The sky collapsed, and in the blink of an eye, I found myself transported to Nanluoguxiang.

Just as the stalemate was at its peak, footsteps echoed from the distance down the corridor.

A middle-aged couple rushed over, but before they even reached them, the middle-aged woman's shrill curses preceded them:

"Hey! You shameless hussy, instead of staying home with your old hag, you've come here to cause trouble!"

That shout immediately drew everyone's attention.

Captain Wang looked at the newcomers and felt utterly overwhelmed. Things were already chaotic enough, and now another pair had arrived.

Upon seeing the newcomers, Aunt Yang instantly turned her anger towards the newly arrived woman:

"You old hag! Who are you calling a bitch?"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly turned around and lunged at the woman, reaching out to scratch her.

This time, Master Chen and Captain Wang couldn't stop her. It was already difficult enough to stop her from rushing forward, and now they didn't have time to react at all.

The woman who arrived later was equally determined and immediately went to meet her. The two women then began to tear at each other and wrestle.

Li Kaixin's previously cold face froze, and she stood there stunned for a moment.

To his surprise, the woman's husband stood by without offering any help.

When Li Kaixin came to her senses, she walked over to Captain Wang and Master Chen, and asked in a low voice, "Captain Wang, Master Chen, what's going on now?"

"These two are Du Ziteng's parents. I went to the hospital this afternoon and witnessed their two families arguing."

Captain Wang rubbed his temples and answered in a low voice with a helpless expression.

Master Chen, who was standing nearby, also leaned closer and whispered a reminder:

"Kaixin, you were a bit impulsive today. If you had actually hit her, with so many eyes watching, even if we were in the right, it wouldn't look good on our reputation."

As he spoke, he subtly winked in the direction of Du's father:

"Look, his wife is fighting with Aunt Yang like this, and he hasn't even laid a hand on her. These days, some things..."

He didn't finish his sentence.

"Thank you, Master. I understand," Li Kaixin said sincerely.

After his master gave him a hint, he immediately realized what was going on, and at the same time, his annoyance with Yang Hua'an deepened.

He absolutely refused to believe that Yang Hua'an hadn't instigated this.

In the arena, the two wrestling partners were locked in a stalemate. Aunt Yang was tightly gripping Du's mother's hair, while Du's mother was digging into Aunt Yang's face.

Captain Wang knew he couldn't let them continue causing trouble, and shouted angrily:

"Enough! This is a guesthouse, not your own home! If you hit me again, I'll take you all to the police station!"

Hearing Captain Wang's anger and the threat of being taken to the police station, the two men who were wrestling snorted and reluctantly let go.

Du's mother straightened her clothes and tidied her hair, ignoring Aunt Yang beside her. Together with Du's father, they put on a different face and walked up to Li Kaixin with smiles on their faces.

"You must be Happy Brother?" Mrs. Du asked warmly.

Li Kaixin was somewhat surprised by how quickly the two people changed their expressions, and subconsciously replied, "It's me."

Upon hearing Li Kaixin's answer, Mr. and Mrs. Du became even more attentive.

Mrs. Du continued, "I'm so glad to see you! Thank you for putting aside past grievances and saving my son."

As she spoke, she pulled her husband down to kneel.

When they received the call from the transport team that day, saying that their son was seriously injured, they almost fainted. They took leave the next day and rushed over.

It was from their son that they learned the reason for his injury, as well as Li Kaixin's act of helping him and the previous minor conflicts.

"No, please don't do this!"

Li Kaixin quickly reached out to help the two of them up, and then continued:

"It was nothing. Besides, Du Ziteng and I only had a verbal argument; it's nothing serious."

With Li Kaixin's help, Mr. and Mrs. Du stood up.

Mr. Du sighed and said, "Young man Kaixin, my son isn't really a bad person; we've just spoiled him. Please forgive him."

Having experienced much in society, he secretly blamed his son for being immature after hearing about Li Kaixin's situation from his son.

Instead of befriending such a young, promising, and capable person, you risk offending them.

"It's alright, Du Ziteng has already apologized to me, and I've already let it go," Li Kaixin waved his hand, speaking frankly.

Seeing that Li Kaixin didn't seem to care, Mr. Du breathed a sigh of relief and then tentatively extended an invitation:

"Happy young man, once my son Ziteng has recovered, could he treat you to a meal? It would be a way for us to express our gratitude for saving his life."

After saying that, the couple looked at Li Kaixin with hopeful eyes.

Li Kaixin felt a little overwhelmed by the gaze and nodded in agreement. As for whether she would go in the future, she would decide later.

When Mr. and Mrs. Du saw Li Kaixin nod, their faces immediately lit up with smiles.

Their invitation to Li Kaixin to dinner had two underlying reasons:

Firstly, I sincerely want to express my gratitude; secondly, I hope that my son can take this opportunity to mend his relationship with Li Kaixin, and it would be even better if they could become friends.

At this moment, Aunt Yang, who was some distance away, seeing that no one was paying attention to her, plopped down on the ground, slapped her thigh, and started yelling:

"This is outrageous! This is outrageous! You've ruined my man's hand, and now you're ganging up on me, a mere woman!"

Her sobs grew louder and louder, echoing throughout the corridor.

Captain Wang hadn't expected her to cause such a ruckus, and he felt disgusted not only with Yang Hua'an, but also with the whole family.

Without further ado, he stepped forward and said to Aunt Yang in a deep voice:

"That's enough! Your man knows best how this happened. When he gets back tomorrow, he can expect a reprimand from the station!"

Aunt Yang's wailing clearly faltered; this was different from what her husband had said.

He immediately retorted in a shrill voice:

"Captain Wang, you can't wrongly accuse an innocent person!"

"The car overturned because that brat Du Ziteng grabbed the steering wheel from my man!"

Then his finger suddenly pointed at Li Kaixin:

"And this kid, not only did he not treat my man's hand, he also used needles to make him mute for several days!"

Upon hearing this, Du's mother's anger flared up again, and she wanted to rush over to argue, but Du's father stopped her.

Captain Wang shook his head; he hadn't expected Yang Hua'an to be so stubborn even at this point.

Yang Hua'an is a veteran in the team, so how could he not know that there is a vehicle inspection after a rollover?

As for Li Kaixin silencing him, that was his own fault for being so talkative.

Captain Wang, too lazy to argue any further, said bluntly, "Aunt Yang, if you keep making a scene like this, I'll have to ask the police to take you away."

When Aunt Yang saw the threatening look in Captain Wang's eyes, she felt a chill run down her spine and stopped crying and cursing.

Immediately, he got up, said nothing more, and slunk away down the corridor.

After seeing Aunt Yang leave, Captain Wang turned around and looked at Mr. and Mrs. Du.

He didn't have any ill feelings towards the couple; in fact, he liked them somewhat.

This afternoon when he went to the ward, the two of them not only didn't complain at all, but also kept thanking the transport team for their care.

His tone softened: "Why did you two come along too?"

Mr. Du quickly explained, "We overheard Yang Hua'an and his wife discussing coming here to find little Kaixin, and we were worried he might get hurt, so we came to check it out."

He paused, then added, "Everything's alright now, so we won't bother you any longer."

After saying that, he nodded to Li Kaixin, then turned and left with his wife.

Li Kaixin watched the two figures disappear into the distance and sighed softly to himself. It seemed that he really wouldn't be able to refuse this meal in the future.
