From Evil Sect Leader to Doctor-Chapter 285 - 260: New Grudges and Old Hatreds

Hua Zhuyue finished her drink and said, "You're overthinking it."

Shang Lijun said, "An outsider sees things clearly. In the past, I've never seen you care so much about others, taking all the responsibility onto yourself. Zhu Yue, you weren't like this before." She and Hua Zhuyue have been close sisters for many years, and she knows her well.

Hua Zhuyue said, "Just some polite words. Do you think by saying that, others will blame everything on us? To be honest, I don't understand his tactics. You say he's smart, and he definitely is, but tonight, he insisted on handling Tang Tianyi himself. Isn't he afraid that Tang Jingwei will settle both old and new scores with him?"

Shang Lijun said, "If he's daring enough to do this, it means he has something to rely on. In the matters of Dongzhou, didn't you all suffer losses too?"

Upon mentioning this, Hua Zhuyue fell silent and after a while said, "The Dongzhou incident also started because of Tang Tianyi, and it was Xie Chunlei's mishandling. It's not his fault."

Shang Lijun said, "See, you're already defending him."

Hua Zhuyue laughed, "I'm always straightforward, but what happened with Tang Tianyi taking off his clothes tonight was definitely his doing."

"How is that possible? Did he drug Tang Tianyi?" Shang Lijun found it unbelievable. Tang Tianyi's actions just now were out of character. No matter how shameless he might be, it's unlikely he would act so irrationally in those circumstances. At that time, he seemed possessed or mentally confused.

Hua Zhuyue closed her eyes, recalling the entire process just now. Tang Tianyi's behavior was very abnormal. When he lunged at Shang Lijun, he was completely irrational. If he had any clarity, he wouldn't have done that.

Shang Lijun said, "Do you mean that Xu Chunliang can manipulate someone's will? Is he a hypnotist?"

Hua Zhuyue said, "Don't be fooled by his youth; he's unfathomable. I've known him for a while and he feels very strange."

"So, you have feelings for him, sister. You're in trouble."

Hua Zhuyue smiled and said, "Even though he looks young, he conducts himself like an old demon who has cultivated for a thousand years, often acting in surprising ways."

Hua Zhuyue couldn't help but recall the scene where Xu Chunliang helped her with her health treatment; her toes instinctively curled. That damned guy, he caused me no small amount of trouble.

Shang Lijun said, "Is he a Jianghu person? You can check the background of Huichun Hall."

Hua Zhuyue said, "I've already checked; there's nothing wrong with Huichun Hall. His grandfather, Xu Changshan, is just an ordinary old doctor. If there's anything special, it's just that his medical skills are somewhat better."

Speaking of which, Hua Zhuyue recalled the time she secretly went to Xu Changshan for treatment without Xu Chunliang knowing, using the excuse that her shoulder hurt. Xu Changshan did give her a massage, but it seemed not as good as Xu Chunliang's. Although the areas were different, she could still tell the techniques apart. Could it be that Xu Chunliang surpassed his teachers?

The more Hua Zhuyue thought, the more confused she became. At this moment, her phone rang, and seeing the caller ID, she calmly said, "Tang Jinglun!"

Tang Jinglun was Tang Tianyi's uncle, the CFO of Huayuan Group, and a frequent visitor to Blue Star. A call from him at this time was undoubtedly related to this incident.

The phone kept ringing, but Hua Zhuyue had no intention of answering it.

Shang Lijun said, "Aren't you going to talk to him?"

Hua Zhuyue said, "Let them stew for a while. We're not the ones on the back foot in this matter."

Shang Lijun reminded her, "Huayuan Group is quite powerful in Pinghai. If this matter blows up, it won't be good for Blue Star either."

Hua Zhuyue nodded, "I know how to handle it."

When Tang Tianyi saw his father, he broke down in tears. Tang Jingwei frowned; seeing his son's pitiful state, he felt both distressed and annoyed. He had one son and two daughters, with this youngest son being his favorite, yet also the most troublesome. From a young age, he caused no end of trouble.

But usually, he was the one bullying others. However, recently, he's constantly at a disadvantage. Seeing his son injured was more painful for Tang Jingwei than if he himself were hurt. Words of reprimand got stuck in his throat.

The doctor briefly explained the condition: two fractured ribs, a broken nose, but fortunately no internal injuries—considered a blessing amidst misfortune. Given Tang Tianyi's condition, hospitalization was recommended.

Tang Jingwei instructed his assistant to handle the paperwork. At this time, Han Wensheng's parents also arrived. His father, Han Tai, was an automobile businessman owning multiple 4S stores in Pinghai, but his wealth couldn't compare to Tang Jingwei's. Due to his name, people secretly called him "Tire," and some even mockingly referred to him as "Old Tire Goods," related to his unscrupulous business methods.

Han Tai was notorious for his poor reputation, reportedly willing to betray even his parents for profit.

Although Han Wensheng wasn't physically broken, he had taken several kicks to his groin, swelling it like a pomelo. When his mother saw her son's critical parts in such a state, she nearly fainted in fright.

Han Tai stormed over to Tang Jingwei, shouting angrily, "President Tang, we can't let this go. We must hold the assailants accountable. Damn it, they completely disregarded us."

Tang Jingwei inherently looked down on nouveau riche like Han Tai, but he still maintained appearances, sighing, "Old Han, the police said they instigated the trouble first."

Tang Tianyi, having slightly recovered, wailed, "Dad... it's not like that... they framed me; Xu Chunliang framed me..."

Tang Jingwei glared at him and snapped, "Shut up!" Then he turned to Han Tai and said, "Old Han, let's talk outside."

The two went to the garden outside the emergency room, where Han Tai pulled out a cigarette and respectfully offered it to Tang Jingwei. Tang Jingwei waved it off, indicating he doesn't smoke.

Han Tai lit the cigarette, taking a few strong puffs, and said, "President Tang, they were ruthless, intending to make my son lose his lineage."

Tang Jingwei said, "Ask your son privately what really happened. Is what the police said true?"

Han Tai said, "I've asked around. They were just driving when that woman driving the BMW deliberately provoked them, leading them to a secluded place and setting them up. Also, that woman's name is Shang Lijun. She's not local and used to work at Blue Star. Tonight, defending her were two people: Blue Star's Vice President Hua Zhuyue and some guy named Xu Chunliang. Damn it, they're all bad news."

Having come from a background as a car repair worker, Han Tai wasn't well-educated and constantly swore.

Tang Jingwei frowned, "Don't act rashly. Let's figure out the facts first. If the kids are responsible, we'll compensate accordingly. If it's not our fault, no one can unjustly blame us." His anger matched Han Tai's, but he had better control over his emotions.

Han Tai gave a vigorous nod. Just then, a nurse walked by and scolded, "Who allowed you to smoke here?"

Han Tai took a strong puff, threw the cigarette on the ground, and stomped it out.

"Pick it up, where's your manners!"

Han Tai glared angrily at the nurse, "Get lost!"

"Who are you talking to?" The nurse wasn't someone with a good temper either, pointing at Han Tai as she approached.

Tang Jingwei quickly apologized to the nurse, realizing that associating with someone like Han Tai only degraded his own standing.
