Tongjiang County Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital.

Li Hao was lying on the hospital bed. The swelling on his face had subsided a lot, but some bruises had not yet disappeared.

The once handsome face is no longer human-like.

Li Hao's heart was filled with hatred, but he couldn't vent it.

He had a gloomy face and looked completely different from his usual self.

Zhai Jing sat aside with a frown on his face.

She is Li Hao's mother. She is nearly forty years old now, but still looks like a woman in her twenties. She is well maintained, well-dressed, and has an extraordinary temperament.

Like mother, like son. It is estimated that most of Li Hao's genes were inherited from her. Unfortunately, apart from his appearance, the rest of his genes were not passed down.

For example, calm and composed, and unparalleled in calculations.

Zhai Jing is also well-known in the county's business community. She has a unique vision, is very accurate in judging people and things, and has an extraordinary sensitivity to major trends.

When she married Li Mingjiang, the two started from scratch. In just ten years, they went from working for others to becoming the largest building materials supplier in the county. This was talked about in the business world.

She is usually calm and composed in the face of difficulties, and it seems that nothing can be difficult for her.

But now, her face looked very ugly. Occasionally, when she glanced at her son on the hospital bed, she felt mixed emotions.

Her son has been very hardworking since he was young and is her pride, but this time, it seems that her son has gotten into big trouble.

She wouldn't blame him, but she also didn't want to cause any major business trouble because of her son's matter.

Tang Xiaobao had already been sent to the police station, and the family was discussing how to avenge Li Hao, but then Cheng Yaojin showed up out of nowhere.

Ma Ming and his daughter actually found the hospital. If Ma Ming hadn't stopped them, Ma Xiaofeng would have beaten them up on the spot.

Everyone in the circle knows that the father and daughter of the Ma family are notoriously arrogant. To put it nicely, they have strong underworld habits, but they have the capital to do so.

Ma Ming was right. Just one sentence was enough to cause the consequences to be beyond Li Mingjiang's ability to bear.

Yes, Li Mingjiang’s business is big and doing well, but whether in terms of assets, scale, or connections, he is not on the same level as Ma Ming.

In the circle, everyone is afraid of Ma Ming. If the latter spreads the word, no one would dare to do business with the Li family. What's more, the Li family's largest client is Mingcheng Real Estate.

The door of the ward was pushed open and Li Mingjiang walked in with a gloomy face.

"Is it handled?" Zhai Jing asked, standing up.

Li Mingjiang nodded: "The case has been withdrawn."

Li Hao bit his lip and said, "Dad, are you just going to let him go like this? I won't accept it!"

"You don't accept it?"

Li Mingjiang was furious. He pointed at his son and started yelling at him, "How dare you disobey me? Do you know who you've offended this time?"

"Okay, let me tell you. The person who just came was Ma Ming. Do you know who he is? He's the owner of Mingcheng Real Estate. Seventy percent of your father's annual income comes from him. Tell me, do you want to bankrupt me?"

"I just don't understand. When did you become so disobedient? You even dared to fight with others. Aren't you the president of the student union? How can someone like you be qualified to be a student union cadre?!"

Li Hao looked aggrieved, tears welling up on his face: "Dad, it was someone else who beat your son, not your son who fought, okay?"

"Don't you always say you're a Taekwondo expert?" Li Mingjiang said sarcastically, "And you got beaten into a pig's head?"

"Forget it, just say less. It's good enough as long as the problem is solved." Zhai Jing advised.

Li Mingjiang always obeyed his wife's words. Hearing this, he sighed and sat down on the chair with sweat still on his forehead.

Zhai Jing wiped his sweat gently, saying, "As long as the matter is resolved satisfactorily, that's all that matters."

She turned her head and said softly to her son, "Xiaohao, from now on you must learn your lesson and avoid causing trouble. You must know that there are always people better than you. Your classmate is not someone we can afford to offend. He and you have no grudge against each other. Even if he is a bully at school, you should not stand up for others!"

"Don't blame me for this, Mom. I always listened to you. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been beaten like this and humiliated so much. How can you let me have the face to go back to school?" Li Hao sobbed.

Life was too smooth for Li Hao. He was not like Tang Xiaobao who became more courageous after setbacks. One blow almost made him mentally collapse, and he could not help complaining at this moment.

"Listen to us?" Li Mingjiang glared and was about to get angry again.

"Didn't you ask me to get along well with Zheng Dong?" Li Hao said aggrievedly.

"Zheng Dong?" Li Mingjiang was stunned. "The Zheng Dong in the city?"

Li Hao nodded.

Zhai Jing frowned and asked, "Why are you involved with Zheng Dong again? Are you standing up for Zheng Dong?"

"That's right."

Only then did Li Hao carefully explain the matter between Tang Xiaobao and Luo Ya.

After hearing his son's words, Li Mingjiang looked at Zhai Jing and asked, "What do you think we should do about this?"

"I think we should not get involved in this matter for now. I believe that the Zheng family will take action sooner or later. You and I both know Zheng Dong's character. He is not someone who is willing to suffer losses." Zhai Jing thought for a while and expressed his opinion.

Li Mingjiang nodded and warned his son again: "Don't get involved in this matter. Study hard. The college entrance examination is coming up in a few days. Try to get into a good university and don't let us down."

Li Hao was extremely depressed, but he didn't dare to disobey his parents. He bit his lip and said nothing.

…

When Tang Xiaobao returned to school, he received a bombshell piece of news.

Someone disclosed on the forum that Tang Xiaobao was taken to the police station. The circumstances of his entry were clearly described, but the details of his release were very vague.
