Li Qianfan suddenly realized how stupid he was.
If he weren't so stupid, how could he have tried to argue with a girl who was clearly mentally ill about why she claimed to be his aunt?
Never mind.
Considering Zhuang Wujian and Empress Dowager Xiao were increasingly becoming best friends, Li Qianfan reluctantly, pinching his nose, told himself to forget the deep-seated hatred of being pierced through the bones by the little fox.
"Tell me."
Li Qianfan withdrew his hand from pinching Luo Huayin's cheek. "Tell me about that Fan Qingchen."
Seeing Luo Huayin's face twisted into a purple-blue hue, Li Qianfan's pent-up frustration instantly improved.
As early as last night.
Ma Rongna had already told Li Qianfan about Ye Qingfan.
However, what Ma Rongna said was only what she had seen.
But when Luo Huayin and Ye Qingfan engaged in a life-and-death struggle, Ma Rongna hid in the bedroom closet and did not see it.
How high was Ye Qingfan's combat power? Could his fighting style be used to deduce where he came from? That still had to be asked of Luo Huayin.
Upon mentioning Ye Qingfan, Luo Huayin couldn't help but be filled with rage!
Gritting her teeth, she said, "That Fan Qingchen is even more despicable than you. He actually hid a paralyzing poison gas inside the hilt of his saber. Although I was only paralyzed for a moment, I was still ambushed by him! Otherwise, I would have surely flayed him alive, stripped his skin and tendons! And after making a wine cup from his skull and inlaying it with gold, I would have carried it around as a chamber pot."
Li Qianfan—
Alas.
How much did this little fox, whose head was clearly not right, like chamber pots?
Did she mean she wanted to urinate?
Was she reminding me in this way that she couldn't move currently and needed to be taken to the restroom?
When Li Qianfan finally understood, he casually tested Luo Huayin's delicate wrist with his left index finger.
Indeed!
She was enduring.
Enduring with great difficulty.
After all, she had been unconscious since last night and truly needed to go to the bathroom.
"Stop messing around with me."
Luo Huayin couldn't shake her hand, but she could move her mouth.
After reminding Li Qianfan not to touch her inappropriately, she began to recount her fight with Ye Qingfan.
Although this child's head was clearly not right, she was spot-on when describing Ye Qingfan's fighting style.
Without exaggerating or downplaying, she frankly stated that if she hadn't been ambushed and was still seriously injured, she could have killed Ye Qingfan on the spot!
In other words, Ye Qingfan's combat power was not as good as Luo Huayin's, but only slightly inferior.
After all, the little fox was not a normal person; she had been "practicing martial arts" in her mother's womb.
Finally.
She said triumphantly, "Although this little aunt was ambushed by him, I scratched his stinking face! Heh heh, my finger cot contains a special medicine that can corrode bone and muscle. That is to say, even if he undergoes plastic surgery, those scratches will not heal. Without my unique antidote, he will be like this, bleeding, for the rest of his life. Ha, haha."
As soon as she let out a few hearty laughs, she aggravated her injury.
Sharp pain struck—
It hurt so much that her eyes immediately welled up with tears, and she cried out, "You little scumbag, I need to pee!"
Huh?
Are you crying from pain or from holding it in?
"I'll find someone to help you pee."
Li Qianfan shook his head in confusion and got up to leave.
But—
Li Qianfan suddenly remembered that with Su Nanyin's departure, Su Xin had also left, and Gao Lingwang and others were outside searching for the whereabouts of the culprit who devoured the remnants.
At home, there were only him, Luo Huayin, and the unconscious Ma Rongna.
However, judging by Ma Rongna's helplessness, even if she were awake, she wouldn't be able to carry the little fox to the bathroom.
Did he have to hire someone from outside to help Luo Huayin go to the restroom?
Just as Li Qianfan was agonizing over it, Luo Huayin cried out again, "I don't want anyone else to help, only you. You've already defiled my innocent body countless times with your eyes. Do I still care if you carry me to the bathroom? But if you let someone else do it, I'll definitely kill her to silence her once I'm better. Anyone who sees my tail will die."
Damn it.
The little fox made some sense.
"Stop crying!"
Li Qianfan said irritably, and lifted the quilt.
The little fox's fair, bare body was fully revealed.
Luo Huayin, who had stopped shedding tears, quickly reminded him, "Be careful, don't use too much force, or it will hurt me."
"Serves you right for hurting."
Li Qianfan said grumpily, unwrapped the gauze under her right ribs, found a thread, pinched it with his finger, and pulled hard.
Ah!
Luo Huayin immediately screamed and her eyes rolled back.
But before she could faint, she felt the most direct sensation.
After the momentary intense pain, the feeling that made her liver ache even when she laughed heartily disappeared.
She suddenly realized!
The thread Li Qianfan had just pulled out was the culprit that made her lie still and feel excruciating pain with any movement.
Since the little scumbag's head was clearly not right, he had kindly helped her remove the source of her pain.
As long as her liver didn't hurt, the pain from the stab wound alone was nothing to Luo Huayin!
She didn't care at all.
"You little scumbag, how dare you ambush this little aunt!"
As Luo Huayin shouted, she kicked her left foot towards Li Qianfan's head.
*Pa.*
Li Qianfan's left hand lightning-fastly grabbed her ankle, while his right hand grabbed the fluffy white tail and yanked it upwards.
Luo Huayin was thus hung upside down.
Li Qianfan wouldn't indulge her. He raised his hand and spanked her bottom with a series of sharp slaps.
Little scumbag!
I will flay you alive!
I will make your skull—
Luo Huayin struggled desperately, her hoarse curses suddenly stopped.
Then came the tears rolling down.
Li Qianfan looked down at the rapidly wetening bedsheet, also dumbfounded.
But was it his fault?
He had freed Luo Huayin from her restraints with the intention of carrying her to the bathroom.
But it was her unreasonable behavior that made Li Qianfan furious, and he grabbed her fox tail and started spanking her.
He had forgotten that doing so would make the little fox pee!
But—
All right, Li Qianfan silently picked her up in his arms, walked out of the guest room, and into the second bedroom on the second floor.
The bedsheet in the guest room was wet and couldn't be used for the time being.
The second bedroom also had a separate bathroom.
Li Qianfan, like a caring elder brother, washed Luo Huayin from the liver area downwards, and then placed her on the bed.
"Rest well and recover. Get lost as soon as you're healed. Don't appear before me again, or I'll beat you to death."
Li Qianfan said these words with a change of face, then opened the door and left haughtily.
He paid no heed to the little fox's curses about turning his skull into a chamber pot.
Heh.
Clearly, her head was not right!
As Li Qianfan sneered and went downstairs again, Ma Rongna also conveniently woke up with a sigh.
Li Qianfan, looking refined, watched Ma Rongna sit up with one hand supporting herself and said, "Madam, please accept my condolences."
"Thank you, thank you, Mr. Li."
Ma Rongna, with a pale face, slowly got up and walked towards him, asking softly, "Mr. Li, may I sit down?"
Li Qianfan raised his hand and gestured for her to sit, then took out his phone to call Gao Lingwang.
After Ma Rongna sat down, she began to stare blankly.
She remained motionless, tears flowing silently and continuously.
Li Qianfan didn't try to comfort her anymore. He closed his eyes and tapped his fingers lightly on the armrest of the sofa, pondering the little fox's words.
Li Qianfan believed that the little fox's finger cot contained a poison that could corrode muscles for a long time.
She was only resentful that Ye Qingfan had ambushed her with poison gas, but overlooked that her finger cot was also poisoned.
After Ye Qingfan was ambushed and his appearance was disfigured, he should have gone to the hospital.
Both Luo Huayin and Ma Rongna said Ye Qingfan was very handsome.
Handsome men, like beautiful women, were particularly concerned about their appearance.
The courtyard gate opened.
Gao Lingwang and Jing Hongcuo walked in with hurried steps.
Seeing their unshaven faces and haggard appearances, Li Qianfan knew they hadn't rested well for the past few days.
"Sit."
After Li Qianfan asked the two to sit down, he got straight to the point: "I think our search for the culprit who devoured the remnants has overlooked a most important point. That is, the hospital."
He briefly recounted to the two the matter of Ye Qingfan's face and neck being poisoned.
"Good! This will greatly narrow down our search area."
Gao Lingwang was overjoyed upon hearing this and stood up to leave. "I'll go to various hospitals and cosmetic surgery clinics to search for clues about that culprit."
"Wait, I'm not in a hurry."
Li Qianfan shook his head and said, "No matter how urgent we are, we're too few in number. After I visit CEO Chen the day after tomorrow, we'll still have to mobilize the power of Modu."
Gao Lingwang and the other two nodded in agreement. They also felt that their small group searching for the culprit was like finding a needle in a haystack.
Li Qianfan looked at Ma Rongna, then said to Gao Lingwang, "Old Gao, explain to this lady the cause of Zhou Xinkang's death."
Ma Rongna, who had been staring blankly, suddenly trembled and hurriedly raised her head.
She only knew that her deeply loved husband and baby had been brutally murdered.
But she didn't know the cause of death.
With her heart as cold as ashes, she only wanted to follow them.
Now that someone could tell her something related to her husband's death, Ma Rongna's dying heart quickly rallied.
Alas.
Seeing her like this, Li Qianfan sighed inwardly and walked into the kitchen.
It was almost noon.
Old Gao and the others hadn't eaten yet, and more importantly, Li Qianfan himself was hungry, but there was no one to cook.
Helpless, Li Qianfan had to cook himself and skillfully made noodles.
"Impossible!"
Ma Rongna's almost hysterical scream suddenly came from outside the door. "Xinkang, how could he be a scumbag who was outwardly a gentleman but inwardly a lecherous villain?!"
Li Qianfan looked back.
He saw Gao Lingwang taking out his phone and handing it to her.
On the phone were some things Gao Lingwang had investigated about Zhou Xinkang (things he did behind Ma Rongna's back).
Li Qianfan continued to cook noodles.
The noodles were done.
Ma Rongna's heartbroken cries suddenly erupted.
In the face of irrefutable facts, Ma Rongna had to believe that the husband she deeply loved was actually a hypocritical, outwardly respectable but inwardly degenerate villain!
As many as four girls had met their deaths at Zhou Xinkang's hands.
Four corpses, six lives—
"Poor woman."
Li Qianfan shook his head, took out the noodles, and walked out.
He didn't bother with Ma Rongna and Gao Lingwang eating.
After they had eaten their fill, Li Qianfan remembered that the little fox also needed lunch.
Make her noodles again?
Li Qianfan had no time for that!
He found several bags of snacks in a bedroom, pushed open the door of the second bedroom, and threw the snacks in like feeding a dog.
Before the little fox could roar, Li Qianfan closed the door.
Looking down on what you're given!
Who had spoiled her with this bad habit?
As Li Qianfan ambled down the stairs, Ma Rongna finally stopped crying, her face filled with bewilderment.
This was the instinctive reaction after the pillar of her spiritual world had collapsed.
No need to pay attention.
Li Qianfan began to drink tea and chat with Gao Lingwang while smoking.
After a while.
Li Qianfan finally returned to work. "What we need to do now is to find a weakness in the Arc de Triomphe. I really like that place."
Gao Lingwang and Jing Hongcuo were stunned for a moment, then exchanged a quick glance and smiled.
They also liked the Arc de Triomphe very much!
It had a large area, a prime location, and a bird's nest-shaped architectural style, making it trendy and high-end.
Clearly.
When Li Qianfan said he liked the Arc de Triomphe, he meant he wanted to take it down and make it his own property!
Gao Lingwang, Jing Hongcuo, and others would have shares in the Arc de Triomphe.
Wouldn't they be happy?
"Okay."
Gao Lingwang said, "We'll immediately focus our energy on finding the places where the Arc de Triomphe is rife with corruption!"
Ma Rongna, who had been sitting with her head bowed, suddenly looked up.
Her voice hoarse, she said, "I know all the secrets of the Arc de Triomphe."
