Ye Feng was speechless for a moment.
Sun Shangxiang's attitude was hard for him to understand. Before, she wanted him to get involved in fighting against Lao Liu, but now she hoped he wouldn't interfere.
However, at this moment, Sun Shangxiang was worried about him.
"Old Liu's matter is inextricably linked to me," Ye Feng said firmly. "What will you do if I leave now?"
“I can handle it myself,” Sun Shangxiang said firmly.
"We agreed to shoulder this together, I can't just leave like this, otherwise, I'd be a coward." Ye Feng wouldn't budge an inch.
Sun Shangxiang's expression changed, and her tone became sharp: "Don't you understand what I'm saying?! My affairs are none of your business! You're nobody to me, so there's no need for you to come here and meddle in my affairs! Get lost!"
She turned her head away in a huff, refusing to look at Ye Feng again.
Ye Feng handed the apple back to Sun Shangxiang, "Don't be angry, have an apple."
"I won't eat! I told you to leave!" Sun Shangxiang's voice was muffled.
"If you don't eat, I won't leave. I'm just staying here today." Ye Feng's tone was joking, but his eyes were very serious.
"Do you even understand what I mean?" Sun Shangxiang practically shouted.
“I understand,” Ye Feng looked at her, his tone softening. “You’re worried about me. But I can’t ignore this. I’ve heard a lot about what happened to Lao Liu. I’m not comfortable letting you deal with him alone.”
Ye Feng's persistence finally made Sun Shangxiang soften.
She took the apple and took a bite.
The reason I wanted Ye Feng to leave was because I was grateful for his care over the past two days and didn't want to involve him.
Ye Feng's words put her at ease, and she was relieved that she hadn't misjudged him.
But at that moment, a roar rang out from outside the ward, startling everyone inside.
"You slut! How dare you keep a gigolo behind my back!"
Sun Shangxiang's face turned deathly pale instantly, and she shoved Ye Feng violently, shouting, "Run! Run!"
This unexpected turn of events surprised Ye Feng, but he quickly realized that the owner of the voice was most likely Old Liu.
Sun Shangxiang tried to get out of bed in a panic, but the movement aggravated her wound, causing her to gasp in pain.
The ward door was pushed open, and a burly man strode in aggressively; it was Old Liu.
His face was contorted with rage as he pointed at Sun Shangxiang on the hospital bed. "Fine! I've been waiting for you all this time, and I've finally caught you! Adulterous couple!"
Old Liu's appearance made the other patients and their families in the ward feel uneasy, and they all cast curious or fearful glances at him.
Ye Feng stood up and blocked Sun Shangxiang's way, staring directly at Old Liu, his tone icy, "Watch your mouth, this is my sister."
Ye Feng's tall figure blocked Old Liu's view.
Old Liu sized Ye Feng up and down, seeing that he didn't seem like a pushover, but still mocked him, "Sister Qing? Ha! When did you two get together?"
Ye Feng sneered, "Looks like you have a bad memory. Last time in the finance department, I interrupted your good time."
Old Liu thought carefully for a moment and finally remembered the guy who ruined his plans. "Aren't you Qin Xiaoran's boyfriend? What's your name, Yu?"
At this moment, Liu Jianli followed in and whispered in Old Liu's ear, "Cousin, he is Ye Feng, that troublemaker from the security department."
"Ye Feng?!" Old Liu suddenly realized. "Ha, the company has already suspended you, and you're still refusing to leave?"
Power had made Lao Liu accustomed to being high and mighty, and arrogant towards everyone.
He planned to be promoted to department head, earning a million-dollar annual salary, so naturally he couldn't afford to have any blemishes in his life.
Therefore, he could not accept Sun Shangxiang's proposal to leave with nothing or resign from her job.
Now that he sees Ye Feng, he is convinced that it was Ye Feng who gave Sun Shangxiang the confidence to be so assertive.
Ye Feng simply looked at him quietly without saying a word.
Old Liu's anger burned brighter and brighter; he felt he had been provoked.
He narrowed his eyes and glared fiercely at Ye Feng. "You little brat, Ye Feng, you dare to ruin my plans? I'll teach you a lesson today!"
Old Liu was a burly man, and his punches were powerful and swift.
Sun Shangxiang exclaimed, "Ye Feng, watch out!"
Old Liu was even more furious after hearing Sun Shangxiang's reminder.
He was even more furious that Sun Shangxiang was siding with outsiders. Old Liu's fist became even more ferocious, heading straight for Ye Feng's face.
Ye Feng didn't want to get entangled with him in a hospital ward.
He fought and retreated, parrying Old Liu's attacks.
He judged that although Lao Liu looked big and burly, he was actually quite capable and not just a complete brute.
Ye Feng pondered how to escape quickly.
Just then, two hospital security guards arrived after hearing the commotion.
Ye Feng seized the opportunity, feigning an opening to lure Lao Liu close. Once Lao Liu was near, Ye Feng delivered a backhand punch, striking Lao Liu squarely in the abdomen.
Old Liu grunted and staggered back. Ye Feng was also knocked back two steps.
"Security, take him away! He started it!" Ye Feng said, pointing at Old Liu.
“Yes, he attacked first!” Sun Shangxiang added.
Two security guards stepped forward and asked Lao Liu to leave.
Old Liu clutched his stomach, his face grim: "It's my wife who's in the hospital! Why should I leave?"
Sun Shangxiang said coldly, "We are currently in the process of finalizing our divorce. Please respect my wishes and leave."
Seeing that Lao Liu still refused to cooperate, the security guard took out his walkie-talkie: "Calling the police station, there is a dispute in the ward, requesting backup."
Liu Jianli and the others panicked immediately, "Cousin..."
Old Liu cursed, but ultimately backed down, "Fine! I won't cause trouble, but I won't leave! I'll tell her about the divorce, okay?"
He turned to Sun Shangxiang, adopting a fawning expression: "Wife, look, let's not pursue this matter for now. Whatever conditions you want, we can discuss them."
Sun Shangxiang sneered: "The family fortune will be divided equally between us."
"That's impossible!" Old Liu refused without even thinking, and then tried to take action.
He raised his hand as if to hit Sun Shangxiang.
Ye Feng reacted quickly, grabbing Lao Liu's wrist and twisting it forcefully.
Old Liu cried out in pain.
"You'd better not touch her." Ye Feng's tone was icy, his eyes sharp as knives.
Old Liu was both shocked and furious. This Ye Feng dared to stop him time and time again.
He glared fiercely at Sun Shangxiang: "Don't be so stubborn! If this goes to court, you won't get a single penny!"
Ye Feng released Lao Liu's hand and said firmly, "Then let the court decide!"
Sun Shangxiang sneered: "Yes, then see you in court!"
The people in the ward were at loggerheads, and the atmosphere was tense.
But then footsteps came from outside the ward, and then the door was pushed open.
Yang Yunqing, wearing a white coat, walked in, looking somewhat haggard. Several nurses followed behind her, pushing medical equipment.
Yang Yunqing's appearance eased the tense atmosphere slightly.
She immediately spotted the three people facing off, as well as the panicked patients and their families around them.
