"Lou... Lou..."
The moment he saw the newcomer, Feng Shao's face turned ashen, while his less sensible underlings, full of bravado, charged forward.
"Wait, hold on!"
How truly audacious.
Lou Yuming's gaze sharpened. His arm, which held Song Xi, did not loosen its grip. With a swift turn, he kicked one man flying.
His powerful aura struck fear into everyone's hearts, but remembering Feng Shao's methods, they all rallied their courage and pounced like madmen.
Just then, a figure attacked from the right. In a flash, the attackers were all subdued.
The person in his arms stirred restlessly. Lou Yuming lowered his gaze and pulled the blanket covering her head up a little higher.
Shao Cheng clapped his hands. He hadn't moved in a while, and his skills felt rusty.
Shao... Shao Cheng was here too!?
Feng Shao, sweating profusely, was about to explain when Shao Cheng sternly interrupted him.
"Young Master Feng certainly knows how to make an entrance. Does your father know about this? Or has the Feng family lost respect for us?"
"No, no, no!" Feng Shao's lips quivered. "Brother Shao, this has nothing to do with my family. It's a misunderstanding, a complete misunderstanding!"
"A misunderstanding?"
Lou Yuming, who had been silent, spoke softly. With just two words, he effortlessly throttled Feng Shao's throat.
His sharp gaze swept across Feng Shao's face like a blade. Feng Shao's expression remained unchanged, but his subordinates noticed the cold sweat drenching his back.
"...Uncle Lou." Feng Shao swallowed nervously. "This is my fault. I mistook the person. You can hit me or scold me, but please, do not implicate our Feng family."
His pleading look stunned everyone.
When had they ever seen him like this? It turned out, there truly were greater beings in this world.
Seeing Lou Yuming's expressionless face, Feng Shao grew anxious. If Lou Yuming were truly angry, one word from him could ruin the Feng family!
He gritted his teeth and was about to kneel in apology when Shao Cheng suddenly said, "Young Master Feng, I cannot accept that."
At these words, Feng Shao's face turned deathly pale. His legs went weak, and he stumbled to his knees with a thud.
When he looked up again, Shao Cheng and Lou Yuming were already gone, leaving only their retreating backs.
Someone nearby helped Feng Shao up and asked confusedly, "Young Master Feng, who was that? If you fear him so much, why not just go all the way and—"
"Slap!"
Before he could finish, Feng Shao slapped him. "Go all the way? Do you know who that is, you blind idiot! That's Lou Yuming!"
"Lou Yuming!"
Everyone was shocked, clearly recognizing the name.
"It's so late, why would he be here?"
Feng Shao slapped the man again. "How should I know! I saw him holding a woman, all bundled up. Could it be Song Xi?"
"No way?"
Feng Shao glanced at him and delivered two more unexpected slaps. "Of course not! How could Uncle Lou's taste extend to that kind of woman! But I heard from Zhang Qi that he dislikes women, so why is he with a woman this late, and Brother Shao is here too. Could these three be..."
As he spoke, a lewd glint appeared in Feng Shao's eyes.
"Two men in their thirties, playing such wild games."
The others also chuckled meaningfully.
Feng Shao declared, "We'll wait outside today. After she drinks that wine, she won't be able to hold out. Then I'll let her taste what this young master is like! I'll make her wish she were dead!"
"Yes!"
Meanwhile, before they even reached Yunji Hospital, Song Xi started to feel unwell.
Her entire body was flushed, her fever was high, and she kept complaining of heat.
Lou Yuming's expression darkened, and he had a rough idea of what was happening.
"Hot..."
She suddenly lunged forward, wrapping her arms around Lou Yuming's neck.
