Feng Wuyou was focused on driving and did not notice Chu Yi’s expression.

She continued to praise Xia Wanyuan. “I have to say, this Xia Wanyuan is really good-looking. She’s simply on my aesthetic point. I like that temperament on her so much. What was that saying? I feel that when I see her, it’s as if I’m seeing the kind of beauty from China thousands of years ago.”

Chu Yi leaned back in his chair, his eyes hidden behind his glasses. His gaze changed several times, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking.

Feng Wuyou spoke for a long time, but Chu Yi did not respond. She turned to look at Chu Yi. “Hey, I’m talking to you. Why are you ignoring me?”

Only then did Chu Yi smile at Feng Wuyou. “I’m not ignoring you. I just feel that Xia Wanyuan isn’t the most beautiful person I’ve ever seen.”

“How is that possible? Is there anyone who looks better than her?” Feng Wuyou did not believe it. She had seen countless beauties, but she did not think that anyone was better-looking than Xia Wanyuan.

Chu Yi turned around and glanced at Feng Wuyou. The corners of his lips curled up slightly. “You. I think you’re the best-looking.”

Feng Wuyou slammed on the brakes and the car stopped instantly. Her ears were red, but she still wanted to take advantage of him. “You’re quite sweet. Why do you look very experienced?”

Chu Yi adjusted his glasses. “I have no experience. You’re my first buyer.”

Chu Yi’s words sounded a little strange to Feng Wuyou’s ears. She coughed. “Um, do you need anything?”

With that, Feng Wuyou glanced at Chu Yi. He was dressed very simply and did not have any additional accessories on him. “I’ll bring you to buy something.”

Since I’m a sugar mummy, I had to spend money on him! Spending money was the first priority!

Hence, the original day trip to Beijing became a shopping spree. Feng Wuyou did not know what Chu Yi needed and bought everything she saw.

When they parted ways in the end, Feng Wuyou even wanted to buy her a house. However, thinking of her bank card, she finally settled for the next best thing. “I’ll rent a house beside the school for you and a big one.”

Chu Yi did not speak the entire time, but the smile in his eyes deepened. He looked at Feng Wuyou’s unreserved expression and the corners of his lips curled up.

In Glory World Corporation, seeing the money on his bank card decreasing, Xuan Sheng’s veins twitched. He called Feng Wuyou. “Feng Wuyou, where are you? Get back here.”

Feng Wuyou smiled awkwardly. “Hehe, I just used a little of your money. Why are you so excited?”

“Where did you go?” Xuan Sheng frowned. He was not worried about the money, but mainly because Feng Wuyou’s behavior had been too strange recently, so he had to worry.

“I just bought something for my new sugar baby. You know, as a sugar mummy, you have to be more generous.” Feng Wuyou did not hide it from Xuan Sheng and told him everything.

“…” Xuan Sheng was really angry this time. “Either you cut ties with that man or don’t come back to my place. I don’t want to follow you and help you deal with trouble.”

No matter what, Feng Wuyou was still a member of the Feng family. As a member of the Feng family, she had to bear the obligations and responsibilities of the Feng family. It was impossible for Feng Wuyou to escape from that family.

“No, listen to me.” Feng Wuyou wanted to say something to Xuan Sheng, but Xuan Sheng had already hung up.

Feng Wuyou stuck out her tongue. She stuck her head out and waved at Chu Yi at the school gate. “I have something on. I’ll leave first and visit you tomorrow.”

Chu Yi smiled and nodded, looking extremely elegant.

After Feng Wuyou’s car left at the door, Chu Yi did not walk into the school. Instead, he went in the opposite direction.

——

Continent F.

In a remote village, an endless desert was right in front of them. When the wind blew, a layer of yellow sand was spread before their eyes.

In the simple room, Xia Yu was lying on the ground with a face full of sweat. Dark red blood seeped out of the wound on his back, almost staining the ground.

“Brother Xia Yu.” Stone sat beside Xia Yu and kept wiping his tears. “Boohoo, don’t die. I beg you.”

He seemed to have returned to a month ago when he saw his parents being shot in front of him.

At that time, his parents were the same. As they bled, they looked at him. As they looked, the light in their eyes disappeared.

Xia Yu swallowed a mouthful of saliva with much difficulty.

A few days ago, Lin Yi brought Xia Yu and Stone along the forest. Not long after, the rebels began to search the forest wantonly.

They had no choice but to walk towards the most remote place.

There was no specific direction along the way. There was war everywhere and desolation.

After walking for a long time, they finally arrived at this abandoned village.

However, they were already very close to the desert. In addition, they had not found a water source, and the wounds on Xia Yu’s body began to fester.

Lin Yi had left two days ago to find water, leaving Stone to guard Xia Yu.

At this moment, Xia Yu’s lips had already begun to dry up because he did not have enough water to replenish them. Fine lines began to crack on his face. He used all his strength to remind Stone, “Listen to me.”

“Mm.” Stone cried as he leaned into Xia Yu’s mouth. “Brother, tell me.”

If I can’t hold on anymore, drink my blood. If not, eat my flesh. You must wait for Lin Yi to come back and take you away, understand?”

Xia Yu’s back was burning with pain. The festering wound and the gauze that was already soaked in blood mixed together. Any movement would hurt.

“I don’t want to.” Stone’s eyes widened in shock. “Brother Xia Yu, don’t die. I don’t want to drink your blood.”

“Listen to me.” Xia Yu’s eyes were firm. “If I can’t survive, you have to live on for me.”

Stone was stunned and tears flowed down his face. In the end, under Xia Yu’s gaze, he nodded. “I understand, Brother Xia Yu.”

With that, Xia Yu could finally relax a little. He heaved a sigh of relief, as if he could finally relax and close his eyes.

The overwhelming fog instantly covered all his consciousness, and his mind was blank.

An extremely distant cry sounded in his ear. Xia Yu struggled in the white fog as if he could never see the end.

The last thought in his mind was,

I missed Xia Wanyuan so much.

I wanted to eat Xia Wanyuan’s food and play with Xiao Bao.

What a pity, what a pity that I can’t go back. I don’t think I can call Xia Wanyuan sister anymore… 

At this moment, in Continent F, amidst the chaos, countless people were mobilized from all directions. SUVs crossed the desert and satellites constantly searched for signals.

In Beijing, Xia Wanyuan was sitting on the sofa reading when she suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. It was as if something was stuck there, making her unable to breathe.

Jun Shiling glanced at her and walked over to smooth the frown on Xia Wanyuan’s forehead. “What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?”

Xia Wanyuan shook her head. “I don’t know why, but I keep feeling very flustered. Did something happen? Has Xia Yu returned to Beijing?”

Jun Shiling’s actions of hugging Xia Wanyuan did not change, but his eyes flickered. His tone was very natural. “When they returned to the country, they encountered a storm at sea. They’re docked at the Black Triangle now and can’t come back for the time being.”

“Alright.” Xia Wanyuan knew that the situation at sea was changing, and this situation could not be avoided.

“Alright, don’t worry. Have you been too tired recently? Let me help you rest for a while.” With that, Jun Shiling picked Xia Wanyuan up and walked upstairs to the bedroom.

Jun Shiling let Xia Wanyuan lie under the blanket and kissed her comfortingly. “Sleep. I’m going next door to do work. Call me if there’s anything.”

Xia Wanyuan nodded and closed her eyes.

After Xia Wanyuan fell asleep, Jun Shiling gently walked out of the room and closed the door. His expression instantly turned solemn.

He walked to the study and connected to the special line. Soon, someone picked up the phone.

“Have you found any news about Xia Yu?”

“Reporting, sir. Not yet. We’ve already mobilized all the forces we have. However, Continent F is filled with war and various forces are divided. It’s difficult for our search to progress.”

This was an armed force, and that was another faction’s armed force. They could die at any time if they crossed the distance of two cities. Under such circumstances, it was difficult to guarantee the safety of the rescue team, let alone find Xia Yu.

Jun Shiling pondered for a moment. “Then put a bounty on the spider web. As long as you can find Xia Yu in two days, the bounty is thirty million dollars.”

“Yes!”

Under the heavy reward, there would definitely be brave men.

No matter how chaotic Continent F was, the reward of thirty million dollars still attracted all the mercenaries in the world to rush to Continent F.

For a moment, Continent F became even more chaotic.

In the underground world, Yu Qian naturally obtained this bounty immediately.

The bounty notice was vague. It only said that she was a 19-year-old Chinese university student and had a relatively blurry photo attached. There was no other especially obvious information.

However, Wei Zimu could still tell at a glance that the person they were looking for was Xia Yu.

Yu Qian sat on the sofa and carefully stroked the ring in his hand. Suddenly, he looked at Wei Zimu. “Brother, do you know this person?”

Wei Zimu’s heart skipped a beat when he met Yu Qian’s gaze. His expression did not change as he nodded. “Yes, I think he’s a young master from a wealthy family in Beijing. He’s probably lost.”

“A rich young master? What’s his name?” Yu Qian did not know much about the forces in Beijing.

“I only know that his surname is Zheng. I don’t remember his exact name. Why are you concerned about this? You don’t lack tens of millions.” Wei Zimu casually poured himself a glass of water, as if he really didn’t know the person in the painting.

Yu Qian did not ask further. He glanced at Wei Zimu. “How are your injuries?”

Wei Zimu nodded. “Thank you for your treatment. I’m much better.”

Wei Zimu had followed Old Madam Wei and had seen many people in the world. He had also come into contact with many top international medical experts.

However, it was not until he saw Yu Qian’s experiment method that he realized that Yu Qian’s medical skills were so superb.

“When did you learn medicine?” Wei Zimu looked at Yu Qian’s exquisite hand and finally could not help but ask.

“Medicine?” Yu Qian raised an eyebrow. He raised his hands and examined them. “I’ve never studied medicine.”

“Then what did you learn?” Looking at Yu Qian’s expression, Wei Zimu’s heart turned cold. He felt that something was wrong.

Yu Qian smiled, but the smile did not show in his eyes, making him look cold and heartless. “Medicine is used to save people. My hands are not used to save people, but to kill people.”

Back then, he had learned medicine because Old K had gotten someone to teach him.

The reason why he taught him medicine was not to save him, but to watch him endure the pain and treat himself after being poisoned.

Furthermore, Old K often got people to shoot him and treat him as a live target.

After that, he got someone to send him complete surgical equipment and send him to the operating theater to watch him operate on himself.

He was happy to do it.

Over time, Yu Qian naturally cultivated good medical skills.

]Seeing that Yu Qian was getting quieter and that his aura was starting to change, Wei Zimu sighed. “I won’t ask anymore. Is there anything you need me to do? I’ve been lying here for so long. It’s time to move my body.”

Yu Qian pondered for a moment and raised the bounty in his hand. “Why don’t you help me earn thirty million first?”

Wei Zimu was stunned. He looked at Yu Qian’s eyes and thought about Yu Qian’s intentions.

Yu Qian did not lack money at all. Then, did he ask me to do this mission to test me? Could it be that Yu Qian recognized that the person in the painting was Xia Yu? 

Thousands of thoughts flashed through Wei Zimu’s mind, but it was only for a moment. Wei Zimu returned to his normal expression and nodded. “Okay, when am I leaving?”

“Now.”

As Yu Qian spoke, he waved outside. Jayce quickly walked in. “Boss, what are your orders?”

Yu Qian pointed at Wei Zimu. “Send him out and let him find someone. You can come back after sending him off.”

“Yes.” Over the past few days, Jayce had understood that Yu Qian was ruthless to everyone, but he still had some patience for Wei Zimu.

Perhaps Yu Qian really treated Wei Zimu as his biological brother. After Jayce realized this, he no longer dared to casually order Wei Zimu around. In fact, his words were very respectful.

Watching Jayce and Wei Zimu leave, Yu Qian narrowed his eyes.

He lowered his head and glanced at the bounty in his hand. “Xia Yu? Xia Wanyuan?”

In the room, Yu Qian fell silent after saying these words, as if nothing had happened.

——

In Beijing, Xia Wanyuan rested for a while. The next morning, she still felt a little uneasy. Jun Shiling chatted with her for a while before a smile appeared on her face again.

Lin Qingyuan’s inauguration ceremony was imminent. At this moment, the upper echelons of China had fallen into a tense situation.
