After listening to Jin Hailu's account, Qin Hanchu finally understood everything.
Simply put, Jin Hailu was a victim of past emotional disputes.
Jin Hailu's family had a good relationship initially.
But everything changed after Jin Hailu's father took over the family business.
Jin Hailu's father was busy with work and paid less and less attention to Song Zhilan.
Song Zhilan was a woman who craved emotional attention.
It was at this time that the chairman of Jianwei Group appeared.
This man was exceedingly attentive to Song Zhilan.
This emotional outpouring was precisely what Song Zhilan desired.
When Jin Hailu was in her teens, Song Zhilan left Island City with the chairman of Jianwei Group.
Someone then brought this matter to the school.
Soon, Jin Hailu became the focus of everyone's gossip.
All her classmates said Jin Hailu's mother was a slut.
What's more, some even applied this title to Jin Hailu herself.
The sarcasm and insults from her classmates made Jin Hailu reclusive and gradually indifferent.
It was fortunate that Jin Hailu did not take a desperate path because of it.
"Help me investigate her purpose for returning this time," Jin Hailu asked Qin Hanchu, having stopped crying.
"Why do you want to investigate this?" Qin Hanchu asked.
"She has never returned to see me all these years, and she didn't even show up at my father's funeral."
"She appeared only after I took over Jinshi Group. Doesn't that warrant suspicion?"
Jin Hailu said.
Qin Hanchu was conflicted, unsure whether to tell Jin Hailu the truth.
If Jin Hailu knew the truth, it would only make her feel more heartbroken.
"Have you found out already?" Jin Hailu asked, looking at Qin Hanchu's expression.
Qin Hanchu nodded and told her the truth: "Jianwei Group is facing financial chain problems. She's likely here to secure funds from Jinshi Group."
Jin Hailu chuckled sarcastically, "I knew she wouldn't come to me without reason."
"I've already warned her. If she disturbs you again, I'll make Jianwei Group pay," Qin Hanchu said indifferently.
"Thank you," Jin Hailu replied.
"Whether we can end up together or not, I, Qin Hanchu, will always be your best friend."
"Anyone who dares to hurt you will regret being born into this world,"
Qin Hanchu said firmly, placing his hand on Jin Hailu's shoulder.
"Aren't you afraid of your future wife getting jealous?"
Qin Hanchu's words warmed Jin Hailu greatly, and she even managed a smile as she said this.
"My wife, Qin Hanchu's wife, will certainly not be narrow-minded," Qin Hanchu smiled.
Jin Hailu chuckled lightly, "You're still too young; you don't understand women's hearts."
"With your fiancées teaching me, why would I be afraid of not seeing through women's hearts?" Qin Hanchu replied.
It was half-past eleven at night when the two finally returned home.
Because it was too late, Lin Ying and Xin Xin had already retired to their rooms.
After bidding each other goodnight, Qin Hanchu also returned to his room.
In the room, Lin Ying was surprisingly still awake.
Hearing Qin Hanchu and Jin Hailu return, she finally closed her eyes and went to sleep.
Despite sleeping late the previous night, Qin Hanchu still woke up early the next day.
As he sat on the balcony cultivating, Lin Ying emerged from her room.
"When did you get back? I thought you would spend the night outside?" Lin Ying whispered as she walked over to Qin Hanchu.
"Don't pretend; you were still awake when we returned," Qin Hanchu revealed Lin Ying's pretense without mercy.
Lin Ying was surprised, "How did you know?"
"The heartbeat of someone sleeping is different from someone awake," Qin Hanchu smiled, "Don't forget, I am a martial arts expert."
"You maintain vigilance even at home? How can we have private conversations like this?" Lin Ying said, feeling dejected.
"Too many people are watching me now; I have to be careful."
"Besides, what is there to avoid between us?"
Qin Hanchu smiled.
"Do you want to be sisters with me?" Lin Ying asked.
"If you don't mind, I have no problem."
Lin Ying glared at Qin Hanchu, then lowered her voice, "Did you and Hailu-jie make any substantial progress last night? Logically, it's easiest for sparks to fly when you open up to each other."
"Don't worry, while our feelings have progressed, we haven't reached the stage of love yet."
"Meaning, you're still in the running."
"Do you want to have a heart-to-heart talk with me?"
Qin Hanchu teased.
"Sure, accompany me to Disneyland today," Lin Ying said, placing her hand on Qin Hanchu's shoulder as if hugging a good friend.
"Not today; I need to train three formidable subordinates," Qin Hanchu replied.
As they were chatting, Jin Hailu came out of her room.
Seeing Lin Ying with her arm around Qin Hanchu's shoulder, she didn't seem bothered.
Lin Ying was a very outgoing person, and putting her arm around Qin Hanchu was just a sign of their close relationship.
"Good morning!" Jin Hailu said with a smile.
Lin Ying was very surprised to see Jin Hailu greet them with a smile.
Jin Hailu seemed to be in a good mood today.
After Jin Hailu went into the bathroom, Lin Ying whispered to Qin Hanchu, "I didn't expect you to be so good at psychological counseling."
After chatting with Lin Ying for a while, Qin Hanchu began to cook.
After breakfast, Qin Hanchu took Jin Hailu's car to the hotel where Di Zi Yi Hao was staying.
Di Zi Yi Hao were triplet brothers, and they had a certain "telepathic connection."
This telepathic connection was not a superpower, but a very mysterious sense.
They could know the thoughts of the other two without communication.
Under this "ability," the three brothers' combined combat power was stronger.
Qin Hanchu's main task today was to help the three of them break through to the Grandmaster realm.
To facilitate addressing them, Qin Hanchu gave them new codenames: Tian Long, Di Hu, and Ren Jie!
Seeing Qin Hanchu enter the room, the three brothers quickly stood up to salute.
"No need for so many formalities. How is your foot injury?" Qin Hanchu asked.
"After using master's medicine, it has already scabbed over." The three were increasingly respectful of Qin Hanchu.
Qin Hanchu not only possessed the formidable strength of a Grandmaster but also had superb medical skills.
The wound pierced by steel arrows had scabbed over in just one night; this wound healing medicine was truly miraculous.
"Take off your shirts. Today, I will help you break through to the Grandmaster realm!" Qin Hanchu instructed.
Upon hearing this, the three brothers' eyes were filled with excitement.
Soon, the three brothers took off their shirts and sat cross-legged in front of Qin Hanchu.
Qin Hanchu handed three pills to them and said, "Take these pills, and endure no matter how much pain you feel later. If you stop, you won't get a second chance."
"Understood, we will definitely get through it," the three brothers said in unison.
With everything prepared, Qin Hanchu began to assist the three in breaking through their cultivation realms.
