"Do you think your name carries much weight in the capital?"

Xu Junran's words made the people around him widen their eyes.

Cao Junwei and Chen Hongtao looked at Xu Junran as if he were a lunatic, not understanding why he suddenly acted so crazy. Normally, anyone who received Sun Yuxuan's promise would be eager to befriend the young master of the Sun family, but he, on the other hand, spoke so disrespectfully that it left Sun Yuxuan in an awkward position.

Sun Jingyun's delicate brows furrowed slightly. She had initially thought well of Xu Junran. Although acts of bravery were not uncommon in this era, it took more than just courage to step forward bravely in front of so many people. It also required a determination to save others, even at the cost of one's own safety.

But now, she felt that Xu Junran had gone too far.

At the very least, saying such things in front of Sun Yuxuan made Sun Jingyun feel that this young man was a bit too presumptuous.

"Do you know who you're talking to?"

Sun Yuxuan's eyes were cold. If it weren't for the fact that this guy had just saved his aunt, he would have punched him to the ground long ago.

He had never seen anyone in the entire capital dare to speak to him like this.

Xu Junran looked at Sun Yuxuan calmly, seemingly oblivious to his clenched fists, and said indifferently, "The reason your name, Sun Yuxuan, can run rampant in the capital is simply because you fight harder and hit heavier than others. The support behind you is because you have a good grandfather. If you were from an ordinary family, what would you have?"

His gaze swept over Sun Jingyun and then deeply looked at Sun Yuxuan, speaking each word slowly and deliberately: "You don't value other people's lives. Have you ever thought that if one day your grandfather can no longer protect you, will you still be able to act so recklessly?"

After saying this, Xu Junran ignored the others' expressions and pulled Lin Yuqing toward Cao Junwei's car. At this point, there was no point in eating.

Cao Junwei smiled bitterly, greeted Sun Jingyun, and hurriedly followed Chen Hongtao to catch up.

Sun Yuxuan remained silent for a long time. It was the first time in his life that someone had spoken to him like this, completely disregarding him and cutting him down to the bone.

Sun Jingyun, seeing her nephew standing there motionless, walked over and gently comforted him, "Xuan, you..."

Shaking his head lightly, Sun Yuxuan forced a smile, "It's fine, Aunt. He's right. Without the Sun family's name, I am indeed nothing. I already knew this on the battlefield." He had just been discharged last week.

Not far away, the sound of police sirens could be heard. Sun Yuxuan looked in the direction Xu Junran and the others had left and suddenly asked, "Aunt, who were those people?"

Sun Jingyun then remembered she hadn't even asked Xu Junran's name. Shaking her head, she said, "I don't know. I only recognize one of them, Cao Uncle's second son."

Sun Yuxuan nodded, saying nothing more. To him, these people were just strangers, but Xu Junran's words had left a deep impression. No man wanted to live in the shadow of his elders, and Sun Yuxuan was an ambitious person. He had always thought of himself as a chosen one, but someone had told him that he was just someone who had achieved a great reputation by relying on his father's legacy. Therefore, Xu Junran left a deep impression on him.

While they were making statements to the police, Xu Junran and the others had already driven away from the Juyou Restaurant, heading for Cao Junming's house.

Arriving at Professor Jin's small building, only Cao Junming was at home. It turned out that Jin Li and the old professor were in the school laboratory experimenting with something they had discussed with Xu Junran the day before.

Seeing his brother, Xu Junran, and Chen Hongtao all injured, Cao Junming was taken aback and asked Xu Junran with concern, "Xiao Liu, what happened to you?"

Cao Junwei groaned from the side, "Brother, you're my real brother. I'm your real younger brother, okay?"

Unexpectedly, his words made Cao Junming glare at him and scold, "You still have the nerve to say that. Xiao Liu hasn't had a single argument in four years of university, but after going out with you, he ends up in a fight. I should let the old man give you a good beating!"

In his view, the usually gentle and scholarly Xu Junran would never provoke anyone, so the only reason for this situation was that Cao Junwei and Chen Hongtao had gotten into a fight and dragged Xu Junran into it.

He then looked at Chen Hongtao and said with deep concern, "Taozi, I'm not saying this to criticize you, but you're not a kid anymore. Can't you focus on your career instead of fooling around with Junwei?"

Chen Hongtao could only smile bitterly. After exchanging glances with Cao Junwei, the two of them felt a mix of frustration and helplessness. But in his heart, his respect for Xu Junran grew. After all, someone who could earn such high regard from Cao Junming was worth befriending.

However, being unjustly blamed like this left him feeling a bit depressed.

Listening to Cao Junming scold his brother and Chen Hongtao, Xu Junran felt a warm current in his heart. In this life and the previous one, he owed this brother a great deal.

"Brother, it's not Junwei or Chen's fault. The blame is on me today."

Pulling the corners of his mouth, Xu Junran smiled bitterly and said to Cao Junming.

Cao Junming was taken aback for a moment, then his face darkened as he looked at Xu Junran's injuries, his voice suddenly turning cold, "Who did this?"

"Huh?"

Cao Junwei, seeing his brother's expression, shivered. He hadn't seen such a terrifying look from the big brother in years.

Chen Hongtao was also taken aback, then he couldn't help but take a closer look at Xu Junran, thinking how lucky this guy was to be so highly regarded by the Cao family's big brother. Judging by Cao Junming's reaction, if they found out who did this, there would likely be serious consequences.

Xu Junran shook his head helplessly and said to Cao Junming, "Brother, it's like this..."

He then recounted the entire incident to Cao Junming, even including the words he had said to Sun Yuxuan at the end, and finally smiled bitterly, "Junwei and Chen only got involved because I started the fight first. Fortunately, Sun Jingyun was out with her family today, or the three of us would have been in for a rough time."

Cao Junming nodded, then looked at Cao Junwei and Chen Hongtao, "You two did well, acting like good older brothers."

Then he turned to Xu Junran and said, "Why did you have to be such a do-gooder for nothing? Why did you get involved with Sun Yuxuan?"
