Chen Huo took it and played with it for a couple of seconds: "Didn't I give it to Sun Huben? How did it end up in your hands?"

"That's not important!" Murong Bingyun's gaze never left him. "Answer me!"

"What if I said it was my own?" Chen Huo laughed.

"Impossible!" Murong Bingyun shook her head. "Even I only have one SSS-level battle merit medal!"

"Unless, you are also a God of War, or even of a higher level than me!"

"That settles it!" Chen Huo stuffed the things into his pocket. "You don't even believe it yourself, why bother asking me again?"

"When I was in jail, I met an old man who said we were destined to meet, and he gave it to me!"

"They say it can save your life in a critical moment!"

"Who is he? What's his name? Where is he now?" Murong Bingyun asked three questions in a row.

"I don't know, he's dead!" Chen Huo made up a story on the spot.

Murong Bingyun breathed a sigh of relief once again.

She seemed to be quite satisfied with this answer.

It wasn't Chen Huo who killed the two villains and saved her and Li Xiuxiu, but other experts; Chen Huo's appearance was just a coincidence.

As for the medal being a gift from someone else, that makes sense.

After all, there are all kinds of people in prison.

Murong Bingyun had heard that some veterans who had made countless contributions on the battlefield had imprisoned themselves because of serious mistakes or too much killing.

It's a pity that he's no longer here, otherwise I could have gone and seen it for myself.

However, none of that matters!

Importantly, Chen Huo did not have any special identity.

"Is there anything else?" Chen Huo glanced at her and yawned.

Murong Bingyun opened her mouth, as if to say something, but ultimately changed her mind, her expression complex as she said, "Chen Huo, I know you were also a victim in my sister's death!"

"I was too extreme before, and I may have had a lot of prejudice against you!"

"I will definitely find the culprit, avenge my sister, and overcome my inner demons. Similarly, I hope you can start anew, be honest and upright, and live a decent life!"

"If I discover any illegal activities you've committed, I won't let you off easily either!"

Chen Huo raised an eyebrow: "It's quite rare to see War God Murong admit his mistake!"

"Don't worry, I'm not a very ambitious person! Just like you, I just want to get rid of my inner turmoil and then find a few wives to keep me warm!"

Murong Bingyun's lips twitched, unsure how to respond.

"It's so late, why don't you just stay here and come to my bedside to warm up?" Chen Huo said with a half-smile.

Murong Bingyun was slightly taken aback. A blush quickly crossed her icy face as she gritted her teeth and said, "Shameless!"

"Just kidding, you're so cold, how could you possibly warm the bed!" Chen Huo grinned. "But you seem full of energy, with a restless, volatile temper; you must have suffered some serious internal injuries earlier!"

"It's best to get some treatment as soon as possible to avoid any long-term effects!"

"You..." Murong Bingyun was about to say something, but Chen Huo had already disappeared from the spot. "That bastard, how did he know I had internal injuries..."

"War God Murong, how did the questioning go? Is it really him?" Li Xiuxiu, who was waiting at the base, asked impatiently when she saw Murong Bingyun return.

"No, it's just a coincidence!" Murong Bingyun shook her head. "As for the medal, it was a gift from someone else!"

"I knew it! How could someone like him possibly save us? He's just using his medal to intimidate us!" Li Xiuxiu snorted contemptuously.

"Report back to the Sun family that this matter ends here. Don't cause any more trouble for Chen Huo!" Murong Bingyun instructed. "You've worked hard these past few days, go home and rest early!"

"Yes, you should go early too!" Li Xiuxiu accepted the order.

Murong Bingyun nodded, preparing to go back to sleep.

As he lifted his foot, his body suddenly choked, a muffled groan escaped his throat, and he clutched his chest.

"War God Murong, what's wrong?" Li Xiuxiu's expression changed, and she hurriedly asked.

"It's nothing, just an internal injury flaring up!" Murong Bingyun wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth.

"War God Murong, you were seriously injured when you fought the Five Evils last time! The higher-ups ordered you to return to Jiangcheng to recuperate, but you refused! If you continue like this, your injuries will only get worse!" Li Xiuxiu complained. "I heard there's a renowned physician in Jiangcheng named Zhong Xueru, whose skills are extraordinary. Why don't I make an appointment for a consultation tomorrow?"

"My internal injuries are not ordinary superficial wounds. Only a martial arts master stronger than me can heal me!" Murong Bingyun shook her head and refused. "I'll wait until the God of War Lieyang arrives in Jiangcheng before having him treat me!"

"The God of War is on a mission out there; he won't be back for at least ten days to two weeks!" Li Xiuxiu said, pouting. "Anyway, it won't hurt to take a look, so let's give it a try!"

"Maybe they really do have some skills and can cure it? That way, you won't owe the God of War a favor!"

Murong Bingyun thought about it and agreed.

She was already reluctant to ask the God of War for help, so if someone else could cure her illness, it would save her the trouble.

"Okay, you make the appointment for me, I'll go check it out tomorrow!"

"Okay!" Li Xiuxiu's face lit up with joy.

At this very moment, the Zhang family is also staying up all night.

Zhang Yudi, along with her parents and other relatives, sat uneasily in the hall, the atmosphere tense and oppressive.

"How could Zhu Minghui do this? Isn't he the young master of one of the four great families? He doesn't even have this much ability!" Zhang Shuchun paced back and forth with his hands behind his back. "Not only does he not help us, but he also turns around and tries to collect debts from us on Chen Huo's behalf. What's he doing?"

"Damn it, Zhu Minghui always brags so much, but when it really matters, he's utterly useless! I've been treating him like a VIP, afraid of neglecting him, and it turns out he's just a show-off!" Dai Shuying cursed. "I just don't understand, what is it about this Chen Huo that makes the four great families bow down to him!"

"Oh dear, that's not the point right now!" Zhang Shuchun said impatiently. "The Zhu family has already put pressure on us, cutting off our business channels. If we don't remove them, we'll face exorbitant breach of contract penalties from our partners!"

"Yudi, is there really absolutely no room for negotiation with Zhu Minghui?"

"That good-for-nothing Zhu Minghui has no say in the family; his father makes all the decisions!" Zhang Yudi said angrily. "He said his father gave a firm order that we must pay back the money; there's no room for negotiation!"

"Mr. Zhang, Mr. Zhang... Something terrible has happened!" A senior company executive rushed in, sweating profusely. "Mr. Zhang, we just received notices from several banks informing us that all our loans must be settled immediately, otherwise they will seize all our assets to pay off our debts!"
