"Am I your father or you my father? I've eaten more salt than you've walked roads! What right do you have to tell me what to do? Besides, I'm disciplining him for his own good. But what right do you have to discipline me? If I hadn't been merciful back then, you, Xu Qingcheng, would be hanging on the wall right now!"
“Dad…” Xu Qingcheng covered her face, tears streaming down her face.
She couldn't understand how her father had become like this.
He used to be quite sensible!
Why did it turn out like this?!
"Dad, I've already misunderstood Xu Mo before. I can't continue making the same mistake. I'm sorry!"
Xu Qingcheng took out her phone and dialed the emergency number.
"Hello, is this medical staff? Someone here has fainted and needs immediate medical attention. Could you please come over?"
"Location?"
"My location is XX..."
"Alright, hurry up and come over, I'm afraid the patient's life will be in danger if you're late!"
Xu Qingcheng hung up the phone, and her family was already furious.
"Smack!"
Su Yun stepped forward and slapped Xu Qingcheng across the face.
"You rebellious daughter, do you even know what you're doing?"
Xu Feng complained, "My brother only suffered some minor injuries, there's no need to call an ambulance at all, sister, what's the point of you doing this?"
Second Sister Xu Ruyan rubbed her temples: "If we save Xu Mo this time, he will continue to make the same mistake next time, which means that this lesson will have been wasted!"
Third sister Xu Qingxue said unhappily, "Eldest sister, aren't you trying to make all of Mom and Dad's efforts go to waste?"
Fourth sister Xu Mengting said angrily, "Mom and Dad are disciplining Xu Mo because they want what's best for him. Eldest sister, why don't you understand their good intentions?"
As Xu Qingcheng listened to the gossip around her, she slowly squatted down on the ground, buried her head in her hands, and wept bitterly.
"Was I wrong? Xu Mo was clearly unconscious, why wouldn't you let him go? Why did you lock him in the basement, imprisoning him for three days and three nights without food? Don't you know how dark and damp that place is? How can you be so heartless?"
Upon hearing this, the family members all wore indifferent expressions.
Xu Anguo: "As the head of the family, one must be clear about rewards and punishments!"
Su Yun: "Xu Mo is disobedient, it's only right that he be taught a lesson!"
Second sister Xu Ruyan: "Am I only allowed to ruin my relationships, but not allowed to educate him?"
Third Sister Xu Qingxue: "If people can get away with their mistakes without being punished, then who knows how many people in this world would want to commit crimes!"
Fourth Sister Xu Mengting: "If the formula and combination of cosmetics are wrong, it could ruin a company. The best choice is to nip Xu Mo's evil in the bud!"
Xu Feng: "I support my parents' decision. If my parents say my brother is a bad kid, then he is a bad kid!"
The onlookers were also horrified when they witnessed this scene.
"What kind of values does this family have?"
"In wealthy and powerful families, the struggle for inheritance is a very serious matter, and it is perfectly normal for people to be indifferent."
"But they are family!"
"Family member, can you stop being so ridiculous? In ancient times, people would even kill their own brothers to fight for the throne! It's only because the laws are more comprehensive now, otherwise, given how ruthless this family is, they would probably have killed this kid long ago!"
"If one person is eliminated, the rest will inevitably receive a larger share of the inheritance. Don't you understand such a simple principle?"
"But isn't this abuse?"
"So what if it's abuse? Go ahead and call the police! Do you dare to call the police? If you dare to call the police, this family will send people to your door tomorrow to kill you!"
"..."
The crowd dispersed shortly afterward.
Although everyone wants to help, in today's society, helping an elderly person cross the street can result in a criminal sentence.
You might step in to stand up for someone who's been bullied, but what if the person you saved falsely accuses you for money and ends up in court?
There are only two possible outcomes.
First: You proved yourself to the judge and were acquitted, but you lost time!
Second: If you don't prove it to the judge, then I'm sorry, the charges will be upheld, and you'll face compensation and jail time—you won't be spared!
It's not that people are cold-hearted; it's just that reality is too cruel!
...
Ten minutes later, the ambulance arrived and took Xu Mo to the hospital.
When Xu Mo woke up, his head was wrapped in gauze.
He opened his eyes and saw the hospital ceiling, the IV drip in his hand, and the hospital beds surrounding him.
Oh no, there's also a cute one...
Seeing this, Nurse Xiaolin happily went over and asked, "You're awake?"
Xu Mo's gaze settled on Xiao Lin's familiar face: "Senior Lin Lin."
Nurse Xiaolin rolled her eyes at Xu Mo, then handed him a glass of warm water, saying, "In the hospital, you should call me nurse, not senior."
Xu Mo took the water glass and said, "Okay, I'll definitely do it next time."
Nurse Xiaolin then said, "After receiving the call, our hospital immediately dispatched emergency personnel. When they found you, your head was already swollen into a ball."
"When you were admitted to the hospital, all the doctors thought you had been stung by wasps. It wasn't until they saw the handprint on your face that they realized you had been slapped."
"Dr. Chu was quite worried at first, but thankfully, after the equipment tests, it turns out there's not much of a problem with your head. The only thing to be concerned about is that your concussion seems to have become more severe."
"I need to be more careful in the future and try not to get into conflicts with that family."
"Okay." Xu Mo held the water glass with both hands, taking small sips every now and then to relieve his dry throat.
Nurse Xiaolin: "By the way, have you felt any discomfort in your body?"
Xu Mo remained silent for two seconds, his expression gradually darkening.
Feeling unwell?
Apart from a slight headache, I don't seem to feel any other discomfort in my body.
But the thought that he had been inexplicably scolded and beaten up just by passing by the Xu family made him clench his fists.
"revenge……"
Nurse Xiaolin didn't quite hear her and asked in a low voice, "What are you saying?"
"I want revenge!"
Xu Mo clenched his teeth, his eyes filled with deep resentment!
Upon hearing this, Nurse Xiaolin was also surprised: "But they are your family. If you ruin your relationship, you may really have a hard time going back to that home in the future."
"The hospital didn't call the police immediately because of your relationship with the hospital. They wanted to ask you what you thought after you woke up."
“I’m no longer family with them. If I can’t go back, I can’t go back. I never intended to go back, and I don’t care to be family with them. I will not let that family of beasts get away with this! I will not let them get away with this!”
With red eyes, Xu Mo took out his phone and dialed the police.
"Hello, is this 110?"
"I am Xu Mo, and I have been beaten up by a gang of thugs!"
