Zhao Ke was still in the hospital ward, while the other two lightly injured scumbags had been sent to the detention center.
Zhao Ke's family was also wealthy. Upon learning of their son's situation, Zhao Ke's parents immediately sought connections to get their son out. However, no matter what they tried or who they approached, they were told it was impossible.
Not only was it impossible, but their son might also end up in jail.
The Zhao family refused to believe it. They couldn't fathom how their son, who was clearly the victim, would have to go to jail.
After spending a large sum of money, they were finally informed to stop their efforts. Zhao Ke had truly crossed a line this time. He had indeed committed a crime, and with Jiang Jingxiu's order, Zhao Ke would be severely punished.
When the Zhao family learned that their son had offended the Jiang family, who were associated with the Gu family, their faces turned ashen. They knew their son had a somewhat wicked streak and had been rather unruly since he was abroad, but they never imagined he could cause such a disaster at such a young age.
The Gu and Jiang families were giants that their small family could not afford to offend.
Zhao Ke was currently lying in bed, on the verge of death. Because he had been instructed, he did not receive good care in the hospital. The order was to keep him alive, so the medical staff were not very attentive to him, and their disdain grew when they learned what kind of person he was.
Lying on the hospital bed, Zhao Ke couldn't sleep due to the pain from two wounds and a burning fever. He wanted some painkillers, but the nurse ignored him, telling him to endure it himself.
Zhao Ke was furious. He couldn't see his parents, and the response he received was that he was a fugitive and not allowed to see anyone.
He truly hadn't expected that Qian Xiao Guo, who appeared so foolish and weak, could be so fierce. She dared to stab someone with a knife and took down three grown men by herself.
Zhao Ke regretted his actions now. He truly dared not provoke Qian Xiao Guo. Knowing she was good friends with Jiang Mian Mian, and that the Jiang family was a power his own family couldn't contend with, he had still acted foolishly.
But regret was useless now. Reflecting on his behavior, he realized that everything had always gone too smoothly for him. He had never encountered any obstacles, which only made him bolder. He never expected his first major setback to be this significant.
He was in excruciating pain and only wished for someone to give him a painkiller.
Unfortunately, no one was helping him now.
Approaching Qian Xiao Guo was Jiang Tianci's idea. He and Jiang Tianci had been good friends while abroad and had committed many misdeeds together. After returning, Jiang Tianci started acting like a model student, which Zhao Ke disdained.
So, when Jiang Tianci asked him to seduce Qian Xiao Guo and ruin her, he agreed without hesitation.
As Zhao Ke was suffering, the hospital room door was pushed open. He looked over, and his brow furrowed when he saw who had entered.
It was Yun Buji and Jiang Mian Mian.
"What are you two doing here!" Zhao Ke asked, watching them warily. He wasn't foolish enough to think they were there to visit him.
"We're here to see you. How are you? Let me see where you're injured," Yun Buji said, walking in and directly pulling back his blanket. Zhao Ke tried to stop him, but moving aggravated his wounds, causing him such pain that he nearly fainted.
"Get away from me, get out! I don't welcome you." Zhao Ke glared at him angrily.
"Let me see the wound. Where is it injured? Let me see. We're both men, what's there to be embarrassed about." Yun Buji spoke as he poked and prodded him all over.
