Xia Shu’an vaguely remembered that there was a similar situation in his previous life.

There was a daughter of a wealthy family whose family background was not considered the highest. Shen Boyan brought Xia Shu’an to attend a banquet. The girl’s family wanted her to marry another wealthy family. Perhaps she was drunk, and her reason was blurred by the alcohol. When Xia Shu’an was resting in the flower gallery of the courtyard alone, she hugged Xia Shu’an.

She made a scene, saying that if he wanted, she wouldn’t marry anyone else; she just wanted to be with him.

Xia Shu’an had always known that his face was a bit attractive, not limited to men and women, but he was indeed very embarrassed at the time, especially when he saw the heavy gaze of a man in the flower gallery.

Regardless of what happened after that, the scene reappeared, and Xia Shu’an decided that this time he must change the future.

He raised his face, staring at Shen Boyan with weak and innocent eyes: “Shen Boyan, someone is chasing me; I’m very scared.”

Shen Boyan’s gaze swept over the girl lying on top of him, then he looked expressionlessly to the end of the corridor as footsteps stumbled and a man ran over while cursing roughly.

“Xia Shu’an, f*ck you; your family is bankrupt and you still want to be a hero. I’ll f*cking let you be a hero to save the beauty.”

“If I catch you, I’ll make you kneel on the bed with that b*tch and call me daddy…”

Obscenities came one after another. If Shen Boyan had just looked cold before, now his face is already ashen. Gu’s second child ran into the elevator from the corridor and grinned when he saw that the person hadn’t gotten down yet.

“Xia Shu’an, you run—”

In the next second, before he could see the figure in front of him clearly, a huge force kicked him hard in the chest, sending him flying several meters away.

Shen Boyan was half a head taller than Xia Shu’an and about 1.5 times his size. Even without these factors, the muscles in his arms and thighs are formidable enough.

Gu’s second child fell to the ground in an instant and couldn’t get up. He couldn’t even let out a wail. He curled up on the ground with cold sweat dripping from his face. Shen Boyan still felt that it was not enough, so he took two steps forward and grabbed his hair, pulling him up: “Why will call you daddy?”

Xia Shu’an couldn’t bear the sight of this scene, so he stepped forward and said, “He grabbed my shoulder just now; it hurt so much.”

A gleam of coldness flashed across Shen Boyan’s eyes, and his line of sight returned to the young man’s face.

“Which hand did he touch you with? This one?”

The shiny leather sole crushed Gu’s second child’s fingers, and his hand tightened in an instant. A bloodthirsty and cruel light flashed on Shen Boyan’s face. He lifted his foot and stepped on the other hand. “Or this one?”

“Ahh!!”

Gu’s second child wailed: “Let go, let go; do you f*cking know who my dad is?”

“Oh?” Shen Boyan said casually, “Who is it?”

As the punishment became more and more brutal, the receptionist finally arrived with the police. As soon as they saw the scene, several people were stunned. Upon seeing the scene, several people froze: Wait, who arrested who and who bullied who here?

When Gu’s second child saw the police, his eyes glowed as if he saw a life-saving straw: “Help me quickly, my father is Gu Jiakang of Gu’s Medicinal Materials!”

“Oh, it turns out that your father is Director Gu.”

“It’s good that you know; it’s not too late—”

Before he finished speaking, Shen Boyan lifted his leather shoes, and he shrank his body and twitched instantly. Shen Boyan sneered and put his feet down.

A policeman, unable to look on, said, “Comrade, don’t torture him anymore. If there’s something to say, let’s go to the police station.”

Shen Boyan had a light smile on his face, and he gently moved his feet back, adjusted his suit, and turned to the police with a polite expression.

“You’re right. The citizens should cooperate with the police. I’ll go to the police station with you. As for this young master of Gu’s Medicinal Materials, I’ll trouble you guys to take him back.”

Gu’s Medicinal Materials is well-known in the local area, but Shen Boyan’s aura and clothes aren’t ordinary either. Experienced policemen can tell at a glance that this isn’t something they can deal with. Since they are willing to cooperate and go back to the police station, it also saves them a lot of work.

At this time, a policewoman said, “I received a report stating that a suspicious man took an intoxicated woman to a room here; which lady is it?”

“Over here!”

Xia Shu’an raised his hand and said, “Look at her; she doesn’t seem quite right.”

Ji Jiayin’s breathing became heavier and heavier, and her hands and feet remained restless. She wrapped around Xia Shu’an like an octopus, shrugging her head and lips, constantly sticking them to Xia Shu’an’s face.

Xia Shu’an avoided Shen Boyan’s devouring gaze and carefully handed Ji Jiayin over to the policewoman.

“I don’t know what drug he gave her.”

“Don’t talk nonsense; I didn’t—”

The policewoman has rich experience, and she knew at a glance that something was wrong with Ji Jiayin’s situation, so she immediately said to the other police officers, “I’ll take her to the hospital first.”

“Ok.”

Gu’s second child was still yelling over there: “She was like this when I met her. I brought her to the hotel out of kindness…”

No one paid any attention to him.

The group of people separated into two cars and drove to the police station. In the middle of the night, there were only a few rioters who were also drunk and people who also came in because of a fight. Shen Boyan and the others committed both, which can be regarded as classics.

Gu’s second child went into the police station and kept yelling for his father’s people to deal with it, shouting with an arrogant face for them to wait.

Xia Sh’uan leaned against Shen Boyan, yawning lazily.

Shen Boyan glanced at him: “Sleepy?”

Xia Shu’an nodded with drooping eyelids.

Shen Boyan didn’t react at first, and only after a short while did he touch his head, his palm carrying a soothing touch.

“Is there a blanket?””

A policeman gave them a small blanket. Shen Boyan took it, thanked him, and put the blanket on Xia Shu’an.

“Sleep.”

Xia Shu’an leaned against him and closed his eyes in a daze.

Gu’s assistant was probably used to dealing with this kind of thing and arrived at the police station in less than ten minutes. As soon as he entered the door, he walked towards the table, surrounded by the largest number of people in an elite manner, and said calmly and somewhat forcefully:

“I am Director Gu’s executive assistant. I can act as Director Gu’s spokesperson and handle this matter on his behalf. Our young master…”

He was about to put pressure on the informant as usual when suddenly his expression trembled and he shouted out of composure, “Director Shen!”

The Gu family made their fortune by reselling medicinal materials. They can be regarded as a traditional Chinese medicine family in the local area. Later, when Western medicine became popular, they invested in many pharmaceutical companies and hospital equipment. However, the rapid expansion obviously didn’t allow them to find the right time. In recent years, they have suffered more losses than they have earned, and several unprocessed investments have also been recouped. They actually have to be very economical.

Shen Boyan entered Rongchuan with Biotech-Huiwen Pharmaceuticals with great momentum. As the local leader, the Gu family kept competing with Shen Boyan at first, but after being squeezed out of this large market, they finally decided to turn their hostility into friendship and cooperate with him.

In the cooperation between the two, the Shen Group is dominant, while the Gu family is at a disadvantage. Therefore, even Director Gu himself would have to smile when he saw Shen Boyan, and one of his assistants naturally did not dare to offend him.

There was no trace of a smile in Shen Boyan’s eyes, and he looked at the assistant who rushed over with a very oppressive gaze.

“Director Gu is so powerful. He can have an assistant handle everything on his behalf, and even I can’t meet him.”

The assistant sweated coldly and said, “You’re joking, Director Shen; why are you here?”

“I think you might want to ask your Second Young Master. My friend was drinking and having fun at a bar. He witnessed someone being drugged and followed them. If I had been a little late, I wouldn’t have known what was going on by now.”

Of course, Gu’s second child’s various bad deeds also included bad male and female interactions. Upon hearing this, the assistant didn’t even doubt it. In fact, he didn’t care about this young master in his heart. He just felt that the situation today wouldn’t be easy to handle after he kicked this iron plate.

He changed his high posture when he entered the door and said with a smiling face, “Director Shen, I’m really sorry. It was the second young master of our family who was in the wrong. Fortunately, it wasn’t too big of a mistake. I will definitely ask Director Gu to personally come to the door to apologize to you another day.”

“Even if you go to the door,” Shen Boyan stopped him coldly. “If Director Gu can’t control his son, I don’t mind disciplining him on his behalf.”

The assistant nodded and bowed, saying, “You’re joking. I’ll definitely convey your words to Director Gu.”

Two experienced police officers knew that this matter was going to be handled privately as soon as they saw that both sides were “nobles”.

“”Then if you want to settle privately, the case will not be filed here.”

When the assistant came in, Xia Shu’an woke up. He frowned when he heard this and was about to speak when Shen Boyan suddenly squeezed his palm.

Xia Shu’an’s heart moved, and he became quiet again.

It was early the next morning when the two walked out of the police station. The driver was already waiting at the gate. Shen Boyan was answering the assistant’s phone call, telling him not to come.

Just after leaving the police station, Xia Shu’an sneezed. Shen Boyan put away his phone with a sneer on his face: “You’re in such poor health and you still go drinking.”

These two things are not related.

Xia Shu’an rubbed his eyes and said slowly, “I’m so sleepy.”

Shen Boyan put away the sarcasm on his face and said, “The car is just outside. We will be home soon.”

“Um.”

The two of them got into the car, and the driver dimmed the lights. Only the overhead light in the car gave off a faint glow, which made Xia Shu’an feel even more drowsy. His body swayed slightly as the car moved forward, and he was constantly attacked by fatigue, but before that, “Why?” He asked.

“Why didn’t you let me talk at the police station just now?”

Shen Boyan obviously knew what he was referring to. Perhaps because it involved work, a hint of calculation flashed in his eyes: “The Ji family has been poorly run in recent years and has plans for a marriage. If I stand up for Ji Jiayin and the two families hold a wedding banquet another day, I will become the villain.”

“Besides, I made Gu’s second child suffer for this matter. Apart from resenting me, he must also resent Ji Jiayin in his heart, and at that time it will be me who destroys the couple’s relationship.”

Xia Shu’an frowned: “That Gu child behaved like this; the Ji family probably won’t let Ji Jiayin marry him, right?”

Shen Boyan played with Xia Shu’an’s fingers.

“I don’t know about that. All I know is that a person’s confidence is earned by themselves, and if they want to come out on top, they have to rely on themselves. I’m not going to do a losing deal.”

These words were in Shen Boyan’s style. Xia Shu’an hummed lightly, closed his eyes, and rested.

Tonight was really eventful. Xia Shu’an was already very sleepy when he got home. He took a shower first, and when Shen Boyan came out of the shower, he was already under cover.

As the man’s hands and feet moved up, the mattress sank. Xia Shu’an felt a surge of heat and half-slept into the arms of that heat.

He sighed contentedly: “It’s so warm.”

Xia Shu’an’s body is cold. Even in summer, his hands and feet are sometimes icy cold, not to mention autumn and winter. Shen Boyan held Xia Shuan’s hand and turned off the lights, thinking, Should they install a heating supply in the villa in advance so as not to freeze a person into a small curling stone1The stone used in a sport called “Curling” where players rolled this stone on ice, like hockey.?

With the young man in his arms, he fell asleep slowly under the lonely starry sky outside the window.
