306: Chapter 305: The Record of the Injured Man 306: Chapter 305: The Record of the Injured Man “Xiao Yu, thank you,” Tangyu said.
Xiao Yu still smiled so elegantly and charmingly, “Tangyu, you don’t have to be polite with me, I still owe you a big favor.
Even without me, I believe you could have handled it.
If I had known it was you, I wouldn’t have come to join this boring excitement.” Xiao Yu’s words could be considered a very high evaluation of Tangyu.
Fang Yishui was also taken aback and looked at the two of them, “Do you know each other?”
Xiao Yu smiled and said, “Yes, Tangyu even saved my life.”
“Ah—my master even saved your life, and you’re so strong, who could hurt you?
So, does this mean my master is even more impressive than you?” Fang Yishui was also somewhat surprised, as she knew Xiao Yu’s strength.
To put it bluntly, He Ye wouldn’t last three moves against him.
Even in Fang Yishui’s heart, whether Tangyu could beat Xiao Yu was still an unknown, so hearing Xiao Yu say that Tangyu had saved his life was naturally very surprising.
“Not really, he didn’t need me to save him, I just offered him a tip,” Tangyu said.
“Hehe, I didn’t expect that Fang Yishui would be unwilling to learn Kung Fu from me yet ended up taking you as her master.
It seems my childhood friendship is not worth much,” Xiao Yu said with a self-deprecating smile.
Only now did Tangyu understand that he and Fang Yishui were childhood friends, no wonder she could get him to come to her aid.
“Your combat techniques are too domineering.
I don’t like to learn those; I’m not learning them to fight,” said Fang Yishui.
Xiao Yu’s gaze shifted to Guo Momo and the other two, and with an elegant smile, he said, “You don’t have to worry.
Although Sun Wukong is exceedingly arrogant, overall, he’s not a despicable person and wouldn’t stoop to lowly tactics.
If he wants to deal with Tangyu, it will be in the open.
In terms of strength, I believe Tangyu won’t suffer a loss against him.”
“Mmm, thank you for stepping in just now, young master Xiao,” Guo Momo nodded with a smile.
“Then I won’t disturb you further, I’ll take my leave now,” Xiao Yu said, then he looked at Tangyu again, “By the way, be careful as well.
Sun Wukong is not someone to mess with, and once provoked, it’s generally a fight to the death.
He has many capable people under him.”
“Mmm, I know, I will be careful,” Tangyu said.
“Master, we’ll go first then, see you tomorrow morning.
Bye Guo Momo,” said Fang Yishui, waving her hands as she left with Xiao Yu.
Tangyu looked at Guo Momo and the other two girls, “What are you all looking at me like that for?
Although I really am quite good-looking, you don’t have to stare at me continuously like that, I truly will get shy, and if it weren’t so dark, you would definitely see that my face has turned red.”
“Haha good brother, you’re hilarious, I’ve never seen you blush before.
After seeing that handsome guy, and then looking at you, I feel like you’ve gotten uglier than before,” Zhao Yaya said with a cheerful laugh.
Children speak their minds without filter; Tangyu held back.
“Yaya, don’t talk nonsense, sometimes even the truth can hurt,” said Guo Momo.
“…” Tangyu held back earlier, but now he was genuinely hurt.
Wasn’t he handsome enough?
How could they be so cutting?
“Am I really not as handsome as him?” Tangyu asked, unconvinced.
Women love to be beautiful, and men also love to be handsome.
“Obviously not,” Zhao Yaya said directly.
Guo Momo looked at Tangyu, “Not really.”
Tangyu felt struck, how could women nowadays be so superficial?
Do they only look at appearances?
Couldn’t someone appreciate his inner beauty and give him some credit?
Tangyu’s gaze turned to Lin Feifei.
Lin Feifei hesitated for a moment before saying, “No matter what others say, you are the most handsome in my heart.” Her voice became very soft towards the end, and a few traces of blush covered her face as she lowered her head.
“I knew it, gold will always shine, there’s still someone who knows how to appreciate my handsomeness.
Uh, wait, Feifei, do you still mean to say I’m not as handsome as Xiao Yu?” asked Tangyu.
“…”
——
On the highway, a Land Rover was driving calmly, but the atmosphere inside the car was very tense.
“Young master Sun, I have already ordered people to check his background, and it should be handed over to us tomorrow,” Gao Sen said with a grim face.
Sun Wutian’s gaze was profound, with a flicker of cold light, “I have always disdained men who rely on the protection of others.
You handle this.
I only want the result; let’s go to the hospital first.
His strength is indeed not bad; you be a bit more careful next time.”
“Mmm, I got it, young master Sun,” Gao Sen nodded.
Sun Wutian leaned back in his seat, his mouth curving into a cold smile, “Xiao Yu, it seems our battle is going to happen sooner than expected.
I have been looking forward to this day for a long time.”
——
Zhou Family’s old residence, study room.
Zhou Hequan looked at Zhou Tao, nodding in appreciation as he said, “Doctor Xiao truly lives up to his reputation.
Even the best acupuncturist in our hospital, Rao Yuanzhi, was at his wits’ end, yet she cured the patient with ease.” However, recalling the price they had paid for this, Zhou Hequan’s facial muscles twitched fiercely, and his eyes flickered with intense murderous intent, all of which was directed at Tangyu.
It was this man who had caused his Zhou family to lose face and pay such a terrible price.
Seeing Zhou Hequan’s expression, Zhou Tao clenched his teeth and said, “Dad, I’m useless.
It’s my fault that the Zhou family is in this predicament.”
Zhou Hequan waved his hand and said, “Don’t talk like that.
You will always be the pride of Zhou Hequan, my son.
So what if we paid a price?
What we lost, the Zhou family will definitely claim back—twice over.”
“Dad, rest assured, now Tangyu doesn’t have anything he can use to blackmail me.
I will make him pay back tenfold, a hundredfold.
I will make him kneel before me in repentance, I will make him wish he were dead,” Zhou Tao said with raging anger.
Zhou Hequan patted Zhou Tao’s shoulder and said with satisfaction, “That’s my son, a true man of the Zhou family.
A setback is a lesson for wisdom.
If this defeat helps you grow, then it’s worth it.
Get a good night’s rest; tomorrow is your time to shine.”
“Knock knock!”
A series of knocks on the door interrupted their atmosphere.
Zhou Hequan’s eyebrows knitted together slightly, and he glanced towards the door with displeasure, “What is it?”
“Master, someone has delivered an express package, and they insisted that you personally see it.
I felt something was amiss, so I sought your guidance,” the voice of the old butler came from outside the study room.
“I won’t look at it.
Don’t disturb me unless it’s important,” Zhou Hequan said.
“Understood, Master,” the old butler was about to leave.
Something stirred in Zhou Hequan’s mind, and he suddenly called out, “Wait, bring it in and let me take a look.”
The study door was pushed open, and an old butler in his fifties came in, handing over a letter without any return address to Zhou Hequan.
The envelope was thin, and one could only feel that there was probably a photograph inside when holding it.
Zhou Hequan opened the envelope and pulled out the photograph.
As soon as he looked it over, his face instantly turned grim and even rather unsightly.
“Where is the person who delivered this?
Bring them back to me immediately,” Zhou Hequan shouted at the old butler, who had stepped to the side.
The old butler was startled, wondering what could possibly be in the envelope that made the master so enraged.
But without hesitation, he nodded and exited quickly.
Zhou Tao’s eyebrows furrowed too, and he looked puzzled at Zhou Hequan, “Dad, what’s in there?”
Zhou Hequan glanced at Zhou Tao coldly.
Faced with that look, Zhou Tao was taken aback too.
– Was his father angry with him?
Zhou Tao took the photograph from Zhou Hequan and his face instantly turned pale.
He stepped back fearfully, looking at Zhou Hequan.
The photo depicted him in bed with his father’s mistress.
Zhou Tao was also overwhelmed with rage.
How could this affair have become known to others, and even been captured in a photograph, and then sent to his father?
It was like a slap to his father’s face.
If such family scandals were to spread, then the Zhou family would utterly lose face.
Thinking of these consequences, Zhou Tao was at such a loss for words, he could only regret that he hadn’t resisted the temptress’s seduction.
“You worthless thing,” Zhou Hequan raised his hand, ready to slap Zhou Tao.
Zhou Tao, frightened, caught his father’s hand quickly and said, “Dad, you can’t blame me for this.
It was that bitch who seduced me.
I had too much to drink, so—”
“Hmph, you disappointing rascal, I am so furious with you.
How could I have fathered such an unfilial son?” Zhou Hequan scolded, pointing at Zhou Tao’s nose, “No one would believe such an excuse.
I may be old, but I’m not senile.”
“Dad, calm down, I realize my mistake,” Zhou Tao said in a placating manner.
It took a while for Zhou Hequan to compose himself a bit, “If you weren’t my son, I would beat you to death today.
I’m not angry with you for having an affair with that bitch, but that you let it be captured and handed leverage to someone else.
Do you understand the consequences if these photos get out?”
“Dad, I’ve been very careful.
I don’t know how I got photographed,” Zhou Tao said with a face full of grievance.
This had happened several months ago.
“Humph, you’ve fallen for someone’s trap and you’re clueless about it.
That bitch needs to be dealt with; she must be taken out, never to appear in Donglin City again.
I need to find out who sent these photos and what’s their agenda,” Zhou Hequan snorted coldly.
He didn’t care much about the mistress; what concerned him were the potential repercussions.
His gaze fell on the envelope, and he read a line written inside: This is just the least sensational photo I have; there are three more that are ten times more sensational.
You should know what to do if you want to see them—Tangyu.
“Tangyu, it was him, it was actually him!” Zhou Hequan trembled with rage.
“How could it be him?” Zhou Tao was dumbfounded.
This was an issue of several months ago when he had no issue with Tangyu.
How could he have these photos?
And what Tangyu mentioned, more sensational ones, involuntarily sent chills down Zhou Tao’s spine.
Nobody else knew what he did, but how could he be unaware?
He and his cousin had hit it off, resulting in an incestuous affair that had been an accident but nevertheless happened.
Then there was his little aunt, though that was only once.
But the most terrifying thing was about Sun Wutian’s wife.
Although Sun Wutian was not as dazzling as Sun Wukong, he was still the elder son of the younger generation of the Sun Family, holding a position second only to Sun Wukong.
If the other party had all three photos, Zhou Tao felt the urge to die.
Even if others didn’t kill him, his father would probably not spare him.
“You wretched thing, what other beastly acts have you committed?” Zhou Hequan shouted furiously.
Zhou Tao was so frightened that he knelt down with a thud, “Dad, you must save me this time, or I’m sure to die.
Dad, you only have one son like me.
I was foolish and ignorant before, but now I am enlightened.”
“You—” Zhou Hequan was so angry he nearly fainted, lifting his hand and slapping Zhou Tao across the face.
