Early morning.

The person on the bed slowly opened their eyes, and there were green and purple marks on their fair skin.

Zhou Ya slightly moved his body, and the pain from his lower body caused his complexion to become even paler, which was already devoid of any color.

Fear and terror enveloped him.

He didn't know what to do. If his older brother were here...

By the way, brother!

Zhou Ye called his older brother, but he didn't pick up. He thought that his brother was still sleeping, but it turned out that was not the case.

At this moment, in another room.

A person dressed in a suit and leather shoes stepped on a hand with prominent bones. The man squinted his eyes, while his other foot kicked the nearby mobile phone away.

"Do I allow you to use your phone?"

The cold voice pierced Zhou Xun's heart, and he looked at the man, struggling to say, "I want to know... how is my younger brother..."

"I'll personally tell you then," Qin Fangtan said with a smirk. "I rode him, using the hole in front. Are you satisfied with this answer?"

Zhou Xun looked at him in a pleading manner and said bitterly, "Please spare Xiaoye... I'm willing to do anything for you..."

"What can this body of yours do?" Qin Fangtan scoffed, kicking the man with a mocking tone. "Anything at all?"

Zhou Xun, clutching his injured arm, crawled towards the other side and spoke in a subservient tone, "As long as it's your command, I can do it!"

Upon hearing this, the smile on Qin Fangtan's face immediately vanished without a trace. He crouched down, looking at the pale-faced person expressionlessly, and coldly said, "Such a pity, Xun Ge. You used to be a business elite, but now you've become a plaything beneath my feet. Do you think this is retribution?"

Zhou Xun remained silent. It was true that he was the one who had made a mistake back then. It was his selfishness that caused the death of Wu Yu.

"Why aren't you saying anything? Do you also think what I said is right?"

"In regards to what happened back then... it was my fault... but Xiaoya is innocent, he had no knowledge of it at all!"

"So what if that's the case? What I hate is your Zhou family, of course, I must include your little brother in that." Qin Fangtan caressed his face, his gaze cold and sinister. "Once you all become dogs despised by thousands, I'll let you go."

Zhou Xun shook his head, pleading sorrowfully, "Please, please let Xiao Ye go! He is still a child, he can't handle this..."

"You see, when I lost my abilities in Wu language, I was also a child, but I managed to get through it just fine. It's you who has become more timid as you grow older. Can't you have a little confidence in your younger brother?"

"I only have him as a younger brother..."

"I'm on my own too." Qin Fangtan patted Zhou Xun's face and smiled as he said, "Xun Ge, don't worry, if anything happens to your little brother, I'll take him to the hospital right away. I won't let him off so easily."

After speaking, he leaned over and kissed her on the lips, warning her, "Don't even think about seeking help. If you mess with me, your little brother and your father will both suffer the consequences."

Zhou Xun opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't utter a single word or sentence. He just lowered his eyes, wearing a lifeless expression on his face.

Qin Fangtan glanced at him and laughed, asking, "By the way, I heard that your younger brother has a boyfriend at school. Is that true or false?"

Zhou Xun instantly became alert, he looked at the person and slightly moved the corner of his mouth, "...No... my younger brother has always been alone..."

Qin Fangtan nodded with a puzzled look on his face. Suddenly, he clicked his tongue in frustration and said, "I don't know whether to believe you or not by the way you look. Alright, I'll go check it out myself to avoid any big misunderstandings."

Zhou Xun grabbed his sleeve and said sorrowfully, "Please don't torture him... I beg you..."

The man's submissive appearance did not evoke the slightest pity from Qin Fangtan. He moved away from the man's hand and said coldly, "Your back hand is swollen. You should apply some medicine. As for your brother, with such a peculiar body, not only me, but I reckon many people are curious. In that case, you do the math, how much benefit can your brother bring me?"

Zhou Xun remained silent, tightly clutching the corner of the other person's clothes, refusing to let them go. Qin Fangtan squinted his eyes slightly, a hint of disgust in his gaze. Seeing that the other party was not allowing him to leave, he no longer pretended to be gentle and forcefully kicked the other person away.

Under the man's pleading voice, Qin Fangtan left the room.

At the moment the door closed, he said to the bodyguard, "Go and investigate Zhou Ye's lover, and while you're at it, bring them here as guests."

"Yes, Lord Qin," he replied.

A slight smile curved the corners of Qin Fangtan's mouth, and a gleam of anticipation flickered in his eyes. The real show was about to begin.
