Chapter 114 Shocking: Those who plotted against her must all be punished.
Before Fu Heng could react, Xiao Yan had already fallen flat on his face to the ground. Gu Mingxia, protected by Xiao Yan, was unharmed.
"Mingxia!"
Jumping down the tunnel, Fu Heng immediately checked on Gu Mingxia. Finding her only unconscious, he breathed a sigh of relief. However, upon seeing the dried blood on Gu Mingxia's lips, Fu Heng frowned.
He quickly called Fu Ya over, while he tried to pry Xiao Yan's hands off Gu Mingxia's legs. However, Xiao Yan was holding on very tightly, and Fu Heng had to use a lot of effort to pry them open. He carefully picked up Gu Mingxia and handed her to Fu Ya above, before finally turning Xiao Yan, who was lying on the ground, over to his right side.
His face was covered in blood, and he looked extremely disheveled. Fu Heng was incredibly grateful to Xiao Yan at that moment, because it was thanks to Xiao Yan accompanying Mingxia to South Africa that Mingxia was able to survive the rubble.
"I, Fu Heng... would never take advantage of someone in distress! I like Mingxia, but I will compete with you fairly. So... you must live well!"
Fu Heng squatted on the ground, murmuring softly, then pulled Xiao Yan's arm, trying to pull him down to the ground as well, only to find that both of his wrists were covered with cuts, the wounds already covered with dried blood.
In an instant, he understood what was going on with the bloodstains on Gu Mingxia's lips. There was no water source underground, so Gu Mingxia had obviously drunk Xiao Yan's blood to survive for so long.
He... would rather lose his own life than let Gu Mingxia get out of here safely!
This thought made Fu Heng feel a pang of sadness. He always thought he was the one who loved Gu Mingxia the most, but he didn't realize that there was someone in this world who loved her even more than he did!
He felt a pang of jealousy, jealous that Xiao Yan had won Gu Mingxia's heart, but he also admired him for all that Xiao Yan had done for Gu Mingxia. He frowned and then helped Xiao Yan up with a strong effort.
Regardless of the circumstances, it was because of Xiao Yan in South Africa that Gu Mingxia was able to live safely, and Fu Heng felt mostly grateful to Xiao Yan.
"Thank you all for your help. Here is a check for 200,000. Please take it!"
Fu Heng counted the number of people, readily wrote out checks, and handed them all to Song Jia. After putting away the checkbook, he smiled and bowed to everyone before putting Xiao Yan and Gu Mingxia into the car with Fu Ya and driving quickly to the hospital.
"...This guy is really rich!"
Looking at the stack of checks in her hand, Song Jia was filled with emotion. She was also curious about Gu Mingxia's identity. She never expected that this woman, who didn't seem to be stunningly beautiful, would have so many men willing to spend money on her!
"Brother Song, have you noticed that these two people who came here look a lot like Mr. Fu from South Africa?"
The person next to him immediately leaned out and said, "You know what, there really is a resemblance." Song Jia held the check and thought about it for a moment, but quickly realized that there were some things they were better off not knowing. He then turned around and hit the person next to him hard on the head with the check.
"You don't work hard, you just talk a lot!"
"Who said that? Brother Song, look at the blisters on my hands!"
He stretched out his hands with a wronged expression, and sure enough, there were several large blisters on his hands. Song Jia snorted, left behind a check that belonged to him, and then handed it all to him.
"Go and distribute the money to everyone, then pack up your tools and go home!"
This business trip was pretty good; at least we made a considerable amount of money! Song Jia thought to himself as he packed up his things and led everyone away from the ruins.
"Third Brother, why did you save Xiao Yan?"
Sitting in the hospital corridor, Fu Ya muttered to himself, puzzled. According to the Fu family's usual practices, Fu Heng should have only saved Gu Mingxia, leaving Xiao Yan to fend for himself in the ruins. That way, Gu Mingxia would definitely end up with her third brother.
But now, things have turned out differently. Third Brother has sent both of them to the hospital. Who would want to create a rival for their love life? Fu Ya couldn't understand it at all.
Fu Heng clasped his hands together and rested his chin on them, staring intently at the red light above the emergency room door. He heard Fu Ya's words but remained silent for a long time. Just when Fu Ya thought he wouldn't answer her, Fu Heng suddenly turned his head, his bright, star-like gaze meeting Fu Ya's eyes.
“Fu Ya, when you truly love someone, you wouldn’t want to take advantage of them, much less use unfair means to get them! You’d feel despicable yourself!”
Using despicable means to get the woman he loves most is definitely not something to be proud of for the aloof Fu Heng! He can love a woman and not have her, but he cannot use despicable means to keep someone who doesn't love him by his side!
The woman Fu Heng wanted had to be someone who loved him willingly and wanted to be with him, not someone he could force to stay by his side through despicable means. That was something he absolutely could not tolerate.
"But as long as Xiao Yan is alive, Gu Mingxia won't give you a fair chance to compete! Third Brother, aren't you digging your own grave?"
Fu Ya spoke impatiently. He didn't understand what was despicable or not; he only wanted his third brother to be happy, and only Gu Mingxia could give his third brother that happiness!
So what if the methods are despicable? So what if you take advantage of someone in distress? As long as the person you love is by your side, isn't that enough?
"Fu Ya, you don't understand! You'll understand when you truly love someone!"
Fu Heng looked at Fu Ya, reached out and touched the top of his head, his eyes full of elegant smiles, as if he wasn't the one who had lost control over the ruins. Who knew that his usual gesture would make Fu Ya reach out and slap him, and stand up angrily.
"Third Brother, can you please stop smiling like that? Why do you always have that smiling face? Why can't I ever see any other expression on your face? Don't you ever get angry? Don't you ever lose control? Do you know how annoying it is to see someone like that?"
He was truly fed up! Did always wearing that perpetually sorrowless smile make him seem so noble? No! Fu Ya's anger appeared exceptionally childish to Fu Heng. He reached up and touched the curve of his lips; it was just the right amount—an elegant and proper smile.
"What's wrong with smiling? This society is no longer the era where the child who cries out in pain gets candy! If you show your pain and injuries to others, it will only make them see your weaknesses and your ridiculousness, and it won't bring you any benefit at all! So, why would we, the Fu family, do something that brings no benefit? You are still too young. One day, you will understand that a smile doesn't mean I have no feelings, and not getting angry doesn't mean I don't have other emotions!"
"But Third Brother..."
"Which one of you is a family member of the patient?"
Before Fu Ya could finish speaking, the emergency room door opened and a doctor came out. Fu Heng immediately got up and ran over.
"I'm a friend of the patients, how are they?"
"The young lady inside has been examined and is basically fine. She was just unconscious due to severe dehydration and hunger. She can be discharged after resting. However, that gentleman... has lost too much blood. During our examination, we also discovered that he had been injected with BH19, a drug that pushes the body to its limits. This drug is extremely harmful to the body. The bleeding from his eyes and nose when he was brought in was a side effect of this drug. Therefore... we cannot cure this side effect. I'm sorry!"
BH19? Fu Heng frowned. He had read about it in a magazine. It was an extreme drug used on athletes to maximize the user's potential, but the side effects were severe, and most people wouldn't try it. Why would Xiao Yan inject himself with this drug?
"How is he now?"
"He just received a blood transfusion and his condition has stabilized. However, due to the aftereffects, he may remain in a coma for a long time, or even for an extended period! I'm so sorry!"
After speaking in English, the doctor turned and went into the emergency room. A prolonged coma? Fu Heng kept pondering this question. If Xiao Yan didn't wake up, what would happen to Mingxia? Was his health really that bad?
After the red light went out, Xiao Yan and Gu Mingxia were wheeled out of the ward. Fu Heng quickly went up to talk to the nurse and eventually arranged for the two of them to stay in the same ward as husband and wife.
"Third Brother, do you know you're digging your own grave? No one has ever gone to such lengths to save their love rival!"
Fu Ya was very dissatisfied with Fu Heng's actions, but could only mutter to herself. Fu Heng turned around, his eyes turned cold, and the elegant smile on his face disappeared. Just one look from him made Fu Ya shiver.
“Fu Ya, we members of the Fu family may use any means necessary in the business world, but we will never take lives! I, Fu Heng, have been in the business world for so many years, and I can say that my reputation is still spotless! So, I don’t want you to learn to be so ruthless at such a young age. Remember that there are things you can do and things you cannot do!”
Fu Heng's tone was icy, and Fu Ya felt an indescribable chill in his ears. After speaking, Fu Heng turned and walked towards Gu Mingxia and Xiao Yan's ward, but after taking a few steps, he turned back and stared at Fu Ya.
"Go find Fifth Uncle and have him call Third Uncle over. Tell them I'm going to thoroughly investigate whoever plotted against Gu Mingxia! I, Fu Heng, want to see what kind of audacity Cai Fenghe and those unknown demons have to dare touch the woman I love!"
"...But Cai Feng still bears the surname Fu. If Daddy finds out, won't he be unhappy?"
Fu Hongchang is a very sentimental person, which is why Fu Ya asked him with some concern. To her surprise, Fu Heng just smiled elegantly, but the information hidden in that smile was too terrifying.
"I don't care if his surname is Fu or Zheng! He dared to scheme against her, very well! Now that I have some free time, I'll settle accounts with him one by one. Tell Fifth Uncle and Third Uncle that not a single one of those who schemed against her will be spared!"
