Meanwhile, Chen Hao had gotten Yang Xiaoruâs call and rushed to the hospital, knowing that Yang Hui and Li Rui were beaten up. âWhatâs going on?â he asked hastily, seeing that they were severely injured.
âWe donât know. It was a group of men who beat us up the moment they spotted us. Weâve never met them, but it looks like they were coming for you. Thatâs why Iâm warning you right now,â Yang Hui said.
Coming for him? Chen Hao hesitated. âWho could it be?â
âChen Hao, a classmate told us that the one who ordered this beating was from our major, some girl called Yang Lu, whoâs really dominating. She must have been behind this!â
âWhat? Yang Lu?!â Chen Hao was shocked. After hearing the description of these men by Yang Hui and Li Rui, he knew that they couldnât possibly be typical street thugs with their fighting skills; they were even driving Maybach cars and seemed highly trained, like the type that rich families hired as bodyguards.
Yang Lu? That was impossible! Chen Hao knew Yang Xiaâs family background well, and theyâve never had bodyguards like these. But one thing was certain âYang Lu was targeting him.
In hindsight, it was strange to see her with that delighted expression when heâd bumped into her on campus. With the revenge sheâd planned, it was no wonder sheâd been expecting his downfall. But heâd never crossed Yang Lu herself, so could it be Yang Xia who really wanted revenge?
Yes, when Han Siyu had gone to Yan Jing, she had told him that Yang Xia was different now. As for Yang Xia herself, sheâd warned him on the day she was humiliated, that she would get her revenge sooner or later. Being honest with himself, Chen Hao regretted not being able to handle that incident in a better way, which led to Yang Xia having to drop out of school. But even though he regretted the incident, she could have just targeted him alone, so why would she even harm Yang Hui and Li Rui, both who she was close to?
At that moment, Chen Hao received a call from Li Zhenguo and after taking it, he froze and said, âWhat?â Then, he turned to the two boys and said, âIâll visit you two again later. Something happened to Zheng Yue and Manager Li Feihong too. I need to know whatâs going on!â
With that, Chen Hao rushed to the other hospital; Li Zhenguo and Zhao Zixing had already arrived. Li Feihong was severely injured with a broken nose, while for Zheng Yue, the only injury she sustained was a swollen face.
At this point, Chen Hao was almost certain that Yang Xia was the one who did this because if he remembered correctly, Zheng Yue had been the one to slap Yang Xia. It was possible that she held a grudge against him, then took revenge on everybody one by one. What did she go through to become this vindictive?
âYoung Master Chen!â Zhao Zixing and Li Zhenguo immediately came over to greet him, but Chen Hao was still shocked at the sight of Li Feihongâs weakened state. After all, Li Feihong was an excellent fighter with countless subordinates, and he still ended up being hospitalized after the beating, which made the whole situation all the more astounding.
Because Li Feihong was in no state to talk, Li Zhenguo told Chen Hao everything on his behalf before concluding, âYoung Master Chen, weâre pretty much certain that the Long family of Yan Jing was behind this!â
âThe Long family of Yan Jing?â Chen Hao had heard of them before. Didnât Qin Ya say that this was the same family who forced her into an engagement? But what did this family have to do with the Yang sisters?
âHas anyone asked them what they were trying to do with all this?â Chen Hao asked.
âWe have, but the Long family has denied all wrongdoing!â Li Zhenguo replied.
Now, the most important thing was to meet Yang Xia and clear things up with her. âTake care of them and my two friends. Iâll handle this!â Chen Hao said.
Since he was the one who started this whole mess, he must be the one to finish it. He wasnât afraid of the Long family because honestly, he could always use his familyâs power to bring them down if he became desperate. But what really bothered him was his cruel treatment of Yang Xia in the past, and what else could he do besides seeking her out?
Chen Hao went downstairs and called Han Siyu to ask for Yang Xiaâs number, only for her to reply, âWhat? I donât have it, Chen Hao. What makes you think I do? Hmph, and here I thought youââ All she got as a reply was a beep as Chen Hao hung up on her. If even Han Siyu didnât have it, then there was only one person left who wouldâYang Lu.
Immediately, Chen Hao drove back to school and stormed toward the third floor of the girlsâ dorms, after he quickly found out where she lived.
The dorm caretaker had planned to stop him, but one look at his car told her that he was someone important, which prevented her from taking action. With a loud crash, Chen Hao kicked the door to Yang Luâs dorm open.
âWho is it?! Ahh!!â Screams echoed from the corridor and from within the dorm where Yang Luâs roommates were; they were clutching their chests, looking clearly shaken.
âSh*t, get out! You pervert!â The girls were scared silly while Yang Lu was calmly smoking on the balcony. Seeing Chen Haoâs angry demeanor, Yang Lu seemed to know what was up but continued to smoke anyway as she stared at him.
âWhereâs your sister?â Chen Hao asked.
âWhy would I tell you that?â
âIf sheâs back, then I want to see her!â Chen Hao shouted.
âOn what grounds? My sister has made it clear that she doesnât want to see you!â Yang Lu replied.
âDonât make me do this! Did you order the beating on my friends?â Chen Hao seized Yang Luâs wrist, which caused her so much pain that she gritted her teeth.
âL-Listen to me first!â Yang Lu broke out of Chen Haoâs death grip and massaged her wrist before yelling, âI know youâre confused about a lot of things. You must be wondering how and since when did my sister and I became so influential all of a sudden. Well, fine! Since youâve barged into our dorm like this so aggressively, I can tell you some things. Come downstairs with me!â
Yang Lu took Chen Hao all the way to a small park before she stopped and said, âChen Hao, I only just realized your true identity yesterday. Hmph, turns out you were the great Young Master Chen of Jin Ling, so it was no wonder you had the guts to hurt my sister so deeply. But donât you think that youâre crueler than she is? What have we ever done to you, besides to hurt you by hurting your friends? Do you know what youâve done to her? Did you know you almost got her killed? Did you know that you almost took my sister away from me?!â
âAlmost got her killed? Me?â Chen Hao said in disbelief.
