Chapter 83 Ex-husband hospitalized after being punched three times
Xiang Jingheng stared coldly at Shao Muyan, his expression icy.
His cheek burned with pain, and despite clenching his fist, he couldn't manage to throw the punch back.
"Not fighting back?"
Shao Muyan casually rolled up his sleeves: "I've put up with you for a long time. I'd actually like to fight you."
"You and Yu Yan," Xiang Jingheng said, his eyes half-closed, blurting out calmly, "did you do it?"
Shao Muyan frowned.
"What did you say?"
Xiang Jingheng gave a light, sarcastic smile, "A lone man and a lone woman, spending every day in the same room, I'm afraid they've already been ignited by passion..."
Bang!
Another punch landed on Xiang Jingheng's chin, causing blood to gush from his nose.
"President Xiang!"
The bodyguards stepped forward and confronted the Shao family's bodyguards.
"Stop!" Xiang Jingheng stopped them, pinching his nose and spitting out a mouthful of bloody foam.
He took the tissue from the bodyguard and wiped his hands. He then wiped the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand, looked up at Shao Muyan's ashen face, and managed to get the answer he wanted.
...It seems that Shao Muyan has not yet won over Yu Yan.
He still has a chance!
"Third Master, why make such a big fuss?"
Xiang Jingheng took two punches, but laughed gleefully, a hint of madness in his smile. "Is Yu Yan difficult to deal with? Not easy to get, is she?"
Shao Muyan looked at Xiang Jingheng with icy eyes, not minding throwing a third punch.
"You haven't seen what Yu Yan is like in bed. That night when we had Xiang Chu, she clung to me desperately, and the feeling was truly..."
Bang!
Shao Muyan's third punch landed accurately.
—
A week ago, Yu Yan, along with the WD research team and Huaxiang Technology's project team, boarded a giant ship.
I've been in meetings for a week straight, and my phone has been switched off.
It was a highly confidential meeting; not only Xiang Jingheng, but even Shao Muyan couldn't contact Yu Yan.
When I got ashore, the contract had already been signed.
After shaking hands, the three parties parted ways.
Yu Yan got into Hua Zhidao's car, and before she could even turn on her phone, Hua Zhidao's secretary reported an important matter: "Third Master beat up the president of Xiang's Group and sent him to the hospital."
"What?"
Yu Yan and Hua Zhidao looked up at the same time.
Before things escalated, Xiang Jingheng called the police. He didn't fight back at all; it was Shao Muyan who unilaterally beat him.
Both sides refused to reconcile, and Shao Muyan is still inside drinking tea.
So neither Yu Yan nor Hua Zhidao went home; they went straight to the police station.
On the way there, Yu Yan was constantly worried, her hands tightly gripping her knees.
Hua Zhidao called Shao Min to find out what was going on. "...Okay, I understand. I'll go take a look."
After hanging up the phone, Yu Yan frowned and asked, "Was it too hard?"
“It’s not minor,” Hua Zhidao said. “Xiang Jingheng is still in the hospital. Shao Min went to see him. Neither side is willing to say why the fight happened, and the bodyguards are also afraid to speak.”
Yu Yan frowned. What was there that she wouldn't dare to say?
What did Xiang Jingheng do to provoke Uncle Yan to the point of violence, even sending him to the hospital?
"Uncle Yan is still inside." Yu Yan asked, "Isn't the Shao family going to take care of him?"
"Third Master forbids me from interfering."
Hua Zhidao said, "The Shao family will compensate for the medical expenses, but the Xiang family doesn't want it. Xiang Jingheng said that a settlement is not impossible, but he put forward a condition."
He looked at Yu Yan, "I need you to go."
Yu Yan frowned.
...
After going through the proper procedures, Yu Yan and Hua Zhidao saw Shao Muyan being held in a private ward through the office's surveillance cameras.
Shao Muyan couldn't stay idle for a moment inside either.
The single bed and the small desk were covered with books, paper, and pens. Shao Muyan was focused and writing furiously.
The bureau chief said helplessly, "According to regulations, computers are not allowed. Professor Yu called personally to assign homework and a reading list."
He took out a photocopy and handed it to Yu Yan; it was covered with dense text.
Wen Ju said from the bottom of his heart, "I express my deepest sympathy for Third Master."
Being imprisoned and still having to write papers... Researchers really have it tough.
Having something to do is actually better than having nothing to do. It helps pass the time.
Yu Yan asked, "Now we need to consider the Xiang family's attitude, right?"
“Yes,” Director Wen said. “As long as the person who was beaten is willing to settle and pay bail, he can be released.”
Yu Yan nodded, "Okay. I'll talk to the Xiang family."
Upon hearing this, Director Wen coughed lightly and said, "Third Master asked me to tell you three words."
Yu Yan was taken aback. "What?"
"You are not allowed to go."
Yu Yan: "..."
After watching the surveillance video, it was clear that Shao Muyan had hit hard. Although she didn't know what they were talking about, Yu Yan noticed that Xiang Jingheng's expression was strange, and his smile was somewhat sinister.
He must have said something unpleasant to Uncle Yan, which provoked him to take such drastic action.
This was also the first time Yu Yan had ever seen Shao Muyan hit someone.
It is vigorous and powerful.
As Yu Yan left the police station, she saw Shao Min and Shao Yun. Shao Yun's eyes were red, indicating that she hadn't slept well for the past few days.
"I'm worried about his uncle."
Shao Min sighed, "She cries secretly at night, and no matter how I try to comfort her, it's no use."
"It's alright, Yunyun, don't worry."
Yu Yan picked up Shao Yun. Shao Yun had been holding back her tears during the day, but as soon as she saw Yu Yan, tears welled up in her eyes again, and her lips turned white.
The child's cry was silent, revealing a sense of restraint and stubbornness that only made people feel more sorry for him.
Yu Yan patted his head and whispered a few words of comfort to him.
"My uncle is inside writing his thesis; he's very busy. He'll come out when he finishes, and then we can come pick him up together, okay?"
Upon hearing this, Shao Yun stopped crying, as if assessing the credibility of Yu Yan's words.
"My aunt doesn't lie or cheat."
Yu Yan said.
Shao Yun agreed and nodded, silently wiping away her tears with her small hands.
Yu Yan put him down and took a piece of paper from the car, handing it to Shao Yun.
As Shao Min and Hua Zhidao were talking, a silver-gray SUV drove up and stopped next to Hua Zhidao's car.
The bodyguards did not stop him; instead, they stepped forward to open the car door, and a handsome man with very fair skin got out.
Hua Zhidao walked over to him, and the two exchanged a few words face to face.
Shao Min introduced Yu Yan: "That's Song Cheng."
Yu Yan nodded, understanding.
This wasn't the place to discuss business. Yu Yan and Song Cheng exchanged a brief greeting. Hua Zhidao got into Song Cheng's car, and Yu Yan got into Shao Min's car. The two groups parted ways at the three-way intersection.
As Shao Min drove, she said to Yu Yan, who was sitting in the back with Shao Yun, "It's fine for Ayan to stay inside for a few days. Anyway, he's always working, so it's good that no one will bother him. He can concentrate on writing his thesis."
"Can I go in and keep my uncle company?" Shao Yun asked, her eyes still filled with worry.
Yu Yan and Shao Min both curled their lips slightly. Shao Min said, "No, baby, it's not like you can just walk in there like that."
Shao Yun frowned. "Will my uncle get beaten?"
"Won't."
Seeing that Shao Yun was genuinely worried, Yu Yan also felt that they couldn't let Uncle Yan stay inside indefinitely; the matter still needed to be resolved.
Xiang Jingheng proposed a settlement in exchange for her seeing him, but Uncle Yan forbade her to go.
Clearly, this whole thing started because of her.
After returning home, Yu Yan asked the bodyguard who was present that day, "What exactly did Xiang Jingheng say that made Uncle Yan take action? Is it related to me?"
The bodyguards looked at each other, none of them daring to speak.
