Chapter 30 Broken Leg
During the Three Kingdoms period, Suzhou and Hangzhou belonged to the Wu region. Since then, a saying has been circulating here: "In the land of Jiangdong, there is no place stronger than Zhou and Chen."
Although nearly two thousand years have passed, among the four major families in Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions, there is still one with the surname Zhou and one with the surname Shen.
The four major families in Jiangsu and Zhejiang may have some gaps in financial background compared to the five major families in Yanjing, but in the areas of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, they are the deeply rooted local tyrants.
Shen Silan is the biological daughter of Shen Zongwan, the old man of the Shen family. Because she insisted on marrying Zhang Jiping, a Phoenix man whom Shen Zongwan did not like, Shen Zongwan kicked her out of the Shen family.
But how can there be any overnight hatred between father and daughter?
After a long time, Shen Zongwan tacitly accepted the relationship between the two.
With the help of the Shen family, Shen Silan and Zhang Jiping's careers also began to flourish.
Shen Silan had just returned home with her husband Zhang Jiping in the evening when they received a call from someone claiming to be from the Hengzhan Police Station, saying that her son Zhang Yulun had been in a car accident.
After confirming the truth of the incident, Shen Silan hurriedly rushed to Hengzhan with her husband and others.
When the couple arrived at Hengzhan Hospital, the doctor had just finished rescuing Zhang Yuluan.
As soon as the doctor left the operating room, Shen Silan, accompanied by the police, immediately stepped forward and asked, “How is my son?”
The attending physician looked at Shen Silan in surprise and said, “Your son is still in a deep coma because of a severe blow to the brain.”
Shen Silan is already in her fifties this year, but because of proper maintenance, she looks no different from someone in her forties, so the doctor was surprised at Shen Silan's age.
"When will he wake up?" Shen Silan asked.
"I don't know," the attending physician replied. "Your son's condition is very complicated right now. It's hard to say when he'll regain consciousness. He might wake up tomorrow, or he might remain in this state for the rest of his life."
Shen Silan felt dizzy and was helped by Zhang Jiping beside her so that she did not collapse to the ground.
She naturally understood what the doctor said, that her only son would most likely become a vegetable in the future!
Shen Silan calmed down and looked through the glass of the ICU at Zhang Yulun, who was still connected to an oxygen tube. She asked the police officer beside her, "What exactly happened? How could my son get into a car accident when he was fine?"
"We rushed to the scene right after receiving the alarm," said the portly police officer who had been following Shen Silan and her husband. "After a preliminary investigation, we found that your son drove his car directly out of the hotel parking lot, broke through the barrier, and crashed directly into the back wall of a supermarket across the street."
The fat policeman was the small chief of the Hengzhan police station. At first, he thought that the person in the car accident was just a star, so he didn't take it seriously and just sent two of his men to deal with it.
Unexpectedly, not long after, the city police chief called him personally and asked him to fully cooperate with the other party's family.
Although the fat policeman was not very smart, he understood what this meant.
Many people would think that this is a rare opportunity, and if they perform well, they might get support from their superiors and go further.
However, the fat policeman didn't think so. He just felt that this was a thankless task.
He now only hopes to properly send this pair of Bodhisattvas away. His temple is too small and he really can't afford to support them!
"Has my son been drinking?" Shen Silan thought for a moment and looked up and asked.
"No," the fat policeman replied. "The doctor has tested your son's blood and there's no alcohol in it."
Shen Silan frowned, and just as she was about to continue asking questions, the phone in her hand rang.
Shen Silan had no intention of answering any calls at the moment, but when she saw the phone number clearly, she immediately picked it up.
"Yuqi?"
"Aunt." A man's voice came from the phone receiver. He spoke in the Suzhou and Hangzhou dialect, a deep and magnetic voice. "I heard my cousin was in trouble. Grandpa asked me to come and see him. I'm already in Hengzhan. Where are you now?"
“Yeah.” Shen Silan said, “I’m in the intensive care unit of Hengzhan Hospital now.”
"I'll be there in two minutes."
Two minutes later, a young man in a suit appeared in the hospital's intensive care unit with a middle-aged man.
When Shen Silan saw the young man, she immediately stood up and walked over, saying, "Yuqi, you're here."
"Aunt, how is my cousin doing now?" Shen Yuqi asked.
“The doctor said he’s likely to become a vegetable.” Shen Silan replied, “And there’s something wrong with this.”
"What's the problem?"
Then, Shen Silan told Zhang Yulun that he had not drunk any alcohol, and what she had just learned from the fat policeman, that the hotel parking lot surveillance had been destroyed.
Shen Yuqi thought for a moment and said to Shen Silan, "Don't worry, aunt. I'll handle this matter. If someone is really behind this, I'll avenge my cousin."
While the two were talking, Shen Silan's husband Zhang Jiping stood aside, but the young man never looked at the other person, let alone communicated.
…………
Although Hengzhan Hotel had dealt with the death immediately, the news still spread at an alarming speed.
While having breakfast at the hotel, Lu Wanqi and Xiao Ran learned the news of Zhang Yuluan's death.
After being sad for a while, the two of them completely put the matter behind them. After all, Zhang Yuluan was only slightly better than a stranger to them.
At noon that day, the crew of Lu Wanqi's new drama officially arrived in Hengzhan to start filming.
Tang Shuo and Xiao Ran stayed with Lu Wanqi for two more days before planning to return to Yanjing.
During this period, Xiao Ran asked Lu Wanqi several times to confess her feelings to Tang Shuo in person, but the shy Lu Wanqi never made up her mind. In the end, she threatened Xiao Ran not to tell anyone by using their many years of sisterhood.
To be honest, Xiao Ran was not optimistic about Tang Shuo and Lu Wanqi falling in love.
Lu Wanqi's mind is too simple, and she is definitely not compatible with a scheming man like Tang Shuo. If the two of them were really together, Lu Wanqi would definitely be the one who got hurt in the end.
After saying goodbye to Lu Wanqi, Tang Shuo and Xiao Ran drove to the airport.
As soon as the taxi drove out of the Hengzhan area, it was forced to stop on the side of the road by several Mercedes-Benz cars.
The taxi driver had never seen such a scene before. He thought he was being held up as several men in black stepped out of the Mercedes-Benz. The driver took out all his morning sales, rolled down the window, and said to them, "Here's all the money I have. Please don't hurt me."
Without even glancing at the driver, several men in black walked to the back seat of the car. One of them, a man with a beard, stepped forward and said to Tang Shuo in the car, "Tang Shuo? Our young master has something he wants to consult you about."
Tang Shuo pursed his lips, stroking the stubble on his chin and asked, "Who is your young master?"
The bearded man in black replied indifferently, "Chen Yuqi."
Tang Shuo shook his head and said, "I don't know him."
He discovered yesterday that someone was following him, so he thought that the background of Zhang Yulun, whom he had casually dealt with, must be complicated.
He was rather hasty when dealing with Zhang Yulun, and he ignored several obvious loopholes. It was understandable that he was found by the other party.
However, those few loopholes alone were not enough for the other party to confirm that he was the one who did it. So they were only suspecting him now, and they had no evidence.
"Please come with us." The bearded man said again, but his tone had become tougher.
"Okay, but it better be quick. I have a plane to catch." Tang Shuo got out of the car, turned around and said to Xiao Ran in the car with a smile: "Go to the airport and wait for me. I'll be there soon."
Xiao Ran looked at Tang Shuo's leaving figure and suddenly wanted to catch up with him to see what was going on.
Who were these men in black? Who was that person called Shen Yuqi? What exactly did they want from Tang Shuo?
Her mind was full of questions.
At this time, Xiao Ran seemed to understand why Lu Wanqi fell in love with Tang Shuo.
This man is like a wonderful storybook.
Until you turn to the next page, you never know what kind of surprise will appear next.
…………
After driving for half an hour, the Mercedes-Benz stopped in front of an independent villa in the suburbs of Linzhou City, to which Hengzhan belongs.
After Tang Shuo got off the car, the bearded man in black said to him, "Come in, our young master is waiting for you."
Tang Shuo smiled coldly and walked straight in.
The decoration of the villa is very luxurious, and all the furniture are of high quality.
When Tang Shuo entered, a young man in casual clothes was sitting on the sofa in the living room, teasing a purebred Corgi.
Seeing Tang Shuo coming in, the young man raised his head and said, "You must be Tang Shuo."
"Are you Chen Yuqi? Are you looking for me?" Tang Shuo plopped down on the sofa and asked, "If you have something to say, please tell me quickly. I have a flight to catch."
"You did what happened to my cousin Zhang Yulun, didn't you?" Shen Yuqi didn't seem to be annoyed by Tang Shuo's rudeness. He said calmly, "Although he is not a member of our Shen family, he is also related to our Shen family. I don't care what grudges have occurred between you two. What you did was a bit too much."
"Zhang Yulun? The Shen family?" Tang Shuo pretended to be dumb, "What's going on?"
"Although the surveillance in the hotel parking lot was destroyed, the surveillance in other places is intact, so it's easy to find some clues." Shen Yuqi explained: "According to the surveillance in the hotel corridor, you had contact with my cousin, and you also had time to commit the crime."
"Are you a police officer?"
"I'm not a policeman, but I'm more useful than a policeman." Shen Yuqi replied.
Tang Shuo changed his posture and leaned back on the sofa, then asked playfully, "How are you more useful than a police officer?"
"You should be thankful that I've never really liked my uncle and cousin, so I decided to leave you a chance to live." Shen Yuqi waved at the bearded man standing behind Tang Shuo and said, "Break both of his legs and throw him out."
