“Humph! I am indeed Mo Wentian, and I don’t hide my name or change my identity!”
Mo Wentian knew the red-robed monks were up to no good, but he wasn’t someone to be trifled with either.
Just as he was about to prepare for a fight, one of the red-robed monks suddenly grabbed the owner of the TCM clinic and said fiercely, “Don’t think your skills can save you now. If you don’t surrender quietly, this guy is dead!”
Seeing that the monks had taken a hostage, Mo Wentian had no choice but to sigh and comply.
The red-robed monks quickly captured Mo Wentian and tied him up tightly, leaving him bound like a dumpling.
“What now? Should we notify Xu Fei immediately?” one of the monks asked.
The leader of the monks waved his hand and said, “No rush. Let’s take this old man back and interrogate him for a couple of days. If we don’t make him suffer, how will his disciple feel the pain?”
With that, Mo Wentian was taken away.

Meanwhile, in Jiangbei City, Xu Fei was about to contact Bai Zhan and the others to check on their progress in investigating the Blood Robe Sect.
But before he could make the call, his phone rang. It was Bai Feng.
“Hey, Bai Feng, what’s up?”
At first, Xu Fei didn’t think much of it, but as soon as the call connected, he heard crying on the other end and immediately grew concerned.
Bai Feng quickly explained, “Uh… it’s not me crying. It’s a friend I just met who’s in trouble. I was wondering if you could help…”
As long as Bai Feng was safe, Xu Fei could handle anything else. So, he relaxed a bit and said, “Tell your friend not to worry. I’ll be right there!”
With that, Xu Fei drove straight to the university and soon arrived at Jiangbei University.
When he arrived, he saw a girl sitting next to Bai Feng, crying her eyes out. After some explanation from Bai Feng, Xu Fei understood the situation—it was a messy and thankless problem.
The girl’s name was Wang Zhixian, a classmate and recent friend of Bai Feng’s.
Wang Zhixian came from a strict family, but she was naturally outgoing and had quickly found a boyfriend at school. Unfortunately, the guy turned out to be a scoundrel who abandoned her after just three days.
Somehow, news of this reached Wang Zhixian’s mother, who promptly announced she was coming to the university to give her daughter a stern lesson.
Despite being a college student, Wang Zhixian was still quite naive and was terrified by the prospect of her mother’s wrath. Hence, the tears.
Bai Feng, equally clueless about how to handle the situation, had impulsively decided to ask Xu Fei for help.
Xu Fei felt a headache coming on. Even the wisest judge couldn’t settle family disputes, and while he was confident in many things, this was beyond his expertise.
Then, Wang Zhixian sobbed, “If none of you are willing to help me, I might as well just die!”
Seeing her resort to emotional blackmail, Xu Fei grew anxious and said, “Alright, alright! Tell me what you need, and I’ll do my best to help!”
“Then… could you pretend to be my boyfriend later?”
