Chapter 44: The Foolish Young Master Got Beaten Up?:
The next day.
When Ye Liuyun woke up, he immediately sensed something was off in the living room.
Zhao Shen was sitting there with a gloomy expression, and even Qu Yingmeng had come over. However, Qu Yingmeng remained calm, unaffected by the tension.
[What’s going on?]
Ye Liuyun was confused. His thoughts alerted Qu Yingmeng to his presence.
“Master, what happened?”
He had just slept, but it felt like something serious had occurred.
[Why does it feel like someone died?]
His thoughts made Qu Yingmeng suppress a smile. She maintained her composure, but it was clear she found his reaction amusing.
“...”
Zhao Shen's face remained dark, clearly in a bad mood. Qu Yingmeng shrugged and explained.
“Zhao Haoqian got beaten up.”
“What? Young Master was beaten up?”
Ye Liuyun was stunned.
[What’s going on? I just slept, and the foolish young master got beaten up? What’s this about?]
His thoughts informed Yao Huaimeng and others about Zhao Haoqian’s situation. They quickly realized that no one but Long Tian would dare to assault Zhao Haoqian.
Ye Liuyun’s innocent look made them silently criticize him. Why was he so surprised? He constantly framed Zhao Haoqian; it was only a matter of time before something like this happened.
[Could it be because of me?]
Gasp!
Ye Liuyun realized this might be his fault.
Ah, this! He had planned to protect the foolish young master since he needed him to take the blame, but now Zhao Haoqian was beaten up, which was frustrating.
Bang!
Zhao Shen finally reacted.
His only son and heir had been attacked, and even his deep-seated composure couldn’t contain his rage.
He slammed his palm on the coffee table and coldly declared, “Anyone who dares to touch my son, I will not let them go!”
Retaliation was only natural.
However, Qu Yingmeng noticed that Zhao Shen’s gaze occasionally fell on her while making this declaration, and she laughed.
“Why are you looking at me? You don’t think I did it, do you?”
If she had done it, it wouldn’t have taken this long to address.
Zhao Shen knew this but hadn’t identified the culprit. Zhao Haoqian’s predicament benefited Qu Yingmeng the most, which made Zhao Shen suspicious.
“I’m just stating my resolve. Anyone who harms my son, I won’t let them off!”
Zhao Shen responded calmly to Qu Yingmeng’s retort.
“Ha!”
Qu Yingmeng didn’t care much and just smiled contemptuously, sitting quietly on the sofa.
“...”
Throughout this, Ye Liuyun stood silently aside.
[Hmm, not my business!]
...
Soon, two doctors walked out from the room.
Zhao Shen had hired them at great expense. The wealthier someone was, the more they valued their life, so it was natural to have doctors on standby for emergencies.
Moreover, the medical equipment in Zhao Shen’s home rivaled that of a large hospital, eliminating the need to visit one for any health issue.
“How is he?”
Seeing the doctors, Zhao Shen quickly approached them.
Qu Yingmeng and Ye Liuyun followed, curious about Zhao Haoqian’s condition.
“Sorry!”
The doctors looked at each other and shook their heads in resignation.
“We’ve done our best, but Young Master Zhao’s injuries are too severe!”
“His hands, legs, ribs, and even his spine are broken!”
The brutality of the attack was evident.
“We can only keep him alive for now. Whether he regains consciousness depends on his will. Even if he wakes up...”
They trailed off, knowing the implications were clear. With a broken spine, Zhao Haoqian would be paralyzed even if he regained consciousness.
“...”
Zhao Shen said nothing, clenching his fists. To be beaten so badly was beyond ordinary revenge.
[Wow, Long Tian is this ruthless?]
[Ugh!]
Even Ye Liuyun hadn’t anticipated such extreme measures from Long Tian.
[Poor foolish young master!]
It seemed the foolish young master could no longer serve as his scapegoat. This realization left Ye Liuyun feeling depressed.
[What a pity!]
Meanwhile, Qu Yingmeng rolled her eyes at Ye Liuyun’s reaction.
Was he a demon?
Others were suffering, and he was still thinking about using them as scapegoats.
“Understood!”
Zhao Shen finally spoke in a low voice after a long silence. Given the situation, he knew some things were beyond repair.
“Keep Haoqian alive. He must not die, understood?”
“Understood, Boss!”
The doctors sighed in relief, fearing Zhao Shen’s wrath might turn on them. They knew the terrifying power of the Zhao family well.
“Master!”
At this moment, a few of Zhao Shen’s subordinates rushed over.
“We’ve identified the culprits who hurt Young Master!”
Zhao Shen’s eyes narrowed at this.
“Who?”
“It was Tianlang Gang! We discovered that members of the Tianlang Gang attacked the young master!”
Without hesitation, they quickly reported their findings.
“Tianlang gang?”
Zhao Shen was puzzled. He knew the Tianlang gang as a notable gang in Hai City's underworld.
“A bunch of sewer rats dared to touch my son?”
To the Zhao family, gangs were like sewer rats, no matter how formidable they seemed. Zhao Shen suspected someone had hired the Tianlang gang to attack his son, but it didn’t matter.
“By tonight, I don’t want the Tianlang gang to exist anymore. Bring their leader to me—I have questions for him!”
