hands with this guy. A cold laugh was his way of greeting.

He had assumed that Miyamoto Itto-ryu's retaliation would simply involve sending more men to directly end his life. But now, he found the schemes of these Dongying devils more despicable than he had ever imagined.

Planning to use people close to him as a threat?

Xu Fan sneered. Just don't play with fire and end up burning yourself.

Fearing that the conflict might escalate, Qin Mengyue quickly led Qin Yu to the living room. Then, Zhou Keren pulled Xu Fan aside to a corner.

"Xu Fan, what are you doing..."

Zhou Keren hadn't expected Xu Fan to react this way. Looking at him with a puzzled face, she wondered if it was as Qin Yu said—could it be that Xu Fan was secretly in love with Qin Mengyue and felt jealous now that Qin Yu was here?

"You couldn't possibly really like Meng Yue, could you..."

Feeling a bit nervous, Zhou Keren cautiously asked.

"Who would like a woman with zero intelligence..."

Thinking about how Qin Mengyue was foolishly treating this Qin Yu as if he was her own, Xu Fan felt irritated. He cursed with a somber expression.

Heaven knows how many clues Miyamoto Itto-ryu obtained from him to earn such trust from Qin Mengyue.

Regret started to fill Xu Fan as he remembered playing the online game with masks with Qin Mengyue on a whim, which resulted in this naive woman becoming a casualty in his struggle with Miyamoto Itto-ryu...

If Xu Fan had another chance, he would never speak a word to Qin Mengyue online.

But now, it was too late for regrets...

"Alright, I was too impulsive just now. I've run out of medicine at home, I'm going out to buy some medicine."

Now, he had to figure out how to thwart Miyamoto Itto-ryu's plot without endangering the two women. Xu Fan took a deep breath and prepared to go find Xiao Lan across the street.

"How about I go with you."

Zhou Keren looked at Xu Fan with concern, as she wasn't too reassured by letting him go get the medicine alone.

"Don't worry, although I'm injured, I can still walk a few steps without a problem."

Now that Miyamoto Itto-ryu had made their intentions clear to torment him slowly, these Dongying devils probably wouldn't play any tricks for the time being. Xu Fan waved his hand and left on his own.

"Huh? What's with him? He's not really angry, is he?"

Watching Xu Fan leaving the house, Qin Yu, who was currently being entertained by Qin Mengyue, couldn't help but raise an eyebrow and ask a question.

"No, no, Qin Yu, don't misunderstand..."

Zhou Keren quickly waved her hands to explain, "This guy is a bit impulsive, it was all a misunderstanding just now. He's gone out to buy some medicine, and should be back soon."

"Buy medicine?"

Seemingly interested in the term, Qin Yu kept raising his eyebrows as he listened.

"Ah..."

Sitting on the sofa with her cheeks propped in her hands, Zhou Keren sighed and said, "This guy never knows how to take care of himself. Even though he's seriously injured, he left the hospital after just one day..."

"God knows when the wound on his waist will heal."

"I see..."

Clutching the teacup in his hand, Qin Yu listened as Zhou Keren told him all this without any guard, and couldn't help but squint his eyes with a sense of triumph.

He was not like these two ignorant women, heh, Xu Fan hurried out of the hospital clearly because he feared revenge from his side.

However, did he really think that hiding at home would save him from the pursuit of the Miyamoto Itto-ryu?

Heh, with a serious injury on his waist, wouldn't that mean he could be played with however one pleased?

"Alright, Qin Yu, you watch some TV first. Keren and I are going to prepare dinner."

While pondering how his future revenge would be splendid, Qin Mengyue stood up, pulled Zhou Keren along, and went to get busy with dinner.

"Okay, you girls go ahead. I can't cook, so I won't get in the way."

Qin Yu watched the two women enter the kitchen with a smile, then picked up his teacup and started watching the wall clock, waiting patiently.

About twenty minutes later, he saw Xu Fan return home with a bag of medicine.

"Xu Fan, you're back, tired huh? Come, sit down, let's have a chat."

Having been in the house for less than an hour, Qin Yu now took on the attitude of a host as he started speaking to Xu Fan.

Xu Fan snorted but couldn't be bothered to talk. He then walked into the living room, threw the bag of medicine on the table, and sat down majestically across from him.

Upon seeing Xu Fan sit down, Qin Yu unconsciously glanced at the bag of medicine he'd thrown on the table.

After studying it carefully for a moment, his counterpart couldn't help but start laughing.

"My friend, that gunshot wound of yours looks pretty serious, doesn't it?"

"You!"

Seemingly not expecting the other person to guess what kind of injury he had suffered, Xu Fan looked at him with surprise written all over his face.

"Heh, don't be nervous, the game has just started. We'll take our time playing."

Qin Yu quite enjoyed Xu Fan's surprised expression at the moment, and with narrowed eyes, he coldly sneered, "With your current state, aren't you only qualified to be slowly killed by us?"

"What exactly do you want to do?"

Seeing Xu Fan glaring at him with clenched teeth, Qin Yu narrowed his eyes and laughed, "What I want to do is none of your business. However, what exactly did you do in these twenty-three minutes, I wonder?"

Qin Yu, sneering, looked at the bag of medicine and said, "This medicine can be bought near your house. If you account for the round trip, it would be at most a ten-minute affair."

"Heh, if I'm not mistaken, in those thirteen minutes, Xu Fan, you must have played some little tricks with me, right?"

"What, thinking about sending a few people to finish me off after I leave this place?"
