At this moment, Xie Qi, who had been fast asleep, was jolted awake by the commotion. Rubbing his drowsy eyes, he slowly sat up in bed.
Though he did not know what had transpired, Xie Qi knew the priority was to put an end to the chaos. He steadied himself and called out to Xiaohei, "Xiaohei, let go." His voice was soft, yet carried an undeniable air of authority.
In truth, ever since leaving the Ye Family, Xie Qi had been feigning unconsciousness. His first goal was to let everyone see how severely he had been injured, but he also had a secondary, more selfish motive. He had deliberately fainted onto Xiahou Yuan, hoping it would lead the Xia Family to take him in, thereby allowing him to enter their household in a logical manner. He hadn't expected to fall fast asleep during the surgery due to sheer exhaustion. Had the two not started fighting and woken him up, he likely would have slept until dawn.
