Zhao Shuyao paused, turned, and frowned, "What do I want? Qin Yusheng is the one with a problem and started the fight. What does it have to do with me? We're divorced. Why he hit someone, you should ask your fiancé, not me!"
Unable to stand it, Zhao Shuyao ignored Huo Yanxue and walked into the police station.
The two were taken into the interrogation room for questioning. Zhao Shuyao, separated by a one-way mirror, looked at the two men inside, feeling both amused and exasperated.
Since it was just a brawl, the police gave them a lecture and then released them.
Zhao Shuyao stood outside the door, looking at her phone. Hearing footsteps, she looked up and saw Liang Xiang and Qin Yusheng walking out one after the other.
One was like jade on the outside, a peerless gentleman; the other was cold and ruthless, his expression dark and icy, like an Asura from hell.
Zhao Shuyao smiled slightly and walked towards Liang Xiang, "Are you alright? Where are you hurt? I'll take you to the hospital..."
The moment Zhao Shuyao smiled, Qin Yusheng almost thought she was smiling at him.
But she walked past him.
Then, he heard her gentle voice, a voice he had never heard before.
His anger, which had just subsided, instantly flared up.
Just as he was about to lash out, Huo Yanxue cried out and threw herself into his arms.
"Brother Yusheng, you scared me to death. What's wrong with you? I've never seen you like this. Please don't scare me, you have no idea how worried I am about you!"
Before she could say much, Huo Yanxue started crying, her sorrow boundless.
Before, he thought she was sensitive and emotional. Now, hearing Huo Yanxue's cries, he only found it noisy and irritating.
He then looked at Zhao Shuyao, holding Liang Xiang's hand, walking into the police station with a smile. They were whispering to each other, like a perfect couple.
An indescribable feeling spread through his heart.
When Huo Yanxue looked up, she saw Qin Yusheng's gloomy expression and was startled, "Brother Yusheng, what's wrong? Who made you unhappy? I'll take you to the hospital, you can't be like this..."
As she spoke, she pulled Qin Yusheng's hand and led him out.
Qin Yusheng only then realized the pain in his body. His mind had been so full of anger that he hadn't felt the pain.
Although Liang Xiang's blows weren't heavy, each one hit a vital spot.
Realizing this, his internal organs ached faintly.
"I'll go to the hospital myself. You go back and rest." Qin Yusheng took his car keys, walked to the car, closed the door, and drove away.
Huo Yanxue chased after him, only seeing the rear of a sports car.
Qin Yusheng underwent a full body examination at the hospital. He had minor bleeding in his kidneys and abdomen. Although not serious, it was severe enough to require hospitalization. Any slight carelessness could lead to severe consequences.
As expected of an internal medicine doctor...
Qin Yusheng completed the hospitalization procedures and took out his phone to make a call after lying down.
"Help me do one thing... fire Liang Xiang..."
Liang Xiang had his examination. He only had bruises, no other serious injuries, except for his face, which was swollen from Qin Yusheng's beating. Although not very swollen, his entire eye socket was bruised. After wiping away the blood from the corner of his mouth, Zhao Shuyao felt a pang in her heart.
"It's all my fault. Qin Yusheng must have hit you because of me."
Zhao Shuyao's heart tightened.
Seeing Liang Xiang implicated because of her, she felt an indescribable discomfort.
Zhao Shuyao couldn't understand why Qin Yusheng, this madman who acted without any logic, would beat Liang Xiang.
He wouldn't let her go even after the divorce!
"It's alright. It's normal for him to hit me. After all, he lost such a good girl. Seeing you so close to me, he would naturally go crazy."
Liang Xiang smiled slightly and held Zhao Shuyao's hand.
A nurse was applying medicine to Liang Xiang and seemed to recognize him, "Oh my goodness, you're that renowned internal medicine director in Haicheng? Doctor Xiang?"
Zhao Shuyao was also surprised. She hadn't expected Liang Xiang to be recognized here. It seemed he was quite famous in the medical field!
"It's not me, you've mistaken me. I have a wife, she's right here. The Doctor Xiang you're talking about is probably single, right?"
Liang Xiang responded politely to the nurse with a smile.
The nurse was taken aback, then seemed to find his explanation reasonable and nodded, "Indeed..."
Zhao Shuyao felt awkward. Liang Xiang was deceiving the young woman. No wonder he was still single after all these years. He was truly exceptional at fending off admirers.
"Then that's right, I'm not the person you're talking about."
Hearing Liang Xiang's words, the nurse seemed a little disappointed. She finished applying the medicine and bandaging his wounds, then picked up her tray and left.
Zhao Shuyao suddenly thought of something, "Oh no, Qin Yusheng will definitely go after you! What will you do then!"
Zhao Shuyao knew Qin Yusheng too well. When this man wanted to target someone, he would never let go.
It would definitely be more than just physical violence.
Liang Xiang's phone vibrated.
Zhao Shuyao felt a vague sense of unease as she watched Liang Xiang answer the call.
As the man listened to what the person on the other end was saying, his expression became somewhat somber. Zhao Shuyao's heart sank, it was definitely bad news.
Qin Yusheng was always quick, decisive, and ruthless. He would deal with things immediately and never postpone them. Moreover, his methods were brutal, cutting off all roots. Even towards Liang Xiang, he would be no exception.
Zhao Shuyao's hands and feet turned cold. After Liang Xiang hung up, she asked, "How is it? Is it Qin Yusheng? Did he target you?"
"It seems your guess is correct. However, this move is useless against me. Qin Yusheng fired me, but it has no practical effect..."
Liang Xiang's lips curved slightly, a hint of meaning in his smile.
Zhao Shuyao couldn't quite understand Liang Xiang's smile, "I caused you to lose your job? Doctor Xiang, I'm truly sorry..."
"There's no need to say sorry. Qin Yusheng can't threaten me. Rest assured, Qin Yusheng is a thing of your past. Don't live in his shadow. I hope you can be happy in the days to come."
Liang Xiang's tone was relaxed, not like someone who had just been fired.
Zhao Shuyao's beautiful eyes widened, "Doctor Xiang, I caused you to be fired, why can you still speak to me so casually? You lost your job..."
At Liang Xiang's age, becoming an internal medicine director must have required a great deal of effort and dedication. To be fired by Qin Yusheng, one could either say this man had a good temper or that he simply didn't care about such things.
"Work can be found again, but your happiness, once lost, is gone. Promise me you'll be happier from now on. I don't want to see you looking sad every time."
Liang Xiang reached out and pinched Zhao Shuyao's cheek.
Although Zhao Shuyao had a V-shaped face, her cheeks were a little plump. Therefore, even when dressed maturely and sexily, she didn't appear vulgar. Instead, she looked pure and alluring, due to her youthful appearance and face shape.
