A miraculous doctor descended from the heavens.

"Young Master Feng, please don't do this..." Ye Lifen pleaded with him, her voice trembling and choked with sobs.

She wanted to push him away, but when she thought of how angry he had been just now, and with Jingjing now silent, she felt so weak that she couldn't muster any strength.

Gu Feng brought his face close to hers, his tone soft and gentle, yet chillingly cold: "Sister-in-law, don't you like me holding you?"

Ye Lifen's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly said, "I like it, I like it."

Gu Feng chuckled softly, revealing his white teeth; his smile was like that of a wolf. He gently stroked her back with one hand, as if soothing a frightened cat.

Ye Lifen trembled uncontrollably, half out of fear, and half out of something else she couldn't quite put her finger on. Her voice was trembling with sobs as she cried, "Young Master Feng, please don't do this, please don't do this!"

"Shh—" Gu Feng brought his lips close to her ear, "Sister-in-law, your skin is so white and smooth."

Ye Lifen was powerless to resist and could only passively endure it.

She bit her lip hard, desperately trying to hold back her tears, but her eyes were already soaked.

"Young Master Feng, I was wrong, please don't treat me like this... My brother raised me and supported my education. He rarely asks me for help, how can I not help him..."

Before she could finish speaking, Gu Feng lowered his head and kissed her, forcefully silencing her from saying the rest of her words.

……

When Gu Feng felt her fingernails scratch his back, he looked down and his expression changed slightly. "I didn't know... you still..."

Tears streaming down Ye Lifen's face, she interrupted him with a mixture of hatred and resentment, "In your eyes, I'm the kind of woman who sleeps with anyone, right?"

Gu Feng smiled wryly, which was taken as tacit agreement.

Ye Lifen's worldly wisdom and composure, along with the alluring manner she exuded, made anyone who saw her think she was very experienced.

Gu Feng finally managed to speak, his voice a little dry: "I didn't want this to happen, but those puffs of your cigarette were just too strong, I couldn't control it no matter how hard I tried. My women aren't around, and I don't want to just sleep with someone I don't feel anything for, so..."

"So you pretended to be weak to take advantage of the situation!" Ye Lifen said, tears streaming down her face, then gave a self-deprecating laugh. "It's my own fault. Who told me to be so presumptuous as to provoke you?"

"If you don't want to, I'll get up now." Gu Feng said this somewhat foolishly, truly preparing to leave her.

Ye Lifen suddenly tightened her grip and hugged him tightly.

"You..." Gu Feng was stunned, not understanding what she meant.

"You bastard, you still want to back out now?"

Gu Feng looked down and remained silent for a moment.

Seeing Gu Feng's changing expression, Ye Lifen hurriedly said, "I don't ask you for anything else, just don't hurt my brother!"

"I……"

Gu Feng wanted to say something, but Ye Lifen raised her hand and covered his mouth: "Whether you agree or not, tell me after this is over."

……

Time passed, and then everything fell silent.

"Now, can you tell me the answer? Can you let my brother go?" Ye Lifen asked breathlessly.

Gu Feng looked at her and slowly shook his head.

Ye Lifen's tears welled up instantly.

They paid with blood and tears, only to be met with cruelty in the end.

"Why are you crying?" Gu Feng reached out and gently wiped away her tears.

"Don't touch me!" Completely desperate, Ye Lifen cried like a baby, slapped his hand away, and glared at Gu Feng hatefully. "Since you've already killed Jingjing and won't let my brother go, you're definitely going to kill me too, right? Then do it now."

"Heh, silly girl." Gu Feng chuckled, ignoring her feeble resistance, and pulled her into his arms, softening his voice as he said, "Jingjing just fainted; she'll wake up soon. I shook my head not because I meant to do anything to your brother, but because I meant that your brother has no future following a big shot like that. A prodigy might be arrogant for a while, but it can never last. Your brother has the skills and determination; it's such a waste for him to follow that kind of big shot. Let him come with me. If he framed me, he'd only get a settlement fee at most, but if he comes with me, I can help him rise to a big shot's position."

"Huh?" Ye Lifen was both surprised and delighted, looking at him in disbelief. It took her a while to react, and then she cried even louder.

"Huh? Didn't I promise you? Why are you crying again?" Gu Feng asked, puzzled.

"At a time like this, do you expect me to laugh?" Ye Lifen cried, throwing herself into his arms, punching and biting him as she cursed, "You bastard, it hurts so much!"

"Sister-in-law, this isn't my fault. You can only blame yourself for those few puffs of cigarette smoke," Gu Feng said innocently.

Ye Lifen pursed her lips, then suddenly laughed, "Who told you to be like Tang Sanzang's flesh now, everyone wants to take a bite?"

Gu Feng smiled, then fell silent.

"What are you thinking about?" Ye Lifen couldn't help but ask when Gu Feng remained silent for a long time.

"I don't know what I'm thinking. This isn't what I wanted to see," Gu Feng sighed.

"Come on, isn't this what you wanted to see?" Ye Lifen pouted and said softly, then sighed, "The moment you first saw me in the private room, I knew you wanted me. I've guarded my virginity for so many years, and in the end, it all went to you. My most precious thing is gone just like that."

Seeing that her eyes were red again and tears were about to spill over, Gu Feng quickly changed the subject: "Sister-in-law, what's your name?"

"You're calling me sister-in-law!" Ye Lifen scolded playfully, pinching him hard before chuckling, "Alright, from now on you have to call me sister-in-law."

"..." Gu Feng was speechless.

Ye Lifen smiled and beckoned to him with her finger. Gu Feng was confused, but she had already grabbed his ear and brought her mouth close to his: "Remember this, your sister-in-law's name is Qi Bingqing."

"Qi Bingqing." Gu Feng repeated each word carefully, unable to help but praise, "She has a beautiful name and she's beautiful too."

"Even if it's beautiful, you've ruined it all," Qi Bingqing complained quietly.

"But to gain two lives, isn't that a pretty good deal?" Gu Feng laughed.

"What do you mean?" Qi Bingqing asked, puzzled.

"You're right. The moment I saw you, I had feelings for you. But if it weren't for those last few puffs of cigarette that made me so impulsive, I probably wouldn't have wanted you." Gu Feng saw her pout again and couldn't help but reach out and pinch her cheek before continuing, "You know what? If I hadn't been so impulsive just now, and had calmly informed the advisor directly, then once he arrived, this wouldn't be a private matter anymore, but a public matter for the gang. You should know that this kind of thing can be a big deal or a small one. On the worst, you, your brother, and your brother's boss would all be dead. On the worst, they might escape the death penalty, but they wouldn't escape punishment. A country has its laws, and a gang has its rules. People like your brother and his boss, who commit insubordination, sow discord, and frame others, will not be spared by me, the advisor, or Ding Hanhan."

Qi Bingqing's face turned pale, and she was covered in cold sweat. She looked at Gu Feng with fear and lingering dread, unable to utter a single word.

"I really shouldn't have been soft-hearted. Right now is the time for a major reshuffle of the Yihe Gang's top leadership. Any leader who dares to have disloyal thoughts and cause trouble must be suppressed. Not only should we remove the radish, but we should also clean up the mud that comes with it."

Seeing Qi Bingqing trembling as he finished speaking, Gu Feng couldn't bear to continue.

Since such a bloody and cruel ending didn't actually happen, he smiled faintly and hugged her tighter.

"What are you afraid of? None of what I'm saying will happen now. You sacrificed yourself to save your and your brother's lives, and to give that big shot of his a few more days to live. So, no matter how you look at it, it's a worthwhile trade. It's just that..."

"But what?" Qi Bingqing's heart tightened, and she quickly asked.

"This is the best outcome I could have imagined. But if your brother is disobedient and refuses to cooperate, then no matter how kind or soft-hearted I am, I still can't keep him. Sitting in my position, sometimes I can't just think about personal feelings. My gains and losses are related to the lives of many people. You're so smart, you should understand this."

Gu Feng finished speaking slowly, though he was also a little scared.

If Qi Bingqing and her brother's plan really succeeds tonight, then even if Ding Hanhan is magnanimous enough to put aside personal feelings and not care about personal gains and losses, and doesn't turn against him, that bag of powder will still get him into trouble.

Having lured the tiger away from the mountain, it was time for them to make their move against Ding Hanhan and the advisor.

By then, the number of dead will be more than just one or two.

"Young Master Feng, thank you."

Qi Bingqing is a very perceptive woman; she can understand things without them needing to be explicitly stated, especially since Gu Feng has already explained things so clearly.

Having figured out the ins and outs and the stakes involved, her gratitude was not just lip service, but came from the bottom of her heart.

"So do you know what to do?" Gu Feng asked calmly.

"I know," Qi Bingqing replied, then leaned down onto Gu Feng's chest and slowly kissed him.

Gu Feng was both amused and exasperated by her, and reached out to pull her up: "Didn't you make that clear?"

"I understand now," Qi Bingqing said, looking at him innocently.

"But if you really understand, what you should do now is call your brother over," Gu Feng said with a wry smile.

"I know. It's okay if the call is half an hour or an hour late, my brother will wait no matter how late it is. But you're in this state, so volatile and angry, you can't wait a second longer. I need to calm you down so you can be more composed when you talk to my brother later." Qi Bingqing said, winking her charming eyes at him. "Don't you think so?"

Gu Feng had nothing to say, so he could only laugh.

The woman lying on top of him was truly an understanding and considerate enchantress.

Seeing that Gu Feng acquiesced, Qi Bingqing's soft, boneless body wrapped around him...
