After leaving the Jinling Grand Hotel, Xu Fan drove straight home.

He needed to clear his thoughts on the matter that followed, hoping to find some peace at home.

By the time he arrived, it was around five in the afternoon.

When he entered the apartment, he could see that Zhou Keren and Qin Mengyue were both at home.

"Xu Fan, you're back?"

"Yeah."

Due to the issue with Xiaodie, Xu Fan wasn't in the mood for banter with the two and responded absentmindedly before planning to head into his room to rest.

"Yueyue, do you think this package is for you, or is it mine?"

"How would I know? Just open it and find out."

At that moment, Xu Fan turned his head unconsciously as he heard the two chatting on the sofa, and could see Zhou Keren holding a mail package.

"Hehe, Yueyue, could it be some handsome guy from your police department secretly admiring you, sending you a gift?"

"Really, they didn't even write a name? That idiot, don't they know two beauties live here?"

Perhaps worried that Xu Fan behind her might misunderstand, Qin Mengyue blushed for once and retorted, "Quit it, if those guys dare to have any crooked thoughts about me, I'd break their legs!"

"Hee hee, Yueyue gets nervous, huh? Well, I'm going to see what goodies are inside first!"

After a bit of banter, Zhou Keren was about to tear open the package.

But just as her hand touched the opening, Xu Fan walked over.

"Give me the package."

"Huh?"

Zhou Keren paused her movements immediately, looking curiously at Xu Fan.

Her large eyes whirled around, and soon, she turned her head away.

"Hmph! I'm not giving it to you."

Lately, this guy hadn't been coaxing her, and due to face and status issues, she wasn't in a position to approach him proactively. Now recalling this, Zhou Keren couldn't help but act spoiled.

She didn't care much about what was inside the package, thinking Xu Fan probably assumed it contained a gift from a boy to her, and he was getting jealous.

Thinking this, she decided to use this opportunity to make Xu Fan coax her later.

"Hand it over."

However, the reaction she desired did not manifest; instead, Xu Fan's expression grew even more serious.

Feeling a surge of defiance, Zhou Keren pouted and hummed, "I'm not giving it to you!"

As she spoke, Zhou Keren's hand on the seal directly tore it open.

At that moment, Xu Fan moved swiftly like a gust of wind and rushed toward Zhou Keren, slapping the package out of her arms with a smack.

"You..."

This sudden action shocked Zhou Keren significantly, leaving her completely stunned.

Before she could ponder the extent of Xu Fan's jealousy, she turned to look where the package had flown, and her face instantly turned white in terror.

"Ah! Help! Help!"

Reflexively, she jumped up and clung onto Xu Fan.

"This..."

Even someone as bold as Qin Mengyue felt her skin crawl upon seeing what crawled out of the package.

Now, from the torn open package, venomous creatures like snakes, centipedes, and spiders emerged.

Even the bravest of women would be frightened by such creatures...

"It must have been those thugs!"

In the past few days, Qin Mengyue had apprehended a bunch of thugs and now instinctively felt that it was their revenge.

The insults flowed from her mouth as she prepared to kill these disgusting creatures.

"Don't go over."

Xu Fan pulled her back with a stern face, firmly holding her.

"Xu Fan, you a big man, still afraid of these?"

"..."

Qin Mengyue had no idea how she had come up with that notion, Xu Fan shook his head, grabbed a handful of sunflower seeds from the table, and hurled them directly at the group of poisonous creatures crawling out of the box.

The seemingly harmless sunflower seeds, under Xu Fan's control, acted like shotgun pellets fired from a gun barrel, piercing the wrapping and instantly killing all the poisonous creatures.

After a few more throws, Xu Fan turned to look at Qin Mengyue, who was staring in shock.

"These aren't ordinary poisonous creatures..."

If Qin Mengyue had carelessly walked over, it would only have complicated matters.

After briefly explaining to Qin Mengyue, Xu Fan then turned to look at Zhou Keren, who was hanging onto him.

"Time to get down."

Knowing she was just being petulant with him, Xu Fan wasn't the least bit angry.

But Zhou Keren's big eyes were now brimming with tears.

"Xu... Xu Fan, I've been bitten..."

"Damn it!"

At that moment, Qin Mengyue cried out in alarm and crushed a centipede underfoot.

"..."

If she had just obediently listened earlier, none of this would have happened, Xu Fan thought as he laid Zhou Keren on the sofa and asked, "Where were you bitten?"

Seemingly miffed at Xu Fan's earlier reference to 'poisonous creatures', Zhou Keren said fearfully, "It... it just crawled inside my clothes..."

"..."

You silly girl, why didn't you say so earlier?

This thing is highly poisonous; if the venom isn't extracted soon, it could be fatal, Xu Fan looked at Zhou Keren and then said, "Then why aren't you hurrying to take off your clothes?"

"What are you thinking of doing!"

"Back off!"

Before Zhou Keren could properly disrobe, Qin Mengyue stepped directly in front of her.

"Xu Fan, what are you planning to do?"

"..."

What can I do?

Xu Fan gave Qin Mengyue a reproachful look and said, "I'm helping her extract the venom, what else?"

"Stop it, there's no need for you to do this, I'll suck it out myself."

Having already been mistreated by this scoundrel, Qin Mengyue did not want to allow her good friend to be taken advantage of as well, and thus prepared to volunteer.

"Big boobs, no brains..."

"What did you say?"

Apparently dissatisfied with his words, Qin Mengyue puffed out her chest and engaged in a staring contest with him.

Xu Fan smirked and said, "Qin Mengyue, do you understand medical skills? Do you know how to do it?"

"If you don't know, just stand aside and don't delay me from saving her."

"You!"

Qin Mengyue was left fuming, her face flushed with anger. This guy really had the gall to be so rude!

But realizing she was not too knowledgeable about such matters, she begrudgingly stepped aside, not wanting to risk harm to Zhou Keren.

"Yueyue, don't be mad, Xu Fan, Xu Fan is doing this for my sake..."

Zhou Keren watched the two quarrel, feeling somewhat guilty as she spoke.

In fact, her relationship with Xu Fan was just a heartbeat away from revealing hidden feelings, she just didn't know it yet.

"Don't talk, just lie down quietly."

Zhou Keren had already been bitten, and talking or moving could only hasten the spread of the venom inside her body.

Xu Fan had her lie on the sofa, removed her outer clothing, and his hands then reached for the buttons on her close-fitting white blouse...
