"Wife, you've finished bathing too." Zhou Hong looked at the balcony next door and chuckled.
"Hmph, who's your wife? Don't call me that. Don't forget, we're just acting. I don't bother you eating my family's food, and you shouldn't harbor any delusions about me," Qiao Xiaoyu pouted. She didn't know if she was speaking the truth, lies, or just out of anger.
"Heh, don't worry. Whether you like me or not is irrelevant. Just don't affect me eating your family's food," Zhou Hong said with a bitter smile.
"I don't want to talk to you. Seeing you makes me angry." Qiao Xiaoyu turned and returned to her room, closing the balcony door.
However, after returning to her room, she felt a sense of emptiness, as if everything she had said to Zhou Hong wasn't from her heart.
Zhou Hong also returned to his room and turned on the TV, deciding to watch something.
Meanwhile, at Qin Mengxue's home, they were also having dinner.
"Dad, Mom, I have something to tell you," Qin Mengxue suddenly said.
"What is it?" Qin Mengxue's mother, Chen Mei, asked curiously.
"It's about Zhou Hong," Qin Mengxue said softly. She hadn't intended to tell her parents, but after thinking about it, she decided to.
"He's no longer your fiancé, so why talk about him?" Chen Mei snorted slightly.
"He's Xiao Yu's fiancé now. The Qiao family invited him for dinner tonight. Xiao Yu was just talking to us, and I only then realized that Zhou Hong had been hiding his abilities. He's not as useless as he seems. Today in class, he cured a classmate's epilepsy and a teacher's cervical spondylosis. Not only that, but when he returned to the Qiao family, he could also do calligraphy and painting, even Qiao Yu's grandfather admitted defeat to him," Qin Mengxue said in one breath.
Qin Changhui was stunned and asked, "Mengxue, are you saying Zhou Hong knows medicine?"
"I don't know if he knows medicine. Perhaps he just knows a few folk remedies."
"Heh, I thought so." Qin Changhui couldn't help but give a wry smile. As for calligraphy and painting, he didn't pay much attention to it, as it was considered a way to cultivate one's temperament. Sudán Novel Network.
"Mengxue, don't tell me you've changed your impression of him," Chen Mei quickly asked.
"How could that be? He's terrible at school. In just a few days, he became the number one bully in the economics department, and he even harassed a beautiful teacher. Even if he's not that useless, he's still a bad student," Qin Mengxue quickly replied.
"It's good that you know. The boyfriend you'll find in the future won't be like him. Don't worry, with your beauty, you'll definitely find a truly reliable young talent from the martial arts world," Chen Mei said confidently.
"Mom, why are you saying that? People who cultivate martial arts wouldn't possibly fancy an ordinary woman like me. Finding a man like that would just be playing around," Qin Mengxue pouted.
"That's not necessarily true. Talented young martial arts practitioners from wealthy families might not, but those from humble backgrounds with martial arts talent still have a chance. If we can find such a genius for you, and he comes to our home, wouldn't that be a thousand times better than that Zhou Hong?" Chen Mei said with expectation. Although their Qin family had some money, their family's background was worlds apart from the true great families of Jinzhou City, the biggest gap being in martial power. If their family had the power of the martial arts world involved, they would surely soar to new heights and become something different.
Of course, the Qiao family was the same, though they were slightly better off as they had a few low-talent martial arts disciples.
Enough of unnecessary chatter.
At this moment, in Zhou Hong's room.
Zhou Hong was lying on his bed watching TV. Suddenly, an urgent news report was broadcast.
"Dear citizens, the following is an urgent announcement. This evening, another case of a martial arts master raping a woman occurred in Forest Park. Captain Changsun Qinghe of the Criminal Investigation Bureau immediately led a team of detectives to Forest Park. However, the martial arts master was exceptionally powerful. According to the Criminal Investigation Bureau's estimation, the martial arts master might have reached level sixty of the Martial Artist realm. Captain Changsun led eleven team members, but now all eleven members have lost their vital signs, and Captain Changsun's whereabouts are unknown. The situation is extremely urgent. We hope that martial arts experts in Jinzhou City can come to their aid. The following is a report from the scene."
The television screen immediately cut to the outskirts of Forest Park. A cordon had been set up, and many fearless citizens were crowding outside, some even live-streaming with their phones. Many police officers were present to maintain order, preventing any citizens from entering the cordon.
"Hello, officer, can you tell us the situation inside Forest Park?" a reporter asked a police officer.
The police were there to protect ordinary people, so they dared not go in. Matters involving the martial arts world could only be handled by the Criminal Investigation Bureau.
"The situation is not optimistic. Captain Changsun is still missing, and her locator has been destroyed. The eleven members she brought with her have completely lost their vital signs. Captain Changsun's strength is estimated to be around level fifty-five of the Martial Artist realm. And the rapist, who could so easily deal with them, is likely at least level sixty or above. No citizens are allowed to enter Forest Park now. It's likely only the famous martial arts experts of Jinzhou City can venture in to assess the situation."
The reporter then asked, "Have any martial arts experts in Jinzhou City been contacted yet? Or have they contacted the police voluntarily?"
"No, it's been over half an hour, and no martial arts experts from Jinzhou City have responded. I think no one dares to intervene lightly when facing such an unknown enemy," the police officer sighed. If no martial arts experts in Jinzhou City went into Forest Park to investigate, Captain Changsun would be in great danger. Captain Changsun was as beautiful as a celestial being, and the consequences of falling into the hands of that rapist were unimaginable.
"Sister, sob sob sob, Sister, don't stop me, I want to go in!" Just then, a woman's crying could be heard from the news footage.
The television screen immediately switched to the woman. The woman was shouting for her sister and trying to rush in, but she was stopped by the personnel maintaining order at the scene.
Zhou Hong, who was sitting on the bed, frowned as he saw the woman on the TV screen.
"Huh, isn't this the beautiful woman whose butt I spanked in Forest Park that day?" Zhou Hong thought to himself.
"Miss, may I ask who you are?" The reporter immediately stepped forward.
"My name is Changsun Ruoyan, and my sister is Changsun Qinghe. I want to go in and save my sister. Please don't stop me," the woman said, crying.
