“Mom!” Chen Lishu was anxious and about to rush over to check, but Jiang Chengyi grabbed her arm.
“Jiang Chengyi, you’d better be rational. Your actions now are trespassing, which has already violated the law. If you leave now, I can pretend nothing happened and not pursue it.”
“You won’t pursue it? I’m here to settle scores with you, you b*tch. If I don’t show you some colors today, do you think you’re really something?”
As soon as Jiang Chengyi finished speaking, the men behind him started smashing things in the house.
“You, you!” Li Xiulan and Zhao Qiuyue were both angry, anxious, and scared, but they dared not step forward to stop them. They could only watch helplessly as their newly bought items were smashed.
“Don’t you bully my mom.” Rui Rui came downstairs. Seeing Jiang Chengyi about to attack Chen Lishu, his small body rushed straight at him.
Jiang Chengyi, caught off guard, stumbled backward. After regaining his footing, he saw it was a little brat. Annoyance flashed across his face. He raised his hand and swiped Rui Rui to the ground.
“Rui Rui!” Chen Lishu anxiously pounced over, “Are you okay?”
“Mom, I’m fine. Don’t be scared. I’ll protect you,” Rui Rui said as he got up from the ground. His small body stubbornly blocked Chen Lishu’s front, looking at Jiang Chengyi with an angry little face.
“Rui Rui…”
Jiang Chengyi was now completely insane. Fearing for Rui Rui’s safety, Chen Lishu quickly shielded him in her arms and looked up angrily, “Jiang Chengyi, what exactly do you want? Haven’t you considered the consequences of doing this today?”
Gu Xingdong and Yang Zhiguo drove to the doorstep of their home. They saw a car parked not far away. Not many people could afford a car in those days, so they couldn’t help but look at it more.
Gu Xingdong opened the car door and got out. As soon as he turned off the engine, he looked up and saw the front door wide open. Immediately, two loud bangs came from inside, accompanied by Li Xiulan’s gasp. His expression suddenly changed, and he dashed towards the house.
Yang Zhiguo also sensed something was wrong and followed closely.
“Consequences?” Jiang Chengyi looked down at Chen Lishu and her son and sneered, “Do I, Jiang Chengyi, need to consider consequences when dealing with you? Don’t you know that the law is only for ordinary people like you? I have a hundred ways to kill you, and I’m sure someone will take the blame for me. Your death would be in vain.”
After speaking, Jiang Chengyi directly raised his leg and kicked towards Chen Lishu’s stomach.
Gu Xingdong, who had just entered, saw this scene. His dark eyes suddenly sank, and a raging sea churned in his chest. He quickly strode forward, raised his leg, and delivered a kick to Jiang Chengyi’s chest.
He put all his strength into this kick. Jiang Chengyi was sent flying backward four or five meters, hitting the handrail at the bottom of the stairs. With a ‘crack,’ the wooden handrail broke into several pieces due to the violent impact.
“Who do you want to kill? Huh?” Gu Xingdong looked at the defeated Jiang Chengyi lying on the ground, his eyes filled with cold rage.
If he had returned a few minutes later, he couldn’t even imagine what his wife and child might have faced!
Jiang Chengyi felt like his internal organs had shifted after being kicked and hitting the railing. The pain almost made him faint. A surge of heat rose in his throat, and he turned his head to spit out a mouthful of bloody phlegm.
Seeing Gu Xingdong approaching step by step, Jiang Chengyi felt fear like never before. However, seeing his military uniform, he forced a smile and provocatively said, “Cough, what? You want to kill me? Do you dare? Aren’t you soldiers the most disciplined? Aren’t you afraid of being disciplined?”
The muscles in Gu Xingdong’s jaw twitched, and his dark eyes narrowed dangerously. He raised his hand, took off his military cap, and then reached for the collar button of his uniform.
Yang Zhiguo, who had followed him in, was startled by his actions. “Xingdong, don’t be reckless!”
Unfortunately, Gu Xingdong was burning with rage and couldn’t hear his obstruction.
He took a step forward, grabbed Jiang Chengyi, and his iron-like fist fell.
Jiang Chengyi felt as if the bones in his face had shattered, and he seemed to have something hard in his mouth.
“Xingdong, stop quickly!”
Yang Zhiguo quickly stepped forward and pressed Gu Xingdong’s arm, saying sternly, “You won’t even listen to me now? If you hit him again, someone will die!”
“Xingdong…”
Chen Lishu also quickly called out when she saw this.
Hearing the voices, Gu Xingdong’s anger gradually subsided. He let go of Jiang Chengyi’s collar, turned to Chen Lishu’s side, and helped her up from the ground. Looking at her slightly pale face, his throat felt tight as he asked, “Are you okay?”
Chen Lishu stood up with his help, only to feel a sharp pain in her stomach. The pain made her almost unable to stand. Clutching Gu Xingdong’s arm, she said tremblingly, “Xingdong, my stomach hurts so much.”
A hint of panic appeared on Gu Xingdong’s face. He bent down and picked up Chen Lishu, “Old Yang, I’ll leave this to you for now.”
He uttered a stern sentence, carried her out, and placed her in the passenger seat. Gu Xingdong quickly sat in the driver’s seat, “Don’t be afraid, it’ll be okay.”
Although he said this, his hand holding the key began to tremble uncontrollably. He tried twice before finally inserting the key into the ignition. Soon, the car started and sped towards the hospital.
“President Jiang, are you alright?”
Seeing Gu Xingdong leave, the few people who had accompanied Jiang Chengyi finally dared to approach. Looking at his bloody face, they tentatively asked.
Jiang Chengyi weakly said, “I’m fine, help me up.”
As soon as he finished speaking, his chest churned, and he turned to spit out another mouthful of blood.
The others were startled and quickly carried him, intending to take him to the hospital.
Before leaving, Jiang Chengyi glanced in Yang Zhiguo’s direction, managed to move his lips, and revealed a sarcastic smile, “That guy named Gu is your subordinate, right? He dared to hit me today, this isn’t over.”
Yang Zhiguo forced himself not to step forward and kick him again. He said with a dark face, “Kid, I advise you to know when to stop.”
Jiang Chengyi said no more and was carried to the car.
Seeing everyone leave, Yang Zhiguo looked at the three people in the house, “Are you all okay?”
“We’re fine.” Li Xiulan felt a pang of pain in her heart as she looked at the smashed tables and chairs, but she was more concerned about Chen Lishu’s safety.
As the saying goes, seven months is risky. She hoped nothing unexpected would happen.
Yang Zhiguo helped them with a simple cleanup and then left.
Given the situation today, that person surnamed Jiang didn’t seem like someone who would give up easily. He still needed to communicate with Old Lu as soon as possible to see if this matter could be suppressed as much as possible.
So, after going outside, he quickly found a phone booth and called the Military Region Headquarters.
On the other end, Gu Xingdong drove all the way to the hospital. He glanced over and saw that Chen Lishu’s face was already pale from the pain, and her hair on both sides of her temples was wet with sweat. However, she was afraid of distracting Gu Xingdong while driving, so she gritted her teeth and didn’t make a sound.
