After all, for someone who had been diagnosed with severe paralysis to be bouncing around in less than half a month, what incredible recovery power that must be!

This made many doctors specializing in related fields look at Wu Xu with fervent eyes; someone beyond ordinary was the best guinea pig.

Initially confused about the situation, Wu Xu was pulled into conducting various experiments and had lots of blood drawn, until he realized something was off and hurriedly processed his discharge formalities.

Luckily, Wu Xu wasn't indentured here, and with arrangements from Junshan police, those doctors who treated Wu Xu as a guinea pig could only watch helplessly as a superb test subject slipped away.

After being discharged, Wu Xu, using the excuse that he still wasn't feeling well after leaving the hospital, declined Zhao Qian's banquet to welcome him back and cleanse away bad luck and returned to his own little nest.

Unsurprisingly, Leng Xiaocui had already left, and the room was tidied up very nicely. Moreover, all kinds of trash Wu Xu had left before, and various items placed haphazardly, were all reorganized by Leng Xiaocui, making it look much cleaner and more appealing.

Wu Xu was very satisfied with this. Sister Xiaocui was not only skilled in killing but also in household chores, truly a good daughter-in-law.

It seemed that in his view, Leng Xiaocui's allegiance had already been decided by him.

In this respect, Wu Xu's personality was greatly different from before, which was quite surprising.

However, it wasn't unexpected, as environment changes people's hearts, and power changes their mentality.

With his current strength, Wu Xu naturally cast aside his previous caution and worldly concerns.

After resting for a bit, Wu Xu picked up his freshly charged phone and made a call.

It was to Zhao Jun; Wu Xu wanted to ask what was going on.

Not that Wu Xu was being petty, but over the half month of his hospitalization, Zhao Jun had not shown up even once. As good buddies for two years, Wu Xu knew Zhao Jun very well. Unless there were insurmountable circumstances, it was impossible for Zhao Jun not to visit him.

The phone rang once before the message that the other party had stopped service came through.

Wu Xu gently turned off his phone, expressionless. He had guessed right. Something must have happened to Zhao Jun.

Moon Lake District, one of the most luxurious villa communities in Junshan. The vast Moon Lake District only had twelve villas, each occupying a vast piece of land and luxuriously constructed, the residence of Junshan's upper crust.

Zhao Jun's home was here.

After resting for a night, Wu Xu arrived at Moon Lake District early the next morning.

He made his way familiarly to the front gate of Zhao Jun's villa.

After knocking on the door, a middle-aged woman opened it.

Upon seeing her, Wu Xu quickly smiled respectfully: "Aunt Xue, good morning."

Middle-aged Aunt Xue showed a kind smile upon seeing Wu Xu: "Oh, it's Wu Xu, you're here to see Young Master Zhao, aren't you?"

"Is Zhao Jun at home?" Wu Xu's eyes lit up.

"He is, but Young Master is not having an easy time right now," Aunt Xue said, glancing inside the house.

"Did something happen to him?" Wu Xu's expression turned somber.

"Hehe, it's a long story; come in, and we'll talk," Aunt Xue said with a smile, inviting Wu Xu into the villa.

Once inside the villa, Wu Xu looked around but didn't see Zhao Jun, turning his puzzled gaze back to Aunt Xue.

"Young Master is on the second floor; he's been locked up for almost half a month," Aunt Xue explained.

What!" Wu Xu was a bit dumbfounded. Young Master Zhao, who prided himself on being suave and elegant, was actually put under house arrest? What's going on here?

Aunt Xue quickly summarized the sequence of events.

It turned out that after Wu Xu helped Zhao Jun intimidate Zhong Chou, within a couple of days, Zhao Jun was trapped in a scheme by Zhong Chou and almost got thrown into jail.

When Zhao Jun's father, Zhao Dequan, found out, he personally retrieved Zhao Jun, put him under house arrest, forbidding him to use any means of communication, and not to take a single step outside of his room until now.

Wu Xu was speechless. Normally, Zhao Dequan wasn't the kind of man to be so petty. Plus, it was clear to anyone with eyes that Zhao Jun had been set up. How could he treat his son like this?

Wu Xu hurriedly said, "Aunt Xue, can I go and see Zhao Jun?"

Aunt Xue hesitated, since it was an order from Old Master Zhao. If she got caught, she'd regret it when she'd be out of a job like a fried squid.

"Aunt Xue, I beg you, I just want to see him, I definitely won't let him out," Wu Xu pleaded pathetically.

"Alright, but make it quick. The lady of the house will be coming back from her walk soon; we can't be found out," Aunt Xue advised.

"Don't worry. I'm just going to see him. I'll be out quickly," Wu Xu promised seriously.

Once they reached the second floor, Aunt Xue unlocked the door and Wu Xu quickly slipped in.

The room was spacious, luxuriously decorated, and fully equipped. An ordinary person confined here would have no complaints, but might even enjoy it.

However, it was pretty terrible for a rich young master like Zhao Jun to be locked up like this.

Once he entered the room, Wu Xu immediately saw Zhao Jun and couldn't help but laugh.

The guy was squatting in front of a standing LCD TV, engrossed in 'Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf', eating Kobber Chip crisps without skipping a beat.

Hearing the door sound, Zhao Jun instinctively stood up, and when he saw Wu Xu, his face lit up with excitement, as if reuniting with his first love from his youth after many years.

"Hey, my good brother, I've been looking forward to your visit! I heard you got injured and were hospitalized? Let me have a look, show it to me," Zhao Jun quickly ran over to Wu Xu, grabbed Wu Xu's head with one hand and started turning it around to inspect.

"Stop, stop, stop!" Wu Xu, made a bit uncomfortable by the turning, quickly stopped Zhao Jun's movements, and said in a mix of amusement and annoyance, "Look at you, being so concerned about me. You better start taking care of yourself."

At this moment, Zhao Jun's appearance was far from good. His hair was a mess, his beard was scruffy, and his clothes were extremely casual. His breath was also foul, clearly indicative of not brushing his teeth daily, just slumming his days away.

Wu Xu couldn't help but feel helpless at the sight of him. It looked like Young Master Zhao was not at all happy with being cooped up.

Hearing Wu Xu say this, Zhao Jun let go of him but his face turned downcast. He sighed and sat down on the sofa, saying bitterly, "Brother, I'm really screwed over this time, and totally unfairly at that."

Wu Xu smiled and sat next to Zhao Jun, looked at him for a while and said sternly, "Life is full of ups and downs. The road isn't always smooth. What happened to you? No injuries or sickness. Seeing you all depressed like this, are you just going to admit defeat?"

"How does not admitting defeat change anything? That bastard Zhong Chou went abroad once, learned a belly full of schemes and tricks, pulled a fast one on Grandpa, and I almost ended up in a cell, shit, it's so damn frustrating," Zhao Jun said, grabbed a beer bottle from the table, opened it, and guzzled it down fiercely.

Wu Xu's expression remained calm, and he said lightly, "In the face of absolute power, all schemes are just foolish talk. Tell me, how did he set you up?"

Zhao Jun gave a wry smile and recounted the incident.

This whole affair also involved Zhao Jun's girlfriend. But it wasn't so right to say girlfriend as it was a woman. Originally, she was just a target of Zhao Jun's playboy activities – I have fun, you get money, and when we're fed up, we go our separate ways. That had become Zhao Jun's game of life. However, that woman had long been bought by Zhong Chou.

One night she told Zhao Jun that she had a younger sister. If Zhao Jun was interested, they could engage in a threesome for him, as long as Zhao Jun agreed to continue spoiling them.

With such a juicy opportunity, Zhao Jun, a frivolous playboy, naturally wouldn't pass it up and happily followed his girlfriend to her sister's place.

At that time, the woman had already drunk too much and was in a dazed state. Zhao Jun didn't notice anything unusual and immediately took off his pants.
