Chapter 66

As Xiang Yufei continued to narrate, Zhang Qiu finally understood what had happened. Her father had returned to the city and found her, not to mock her, but because he was in trouble and came to his daughter to act pitiful.

When he abandoned his wife and daughter, he had even said that this beautiful daughter was not his biological child. But now he was acting pitiful, saying that he had raised her for over a decade. He apologized to Xiang Yufei and said he was sorry to her and her mother.

Xiang Yufei, who appeared to be a tough girl, was actually a kind-hearted and gentle girl. Since he was her biological father, although she hated him, his apologies and pitiful act touched her soft side.

After the conversation started, Xiang Yufei learned that her father had sold the house and left with the mistress, only to find out that the mistress was a fraud. The mistress had indeed given him a son, but this time it was not his biological child.

He was angry and wanted to beat the mistress, but was beaten by her lover instead. The mistress then fled with her lover and the child, taking all the family assets.

Her father's story was even more melodramatic and tragic than what she had experienced. At first, she did not believe him and refused to forgive him.

Later, when her father bowed and bled at her mother's grave, she was somewhat moved.

Then, one day, she saw her father begging on the street and could no longer bear it. She began to provide him with financial support.

However, her father, after receiving her support, did not try to improve his life but secretly gambled, hoping to win back his losses. After losing everything, he lied to Xiang Yufei, saying he wanted to start a business and be a new man, and tricked her into giving him her savings.

He gambled even more, becoming obsessed and falling deeper into debt. By the time Xiang Yufei realized something was wrong, it was too late. She felt that forgiving him was her biggest mistake and decided to stop supporting him.

Fortunately, Xiang Yufei, out of self-protection, had never told her father where she worked or lived.

However, her father had her contact information. One day, he suddenly called her, saying he wanted to have a final talk with her. His tone was very sincere, full of regret, and seemed like a last meeting.

Xiang Yufei thought that if he did not change this time, she would cut ties with him. After work, she went to meet him. But when she arrived, she found it was an entertainment venue, which made her suspicious, but she still went in.

Once inside, she discovered the truth. Her father had borrowed money from a loan shark to gamble. The loan shark was the owner of the nightclub, and when her father could not pay, he pawned his daughter to them as a prostitute.

This kind of dark event from the old society, which she had only read about in history books, was happening in this modern, prosperous city.

Xiang Yufei could not believe that her father was such a scumbag, and all his previous apologies were just a facade.

Fortunately, Xiang Yufei was tough and smart. She managed to escape and ran out of the nightclub, her hair disheveled, shouting for help, which was the scene Zhang Qiu saw.

Hearing this, Zhang Qiu clenched his fists tightly and punched the table, making a loud "thud": "Damn! Your father is such a scumbag! He doesn't deserve to be your father!"

Xiang Yufei remained silent. Zhang Qiu continued angrily: "Actually, you shouldn't have paid attention to him from the beginning, let alone forgiven him! He has harmed you and your mother so much, what's there to pity? You pity him, but who pitied you back then?"

"I know I was wrong! I won't do it again," Xiang Yufei said, tears streaming down her face again.

"You, although you act tough, are really too kind-hearted. Good people are often taken advantage of, and scumbags are good at exploiting people's kindness," Zhang Qiu sighed. "How do you plan to solve this problem?"

"I will cut ties with him," Xiang Yufei said. "He doesn't know where I work or live. If he can't find me, it will be fine. The loan sharks will deal with him! As long as I ignore him, the problem will be over."

Zhang Qiu shook his head. This might not work, it seemed a bit wishful thinking. "You've met him so many times, you might have accidentally revealed where you work. Or he might have followed you and found out. In any case, just waiting passively doesn't seem reliable. If he finds out any of your addresses, he will come back to you under the pressure of the loan sharks."

Because whether he pawns you or asks you to pay off his debts, your scumbag father will see you as his only support and try to drag you down. Unless he is not a scumbag, but he clearly is.

"But what else can I do? Should I report him to the police? But I don't want to save him!" Xiang Yufei said.

"If you trust me, maybe I can help," Zhang Qiu said, deciding to step in without hesitation.

A beautiful girl like Xiang Yufei should not suffer such a tragic fate. Since she has decided to cut ties with her scumbag father, Zhang Qiu had no qualms about helping.

When you see injustice, you should step in to help. Now that his roommate is in trouble, and he has the ability to solve it, how could he not help?

"How can you help?" Xiang Yufei asked.

"First, tell me if you trust me," Zhang Qiu said. "If you do, I'll take care of this problem for you."

In such situations, there are usually three solutions: violence, money, or connections. Zhang Qiu had all three.

In terms of violence, he had national-level martial arts skills; in terms of money, he had over six million; in terms of connections, he could ask Chief Wang or Captain He Qing for help.

"I trust you... but..." Xiang Yufei said. Although she said she trusted him, her tone still sounded doubtful.

Zhang Qiu immediately interrupted her: "If you trust me, don't say 'but'! Come, follow me, let's go back and solve this problem today!"

Saying this, Zhang Qiu grabbed Xiang Yufei's hand and tried to pull her out. Xiang Yufei's feet did not move, but how could she resist Zhang Qiu's strength?

As Zhang Qiu pulled her, her body began to tilt. Zhang Qiu quickly stepped forward to catch her.

Xiang Yufei, about to fall, instinctively grabbed onto him.

The two embraced again, but this time there was no sad and heavy atmosphere. Zhang Qiu's heart beat wildly, and Xiang Yufei's heart also accelerated.

Too nervous, Zhang Qiu did not have time to feel Xiang Yufei's soft body. His hands, not knowing where to place, accidentally touched her soft, round buttocks.

Xiang Yufei's face turned red, and she immediately pushed Zhang Qiu away. At that moment, Zhang Qiu received a system notification, which distracted him, making it easy for Xiang Yufei to push him away.

"Completed passive task 'Xiang Yufei's Main Task (Familiarity): First Embrace.' Difficulty (Hard). Reward: Insight (National Level). Extract?"

Zhang Qiu did not expect to complete another passive task. The previous times on the street, in the car, and on the sofa were all considered embraces, but none of them completed the task. This time, it seemed to be related to his hand accidentally touching Xiang Yufei's buttocks.

From the three times he completed the first embrace task, it seemed that touching both the chest and buttocks was required. Zhang Qiu's heart skipped a beat, thinking he might have found a way to complete tasks?

But this thought was quickly dismissed. No, that would be too shameless. If the task was not completed, he would lose his integrity and conscience, which would not be worth it!

Putting aside these thoughts, Zhang Qiu immediately extracted the Insight (National Level). It would be useful when he went to settle the score.

After extracting the Insight skill, Zhang Qiu felt his ears and eyes became more sensitive. He could even hear the neighbors walking. However, this heightened sensitivity only lasted when he was focused. Normally, it just improved his vision and hearing.

"I'll go with you! Don't pull me anymore. I want to see what you, a little boy, can do! If you can really help me, I'll forgive you for your past sins," Xiang Yufei said.

Zhang Qiu felt that after Xiang Yufei said this, she seemed more positive. The unexpected embrace earlier seemed to have lifted some of her inner gloom. It was actually Zhang Qiu's attitude and courage that moved her, so she decided to give him a chance and go with him.

At this moment, Zhang Qiu received another notification: "Comfort successful. Xiang Yufei's Plot Task: Lamb-like Beauty (Completed). Task Difficulty (Hard). Reward: One String of Purple Sandalwood Beads (初级珍宝). Extract?"

Xiang Yufei said she would forgive Zhang Qiu after he helped her, but in fact, she had already forgiven him. Otherwise, the system would not have indicated that the task was completed.

Zhang Qiu was surprised to complete two tasks in a row. He wondered if the system was too considerate, helping him when he needed it.

But he just thought about it. Completing two tasks in a row was clearly an accident. The unexpected touch of Xiang Yufei's buttocks was an accident, and now completing this task was because Xiang Yufei had already forgiven him.

Taking out his phone, Zhang Qiu checked the Purple Sandalwood Beads in the system. It was a charm-like item that could bring good luck and protect one's safety. As a treasure, it also had the effect of calming the mind and soothing the heart.

Given its effects, it was perfect for Xiang Yufei's current state. Her mind was too chaotic and needed to be calmed. Zhang Qiu put his phone back in his pocket and extracted the Purple Sandalwood Beads.

He suddenly took Xiang Yufei's soft, delicate hand and, without waiting for her to react, put the beads on her.

"These are the beads I promised to give you as an apology."
