Zhan watched Yibo buried in front of him. He couldn’t believe his eyes and didn’t dare to face such a cruel reality.
“No…” Zhan then screamed, “Yibo!”
He screamed miserably and bitterly. He struggled to get up, but fell down again.
Then, he crawled forward inch by inch, “Yibo, wait for me. I will get you out.”
When he just touched the burning wood, his fingers were burned. It hurt, but he gritted his teeth and did not say a word.
He was about to go on when rescuers finally came forward to give help.
Fanxing stopped him, “Mr. Zhan, please take care of yourself first.”
Zhan broke away from Fanxing’s hand on his shoulder, “I have to save him.”
“Mr. Zhan, Mr. Yibo has ordered me to take good care of you, I have to protect you.” Fanxing looked at the fire and was also a little worried about Yibo.
“The fire is blazing. Let the professionals to give help. What we can do now is not to make trouble for them and take good care of ourselves. I believe Mr. Yibo will be fine. Don’t you have confidence in him?” Fanxing advised Zhan, trying to get him to leave from here.
Zhan’s eyes were filled with tears. He looked at such a terrible scene. How could he convince himself to be completely at ease?
“Anyway, I’m not leaving. I will stay here.” Zhan refused to leave.
Fanxing was in a dilemma, “Mr. Zhan, do not do this. Mr. Yibo does not want to see you like this.”
“Fanxing, don’t say that again. I just want to stay with him.” Zhan only wanted to see Yibo first, and then could feel at ease.
“Then Mr. Zhan, I am sorry.” Fanxing put Yibo’s order first, “Guys, invite Mr. Zhan to the car.”
As soon as Fanxing said this, two bodyguards in black suits came forward and stood behind Zhan.
Zhan looked up at the two men, and then looked at Fanxing, “Fanxing, what do you want to do?”
“Carry out Mr. Yibo’s orders and bring you to a safe place.” Fanxing nodded at the two bodyguards, “I’ll bear all the consequences.”
The two bodyguards then held Zhan’s shoulders so that he could not struggle.
Zhan was furious, “Let go of me!”
“Sorry, Mr. Zhan. We only do what Mr. Yibo tells us to do.”
Fanxing looked at Zhan’s injured finger, “Your injured finger needs to be treated. You cannot help here. Please wait in the car quietly.”
Zhan was forcibly taken away by the bodyguards. He struggled, “Let go of me! Let go! You can’t do this to me!”
But no one listened to him.
They took him away. Zhan was in tears, “Yibo!”
Zhan screamed Yibo’s name with such determination and force that it tore through the dark sky and exhausted all the strength in his body.
Zhan fainted again because he was mentally and physically exhausted.
His only concern was for Yibo now,
“Mr. Fanxing, Mr. Zhan fainted…”
“Quickly take him to the hospital, Protect Mr. Zhan and tell me if anything happens.” Fanxing was unable to leave now and was worried about Yibo.
“Yes.” The bodyguard did as he was told.
Zhan was taken to the hospital, while Yibo’s life was uncertain.
Fanxing was nervous when he watched the rescuers go in and out of the fire.
If anything happened to Yibo, he also could not live.
Yibo’s father wouldn’t let him go, and Zhan would… He began to pray inside that Yibo would be okay.
But he could not convince himself that nothing would happen in such a terrible situation.
“Sir, how’s it going now? Have you found Mr. Yibo?” Fanxing stopped the rescue leader, Force Luo.
“Yes, But Mr. Yibo is crushed by the beam, We are thinking of ways. Don’t worry.” Luo patted his shoulder.
Fanxing felt as if he saw a glimmer of hope. Mr. Yibo must be okay.
After a long wait, Yibo was rescued from the fire and carried out by the rescuers. He was dirty and dying, which was different from what he used to be.
Besides, he got different injuries all over, which shocked Fanxing.
In the past, Fanxing would never have thought that Yibo would do this for another person. But now, he was really shocked to see that Yibo even ignored his own life for the sake of Mrs Wang.
“Hurry to the hospital.”
Fanxing then followed.
***
When they arrived at the hospital, Yibo was taken into the operating room.
Fanxing waited outside alone, fidgeting. He felt tortured as time passed.
When the nurse came out, Fanxing immediately stepped forward, “How is Mr. Yibo?”
“He is seriously injured and his life is in danger. Please be prepared.” The nurse said weakly.
Hearing this, Fanxing was serious, “He is the member of the Wang family. Anyway, you must save him. If he dies, I’m afraid. this hospital will be torn down!”
If Qiren lost his beloved son, there would be many people who would suffer.
“I see. We will do our best. But….” The nurse’s face was pale.
“No buts. You must save him! Do you understand?” Fanxing warned with a serious face.
“Yes, yes.” The nurse nodded repeatedly and gave the form in her hand to Fanxing, “This needs to be signed by his family.”
Fanxing looked at it and signed his name, “Mr. Zhan is also hospitalized here. There is no one to sign. As his assistant, I have full authority. We only have one request. Save him, or I and you will all…”
“I know.” The nurse took the form and turned to go in.
Fanxing stood in place, exhaled deeply, and wiped his face.
In the middle of the night, Yibo was transferred to a sterile room for observation after surgery.
The doctor said he was not yet through the danger period. If he could not wake up in seventy-two hours, he might never wake up again…
Fanxing stood outside the sterile room, looking through the glass window at Yibo lying inside. If not for the blinding white bandages and tubes inserted in his body, he would really think that Yibo was just asleep.
Fanxing stood there. His eyes were painful, but he could not sleep.
He reached out and touched the glass window, “Mr. Yibo, don’t worry. Mr. Zhan just had a minor injury to the hand. Please hurry to wake up. He is still waiting for you.”
This time, Fanxing was deeply touched by Yibo’s action.
Fanxing stayed outside and had a rest in the chair all night.
***
The next morning, the bodyguard rushed in, “Mr. Fanxing, Mr. Zhan is awake. He wants to see Mr. Yibo.”
Fanxing slowly opened his eyes. Since he did not rest well, his eyes were covered with bloodshot, which was a bit frightening.
“I see.”
Fanxing got up and went to the bathroom to wash his face with cold water before he followed the bodyguard to Zhan’s ward.
“Why are you guys stopping me? I’m fine now. I want to see my husband.” Zhan looked at the bodyguards who were blocking his way.
“I will not be polite if you guys do that again!”
No matter what Zhan said, they were indifferent and did not speak, like wooden men.
Zhan only wanted to know Yibo’s news and his heart was torn with anxiety.
He picked up the glass on the bedside table and smashed it on the corner of the cabinet, using one of the shards against his neck.
He had a determined look on his face, “Let me go, or I’ll kill myself here!”
When the bodyguards saw Zhan’s violent reaction, they panicked.
After all, he was Yibo’s wife. If anything happened to him, they wouldn’t be able to live.
“Mr. Zhan…”
“Mr. Zhan, please don’t embarrass them. They are just doing what I tell them to do. Now that I’m here, you can talk to me if you have anything to say.” Fanxing saw this thrilling scene as soon as he entered the room.
Fanxing’s eyes were fixed on the shard Zhan was pressing against the side of his neck. He was afraid that Zhan would hurt himself on an impulse. If so, it would be hard for him to explain to Yibo.
“Fanxing, I want to see Yibo.” Zhan replied, meeting his gaze.
“You’ll see him, but not today.” Fanxing didn’t want Zhan to see Yibo as he was now. The king in his heart should be at his best in front of Zhan.
Besides, Fanxing had worked for Yibo for so many years and knew that Yibo wouldn’t want Zhan to take the blame on himself when he saw him like this.
“Why? What happened to him? Tell me!” Zhan had a foreboding. He still remembered the fire which could destroy everything.
He was afraid… he dared not think about it.
“I am his wife. I have the right to know everything about him.” Zhan struggled to calm down, “No matter what he is now, I have to face it.”
Zhan bit his lip lightly. His gaze was firm.
Fanxing took a deep breath, “Mr. Zhan, put down what you’re holding first, Let’s have a talk.”
“I won’t let go until you tell me what happened to him.” Zhan clenched the shard in his hand even tightly, “Since he asked you to protect me, if you don’t want me to hurt myself, then tell me. Anyway, I’m in a very bad mood right now. I may not control myself.”
Zhan pressed against the shard a bit harder. The sharp shard cut through his delicate skin. A bloodstain appeared on the white skin. It was shockingly visible.
Fanxing called out to him, “Stop. I’ll tell you everything.”
Finally, Zhan won. They could not stand by and watch him hurt himself.
“Mr. Zhan, you can put down it now. I am a man of my word.” Fanxing saw that Zhan was still defensive.
“It’s the only leverage I have. I will not put it down.” No one here would listen to him.
Fanxing had no choice and frowned, “Mr. Yibo was rescued. But he was badly injured. He is still unconscious now and has not gone through the dangerous period.”
Listening to these, Zhan could imagine the Yibo’s bruised body. His heart ached at the thought of these injuries, and he wanted to cry.
“Where is he now? I want to see him.” Zhan held back his tears and sobbed.
“He shouldn’t want you to see him now.” Fanxing pursed his lips.
“Whatever he looks like, he’s my husband. I’m not afraid.” Zhan just wanted to see Yibo now and confirmed that he was alive.
“Then please come with me.” There was nothing Fanxing could do to stop Zhan.
Zhan carefully got out of bed, wearing the blue and white hospital clothes, which looked a little big on his thin body.
Fanxing led him to the front of Yibo’s ward. As soon as Zhan entered, he saw Yibo lying inside through the glass window.
His face was also wounded, and was very pale and bloodless.
Zhan pressed against the glass window. Tears were flowing down his cheeks.
He pursed his lips and did not make a sound, Because once he opened his mouth, there would be the sound of crying.
He did not want Yibo to hear his cry.
Zhan turned away and wiped his tears with his sleeve. Then, he took a deep breath while fanning his eyes with his hands, as if he could fan the tears back.
After he adjusted his emotions, he tried to smile while facing Yibo once again.
“Yibo.., I am here to see you. Don’t worry. I’m fine.” Zhan’s voice was sweet, just like the intoxicating wind, “Honey, I’m sure you’ll wake up and get better because you’re Wang Yibo who will never be beaten.”
“Grandpa, I, and Fei are all waiting for you. You can’t keep sleeping like this. I know you can hear me. You owe me a wedding. You can’t forget it.”
“Honey, knowing you is the luckiest thing in my life. Fei and I love you.”
“Honey, I will always wait for you and stay with you until you wake up.”
“Honey, if you miss me, please wake up…”
Zhan said so much to Yibo, just hoping to wake him up.
Fanxing stood there and suddenly wanted to cry for no reason after hearing these words.
After seeing Yibo, Zhan returned to his ward.
Fanxing sent him there, “You haven’t eaten breakfast all morning. I’ve asked someone to get it.”
“The person who kidnapped me is Hepeng.” Zhan said, sitting on the edge of the bed.
Fanxing was surprised, “How did you know it was him?”
“Although he had deliberately disguised himself, I still recognized him.” Zhan was very observant, “He was outside smoking when the accident happened. Did he get caught?”
“He dared to kidnap you. Of course we cannot let him go. He has been arrested by the police. How to deal with Hepeng will be decided by Mr. Yibo after he wakes up.” Speaking of Hepeng, Fanxing even wanted to kill him.
“He certainly couldn’t do it alone.” Zhan intuitively said, looking at Fanxing.
“You mean he has accomplices?” Fanxing thought for a moment, “Do you suspect Lingjiao?”
“There’s no one else but her who could have gotten Hepeng to even risk his life.” Zhan’s eyes gradually became sharp, “Since she has been against me repeatedly and even getting my family involved, she must pay the price for her actions. This time, she cannot be let off easily.”
“The two were was in league!” Fanxing’s hatred for them surged,”Then we must let Hepeng say something.”
Zhan nodded.
“Leave this to me. I’ll make them miserable, or Mr. Yibo suffered this injury for nothing.” Fanxing narrowed his eyes.
“You get some rest. I’ll go to the police station.” With that, Fanxing left Zhan’s ward.
***
Police station.
°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°
Hepeng was detained overnight. Thinking about Yibo’s situation, he didn’t rest well all night and was nervous. So, Hepeng looked sleepy and haggard, his eyes covered with red blood.
He was a little excited when he saw Lingjiao coming to see him. “Lingjiao, you are here. Can you bail me out? I don’t want to stay here.”
“Hepeng, take it easy. Let’s talk slowly.”
“I’ve asked the lawyer. You’re in a serious situation. Besides, there’s pressure from the victim. So, I cannot bail you out now.”
“Hepeng, I’m… sorry,” Lingjiao said with a look of remorse.
“Don’t you cry… It’s okay.” Hepeng softened when he saw the tears in her eyes, “After all, it was Yibo who was hurt. They certainly won’t let me off so easily.”
Hepeng sighed in despair.
“Hepeng, I’m sorry. It’s all my fault. I’ve caused you. How about I go and explain everything to the police, so that they can let you go and let me stay here for you?” Lingjiao seemed righteous and wanted to take all the responsibility.
“Stop talking nonsense.” Hepeng looked at her bulging belly and could not bear it, “You’re not in good health and are pregnant. How can I let you stay here? You just need to take good care of yourself and our baby now, and leave the rest to me.”
Lingjiao frowned, her eyes full of sadness, “But I’m involved in this. They will not let me go.”
“No, they will let you go.” Hepeng shook his head.
“Hepeng, in fact, I think it’s a good idea to stay here with you. But I still have our baby in my belly. The doctor said that he was nice. Look, this is the 4-D ultrasound.” Lingjiao showed Hepeng the ultrasound she had brought.
“This is the paternity certificate.” Lingjiao took out another certificate, “I just want to give you a reassuring answer.”
Hepeng picked up the certificate and flipped it, seeing that it was written on the last page that the two were paternity.
“Do you remember the last time I asked you for your hair? I got an amniocentesis and used your hair with hair follicles to do a paternity test. I just want to tell you that the baby is yours.”
Hepeng held the report, his fingers shaking. He looked at Lingjiao, “Lingjiao, you are so stupid! Amniocentesis is risky. How could you be so reckless!”
“I know you have doubts in your mind. I just want you to know that you are the child’s real father.” Lingjiao took his hand, “You were the only one who stood by me when everyone abandoned me. You helped me, warmed me, and loved me. Hepeng, without you, I wouldn’t be who I am today.”
“If I didn’t have this child, I would have been there for you. But I couldn’t do it for the child. Will you blame me?”
Hepeng was touched by Lingjiao’s behavior. He held her hand, “Lingjiao, don’t worry. I will never let anyone hurt you. Even if it costs me my life, I will keep you and the baby safe and sound.”
“Hepeng, Yibo and Zhan are not dead. You will be fine. But you may be a few years in jail. Don’t worry. I will take care of myself and our baby. We will wait for you.” Lingjiao moved Hepeng with emotion.
“I will be fine as long as you guys are fine.”
“Hepeng, thank you.” Lingjiao smiled.
“Don’t mention it. You’re my woman and pregnant with my child. I’m a man, I’m not very capable, but I will protect you at least.” Hepeng also smiled slightly.” As long as I do not say anything, no one can get you involved. Lingjiao, promise me that you will take care of yourself and the baby. As long as you give birth to the baby safely, I’ll be glad.”
“I know. You take care of yourself. I will give birth to this baby safely.” Lingjiao nodded.
They then spoke some more, and Lingjiao left.
When Lingjiao walked out of the police station, she looked at the sky and smiled in triumph.
She finally settled this matter. After Hepeng took the whole blame, the Wang family would not let him go. Even if Hepeng would not be sentenced to life imprisonment, he would be sentenced to several decades at least. She could live a few decades with Darren in peace.
Hepeng couldn’t get in her way anymore. She had planned to kill two birds with one stone.
But this child… Lingjiao looked down at her bulging belly and frowned. She had wished this child to be Darren’s child. But it was not.
She could not give birth to Hepeng’s child……
***
Not long after Lingjiao left, Fanxing arrived at the police station.
In the officer’s arrangement, they met Hepeng.
Hepeng was not at all surprised when he saw Fanxing. He avoided Fanxing’s sharp gaze in fear.
He had investigated that Yibo had left Chongqing. His trip was a week. But it hadn’t even been a week yet. Why did he come back? Yibo even came back late at night in the early morning, which was the time when he kidnapped Zhan.
Yibo came so coincidentally, shattering his last illusion. When he watched Yibo get crushed by the collapsing roof for saving Zhan, he was also nervous.
If Yibo died, then he couldn’t live either.
Fanxing sat opposite Hepeng. His face was cold and sullen and his gaze was sharp, which made Hepeng uneasy.
Hepeng looked down and curled up his fingers nervously.
“I’m really sorry that Mr. Yibo got hurt. But I didn’t mean to hurt Zhan. I just intended to scare him.” Hepeng volunteered to confess, “I’m really sorry. I didn’t expect that.”
“Kidnap Zhan, cause Mr. Yibo to get hurt, and intentionally set fire to hurt others… Hepeng, how dare you?” Fanxing ignored his apology and instead exemplified his crime.
“I didn’t set the fire on purpose, I just lit some cardboard boxes. to scare Zhan, He wanted to make a deal with me. I intended to think about it and then went out to smoke. I didn’t expect the fire to spread inside, much less Mr. Yibo to appear…” The more Hepeng said, the lower his voice was and the guiltier he felt.
“Whether you mean it or not, you have caused irreparable consequences.” Fanxing’s voice was cold and stern, “Mr. Yibo is still in the hospital and is not out of danger. If anything happens to him, you will have to die with him. If he wakes up, you’ll be miserable. Unless…”
“What?” Hepeng’s face was pale and his voice was trembling, “This is really an accident. I would do anything if I could atone for my sins.”
“You must be unable to do it alone. There must be others who did it with you.” Fanxing carefully watched the change of Hepeng’s expression, “Is she Lingjiao?”
Fanxing’s affirmative tone scared Hepeng, and he became even more flustered.
Hepeng pursed his lips and interlocked his fingers, “No… it’s not her. She has nothing to do with it.”
Seeing that Hepeng did not tell the truth, Fanxing said, “If the mastermind of this matter is Lingjiao, we can give you a way out and a lighter sentence. Otherwise, we will charge you with kidnapping and intentional homicide. Hepeng, you have to think it over what kind of day you will live. Heaven or hell, it’s up to you.”
Hepeng lightly closed his eyes. His throat moved. All that came to his mind was the child in Lingjiao’s belly, “I said she has nothing to do with it. I did this alone.”
“In a moment of madness I wanted to take revenge on Zhan for making me lose face by kneeling in front of his company. I just wanted to scare him, not to kill him. I did not expect Mr. Yibo to appear. I had tried to avoid Mr. Yibo.”
“You did it just to attack Zhan while Mr. Yibo was out of the country. Don’t pretend to be innocent.” Fanxing sneered, “I just want to know the result I want. Since you won’t give it, then Hepeng, do you think you can protect her?”
“Sometimes it’s not always necessary to punish a person with the law.” Fanxing reached out and pointed his head, “Brains are useful. We can use it to come up with a lot of ways.”
“You are in custody here. I don’t think you can go out to protect her. Hepeng, you are not smart enough.”
Hepeng got a little scared when he heard Fanxing’s words. After all, Yibo had power and authority. It was easy for them to deal with someone.
“Don’t touch her! Or I won’t spare you even as a ghost!”
“Ghost? It’s stupid to believe in that nowadays.” Fanxing pushed his chair and got up with a fierce look, “Hepeng, I’ll show you what Lingjiao deserves before you die.”
Fanxing buttoned his suit with his long fingers, stood indifferently, and turned to leave.
“Fanxing, don’t touch her! I won’t allow you to touch her!” Hepeng was so distraught that he instinctively chased after Fanxing.
He had just reached the door when the police pulled him back, “Hepeng, behave yourself.”
“Sir, they… are going to hurt Lingjiao. Please let me out. I want to protect her and the baby.” Hepeng raised his hands and swore,
“Please…”
“Stop talking nonsense.” The police were very serious, “Stay here and behave yourself.”
“Then can you send some of your men to protect Lingjiao? As long as you are there, they won’t dare to do anything to her.” Hepeng could only put his trust in the police.
But how could the police believe his words?
Hepeng was taken back to the detention room.
He was naive to think that he could protect Lingjiao and their child by staying here.
This time, Yibo and Zhan were injured. How could the Wang family let it go easily?
They would rather kill a hundred by mistake than spare a person.
Besides, Yibo was cruel and would never let them go.
***
Hepeng was worried about Lingjiao. But he didn’t know that Lingjiao now was intending to abort the baby and had already lived with Darren again.
Lingjiao left the police station and went to the supermarket to buy fresh vegetables, fish and fruits.
Unexpectedly, she met Jiyang. They were just five meters away.
Jiyang gracefully took off his sunglasses, walked towards Lingjiao, and slapped her, which made Lingjiao helpless and see stars.
“Lingjiao, how dare you show up in front of me!”
As song as Jiyang heard about Zhan’s accident today, he rushed to the hospital to visit him. They had consonance and knew that Lingjiao must be the culprit behind it.
Now that he met Lingjiao, it was a good chance for him to take revenge for Zhan.
“Jiyang!” Lingjiao’s face was hot and hurt, as if it was pinned by needles.
“How dare you call my name?” Jiyang took two steps closer, “If you can stand still, I’ll tear you to pieces for Zhan!”
“It’s none of my business what happened to him! Jiyang, I’m telling you I’m still Mrs. Jin. Hitting me is embarrassing the Jin family. The Jin family will not allow you to be so arrogant!”
Lingjiao could only rely on her identity.
“All people know that you have cuckolded Darren and have been kicked out of the Jin family. Darren will divorce you. Do you think the Jin family will still protect you? You’re not delusional, are you?” Jiyang sneered, laughing at how stupid Lingjiao was.
“Then you can try hitting me again.” Lingjiao raised her eyebrows and was not afraid of Jiyang.
“Do you think I will be afraid? Anyway, I want to exercise.” Jiyang rubbed his wrist and then raised his hand….
Unexpectedly, someone held his wrist tightly. Jiyang was shocked when he looked sideways to see that the person standing beside her to stop him was Darren.
“Darren, why are you stopping me? She caused Zhan to get hurt. I’ll teach this shameless bitch a lesson!” Jiyang broke free from his grip and was angry.
“Jiyang, she’s pregnant.”
Seeing Darren appear, Lingjiao hid behind him in fear and was aggrieved, “Darren, Mr. Jiyang is so fierce…”
She pretended to be pitiful as she was before, which made Jiyang speechless.
“Darren, you actually protect her. Are you crazy?”
Jiyang looked at Darren who was standing in front of Lingjiao to protect her with an incredulous look.
“Mr. Jiyang, I said she is pregnant. If it comes out that you fight pregnant women, it is not good for you, for the Song family, and for the Wen family.” Darren reminded Jiyang of the stakes, hoping he could calm down.
“Darren, don’t you know what she has done to Zhan? She stole Zhan’s fiancé back then, and now she wants to kill Zhan! Besides, what has she done to you?”
“Do you forget that she has cuckolded you? It is still unsure whether the baby in her belly is yours. But you are protecting her now. Darren, I’m so disappointed with you! Zhan is wise to leave you and marry Mr. Yibo…”
“Mr. Jiyang, stop it!” Darren’s face was cold and he held Lingjiao’s hand, “No matter what she did, it’s between us. It’s none of your business!”
“We’re not divorced yet. Now, she is still Mrs. Jin and is a member of the Jin family! For the sake of your father, I will not mind your slap just now. But from now on, please respect us, Mr. Jiyang.”
“Darren, you ungrateful bastard!” Jiyang despised Darren for being so partial to Lingjiao and even ignoring Zhan’s life and death.
“Let’s go.” Darren was expressionless as he held Lingjiao and was about to leave.
“Stop.” A male voice drew the attention of the crowd.
Jiyang watched Haoxuan walk over with his hands in his pockets. He was leisurely and lazy, and stood beside him.
He reached over and took Jiyang’s hand that had just hit Lingjiao on the left side of her face, “Honey, does your hand hurt?”
“…” Jiyang just wanted to ask him whether you are crazy.
Haoxuan didn’t care whether Jiyang answered or not, but kept staring at Darren and Lingjiao.
His gaze gradually became cold and solemn, “Mr. Darren, it’s your business if you don’t care. But I am always petty. Mrs. Jin’s face is tough and thick, which hurts my wife’s delicate palm and makes it red. What are you going to do?”
Jiyang opened his charming eyes slightly and did not expect Haoxuan to be so knavish.
“Mr. Haoxuan, it is obvious that he hit me. My face hurts. How can you say that? You are too unreasonable.” Lingjiao felt very dissatisfied.
“I am unreasonable. So what?” Haoxuan raised his eyebrows, “My wife is delicate and weak, I can’t bear to let him work hard. You even make him angry and hit you. Lingjiao, you are really good.”
Lingjiao grabbed Darren’s sleeve with some fear.
Haoxuan was the youngest son of the Wen family. A spoiled man like him was unusually unreasonable.
“Mr. Haoxuan, please don’t be unreasonable.” Darren spoke out to calm them down, “Let it go.”
“Let it go? No way.” Haoxuan disagreed.
“Then what do you want?” Darren frowned, not expecting Haoxuan to be so intractable, “You have to know that it is wrong for Mr. Jiyang to hit others.”
“My wife is always right in my eyes whatever he does.” Haoxuan sneered, “Besides, he hit Mrs. Jin who is hated by everyone. It just dirties my wife’s hands.”
Haoxuan took Jiyang’s hand and put it in front of him, “Honey, what do you think? I will always listen to you. If you do not want to let it go…
“As long as Lingjiao is alive, I will have many opportunities.” Jiyang drew back his hand and glared at Lingjiao before turning to leave.
“Lingjiao, if you anger my wife again, I won’t let you off as easily as I did today. Mr. Darren’s face can’t work all the time.” Haoxuan said and left to catch up with Jiyang.
Darren and Lingjiao watched them disappeared in the bamboo grove around the corner.
Lingjiao relaxed after she couldn’t see them and leaned lightly into Darren’s arms.
“Darren, I… I’m so scared.” Lingjiao was indeed afraid of Jiyang.
Jiyang’s aura was so powerful that it would make her forget to avoid. And she had been a little afraid of Jiyang since she was a child.
Jiyang was too sharp.
Darren took her shoulder, looked into the distance, and gently said, “Do not be afraid, I am here.”
“But they… You can’t be with me all the time.” If she met Jiyang alone one day again, what should he do?
It was easy for Jiyang to kill her if he really wanted.
“Jiyang is just tough-mouthed. He doesn’t dare to do anything to you. Since Zhan is injured and hospitalized, as Zhan’s best friend, Jiyang will inevitably be furious. It will be fine when his anger subsides.”
“Although I can’t be with you all the time, I will have someone secretly protect you. Don’t worry.”
Hearing what Darren said, Lingjiao gradually settled down.
“Good. I’ll try to stay at home and wait for you.” Lingjiao behaved well and was considerate, “Let’s go home. I’ve bought a lot of food and will cook it for you.”
Lingjiao took Darren’s arm and they went back home.
After they entered the house and changed their shoes, Lingjiao put all the food in the kitchen.
“Darren, take a break. I’ll call you when the meal is ready.” Lingjiao got the apron and tied it.
Then, Lingjiao cooked and Darren went upstairs.
He went into the study and locked the door before taking out his cell phone and dialing a number, “Did you find the person?”
“OK. When the person is found, prepare everything and I’ll tell you what to do.”
***
During the three days when Yibo was in a coma, Zhan and Fanxing were tormented.
Yibo had not woken up. Although Zhan seemed calm on the surface, his mind was in turmoil.
As long as he was free, he would stay outside Yibo’s ward and looked at him through the glass window, Yibo’s face as pale as paper. He was lifeless.
Yibo was so quiet that he looked like he was asleep.
“Yibo, I know you must be very tired. But please do wake up, even for a second or two. Even if you can open your eyes to see me before going to sleep, it will be good. Yibo…” Zhan bit his lip and looked down, his eyes full of sadness. “I’m really scared…”
At that moment, a mess of footsteps came. Zhan turned around and saw Qiren and Liying coming in a hurry, followed by Jingyi, Zoe, and Fanxing.
“Dad…”
SLAP
Just as Zhan turned around and called out, a crisp slap sounded.
Qiren’ action was so fast that it caught people off guard. He hit Zhan and tilted his head.
It hurt so much that Zhan felt that the pain spread on his face like the fire three days ago.

I am obsessed with WangXian and YiZhan so much… currently love to read and write stories about them…

I hope the author will finish this story. It’s almost two years yet no update
