"Hmm." "I'm really sorry for intruding, but do you happen to know where the Fang Family is located?" Xia Liu could distinctly feel from the conversation between Lin Yazhi and Uncle Fu. Fang Fei was undoubtedly in a very tough situation, living a life she disliked. For anyone, this would be torture. If one had to endure it for a lifetime, what was the difference from a prison? Fang Fei, who belonged to Liuhai City, had disappeared years ago. Fang Fei belonged only to Hejing! Belonged to him, Xia Liu! Now, Xia Liu just wanted to bring Fang Fei back home as soon as possible. "Young man, pardon my frankness, but you won't be able to even enter the gates of the Fang Family, let alone do anything even if you know Miss Fei," Uncle Fu bluntly said. Before he started driving for Lin Yazhi, he had always worked for the Fang family. He knew quite a bit about the Fang family; thinking that Xia Liu could storm in alone and take someone from the Fang family was pure folly. Not to mention that Miss Fei was even preparing to get engaged. "That doesn't matter, just tell me where the Fang Family lives," Xia Liu said with a slight smile. Just because others couldn't take her away didn't mean he couldn't. If pushed to desperate measures, he wouldn't mind shaking Huaxia a bit. "Xia Liu, is it okay if I address you by your name?" "Yes, Miss Lin, please go ahead." "Although Fang Fei and I are not related by blood, she is my sister. I'm not sure if what you say is true, but if it is, my sister definitely wouldn't want you to go find her," Lin Yazhi said calmly. Xia Liu came to Liu Hai without even knowing where the Fang family lived. Clearly, Fang Fei hadn't told him. If that was the case, then his insistence on going would certainly not be what Fang Fei wanted to see. How the Fang family was, Lin Yazhi knew better than anyone; they were a tiger entrenched in Liu Hai! "I know what you're worried about, but please believe me, Fang Fei definitely doesn't want to live this life now." "Yes! My sister doesn't want to live like this, but if you truly want to cherish her, don't make her sad. This will kill you," Lin Yazhi's voice had a hint of anger. Fang Fei didn't give Xia Liu the address; she was protecting him. Just this fact alone was enough to prove Xia Liu's place in Fang Fei's heart; you can imagine, she was very happy in that small town. "Even if it leads to death, I won't let my woman suffer any injustice, Miss Lin, you also don't want to see her unhappy, right?" Xia Liu looked sincere and resolute, Lin Yazhi laughed. This man was willing to risk his life for her sister; surely, many happy moments had happened between them. "The Fang Family..." "Yazhi shouldn't say; Xia Liu is alone, isn't it because Miss Fei didn't want him to find her that she feared he would come knocking?" Just as Lin Yazhi was about to speak, Uncle Fu suddenly interrupted her. Once again stirred by thoughts of Fang Fei, Lin Yazhi fell silent. Indeed, if she gave Xia Liu the address, he might have no future. Seeing this, Xia Liu understood that they were all concerned about his safety. "Ah... I won't ask about the Fang family anymore, can you tell me where the Ouyang family lives?" Knowing Lin Yazhi wouldn't disclose the Fang family's address, Xia Liu shifted his question to another family. "What do you want with the Ouyang family?" Hearing about this family, Uncle Fu became agitated once again. "Go and talk to that guy, ask him to give up the marriage with Fang Fei, and then everyone will be happy," Xia Liu said casually. Through Li Qianqian, he learned that the family Fang Fei was marrying into was another prominent clan in Liuhai City, the Ouyang Family. The Ouyang Family is a business giant, ranked among the top ten in Liuhai City and even across Huaxia. Their wealth could burn continuously for three days and nights without running out. Hiss... Lin Yazhi and Uncle Fu gasped in astonishment, as Xia Liu once again reset their understanding of shock. He was actually entertaining the idea of negotiating a breakup with the Ouyang Family, surely the coldest joke in the world. "Xia Liu, I don't know what to say anymore, listen to me, just go back. They are not something you can handle," Lin Yazhi said, defeated. Paralyzed by helplessness, Fang Fei's fate had long been sealed—perhaps only a god could break her free from it. "Uncle Fu, you were a King of Soldiers from the Spearhead Troop before you retired, weren't you?" Hearing Lin Yazhi say this, Xia Liu knew he wouldn't get any information if he didn't demonstrate something spectacular. So, he revealed what he had discovered just moments ago. "What did you say!" Uncle Fu suddenly braked hard, pulling the car over to the side of the road, his cold eyes intently fixed on Xia Liu. Even Lin Yazhi didn't know his identity. But Xia Liu, seeing him for the first time, had been able to point it out—he was definitely no ordinary man! "Warriors from the Spearhead Troop each tattoo a knife on their body, the size of the knife indicating their rank. You have a scar on your wrist, deliberately obscured, but I can still make it out. When you left the Spearhead, you were at least at the King of Soldiers level," Xia Liu continued explaining. "Who exactly are you!" Uncle Fu panicked, as Xia Liu even knew such a carefully guarded truth. If he was an enemy, then Lin Yazhi was in danger! "Who I am isn't important. What's important is that I mean no harm to you; I'm just asking for directions," Xia Liu said bitterly. Even asking for directions could be this troublesome, he was exasperated. But since he had caught this opportunity, he definitely couldn't simply give up. Lin Yazhi quietly observed Xia Liu; he seemed very calm, polite, and graceful to her. But seeing Uncle Fu's reaction, he seemed terrified... "Uncle Fu, I trust Xia Liu. Let's drive home, and we'll talk then," Lin Yazhi said softly after some consideration. "This..." Uncle Fu was somewhat at a loss. Knowing so much about the Spearhead Troop and still being so composed, Xia Liu was surely no ordinary person. Taking him back home was akin to inviting a wolf into the den. "Thank you, Miss Lin, for your trust. Uncle Fu, I can see that your energy is not flowing smoothly, probably a chronic condition left from fierce battles. I can heal you completely," Xia Liu said. "What! You could actually discern my injury!" Uncle Fu was utterly unsettled. Xia Liu was alarmingly dangerous. A chill ran through him. Xia Liu must have done extensive homework, otherwise he wouldn't have known about his injury. This was a secret known only to a very few people, and he hadn't told anyone else. Not even Lin Yazhi knew. "Uncle Fu, is what Xia Liu said true?" Lin Yazhi asked, astonished, realizing she had been far too careless in the years she had not noticed the injury Uncle Fu carried. "Hmm, but it's nothing. I've gotten used to it," Uncle Fu said, forcing a smile. "Give me your hand." To ease Uncle Fu's worries, Xia Liu decided to show a little of his ability. Xia Liu's words were like magic, leaving Uncle Fu no room to refuse.
