This line of reasoning left Liu Zhizhong completely dumbfounded, slightly dazed.
By the time Qian Xuan finished, he turned his head and stared at Liu Zhizhong, demanding, "What else do you want me to do? What more can I do?" Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹·𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾·𝗇𝖾𝗍
Liu Zhizhong felt a chilling shiver course through him, as he swallowed hard in secret.
"Uh… Brother Xuan, with all you've said, if Liu Zhizhong still doesn't understand or won't listen, then he's not even human!"
A smile of satisfaction suddenly appeared on Qian Xuan's face, "Ah! That's right! Haha… worthy of being my good little brother! Listen to me, work hard, and I won't let you down!"
"Thank you, Brother Xuan! But… haha, can I make a small request?"
"Eh? A small request? You're not trying to negotiate a big deal, are you?"
"No, no, absolutely not…" Liu Zhizhong frantically waved his hands and shook his head, lowering his voice, "I wanted to ask, could you… not be an audience when Shu Xiu and I are 'doing that'? It's really quite… haha… uncomfortable…"
"Oh… that…", Qian Xuan nodded, seemingly contemplative, yet quickly replied, "Alright, granted! I won't watch on-site anymore, haha…"
"Thank you, Brother Xuan! You're really too understanding, haha…"
"Of course! Tonight, don't leave. Go to Sister's room, and I'll sleep in the study."
"Ah? Brother Xuan, isn't that a bit inappropriate…"
"Just go when I tell you to go, what's with all the unnecessary talk?" Qian Xuan's voice suddenly turned stern, almost on the verge of breaking down.
Liu Zhizhong was startled and quickly nodded in agreement: "Okay, okay, I'll go, I'll go! After I accompany you for an evening walk, I'll go there, isn't that fine?"
Can't let this psycho really lose it, that would be truly fatal.
Qian Xuan then nodded in satisfaction, "That's more like it. Also, there's another thing I need you to handle."
"Sure, just command me, Brother Xuan!"
By now, Liu Zhizhong was much more obedient and sounded even more compliant.
Of course, seeing as he had laid down such a condition, how could he not be even more obedient?
Qian Xuan whispered, "In the basement of this villa estate I live in, there's a stunning beauty, you might not know about her?"
Liu Zhizhong was taken aback, "Ah? Really? Brother Xuan, are you hiding a beauty here?"
"Go on, that's not it!" Qian Xuan waved his hand and then spoke seriously, "She is from Tianli City, and her family was very prominent before. Unfortunately, after my grandfather passed away, my elders got involved in a conflict, chose the wrong side, or perhaps reached too far, weren't content, so they all went in. The political forces nurtured by her family, from the top down, have all been eradicated over these years. She is the only one left unscathed, but she also encountered significant troubles, so she's been living here under my roof for ten years now."
"Oh…" Liu Zhizhong nodded understandingly, thinking to himself how nasty politics can be! Just being lowly officials was tough with all the plotting, let alone the scale of intrigue Qian Xuan was talking about... too scary to even think about!
Liu Zhizhong said, "So you mean she can't come out into the light? Isn't that taking a huge risk for you, Brother Xuan?"
"She definitely can't be seen. As for the risk, that doesn't exist. Everyone knows she's here with me, she's my 'god sister', so they can't do much about it. After all, when this happened she'd just started university and wasn't involved in her family's affairs, she was innocent."
Liu Zhizhong nodded but still puzzled, asked, "Since the Qian family is so powerful, why should Brother Xuan keep her living in the basement?"
"Because she can't be seen, obviously!"
This is just utterly illogical, isn't it?
Brother Xuan's peculiarities—truly beyond the comprehension of ordinary people…
