After Yang Fei left, Zhu Chengpeng returned to the suite and said with concern to Tong Yunshu, "Yun Shu, you weren’t injured, were you?"
Tong Yunshu shook her head, "No, I was just a little frightened, that’s all."
Zhu Chengpeng snorted heavily, murderous intent flashing in his eyes, "That Tong Jianzhou has gone too far. Although your mother has been dead for many years, you are still the granddaughter of the Zhu Family. For Tong Jianzhou to treat you is to completely disregard the Zhu Family. As your Fourth Uncle, I will definitely see justice done for you on this visit."
Tong Yunshu shook her head and said, "Thank you, Fourth Uncle. Right now, I don’t have any evidence to prove that he was behind this, so there’s nothing I can do to him. I can only wait for another opportunity."
Zhu Chengpeng said angrily, "Are we just going to let this go?"
Tong Yunshu replied, "Of course not. I used to think that as a woman, it was enough for me to work hard to manage the family’s business and contribute to the Tong Family’s prosperity. I wasn’t particularly keen on becoming the Family Head, but given how he has treated me, even if I don’t become the Tong Family’s future heiress, I won’t let him succeed."
Zhu Chengpeng said, "Yun Shu, my older brother said when I came here, if you want to fight for it, you should. The Zhu Family will absolutely support you and not let you be bullied."
Tong Yunshu was very touched and said, "Thank you, Fourth Uncle."
Yet, she knew in her heart that she could not let the Zhu Family get directly involved; otherwise, it would mean something entirely different.
Even if she ascended to power with the help of the Zhu Family, the Tong Family would disintegrate from within.
"So, what do we do now?" Zhu Chengpeng asked.
Tong Yunshu thought for a moment and said, "Let’s go to the hospital first."
When they arrived at the hospital, Qin Hu was lying on the bed, his face pale and filled with despair and unwillingness.
"Miss, I...I’m sorry, I’m no good. I can’t believe I let something nearly happen to you in Binhai," said Qin Hu with teary eyes upon seeing Tong Yunshu.
They had contacted each other after Tong Yunshu regained consciousness the night before and were aware of what had happened.
Tong Yunshu comforted him, "You’re not to blame for yesterday. Uncle Zhou was killed, and your presence wouldn’t have made much difference by my side."
Qin Hu said angrily, "Tong Jianzhou has gone too far. We’re all from the Tong Family. How could he do this to you?"
Tong Yunshu clenched her teeth and shook her head, "There’s no proof for this matter, let’s not talk about it anymore."
Qin Hu also learned about the silencing of Sun Kangnian and the Shadow Assassin. He said indignantly, "I can testify. Yesterday, Tong Jianzhou said many things in front of me. I..."
Tong Yunshu shook her head, "It’s useless. If he doesn’t admit it, you can’t do anything to him."
"But I’m also from the Tong Family, working for the family. He should give me an explanation for attacking me so viciously without distinguishing right from wrong," Qin Hu said, his face filled with resentment, looking at Tong Yunshu.
Tong Yunshu nodded firmly, assuring Qin Hu, "I will definitely seek justice for you over this matter. For now, just focus on recovering."
Qin Hu gave a wry smile.
He knew Tong Yunshu would absolutely stand up for him, but after all, Tong Jianzhou was of the Tong Family’s direct lineage, and he was just someone working for the family.
Moreover, now that he was crippled, having become a useless person, how could the Tong Family severely punish Tong Jianzhou for his sake?
In the end, they would probably just give him some money.
Even so, Tong Jianzhou would definitely cause him trouble in the future.
The more Qin Hu thought about it, the bleaker he felt. This was the fate of a person from the Martial Arts World.
"Miss, I know your current situation isn’t good, and I understand your difficulties. Let’s not worry about my situation for now, think about yourself. If Tong Jianzhou can do this sort of thing once, he will certainly do it again. Now that Brother Zhou is dead and I’m disabled, you have no one reliable by your side. You must be careful," Qin Hu ultimately expressed his gratitude for Tong Yunshu’s kindness over the years, setting aside his resentment and instead started worrying about her wellbeing.
Tong Yunshu was moved and said to Qin Hu, "Don’t worry, one day, I will let you take your revenge with your own hands."
Qin Hu chuckled, knowing that Tong Yunshu genuinely felt sorry for him, but also more keenly aware that Tong Jianzhou dared to treat her so ruthlessly because he must have something to rely on.
Furthermore, as Tong Yunshu was a woman, the Tong Family would probably prefer Tong Jianzhou to inherit the family business.
"How are your injuries? Is there still a chance for recovery?" Tong Yunshu asked.
Qin Hu gave a sorrowful smile, shook his head, and said, "The meridians in my limbs have been destroyed. Even if they heal, I’m finished. From now on, I won’t be able to serve you as I did."
Tong Yunshu clenched her fists tight, her heart raging to the extreme.
Tong Jianzhou, I, Tong Yunshu, swear I won’t let you off the hook.
After calming down, Tong Yunshu remembered something and said to Qin Hu, "Your condition might not be hopeless, come, I’ll take you to Yang Fei, he might have a way to cure you."
Qin Hu’s eyes lit up upon hearing this.
He knew Yang Fei had cured Luu Shouwang before, and although his own condition was a bit more unique, Yang Fei’s medical skills were exceptional, and maybe he had a method.
Meanwhile, after parting with Tong Yunshu, Yang Fei found Zhang Long, Xu Mao, and Xu Xingzhou, then they came upon the corpses of Sun Kangnian and that Shadow Assassin.
After examining them, Yang Fei said, "It’s true, they died from a fatal poison."
Zhang Long said, "Tong Jianzhou came prepared this time, he had everything calculated, even how to erase evidence after a failure, it’s going to be troublesome for Miss Tong."
Xu Xingzhou nodded, "That’s right, Qin Hu is disabled, Zhou Chun is dead, and to my knowledge, Miss Tong no longer has reliable people by her side. If Tong Jianzhou continues to target her, she won’t be able to protect herself."
By the end, he looked at Yang Fei with a somewhat odd expression.
Yang Fei was speechless, "What are you staring at me for?"
Xu Xingzhou said, "I just think Miss Tong is quite pitiful, she’s always been good to you, and you shouldn’t just abandon her."
Yang Fei said, "How have I abandoned her, I saved her last night, and protected her all night. I only left this morning after her uncle arrived, she is safe now."
"But you should also help her, she’s a weak woman, she might have some talent in business, but in this kind of bloody and ruthless struggle, it’s doubtful she can compete with Tong Jianzhou," Xu Xingzhou said.
Yang Fei helplessly said, "This is the Tong Family’s internal affair, it’s not appropriate for us to interfere."
Xu Xingzhou curled his lip, "Then what about my Xu Family’s affairs, you plan to meddle in those, don’t you?"
Yang Fei was at a loss for words.
Xu Mao cleared his throat and said, "Xingzhou, you don’t understand, Mr. Yang is afraid of getting too involved with Miss Tong. He’s not afraid of offending other members of the Tong Family, but rather he’s afraid of emotional debt."
Zhang Long also sighed, "It’s hardest to accept the grace of a beautiful woman!" ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ novel~fire~net
Yang Fei gave a speechless look, glaring at Zhang Long, "Stop speaking in such a mocking tone."
Zhang Long coughed dryly and fell silent.
Xu Xingzhou egged on, "I just don’t understand, why would any man fear a woman’s affection? Miss Tong is such a stunning and exceptional beauty, in someone else’s case, she wouldn’t be able to get out of bed today."
Xu Mao and Zhang Long chuckled.
Yang Fei flushed with anger, "You think everyone is as lecherous as you are?"
"If a man isn’t lecherous, can he even be considered a man?" Xu Xingzhou argued righteously.
Xu Mao looked at Yang Fei and couldn’t help asking, "Mr. Yang, don’t tell me you’re still a virgin?"
Yang Fei was furious, gave him a severe look, and stood up to leave, "I’m off to work."
Watching Yang Fei’s retreating figure, the three grown men were stunned.
"Damn, is he really still a virgin?" Xu Xingzhou was shocked, "So handsome, so capable, and still a virgin at twenty-three?"
"No wonder he didn’t take the chance yesterday. He’s never tasted it before, if he had, how could he resist?" Xu Mao said understandingly.
Zhang Long suddenly said, "But isn’t Mr. Yang married? How can he still be a virgin?"
"Yeah, maybe he has some problems in that department?" Xu Mao muttered to himself, puzzled.
Xu Xingzhou’s face took on a peculiar expression, he sighed, "Alas, I never expected someone like Mr. Yang to have flaws. Let’s not bring this up in front of Mr. Yang in the future, nobody is perfect, it’s normal to have some flaws."
"But as a man, is this kind of flaw normal?" Zhang Long asked weakly.
