The hotel staff called the police.
The ambulance took Song Ze to the hospital. He was seriously injured, with two broken ribs and minor stomach bleeding.
Song Duocai was furious. "That savage! He actually dared to hit my son..."
Shen Shixun was just a man with no background. He dared to lay a hand on his son. Song Duocai thought to himself, if he didn't make him suffer, he wouldn't be a Song.
"Son, how are you? Are you feeling better?" Zhou Lan's heart was breaking; he was her only son.
"We must get to the bottom of this and make sure that guy surnamed Chen goes to jail!"
In the past, Shen Shixun was just a nobody to these people. He only became truly remembered because of his one-night stand with Xiang Nanzhi.
"He thinks that just because he's become the son-in-law of the Xiang family, he can bully my son. To the Xiang family, he's nothing but a beast."
"Pah, calling him a beast is an understatement."
"He must go to jail. I'm calling a lawyer right now."
Just as Zhou Lan was about to take action, Song Duocai received a phone call.
It was none other than Zhang Yandong. "Hey, Mr. Zhang."
The Song family and the Zhang family have no cooperation, so why would Zhang Yandong take the initiative to contact him?
"Is Song Ze alright?"
"Mr. Zhang, what's wrong...?"
“I’ve already retrieved the hotel’s surveillance footage. If Mr. Song is curious about what happened, I can send it to you privately. I will fight to the end if it comes to legal proceedings, but I must remind you, Mr. Song, that you will not gain anything.”
Song Duocai stood there stunned. Zhou Lan said unhappily, "At a time like this, you still have the mood to answer work calls? Is your work more important than your son's life?"
The next second, Song Duo received a video from Zhang Yandong. The video was short, but it was clear what had happened: Song Ze and Xiang Nanzhi were kissing, and Shen Shixun went over to beat them up.
Inside the car, Shen Shixun seemed to have pent-up anger that eventually froze into ice, solidifying on his body.
Only after Zhang Yandong made the call beside him did his frozen lips begin to speak, “Don’t offend them because of me.”
“I also took action; we’re all in the same boat now.”
"Brother Dong."
"Sehun, we're brothers for life, don't be so formal with me."
Without money and power in the ancient city, it's hard to live with your head held high. Zhang Yandong advised him that since he had become involved with the Xiang family, he shouldn't expect to get away unscathed.
The vast grasslands he longed for were long gone; Xiang Nanzhi didn't belong to the grasslands and would never go back with him.
She is a delicate flower in the ancient city. Even if she does something wrong when she is willful, she can always turn wrong into right in the face of justice.
Xiang Nanzhi kept chasing after the car in front, her eyes red and tears streaming down her face.
Shen Shixun turned off his phone immediately, not wanting to hear her voice at all.
She gripped the steering wheel. "Shen Shixun, answer the phone."
The car finally stopped in the Zhang Group's parking lot. Xiang Nanzhi got out without even parking in a space. "Shen Shixun..."
She looked extremely disheveled. "Shen Shixun, let me explain."
She grabbed his arm, but the man didn't move, his eyes as cold as ice. "It's not what you see. I'm planning to meet with Song Ze alone today to clear things up..."
“Xiang Nanzhi”.
The man, expressionless, interrupted her, "Isn't it fun?"
Seeing how he couldn't control his feelings for her, how he lingered in bed with her, how he was completely captivated by her, and how he utterly fell at her feet.
Xiang Nanzhi's tears immediately welled up, "No..."
Shen Shixun wanted to shake off her hand; he didn't want to see her right now. But at the moment he was about to do it, he remembered that she was pregnant, so he simply reached out and removed her hand from his body.
"No, I wasn't playing a trick on you."
"It's not what you see at all..."
She suddenly burst into uncontrollable sobs, almost unable to stand, her voice trembling, "Shen Shixun, it's not... it's not what you see at all."
“Shen Shixun…”
Zhang Yandong left with him, and after taking only a few steps, they heard a thud behind them.
Before Zhang Yandong could react, the person next to him flew out like an arrow.
Her sickly, frosty face was instantly covered with tension and panic, "Xiang Nanzhi..."
He picked the man up, and Zhang Yandong, seeing his manish state, tossed him the car keys.
At the hospital, Shen Shixun was only responsible for taking the person there, and then he called Xiang Jingyi.
After understanding the cause and effect of the matter, and having someone check the hotel's surveillance footage, Xiang Zhengyi slammed his fist on the table in anger, exclaiming, "That Song Ze, he's got some nerve!"
"Dad, don't be angry anymore. Shen Shixun has already avenged you."
When Xiang Jingyi and Xiang Ciyuan heard about the situation, they were so angry they wanted to beat Song Ze to death. However, they felt a little better after learning that Song Ze was unconscious in the hospital and had broken two ribs.
"How did you two brothers protect your sister?"
Xiang Jing lowered his head, feeling very guilty. He knew that Song Ze would definitely come to find Xiang Nanzhi after he officially broke up with Jiang Yao, but he never expected Song Ze to be so bold.
“Dad, we can’t blame ourselves. Zhizhi doesn’t like to go out with people, and we can’t always follow her around.”
“Shen Shixun…”
Xiang Nanzhi woke up with a start, "Dad, where is he?"
Xiang Zhengyi paused for a moment, then looked at Xiang Jingyi, "Where is he?"
“Zhizhi…”
"Big brother, where's Shen Shixun? I need to talk to him. Where is he? I'm here now..."
"Zhizhi, you can't get too emotional right now, even though the first three months are over."
"Big brother!"
“I’ll call him over.”
Xiang Nanzhi's eyes were swollen from crying, and she looked particularly listless, haggard, and nervous. Her lips were pale. "Dad, Big Brother, I need to find Shen Shixun."
"Zhizhi, don't move. Dad will have someone bring him over now, right now."
Xiang Ciyuan sneered, "A son-in-law who's coming to live with the family, and you're so nervous..."
Xiang Jingyi quickly gave Xiang Ciyuan a look, and Xiang Ciyuan knew he couldn't continue.
Shen Shixun refused to see Xiang Nanzhi no matter what. He packed his things and returned to his previous rented room, determined to sever all ties with the Xiang family.
Xiang Jingyi couldn't persuade him to come, so he couldn't resort to violence like before. After all, as a man, he knew what he was doing, and it was understandable that Shen Shixun had a temper.
Xiang Zhengyi had no choice but to go there himself. When he arrived at the rented room, it reminded him of the old city's appearance from thirty years ago.
