In the room, Fan Longzhou’s face twisted into a snarl; he had always considered his status to be exceptionally noble.
In his understanding, the Fan Family was also one of the top families. When had he ever been treated like this before? But ever since he t Xiao Zheng, he was constantly underestimated by this guy, and the Fan Family he relied upon was regarded as trash in Xiao Zheng’s eyes.
This made him feel thoroughly belittled. For soone like him, who had developed such a distorted sense of superiority, this feeling of disdain was more painful than death.
There was one thing Xiao Zheng didn’t get wrong: this guy was absolutely unwilling to concede and would never just let things go.
Sitting nearby, Yang Qinghua let out a heavy sigh of relief once these people left. Even with a mask on, her face appeared extrely pale, not because she was physically unwell, but because Xiao Zheng terrified her.
Even standing there without saying a word, Xiao Zheng exuded a subtle aura that reminded her of the fear from back then.
This fear had penetrated deep into her soul. Even seeing Xiao Zheng, or simply recalling his appearance, made her body slightly tremble.
"Mom, what should we do now?" Fan Longzhou sighed, pondering how to deal with Xiao Zheng, but despite thinking for a long ti, he had no clue, so he turned to his mother.
He could gather people to challenge Xiao Zheng, but Xiao Zheng’s strength was just too formidable. Even Fan Sanlei was no match for him before. Even if he found so thugs, they would be no more than paper tigers in front of Xiao Zheng, easily dealt with at a whim.
Yang Qinghua shook her head, also at a loss.
"Sigh, this guy’s strength is simply too great. Hiring experts to go against him is costly and unrewarding, and might not even succeed. If only there were another way," Fan Longzhou said irritably with a sigh.
Hearing this, Yang Qinghua suddenly rembered sothing, her eyes lit up slightly, and she exclaid, "I have a plan."
"What?" Fan Longzhou asked in slight surprise, looking towards his mother, "What plan?"
"Do you rember the odd person I told you about before?" Yang Qinghua asked.
"The odd person?" Fan Longzhou was montarily stunned. After so thought, his face turned sowhat grim, as if recalling sothing dreadful, causing his body to shiver slightly with fear. He asked, "Are you talking about the guy who plays with bugs?"
Yang Qinghua shot her son a look and said, "He doesn’t play with bugs; he’s a Gu Master from the Southern Border. It was said he violated family rules and was exiled. He’s been drifting up north ever since. I had so contact with him recently; he’s quite down and out, so he’s probably in need of money."
Fan Longzhou swallowed hard, forcefully brushing away his fear of the Gu Master from his mind, and said, "You an..."
"Yes, my point is to have him deal with Xiao Zheng, and Liu Han Yan as well," Yang Qinghua said, her eyes carrying a deep, intense hatred.
That guy needed money, and they had plenty of it. If money alone could get rid of Xiao Zheng, it would definitely be a joyful event.
"But wouldn’t that be too cruel?" Fan Longzhou said worriedly.
He had once witnessed the Gu Master kill a person with his thods by chance. Even now, thinking of it made his skin crawl and gave him a sickening urge to vomit.
Yang Qinghua’s expression suddenly darkened, and she looked sternly at her son, saying with gravity, "Rember this: ruthlessness is essential to be a real man. To survive in a prominent family, you must not harbor even a hint of rcy, or else you will be the one who dies in the end!"
Fan Longzhou’s face changed slightly, hurriedly lowered his head, and nodded, "I understand."
"Good, you go out first. I’ll get in touch with him later. Keep Xiao Zheng’s matters at heart. With his involvent, I believe Xiao Zheng will soon be taken care of," Yang Qinghua said with a cold, sinister smile.
When Xiao Zheng returned ho that day, he was still quite worried, convinced that Fan Longzhou was the type to bear grudges and wouldn’t easily let go of him and Liu Han Yan.
So he sat in the living room, constantly watching the surrounding villa. If any suspicious person appeared, he would react imdiately.
In his view, they wouldn’t attack him right away but would more or less send soone to probe his situation.
Yet, to his surprise, he found nothing unusual all day. It seed Fan Longzhou had truly given up, with no intention of confronting them at all.
By nightfall, Xiao Zheng returned to his bedroom, watching from the window, still observing the surroundings.
In the absence of light, those things hidden in the dark would beco active.
However, to Xiao Zheng’s disappointnt and surprise, nothing out of the ordinary was happening around the villa.
He frowned slightly, feeling sowhat puzzled, but then heard so strange noises from the hallway, sounding like Liu Han Yan.
Thinking about it, he opened his bedroom door and ca out, finding Liu Han Yan standing in the hallway, looking pale and disheveled.
"What are you doing?" Xiao Zheng asked, puzzled.
"Nothing, just going to take a shower, feeling so itchy." Liu Han Yan frowned, feeling a bit irritable. She had just taken a shower at noon, but when she tried to sleep, she inexplicably felt unbearably itchy all over, scratching herself constantly yet unable to stop the itching.
"Itchy?" Xiao Zheng looked at Liu Han Yan in surprise, not understanding.
Liu Han Yan then entered the bathroom. Xiao Zheng had questions in mind but seeing her go into the bathroom, he reluctantly abandoned them.
In the bathroom, Liu Han Yan undressed and soaked in the hot water, finally feeling a bit more comfortable, though the itching sensation persisted, albeit lessened.
"Could I be allergic to sothing?" Liu Han Yan muttered to herself in frustration.
Plus, not only did she itch all over, but she also had a headache, even feeling a strange impulse to bang her head against the wall, as if that would alleviate her discomfort.
