By now, it was past midnight, and Xu Fan couldn't possibly take Qin Mengyue home anymore.

This sort of thing, he simply didn't know how to explain.

After driving back to downtown Jinling City, Xu Fan found a hotel, booked two rooms, and then helped the fast-asleep Qin Mengyue to her room.

He carefully laid Qin Mengyue down on the bed and didn't leave until he was sure nothing else was amiss.

Too much had happened that night, and both physically and mentally, Xu Fan was utterly exhausted, yet he couldn't fall asleep easily once he was in bed.

That night, he tossed and turned restlessly.

...

The next morning, Xu Fan got out of bed early.

Last night's events were really too wild, and he didn't know Qin Mengyue's condition in the room next door; Xu Fan was a bit worried and immediately went to check on her.

Knock, knock, knock.

After knocking for quite a while with no response, Xu Fan wondered if maybe she hadn't woken up yet?

That wasn't impossible, given last night's insanity—he found it frightening even to think about now...

"Sir, sir, I am sorry, I forgot to tell you that the lady from this room has already left..."

With no one answering, Xu Fan thought about whether he should go back to his room and wait a little longer when suddenly, a hotel staff member rushed over and revealed the truth to Xu Fan.

"She left?"

Qin Mengyue had actually left? Xu Fan, surprised, raised an eyebrow.

To know, this woman had just lost her virginity; considering how wild she was last night, she could still walk?

"Is this woman trying to get herself killed..."

This behavior was truly rash, Xu Fan cursed under his breath and asked, "How long ago did she leave?"

"Oh, quite some time ago..."

"Damn."

Only God knew if she was alright; Xu Fan cursed again and immediately rushed downstairs.

All he could hope for now was that Qin Mengyue had made it home safely.

After all, with her current condition, she really couldn't handle any reckless behavior.

After hastily checking out, Xu Fan got in his car and hurried back home.

"Qin Mengyue? Are you home?"

Upon entering the house, Xu Fan called out loudly, but after calling several times, no one answered him.

"..."

Where on earth did this woman run off to...

He opened the bedroom door of her and Zhou Keren's room; it was completely empty, without a trace of Qin Mengyue. Xu Fan, with a look of worry, took out his phone and called Qin Mengyue.

It rang several times with no answer, and just as Xu Fan was about to hang up, Qin Mengyue's voice finally came through.

"Hello, why are you calling me..."

Qin Mengyue's voice was cold, even contained a hint of resentment.

To know, their relationship had become intimately close last night, wasn't this attitude a bit too indifferent and ruthless?

Ignoring the chance to complain about Qin Mengyue's irritable temper, Xu Fan was just worried about her current state.

"Where did you run off to? Do you know I've been looking for you for ages?"

"What?"

Upon hearing Xu Fan's complaint, Qin Mengyue couldn't help but frown.

"Didn't you leave me alone at the hotel?"

"..."

This woman seemed to have cast herself as a heartless jerk who had awakened to find herself alone in the hotel, and it was out of spite that she had left.

Xu Fan shook his head helplessly and then said, "I'm saying, Qin Mengyue, couldn't you have called me to ask? So willful, what if something had happened to you?"

"Can you afford to be so reckless in your condition?"

"I..."

At this moment, Xu Fan's concern outweighed any reprimand, leaving Qin Mengyue feeling somewhat embarrassed as she listened.

She had thought that when she woke up, she would open her eyes to find Xu Fan lying next to her.

She was simply too ashamed to admit this understanding to Xu Fan, and with a huff, Qin Mengyue said, "Xu Fan, I certainly don't need you to take care of me."

"Hmph, don't go looking down your nose at me. Right now, you've only gotten my body, but don't even think about having my heart."

"..."

It was hard to imagine how this woman could still act so haughtily under the circumstances. Xu Fan curled his lips and, not wishing to argue, said, "Quit that act, where exactly are you now?"

"Why aren't you going home?"

"I'm staying at a friend's for a few days, no need for your concern."

Qin Mengyue could go home, but with her current condition, she didn't dare to.

Knowing that even a slight movement would bring a tearing sensation from her lower body,

and recalling the deeds she had performed atop Xu Fan the previous night, Qin Mengyue's cheeks flushed crimson.

With her current state, she couldn't possibly deceive Zhou Keren. If Keren found out that something had happened between her and this scoundrel, Qin Mengyue really wouldn't know how to explain it.

Growing impatient, she then said to Xu Fan, "Alright, you don't need to worry about me. After a few days, once I'm a bit better, I'll naturally go back."

"No worries, hanging up now, don't miss me!"

Beep... Beep...

"..."

Without giving him a chance to ask where she was currently staying, Qin Mengyue quickly hung up the phone.

Xu Fan shook his head and laughed, this woman really was something else.

Given Qin Mengyue's temperament, he could only let her have her way now. After resting briefly at home, Xu Fan received a message from Xiao Lan that everyone was waiting for him at the Lingyan Pavilion Clubhouse.

Since last night, he hadn't properly briefed the group, so it was indeed necessary to make the trip. Xu Fan went downstairs, got in his car, and drove to the clubhouse.

"How is it? Did you take care of the factory in the western suburbs?"

In a short while, Xu Fan arrived at the clubhouse and entered a private room, then immediately asked.

Facing up to forty-four dead bodies, if the news got out, it would be incredibly problematic, even though these people were all outsiders from Dongying.

Instead of responding directly to Xu Fan's question, Zhou Zhanlong's group looked at him with almost worshipful eyes, marveling at his calm demeanor.

Even though they weren't at the scene last night, after rushing to the western suburbs factory upon receiving Xu Fan's message and witnessing the horrific aftermath, they could barely imagine the terror of the previous night.

Forty-four assassins, each concealed in a hiding spot, were all waiting for Xu Fan to fall into their trap.

Yet, even this ruthless ambush failed to do anything to Xu Fan.

On the contrary, they died more horribly than the next.

Seeing Xu Fan's composed expression, everyone was filled with disbelief.

It was simply unimaginable that after killing so many people, Xu Fan could remain so serene.

"Boss, you really got guts..."

Secretly rejoicing that it wasn't him who had faced off against Xu Fan, Zhou Zhanlong involuntarily gave him a thumbs-up.
