"That's right, husband, what the hell are you thinking? We absolutely cannot let that little beast off the hook!!" Yan Xueyan also yelled fiercely.

"Enough, shut the hell up, all of you!! Do you really want to see me dead?? What do you think Blood Night is?? Haha, nonexistent?? Blood Night could wipe out our entire family as easily as crushing three ants. If it weren't for Blood Night's policy of not getting involved in the world of ordinary people, we might have been finished a long time ago!!" Wu Tianhua roared loudly.

Wu Hai was startled by Wu Tianhua's crazy outburst, but still gritted his teeth and said, "But...it's hard, can we really just let that punk off like this?? I can't accept it!!"

Seeing the pain in Wu Hai's expression, Wu Tianhua also felt somewhat reluctant, for after all, this was his only son, who had now ended up in such a state.

After pondering for a long time, he said, "Don't worry, I refuse to believe that merely a bodyguard could have any meaningful connection with Blood Night. The urgent task is to find out what exactly the relationship is between him and Blood Night, and why Blood Night would intervene for him!!"

With a face filled with resentment and reluctance, Wu Hai finally nodded and said,

"Fine, we won't touch Liu Wentian for now, but you must act against Tiange Group immediately. I want that bitch Li He to crawl into my bed like a dog and beg me!!"

...…

When Liu Wentian left Jing Ju, Bai Ruguo and Li He had already left earlier.

Zhao Yuwei said that at first the two women stubbornly refused to leave his uncle's office and tried desperately to explain that the whole incident arose from Wu Hai looking for trouble with Liu Wentian, but after seeing that their explanations were futile, they left directly.

Not long after, Zhao Yuwei received calls from Bai Zhongzhou and Li Dehou. When Liu Wentian reached the door, he just happened to meet the lawyers the two women had hired. It was clear that these two women were running around for his sake, thinking of how to bail him out.

Liu Wentian felt somewhat moved. After he stepped out of Jing Ju, he called Bai Ruguo.

"Liu Wentian, weren't you in the interrogation room? How can you call me now??" Bai Ruguo answered the call, both shocked and overjoyed.

"Don't worry, I'm fine now."

Hearing the concern in her voice, Liu Wentian's tone also became gentler.

Liu Wentian then recounted the whole experience to Bai Ruguo, leaving her astonished, especially when she heard that Blood Night had actually invited Liu Wentian to join. She couldn't help feeling a bit panicked, but when she learned that Liu Wentian had rejected their offer, she quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Li He was with Bai Ruguo, and hearing about Liu Wentian's ordeal, she too was secretly shocked. This guy is really lucky, just happened to meet an injured member of Blood Night, and even when invited to join, he declined. This guy is simply unbelievable.

After chatting with Bai Ruguo for a few more sentences, Li He took the phone from Bai Ruguo's hand, her voice coquettish, "Little brother, don't forget, you promised to give your Spiritual Formula to your sister. You're not allowed to go back on your word, otherwise, I will truly be heartbroken to death."

Listening to Li He's coquettishly sweet voice, which didn't sound strange but was exceptionally tempting, Liu Wentian silently cursed, What a siren!!

"Don't worry, since I promised to give it to you, I won't go back on my word. The Spiritual Formula for Jade Face Spirit is actually quite troublesome to make. You all wouldn't know how to refine it anyway, and if you tried to forcefully make it, I reckon even if it retains some effects, not much would be left. I plan to modify it for you, turn it into something like a beauty serum. It'll be much simpler to produce, allowing for mass production, and the effects won't be too bad—definitely at least a hundred times better than the beauty products currently on the market."

Li He was clearly startled for a moment on the other side of the call, her eyes even reddening slightly in an instant, but after blinking a few times, she reverted to that charming demeanor and cooed,

"Little brother, you are so good?? Why are you suddenly being so nice to your sister, is it that you want to chase after me??"

"Uh…"

Liu Wentian was somewhat speechless. How can this woman be so narcissistic? He was just grateful for what she had done tonight, but in her mouth, it had become about trying to woo her.

But this woman enjoys teasing me— this isn't good. After all, I am not a pushover.

He chuckled and countered with a question, "So if I tried to hit on you, would you let me?"

At that, the other side of the line, Li He's face grew slightly red, and she peeked at Bai Ruguo like a thief in the night.

She noticed her heartbeat had picked up, and the image of Liu Wentian's dominant demeanor tonight, like a star descending from the heavens, appeared in her mind.

Her peach blossom eyes seemed ready to drip with charm as Li He giggled, "Little brother, you've got some guts. But sister here isn't that easy to woo."

Huh?? Was she implying that he could go ahead and try to woo her, as long as he could manage it?

Liu Wentian was speechless. Why did this girl talk in such roundabout ways? Couldn't she just give a straight answer?

But he had only asked in jest without putting much thought into it, and besides, he wasn't in a great mood tonight because of that fake phone call with that woman, so he didn't press the issue.

After some idle chatter, Liu Wentian hung up the phone.

Walking on the streets, the nightlife of Shenming City was sparkling with neon lights of all colors, and buildings ablaze with lights that never went out, with people of all sorts coming and going.

Liu Wentian suddenly felt a pang of melancholy, all because tonight, that woman had re-entered his life.

She hadn't even appeared before him; just a phone call had been enough to disturb his composure.

She was no longer the Fairy Sister in the purple outfit, and he was no longer the naïve village boy who did everything just to make her happy.

She was still Qin Keqing, and he was still Liu Wentian, but both had changed.

She couldn't even be considered his first love, but rather a dream from his youth. Eventually, everyone has to wake up from their dreams, and her words "You're not worthy" were like a knife stabbing him, making him bleed as he woke up from that dream.

If Qin Keqing were some kind of gold-digger or a hypocrite, Liu Wentian could have easily put it behind him. Yet, she remained as gentle as ever, making phone calls to have Yan Tianfang release him, and when he was caught by Jing Ju, she called there too, wanting to help him.

Damn it, what's the deal with this woman!!

Liu Wentian was incredibly frustrated. As he walked, he looked up and saw a bar not far away, with large neon-lit letters above it: Xindu Bar.

"'Xindu Bar', 'Xindu Bar', your 'Xindu' is all over this city. You're like a queen, and wow, you're really doing well for yourself!"

Liu Wentian smiled bitterly and headed towards the bar.

This bar was a bit quieter than the one in the city center, no need for a queue at least. But stepping inside, the head-banging heavy metal rock music was just as intense, surrounded by a crowd of urban men and women shaking their heads as if they were on drugs.

Liu Wentian took a seat by the bar.

"'Death in a Moment'."

"Sorry, what was that?"

The music was really loud, and Liu Wentian's voice wasn't very loud, so the bartender didn't catch it and asked, somewhat puzzled.

"I said, give me a 'Death in a Moment'."
