Therefore, at this moment, both of them treated Chen Ningsheng as a stranger. Zhao Lanzhi even thought that Chen Ningsheng was Xu Xinchen's secret lover: "I know, you're here to stand up for this brat's lover, right? What exactly is your relationship with this brat? You're helping her like this, what benefits has she given you?"

Xu Xinchen interrupted Zhao Lanzhi with a cold laugh, saying loudly, "Just now you were calling me Min Shi, and now you keep cursing me as a brat. Is this how you want me to let your daughter go? I think you'd rather your daughter die sooner, wouldn't you?"

Zhao Lanzhi's face instantly turned ugly after Xu Xinchen's words. Her struggles became even more frantic, and she kept reaching out her long-fingered hands to grab Chen Ningsheng and make him let her go.

"You brat, you're a brat! We've raised you for so many years, and once you start working, you completely forget about home. It's one thing to send your salary home, but now you're even trying to kill your own sister. You've really come to our Lu family to collect a debt!"

As she spoke, Zhao Lanzhi suddenly pointed the gun at Lu Zhenjun: "Lu Zhenjun! Look at your good daughter! Your good daughter wants to harm our family, and she'll be happy if she destroys our happy family into pieces."

Seeing Lu Zhenjun standing there without saying a word, Zhao Lanzhi's anger flared even more: "Lu Zhenjun! Are you a dead man? Both of you are about to be killed by this wretched girl, and you're still so indifferent!"

Lu Zhenjun moved his lips, and after a long while, he murmured, "Min Shi, Shuangshuang was just being immature. Otherwise, let's just let this matter go."

Xu Xinchen's eyes were filled with disappointment: "Dad, did you hear what she just said? She cursed at me."

"That brat, and she insulted me like that right in front of you! Why did you pretend you didn't hear her?"

Lu Zhenjun lowered his head and remained silent, while Zhao Lanzhi beside him chuckled coldly, her voice full of sarcasm: "I was speaking to you so politely just now, but you were unwilling to reach an agreement with me. What can I do? I can only scold you to vent my anger."

Xu Xinchen completely ignored Zhao Lanzhi and stared straight at Lu Zhenjun: "Dad, what are you saying? Do you think of me the same way? Do you think I'm the one who wants to ruin our family and make us never have peace again?"

Lu Zhenjun didn't speak, lowering his head even further, seemingly acquiescing to Xu Xinchen's words. This caused Xu Xinchen to feel a wave of disappointment, and a slight pain welled up deep in her heart. Xu Xinchen didn't know if this was the original owner's consciousness left behind, or if she herself felt sorry for the original owner.

When Chen Ningsheng saw Zhao Lanzhi bullying Xu Xinchen like this, he couldn't stand it. He raised his hand and pulled Zhao Lanzhi aside, strangling her neck. A small red mark appeared, causing Zhao Lanzhi to cough incessantly as she stood there.

After leaving Zhao Lanzhi aside, Chen Ningsheng immediately went to Xu Xinchen's side, took Xu Xinchen's hand, and said to Lu Zhenjun and Zhao Lanzhi, "You two, that's enough. Min Shi is still a patient. Don't push your luck here. We can talk about it later."

"What do you mean 'we'll talk about it later'!" Zhao Lanzhi, now free, went berserk and tried to rush forward to grab Xu Xinchen: "I want her to give me a guarantee right now, otherwise, when my dear daughter comes back, will she even have a chance to live? She'll be tortured to death by you bunch of bastards!"

As Zhao Lanzhi approached the hospital bed, Chen Ningsheng gently kicked her in the stomach. Zhao Lanzhi clutched her stomach, squatted down, and cried out in pain several times.

"I told you not to come near, so you'd better not come near, otherwise I won't hold back when I make a move." Chen Ningsheng looked at Zhao Lanzhi, his voice as cold as ice.

Zhao Lanzhi clutched her stomach and groaned a few times, muttering things like she was going to call the police. Chen Ningsheng grew impatient and pressed the call button next to the hospital bed.

Upon hearing the bell, the nurse and doctor rushed to the ward. When they entered the ward, Chen Ningsheng asked the doctor to check on Xu Xinchen's condition, as he was worried that Xu Xinchen might develop some health problems due to her stepmother's anger.

After the doctor left, he turned to the nurse and said, "Nurse, could you please go downstairs and get security to come up? There's a crazy woman here who keeps disturbing the patients' rest."

Zhao Lanzhi was stunned by Chen Ningsheng's words about her being a crazy woman. After regaining her senses, she immediately acted like a mad dog, trying to pounce on Chen Ningsheng and scratch him.

Seeing this, several nurses stood in front of Zhao Lanzhi, trying to control her. They were right, as Mr. Chen had said; this woman really did look like a madwoman.

Zhao Lanzhi had no idea what the nurses thought of her. She was still yelling at Chen Ningsheng: "You wild boy, come here! You dare to call me a crazy woman just to protect a shameless little slut! You shameless adulterous couple!"

Chen Ningsheng's eyes grew colder and colder. After Zhao Lanzhi uttered the words "adulterous couple," Chen Ningsheng sneered, stepped forward, grabbed Zhao Lanzhi's wrist, and restrained her. He then said to the nurses beside him, "Go down and find security, and call the police for me while you're at it."

The nurse quickly nodded to Chen Ningsheng and ran downstairs. When she came back up, behind her...

Two strong security guards have already joined them.

Seeing this, Zhao Lanzhi struggled even more fiercely, but the two security guards completely ignored her struggles and walked over to control her movements from both sides.

When Chen Ningsheng saw that Zhao Lanzhi was being controlled by security guards, he didn't say anything, but went back and moved a chair to sit next to Xu Xinchen.

The doctor was still examining Xu Xinchen when he saw Chen Ningsheng approaching. He nodded gently to Chen Ningsheng and said, "Nothing abnormal has been found yet, but if possible, it's best not to let these people disturb the patient too often, otherwise problems can easily arise."

Chen Ningsheng replied, "I understand, doctor. Don't worry, it won't happen again after today."

Lu Zhenjun had been standing by watching since the beginning. When he saw Zhao Lanzhi being restrained by security guards, he hesitated for a while. After a long while, he walked over to Xu Xinchen and Chen Ningsheng and said, "Min Shi, you should let her go. After all, she is your stepmother."
