In a high-end room of a hospital in Jiangzhong City, bright sunlight poured down from the eastern horizon, illuminating the room and providing such great lighting, giving one’s face a warm and pleasant feeling!

Yet, the warmth of the sunlight through the window not only failed to bring any sense of warmth to the people inside but instead, a biting coldness filled the room!

Inside the ward, Du Jingcheng lay quietly on the bed like a mummy, with all his limbs in casts, wrapped in white gauze, staring at the ceiling motionlessly, his face filled with pain, gloom, and rage.

An extreme sense of murderous intent flowed from him openly, making the atmosphere in the room unbearably oppressive!

Du Jingcheng never dreamed that one day his own bodyguard would break his limbs and send him to the hospital.

It was like a joke, so unreal, so surreal.

But the pain in his body told him it was all real.

And all of this was because of Ye Xunhuan at the Night No Return bar last night.

All because of Ye Xunhuan.

Every time he thought of Ye Xunhuan, the murderous intent in Du Jingcheng’s heart became uncontrollable, spreading crazily from his body.

He wanted revenge; he wanted Ye Xunhuan to die!

Yes, he wanted Ye Xunhuan dead, and there was no escape for Tailong either.

From birth to now, Du Jingcheng had never been so humiliated.

In Donghai, whenever anyone sees him, they respectfully call him Young Master Du!

But here in this small Jiangzhong, his own bodyguard broke his limbs, and it’s all because of Ye Xunhuan.

This shows how deep the resentment in Du Jingcheng’s heart is.

But now, Tailong is nowhere to be found, completely vanished, but no matter where he runs, Du Jingcheng will never let Tailong off!

For now, he wanted to deal with Ye Xunhuan, to make Ye Xunhuan die!

The two young men standing next to Du Jingcheng felt a chill throughout their bodies upon sensing the intense murderous intent emanating from him!

They could feel Du Jingcheng’s anger at this moment.

But when they thought about it, it made sense, given that Du Jingcheng was born with a silver spoon, and Du Siheng, a late-born son, treated Du Jingcheng like a treasure.

Now, Du Jingcheng in Jiangzhong City had been humiliated by someone in such a manner, and only blood could wash away this hatred and enmity!

Suddenly, Du Jingcheng, lying on the hospital bed, began to speak slowly, "What about the person I asked you to find?"

After he woke up and roared a few times, he asked these two people beside him to find someone to deal with Ye Xunhuan.

And he hired an assassin!

He wanted Ye Xunhuan to die miserably, and also He Sichan; he wanted to bring her to bed, to make He Sichan submit under him.

Upon hearing Du Jingcheng’s hoarse and murderous voice, the two young men shivered uncontrollably.

Then they instinctively said, "Young Master Du, we’ve followed your instructions and issued the Red Flower..."

"I’m asking for the result!" Du Jingcheng interrupted them gloomily.

"No one has taken it yet, but believe me, there will be results soon..." one man quickly said.

After hearing this, Du Jingcheng stopped talking and fell silent.

These two men didn’t dare to speak further because Du Jingcheng remained silent.

No one knew how long it had been until Du Jingcheng spoke again, "Does my father know about this?"

"Mister Du already knows!"

"What did he say?"

"He didn’t say anything, just told you to recuperate quietly, but..." the man hesitated.

"But what?"

"But Mister Du said he’d take care of it, and told you not to meddle!"

They recalled when they contacted Du Siheng last night, his calm attitude left them puzzled.

Logically, Du Siheng should have been furious seeing Du Jingcheng in such a situation, but he was calm last night, not showing any anger.

This made them feel something was amiss.

Despite sensing something wasn’t right, they didn’t dare voice their doubts and speculation.

Knowing how volatile Du Jingcheng was now, telling him this could lead to unknown consequences!

After all, they were the ones who took Du Jingcheng to the Night No Return bar.

They were the ones who told Du Jingcheng about He Sichan’s existence.

If it weren’t for them, Du Jingcheng wouldn’t have gone to the bar, nor known He Sichan, and none of this would have happened.

Thus, they feared Du Jingcheng might settle scores with them.

After hearing their words, Du Jingcheng said nothing further, again lapsing into silence.

This silence engulfed the room in a somber atmosphere once more.

After a long time, the room door was suddenly pushed open from the outside.

"Creak!"

Upon hearing this crisp sound, the two men standing respectfully to Du Jingcheng’s side immediately turned to look at the door, even Du Jingcheng turned his head painfully toward the door.

Next moment, they saw an elderly man in a Tang suit walk in.

Upon seeing this man, a remarkably respectful expression appeared on their faces, "Mister Du!"

When they called him Mister Du, the fear on their faces was evident.

They’re here with Du Jingcheng in Jiangzhong City, but now Du Jingcheng lay on a hospital bed, with his limbs broken by Tailong.

They held undeniable responsibility for these events from beginning to end, unsure if Du Siheng would blame them.

Seeing Du Jingcheng like a mummy in the hospital bed, a look of grief flashed across Du Siheng’s face, but he showed no anger.

"Dad..."

"I already know about it!" Du Siheng, after all a big shot in Donghai who’d been through many storms, felt a sorrow for his son but composed himself quickly and said calmly, "This matter, let it be. Don’t go causing trouble with the other party or Tailong."

Upon hearing Du Siheng say this, Du Jingcheng’s gloomy face suddenly changed.

He thought Du Siheng would stand up for him, but did not expect him to say that!

The two beside Du Jingcheng were similarly stunned.

Du Siheng has always been one to repay even the slightest grievance, in their experience.

Now his own son had been beaten up like this, and he says to let it go?

Could it be the other party was someone even Du Siheng dared not provoke?

What was the identity of the other party?
