The lighting in the bar wasn't very bright, and Ye Qiu didn't notice Song Sisi's strange behavior. As for the blush on her face, Ye Qiu, being such an emotional rookie, naturally thought it was just a normal reaction from Song Sisi having drunk too much.

"Hiss..."

Ye Qiu wanted to help Song Sisi sit down, but as soon as he moved, Song Sisi sucked in a breath of cold air.

"What's wrong?" Seeing Song Sisi's face on the verge of tears, Ye Qiu quickly asked.

"I-I think I sprained my foot."

Just now, while being held by Ye Qiu, she didn't feel anything, but as soon as he released her, a piercing pain surged through her foot.

"Let me take a look."

Saying this, Ye Qiu helped Song Sisi sit back in her seat and proceeded to remove her shoe without waiting for her consent.

Looking at this man gazing at her delicate feet, Song Sisi felt her heart nearly leap out of her throat; she was so shy she didn't dare to look at Ye Qiu.

But in the next second, Ye Qiu held her delicate foot, making her body tremble involuntarily and turn rigid.

Ye Qiu's hand seemed to possess magic power, gently stroking her, and Song Sisi, who had been initially tense, immediately relaxed. She didn't even dare to take a big breath. The feeling was incredibly peculiar, though she couldn't quite describe how.

Exciting? Nervous? Or something else?

But there was one thing Song Sisi was sure of: having Ye Qiu hold her delicate foot didn't seem to be a bad thing.

"It's nothing serious; just a sprain. Resting for a night should be fine."

While Song Sisi was lost in her wild thoughts, Ye Qiu stood up with a smile.

"Ah? Oh, alright..."

"Since your foot is sprained, it'll be inconvenient to walk. Do you need me to help you to the restroom?"

"N-no need..."

After all that had just happened, Song Sisi no longer felt the urge to go to the restroom. Besides, even if she did, she couldn't possibly let Ye Qiu help her there; no matter how much she liked him, she wasn't bold enough for that.

Ye Qiu didn't think much about it and said, "How about I take you home then?"

"Alright..."

Since walking was difficult for Song Sisi now, Ye Qiu simply carried her on his back out.

Leaning against Ye Qiu's back, Song Sisi's mind began to wander again.

She believed that Ye Qiu's embrace was the warmest in the world, and his frame was the broadest and most secure. Being carried by him, Song Sisi thought that even if the sky were to fall, with this man by her side, everything would be safe.

Song Sisi tightened her arms around Ye Qiu's neck, cherishing this rare sense of security immeasurably.

However, the pleasant feeling only lasted a short while, as Ye Qiu, after carrying Song Sisi outside the bar, hailed a taxi.

While Ye Qiu was sending Song Sisi home.

In a certain villa.

Liang Yun sat in a chaotic bedroom, utterly furious.

Today's events were an absolute disgrace for him. When had the always successful and smooth-sailing him ever been rejected? Not only was he rejected today, but he was also humiliated in public, which Liang Yun couldn't bear.

"Damn Ye Qiu, if I don't avenge today, I swear I'm not a man!"

Liang Yun said viciously, then took out his phone and dialed a string of numbers.

"Brother Hong, get me some hitmen, I want someone killed! I'll send you his photo later!"

"It's pretty strict lately, brother."

Brother Hong, although not a first-time dealer with Liang Yun, clearly wasn't too willing this time.

"So what? As long as you can eliminate him, I'll handle everything if anything happens. Besides, if it's done, I'll give you five million!" At this moment, Liang Yun was clearly blinded by hatred. Normally, dealing with someone at most cost him hundreds of thousands to millions, but now he directly raised the price to five million.

"Alright! Since Brother Liang Yun is so generous, how can I, as a big brother, not respond? I'll take this job!"

Brother Hong, although unaware of why the scrutiny was tighter than usual lately, didn't care; five million was worth the risk.

After sorting everything out, Liang Yun sent Ye Qiu's photo to Brother Hong without another word.

Soon after Liang Yun hung up, his phone rang again.

"Blood Wolf."

Seeing the remark on his phone, Liang Yun immediately jumped in fright.

He dared not delay and hurriedly answered the call.

"S-sir, any orders?" Liang Yun asked cautiously, his tone extremely respectful.

He had to be; he knew if the person on the other end wanted him dead, a wave of the hand could achieve it. Facing such a Death God, he had to stay on full alert.

"Did you get the item?" The voice on the other end belonged to a middle-aged man.

"Y-yes, I got it..." Liang Yun stammered, the man's tone was calm but always pressured Liang Yun significantly. "I'll deliver it to you tomorrow."

"Good. Once it's done, you'll be handsomely rewarded. Also, remember, I don't want anyone else knowing about this, otherwise..."

The man didn't continue, but Liang Yun well understood his methods, causing him to shiver immediately. "N-no, apart from you, no one else knows."

"Good! Deliver it as soon as possible tomorrow."

"Yes, yes..."

Shortly, the call ended, but Liang Yun seemed unable to regain his composure.

In the eyes of outsiders, Liang Yun might appear glamorous, but only he knew the hidden truths. In recent years, his business had grown bigger and bigger, but it wasn't achieved by him alone; it was manipulated by the people behind him.

And what they wanted him to do was to help them find an item.

Liang Yun knew these people were ruthless, but in the face of profit, he still chose to deal with them.

"Phew..."

Thinking about this, Liang Yun immediately felt relieved, "Thankfully, I've completed the task they entrusted me with, and soon, I'll be able to step onto the international stage and become a true young master!"

Saying this, a fierce look suddenly appeared in Liang Yun's eyes.

"Damn, this bitch Song Sisi made me lose face! Anyway, I'm leaving soon, and if I leave like this, I definitely won't be reconciled! Hmph, Song Sisi, you'd better wait, I absolutely won't let you off!"
