Chapter 279: Chapter 279 - Who Should Find Whom to Settle Accounts

Chapter 279 Who Should Find Whom to Settle AccountsYan Hua rushes into the hospital and doesn’t have time to wait for the elevator. She runs up the stairs to the eighth floor. In the VIP ward, Lang Ruoxian sees her come in and hugs her.

“Where is Tang Cao? Ah? Where is Tang Cao?” Yan Hua cries and asks.

Lang Ruoxian holds her face in his hands. “Tang Cao has no life threatening. His legs are broken and he has many injuries. In the part where hurt most badly, his bones are exposed. All these can be cured. Don’t worry. Don’t worry!”

“His legs… Are broken by beating?” Yan Hua covers her mouth. How painful it would be! How did Tang Cao endure the torture a day and a night?

Lang Ruoxian hugs her. “Tang Rui went there this morning. The men who took Tang Cao away did not hit him.”

“Where is Tang Rui?” Yan Hua doesn’t move in his arms, but her voice is cold.

“I handed him over to the police.”

Yan Hua struggles. Lang Ruoxian says hastily. “I broke his legs. He had more injuries than Tang Cao.”

“Sister!” Chen Xiaopang calls her. “Rest assured! Brother Ruoxian broke that beast Tang Rui’s legs inch by inch.” He feels pain at the thought of the scene.

“Although there was no obvious wound on his body, I broke at least a few ribs of his and there were probably many internal injuries.” Chen Xiaopang clenches his fists. “We have avenged Tang Cao.”

When the doctor pushes Tang Cao to come over, Tang Cao opens his eyes widely and his legs are hung in mid-air. Except his head, he is wrapped like a mummy. He waves his only movable hand at everyone.

“I am back again!”

Yan Hua wants to hug him but is afraid of touching his wounds. She stands in front of the hospital bed, crying tearfully.

“Sister, you don’t cry. You see, I have to comfort you!” Tang Cao grins cheekily. “I just look terrible, but actually I am fine. By the way, you don’t tell our parents, do you? Grandma would be worried if she knew it.”

Yan Hua touches his head. “I didn’t say that. I’ll tell them when you get better in several days. Broken bones need 100 days to cure. You can’t hide the fact from them because you can’t remove the plaster when they come back next month.”

“Then you can tell them that I went out to play with Chen Xiaopang. He was an idiot and crashed another car, which broke my legs.”

Chen Xiaopang cries. “Tang Cao, you requite kindness with enmity. I cried for you several times today and broke the bones of that beast Tang Rui.”

“Where is Tang Rui?” Tang Cao hasn’t felt any pain for the anesthetic for the wound is still working. He begins to think how to revenge. “Sister, I tell you, none of you should stop me. When I am cured, if I don’t break the beast’s legs I will walk backwards!”

“There’s no need for you, Brother Ruoxian has already broken his legs. He has broken them inch by inch.” Chen Xiaopang narrates the scene again and looks at Lang Ruoxian’s with shining eyes.

Tang Cao is so excited that he carelessly touches the wound. Yan Hua quickly holds him down. “Stay still. Or the wound will be broken and need stitches again.”

“You stay still in the hospital!” Tong Yue rubs his eyebrows. “I’ll go home and get some sleep.”

Chen Xiaopang raises his hand. “I’ll stay here to accompany you.”

Anyway, the VIP ward is a suite with everything needed.

“I will stay, too.” Lang Ruoxian bows his head. “Hua, go home and come back tomorrow morning to bring him some food.”

“Are you afraid that my uncle’s family will come to make trouble?” Yan Hua’s expression is cold. “I won’t go either. I’ll wait for them.”

Lang Ruoxian kisses her. “Be obedient, it’s midnight. Let Shu Sheng take you back. It’s more convenient for me when they come and you’re not here. You should keep several bodyguards in the house these days, and you should also take bodyguards when you come tomorrow morning. Remember?”

“I’ll send sister back.” Tong Yue says, “I’ll pick up sister tomorrow morning.”

Tang Cao ogles Tong Yue. “I knew you cared about me. Say! Did you secretly cry too?”

“You shut up!” Tong Yue glares at him. “Why didn’t the doctor sew your mouth?”

Just when they go out of the elevator, Tong Yue and Shu Sheng suddenly pull Yan Hua to hide behind the pillar.

“What…” Yan Hua sees Huo Liyun and Tang Yu coming in from the hospital door before she finishes asking. Huo Liyun obviously has cried and is angry.

When they get into the elevator, the three people come out.

“My aunt and Tang Yu are not the opponents of Lang Ruoxian. I can feel free to go home.” Yan Hua shrugs. “Because of his identity, my uncle should not come.”

Tong Yue suddenly says, “We forget one thing.”

“Ah?”

Tong Yue is about to say when Yan Hua’s mobile phone rings. She glances at it. “Why does my mother call so late?”

“That’s what I want to say.” Tong Yue points to her mobile phone. “Even we don’t mention it, but Tang Rui’s family must have notified your mother…”

Yan Hua opens her mouth and hesitates whether to answer the phone. But she knows that if she doesn’t answer the phone, Bai Susu and other elders must be more worried. She sighs and presses the answer key.

“Hua, has Ruoxian hit Tang Rui to be disabled?” Bai Susu asks over the phone.

Tang Yao’s gloating voice can still be faintly heard. “It’s good for him to be disabled, preventing him doing bad things to others…”

“What the hell is going on?”

Yan Hua organizes the language and tells Bai Susu that Tang Rui hired some people to kidnap Tang Cao. Fortunately, Lang Ruoxian arrived in time and nothing too serious happened.

“This beast!” Yan Hua hears her father growl over there. “How dare he kidnap my son? Huo Liyun should feel bashful to call me.”

Bai Susu asks, “Where is Tang Cao? You let him answer the phone.”

“Tang Cao… Tang Cao is in the hospital.” Yan Hua bows her head and says, “His legs are broken and get plastered, so he has to stay in hospital for several days.”

There is rustling sounds. Then Bai Susu’s voice comes again. “We’ll go back tomorrow.”

“Mom, don’t worry. Tang Cao is fine, otherwise I wouldn’t have told you so easily!”

“Then I also want to go back. How can you children solve such a big problem?” Bai Susu’s voice is still very calm. “If your aunt goes to make trouble, you let her wait. Wait for me to go back tomorrow to deal with her.”

Yan Hua says “oh”, and the phone is hung up. She hurriedly calls Lang Ruoxian, but it only rings once and she hangs up.

“I’ll call him again later. Huo Liyun may have arrived in the ward by now.”

Huo Liyun rushes into the ward and runs straight towards Lang Ruoxian. She stretches out a finger to point at Lang Ruoxian and scolds. “How dare you? How dare you hit my son like that? I will put you in jail! 10 years, no! I’m going to put you in jail for life!”

Her eyes are totally red, and she throws herself on Lang Ruoxian to hit him. Chen Xiaopang, who has been on guard, pushes her away. If it weren’t for Tang Yu, she would fall to the ground.

“Lang Ruoxian.” Tang Yu says with a straight face, “Even if there is some contradiction between our two families, you can’t hit Tang Rui like that. Let alone being relatives, even ordinary people won’t hit others like that.”

“It is a mercy to hit him!” Tang Cao lies on his sickbed and shouts, “I tell you, the first thing I’ll do when I’m cured is to settle accounts with Tang Rui. You’d better hide him well.”

Huo Liyun and Tang Yu discover that Tang Cao seems to be seriously injured. Huo Liyun grits her teeth. “I don’t care why you fight. You are not fighting match for Tang Rui, so you just let Lang Ruoxian break his legs. How hard-hearted are you?”

Huo Liyun cries. “My son’s bones are broken into pieces! You are too hard-hearted.”

“Hard-hearted?” Lang Ruoxian finally says, “You’d better meet someone first and then say ‘hard-hearted’.”

Shu Sheng pushes the door and comes in. “Young Master, the man has been brought here.”

The man with two holes in his leg is sitting in a wheelchair. When he sees Lang Ruoxian, he shivers, probably because a shadow has been left in his heart.

“Talk about what Tang Rui asked you to do from beginning to end.” Lang Ruoxian raises his eyebrows. “Don’t say more, but don’t say less.”

The man grunts and nods. “I will say, I will say all…”

This man, named Zhao Laohei, has no regular job. He runs to the city to pick and steal. He knows a man who is a hooligan. The day before yesterday the hooligan suddenly came to him and said that there was a good chance to make a fortune.

“He gave me a phone number and said that this is the boss. He asked me to listen to the boss. I called and the boss asked me to kidnap a person.” Zhao Laohei glances at Tang Cao. Tang Cao looks at him, whose eyes are as sharp as a knife.

“I… I refused at first!” Zhao Laohei is about to cry. “Kidnapping is such a big deal. How dare I do that? But Tang Rui said that he wouldn’t kill the person or kidnap for ransom. He just wanted to tie him up to hit him.”

Tang Rui gave him 100,000 yuan. Zhao Laohei had never seen so much money in his life and made up his mind to agree. He himself alone was not enough, so he found two helpers from the village and gave them 5,000 yuan each.

“We took the person to the village. Before the liberation, there was a secret passage of the ancestral temple in our village. Later… Later… Tang Rui… Tang Rui broke his legs and hit him with a whip. There were barbs on the whip, and even bones were exposed in many places on his body.”

Zhao Laohei looks at Tang Cao secretly again. “Later… You have known what happened later.”

Lang Ruoxian looks at Huo Liyun and Tang Yu who are stunned. “Why? Don’t you believe it?”

“You are talking nonsense!” Huo Liyun rushes up to beat Zhao Laohei and is stopped by Shu Sheng.

Cheng Xiaopang runs over with his mobile phone. “Come on, recognize him. Isn’t it him?”

“Yes, yes! That’s him.” Zhao Laohei nods repeatedly like pounding garlic. “I know his name is Tang Rui and he is a second generation of officials.”

Huo Liyun screams and wants to rush to him. “You are talking nonsense! You are talking nonsense!”

“Mom!” Tang Yu shouts, “Calm down!”

Huo Liyun stays where she was and shakes her head absently. “Impossible… Impossible.”

“If Brother Ruoxian hadn’t been clever and quickly found me, I would have been a corpse now.” Tang Cao looks at Huo Liyun and Tang Yu with extreme disgust. “Who will you say to be hard-hearted? Your son deserves to be hit. He owes me!”

Tang Yu is dark-faced. “Lang Ruoxian, if this is really true, we will give Tang Cao an explanation. But if you have done something to cause this, then don’t blame us.”

“Go ahead.” Lang Ruoxian glances at him lightly. “You called my mother-in-law, didn’t you? She will be back tomorrow. You’d better be quick to give your explanation.”

He has just received a text message from Yan Hua, knowing that Bai Susu and other elders have booked the plane tickets.

“Mom, let’s go.” Tang Yu takes away Huo Liyun who is quite confused and stupefied. Chen Xiaopang chases them to the door and spits. “What the hell, a bastard family!”
