The Taming of the Ruffian Hero

Chen Yuanxi found a hospital nearby.

Zhao Yuan’s call came in time.

When Zhao Yuan arrived, Zhang Dong was still in the operating room. Chen Yuanxi threw himself into Zhao Yuan’s arms immediately after he saw him. Staying outside the operating room, both of them remained in silence. Facing such an unexpected situation, Zhao Yuan suddenly didn’t know what they should do next, and he just reminded everyone that they should throw all their phones away first.

“You made such an important decision, but I actually learned it from someone in Inner Mongolia.” Zhao Yuan murmured, “Were you afraid that I would not allow Zhang Dong to catch Luo Yang?”

“You knew the danger. When you tightened the ring of encirclement, the small fishes around the big fishes that you intended to catch would certainly react in some way. Did you think that people in such a large organization like the Mo family would sit passively for their end? You sent Brother Dong to pursue Luo Yang regardless of whether he was beside Wanxin or was back to the Mo family. You were sending him to death by doing this. You knew this, right? You can take no notice of his life and death now.”

Though Chen Yuanxi was already 26 now, he couldn’t help twisting a corner of his clothes at this moment because he had to admit that what Zhao Yuan said was absolutely right.

“But you had other choices. Mo Qian sent someone there, and if he didn’t get a reply, should he send more his men or even Uncle Hong Xuan there? If he did that, Mo Qian would spend some time to deal with Uncle Hong Xuan first. So it could buy us some time, maybe one month or two. But why were you in such a hurry, Wenxi? Uncle Hong Xuan gave you that list. It means that he handed the supreme command to you. However, holding a handful of good cards, you played in a lousy way. Now that we don’t know whether or not the people on our side will survive, nor do we know if we can still win! What exactly did you do all of this for?”

Chen Yuanxi couldn’t utter a word.

“For what? I have born all the hatred for seven years, and finally, I met a chance to revenge! For what? The grandmother who is still lying in the funeral home. I just want to bury her and let her rest in peace earlier! For what? To gain the upper hand, Mo Qian took the initiative to send Hong Xuan. And then, Wang Chang was brutally murdered. But soon, Mo Qian seemed to realize that something went wrong, so he directly ordered someone to kill Zhang Dong!”

“But how can I tell others all these things and my mixed feelings within a few words?”

Thinking of this, Chen Yuanxi felt extremely tired. Lying on Zhao Yuan’s knees, he said, “Yuan, I want to take a break.”

Zhao Yuan reached out to stroke Chen Yuanxi’s hair. Unexpectedly, he found a hidden silver-white hair on Chen Yuanxi’s head, like a touch of snow in the inkstone. “Wenxi, you are only 26! 26!” Continuing groping, Zhao Yuan found more white hairs hidden in his black ones. One, two, three… All of a sudden, Zhao Yuan started to hate those past years. He began to resent the impermanence of the world. Dumbfounded, he stood there in silence.

The trauma at Zhang Dong’s back was extremely serious. When he was transferring Luo Yang, he felt that the situation around him was a little weird. Therefore, he secretly observed for a little while, but then someone stabbed him at his back. Fortunately, he responded promptly and elbowed the one who sneakily attacked him. After that, driving on the car, he dashed around madly along the way and managed to get to Chen’s house. However, he had lost too much blood. Therefore, after half an hour’s fast-speed crazy driving, he could no longer hang on there.

“Yuan, about the thing in Inner Mongolia, the evidence is quite clear: Mo Qian abducted Zhang Dong’s parents. You can go there to ask some people to directly contact with our people in the small town and try to get some help from the police by the way. There are traitors in this town, so Uncle Hong Xuan’s list became invalid.” Suddenly, Chen Yuanxi looked up and said.

“Now, I can finally be your strategist, bodyguard, lover, brother at the same time. Four people with different functions in one body, do you think that I am willing to leave you?” Zhao Yuan said while smiling, and he gently rubbed the tip of Chen Yuanxi’s nose.

“Zhang Dong is here. So it is no use for us to stay here with him. If Mo Qian is mighty enough and his men can find you here, the injured Zhang Dong has to escape while protecting you. Thus, I guess you can get some people here, right? Otherwise, how can you get the evidence against Chen Tianjiao and send him to undergo a mandatory investigation? Who dares try to bring down a government official like Secretary Chen without any incontestable evidence? Have you found any evidence about your father or mine? You should not hide anything about that from me,” Zhao Yuan said.

On the spur of the moment, Chen Yuanxi really wanted to beat Zhao Yuan into an idiot.

Just now, Chen Yuanxi had already told Captain Cao to come here. He was in the criminal police team that had investigated the case of Zhao Mingjiang before.

Zhu Hui provided a name and a specific incident about that person. Moreover, there was more evidence left by Lin Ziwei’s subordinates during the time when Lin Ziwei investigated the case. Then, people from a police station and the procuratorate interrogated the suspects by alternating kindness with cruelty. And so, two people who had taken part in grabbing the body to cremate acknowledged their guilt. By following all the clues he got, Chen Yuanxi continued tracking down and found that a captain of a police team at that time had involved in the case. After that, Chen Yuanxi discovered more and more evidence to prove Chen Tianjiao’s guilt. For instance, the rape case of Liu Xuehua and the impulsive murder case of Zhao Mingjiang. The Mo family provided him with hatchet men who received direct or indirect orders from Chen Tianjiao. Chen Yuanxi advised the police team’s captain and the local procuratorate’s chief procurator not to alert Chen Tianjiao in advance. Thus, they followed his advice and temporarily blocked the news that they were going to investigate Chen Tianjiao.

However, when Zhao Yuan knew the truth, he would know the fact that two of his families had already died in one day. One of them was his grandmother, who was missing since he was a child. The other was his mother, Liu Xuehua. Zhao Yuan’s father kept the lantern on for 24 hours each day in more than ten years to wait for her to come back. Chen Yuanxi was afraid that Zhao Yuan was still looking forward to seeing Liu Xuehua return safe and sound, and then he could show filial piety to her.

“I have lived in Chen’s family for seven years, Yuan.”

“I knew very well how you had spent the past seven years. With your character, how could you only release such a little information if you got the evidence long ago? The news you released is like an incomplete fart, which only had a loud sound but no stinking smell,” Zhao Yuan said, dissatisfied.

“Don’t be so rude.” Chen Yuanxi turned around and ignored him.

“Don’t play this trick. I don’t care if you act in a pettishly charming manner, or you try to deceive me by torturing yourself, or you pretend to be angry or even dead, it won’t work for me.” “You have made such a big mistake. It is useless to play these tricks that you had used when you were still “Lin Wenxi.” Do you still expect to make up for the mistake on your own after you successfully deceive me by playing some old tricks? Be good. Trust me, your man.” Crossing his arms, Zhao Yuan stood proudly in front of Chen Yuanxi.

When Chen Yuanxi was about to talk, the doctor came out and told them that Zhang Dong was awake already. Chen Yuanxi made a gesture, showing that he was now too busy to talk to him. After throwing a glare to Zhao Yuan, he pushed Zhang Dong back to the ward with the nurse.

When Zhao Yuan caught up, Chen Yuanxi gave him a bill. “I certainly should believe in my man’s wallet.”

“Give you a chance to have a love affair!” Zhao Yuan muttered and left.

“Your eyes…” Zhang Dong looked at Chen Yuanxi for a while. Suddenly, he turned his head away.

“What’s wrong?” Chen Yuanxi rubbed his eyes.

“Would you mind not being so gentle?” Zhang Dong grinned.

“You are a rough man, but you blushed so easily. Are you shamed?” Chen Yuanxi asked with a smile.

“I… how could that be possible??” Zhang Dong asked.

“You were a bit dark before so that I couldn’t see your blush. But now your face looks so pale. I have to take a good look and see how many times you can blush in a day. See, see, you blushed again!” Chen Yuanxi grinned, but his eyes became wet.

“Wenxi, I am fine. Three days later, I will become a tough man again!” Zhang Dong tried to pat his chest, but a sharp pain at his back stopped him. He could not help frowning and landed his eyes on Chen Yuanxi.

“Zhang Dong, you have a new task,” Chen Yuanxi said.

“Go ahead.”

“Rest for thirty days. You cannot cut a single day of rest. Do you understand?” Chen Yuanxi told him.

“Right, Wenxi, the person behind me is the daughter of Boss Zhang, MO Capital’s boss. Her name is Zhang An’an,” Zhang Dong said anxiously. It seemed as if he hadn’t heard the words Chen Yuanxi’s said just now.

Chen Yuanxi was stunned on the spot.
