For a moment, the ward was silent, and even the bodyguard who had just brought in the phone was stunned.
Mrs. Dong looked at the frantic Chen Xu in disbelief. It seemed as if he possessed a ruthlessness she had never seen before. Somehow, she suddenly remembered Chen Zirong. She walked to the man's bedside with concern, took his trembling hands, and asked:
"Xu'er, what you just said is true!"
"Why would I lie to you? Otherwise, she wouldn't have canceled the cooperation even though the Dong family made such a big news! What do you think it was? Now look, everything is messed up! Are you satisfied this time?"
Chen Xu was still furious, not at all melted by the woman's tenderness. He seemed like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins, and everyone who approached him would be affected by his anger.
"Discharge! I want to be discharged!" Chen Xu slammed the phone in his hand to the floor and roared.
It was also the first time that Mrs. Dong faced such an angry man, and she was at a loss for a moment.
Dong Siqing secretly hid under the quilt of the bed and sent a message to Helian Rui. She was really scared. When she learned that the man was on the way to the hospital, the girl finally breathed a sigh of relief, but she still did not dare to show her head. She was trembling and crying under the quilt.
Helian Rui and Daisy rushed over quickly. No one knew what had happened in between. There were obvious slap marks on the woman's face. It was not difficult to see how much strength the attacker had used; half of her face was bulging, and there were traces of blood in the corners of her eyes.
"Why can't I see the wonderful fiancée you found for me? After causing such a big mess, she seems to be hiding away and feeling relieved."
"Xu'er, how do you know that it was Lillian who kidnapped Su Yu?"
Chen Xu sneered, pulled out the photo Lillian had sent her from her phone, and showed it to the two people in front of her. He said sarcastically, "The person you're attracted to is really bold and cunning! I've been lying low for so long, but her thoughtless actions have ruined everything I've accomplished. Mr. Chen, I think you're nothing but a traitor despite your constant claims of revenge. Regardless of whether you're truly my grandfather, I think our relationship has truly ended. I don't want to pursue the details of my father's death. So, I won't interfere in your affairs from now on."
Noticing that the two men's expressions had relaxed a little, Chen Xu still refused to give in. He pretended to be extremely disappointed and turned his attention to the pitiful Mrs. Dong who was standing beside him.
"Mother, you've seen it too! I've been putting my life on the line for the promise I made to Mr. Chen, but in the end, that self-proclaimed grandfather gave me such a big surprise. So, from now on, just treat Xu'er as an unfilial son. I'm leaving the hospital and severing all ties with the Dong family."
No one present had expected Chen Xu's severance of ties with his friends. The first person to express resistance was naturally Mrs. Dong. She held the man's hand tightly, with a pleading look in her eyes, but after thinking for a long time, she didn't say a word.
Finally, he turned to look at the man at the door, his face filled with sorrow, and began to persuade him, "Foster father, why are you doing this? Please stop making things difficult for Xu'er. He promised you revenge for his father, why didn't you believe it? Do you really want to force him to die like Brother Zirong to prove his innocence?"
Snap—a loud slapping sound was heard.
"Shut up! Chen Qiuzhi! Just shut up!"
Mrs. Dong, who was stunned, finally reacted and realized that she had just said something because she was too excited. She ignored the pain on her face and quickly stopped the topic.
"Mr. Chen, if you want to discipline your daughter, don't act so pretentiously in front of me. Hitting a woman is something only a useless person would do. Don't you want revenge? Well, then I might as well tell you that there was still a fish that escaped the fire. The Fu family has already found out the truth, and that gangster has long been protected by Fu Linxiao. Do you think you have hidden your identity well? If I hadn't intervened, you would have been caught and killed by them!"
"You, how do you know?" Helian Rui was shocked by what the man said again, and what had happened recently gradually became clear to him.
"Oh, I know more than that. You poisoned the descendants of the Dongfang family. Did you think you did it perfectly? Can't you figure out why the father and son can coexist peacefully without triggering the poison? That's because they saw through your tricks long ago. You thought you had been strategizing all these years, but in fact, you have been exposed to everyone. I didn't tell you this before because I wanted to wait until I had resolved all the hatred and then tell it to you and father at the same time, so that you wouldn't have to worry about me. But I didn't expect that I would always think about you, but you would still trip me up in secret. Good! Good! You really are my good grandfather! Since you are so confident, I will leave the rest to you. I don't care!"
Helian Rui never thought that everything he had done had been investigated thoroughly. No wonder there had always been inexplicable accidents around him recently, and even the doctor had disappeared without a trace. Now after Chen Xu mentioned it, it all made sense. He thought he had done everything quietly, but it turned out that he was the stupidest person.
"Who told you that?"
Helian Rui's voice trembled as he looked at Chen Xu in front of him in disbelief, as if he had just truly met him.
"Who needs to tell me this? I promised you that I would definitely make all the necessary preparations, but I never thought you would be so stupid!"
As soon as Chen Xu finished speaking, the room fell silent; no one had expected that Chen Xu would be forced to say such outrageous words. Just as Mrs. Dong was about to defend her man and get Helian Rui's forgiveness, she heard a low laugh in her ears, and the owner of the laugh was Helian Rui, whom they usually did not dare to disobey.
"Hahaha, you're worthy of being a descendant of the Helian family. You're much smarter than your father! Siqing, you should learn from your brother! Xu'er, it was grandpa's fault before, so please forgive me! To make up for it, how about giving you a gift?"
If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, no one would have believed that the man before them, who had just been insulted and still looked guilty, was none other than the ruthless Helian Rui. Even Mrs. Daisy looked at him with a look of astonishment, daring not to speak. But Chen Xu remained unmoved, determined not to be associated with him again.
"No, I've already said it, I won't ask about these things anymore!"
"It's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding! I've already punished your Aunt Daisy, and you'll definitely like this gift!"
Helian Rui still maintained a calm attitude and tried his best to please Chen Xu. Now he had already determined in his heart that Chen Xu was capable of helping him. After all, he himself was not aware of all the things just mentioned. Moreover, the power behind him was slowly disintegrating. If he continued to go forward in such a desperate manner, the outcome would definitely be no good.
Seeing that the play was almost over and had achieved the desired effect, Chen Xu finally began to relax and pretended to be curious and sneered at Helian Rui, "Now that you mention it, I'm curious!"
Helian Rui saw that Chen Xu's expression had relaxed a little, so he hurried forward, leaned over and whispered a few words in his ear. Chen Xu's face actually showed a bit of joy when he heard it.
