"Xiao Fengchun, you don't understand. This building is my life's work. How could I possibly let these strangers search my building?"
Ku Teng explained very seriously, "These people are all after their own interests. If I really let them search, they might not find the treasure map, but they'll likely steal other things from me."
"That's why, no matter what, I will not give them a chance to set foot in my Chongtian Tower."
"Then what happened to them? Uncle didn't kill them all, did he? If so, you've gone against my father's orders. My father absolutely forbade you from causing trouble in Huaxia," Zao Ri Fengchun continued.
"Of course, I know Big Brother's orders. I didn't kill them. I suppressed them again with force, told them not to cause trouble anymore, and let them all go," Ku Teng stated directly.
"That's good. Uncle is a bit tired from running around today and doesn't want to go look at antiques with you. How about we go another day?"
Zao Ri Fengchun had no interest in accompanying Ku Teng to browse antiques and said directly.
Ku Teng felt Zao Ri Fengchun was acting very strangely but didn't say much. After a few seconds, a smile appeared on his face as he said, "Alright then, I'll have someone escort you back to rest. If you want to see them anytime, I'll pick you up again."
"Got it."
After Zao Ri Fengchun finished speaking, she turned and walked directly outside.
Once she was out of sight, Ku Teng remained filled with doubt. Finally, he waved his hand, letting a subordinate come in, and asked seriously, "Where has Fengchun been just now?"
"Mr. Ku Teng, it was too chaotic in the building earlier, and none of us noticed Miss Fengchun's movements. We don't know where she went," the subordinate shook his head and said.
"You don't know?"
Ku Teng's eyes deepened. After thinking for a moment, he waved his hand, dismissing the subordinate.
Immediately, Ku Teng was filled with confusion: What exactly has this little Fengchun been through? She was so enthusiastic when she came earlier, but now she's like a wilted flower. What could be the reason?
Late at night, the sky outside was pitch black!
Li Yang drove home alone and took out the three pieces of treasure map he had obtained, piecing them together.
He discovered that these three pieces of treasure map could be connected perfectly. However, according to the ancient texts, all seven pieces needed to be joined together to reveal the location of the treasure.
Each of these three treasure maps had a marking point, and there was also a thick line connecting them. It was likely that this thick line represented the main route of the treasure map.
Now, four more pieces of the treasure map were needed to find the treasure. After carefully examining them, Li Yang memorized all the locations on the maps, then put them away and hid them secretly.
He had been busy and tired all day and needed to rest. He headed straight to the bathroom to shower and then returned to his room to sleep.
Unexpectedly, just as he lay down, the doorbell rang, piquing his curiosity.
Who would come to see me at this hour?
He slowly got up and walked out, opening the door to find Zhou Yi. She looked completely drunk and couldn't even stand steadily.
Li Yang quickly stepped forward to support her, brought her inside, and helped her to the sofa in the living room.
"Zhou Yi, why are you so drunk? Who were you drinking with tonight?"
Li Yang was very curious. He had clearly asked Zhou Yi to work at the antique shop long ago. By rights, she should have been sleeping at home by now and shouldn't have gone out drinking.
"Heh heh, Li Yang, let's drink more. I still want to drink. You got me drunk, then sleep with me. I want to be your woman, for you to possess my body forever."
Zhou Yi's cheeks were as red as apples. Staring at Li Yang, she leaned towards him involuntarily.
Li Yang, who was not a stranger to her, held her tightly and continued to ask, "Zhou Yi, what's wrong? Did something happen to you?"
"Yes, he's back. That heartless man is back. Li Yang, I don't want to be with him. I only like you. Take me, and once you take me, I can completely make him give up."
Zhou Yi said with a smile, hugging Li Yang tightly and kissing him.
Her breath smelled of alcohol, but it didn't diminish her allure.
As Li Yang kissed her, his mind gradually emptied, but he didn't fully understand what she had said earlier.
She said a heartless man was back. Where did this heartless man come from?
The last time Li Yang was intimate with her, it was clearly her first time.
"Zhou Yi, sober up first and explain things to me clearly. If you're in trouble, I will definitely do my best to help you."
Li Yang came to his senses and persuaded Zhou Yi.
"You can't help me. That heartless man is the young master of the largest gambling stone market in Xiangjiang. He can cover the sky with one hand. Any woman he desires, he can obtain."
Zhou Yi shook her head, her face flushed, and explained. However, due to her extreme intoxication, her entire body's weight was pressing down on Li Yang.
Seeing that she couldn't speak clearly, Li Yang settled her on the sofa first, then went to the kitchen to make her some hangover soup, brought it over, and fed it to her.
After she drank it, in a short while, her complexion gradually returned to its original fair and tender state, and her consciousness became much clearer than before.
"Zhou Yi, how are you feeling? Is your body still uncomfortable?" Li Yang asked, putting down the bowl and looking at her with concern.
"Li Yang? Why am I here? Where is this?" Zhou Yi touched her head and gradually sat up, looking around curiously.
"This is my home. You were drunk earlier and knocked on my door, so I brought you in," Li Yang explained.
"Is that so?"
Zhou Yi felt a headache. After recalling carefully, she gradually remembered that she had encountered something unhappy tonight and went to get drunk alone.
But when she was drunk, several young men with dyed hair came to harass her. Out of fear, she left the bar and ended up wandering here.
She looked at Li Yang awkwardly and said, "Li Yang, I'm sorry. I was indeed too drunk tonight, and I must have disturbed your rest."
"It's nothing. You mentioned something about a heartless man when you were drunk. What exactly happened? Was it someone you dated before?" Li Yang asked seriously, seeing that she was no longer drunk.
"I, I mentioned him?"
Zhou Yi's face instantly turned shyly red, and her eyes dared not meet Li Yang's gaze, unsure of what she had said while drunk.
After a moment, she regained her composure and timidly continued, "It's nothing, really. I can handle this myself."
"Li Yang, my coming to find you tonight was an accident. If you don't mind, I'll stay here for the night. If you do mind, I'll leave now."
