Pampered by Short-Lived Bigshot

Pulling down his sleeve, fastening his cufflinks, slipping on his overcoat, his movements were smooth and accomplished in one breath. Now, adjusting his tie, he looked down upon He An from on high, “Kid, do you think I wouldn’t dare to call the police?”

“I can tell you responsibly that in this matter, I have enough ability to protect my daughter from harm…”

He scoffed lightly, “Then naturally, I have ways to deal with you, to ensure you’ll never be able to be in Wanwan’s presence for the rest of your life!”

“There are some people in this world who, if they don’t suffer, won’t die or shed a layer of skin, will never know regret. If you want to repent, you’ll have plenty of time to do so once you’re in.”

His voice came slowly, from beginning to end without haste or agitation, only accompanied by the urgent patter of rain against the window.

Chilling to the bone, it cultivated a sense of coldness deep within one’s heart.

When Tang Yunxian raised his hand to adjust his clothing, his actions remained very proper, as if he hadn’t been the one who’d just struck.

Apart from those few strikes, he maintained his composure throughout.

He even lifted his hand to dust off his sleeve, as if to shake off rainwater, or perhaps to ensure he hadn’t gotten any dirt on himself.

Tang Wan was in the next room, having no appetite for food, but when she attempted to leave, Tang Yunxian’s assistant blocked the door, “Miss, the porridge won’t taste good once it cools down.”

“What exactly is going on outside…”

Around ten minutes later, the police arrived. Seeing He An, their heads nearly exploded—how could it be this piece of trash again, daring to cause trouble while on bail? Wasn’t he just begging for death?

Jiang Cuo had already stepped forward to explain the situation.

“And these injuries on him…” the police officer sized up He An.

It seemed like every time they saw him lately, he looked like he’d been beaten up by a crowd.

Jiang Jiu, supporting his sunglasses, came out, “He was about to commit a crime just now, and we stopped him. He resisted stubbornly, so a violent altercation ensued!”

He An was left wide-eyed and tongue-tied, “You’re spouting nonsense. You were the ones who hit first. I’ll fucking kill you, believe it or not?”

“You shut your mouth!” The police officer furrowed his brows, “What do you want to do? Hit me?”

“No, I…” He An was both angry and hurried.

Jiang Jiu pointed outside, “His two henchmen are still out there. You can take them back for questioning. We also have a recording of this incident, including his confession of wanting to harm Miss Tang, we have it all.”

It was only then that He An realized his pleas to Tang Yunxian had been recorded.

What surprised Jiang Jinsang was that throughout it all, He An hadn’t mentioned Zhang Liyun once, which disappointed him somewhat.

After the police left and it was past midnight, the events caused a stir, bringing doctors, nurses, and even hospital leadership on duty to the scene, causing a commotion before everyone finally dispersed.

Upon understanding the details, Tang Wan felt repulsed by He An’s vile actions, and could only be thankful that Jiang Jinsang had arrived at the time.

And in the Tang Family villa at that moment,

Zhang Liyun, wrapped in her nightgown, stood by the window, her heart tumultuous with fear, unable to sleep. Just then, her phone rang, “Hello—”

“Mrs. Tang, the police have arrived at the Hospital. But I can’t get into that floor; I only saw a few people being taken away by the police. The rain is too heavy, and I can’t see who was taken, nor can I find out any news; it seems like it’s been completely sealed off.”

Taken away…

Zhang Liyun’s heart leaped. Could it be that He An had been caught? What would she do then…

But with the news being sealed off, if she rushed to the Hospital now and people inquired, she wouldn’t know how to justify how she heard the news, nor did she know if he had succeeded. She was beside herself with anxiety.

She used her connections to try to find out what happened at the police station, but nothing was clear.

She sat at the edge of the bed, anxiously waiting for daylight, eager to go to the Hospital to get some news, but what she didn’t know was that for her, that day…

Would never brighten again!
