Zhang Xin came to visit Qin Chuan because he was convinced that Qin Chuan was unable to let go of his obsession with Jian Yiling. If that were the case, there was a possibility that Qin Chuan might be willing to help him.

Qin Chuan did not give a direct answer to Zhang Xin's question. Instead, he said: "I know you're unwilling to accept your loss. However, if you dare to hurt her, I won't forgive you."

When he heard this, Zhang Xin laughed: "Qin Chuan, who do you think you are? Do you still think you hold power or something? You know, even when you were the head of the Qin family, you were still nothing to me. The Qin family is nothing compared to the eight reclusive families."

Despite hearing this, Qin Chuan replied calmly and indifferently: "I know you're speaking the truth and I know how terrifying the reclusive families are. However, that does not change my thoughts."

Even if it was a futile attempt, Qin Chuan refused to back off.

"And why exactly do you even still try? Everyone in Beijing already knows how useless and hopeless you are. Jian Yiling and Zhai Yunsheng barely put any effort into dealing with you. Originally, I wanted to help you because of our past friendship. I was willing to give you a chance to seek revenge on them. However, it seems like I overestimated you. You're nothing but a coward."

After being rejected by Qin Chuan, Zhang Xin decided to mock Qin Chuan.

Then, he turned away with a look of disdain on his face.

Qin Chuan did not get angry with Zhang Xin. Instead, he sent a message to Qin Yufan. He asked Qin Yufan to tell Jian Yiling that Zhang Xin was still thinking of ways to cause her trouble. This time, he involved the Nine Dragons Association which hadn't united together for many decades.

As the name implied, the Nine Dragons Association once consisted of nine families.

The Xie family was once the head of the association. However, after they disappeared, the Nine Dragons Association also faded from everyone's minds.

When Qin Yufan saw her brother's messages, she replied: [Why don't you tell Yiling yourself?]

[I don't want to disturb her life.]

He promised to quietly watch over her and protect her. He did not want to disturb her life anymore.

When she read this response, Qin Yufan understood Qin Chuan's behavior. She thereby responded: [I will tell her what you said. I will also remind her and Zhai Yunsheng to watch out for the reclusive families.]

After giving birth, Jian Yiling stayed in the hospital for an entire month.

The day she left, the Zhai family brought Jian Yiling and her baby home with great fanfare.

When Zhai Yunsheng and Jian Yiling got out of the car, there was a man waiting for them. The man was wearing an eye patch and there was another young man with strange eye movements standing beside him.

Zhai Yunsheng and Jian Yiling immediately recognized the man wearing an eye patch. They met him during an escape room a few years ago.

Back then, Jian Yiling registered her information as she became their store's VIP member.

However, during those two years, Jian Yiling did not go and visit the escape room again.

Hence, it was strange why they appeared in front of the Zhai Residence today.

"Young Master Zhai and Miss Jian, it's been quite a while. Do you still recognize me?" the man with an eye patch asked. He was not confident that Zhai Yunsheng and Jian Yiling remembered him.

"I have a good memory," Jian Yiling replied.

Even though they had only met once briefly, Jian Yiling had an excellent memory. This meant she did not forget about them.

"Did you guys come here for something?" Zhai Yunsheng asked.

He also remembered these two people.

And thus, he did not know why they were here today.
