Tiezhu returned to the villa with Shiliu.

The moment the door was pushed open—

The brother and sister stopped in their tracks at the same time.

In the living room.

Xiaoya, Ye Feng, Guo Wei, Wu Lei, Li Wuguo, Zhang Zheng, Liu Feng...

Everyone lined up in a row.

They all stood there obediently with their heads down.

Like a group of children who have done something wrong.

Before them.

Zeng Linglong was standing.

He pointed at Xiaoya with his finger and loudly accused her.

The atmosphere was so tense it felt like it was about to freeze.

The moment Tie Zhu and Shi Liu appeared—

Everyone turned their attention to this.

Xiaoya was staring at Shiliu with her mischievous eyes.

Desperately calling for help.

That look seemed to say:

"Little Pomegranate, save your older sister!"

however--

Zeng Linglong's words shattered her hopes.

"Pomegranate."

His voice was soft.

"Your room has been arranged."

"In the guest room on the third floor."

"It's late now, go upstairs and wash up, then go to sleep and rest."

"We, your older brothers and sisters, still have things to discuss."

Shi Liu glanced at Xiao Ya.

He stuck out his tongue.

She obediently went upstairs.

Before leaving, he gave Xiaoya a "good luck" look.

Xiaoya watched Shiliu go upstairs with a look of despair in her eyes.

Then, he turned his pleading gaze to Tiezhu.

The meaning is quite clear—

Brother Tiezhu, I'm bringing my men over tonight to back you up and help you pick up girls!

Now the boss is blaming me!

You have to defend me and take some of the fire for me!

Tie Zhu, in a very loyal manner, exchanged a glance with Xiao Ya's bright eyes using his large pupils.

Then, he strode forward.

They came to Zeng Linglong's side.

"Boss."

His voice was calm and steady.

"It's all my fault tonight."

"If I hadn't been reckless, things wouldn't have gotten so bad."

Xiaoya finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Tiezhu take the stage.

With Brother Tiezhu taking the fall, she's safe!

"What's it to you?"

Zeng Linglong's anger subsided a little.

"Go sit over there!"

Tie Zhu obediently sat down.

But before he sat down, he gave Xiaoya a look that said, "This is all I can do for you."

Zeng Linglong's gaze returned to Xiaoya.

"Xiaoya is just using this as an excuse to play around, you know?"

Xiaoya immediately stood up straight!

Eyeballs, rolling wildly!

Thinking of a solution!

She believed that as long as He Jing came, she would be alright!

"I can tell what you're up to just by the way you roll your eyes."

Zeng Linglong's voice was laced with sarcasm.

"You want my mom to come and help you get out of this, right?"

"No...no!"

Xiaoya quickly denied it.

"Boss, my eyes didn't move!"

"snort!"

Zeng Linglong sneered.

"You made eye contact with Shiliu, and blinked your right eye three times."

"He made eye contact with Tie Zhu and blinked five times."

"Your eyes moved seven times just now."

"Now, your eyes are practically turning into corns."

Xiaoya finally lowered her head in despair.

His eyes could only focus on his own feet.

no way.

Encountering such a shrewd boss—

Nothing worked.

"Do you know where you went wrong?"

Zeng Linglong's tone was calm.

Xiaoya lowered her head.

"I shouldn't have told Old Liu that Tong Ke is Tie Zhu's girlfriend."

"It's also inappropriate to lead the training team members to play around."

"Shouldn't be?!"

Zeng Linglong's voice suddenly grew louder!

"What's wrong with that?!"

Xiaoya suddenly looked up!

Ye Feng and the others also looked puzzled.

Zeng Linglong walked up to Xiaoya.

He tapped her forehead with his index finger.

"What's wrong with you bringing people there?"

"I'm telling you—"

"Anyone who hurts us or those we care about without cause—"

"We're going to beat him to a pulp!"

"Use simple, brutal methods to destroy it!"

His voice carried a unique air of dominance.

"So, your mistake lies in how you handled things—"

"Not decisive enough!"

"Indecisive!"

"Not ruthless enough!"

"They took 500 training team members with them—"

"Why not just arrest them directly?!"

"We'll prove their crimes then!"

"Anyone who pleads for them, anyone who comes to their rescue—"

"Slap them in the face however you want!"

"Neither Elder Liu nor the General Staff could utter a single 'no'!"

"They'll even get involved themselves, helping Tiezhu and Tong Ke—"

"Suppress these people and their powerful families!"

His gaze swept over everyone.

"And what about you guys—all you do is play!"

"Why are you lingering in the restaurant for so long?!"

"Are you just waiting for the food to be served at the banquet?!"

Xiaoya was stunned by the scolding.

"To an outsider, it's obvious what's going on!"

Zeng Linglong continued.

"How shrewd is Old Liu?"

"If it really was Tie Zhu's girlfriend who got into trouble—"

"You brought so many people with you, and you didn't arrest a single one!"

"They deliberately sent someone to plead for their life, only to slap them in the face and make a fool of them!"

"Are you guys playing house?!"

His voice suddenly rose in pitch.

"Old Mrs. Liu knows your code of conduct very well!"

"Tiezhu's girlfriend was kidnapped and beaten up—"

"Instead of arresting and punishing them, you're just playing around!"

"Old Liu doesn't even need to think to know there's definitely some exaggeration involved!"

He took a deep breath.

"He sent you there with men, to rescue them! To arrest them!"

"This is not a joke! You understand?!"

"The person has been arrested and is in your hands—"

"Play however you want!"

"Isn't this delicious?!"

"Depend on……!"

Wu Lei gave a thumbs up.

"The boss is still the best!"

"What a load of rubbish you're spouting!"

Zeng Linglong glared at him sternly.

Wu Lei blinked.

I dared not speak.

Zeng Linglong looked at Xiaoya again.

"Do you know what your biggest mistake was?"

Xiaoya looked up.

"Who are you?"

Zeng Linglong stared at her.

"You are the divine sparrow!"

"When they're playing around, they even ignore the most basic electronic monitoring."
