After Jiang Zhixia kicked open the door, she saw Su Chen being carelessly thrown on the ground.

He was curled up, his eyes were closed, and his lips were frighteningly white.

She almost couldn't hold back her tears and they fell right there on the spot, completely pathetic.

This gentle and warm person is now so fragile, as if they would break at the slightest touch.

She had thought that Su Chen would suffer at home, but she never expected Su Chen to be like this.

This is utterly devastating!

Is Su Tongwei really his biological mother?!

Jiang Zhixia couldn't carry the person herself, so she yelled at several servants from the Su family, as if she were going to snatch the person away.

Su Tongwei and her son Su Mingxu, who followed them in, had extremely grim expressions.

Jiang Zhixia shielded the person behind her, leaving behind a parting remark before departing.

"Master Su, you're so arrogant! Bullying my fiancé, do you not respect the royal family at all? Just you wait!"

After saying that, he jumped into the car and flew out in a flash.

Su Tongwei: "..." What is all this about?!

Su Mingxu watched helplessly as Jiang Zhixia protected Su Chen like a precious treasure and left, his teeth clenched in anger.

Is Jiang Zhixia really that concerned about Zhengfu?!

Contrary to her son's expectations, Su Tongwei only panicked for a short while before calming down.

Since the situation was already quite ugly, it was better for Jiang Zhixia to take the person away.

She was confident that Su Chen wouldn't dare to spout nonsense once he woke up.

……

Jiang Zhixia sent the person directly to the Imperial Central Hospital.

She rushed in, shouting for help, and medical staff scrambled out in a flurry.

After recognizing who the unconscious person was, the on-duty therapist stared wide-eyed but dared not utter a sound.

Isn't this the therapist Su who was just announced by the royal family as their official husband?

Just a few days ago, there was a lot of talk about how the royal family didn't pick up the engaged princess, leading people to believe that the princess was dissatisfied with her husband. But now, seeing the princess herself so anxious that her eyes are red, what doesn't he understand?

This is a big scoop!

"Treatment pod! Quickly!"

Su Chen was quickly taken into the treatment pod.

The treatment pods were expensive, starting at five figures in gold coins per minute. Jiang Zhixia paid the money and stood guard outside the transparent pod door.

The therapist walked over with the test report, her expression complicated.

"Princess, Healer Su has no external injuries."

Jiang Zhixia was taken aback: "No external injuries?"

"Yes," the therapist hesitated for a moment, "but the tests show that he has experienced multiple high-intensity electric shocks, resulting in persistent damage to his mental strength. Deer people generally have low physical strength and weak tolerance, so this level of electric shock..."

He couldn't bear to continue.

Jiang Zhixia's mind went blank.

Multiple electric shocks?

Persistent damage?

After a long while, she finally heard herself ask in a hoarse voice, "Will there be any aftereffects?"

The therapist paused for a moment: "The treatment chamber can only repair external injuries; it's powerless against mental damage, and most importantly, it's psychological... Even captured enemy soldiers on the battlefield can't withstand more than a few rounds of this kind of treatment."

She closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

Is Su Tongwei sick in the head?

Are you treating your own son like an enemy soldier?!

She gritted her teeth and ordered, "I don't want a single word about what happened today to be heard outside."

The therapist felt a chill run down his spine, realizing the princess was angry, and quickly lowered his head: "Yes, Princess."

Jiang Zhixia was genuinely angry.

The reason she reacted so strongly is because she had experienced something similar before.

In her past life, if her deadbeat father hadn't found her a stepmother and had another son before he died, the house and savings her mother left her in her hometown wouldn't have been seized by that mother and son.

She wouldn't have gone to great lengths to squeeze into big cities for high-paying jobs, working herself to the bone for years, ruining her health, and ultimately dying suddenly.

But at least she was never electrocuted or physically abused.

No wonder... no wonder Su Chen was so persistent about the kindness the female lead showed him later on, and was used as a backup by her.

Less than ten minutes later, Su Chen was slowly pushed out.

He was still unconscious, but his breathing had become much more stable.

Jiang Zhixia asked, "When will you wake up?"

The healer said hesitantly, "Princess, I'm not sure. The treatment chamber can only repair damage, not replenish strength. He needs rest."

She nodded and gestured to the two medical staff members next to her: "Help me get him into the car."

She wanted to take Su Chen home.

Just then, the door to the treatment room was pushed open.

Jiang Zhixia turned around and saw, "Big brother? What brings you here?"

Jiang Ting stood at the door, his gaze sweeping indifferently across the room.

Upon seeing the unconscious Su Chen, he frowned imperceptibly.

"You went to the Su family's house?"

Jiang Zhixia, harboring a bellyful of grievances and anger, saw Jiang Ting and immediately rushed over to complain.

"Big brother! They're bullying us! The Su family is utterly despicable! They abused my fiancé, even using electric shocks! Electric shocks! Is he even her own son? How could she do that!"

The therapist next to me tremblingly handed over the test report.

Jiang Ting took it and glanced at it with his eyes down.

The report's data shows that repeated, high-intensity electric shocks over a long period can cause mental impairment and disorder...

He knew that Su Tongwei dared to be so unscrupulous partly because of the royal family's tough attitude towards the Su family these past few days.

The Su family probably felt that Su Chen had lost his value, so they decided to vent their resentment.

However, the report also clearly states that this abuse was long-term and not the work of one person alone.

Jiang Ting wouldn't take on everything himself.

But when he looked down, he saw Jiang Zhixia looking up at him with a pleading expression, her eyes red and tears welling up as she complained to him, as if she had been wronged and was hoping he would stand up for her.

His eyes flickered slightly.

"...Hmm," he responded, and under Jiang Zhixia's eager gaze, he added two more words, "Too much."

Jiang Zhixia nodded fiercely, "That's right! They bullied my people, so they're bullying me! Bullying me is bullying the royal family! They're showing no respect for the royal family!"

Jiang Ting: "...Yes."

Seeing her older brother agree with her, Jiang Zhixia became even bolder and directly grabbed Jiang Ting's sleeve and shook it gently.

"Big brother, the Su family has gone too far. Shouldn't they be taught a lesson?"

Jiang Ting lowered his eyes and looked at the female who was tugging at his sleeve.

Her eyes held a hint of dependence, completely unaware that he was the one who had dragged her into the shadows and pinned her against the wall for a forceful kiss just days before.

They even used him as a backer.

A dark current surged in Jiang Ting's eyes, and after a long while, he finally uttered a single, deep word.

"it is good."

The therapist, who had been listening the whole time, wished he could shrink into a wall on the spot.

What kind of mess has the Su family created?

Finally, Jiang Zhixia left with Su Chen on her own.

Fearing that Jiang Ting would go with her and run into Lu Jue, she used both soft and hard tactics to push Jiang Ting to teach the Su family a lesson, while she herself ran away in a flash.

Jiang Ting stood at the hospital entrance, watching as the girl, having finished her sweet talk and achieved her goal, abandoned him without a second thought to take care of her fiancé. His face remained expressionless.

His subordinate cautiously asked, "General, what should we do...?"

Jiang Ting withdrew his gaze. "Let's go to the Su family."

She rarely asked him for anything.

This time, I didn't avoid him; I took the initiative to ask him for help.

He had no reason to refuse.
