It was approaching evening.

As the sun set, Qin Heng and Guo Man walked out of the martial arts school side by side. They nodded goodbye at the crossroads and turned away.

Watching Guo Man's retreating figure, Qin Heng knew in his heart that Guo Man had probably noticed his hard work over the past two days, which was why the other party was trying to pull him into their little circle.

He glanced at the sky and quickened his pace toward Fishing Fire Bay, not wanting his sister to worry about him again today.

There were very few pedestrians on the streets, and even the Black Wave Gang members who usually patrolled the streets were nowhere to be seen.

Before long, Qin Heng returned home.

"You're back, Xiao Heng." Her older sister's voice came from the corner of the room.

With the faint light filtering in from the window, Qin Heng could see his sister huddled in the corner.

He frowned slightly, sensing that something was amiss.

My sister's voice sounded a little hoarse, and she usually doesn't like to sit there.

Qin Heng quickly walked to the opposite side of Qin Ting, "Sister, you..."

"I'm fine." Qin Ting kept her head down, embroidering a plain white handkerchief in the dim light.

"Sis, if you were alright, you wouldn't have said you were alright on purpose."

Qin Heng sighed and slowly sat down opposite Qin Ting. "Was it that villain Liu Bao who came knocking again today?"

"Bang!"

Before he could finish speaking, a loud crash was heard, and the wooden door of the shop was kicked open, causing wood chips to fall from the door frame.

Qin Ting was so frightened that her hand trembled, and she almost pricked her finger with the needle.

Qin Heng immediately stood up and shielded his sister behind him, but he was greatly surprised when he saw who it was.

"Er Gouzi?"

The person who arrived was not Liu Bao, but Chen Ergou, one of his men.

"Shut up! You brat, how dare you call me Er Gouzi? Call me Master Gou!" Chen Er Gou shouted sternly.

Then, imitating Liu Bao's mannerisms, he swaggered into the house.

"Our Brother Leopard is busy! He came to see Ting Niangzi during the day, but they couldn't reach an agreement, and he forgot to give you a deadline."

He plopped down on the bench by the door, crossed his legs, and glanced sideways at Qin Ting, declaring:

"Miss Ting, our Brother Leopard said he's given you plenty of time. Next time he comes, he won't just talk; he'll come in a bridal sedan chair!"

He paused, then turned to Qin Heng and said, "Listen carefully, you have one day to pack your belongings. The day after tomorrow morning, you two siblings should obediently go to Brother Leopard's place and give him an answer: either agree to get married, or hand over the shop first."

"Otherwise, hmph—" Chen Ergou stood up and spat on the ground.

"I, the Black Wave Gang, will not accept your 'peace money'!" After saying this, he turned to leave.

"Wait!" Qin Heng suddenly spoke up.

"What, you've figured it out?" Chen Ergou sneered and turned to look at Qin Heng.

Qin Heng remained calm and said indifferently, "If I'm not mistaken, you're going to patrol the streets soon, right? Brother Leopard is indeed busy."

Chen Ergou's face stiffened upon hearing this, utterly bewildered: "You brat, what are you talking about! What does my patrolling the streets have to do with Brother Leopard?"

"It's nothing," Qin Heng shook his head.

Chen Ergou looked at Qin Heng suspiciously, but couldn't figure it out. He just assumed the kid was scared out of his wits and talking nonsense.

He spat again, then turned and strode away.

After Chen Ergou's footsteps completely disappeared.

Qin Ting hurriedly got up, closed the shop door, and locked it tightly.

"Xiao Heng, we..."

"Sister, what about the Zhou family?" Qin Heng helped his sister sit down and asked in a deep voice.

Upon hearing the name of the Zhou family, Qin Ting's face instantly showed a hint of panic and anxiety, but she quickly concealed it by lowering her head.

"Brother Zhou Ping has gone on a long journey, accompanying a security escort agency on a shipment. He won't be back for about ten days."

As soon as she finished speaking, Qin Ting's heart sank again.

She only now realized how dependent her family was on the Zhou family.

Without the protection of Brother Zhou Ping, a martial arts expert, she had no choice but to face Liu Bao and his gang of villains alone.

Should we really hand over the shop first? But Xiao Heng still needs to practice martial arts; how will we support him without the shop...?

Qin Heng's right eyelid twitched slightly a few times.

He reached out and pressed down, knowing in his heart that this time, probably no one would come to help his family.

But Liu Bao, this vicious wolf who was getting impatient, was becoming increasingly irritated, and the next time would be the time for him to bare his teeth and bite!

We absolutely cannot let my sister deal with this again.

This time it's his turn to step forward.

"Sis, don't overthink it."

Qin Heng raised his head, looked at Qin Ting with a firm gaze, and said in a deep voice, "Leave this matter to me."

......

evening.

As the last rays of the setting sun disappeared, the sky became completely dark.

In a shack in Ernai Lane, Yuhuowan, the oil lamp that had just been lit cast a shadow on the window that began to tremble wildly.

As soon as you get close, you can hear the creaking and grinding sounds coming from inside the house, the wooden planks rattling wildly, each sound more urgent than the last.

As the noise subsided, Liu Bao let out a long breath and propped himself up from the bed.

He sat naked on the edge of the bed, and a soft, delicate woman's hand reached out from behind him and wrapped around his chest.

"Brother Leopard~ won't you stay a little longer?" the woman said in a drawn-out, coquettish tone, trying to keep the man company a little longer, but Liu Bao shoved her away roughly.

"Stay here my ass!"

Liu Bao cursed as he got up and dressed, completely ignoring the woman behind him. He haphazardly threw on his clothes and strode toward the door.

But he had only taken two steps when the door was suddenly yanked open, and a figure stormed in angrily.

But the moment the man saw what was happening inside the house, he froze on the spot, and the wooden stick he was holding crashed to the ground with a loud thud.

Liu Bao glanced at Chen Ergou casually, his expression indifferent, as if this was his home and what did it matter whose wife the woman on the bed was.

He swung his arms and continued walking, but as he reached the door, he stared into Chen Ergou's eyes, which Chen dared not meet, and coldly uttered:

"Your bed is too hard."

As soon as he finished speaking, he didn't even look at Chen Ergou. He raised his hand and slapped the other man across the face, roughly shoving him aside before walking away.

Only after Liu Bao had walked away did Chen Ergou dare to stand up straight. Looking at his wife, whose clothes were disheveled, on the bed, he was burning with rage.

While patrolling the streets earlier, he suddenly remembered Qin Heng's inexplicable remark, and the more he thought about it, the more something seemed off.

Every time it was his turn to patrol the streets, his wife Qiaoxiang would not let him touch her, always making excuses that she was tired. Only then did he become suspicious and sneak home early to check.

Little did he know, what he saw struck him like a thunderbolt!

That villain Liu Bao actually made Chen Ergou a complete cuckold!

Consumed by rage, he ripped off his cumbersome jacket, picked up the wooden sticks on the ground, and threw them all out the door in a fit of rage.

Immediately afterwards, there was a loud "bang".

Chen Ergou slammed the door shut and walked step by step toward the bed with a gloomy face.

Today he's determined to teach this unfaithful woman a lesson.

Outside, Liu Bao had already walked far away, leaving the alley, and was leisurely walking back to his home.

No one noticed that a figure flashed past in the alley.
