Yang Fei softened at the sight of Tong Yunshu’s yearning gaze.
Honestly, he had really been afraid to be alone with Tong Yunshu before.
Of course, any man would look forward to being alone with such a stunning beauty, but at the same time, Yang Fei was truly afraid of being alone with her. Even when she wasn’t trying to seduce you, the occasional inadvertent display of her charming femininity could make your heart skip a beat and leave you unable to extricate yourself.
So, Yang Fei’s attitude towards Tong Yunshu was to avoid being alone with her as much as possible.
Today was an exception, and after helping her expel the poison, Yang Fei stayed because he was worried that Tong Jianzhou would target her again.
Now that she had woken up, Yang Fei felt that it was inappropriate for a single man and a single woman to be in a room together and it wouldn’t look good if word got out, so he decided to leave.
But he didn’t expect Tong Yunshu to ask him to stay, showing such a pitiable expression.
Seeing her , Yang Fei instinctively wanted to nod and agree, to say that he wouldn’t leave, but when the words reached his lips, they changed into, "I won’t go just yet, You call your people to come over. When they arrive, I’ll leave."
Seeing Yang Fei say this, Tong Yunshu felt a little aggrieved, but still went back to her room to get her phone.
Yang Fei breathed a sigh of relief.
After a while, Tong Yunshu came back, her face stained with tears. Looking at Yang Fei, she said, "Uncle Zhou is dead, Qin Hu has been beaten and left crippled outside, I... I have no one I can trust here anymore."
As she spoke, she cried, "It’s all my fault, I’ve brought trouble to Uncle Zhou, to Qin Hu. Tong Jianzhou should have been coming after me."
Yang Fei had heard about Zhou Chun’s incident when he called Zhang Long, but he was unaware of what happened to Qin Hu.
Now hearing that Qin Hu’s limbs had been crippled, he couldn’t help but frown.
He did have some impression of Qin Hu, a loyal follower of Tong Yunshu. Now that he had been crippled, it was indeed quite tragic.
But what happened to Zhou Chun was even more tragic.
"Alas, nothing is more unfeeling than the struggles of an aristocratic family. The Xu Family is , and I didn’t expect your Tong Family to be the same. For power and profit, you will resort to anything," Yang Fei lamented.
He actually felt somewhat relieved that he was born into a poor family where brothers were respectful and supportive of each other, and even cousins could support one another rather than engage in such ruthless scheming.
Tong Yunshu was clearly scared by what had happened this time.
Although she had some tactics in business and was decisive in her actions, this was the first time she faced something .
Moreover, although she knew Tong Jianzhou had something against her, she never imagined he would be so bold and maniacal to go this far against her.
Considering that the Tong Family had strict family rules, if Tong Jianzhou’s actions were to leak out, he wouldn’t end well either.
"So, can you call your parents, or your grandfather?" Yang Fei asked.
Although Tong Yunshu was shocked, she quickly adjusted her mindset, pausing to answer calmly, "Calling them is useless. I need to find solid evidence and return home with it to confront Tong Jianzhou."
Yang Fei spoke up, "I captured two people for you."
Tong Yunshu’s eyes brightened, "Sun Kangnian?"
"Yes, he confessed everything, said it was Tong Jianzhou who ordered him to do this," Yang Fei relayed the information he got from Sun Kangnian through Zhang Long, adding, "There’s also someone from the assassin organization. Zhou Chun died at their hands."
Tong Yunshu was overjoyed and said, "With these two people, I can deal with Tong Jianzhou." Then looking up at Yang Fei, she said with a plea, "But how can I, a weak woman, take these two people back home? Can’t you help me out?"
Seeing her pitiful appearance, Yang Fei’s heart was moved with compassion, but he understood that this was someone’s family affair and getting involved would only lead to trouble.
Suddenly, an idea struck him and he said, "How about this, call your eldest uncle and ask for help from the Zhu Family."
The Zhu Family was a Martial Arts Family with many Inner Strength martial artists, and Zhu Chengyou was even an expert at the Energy Transformation Seventh Rank. With the Zhu Family’s help, Tong Yunshu would be safe.
A look of disappointment crossed Tong Yunshu’s eyes.
She meant she did not want to rely on the Zhu family’s power.
After all, it was an internal struggle among the young people of the Tong Family, and once the power of her maternal grandfather’s family was borrowed, it became a different matter.
But from Yang Fei’s attitude, it seemed he was reluctant to help her again.
She glanced at Yang Fei with a somewhat resentful and pitiful look, saying, "Mr. Yang, are you really unwilling to help this young woman? If you help me this time, Yun Shu will surely repay you well in the future."
Yang Fei’s heart raced uncontrollably, although Tong Yunshu had said ’repay you well’, he somehow felt as if she had said ’repay you with my body’.
This woman was truly a siren.
Seeing her pitiful and hopeful appearance, coupled with her past assistance to him, Yang Fei found himself unable to refuse her any longer.
After some thought, he said, "Well, before your uncle’s people arrive, I’ll stay to protect you and ensure that you won’t get hurt."
Tong Yunshu saw that he still had not agreed to help her, and felt a bit displeased, but she also knew that this was the only option for now.
One must proceed step by step.
Sometimes, pushing too hard can backfire.
Having experienced such a drastic change, Tong Yunshu had no mood to tease Yang Fei and returned to her own room.
Since Yang Fei promised to protect her, he had no choice but to stay.
The night passed without words, and the next morning, while Yang Fei was still meditating, he heard a knock at the door.
He stood up and went to the living room, only to see that Tong Yunshu had already gone to answer it.
It was hotel staff, delivering a new set of clothes.
Realizing that her actions had woken Yang Fei, Tong Yunshu said apologetically, "Sorry for waking you up."
Yang Fei shook his head: "I am a martial artist with very little need for sleep, it’s fine."
Tong Yunshu said, "I’ll go change clothes. My uncle is already on his way here, so I’ll trouble you to protect me for a few more hours."
Yang Fei, smiling, said, "Hmm, I will wait for your uncle to arrive before I leave."
Tong Yunshu didn’t look very well, but she had already regained her usual efficiency. She nodded and went back to her room to wash up and change clothes.
After a while, she came out neatly dressed and asked, "Mr. Yang, are you really not considering helping me?"
Yang Fei gave a wry smile: "This is an internal affair of your Tong family; it wouldn’t be appropriate for me to intervene, would it?"
Tong Yunshu smiled faintly and said, "By saving me yesterday and capturing Sun Kangnian and that assassin, you’ve already stepped into these muddy waters. Tong Jianzhou and my second uncle’s family will surely hold a grudge against you. If you don’t help me completely crush their family, they will certainly seek revenge on you in the future. So let’s work together."
Yang Fei frowned slightly, knowing that what Tong Yunshu said was true, but he was a man of clear debts of gratitude and grievances. As the other party had not yet harbored direct animosity against him, he would not take action, and said, "If your cousin truly harbors ill will against me and comes after me, then I will deal with him when the time comes."

Tong Yunshu looked at him and said, "Nipping dangers in the bud is the choice of the wise."
In the past, Tong Yunshu had been curious about the succession to the Tong family, but she didn’t feel compelled to seize it, as being a daughter, she thought it was fine for Tong Jianzhou to take over the family business.
However, Tong Jianzhou’s actions this time had completely infuriated her.
Such a person did not deserve to be the head of the Tong family.
If Yun Shu was to fight, since she had decided to fight, she had to strike decisively, ensuring her opponent would never have the chance to rise again.
Therefore, Tong Yunshu placed great importance on Yang Fei and really wanted to pull him into her camp.
