"A group of useless things!"

As the woman let out a furious roar, the people by her side turned pale with fright. Trembling, one of them stammered, "Sis Hong... please calm down! I..."

"You have the audacity to say so!" Hong Yi kicked the person, his forehead veins bulging. "You didn't notify me when Fan Tan took Zhou Ye away. It's already this late and only now you tell me. What's the point!"

"Red Sister, there's a reason for this! Trust me!"

Hong, who was easily angered, suddenly laughed. He nodded slightly and said, "Alright, I'll give you a chance to speak."

Hong Huo was afraid that the person would regret it, so he quickly said, "I... I originally wanted to inform Sister Hong about it, but accidentally overheard a few servants talking about Mr. Qin and someone surnamed Zhou. I went over to ask about it, and I lost track of time, which led to it being this late..."

Hong Yileng gave a disdainful snort and her eyes grew even colder. "It seems you're quite impressive, being able to ask me for so many hours."

Hong Huo's heart tightened, and he hastily said, "Hong Jie, listen to me! I wanted to ask what happened between Lord Qin and someone surnamed Zhou, but who would have expected... so many things..."

Upon hearing these words, Hongyi's face became increasingly ugly. Through gritted teeth, he said, "What happened between them?"

"...Mr. Qin basically takes someone surnamed Zhou wherever he goes. He even brought one to the meeting with the Five Moguls... According to the servants, the person surnamed Zhou sleeps in Mr. Qin's room every night... And also..."

When Red Yi saw the person hesitating as if wanting to speak but holding back, she glared at them and said coldly, "Speak."

"...Qin Ye returned in the middle of the night and went to the medical room..."

"What did you say!"

Hong Yi's face changed, and Fang Tan actually went to see Zhou Xun... Does that mean he knows...

Thinking of this, Hong Yi didn't even look at anyone and quickly left.

Entering the surveillance room, before the guard could speak, Hong Yi spoke first, saying, "Pull up the surveillance records from last night for me, please."

The scene flashed by, finally freezing at the moment when Qin Fangtan entered the infirmary.

"Just play it at normal speed from here."

Every action and expression of the person on the screen was clearly reflected in Hong Yi's eyes. When she saw Qin Fangtan bend down to kiss Zhou Xun, the long-accumulated jealousy erupted in an instant.

Qin Fangtan... I can't believe you would do such a thing to your own enemy...

After leaving the surveillance room, Hong Yi intended to look for Zhou Xun. But when she reached the courtyard, she heard someone say that Master Qin had returned. After some consideration, she decided to go to Qin Fangtan's place instead.

And over here, just as Qin Fangtan returned to his room, without even having a chance to drink water, the door was pushed open by someone.

Seeing the furious face, Qin Fangtan slightly furrowed his brows, seeming somewhat displeased. "Is there something wrong?"

Hong Yi sneered and said bluntly, "Didn't Lord Qin already know? He even asked me if I had anything to do."

Upon hearing this, Qin Fangtan's face immediately changed, giving a cold glare to the person, his words carrying a hint of warning. "Hong Yi, we are both under the command of Lord Han, but don't forget, in terms of hierarchy, I am one level higher than you."

"I know very well that Lord Qin is the trusted confidant of Lord Han, but I don't understand why Lord Qin went to such great lengths just to destroy the Zhou family. If that's the case, then why would he want to spare anyone from the Zhou family?"

Qin Fangtan glanced at the person and said indifferently, "This has nothing to do with you."

"But, Lord Qin, don't you think doing this is very wrong?"

Qin Fangtan's face suddenly changed, his voice becoming icy cold. "What exactly do you want to say?"

Hong Yi looked at the person, his face unusually ugly. "Since Lord Qin hates the Zhou family, why did he shelter them and even have a relationship with Zhou Xun?!"

Qin Fangtan narrowed his eyes, his face darkening, but he didn't say a word.

"You say you hate them, you could easily give them to someone else, but you didn't. Moreover, you even went to the clinic to see Zhou Xun. If your heart was only filled with hatred, why would you go see him?"

Qin Fangtan looked at the person dangerously, his thin lips slightly parted. "Are you questioning me?"

"Isn't it true?" Hong Yi sneered, "Your original intention has long changed. Your feelings towards the Zhou family are not just hatred, but also that disgusting kind of emotion! You repeatedly claim that you want revenge, yet you spared Zhou Cheng's life and even brought the two brothers from the Zhou family to the Qin family! You clearly know that Zhou Cheng has a terrible reputation among industry professionals, and who wouldn't want to take the opportunity to retaliate against the Zhou family? But not only did you fail to hand them over, you also blocked the news, claiming that the Zhou family members had fled overseas. It's truly laughable! Qin Fangtan, can you really justify your actions to the late Wu Yu? In your eyes, is he inferior to those with the surname Zhou?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Fangtan widened his eyes and sharply scolded, "Hong Yi, don't be so audacious!"

Hong Yileng snorted coldly and sarcastically remarked, "What's wrong, Lord Qin? Feeling embarrassed and angry? But what I said is the truth! Ever since you brought someone surnamed Zhou into the Qin family, you have been letting down Wu Yu!"

"You know nothing about me and Wuyu. You're not qualified to say these words if you haven't experienced those things!"

But I know that if my loved ones are insulted, I will not let those people go even if I have to give everything!

Qin Fangtan chuckled, his eyes filled with coldness. "Well, let me tell you, what I do to them is none of your business. Whether I hit or scold them, it's not up to you to say!"

Qin Fangtan, you are truly shameless! It was you who sought revenge in the first place, and now you are sticking to the enemy's son. It's truly disgusting!

"That's none of your concern!" Qín Fāngtán's face turned serious and his eyes grew dark. "My dog doesn't need someone else to take care of it, and I absolutely won't allow anyone to touch it! If there's another incident, even if you're under the protection of Young Master Hán, I won't let you off the hook!"

Hong Yi's lips curled into a sneer, his words filled with thick sarcasm. "Qin Fangtan, I truly think Wuyu is not worth it!"

After saying that, the person turned around and left.

Qin Fangtan looked at the closed door, his expression getting more and more grim. As he recalled the words the other person said, his eyes darkened and he punched the tea table.

As the butler entered the room, he immediately saw a cold-faced master. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Master Qin, Miss Hongyi has already returned to her room. Should I send someone to check on Mr. Zhou Xun?"

"...No need, I'll go by myself. Remember to pick up Zhou Ye at night."

"Yes."

Qin Fangtan took a deep breath and left the room.

When Zhou Xun saw the person, a hint of surprise flashed across his face. Observing that the other party's complexion was not quite good, he asked, "...Did Xiaoya anger you?"

Qin Fangtan didn't say anything, and coldly stared at the person, as if trying to see something.

Zhou Xun didn't know what to say. In a casual glance, he noticed that the back of the other person's hand had turned red. His expression darkened as he asked, "What happened to your hand?"

"Do you have anything to do with it?"

Upon hearing what the other person said, Zhou Xun felt a little awkward. Then, he chuckled and said, "I have some medicine here. If you don't mind, I can..."

"No need." Qin Fangtan looked at the person, his face still indifferent. "We don't need the help of your Zhou family."

Zhou Xun frowned slightly, his words carrying a hint of reproach, "Your body belongs to you, so why do you need to have conflicts with yourself?"

"I know my own body, there's no need for you to say more," Qin Fangtan said, suddenly frowning with a hint of disgust in his eyes. "Zhou Xun, do you know how disgusting it is for you to constantly please me just for the sake of Zhou Ye? Even if you try your best to please me, it won't make a difference if I want to torment him. So, put away your fake ass-kissing."

Zhou Xun paused for a moment, ignoring the strange feeling in his heart, and said, "...But you once said that as long as I please you, Xiao Ye..."

Without waiting for the person's words to finish, Qin Fangtan interrupted the other party, saying, "I did say that before, but that was in the past. From now on, all you need to remember is that you are a dog of the Qin family. That is enough."

Zhou Xun pursed his lips slightly and fell silent for a moment before asking, "Then what are you upset about?"

......

Without saying a word, Zhou Xun didn't ask further and picked up the ointment from the table, handing it to the other person.

Qin Fangtan declined, but someone was assigned to bring a chair and sit by the bed. Zhou Xun smiled faintly, took the other person's hand, and began to apply medicine.

The gentle gesture made Qin Fangtan slightly dazed. He hated the Zhou family, and even more so the person before him. But at this moment, against all odds, a hint of unexpected nostalgia welled up within him.
