Chapter 165 I Fell Myself

Facing the person who had also rolled her eyes at her because of her boyfriend.

Chu Fan's face fell, "He's not my son, do I have to constantly check where he's dying?"

"Most likely he's drunk and passed out somewhere!"

"Or maybe he's been hooked by some green tea bitch, who knows!"

"You..."

He Yue was so angered by Chu Fan's words that her face stiffened.

She had clearly seen her boyfriend leave at about the same time as Chu Fan, but now only Chu Fan had returned. Her calls to her boyfriend had gone unanswered, and He Yue was very anxious.

She glared fiercely at Chu Fan, then turned to discuss with Lu Zhong and the others, wanting to go out and look for Bai Feng.

She believed that her boyfriend must have been beaten by Chu Fan.

Upon learning that Bai Feng was unreachable, He Yue and another man and woman went out to search. Lu Zhong, having a liking for Nan Baixuan, stayed behind.

Three minutes later, He Yue and the others returned in a hurry.

The music was deafening, making it impossible to hear anything. Nan Baixuan could only call out to Chu Fan before heading outside.

Chu Fan walked slowly. As soon as he stepped out, He Yue, her face contorted with ferocity, lunged at him.

"Was it you?"

"Tell me, was it you?"

The sudden turn of events startled Nan Baixuan, and she quickly stood between Chu Fan and He Yue to block them.

She wasn't worried about Chu Fan being harmed by the agitated He Yue, but rather that Chu Fan, with his ruthless touch, might hurt He Yue.

"He Yue, let's talk this through properly!"

"Where is Bai Feng?"

He Yue, wiping away tears, said, "He was beaten and sent to the hospital by a kind passerby."

Ah...

Nan Baixuan and Lu Zhong were both startled, their gazes falling on Chu Fan, wondering if he was the one who had beaten Bai Feng.

Bai Feng had not offended anyone in Shanhai City except for Chu Fan.

"Cousin, you didn't really..."

Nan Baixuan's expression was troubled, unsure of what to say next.

Caught between her relative and her friend, she was in a difficult position.

Chu Fan rolled his eyes, adopting an indifferent demeanor.

He had indeed beaten him.

However, to avoid making Nan Baixuan uncomfortable, he had already instructed Qin Tian to handle everything.

Nan Baixuan thought again, considering Chu Fan's aloof nature, he would have dealt with Bai Feng long ago if he had intended to. Perhaps there was a misunderstanding.

She immediately said, "He Yue, could there be a mistake?"

"There might be some misunderstanding here. Let's go to the hospital first."

"Let's see Bai Feng's condition and then ask him what exactly happened."

He Yue's confrontation with Chu Fan was purely speculative.

She also wanted to know how badly Bai Feng was injured, so she nodded, and they all immediately headed to the hospital.

When everyone saw Bai Feng, the initial treatment had already concluded.

His teeth were all broken, but there were no other injuries, so no further treatment was needed.

Upon seeing Bai Feng and realizing he could barely speak, and upon learning that all his teeth were broken, He Yue cried inconsolably.

Nan Baixuan then asked, "Bai Feng, what happened?"

"Who hit you?"

Just as Bai Feng was about to respond, Chu Fan walked in from outside the ward.

A flicker of fear flashed in his eyes.

Recalling the Qin family's previous warning, he said indistinctly, "No one hit me. I fell down when I was too drunk."

"I just happened to hit the curb when I fell, and broke my teeth!"

In fact, even without the Qin family's reminder to keep his mouth shut, Bai Feng would never have dared to say that Chu Fan had beaten him.

The Bai family held considerable influence in Yuncheng and naturally had dealings with the martial arts families there.

From Chu Fan's simple actions earlier, Bai Feng knew he was a martial artist.

Bai Feng was well aware of how terrifying such people could be.

To ensure his safe return home, even with his teeth broken by Chu Fan and filled with boundless resentment, he dared not reveal the truth.

"Ah..."

Nan Baixuan and Lu Zhong and the others looked astonished.

He broke all his teeth from just falling?

Was that even possible?

Breaking a few teeth might be plausible.

But all of them? That was impossible.

"Husband, is that really what happened!"

"Were you threatened by someone?"

As He Yue said this, she couldn't help but glance at Chu Fan, thinking that Bai Feng was probably too scared by Chu Fan to tell the truth.

"No!"

Bai Feng hurriedly shook his head, "No one threatened me. That's exactly what happened!"

Lu Zhong and the others each had their own thoughts as they watched.

They all understood that the truth was definitely not what Bai Feng was saying, and he was deliberately hiding something.

And Bai Feng's sudden injury was likely related to Chu Fan.

However, since the parties involved did not press the matter, the bystanders naturally did not want to interfere.

After chatting for a while, Qin Xue called to ask Nan Baixuan when she would be returning. Nan Baixuan had no choice but to say goodbye to Lu Zhong and the others.

As soon as the two of them left, He Yue quickly asked, "Husband, tell me the truth. Did he beat you?"

"Don't be afraid of him. I have an uncle in Shanhai City who knows many capable people!"

"If he beat you, I'll have my uncle find someone to deal with him!"

"If he dared to break all your teeth, I'll have someone break all his limbs!"

Lu Zhong and the others also waited curiously for Bai Feng's response.

Bai Feng still shook his head, "What I said just now is true. My injury has nothing to do with him."

He Yue nodded and did not press further.

But her eyes flickered, knowing that her boyfriend was definitely lying. After finding an excuse to leave the ward, she called her uncle in Shanhai City, planning to have her uncle help investigate.

There were surveillance cameras outside the bar, and He Yue believed that with her uncle's capabilities, he could easily obtain the footage and determine whether Bai Feng had truly fallen or been beaten.

Meanwhile, Nan Baixuan, after hesitating for a while, gritted her teeth and asked, "Cousin, I want to ask you something."

"Go ahead!"

"Um, did Bai Feng really fall, or did you beat him?"

Nan Baixuan looked very nervous.

"Do you think he fell because he was too drunk, or do you think I beat him?" Chu Fan retorted.

"I... I don't know, that's why I'm asking you!"

At this moment, Nan Baixuan's expression could only be described as having lost all will to live.

"I beat him!"

"He brought a few people to try and break all my teeth. Was I supposed to just let him break all my teeth?"

"Ah..."

Nan Baixuan exclaimed again, surprised that her guess was correct.

"Then... then why didn't he say anything just now?"

Chu Fan smiled and explained, "He tried to steal a chicken but ended up losing the rice. Would he be embarrassed to say?"

"And you are friends. If things escalated, you would be in a difficult position, which is also why I didn't say anything."

Upon learning the truth, Nan Baixuan's expression was complicated.

She knew Chu Fan had no reason to lie to her.

And she also knew Bai Feng's petty nature.

He might have suffered a loss at the dinner table, but not causing a scene didn't mean he held no grudges. It was entirely possible for him to find someone to deal with Chu Fan.

With things as they were,

To avoid further deepening the conflict, she planned to find an excuse to cancel the subsequent activities and have Bai Feng and the others leave Shanhai City as soon as possible.

In the hospital.

With her uncle's help, He Yue confirmed that Bai Feng had been beaten by Chu Fan, and resentment surged in the depths of her eyes.
