Emerging from Ning Shixuan's room, I wiped the cold sweat from my brow. If it hadn't been for Yun Yao’s thoughtfulness in insisting I go over and comfort Ning Shixuan, there might have been a homicide by morning.

I gently pushed the door open. Yun Yao was lying on my ** reading a book. Seeing me return, she sat up nervously and asked, "Brother Zhao, is Sister Xiao Ning alright now?"

"She's fine now. Good heavens, she was actually contemplating slitting her wrists just now. If you hadn't made me go check on her, things would have been terrible."

Upon hearing that Ning Shixuan had tried to commit suicide by cutting her wrists, Yun Yao's face went pale with fright. I held her close, "What are you afraid of? I handled it when I went over. I believe she will return to her normal life tomorrow."

Yun Yao nestled in my embrace, "It's probably better to break up with Lan Feng sooner rather than later. Dragging it out isn't good for Sister Xiao Ning. After all, she's not getting any younger; she should find a suitable match. With Sister Xiao Ning’s looks and personality, her future husband will surely be wonderful."

I sighed, "Let's not worry about her anymore. Let's turn off the lights and sleep. This time we absolutely must be quieter. Little Ning actually complained that our noises were disturbing her rest."

Yun Yao’s face flushed crimson, like a monkey's rear end, and she dove under the pillow. "It's all your fault! You insist on being that way. I... I’ll go sleep in my own dorm."

I turned off the light and pulled Yun Yao tightly against my chest. "Wherever you go, I go. In your dorm, Xiao Ning will hear even more clearly."

"I'll lock the door and not let you in."

"No door can stop me. Even an iron door, I could smash it with one punch."

"You... you scoundrel. Mmm... rub gently, or I’ll have to cry out again. I’m only seventeen, please don't mess around, okay?"

I am a man brimming with desire, and at my current age, I have a strong need for a woman. In just a few swift movements, I stripped Yun Yao bare, just as I was about to employ my usual methods to render her incapable of restraint, intending to take her ** when my mobile phone chose that inopportune moment to ring.

Yun Yao pushed my arm. "Brother Zhao, answer the call first. I’m not going anywhere."

I smiled, pulling Yun Yao into my arm, and used my other hand to answer the phone. It was Scar. Calling so late must mean something important. I asked, "Brother Eight, is there an emergency?"

Scar replied, "Brother Qian, we got lucky. One of our underlings spotted Brother Fa. He didn't return to Liang Kuan’s main base tonight but is staying at a woman’s house
