At the main entrance of the hospital!
A crowd of onlookers had gathered. Wooden clubs were scattered on the ground, and several social youths lay moaning on the ground.
Ye Cangtian, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, grinned and said, "Did I lie to you? You guys have good luck, happening to be at the hospital entrance, saving a lot on taxi fare!"
The social youths looked miserable. Damn it, they had really kicked a steel plate this time!
Just then, Xiao Yu Ru anxiously pushed through the crowd.
When she saw the scene before her, she was momentarily speechless!
Earlier, upstairs, she had clearly seen several social youths surrounding Ye Cangtian with clubs. Yet, in just this single minute, she found those social youths lying on the ground.
To think she had been worried earlier, if Ye Cangtian had an accident, she wouldn't know how to explain it to Tang Xin Wan!
Ye Cangtian looked up and saw Xiao Yu Ru, then smiled and said, "Miss Xiao, please call some people to carry them inside. Several of them have broken legs, and if we delay, they might be crippled!"
Xiao Yu Ru was speechless, but looking at those guys lying on the ground clutching their legs in pain, she couldn't help but feel a shock!
Their legs were deformed. What had happened to them in this past minute?
This... who exactly was Xin Wan's fiancé?
Just then, a police siren sounded.
"Who called the police?" Two patrol officers got out of the car.
...
In the CEO's office of the Haitan Building!
"Nonsense! You're not a child anymore, how could you make such a foolish decision?" Uncle Tang Yong Chang reprimanded.
He had originally thought Tang Xin Wan would consider the eldest young master of the He family, but he hadn't expected her to act on her own and get engaged to an outsider, and what's worse, Young Master He had seen it.
This had thoroughly offended Young Master He!
Tang Yong Chang was furious beyond words and continued, "Young Master He has admired you for a long time. Once you associate with him and marry into a wealthy family, it will not only benefit you but also allow our Tang family to latch onto the He family's influence! But you..."
The He family was one of Yangzhou's three top aristocratic families!
Once the two families formed an alliance, given time, the Tang family would eventually rise. Not to become a top aristocratic family, but at least to improve by one level from its current standing!
Tang Yong Chang pondered, then added, "However, it's not too late! Xin Wan, you must immediately come with me to the He family to apologize and agree to associate with Young Master He. Everything can still be salvaged!"
Tang Xin Wan's face showed a sneer, and she said coldly, "Uncle, don't bother yourself! This is my marriage, not a tool for family transactions. My engagement with Ye Cangtian is settled and will not change!"
"Since you are stubbornly clinging to your ways, then don't blame your uncle for being harsh. From today onwards, in the name of the Tang family, I will reclaim control of Haitan Pharmaceuticals!" Seeing her stubborn attitude, Tang Yong Chang decided to drop all pretense.
"Uncle, are you going back on your word? Yesterday, you personally said that as long as I get married, Haitan Pharmaceuticals will still be managed by me!" Tang Xin Wan gritted her teeth and questioned.
Tang Yong Chang sneered, "I did say that, but don't forget, the marriage of Tang family descendants must be approved by the elders. You think I wouldn't see through your attempt to fool me with just any ordinary person?"
Tang Xin Wan was taken aback and clenched her teeth tightly. She was furious!
He always used family rules to threaten her! He always treated her marriage as a tool to gain benefits for the family!
Suddenly, a mobile phone ringtone sounded!
Tang Xin Wan glanced at the phone screen on the desk, a hint of confusion in her brows, but she still picked up the phone.
"What? He's been arrested? For a brawl?" Tang Xin Wan's eyes widened.
The call was from Xiao Yu Ru, claiming that Ye Cangtian had been arrested for participating in a brawl!
This scoundrel!
Even Tang Yong Chang, who was beside her, heard the content of the conversation, a cold smile on his face. He shook his head and said, "Niece Xin Wan, what can I say about you? Associating with those disreputable people outside is truly disgracing our Tang family!"
Tang Xin Wan ignored him. After listening to Xiao Yu Ru speak a few more words on the phone, she relaxed and said, "Alright, then I'll trouble you with this matter!"
After hanging up the phone!
Tang Xin Wan took a deep breath, looked up at her uncle Tang Yong Chang, and returned to the previous topic, saying, "Uncle, you just said that the marriage of Tang family descendants must be approved by the elders. Then, what if it was grandfather who arranged the engagement for me?"
Tang Yong Chang's brows furrowed, but he still said seriously, "The old man is the head of the family, so naturally, there's no problem!"
Tang Xin Wan smiled, took out a piece of yellow parchment from the drawer, and placed it on the desk. She said, "This marriage contract is the one grandfather arranged for me more than ten years ago, and that person is Ye Cangtian!"
"It bears grandfather's handwriting and his fingerprint. Uncle can take it for authentication if you don't believe me!"
Tang Yong Chang was stunned. He quickly picked up the marriage contract, and his expression instantly turned grim! He didn't need to authenticate it; he could tell at a glance that the marriage contract was genuine.
After a long pause, he put down the contract and remained silent, his face dark.
...
At this moment!
Yangzhou City Police Station, first-floor interrogation room.
Ye Cangtian was somewhat helpless. He had acted in self-defense, but because he had used too much force, he was brought back to the police station for interrogation.
Moreover, it had been half an hour, and there was no one in the interrogation room.
He yawned several times, almost falling asleep, when the door to the interrogation room finally opened.
Two police officers walked in, chatting.
"Boss, six of the people involved in the brawl today had fractured thighs, all caused by him!"
"Mmm, have the surveillance cameras been retrieved?"
"Still in the process of handover with the hospital, should be soon!"
After the two police officers entered the interrogation room, they sat down at the table in front. One of them, with a ponytail, was actually a female police officer.
The female police officer was clearly the team leader. After sitting down, she said indifferently, "Let's begin!"
Just then, a voice suddenly said, "Hey, you're actually a police officer!"
The female police officer was startled. She looked up at the person in the interrogation chair and her eyebrows immediately shot up. She sneered, "It's you!"
Xu Wei Wei was indeed surprised. She hadn't expected one of the people involved in the brawl today to be her new neighbor who had just moved in across the street.
But she had already seen that this guy looked like a rogue and not a good person. Now that he had fallen into her hands, it could be considered 'fate'!
Her mood suddenly brightened. Xu Wei Wei smiled and said to the young policeman beside her, "Xiao Liu, the interrogation can begin. And while you're at it, thoroughly check his prior criminal record!"
Across from her, Ye Cangtian revealed a bright smile. This girl seemed to have ill intentions, didn't she?
