The whole thing happened because I couldn't control myself and it was unavoidable!

The more you suppress your feelings, the more intense they will be when they erupt. Su Man'er had already fallen for Gu Feng and knew that this would happen sooner or later, but with this medicine as a prerequisite, the two of them became even more natural and unrestrained.

Meanwhile, the Municipal People's Hospital was already bustling with activity.

Chu Hanzhong turned around and went to the Municipal People's Hospital halfway to Bolan Street. Originally, he really didn't want to see Zheng Aniu, who was worse than trash, again. But then he thought, no matter how bad he was, he was still his brother-in-law. Besides, Chu Xinran said on the phone that he was seriously injured and his life was in danger!

When he arrived at the Municipal People's Hospital, the police officers who had escorted Zheng Aniu also arrived. They skipped the pleasantries, nodded to each other, and immediately used a lathe to push the unconscious Zheng Aniu to the orthopedics department.

Tonight, the orthopedics department of the Municipal People's Hospital is on duty, a position that only comes around once every three months. He was quite surprised to see Director Chu, whom he had met a few times before, pushing an injured person in. Had Director Chu caught a serious criminal tonight? It seems that this Director Chu has added another achievement to his list of accomplishments!

Director Chu recognized Director Zhang, but he didn't have time for pleasantries. He quickly handed Zheng Aniu over to him, saying, "Director Zhang, please, this is my brother-in-law!"

When Director Zhang learned that the seriously injured person was actually Chu Hanzhong's brother-in-law, he realized his misunderstanding. However, digging into the details was clearly not a doctor's job. His duty was to treat everyone equally, good or bad, as patients. "Don't worry, I'll do my best!"

An expert can tell a lot just by looking at someone. When Director Zhang entered the emergency operating room, he only glanced at Zheng Aniu lying on the table a few times before instructing his assistant to write the diagnosis: comminuted spiral fractures of the ulna, radius, and humerus in both hands, three rib fractures, hemothorax, ruptured spleen, severe contusion and laceration of the corpus cavernosum in the lower body... The diagnosis report listed a long string of more than a dozen items.

Director Zhang spoke so fast he almost couldn't catch his breath, and his assistant's hand, which was writing nonstop, nearly cramped up!

After Zhang finished his diagnosis, he had his assistant issue a critical condition notice and an emergency surgery consent form for Zheng Aniu before having the assistant take it out for Director Chu outside to sign.

People need to be saved, but procedures also need to be completed. Signing and fingerprinting are protective measures for patients, their families, and doctors alike.

After Director Chu hastily signed his name, Zheng Aniu's emergency treatment truly began.

Not long after, Chu Xinran's mother, Zheng Fengjiao, her eldest uncle Zheng Guoqiang, her second uncle Zheng Chengli, her third uncle Zheng Deming, her second uncle Chu Hanliang, Zheng Aniu's wife, and a whole host of relatives arrived at the hospital.

The emergency operating room was already packed with people, a sea of ​​faces. Chu Xinran's mother, Zheng Fengjiao, was sobbing uncontrollably, while her father, Chu Hanzhong, was smoking in frustration. Her uncles were restless and anxious, and her second uncle, Chu Hanliang, paced anxiously in front of the operating room door...

The presence of the Zheng and Chu families waiting outside the door filled the corridor with a desolate atmosphere, as if Zheng Aniu had already passed away!

Chu Xinran and her third uncle were the last to arrive. As soon as Chu Hanzhong saw his third brother, he stood up abruptly. His already stern face turned even more gloomy. He rushed over in three strides and slapped his third brother hard across the face. "You good-for-nothing brat, what have you done!"

The third brother covered his face, which was red, swollen, and purple from the beating, and hung his head, not daring to say a word. Although he resented his eldest brother for repeatedly refusing to help him, the eldest brother was like a father to him, and the third brother had always respected him as if he were a father.

"Old Chu, Old Chu, let's talk this out! What are you doing!" Zheng Fengjiao quickly grabbed Chu Hanzhong's other hand, which was about to rise, and said kindly, "Why are you hitting Lao San? Ah Niu's matter has nothing to do with him!"

"It's alright?" Chu Hanzhong shoved his wife's hand away, pointed at her, and shouted, "Those two dare to act so brazenly because you've spoiled them! When he first wanted to open this nightclub, I said I didn't agree, I didn't agree. But you, you've been making arrangements for him here and there, making everyone think that I, Chu Hanzhong, have switched careers to open a nightclub. And your brother, he actually did such immoral and illegal things. I... I'm really embarrassed to admit that he's my brother-in-law."

These words displeased the brothers-in-law, but at this critical juncture, none of them uttered a sound. Only their eldest sister, Zheng Fengjiao, practically jumped up, pointing at Chu Hanzhong and shouting, "Hey, Chu Hanzhong, what do you mean? My brother has been severely injured, his life hanging in the balance, and instead of arresting the assailants, you're turning your guns on your own people? How can you be so treacherous?"

"Sister-in-law, I understand my brother's situation. If we handle this strictly by the book, the person who did the assault will definitely be arrested. But have you thought about it? Once Ah Niu leaves this operating room, he'll probably be handcuffed for rape!" Chu Hanliang paused, carefully observing his brother and sister-in-law's expressions, before continuing, "Besides, now isn't the time to assign blame; we need to heal Ah Niu's injuries first!"

"Rape? Second brother, aren't you exaggerating? She's just a lowly pharmaceutical representative, and it happened at a dinner table. Who doesn't know that alcohol can impair judgment? If we really investigate, it's hard to say who raped whom!" Zheng Fengjiao argued vehemently, trying to make things look different.

"Shut up!" Chu Han interrupted, his icy gaze piercing Zheng Fengjiao like a knife. "You think you're a section chief in the procuratorate? I bet you're legally illiterate! Don't you know what kind of person your brother is? Don't you know how many years you'll be imprisoned for rape? There are so many people here who know the truth. Do you really think you can twist the facts and cover it up? You want me to arrest him? Do you really want to send your brother to court, make a huge scene, and let everyone curse and criticize our Zheng and Chu families?"

"I..." Zheng Fengjiao was speechless after being lectured, and after a while she slumped into a chair and burst into tears, "My poor little brother."

"Brother, sister-in-law, please stop arguing, okay? What's done is done, there's no point in saying anything now. Let's wait until Ah Niu comes out of the operating room before we talk about it, okay?" Chu Hanliang advised again.

After being persuaded by their family members, Chu Hanzhong and Zheng Fengjiao kept quiet. It was indeed unbecoming of them to make a scene in such a place, even though they often did so at home!

Zheng Fengjiao was startled to see that Lao San's arm was hanging down like that, and asked, "Lao San, what happened to your arm?"

"I..." The third brother glanced at Chu Hanzhong, but didn't dare to continue.

"Did they beat him up too? That son of a bitch who died young will be wiped out sooner. Wait until this is over, and I'll see how I deal with him! Come on, I'll take you to see a doctor!" Zheng Fengjiao then led the third son to see a doctor without further ado.

Chu Hanliang watched the two figures as they walked away, feeling somewhat emotional. Although his sister-in-law and elder brother didn't get along, they were incredibly good to their two younger brothers-in-law. They would even wash your underwear after you had a wet dream. What else could you say?

"Third brother, how's your hand?" Zheng Fengjiao asked in a hoarse whisper in the corridor.

"I don't know, I can't feel anything at all!" The third brother said with a bitter smile, looking at his limp hand that could no longer move on its own.

Zheng Fengjiao reached out to check her brother-in-law's injuries, but seeing his eyes and his slightly swaying head, she immediately withdrew her hand. She looked around warily, and only after confirming that no one else was there did she relax. She said angrily, "Who is that bastard? How could he so cruelly beat you and A Niu like this?"

"I don't know who he is either, but he was brought by a local thug from Portland Street!" the third brother said, shaking his head.

"Hmph, a local bully? Even if he's a big shot from out of town, I'll skin him alive!" Zheng Fengjiao said through gritted teeth. "Third brother, do you even know where he lives?"

The third brother used his uninjured hand to take out his phone, opened a message, and said, "No. 17, Lane 6, South Polan Street!"

When Gu Feng left with Su Man'er, the cunning and scheming third brother secretly had someone follow them. On the way there, his subordinates who had been following Gu Feng had already sent him the address.

"Fine! If I don't have someone tear this guy's bones off tonight, I'll take his surname!" Zheng Fengjiao said, taking out her phone.

"Sister-in-law, please don't do anything rash, brother-in-law..."

"Don't mention him to me. He's a complete coward. A dignified police chief, when someone slaps his left cheek, he actually offers his right cheek to be slapped. Expect him to stand up for you? In your next life!" Zheng Fengjiao said bitterly.

The third son opened his mouth to stop her, but Zheng Fengjiao had already answered the phone...

Outside the operating room, after Lao San and Zheng Fengjiao left, the corridor became quiet, with only Zheng Aniu's wife remaining, sobbing softly with tears streaming down her face.

"Xiao Ran, come here for a second," Chu Hanliang whispered to his niece.

Chu Xinran nodded and followed her second uncle to the side. In the Chu family, her father was the most authoritative, her second uncle was approachable, and her third uncle was the most cunning and manipulative. Therefore, she liked her second uncle the most.

"How's the situation over there? Will this matter escalate further?" Chu Hanliang asked worriedly, then added earnestly, "Xiao Ran, you should know that this matter could become a huge problem or a small one. If things aren't handled properly, it won't just ruin the reputations of the Zheng and Chu families, it could also destroy the reputation and prestige your father has built up over the past twenty years!"

"Second Uncle, don't worry, this matter is now over. What we should be worried about is how Fourth Uncle's injury is!" Although Chu Xinran disliked the morally depraved and criminal Zheng Aniu, she could not deny that he was her own fourth uncle.

"It's over?" Chu Hanliang asked doubtfully. "That woman wasn't with your uncle...?"

Chu Xinran glanced at her second uncle and interrupted, "That woman's brother arrived at the last minute and beat up my uncle, so nothing happened!"

Hearing that nothing had happened, Chu Hanliang breathed a sigh of relief, his expression relaxing slightly. His mischievous nature then surfaced, and he clicked his tongue and sighed, "It seems that people like Cheng Yaojin exist in every dynasty. This guy couldn't have been later, he couldn't have come earlier, he just had to show up at the last minute! Really! If he had been half an hour late, it would have been perfect, and the deed would have been done."

Half an hour? You overestimate your fourth uncle! Chu Xinran thought to herself after hearing her second uncle's words, but on the surface she said, "Second Uncle, what nonsense are you talking about? The person who hit my uncle is actually my friend!"

"Huh?" Chu Hanliang exclaimed in surprise.

"My classmate and good friend Ding Hanhan, you met her when you and Dad came over that night when she had the accident! Her grandfather was saved by Gu Feng, the one who beat up my uncle. I even took him home!"

"Oh, the Ding family's girl? Her background is quite complicated. We're still investigating her assassination case, but everything seems shrouded in mystery. The motorcyclist's identity can't be confirmed, and the Honda minivan is a fake license plate. This is clearly an organized, premeditated, and planned assassination, probably related to a gang feud. Did she get involved in this too?" Chu Hanliang was even more surprised.

"Hmm!" Chu Xinran nodded, then paused before saying, "Second Uncle, Ding Hanhan's grandfather was just saved by this guy. Now that he's in trouble, how can she not come out to repay the favor? Besides, there were hundreds of thugs there at the time, and Third Uncle called so many police officers. Both sides were fighting. If it weren't for my impromptu performance under pressure, if a real fight had broken out, it wouldn't just be a matter of friendship between me and Ding Hanhan, but a matter between our Chu family and the Ding family!"

Chu Xinran still felt lingering fear when she recalled the scene just now.

"Xiao Ran, not bad! Your second uncle thought so highly of you!" Chu Hanliang gently patted Chu Xinran's shoulder to encourage her, then sighed and said, "But this Gu Feng you mentioned is really too ruthless! He actually beat your uncle like this! If anything were to happen to him, our Chu family might let it go, but your maternal grandfather's family would never let it go! This young man is too reckless!"

"I've personally witnessed that guy surnamed Gu's skills. You've also met my classmate Qi Feng. Isn't he some kind of judo 9th dan? He's invincible throughout Shenzhen University. Do you know how many moves he could withstand from that guy surnamed Gu?" Chu Xinran asked.

"How many moves?" Chu Hanliang asked.

"He was knocked down with just one move, or rather, not even half a move. He was defeated in a single blow and seems to be lying at home recovering from his injuries!"

"Huh?" Chu Hanliang's expression changed slightly. "Such good skills, I'd like to test my skills against him!"

"Second Uncle, stop making things worse! This is already messy enough!" Chu Xinran said irritably.

"There's nothing we can do about this chaos. It seems like things are temporarily settled, but there are still many unresolved issues. While your fourth uncle deserved to be beaten like this, and your father certainly won't stand up for him, it's hard to say about your mother's family. That guy surnamed Gu is probably going to be in deep trouble!"

"Uh, Second Uncle, you know what, I need to hurry and persuade my mom. That Gu guy is hateful, but he's protected by the Ding family now, so it'll be very troublesome to touch him. As for my dad, you should tell him about this yourself! In his current state, he could easily be voted the most unpopular male lead; I really don't want to talk to him!"

As Chu Xinran spoke, she playfully stuck out her tongue and ran towards the orthopedics office.

In the orthopedics office, Chu Xinran saw her third uncle and mother whispering to each other, but they immediately stopped talking when she walked over.

"Xiao Ran, why don't you go with your third uncle to get checked out? I need to go back over there to see how your fourth uncle is doing," Zheng Fengjiao said, her expression a little unnatural.

"Okay, Mom, don't worry too much!" Chu Xinran comforted her gently. Her relationship with her mother, like her tone, had always been very calm.

Zheng Fengjiao nodded and left without saying anything.
