Chapter 28 I'll beat you to death today, you heartless, ungrateful scumbag!
Qin Shuzhi had just finished her video chat with Shi Yuanxing and taken a shower when she received a call from Qi Yishan.
As soon as the call connected, Qi Yishan's anxious and flustered voice came through.
"It's over, it's over, Zhibao, your brother knows about what happened on your birthday night."
Qin Shuzhi's pupils contracted sharply. "How did he know?"
"That brat just asked me out to try and get information out of me. After he found out the truth from me, he stormed off. I bet he's going to settle scores with my brother."
She knew she couldn't let that kid find out, or something bad would definitely happen.
Worried about her younger brother, Qin Shuzhi hurriedly asked, "Do you know where Shen Yichen is now?"
Give me two minutes.
After Qi Yishan finished speaking, she hung up the phone, and Qin Shuzhi took the opportunity to quickly change her clothes.
Qi Yishan called again, "My brother's assistant said he's at a club talking business with someone, and Assistant Chen said that three minutes ago, Zhiheng also called to ask him for the address."
"The address of that club isn't far from your home. I've sent the location to your phone."
Qin Shuzhi quickly put on her shoes and said, "Okay, I'll be right there."

In a VIP room at a high-end club, Shen Yichen was discussing a project with two bosses.
Just as everyone had reached a preliminary agreement on cooperation, Shen Yichen was about to raise his glass to toast when suddenly, with a loud "bang," the door to the private room was violently kicked open.
Shen Yichen frowned and looked up to see Qin Zhiheng walking in angrily, followed by Chen He, who was shocked and wanted to stop him.
Before Shen Yichen could understand what was going on, Qin Zhiheng had already rushed in front of him and, without saying a word, punched him in the face.
A muffled "bang" was heard.
Shen Yichen was caught off guard.
The four or five people sitting nearby were also stunned by this sudden turn of events.
When Qin Zhiheng attacked again, Shen Yichen reacted and raised his hand to block. At this moment, Chen He also rushed over and took the opportunity to grab Qin Zhiheng's arm. Together with a senior executive from the Shen Group, they held Qin Zhiheng on the left and right and dragged him away.
Shen Yichen took a punch, and his mouth was numb with pain, but seeing that the person in front of him was Qin Shuzhi's younger brother, he still tried his best to control his anger.
He first said to his partners, "I'm sorry, everyone, I have some things to take care of here. We can talk about the project another day."
Those bosses were quite perceptive. In Jiangcheng, anyone who dared to beat up Shen Yichen in front of everyone must be no ordinary person. Upon hearing Shen Yichen's words, they all stood up, said their goodbyes, and left.
"open!"
Qin Zhiheng struggled desperately against the two men's restraints.
Knowing he was the boss's future brother-in-law, Chen He didn't dare offend him, but he was also worried that if he let go, he would attack Shen Yichen again, so he could only hold on tightly and say in a gentle voice:
"Young Master Qin, Young Master Qin, let's talk this out."
Shen Yichen told Chen He to let him go and gestured for them to leave.
Once only the two of them remained in the private room, he looked at Qin Zhiheng with a stern face and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
"Am I going crazy?"
Enraged, Qin Zhiheng's hand trembled as he pointed at Shen Yichen. "You bastard! My sister was so good to you, and you betrayed her for a mistress, even causing her to be bullied by thugs and get hurt. You're worse than an animal!"
Shen Yichen's expression suddenly changed. "What are you talking about? What hooliganism? What injury?"
"Stop pretending with me."
Qin Zhiheng glared at him angrily, "If you hadn't abandoned her on the mountaintop that night for your mistress, would she have encountered thugs on her way down the mountain and been pushed down the slope, injuring her arm?"
Shen Yichen's head buzzed, and he froze on the spot, his face draining of color almost instantly. "...What did you say?"
"I'm telling you, I'll beat you to death today, you heartless and ungrateful scumbag."
Qin Zhiheng rushed forward and threw another punch...

Qin Shuzhi pushed open the door to the private room and immediately saw Qin Zhiheng beating up Shen Yichen.
She quickly went over to pull Qin Zhiheng away, saying, "Alright, stop hitting him."
Shen Yichen did not resist and let Qin Zhiheng hit him until Qin Shuzhi pulled him away. Only then did his scarlet eyes turn and look at her.
Chen He, who followed Qin Shuzhi in, saw that Qin Shuzhi had bruises on his face and blood was still faintly visible at the corner of his mouth. He was so frightened that he quickly went up to help him up. "President Chen, shall I take you to the hospital first?"
Shen Yichen remained silent, only staring at Qin Shuzhi.
His eyes were filled with heartache, regret, and remorse.
However, Qin Shuzhi didn't even glance at him out of the corner of her eye. She was just anxiously pulling Qin Zhiheng up and down, looking him over from head to toe, asking, "Are you hurt anywhere?"
Qin Zhiheng shook his head.
That scumbag just took the beating without fighting back.
Qin Shuzhi was still uneasy and was about to take a closer look at him when a hoarse, slightly choked voice came from behind her:
"...Xiao Zhi."
Her eyes widened in surprise, and she turned around to see Shen Yichen, who had been badly beaten.
Qin Shuzhi's gaze swept over his disheveled appearance, and she frowned slightly with concern.
She wasn't worried about how badly Shen Yichen would get beaten up, but rather about Qin Zhiheng, who was beating people up.
This club is owned by the Shen Group. He barged into their territory and beat someone up. No matter the reason, if they investigate, he'll probably end up in jail.
More importantly, Shen Yichen is not one to suffer in silence.
He is a vengeful person.
After thinking for a moment, Qin Shuzhi said to Qin Zhiheng, "You go out first, I have something to say to him."
Qin Zhiheng frowned, "Sister..."
Qin Shuzhi said in a deep voice, "Go outside and wait for me."
Qin Zhiheng glanced at Shen Yichen, and finally relented, saying to Qin Shuzhi, "I'll be right outside the door. Call me anytime if you need anything."
Chen He, being sensible, followed Qin Zhiheng out.
Once the door closed, only the two people remained in the private room, amidst a deathly silence.
Shen Yichen stared at her silently, his Adam's apple bobbing several times, but he couldn't utter a word.
“He is my brother. It is only natural that he would want to stand up for me when he sees his sister being betrayed and bullied.”
Qin Shuzhi glanced at him coldly and continued, "Hitting people is wrong, but what you did was also not a human thing, so you deserved this beating."
Just now, Qin Zhiheng was beating Qin Shuzhi while recounting her experience that night. After listening, Shen Yichen's heartache and regret still lingered in his heart.
What did he do that night?
How could he leave her alone in such a place?
His gaze slowly drifted to her left arm.
Qin Shuzhi was in a hurry to leave, so she just threw on a short-sleeved dress and went out without bandaging her wound.
At this moment, an ugly scar on her fair and delicate forearm stands out particularly.
Shen Yichen's pupils dilated sharply, his heart feeling as if it had been struck a heavy blow. After a long while, he finally managed to ask in a trembling voice, his lips shaking:
"Does it hurt a lot?"
