Yan Wen hadn't noticed that everyone in the Mu Family had put down their chopsticks and was staring at him, hungry for answers.

A minute later, Xiao Qi replied, Host, that classmate's name is Qi Shu Yu. He's two months younger than Mu Xu Ye and works as a software engineer at a company. Mu Xu Ye will be drugged three days from now, at Wuyue Liaosi Bar.

Great! I can watch the drama unfold in person.

Tang Yun sensed something was off and asked, "Why have you all stopped eating?"

At that, Yan Wen paused with his chopsticks in midair. "Huh? Are you all full already?"

Mu Xu Xi hurriedly picked up her chopsticks. "No, no. We're waiting for the food to cool down a little so we don't burn ourselves."

"Right, right. It's cooled down enough now. Let's eat."

Yan Wen was dubious. Who lets their food go cold before eating it? Doesn't that defeat the point of cooking it?

Xiao Qi didn't understand either. Maybe that's their particular preference.

After dinner, Xie Yunshu instructed the servants to prepare a guest room near the end of the hallway, three rooms away from Yan Wen's.

Yan Wen and Tang Yun watched TV on the sofa. Mu Huai'an sat off to the side, plotting who knew what, while the other members of the Mu Family huddled in a corner and whispered.

Mu Xu Xi struggled to contain her excitement. "Eldest Brother, did you know you had a classmate who loved you this much?!"

Mu Xu Ci wore the same expression. "Eldest Brother, do you want to meet this classmate ahead of time? Yan Wen said he's liked you all along. Aren't you going to give him an answer?"

Mu Xu Ye's face betrayed no emotion. "I'll handle this myself."

Xie Yunshu smiled. "Are you worried your dad and I won't approve? Don't worry. Our Mu Family isn't that old-fashioned. As long as you truly love each other, we'll support you."

Mu Xingfeng said nothing, but smiled and nodded in agreement.

Mu Xu Ye pressed a hand to his forehead. "How are you so sure I'll like him?"

After watching TV for a while, Yan Wen grew bored and asked Xiao Qi if there was any entertaining gossip.

Xiao Qi ran a search. Host, there's some drama, but it isn't entertaining. It's pretty serious.

Yan Wen stopped peeling his orange. What's going on?

You remember Gu Siyan, right? He forcibly took Qin Yue to the hospital and bribed a doctor to transplant her kidney into Ran Zhizhi.

What?! How dare that bastard? Isn't he afraid Qin Yue's family will kill him?

I don't know how Gu Siyan's brain works either. Host, you'd better hurry over and save her. There's still time if you leave now. That hospital happens to be one the Mu Family invested in.

Yan Wen dropped what he was holding and ran out. "Mom, Dad, I need to go out!"

The Mu Family had heard his thoughts loud and clear. Seeing that he'd already run off, the five of them followed. Dragged along by his mother and sister, Mu Xu Ye had no choice but to join them for the drama.

Tang Yun had already run after Yan Wen as soon as he headed for the door.

Mu Huai'an emerged from the bathroom to find himself alone in the living room.

Weicheng Central Hospital

Two of Gu Siyan's buddies held Qin Yue down while Gu Siyan cradled the deathly pale Ran Zhizhi in his arms and discussed the kidney donation with the bribed doctor.

Qin Yue struggled desperately, but couldn't break free at all. "Gu Siyan, let me go!"

Gu Siyan gently stroked Ran Zhizhi's head. "Don't be afraid, Zhizhi. Once the surgery's over, you'll be cured."

Ran Zhizhi gave a faint, weak nod. "But what will happen to Yue? Aren't we going too far? She could die."

Gu Siyan's expression immediately darkened. "If she dies, she deserves it. She owes you this. All I care about is that you're okay."

Ran Zhizhi leaned against his chest. "Siyan, you're so good to me."

Yan Wen learned what had happened on the way over. Ran Zhizhi had forged a medical report, tricking Gu Siyan into believing she needed a kidney transplant to survive. Qin Yue happened to be out alone on an errand that day, giving him the opportunity he needed.

When Yan Wen arrived, two men were holding Qin Yue on her knees on the floor. Her hair was disheveled, and one cheek was red.

Qin Yue pleaded, "Gu Siyan, I'm not lying. I really am pregnant."

Gu Siyan looked down at her. "You're still trying to lie to me? You're donating a kidney to Zhizhi today, no matter what. You owe me!"

Yan Wen sneered inwardly. Why hasn't lightning struck this bastard dead?

Tang Yun stared at the scene in shock. There was more drama to watch, and this time it was seriously bad.

Yan Wen kicked each of the two men from behind. They let go with cries of pain, and Tang Yun swiftly helped Qin Yue to her feet and guided her behind Yan Wen.

Gu Siyan frowned. "You two again!"

Yan Wen sneered. "It's barely been any time at all, and you're already courting death again. Looks like I really will have to send you both to prison."

A sheen of cold sweat had already formed on the nervous doctor's forehead. Yan Wen gave him a terrifying smile. "Do you know the consequences of accepting bribes and abusing your position for personal gain?"

The doctor was so frightened that he immediately dropped to his knees. "Young master, young master, I was wrong! I was wrong! Please let me off this once. I'll never do it again. Please spare me! I won't dare do it again!"

Mu Xingfeng stepped forward and patted Yan Wen's shoulder, signaling that he would handle the doctor.

Yan Wen nodded, then planted one hand on his hip and berated Gu Siyan and Ran Zhizhi. "I already let you off back at the company. You just can't stand not having a death wish, can you?"

Mu Xu Xi explained to the bewildered Tang Yun, "That man's a scumbag, and that woman's his mistress. He's forcing his ex-wife to donate a kidney to his mistress."

Tang Yun's eyes widened in shock. "Forcing her? To donate a kidney? I can't believe there are still people this ignorant of the law in the twenty-first century! Is he someone powerful?"

"He was a manager at our family's company, but he was fired ages ago."

"And here I thought he must have some serious authority to dare pull something so suicidal."

The hospital director had received word and rushed over. The bribed doctor would be handed over to him to deal with afterward.

Yan Wen made a call. "Hello? Gu Siyan kidnapped your sister and brought her to the hospital. If you don't get here soon, she'll be in danger. I've sent you the address."

Yan Wen hung up without giving the other person time to respond. Qin Yu's brows drew together tightly. He called Qin Xiao over and drove to the hospital.

Qin Xiao asked, "Big brother, where are we going?"

Qin Yu gripped the steering wheel. "To the hospital. That bastard Gu Siyan kidnapped Yue and took her there."

"What? I've been trying to find him! Just watch me beat him to death when we get there! By the way, Eldest Brother, who told you?"

"The Mu Family's young master, the one who helped our Little Sister at the Mu Group last time. He saved her again this time. We need to thank him properly."

"Of course. He's our family's benefactor."

The fright had caused Qin Yue abdominal pain, so she was taken away for an examination.

When Qin Yu and Qin Xiao arrived, they only saw Gu Siyan and Ran Zhizhi being held under guard. Qin Yue was nowhere in sight.

Qin Xiao asked anxiously, "Where's my Little Sister?"

Yan Wen said, "Those two idiots scared her and threatened her pregnancy. She's being examined now, but she should be fine."

Qin Xiao stepped forward and swung a fist into Gu Siyan's face, knocking him straight to the floor. Blood seeped from the corner of his mouth, and one side of his face immediately swelled.

"Who gave you the nerve to keep bullying my sister over and over? You've got a death wish!"

Qin Yu landed another punch. Aside from Ran Zhizhi screaming for them to stop, no one intervened. Everyone simply watched the show.

Yan Wen watched with mounting excitement. Did you see that, Xiao Qi? That's how you deal with scumbags! Nice hit! Harder! Knock his teeth out!

Host, you've enjoyed enough drama. It's time to get down to business.

I almost forgot.

Yan Wen asked, "I'll leave these two to you, then. It's your family's business, after all."

Qin Yu nodded. "Thank you. If you ever need help with anything, just say the word. The Qin Family will do whatever it takes."

Yan Wen waved a hand. "It was nothing. I can't stand scumbags like these who think the law doesn't apply to them. I'm doing everyone a favor by getting rid of them."

A nurse came over and announced, "Is Qin Yue's family here? The patient is fine now."

Qin Yu said, "Go check on Little Sister. I'll handle things here."

Qin Xiao nodded. "All right, Eldest Brother. Don't let either of them off. Show them your most vicious side."

Yan Wen clicked his tongue. The Qin Family's two brothers are famous for doting on their sister, especially Qin Yu. Whatever else you can say about Gu Siyan, he's an absolute expert at courting death.
