My father's inheritance is my mortal enemy.

Zhou Yanshao held onto Li Bo's hand tightly, saying, "I'll be in the same car as you."

"It's alright. It's not easy for Master Wan to come all the way to the capital. You two should have a good chat."

Li Bo withdrew his hand. Wan Gong was known for doting on his only grandson. Now that Zhou Yanshao was injured, even if he was not in the country, judging from the situation, he must have found out the whole story.

Zhou Yanshao wouldn't have been injured if he hadn't been saving him.

Wan Gong must have held a grudge against him, but he didn't retaliate because Zhou Yanshao was present. If Li Bo were to be so tactless as to delay their reunion, then his offense would be compounded.

Zhou Yanshao's injured hand rested on Li Bo's waist, and Li Bo's movement of stepping back and walking away immediately stopped.

He looked up at Zhou Yanshao.

Zhou Yanshao looked at Wan Zhong, his attitude resolute: "Grandpa, let's go."

Wan Zhong didn't speak, his gaze fixed on Zhou Yanshao's injured hand, and walked ahead.

Li Bo didn't dare to move. He raised his hand to grasp the wrist on his waist and lowered it, saying, "Be careful of the wound."

Zhou Yanshao looked down at him, his eyes threatening: "You'd better listen to me."

Li Bo had no choice but to get into the car with Zhou Yanshao.

Uncle Xiang watched Li Bo get into the car with a livid face.

Last night, after receiving a phone call, Li Bo's father, the head of the Li family, went to Australia overnight. This morning, Li Bo took Zhou Yanshao back to Beijing by plane, clearly intending to bring Zhou Yanshao into the Li family's power struggle.

Although Zhou Yanshao was injured by Li Cheng, the blame was still placed on Li Bo.

Uncle Xiang had long ago reminded Li Bo to send Zhou Yanshao back, but Li Bo did not do so, which is why he moved Wan Gong to the capital.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Li Bo's father, Li Yao, has already landed on the Australian island and received Li Cheng's body. When Li Yao returns, the capital will be engulfed in another bloodbath, and Zhou Yanshao must not be drawn into this conflict.

……

It was very cold in Beijing. The car drove from the airport to Wanru Mansion, and it started snowing before we even arrived. It was raining and snowing at the same time.

On the bus, Wan Gong didn't reprimand Li Bo, but only inquired about Zhou Yanshao's injury. Li Bo gave a general explanation, saying that whether it would affect his skiing would depend on his recovery.

Wan Gong nodded gravely, instructing Zhou Yanshao to stay at Wanru Mansion to recuperate, and arranged for a doctor to be hired for him.

After the car came to a stop, the driver came to pick me up with an umbrella.

Li Bo sat in the front passenger seat, opened the car door, and Zhou Yanshao held an umbrella in one hand, which was placed over Li Bo's head, and led him into Wanru Mansion.

It was lunchtime, and the three of them ate with Uncle Xiang.

The atmosphere at the dinner table was somewhat heavy, and Li Bo didn't eat much.

After they finished eating, Lord Wan asked Zhou Yanshao to go to his study. Zhou Yanshao looked at Li Bo, and Lord Wan scolded him, "Do you think someone would barge into the Wan Mansion, drag him out, and eat him?"

Wan Gong had a rare outburst like this.

Zhou Yanshao went back to China, but he didn't even come to pay his respects. He chased after Li Bo to Australia, got injured, and even had surgery! Now he's protecting Li Bo, as if he's afraid Li Bo will be bullied by someone!

Wan Gong had watched Zhou Yanshao grow up; how could he not know what Zhou Yanshao was thinking?

Zhou Yanshao insisted on bringing Li Bo back, simply to show the world that Li Bo was a member of the Zhou family, a member of the Wan family, and his person. Even if the Li family wanted to punish him, they would have to think twice.

After all, Li Cheng had injured the Zhou family and offended both the Wan and Zhou families. If he were to take action against Li Bo as well, it would be disregarding the peace that the three families had maintained on the surface for many years.

Zhou Yanshao raised his chin. "Don't run around."

Wan Gong was furious: "He won't run around, but you've got legs and you're running all over the place!"

The old man was really angry.

Zhou Yanshao and Wan Gong went up to the study on the second floor. As soon as Wan Gong left, Uncle Xiang started to criticize: "Yanshao will return to Northern Europe sooner or later. You won't be able to use this shield for long."

Uncle Xiang knew very well that Zhou Yanshao was a man of great loyalty, but Zhou Yanshao was, after all, an athlete who still had to prepare for competitions. Even if he was injured, his return would only be delayed by a week or two at most, and he would eventually return to Northern Europe.

Zhou Yanshao could save Li Bo temporarily, but not permanently.

Li Bo will not have a savior.

Uncle Xiang's words were a reminder to Li Bo to see the current situation clearly, forcing Li Bo to take responsibility alone and not to try to drag Zhou Yanshao into it.

Only after Li Bo broke ties with the Li family and handed over the Zhou family's shares to Li Bo could Uncle Xiang feel at ease.

Li Bo smiled calmly: "Uncle Xiang is joking. Yan Shao can also stay for me."

Uncle Xiang's face darkened: "What do you mean?!"

Li Bo looked at Uncle Xiang, looking every bit the cunning old fox, and said, "I'm really not a man of my word. What I want to do, and what I don't want to do, no one can force me."

Li Bo's words were quite profound.

Li Bo may not necessarily abide by Zhou Huiyuan's will. What he wants to do now depends on his conscience and his feelings.

Li Bo did not want Uncle Xiang to interfere too much in what he was doing; otherwise, he would have asked Yan Shao to stay in the capital for him.

Keeping Zhou Yanshao in the capital was not a difficult task for Li Bo.

Li Bo was threatening Uncle Xiang.

Uncle Xiang didn't dare to gamble, but stood up with a cold face and chuckled twice: "I don't know why the Zhou family would choose an ingrate like you."

After saying that, Uncle Xiang stormed off in a huff.

Li Bo continued drinking his tea nonchalantly. After about ten minutes, Wan Gong came out with a livid face and a furious expression. As soon as he came out, he met Li Bo's gaze. Their eyes met, and Wan Gong's eyes were blazing with anger. He seemed about to say something but then stopped himself.

"Grandpa, don't be mean to him." Zhou Yanshao came downstairs in a nonchalant manner.

Wanzhong: "…………"

This time, Wan Gong was so angry he almost fainted. He bit his cheek and swallowed his words back, squeezing out a "humph" from his nose. The old man walked away angrily in the pouring rain, without even opening his umbrella.

Zhou Yanshao narrowed his eyes and said to the butler, "See Grandpa out."

The butler rushed forward with an umbrella, held it for Wan Zhong, and escorted him out of Wanru Mansion.

Seeing this, Li Bo said, "Master Wan is getting old, getting soaked in the rain like this..."

Zhou Yanshao shrugged: "The old man is in better health than you."

Li Bo took a slight breath: "What did you say? What made Master Wan so angry?"

"He didn't say anything." Zhou Yanshao picked up the black umbrella he had brought with him when he entered, opened it, and gestured for Li Bo to come over.

Li Bo asked, "Where to?"

"I'm going back to Xizi Bay. The old man probably won't want to see me for a while. I won't be in his way here and make him angry."

Zhou Yanshao glanced at Li Bo under the umbrella, then looked up at the rain outside the door. "Stand closer. If you get sick, I won't be able to take care of you right now."

Li Bo moved closer to Zhou Yanshao.

Zhou Yanshao was dissatisfied: "Is this what you call close?"

Li Bo stood closer again, but there was nowhere left to get close.

Zhou Yanshao was still not satisfied. Wasn't he being considered close even without being pulled closer? He urged, "Closer."

Li Bo looked up and said angrily, "Why don't you...?"

Zhou Yanshao raised an eyebrow: "Okay, I'll satisfy you when we get home."

"..." Li Bo left in the rain.

Zhou Yanshao caught up in two steps, hooked the umbrella around Li Bo's neck, and held the umbrella over Li Bo's head, forcing Li Bo to slow down, and snorted, "You have quite the temper."

Li Bo looked down at Zhou Yanshao's injured hand, "I'll get you a doctor to come to Xizi Bay."

Li Bo used his connections to get a doctor for Zhou Yanshao to stay in Xizi Bay. When the doctor disinfected Zhou Yanshao's wound, he could see the white flesh underneath, which horrified Li Bo.

Fine beads of sweat appeared on Zhou Yanshao's forehead.

The doctor cautioned, "It will hurt a little, young master, please bear with it."

Zhou Yanshao said casually, "It's nothing."

The doctor applied a dressing to Zhou Yanshao and immobilized him: "Be careful not to move your hand too much. It doesn't look like it will get infected at the moment. Be careful not to bump it again."

Li Bo nodded: "Okay."

He followed the doctor out of the bedroom and downstairs, poured the doctor a glass of water, and asked, "Will this affect my skiing?"
