My father's inheritance is my mortal enemy.

Zhou Yanshao held Li Bo's hand and urged Li Bo to face the collapse in his palm.

Li Bo couldn't remember the last time he had done this. No man would feel uncomfortable doing this, and Li Bo was no exception. However, he was a rather indifferent person, and it had been a long time since the last time, so he easily lost to Zhou Yanshao.

But Zhou Yanshao refused to come in and instead stuffed a lot of random things into Li Bo's hands, leaving him with a dilemma.

Li Bo didn't know where these things came from. Zhou Yanshao insisted on giving them to him. He tried to avoid them, but couldn't refuse. He just sighed slightly and frowned.

He fully accepted Zhou Yanshao's teasing.

Li Bo didn't remember how he finally fell asleep, only that when a person is truly exhausted, they can fall asleep the moment their head touches the pillow.

But he woke up twice because Zhou Yanshao refused to give up.

Li Bo grasped Zhou Yanshao's wrist. "That's enough!"

"Um."

Zhou Yanshao rarely agreed, but the next second...

Li Bo's pupils widened, and he felt a little regretful. He should have known better than to be fierce; the fiercer he was, the more trouble he would cause. He should have just gone along with her and coaxed her.

Li Bo tried to appease Zhou Yanshao for over half an hour, but it didn't appease him. In the end, Li Bo was so tired that he fell asleep.

The next morning, Li Bo's phone rang.

He was so tired that his hand instinctively reached around where he usually kept his phone, but he couldn't find it. He hadn't slept properly last night, so his phone couldn't possibly be with him; it might have fallen by the door without him even noticing.

Zhou Yanshao hugged Li Bo tightly, knowing exactly where the phone was. He swept his arm around Li Bo, looked at the contact name on the screen, and answered the call for him, his voice cold: "Feed."

"Xiao Bo," Ning Zhi said, "I'll settle my parents within a month. A month later, I'll come to Northern Europe to pick you up. My current savings are enough for us to live on for thirty years. We can live like before. I..."

Zhou Yanshao interrupted with a cold laugh: "No."

Zhou Yanshao looked down at Li Bo, who had fallen asleep again, his expression slightly somber. He silenced Li Bo's phone, put it aside, and put an eye mask on Li Bo.

Li Bo always wanted to leave, for the sake of many people and many things.

Ning Zhi is a cautious person and doesn't understand Li Bo well enough. Shu Lang is meticulous in his work, but he is too calculating. Li Bo lacks discernment and always likes to get entangled with other men, unable to distinguish who should stay by his side.

Zhou Yanshao used to always choose for Li Bo, but this time he didn't want to.

Whether it's being tied up or forced, it doesn't matter.

Zhou Yanshao simply didn't want Li Bo to leave his side again; he wanted to keep Li Bo by his side forever. So, Zhou Yanshao did just that.

He rarely disrespected Li Bo's wishes, except when he called a halt to that particular matter.

This is the first time, and there's no going back.

Zhou Yanshao tied Li Bo to his room, not letting him see anything or walk past him. In that short day, Li Bo's phone rang many times—work calls, calls from Ning Zhi, calls from Mr. Dejin…

Zhou Yanshao didn't answer any of the calls, just stared coldly at his phone, glancing at the frequently lit screen while clicking the "#" button.

As long as it's Ning Zhi, Li Bo will suffer.

When Li Bo was conscious, he couldn't see anything because his eyes were covered. When he was drowsy, he could hear faint breathing sounds, which were Zhou Yanshao's voice.

Li Bo couldn't help but marvel at Zhou Yanshao's abilities, but he couldn't call a halt because his mouth was covered, preventing him from speaking.

No matter how Li Bo patted Zhou Yanshao, Zhou Yanshao ignored him and would even grab his wrist and lead him there.

Li Bo endured the entire day.

He didn't notice anything unusual about Zhou Yanshao. After all, a day was a normal amount of time for Zhou Yanshao. It was just that this time Zhou Yanshao had some unusual habits and was a bit fierce. After all, he had been gone for three days, so it was understandable that Zhou Yanshao was eager to get close to him.

The next day, Li Bo was no longer gagged and was allowed to speak, but he couldn't speak because his throat was sore and his memory of the previous day was very limited.

Li Bo only knew that he had fallen asleep in a daze and could not see anything when he opened his eyes, but he knew that Zhou Yanshao was in front of him every time he woke up, and he did not know whether Zhou Yanshao had gone to training.

This day was no different from the previous day, except that Li Bo was able to say a few words, and Zhou Yanshao really enjoyed listening to Li Bo's voice.

The same thing happened on the third day.

Zhou Yanshao fed Li Bo every day, from morning to night.

When Li Bo went to bed that night, he realized something was wrong. Zhou Yanshao had been blindfolding him for two days, preventing him from making phone calls or working, and forcing him to stay in bed. Even if he was angry, he wouldn't stop him from going out and obeying him every day.

For the next three days, Li Bo was still not allowed to remove his blindfold, and not only that, his hands were also restricted.

Li Bo appears to have been imprisoned by Zhou Yanshao.

Zhou Yanshao wouldn't let him go anywhere, locking him in his room and not allowing anyone else in. Even Zhou Yanshao himself rarely went out.

Li Bo only left the dormitory briefly when Zhou Yanshao went out for retraining or to buy food, and during these short periods, Li Bo was almost always asleep. Therefore, in his perception, Zhou Yanshao never left the dormitory.

On the third day, Li Bo's throat felt much better.

He moved his lips, the pain from the cracked corner making him speak very carefully: "What are you doing?"

Zhou Yanshao frowned and remained silent.

Li Bo's words sounded like a question, or perhaps an expression of anger.

Zhou Yanshao was unhappy again and covered Li Bo's mouth again, not letting him speak, and didn't even want to hear him utter a sound.

Zhou Yanshao knew that Li Bo was always away for work and couldn't let go of many things, but he just didn't want Li Bo to leave his sight, not even for a minute.

Ning Zhi said she was coming to find Li Bo.

Zhou Yanshao didn't want Ning Zhi to find Li Bo, nor did he want Ning Zhi to take Li Bo away, so he resorted to despicable and underhanded methods to hide Li Bo and prevent anyone from finding him.

Even if Li Bo is unwilling, gets angry with him, or lashes out at him, he doesn't care.

Zhou Yanshao hid Li Bo for three days. On the fourth day, Mr. Dejin came knocking on the door.
