Chapter 75 They have guns! This group suddenly appeared...
The group of people who suddenly appeared were all tall and strong. Apart from the leader who spoke, the rest of them stood to the side with straight faces and did not even change their posture.
Mingxi's heart skipped a beat. Unlike the troublemakers she had encountered before, this group was clearly well-trained and much more difficult to deal with.
Mingxi looked warily at the group of people in front of her, who were also staring at her.
Several subordinates glanced at Mingxi, then at their boss, their eyes filled with questions: What do we do now?
Mingxi was not part of their original plan.
The man in the lead glanced furtively at his assistant, A-Feng, who had led Cao Guangping and the other two over, but he didn't see A-Feng give any instructions.
He gritted his teeth. Although Mingxi wasn't part of their plan, they were here today to take Cao Guangping's life. Once Mingxi saw their faces, they would definitely not let her go.
Thinking this, the leading man bypassed Cao Guangping and walked towards Mingxi. He planned to deal with Mingxi, this passerby, first, and then deal with Cao Guangping according to the plan.
Mingxi clenched her fists, preparing to strike the man as soon as he got a little closer.
"Damn it, I'm just down on my luck right now, it's not like I'll always be like this. Those bastards don't even acknowledge me. Fortune changes every thirty years, and when I rise again, those bastards will be groveling before me!"
Just as tensions were rising, a man's voice suddenly came from the alley behind Mingxi. Upon hearing this voice, the group of people opposite Mingxi became tense.
The man walking towards Mingxi turned back, his eyes flashing fiercely at his assistant, Afeng. What was going on?!
It wasn't enough that one strange woman appeared; now there's another one.
Ah Feng said he had already instructed people to keep watch outside and guard the alley entrance so that no one else could come in, right?
Ah Feng didn't expect anyone to come in. He frowned, his eyebrows forming a deep frown.
However, a glimmer of hope ignited in Cao Guangping and Bai Shuzhen's eyes, hoping that the person who came could save them.
Amidst the mixed gazes of the two groups, a man slowly walked into the alley. He swayed his head and walked with unsteady steps, looking drunk.
As soon as he appeared, his gaze fell on Mingxi.
"Hehe, Mingxi? What are you doing here, you little bitch? Oh, I get it, it must be because I'm drunk now, so everyone looks like that little bitch Mingxi!"
He craned his neck, pointed at Mingxi, and answered his own question.
Mingxi's taut face almost crumbled. Wait, how did Shen Mo end up here?
The drunken Shen Mo then saw the other people in the alley. The knife in the hand of the leading man gleamed coldly in the moonlight. Shen Mo's drunkenness dissipated by most of it, and he let out a loud "Aow!"
"Who are you people, and what are you doing!"
The leader, annoyed by Shen Mo's loud shouts and fearing it might cause unnecessary trouble, waved to his underlings and said, "Gag him."
Shen Mo wasn't stupid. He could tell these people were not to be trifled with, so he quickly rubbed his hands together and begged for mercy: "Big brother, big brother, please don't mind me. I was just passing by. Please pretend you didn't see me and let me go. Don't worry, I'll definitely keep my mouth shut when I get back and won't say anything out of line."
The man in the lead frowned: "What are you all standing there for? Quickly gag him!"
What a fussy, nagging man!
Upon hearing the order, the henchman quickly stepped forward and gagged Shen Mo. He also tied Shen Mo's hands and feet.
At this moment, Bai Shuzhen finally realized that something was wrong.
This group seems to be involved in more than just robbery.
She fearfully clung to Cao Guangping's arm, whispering, "Guangping..."
Cao Guangping was also flustered, but seeing that the person in front of him had not yet made a move against him, he thought with a glimmer of hope that things might still be negotiable.
He stepped forward, cleared his throat, and said, "Friends, you should know who I am, right? I am Cao Guangping, the president of Meilin Group. I can give you as much money as you want. Just name your price, and I'll have someone get it for you right away. As long as you let me go back safely, I'll give you whatever it takes. Don't worry, I will absolutely not report you to the police after you leave."
Upon hearing this, the leader burst out laughing, and his henchmen behind him also joined in the laughter.
How much could Cao Guangping give them? They'll only get more after Cao Guangping dies.
Cao Guangping wiped his face. It seemed that these people had already received real benefits, and just listening to him wouldn't sway them.
He turned to his assistant and said, "Ah Feng, come here, you talk to them for me. I can give them whatever amount they want."
Ah Feng scoffed, "Sir, I'm afraid you can't afford it."
Cao Guangping was in a bad mood. Although he had already figured out from A-Feng's reaction that he had betrayed him, he still felt a surge of anger when he heard A-Feng speak so rudely.
"Ah Feng, how dare you talk to me like that?! How could you do this to me? Don't forget, if it weren't for my training, you'd still be a menial intern, how could you become the president's assistant who gets whatever you want in the company? Now you've betrayed me, how can you face your conscience?!"
Ah Feng: "Sir, Ah Feng will never forget this kindness. Ah Feng remembers clearly that it was thanks to President Chen's pity that I was able to have food to eat and survive. It was also thanks to President Chen's pity that I was able to grow up and join the group smoothly."
The "Chen" he mentioned was Chen Meilin, the deceased wife of Cao Guangping.
Cao Guangping choked.
Ah Feng was indeed taken home by Chen Meilin. Chen Meilin was kind-hearted, and whenever she encountered homeless children without parents, she would instruct her subordinates to send them to the welfare home under the Chen family's name. The welfare home under the Chen family's name was dedicated to providing these children with education, and after they graduated, those with excellent grades would be arranged to work at the headquarters of the Meilin Group.
That's how Afeng was assigned to the headquarters. However, not long after he joined the company, Chen Meilin suddenly fell ill and passed away. Then, Cao Guangping took over the company at the headquarters.
He didn't want to use Chen Meilin's subordinates, so he specially picked Ah Feng from the new recruits who had just joined the company to be his assistant.
Cao Guangping thought that by choosing a newcomer, he could get rid of Chen Meilin's influence. He never expected that the person he carefully selected would still be thinking about Chen Meilin's kindness.
He felt utterly defeated and asked with a sullen face, "So your betrayal of me today was also arranged by Chen Meilin?"
He pointed at the group of burly men and asked, "Were these also arranged by Chen Meilin?"
Cao Guangping snorted coldly, already convinced that Chen Meilin was behind it all. He had thought it was his two good-for-nothing sons who had done it, but he had wronged them.
Cao Guangping grew angrier the more he thought about it, and said bitterly, "I knew it! I knew that woman wouldn't let me off so easily! She wouldn't even let me go in death, and she wouldn't allow me to betray her and marry someone else. That heartless woman, she wants me to go down to the underworld to join her, doesn't she!"
He firmly believed that all of this was an arrangement left by Chen Meilin before her death, and while he felt resentful, he also felt a hint of smugness that was not easily noticed.
There's really no way around it; Cao Guangping's charm is just too great. Chen Meilin loves him so much that she can't let him go, even if it means death.
Mingxi vaguely sensed the smugness emanating from Cao Guangping, and she remained silent.
No, there's nothing to be proud of!
Ah Feng clearly hadn't expected Cao Guangping's imagination to be so wild. He didn't want his respected President Chen to be blamed for someone else's death, so he decided to let Cao Guangping die knowing why.
He said, "Master, you're overthinking it. It was the second and third young masters who instructed me to come and see you off."
Ah Feng remembered Chen Meilin's kindness. After Chen Meilin's death, he sought refuge with Chen Meilin's sons, Cao Guangping's second and third sons. His selection as Cao Guangping's assistant was also due to their help.
Ah Feng was assigned to Cao Guangping's side to keep an eye on Cao Guangping's every move. The moment Cao Guangping was about to marry Bai Shuzhen, Ah Feng reported the matter to Hong Kong, and Cao Guangping's second and third sons immediately learned of the news.
Cao Guangping's two sons originally had no objection to Cao Guangping's close relationship with Bai Shuzhen.
Men, it's okay to date and play around with women, what's wrong with that?
Even if Chen Meilin were still alive, let alone now that he's gone, they wouldn't think this is a big deal.
As for the things Cao Guangping gave Bai Shuzhen, they didn't care. They were just some jewelry and bags; how much money could those be worth? They spent far more on a single meal than those things.
But it's different if Cao Guangping wants to marry Bai Shuzhen.
If they get married and become a legal couple, then Bai Shuzhen will be entitled to compete with them for the shares under Cao Guangping's name.
This is tantamount to cutting flesh off them!
In fact, Cao Guangping hadn't thought of this. Although he and Bai Shuzhen held a wedding ceremony, he never actually planned to register their marriage.
He also didn't want to share his assets with Wei Yafei and Wei Sijia, two outsiders.
However, according to Cao Guangping's two sons, his secret trip to Beicheng to get married without telling his family in Hong Kong was because he was infatuated with Bai Shuzhen and wanted to secretly transfer his assets to Bai Shuzhen's name.
Enraged, the two sons hardened their hearts and gathered a group of people to kill Cao Guangping.
Kill Cao Guangping before he marries Bai Shuzhen, so that Bai Shuzhen and her two little brats won't have a chance to fight them for the inheritance.
The two had a good plan. Knowing Cao Guangping's high-profile behavior on the mainland, they figured they could easily pin the blame on the people in Beicheng. They could claim someone was greedy and committed robbery and murder, letting the mainland police investigate at their leisure. Even if the mainland police eventually found a connection to Hong Kong, by then Ah Feng and his group of investors would have already returned to Hong Kong, and the mainland police wouldn't be able to cross the strait to arrest them.
After Ah Feng finished speaking and explained the whole story, his patience was almost worn out. He said to the man who was leading the group, "Hey, Ah Yong, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and make your move."
The man who led the group, called A Yong, immediately stepped forward. He glanced at Cao Guangping, Bai Shuzhen, and Ming Xi, and decided to deal with Ming Xi, the easy-to-bully little girl, first.
He stepped forward with the knife, and when he was three steps away from Mingxi, Mingxi moved and kicked out with a flying kick, forcefully knocking the knife out of Ayong's hand.
The steel dagger fell to the ground with a crisp sound. A-Yong was taken aback, not expecting this little girl to be such a tough nut to crack.
He clenched his fist and punched at Mingxi's face. Mingxi was quick and dodged it. Ayong didn't react in time, and his fist slammed straight into the wall behind Mingxi. Blood instantly gushed from the back of his hand.
Awkward Ah Yong cursed, "Damn it!"
At this moment, Mingxi had already picked up the dagger that had fallen to the ground. She waved it in the air and said, "You can still leave now, but I won't let you go later."
"Damn it!" Ah Yong cursed again, turning to look at Ah Feng: "Where did this little wench come from!"
Ah Feng stared blankly. He had heard that Ming Xi was a matchmaker, but he didn't know that Ming Xi had this skill.
Seeing that Ah Feng wasn't doing his job, Ah Yong cursed inwardly. He had already wasted enough time, and he was afraid that if he delayed any longer, something else might go wrong. So he quickly shouted, "What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and get her! Subdue this little wench!"
Several henchmen swarmed around him in a flash. Mingxi held a knife in his hand and attacked without mercy.
Mingxi grew up in a peaceful era. Over the years, although she had been in many fights, she had never actually hurt anyone. But today was different. The people she was facing today were not to be trifled with. If she held back, she would be the one who lost her life.
Chaos quickly erupted at the scene. Mingxi was fighting ten against one, and even though she had a knife, she was not at a disadvantage, but the situation was still not optimistic.
When Shen Mo saw Ming Xi being beaten, his eyes lit up with excitement. Even with his mouth gagged, he couldn't stop himself from cheering and made "woo woo woo" sounds.
Well done! Mingxi, that bitch, deserves to be beaten!
During the brief moment Mingxi dodged, her eyes met Shen Mo's, and she couldn't help but curse under her breath.
Damn it.
Enraged, she couldn't help but raise her hand and punch Shen Mo on the head. He collapsed to the ground and fell unconscious.
Mingxi turned around and continued to fight with Ayong and his gang. Although Ayong and his gang were not as strong as Mingxi, they had more people and launched a series of attacks. Before long, Mingxi's strength was mostly exhausted.
Mingxi gritted her teeth and said to Cao Guangping, who was still standing there dumbfounded, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and call someone to report to the police!"
Cao Guangping and Bai Shuzhen finally realized what was happening. The two of them, trembling, prepared to run out of the alley to get help. A-Feng noticed their movements and quickly shouted, "A-Yong, don't worry about that little wench!"
Their goal this time is to get rid of Cao Guangping; let's deal with Cao Guangping first!
Ah Yong realized what was happening. By then, Cao Guangping and Bai Shuzhen were already running out of the alley. He didn't have time to chase after them. Gritting his teeth, he quickly pulled a pistol from his pocket. He hadn't originally planned to use it, but the situation was urgent. He couldn't care less about anything else and raised his hand, firing a shot into Cao Guangping's back.
"ah!"
Cao Guangping screamed and fell straight forward to the ground. Seeing him fall, covered in blood, Bai Shuzhen screamed, "Ahhh! Murder! Murder!"
Ah Yong: "Shut up!"
He raised his hand and fired another shot at Bai Shuzhen.
However, the shot missed Bai Shuzhen; the bullet hit the wall next to her.
Ah Yong's gun not only frightened Bai Shuzhen, but also startled Mingxi and Shen Mo.
Mingxi grew up in peacetime and had only ever seen guns in movies and TV series. When she saw Ayong pull out a gun, she panicked and her legs went weak.
Shen Mo had just been knocked unconscious by Ming Xi and was only just waking up in a daze. As soon as he opened his eyes, he heard a gunshot. He trembled and a pool of liquid flowed from his lower body.
Ah Yong smelled the stench and saw the pool of liquid under Shen Mo. He frowned in disgust and casually fired a shot at him.
"Damn, that's disgusting!"
Ah Feng frowned: "Ah Yong, don't waste bullets, quickly take care of these two women, then we'll retreat."
Three shots have already been fired, which has probably alerted the residents in the vicinity. If we delay any longer, the police might arrive.
A-Yong responded and prepared to attack Ming-Xi. At that moment, footsteps sounded at the entrance of the alley, followed by a stern shout: "Stop! Don't move!"
Mingxi looked in the direction of the sound and saw a group of police officers in uniform approaching.
When the group saw the police arrive, they all tensed up. Ah Yong, wanting to test his skills against the police, turned around, brandished his gun, and said, "Get out of the way, let us..."
Before he could finish speaking, he saw a group of police officers opposite him holding guns, with the muzzles pointed at him.
Ah Yong's side has more people, but he's the only one with a gun. On the other hand, everyone on the police side has a gun. It's quite obvious who has the upper hand.
Even though A Yong and his gang were unwilling, they were eventually subdued by the arriving police.
Seeing that the group, including Ah Feng, had been handcuffed, Mingxi breathed a sigh of relief. She belatedly realized that her legs were weak, and she leaned against the wall, panting heavily.
"Comrade, are you alright? Can you tell us what happened?"
Mingxi tried to steady her breathing: "Hello comrade, it's like this, we just came out..."
She recounted what had just happened in a rapid-fire manner. The police officer in front of her frowned. This matter involved Hong Kong businessmen and people from Hong Kong, and it was more complicated and troublesome than they had imagined.
No matter how complicated or troublesome it is, it's the higher-ups' business. They just need to arrest the people and bring them back, and then the higher-ups will have a headache.
While the police officers arranged for people to take A-Feng and A-Yong and their gang back to the police station and detain them, they also arranged for people to send Cao Guangping and Shen Mo, the two injured men, to the hospital.
Mingxi and Bai Shuzhen also went to the police station; they were there to give their statements.
When Mingxi was taking her statement at the police station, she learned that the police had arrived at the scene so quickly because of Aunt Ma.
Didn't Aunt Ma report before that she had suspected the discovery of traces of spies?
The local government and the municipal public security bureau took this matter very seriously and specially increased the number of people patrolling the area.
Over the course of several days, although no trace of the spies was found, many petty thieves were caught, and a major case of stealing scrap from a steel plant was solved.
Because of this, the police officers sent out did not withdraw.
As luck would have it, the patrol team encountered another shooting incident today, which can be considered a great achievement.
When the police chief heard about this, he was still grateful to Aunt Ma.
Thanks to Aunt Ma's report, they were able to dispatch a patrol team and apprehend Ah Yong and his gang of assailants in time. Otherwise, at this crucial time when the government is calling for the introduction of foreign investment, the inexplicable death of Cao Guangping, a Hong Kong businessman, in their area would have certainly made him a target, and he might even have lost his job!
For this reason, the entire Public Security Bureau treated Mingxi with great respect. It was thanks to this young comrade Mingxi that the group of thugs were held back and prevented from leaving!
The police officers showed concern for Mingxi and, upon learning that she worked at the Women's Federation, the police chief, with a broad smile, said, "So you're one of Director Shen's men! What a coincidence! Director Shen's wife is my former boss, so we're practically family now!"
Mingxi: ...
What kind of family are they?
However, considering that the police chief was a leader, Mingxi smiled and remained silent.
It was already past midnight when Mingxi finished giving her statement. When she came out of the interrogation room, she saw Zhao Sulan standing in the lobby, waiting for her anxiously.
Zhao Sulan was panicked. She had been waiting at home for Mingxi to come home, but instead of Mingxi returning, the police came to her door. The police didn't explain what had happened, only that Mingxi had been involved in a shooting and was giving a statement at the police station, and told Zhao Sulan not to worry.
How could Zhao Sulan not be anxious? It was a shooting incident, and those were guns!
Even if Mingxi is stronger, most men can't beat her.
But guns are different from other things. No matter how strong you are, you can still die if you encounter a gun!
Zhao Sulan was in a panic and didn't even have time to change her shoes before the police officers arrived. Seeing that Mingxi was alright, she finally felt relieved.
She stepped forward, hugged Mingxi, and patted her back hard. Tears streamed down her face. "You child, you scared me to death today!"
Mingxi was initially a little scared, but when she saw Zhao Sulan crying, she pretended not to care and said, "Hey, it's nothing. Mom, look, I'm perfectly fine now."
With tears streaming down her face, Zhao Sulan pinched Mingxi's arm and scrutinized him from head to toe.
Mingxi remained still, letting Zhao Sulan see.
She was still feeling grateful that she had washed off the bloodstains that had splattered on her during the fight before giving her statement, otherwise Zhao Sulan would definitely be worried if she saw them.
Zhao Sulan looked Mingxi up and down, left and right, and examined her carefully for a long time before frowning at a scratch about the size of a little finger on her arm: "Xi Bao, how did you get your arm injured?"
Mingxi didn't feel any pain until Zhao Sulan pointed it out and she looked down to find her arm and hand injured.
She said nonchalantly, "It's nothing, I must have just accidentally scratched it."
Zhao Sulan: "No, it's still bleeding. We need to go to the hospital to get it checked out."
Mingxi: "Oh, Mom, no need, I'm fine, I'll just wrap it up when I get home..."
But Mingxi's words were useless, and Zhao Sulan pulled Mingxi and headed straight for the hospital.
Mingxi's judgment was correct; her arm was only lightly scratched, just a scrape of the skin, without any damage to the flesh. At the hospital, the nurse gave her a simple bandage and then let her leave.
As Mingxi and Zhao Sulan were about to leave, they ran into Cao Guangping's youngest daughter, Chen Jiasui, and another of Cao Guangping's assistants rushing over.
Chen Jiahui paused as she passed Mingxi.
Chen Jiahui knew that Afeng was working for her two older brothers. She was also the one who had previously instigated Wei Sijia and Wei Yafei to persuade Bai Shuzhen to marry Cao Guangping as soon as possible.
She knew that her two older brothers would not let it go easily once they found out that Cao Guangping was going to marry Bai Shuzhen, but she did not expect that the two of them would be so ruthless and actually target Cao Guangping's life.
Moreover, this incident also involved Mingxi, an outsider, so she felt somewhat apologetic.
Chen Jiahui: "Ms. Ming, I'm sorry, I didn't expect my family's affairs to involve you."
She gave a wink to the person next to her, who immediately handed Mingxi an envelope.
Chen Jiahui: "This is my payment for Miss Ming's medical expenses. I will personally visit her to apologize another day when I have time."
"No, no, I didn't either..."
Mingxi wanted to be polite, but Chen Jiahui had already forcibly stuffed the envelope into her hand. Mingxi felt the thickness of the envelope, and her hand, which had been refusing, involuntarily went limp.
Good heavens, as expected of the Chen family, they are so generous!
This must be worth several hundred yuan.
Seeing the light in Mingxi's eyes, Chen Jiahui couldn't help but smile.
Despite the Chen family's commotion over money, Chen Jiahui doesn't see it as a matter of money.
Money is a wonderful thing; it can buy anything you want in this world.
Whether you're rich or poor, who doesn't like money?
Chen Jiahui found Mingxi's money-grubbing behavior not at all annoying.
Compared to Mingxi's straightforwardness and lack of pretense, she disliked even more those hypocritical people who appeared aloof but were actually more shrewd and calculating than anyone else.
Chen Jiahui smiled and said, "Ms. Ming, please keep these. I need to go see my father, so I'll be going now."
Mingxi nodded, watching Chen Jiahui leave with her assistant.
Speaking of which, she was quite curious about Cao Guangping's injuries and whether he could survive.
The next workday, Mingxi was supposed to go to work, but she had stayed up too late the night before. Zhao Sulan couldn't bear to see Mingxi go to work looking so listless, so she asked for a day off for her at work.
Mingxi successfully slept at home until noon when the sun was high in the sky before getting up.
Mingxi woke up around noon, rubbed her eyes, grabbed her toiletries, and went to the yard to wash up. At that time, news of the shooting that had occurred nearby yesterday had already spread, and Aunt He and several other women were chatting and analyzing it in the yard.
"I told you there were spies around here, but you didn't believe me. Look what happened! Didn't they shoot someone last night? I heard the injured person was from Hong Kong! We're currently trying to attract foreign investment, and that Hong Kong guy was one of those investors. Now that he's been injured by spies, he might not dare to invest in this area anymore!"
"That damn spy, what a bastard!"
"That's right! We initially thought the spies were here to sabotage production, but we never imagined they were even more despicable than we thought—they were here to sabotage foreign investment!"
"Hey, have you caught the spy yet?"
The well-informed Aunt He said, "They've been caught! They've been caught! I heard from someone that they've been caught. She saw the police handcuffing more than ten people last night. When the spies were causing trouble, she didn't dare go out; she just watched from her own window."
"Good that they've been caught! Execute them! Let's teach them a lesson for daring to cause trouble in our country!"
"Exactly, people like that deserve to be shot!"
"Hey, what do you guys think of that Hong Kong businessman? Is he still alive?"
"Who knows..."
Everyone was chatting away enthusiastically, while Mingxi brushed his teeth, looking completely dazed.
I never expected these middle-aged women to have such wild imaginations; they even connected with the previous spy stories.
Mingxi listened intently for a while. The older women were quite talkative, going on about everything from current spies to traitors and lackeys before the founding of the People's Republic of China, as well as those despicable Japanese devils.
Several of the older women had lived through that era. One was Aunt Liu, who had fled famine from Northeast China; her family had been killed by the Japanese invaders. Now, as they spoke of the Japanese, they were filled with resentment.
Just then, Ma Meixia walked in from outside the courtyard. She looked at Mingxi with concern and asked, "I heard about what happened last night. Are you alright?"
"It's alright, it's alright," Mingxi said, holding the washbasin. "Let's go inside and talk."
She led Ma Meixia into the house. Ma Meixia said, "It's terrifying. I heard from my husband, Lao Wei, that Cao Guangping's family in Hong Kong was in turmoil, with his children fighting over the inheritance. I thought it was an exaggeration, but I didn't expect it to be so scary. Just because Cao Guangping got married, his two sons wanted to kill their father. I never thought that being rich wasn't so easy."
Mingxi shrugged.
She felt that it shouldn't be said that way.
She had seen plenty of family discord; whether a family was rich or poor, if people weren't on the same page, things could easily escalate into conflict.
Even families with average means often end up fighting tooth and nail when dividing their assets, don't they?
Furthermore, she felt that Cao Guangping himself bore a large part of the responsibility for his current predicament. If he hadn't been so greedy for power, causing his two sons and two daughters to quarrel, his two sons might not have coveted his property, and things might not have turned out this way.
But things have already come to this point, and there's no point in saying anything more.
Mingxi didn't respond to that question, but instead asked, "Do you know how badly Cao Guangping was injured?"
Ma Meixia nodded: "The injury is quite serious!"
She gossiped, "My mother-in-law waited in the operating room all night last night, and Cao Guangping only came out of the operating room this morning. They said that the bullet that hit him was in the lung. Although it wasn't fatal, it caused massive bleeding, and he was lucky to survive. However, the doctor said that because of his age and declining physical functions, this injury was serious. Even if he recovers, his body will not be able to return to its previous state and he will have to take his time to recover."
Mingxi: "It's good that the person is still alive."
Ma Meixia nodded in agreement; she felt the same way.
“Oh, right, wasn’t there another person who was beaten and sent to the hospital along with Cao Guangping last night?” Ma Meixia suddenly said.
Mingxi: "Ah, right, there's one more!"
She almost forgot that Shen Mo had also been sent to the hospital.
Ma Meixia: "He's really unlucky. When I went to the hospital with my husband this morning, I heard that the guy had the misfortune of being hit there."
She pointed to the area between her legs.
He continued, "Even if they are taken to the hospital in time, the damaged parts cannot be repaired and are completely ruined."
Mingxi stared in disbelief: "What?!"
Last night it was dark, so she didn't notice where Shen Mo was hit.
Ma Meixia nodded with a sense of sympathy: "I heard he doesn't have a wife yet, that's terrible. He's ruined in that area, so he can forget about getting married and having children in this lifetime."
Mingxi stared in disbelief for a long time before finally managing to stammer, "This is all karma!"
Ma Meixia looked over, not understanding why Mingxi said that.
Mingxi quickly recounted what had happened between Yang Weihong and Shen Mo, and Ma Meixia, after listening, exclaimed, "It's truly karma!"
Although Shen Mo was quite pitiful this time, Ming Xi couldn't feel any sympathy for him.
Who told Shen Mo to be excited when he saw her being beaten yesterday? He deserves it!
At the hospital, Shen Mo had regained consciousness. The anesthesia hadn't worn off yet, so he couldn't feel the pain in his lower body. He was still a little dazed to see himself in a hospital bed.
When the nurse who came to check on him saw that he was awake, she looked at him with pity and said, "You're awake. Is anything bothering you?"
Shen Mo was unaware of what was happening. Seeing the nurse's gaze, he assumed she liked him and was giving him flirtatious glances. He smoothed his hair, smiled confidently, and said, "No, I'm perfectly fine now."
Nurse: "That might be because the anesthesia hasn't worn off yet. After the anesthesia wears off, your lower body might be quite painful, which is normal. Because of the sensitive location of your gunshot wound, for your safety, we had to perform an amputation. Afterwards..."
The nurse continued talking, her mouth opening and closing, but Shen Mo's brain couldn't process it all.
Wait, what excision surgery? What excision surgery?!
He finally realized what was happening and looked down at his lower body, only to find that the area that should have been bulging was completely flat.
Shen Mo stared wide-eyed. Where was his younger brother?!
Shen Mo finally remembered what had happened last night, the man with the gun who had shot him, and then he…
Shen Mo's veins bulged instantly, and he struggled with his upper body, roaring, "Bastard! I'm going to kill that bastard! Let me kill him! I'll make sure he can't even be a man..."
The nurse in front of him was startled by his sudden outburst. As a woman, she couldn't hold Shen Mo down. Seeing that Shen Mo had struggled to get off the bed, she shouted, "No, you can't get out of bed now. Be careful that your wound doesn't reopen if you get out of bed!"
Shen Mo wouldn't listen to her and, looking fierce, was about to get out of bed to settle scores with someone.
The nurse had no choice but to rush to the next-door duty room to call the doctor, who gave Shen Mo a sedative injection, which finally calmed him down.
While Shen Mo calmed down, Cao Guangping in the other ward started causing trouble again.
When Cao Guangping woke up, he learned from Bai Shuzhen that his body might never fully recover. He was furious and angry. Even though Bai Shuzhen told him that the group that had hurt him had been arrested and taken to the police station, he still couldn't calm down.
What's the point of arresting A-Feng and A-Yong's gang in the police station? They were all acting under orders!
Thinking of what A-Feng said last night, that all of this was done by his two sons, Cao Guangping couldn't help but feel a surge of anger.
He suspected from the beginning that it was those two bastards who did it, and he was right!
Damn it, those two brats owe their current success to him!
Without him, those two good-for-nothings would have been kicked out of the group's power center long ago due to their lack of ability, and would only be able to make a living from the few restaurants they owned.
I never expected these two brats to dare lay a hand on him!
Cao Guangping was so angry he was sobbing. Chen Jiahui seized the opportunity to stir things up: "Dad, don't be angry. You just had surgery. The doctor said you can't get too emotional right now, or it will affect your health. Besides, I believe there must be some misunderstanding. You're so good to your brothers, how could they possibly lay a hand on you? Maybe Afeng is just spreading rumors under the guise of your brothers."
"How is that possible!"
Cao Guangping's face was ashen: "Ah Feng might be talking nonsense. How did that group of people come yesterday? Ah Feng has no money to hire those people! It was those two bastards who were hoping I would die soon so they could inherit my shares!"
"They're dreaming!" Cao Guangping said viciously, "Even if I die, I won't give them the shares I own!"
At this point, Cao Guangping looked at Chen Jiahui with loving eyes.
Although he used to favor sons over daughters and didn't think much of his two daughters, now that he's been heartbroken by his two sons, he feels that his two daughters aren't so bad after all.
Although she is a daughter, she is obedient, unlike those two brats who tried to kill her.
However, Cao Guangping's expression immediately stiffened. He had previously favored his two sons and neglected Chen Jiahui and her sister. He was afraid that Chen Jiahui would resent him for this.
He thought for a moment and said, "Jia Sui, I was deceived by your two older brothers before and didn't see their true nature. Now I understand completely. They are ungrateful wretches and wolf cubs! I did some things wrong before and I owe you and your sister. Please don't take it to heart."
Chen Jiahui: "Dad, why are you saying this? How could I hold a grudge against you for something like this?"
Fake.
Of course she hated Cao Guangping.
Cao Guangping not only sabotaged her and her older sister in the company and in business, but also wanted to marry her off to a rich second-generation playboy who indulged in all sorts of vices, simply because his family had connections in both the legal and illegal worlds and was powerful and influential.
If it weren't for her elder sister's firm opposition to the marriage, she would have been married off by Cao Guangping long ago.
Cao Guangping himself felt that his words were too light and didn't seem to express his attitude. He paused and then said in an almost ingratiating tone.
"Jia Sui, when we get back this time, I'll have a lawyer draw up a will. After I die, all my assets will be inherited by you and your sister, whether it's shares or cash, it will all belong to you and your sister!"
Cao Guangping made up his mind, partly to please Chen Jiahui and Chen Jiahui, and partly to get revenge on his two sons.
Aren't they going to turn on themselves?
Even if he dies, his inheritance will not be divided among his two sons!
"Dad, what does inheritance matter? The most important thing is that you live a good life."
Chen Jiahui smiled sweetly.
I whistled in my mind: Thanks to my two silly brothers for the gift.
