Ning Yanshan slaps his granddaughter Ning Qianqian for her cruel treatment of Gao Yuan. Su Changfeng rescues Gao Yuan, revealing the extent of her torture, which deeply angers him and worries Ning Yanshan about implicating the Ning family. Ning Yanshan, fearing Su Changfeng's mysterious backing and influence, declares he cannot protect Ning Qianqian from Su Changfeng's wrath. Su Changfeng takes Gao Yuan to the hospital, where she is treated and he assures her of continued care.

Gao Yuan knew just how heartless Su Changfeng could be, so even faced with such a situation, she never considered putting on a pitiful act in front of him.

Gao Yuan looked at Su Changfeng and asked, "Does her treatment of me have anything to do with you?"

Su Changfeng nodded and did not hide anything, saying, "Yes, the reason you’re encountering these troubles is because of me."

"So whatever you want me to do for you, it’s not a problem; consider it my compensation to you."

These words from Su Changfeng carried a clear sense of detachment, and Gao Yuan understood he was doing it intentionally.

After all, Su Changfeng had previously made it very clear that they had no relationship at all; rescuing her was merely a coincidence.

Even though this made Gao Yuan feel sad, she knew that no matter what happened, Su Changfeng’s firm stance wouldn’t change because of her.

Thus, Gao Yuan shook her head and said, "No need, I won’t ask you to do anything, so you won’t always feel you owe me."

"But I won’t always remember this matter, so I don’t feel guilty toward you. This is still a good opportunity."

"If you give up this chance, it means you can’t obtain anything. From my perspective, it’s not a big deal." Su Changfeng said indifferently.

These words made Gao Yuan even more disappointed, as she hadn’t expected Su Changfeng to be so cruel.

"You should go," Gao Yuan said.

"Then take care," Su Changfeng replied and left.

This made Gao Yuan feel as if she imagined seeing Su Changfeng, since she couldn’t believe he left just like that.

In Su Changfeng’s eyes, the situation wasn’t too bad, as Gao Yuan’s life wasn’t threatened and she had only suffered superficial injuries.

Regarding this, Su Changfeng considered compensating Gao Yuan through Zhou Yunqi, even if money couldn’t resolve everything.

But for these matters, Su Changfeng felt giving money was a decent choice.

Because Su Changfeng couldn’t give Gao Yuan the affection she wanted.

When Su Changfeng reached the entrance, he saw Zhou Yunqi bringing a woman, presumably a caretaker for Gao Yuan.

Su Changfeng provided the address to the caretaker, who then left.

Now, Zhou Yunqi finally looked at Su Changfeng and asked, "What’s going on here?"

"Do you know Ning Qianqian?"

"Yes, of course, she’s quite spoiled and wild, since she has the Ning Family backing her, and her actions aren’t great," Zhou Yunqi nodded and said.

"Due to this competition, I defeated Ning Qianqian’s idol Yan Bingfeng, which displeased her, leading her to abduct and torture Gao Yuan." Su Changfeng shrugged.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yunqi felt a moment of glee, as it meant the Ning Family had offended Su Changfeng.

Although in Ning Yanshan’s eyes this wasn’t a good thing, for Zhou Yunqi, it was very advantageous.

Because Zhou Wang had been worried that if Su Changfeng collaborated with Ning Yanshan, the Ning Family would become their enemy.

But now it seemed impossible for Su Changfeng and Ning Yanshan to have a good relationship.

So Zhou Yunqi looked at Su Changfeng and asked, "What do you want to do then?"

"I just want you to compensate Gao Yuan; the rest doesn’t need your interference," Su Changfeng said.

Zhou Yunqi felt a bit disappointed, since he thought if Su Changfeng went to trouble the Ning Family, he could join and watch Ning Yanshan’s reaction.

But since Su Changfeng had stated his disinterest in involvement, Zhou Yunqi had to comply.

"Alright, understood, I’ll ensure Gao Yuan is compensated," Zhou Yunqi nodded.

"Okay, I’ll be leaving then," Su Changfeng said.

"Wait," Zhou Yunqi suddenly said, "I’ve heard your competition seems to have shifted a bit; the Martial Arts Competition organizers may have arranged an opponent for you."

"Even though this person didn’t register before, I’m worried it’s intentional trouble for you," Zhou Yunqi said, though this information came from an insider and hadn’t been disclosed yet.

Even so, Zhou Yunqi felt he should inform Su Changfeng.

"I see," Su Changfeng replied, unfazed by these developments.

After all, Shangguan Sichen had arrived but hadn’t met him, clearly wanting to gauge his strength.

Though people here talked about his matches, it was crucial to witness them firsthand.

Zhou Yunqi was confused by Su Changfeng’s lack of shock, asking, "Do you know who this person is?"

"I have a general idea, but your Zhou Family shouldn’t get involved, as you can’t afford to offend this person," Su Changfeng nodded.

His words made Zhou Yunqi’s heart skip a beat, knowing Su Changfeng wasn’t lying, he quickly responded.

"Alright, I’ll inform my grandfather, and our Zhou Family won’t intervene this time," Zhou Yunqi nodded.

After Su Changfeng left, Zhou Yunqi returned home.

Zhou Wang was surprised by the news, his expression becoming more stern.

Previously, Zhou Wang suspected Su Changfeng was more than just a Ye Family heir but had no proof of other identities.

But now Su Changfeng’s words provided a subtle clue.
