Just as Jian He's despair was reaching its peak, the door to the small two-bedroom apartment was suddenly flung open with a bang.

Immediately afterwards, several people rushed into the house. Jian He opened her eyes groggily and saw Zuo Feng rushing into the house nervously.

When Zuo Feng saw Hei Zi preparing to attack Jian He, he grabbed Hei Zi without saying a word and punched him in the face.

Then, Zuo Feng yelled at Hei Zi, "Damn it, don't you want to work here anymore? How dare you touch my men?"

Just as Hei Zi was about to resist, Zuo Feng gave him a look, and the bodyguard behind him grabbed a gun and pressed it directly against Hei Zi's head.

The capital city is a place of great turmoil and fierce competition, a place where all sorts of powerful figures clash. But to be able to hold a gun to someone's head in such a place, one must imagine how distinguished one's status must be.

Kuroko and his men were terrified.

Taking advantage of the situation, Zuo Feng took off his suit jacket and wrapped it around Jian He. Then, he half-supported Jian He's body, protecting her.

Hei Zi was unwilling to let the food he was about to eat be snatched away, and he asked Zuo Feng angrily.

"Who are you? Why are you meddling in this? We brothers just want to have some fun."

Upon hearing Hei Zi's words, Zuo Feng, without saying a word, punched Hei Zi on the head again.

He cursed, "Have a laugh? Why the hell do you love having a laugh so much? If you really want to have a laugh, why don't you go find your mother to have a laugh?"

"You ask who I am? Tell him who I am..."

After Zuo Feng finished speaking, his bodyguard said directly to Hei Zi, "This is the owner of our Tianguan KTV. Brother, find out who our boss is before asking such a stupid question."

"Our boss is notoriously protective of his own. If you dare to mess with any of Tianguan's employees, you'd better see if you can take the heat."

The words "Tian Guan KTV" silenced the critic instantly. He was too low-level to understand Zuo Feng's identity. He only knew that the owner of Tian Guan was a big shot whom even their boss couldn't afford to offend.

Hei Zi shut his mouth, not daring to ask any more questions.

Zuo Feng glanced coldly at the group and ordered his men, "Beat them up, then take them all back and let their boss come talk to me."

After Zuo Feng finished speaking, he helped Jian He out of the small two-bedroom apartment.

By now, it was already bright outside.

As Zuo Feng helped Jian He downstairs, a man wearing a baseball cap was watching everything intently from inside a car not far away.

After seeing Zuo Feng safely bring Jian He down, the car quickly drove away.

Within minutes, Zuo Feng received a mysterious message: "Consider this a favor I owe you. Thank you."

Zuo Feng received the message, his expression dark and unreadable. Even a stepbrother is still a brother. After all these years, this was the first time Cheng Yan had said he owed him a favor.

I have to say, it felt really good to be indebted to him.

Zuo Feng helped Jian He into his car.

After getting in the car, Zuo Feng immediately became concerned about Jian He, asking, "Are you feeling unwell? Are you injured?"

Jian He shook her head: "She should be fine, but she was slapped a few times and is feeling really dizzy right now. She'll probably need some time to recover."

Zuo Feng then asked, "Do we need to go to the hospital?"

Jian He replied, "No need, I'll rest for a few minutes."

"Okay, let me know in advance if you need to go to the hospital. It's not safe here, let's leave first."

After Zuo Feng finished speaking, he got into the driver's seat, stepped on the gas, and drove out of the dilapidated neighborhood.

After a period of calm, Jian He gradually returned to normal.

She thanked Zuo Feng, "Mr. Zuo, thank you. I never expected that you would risk your life to save me."

As Zuo Feng drove, he replied, "Cheng Yan informed me beforehand, otherwise how would I have known where you were? You don't need to thank me, Cheng Yan has already thanked me."

Upon hearing Cheng Yan's name, Jian He couldn't help but shed tears.

She took a breath and said, "Okay, I understand."

Seeing that Jian He was in low spirits, Zuo Feng said, "Because of some things at Cheng Yan's work, you have been noticed by some people, and I have to make some new arrangements for you."

“From now on, you can no longer go back to the Jian family, because I’m afraid they’ll shift their attention to your family.”

"I've prepared a house for you. You can stay here for now and leave after Cheng Yan has finished dealing with his business."

Having witnessed the dangers of these events, Jian He naturally knew that Zuo Feng's current arrangement was the most appropriate one. Having no other choice, she could only agree.

"Okay, thank you, Mr. Zuo."

An hour later, Zuo Feng brought Jian He to a large, single-level apartment with very strict security measures. After dropping Jian He off, Zuo Feng told her the details of the situation.

"For the next few days, you should stay here and not go out. The house is equipped with all kinds of electronic products, and I even had a new mobile phone specially made and placed here."

"I'll have someone deliver your meals regularly. Just stay here and let your family know you're safe. I'm leaving now."

Zuo Feng left quickly, and after confirming that she was safe, Jian He sat heavily on the sofa in the room.

She instinctively reached for her phone and called Mason first.

“Uncle Mai, I’ve run into some tricky things and I probably won’t be able to go home for the next few days. To avoid worrying my dad, just tell him I’m on a business trip.”

"I'm entrusting Ruibao and my dad to you, Uncle Mai. Please be careful in everything you do."

On the other end of the phone, Mason replied, "Miss, please don't worry about what you're doing. I'll handle whatever you asked me to do."

After hanging up Jian He's call, Maison went to Rui Bao's bedroom.

At this moment, Ruibao, who is already at school time, is typing away on his laptop.

Seeing how engrossed he was, Mason couldn't help but frown.

“Ruibao, it’s time for school. Grandpa Mai will take you to school first, and then go to work.”

Hearing what Mason said, Ruibao breathed a long sigh of relief and put down his computer.

He said, "Okay, Grandpa Mai, let's go now."

After getting Ruibao into the car, Mason encountered Jian Qingshan, who was exercising in the garden.

Jian Qingshan casually asked Maison, "Maison, is the work pressure at the company high lately? Miss seems to be very busy."

"She went out last night and hasn't come back yet. What has she been busy with?"

Mason coughed lightly and said, "Mr. Jian, Miss had some urgent business to attend to, and she had to catch a flight last night to go on a business trip..."
