"Dad! This guy is the one who bullied me! Catch him now... this guy can..."

Liu Zicheng charged toward Liu Aiguo with a fierce momentum, ready to snitch on the man and to remind his father that Xu Fan was skilled in martial arts. However, before he could finish, Liu Aiguo's face darkened and he slapped his son across the face!

Caught off guard, Liu Zicheng was slapped to the ground, where he continued to cry out in pain for a while before managing to crawl back up.

He covered his face, eyeing his livid father with a hint of fear.

"Dad, why, why did you hit me?"

Liu Zicheng felt deeply wronged, thinking he hadn't really done anything bad, right?

"Who told you to remove the needle?"

"Huh?"

After hearing his father's question, Liu Zicheng was taken aback and said with a forced smile, "It's not like that, Dad. That country bumpkin was using the needle to harm Grandpa, of course I had to remove it..."

Slap!

No sooner had Liu Zicheng finished speaking and cast a displeased glance at Xu Fan than Liu Aiguo slapped him across the face again!

With that slap, Liu Zicheng began to doubt whether he was indeed his father's biological son...

His face hurt so much that he could barely speak and turned to look at his mother helplessly.

"Mom, has Dad gone crazy? Why is he hitting me?"

Slap!

Just as he questioned, his mother followed with another slap of her own!

"I think it's you who's gone crazy!"

What went from a solo act from his father turned into a duo with his mother, leaving Liu Zicheng tearfully regretting his mistakes, wondering what he had done to deserve this!

You see, he hadn't even recovered from the beating he had taken from Xu Fan's men a few days ago! Now he had new injuries on top of the old ones!

"Hurry up and apologize to Mr. Xu Fan! Otherwise, you can forget about ever coming back home!"

It must be known, Xu Fan had expressly warned them that the Silver Needle absolutely must not be pulled out. Now, this rebellious son had removed it, which was tantamount to signing old man Liu's death warrant!

Liu Aiguo scolded furiously, hoping his ungrateful son would apologize so Xu Fan might agree to insert the Silver Needle back in.

"This..."

Liu Zicheng hesitated, but seeing his father's hand raise instantly, he immediately walked over to Xu Fan.

"Uh, that, Xu Fan, I, I was wrong just now..."

Liu Zicheng meekly approached Xu Fan and stammered out an apology.

Xu Fan had already been amused by Liu Zicheng getting a double beating from his parents, and now, seeing him apologize with a grandson-like expression made him struggle not to laugh.

"Tsk tsk, Young Master Liu, weren't you just eager to beat up this country bumpkin? And now you're apologizing?"

"I!"

Liu Zicheng had swallowed his pride to apologize to Xu Fan, but his apology was seemingly rejected, making him instinctively want to curse out loud!

But remembering his parents' warning, Liu Zicheng immediately backed down again.

"Uh... this..."

"Liu Zicheng, if you don't give me a proper apology right now, I am disowning you as my son!"

As he wavered, his father's warning rang out again, and Liu Zicheng's legs turned to jelly in fear!

Being disowned? That meant his fate was sealed!

"Xu, Brother Xu, I was wrong, please, have mercy on me, don't hold it against me. Just let it go, please let it go, okay?"

Desperate, Liu Zicheng began to slap himself frantically as if he were on the verge of kneeling to Xu Fan. Xu Fan, watching it all, smirked and said, "Alright, I'll forgive you begrudgingly, now scram."

After waving Liu Zicheng off, Xu Fan went back to carefully reinserting the Silver Needle that had been removed.

With the Silver Needle back in place, old man Liu's illness was finally treated. To express his gratitude, Liu Aiguo pulled Xu Fan aside, insisting on properly thanking him with, at the very least, an invitation to a meal.

It's just that Xu Fan wasn't too fond of such socializing and declined the offer directly.

"Alright, if I keep sending you off, you might as well just come over and sleep at my place tonight."

At this moment, Guan Shimeng had escorted him to the hospital entrance, still looking reluctant to part ways, so Xu Fan stopped in his tracks and teased her.

Blushing, Guan Shimeng glanced at him irritably and said weakly, "I won't go to your place, Xu Fan, so I guess this is goodbye then."

"Mhm, you should head back."

Of course, asking Guan Shimeng to his house was just a joke; if she found out he was cohabiting with Zhou Keren, Keren would probably want to kill him!

After taking a taxi home, Xu Fan took out his keys, opened the door, and saw Zhou Keren in the living room, studying something intently.

Humming a tune, Xu Fan walked into the living room and noticed that the girl was examining a few exam papers.

On closer inspection, he realized they were all his.

"Tsk tsk tsk, my little treasure, you couldn't have discovered I'm a genius and fallen hopelessly in love with me, could you?"

Leaning on the sofa, Xu Fan teased.

"Hehe!"

Zhou Keren rolled her eyes at Xu Fan without any courtesy; she was investigating his exam papers to see if he had cheated or something.

After all, the score Xu Fan got this time was just too astonishing.

Recalling her student days, she couldn't find anyone to compare with Xu Fan, and Zhou Keren simply couldn't accept it. If she couldn't prove that Xu Fan cheated, it would be too much of a blow.

"You better confess honestly, what's the deal with these scores? Did you cheat or not?"

Hearing Zhou Keren's questioning, Xu Fan couldn't help but roll his eyes. Was this woman mad?

If he had really cheated, how could he have scored only six hundred and fifty?

"Hehe."

Xu Fan simply responded with a "hehe" to Zhou Keren, immediately infuriating her!

"Impossible! Even I couldn't score that high..."

Zhou Keren's face seemed to spell out four words, "This is unscientific," as Xu Fan smirked and said, "The biggest reason is that I have something you don't."

"Ah? What's that?"

Seeing Zhou Keren's curious gaze directed at him, Xu Fan stood up straight, patted her shoulder, and smiled, "Because I have wisdom roots, very long wisdom roots."

"What are 'very long wisdom roots'?"

As Xu Fan walked toward the bedroom, Zhou Keren blinked in confusion, not quite understanding his words.

"Xu Fan! Go to hell!"

Once she realized what he meant, Zhou Keren's face turned red with embarrassment; she grabbed a throw pillow next to her and hurled it at Xu Fan!

However, by this time, Xu Fan had already closed the front door.

Beep beep beep!

Just then, the sound of QQ messages came from his phone. Xu Fan frowned, took it out, and couldn't help but feel amused.

These two women were each more persistent than the other.

On QQ, Xu Fan was using his alternate account, the one for his alter ego, the handsome young man, and the source of the notification sound was none other than Qin Mengyue, whose QQ name was "Busty Beauty."

"Hmph! Take a look at my space, then decide whether to add me or not!"

Glancing at the notification message, Xu Fan raised an eyebrow curiously.

What had this woman posted in her QQ space? Immediately he clicked into Qin Mengyue's QQ space.

One look, and Xu Fan was utterly dumbfounded!

Holy shit, Top Grade!
