Chapter 154 Finally, I can rest.
This is no ordinary fight or dispute!
Chen Yuan's breakfast shop is now a cultural and tourism landmark in the city, attracting a surge in daily customer traffic and spending, and even boosting the sales of surrounding shops.
These are all key indicators for the year-end assessment of the Culture and Tourism Bureau.
If someone with ulterior motives finds out that Boss Chen was beaten up here...
The trending topic, "Local security is poor, popular shop owner attacked in the early morning, forced to close," has sparked another public outcry. Who will take responsibility?
The duty officer's voice even changed tone.
"Mr. Chen, are you alright now? We'll send someone to pick you up right away! I...I'll report this immediately!"
"No."
Chen Yuan's voice sounded very calm.
"I'm taking a taxi to the hospital to get a medical check-up right now, but I really can't open for business today, so I wanted to let you know."
"That's settled then, you guys coordinate it."
After hanging up the phone.
The duty officer frantically dialed the emergency contact number of the Culture and Tourism Bureau.
His voice changed as soon as the call connected.
"Boss! Something terrible has happened!"
"Chen Yuan, the owner of a breakfast shop, was attacked and injured in the early hours of the morning and is unable to set up his stall! If he has to stop serving customers for a few days, all the tourists from out of town will be in an uproar!"
"I request that the emergency response plan be activated immediately!"
On the other side...
Time moves forward.
Lin Hao's three blows landed squarely on Chen Yuan's body. He watched as Chen Yuan staggered to the ground, clutching his wounds, without uttering a single harsh word. The tension in his heart was instantly replaced by ecstatic joy.
The only downside was that some nosy person, who appeared out of nowhere, interrupted his plans.
This was the first time Lin Hao had done something like this, and he ran away as soon as he was scared.
He first pressed his hat down tightly, covering his face.
Then he turned and went into the intricate old neighborhood, his pace quickening until he was almost jogging.
Lin Hao wasn't too stupid; he parked his electric scooter some distance away.
He got on his bike and rode off without looking back.
After returning home.
He lay on the sofa, recalling the scene from just now, his fingers trembling slightly with excitement.
Overwhelmed with excitement and boiling blood, he didn't know where to vent it, so he dialed Lin Wei's number. When she answered, his voice was filled with barely suppressed smugness.
"It's done, sis!"
"Yes, right there in the dark alley where he left the neighborhood, I hit him three times with a stick while it was dark. The kid fell to the ground without making a sound, and I didn't even get a clear look at my face!"
"I'm not trying to be mean, but how did you end up with such a coward? He's probably scared out of his wits. If he had made a sound or tried to hit me a few times, I would have considered him a real man. But he's such a coward, a useless piece of trash."
"What are you afraid of? He definitely won't dare to call the police. You've finally gotten your revenge!"
And on the other end of the phone.
Still asleep, Lin Wei leaned against the headboard, listening to her younger brother's thrilling description. A sudden wave of panic washed over her, but then she strangely calmed down.
The pent-up frustration that had been building up inside me for so long seemed to vanish with the sound of the voice on the phone.
She imagined Chen Yuan collapsing in pain, and besides feeling a sense of satisfaction, she also felt a pang of heartache.
"You... I'm not trying to be mean, but why are you still so reckless? Did anyone see anything? Are you sure he won't call the police?"
After receiving an affirmative reply, she rebuked in a weak tone.
"You too, you hit so hard! What if you'd really hurt someone? Besides, aren't there any security cameras around here?"
Lin Hao, on the other side, scoffed indifferently.
"Why check the surveillance footage? I already found out. There are no cameras in that area, and there's only one small street lamp in that alley. I can run fast with a hat and mask on."
"Sis, don't worry, even if he knows it's me, what can he do? If he dares to call the police, I'll beat him every time I see him, until he submits!"
Lin Wei bit her lower lip, but ultimately did not give in to her demands.
She sighed, and her voice softened.
"Alright, alright, this is the only time. Don't be so impulsive in the future. No matter how bad he is, he's still your ex-brother-in-law. What if we remarry in the future? It would be so awkward if we met again."
The person on the other end started laughing.
"Sis, I'm not trying to be mean, but you're really pathetic. He treated you like that, and you're still thinking about remarrying him."
"What do you know? You'll understand after you get married. Even if we don't remarry, he's still Youyou's biological father."
"Okay, okay, I got it."
Hang up.
Lin Wei let out a long sigh and pulled the blanket over her shoulders.
The thorn in my heart seemed to have been mostly removed by those few "sudden blows".
That's enough to vent your anger.
Turn the page, and life goes on.
However, what they didn't know was...
Chen Yuan had his own purpose in everything he did, and he had no intention of swallowing his anger.
In the rented room.
Chen Yuan lay in bed, finally able to get some rest.
The sound of sirens outside the window, a barrage of phone calls from various departments, and a chaotic online chat.
Everything happened like a sudden downpour.
Chen Yuan applied ice packs to his left shoulder and left side of his waist, where he had been hit by the stick and was now swollen.
He was looking through his phone.
Notifications of case filing, brief messages about injury examinations, and messages from the neighborhood committee coordinating emergency response kept popping up.
But what does it have to do with him?
He is now just a weak, pitiful, and helpless wounded man.
Think about it.
Chen Yuan calmly dialed Su Qingxue's number.
"Qingxue, what I'm about to say might surprise you, but you have to promise me you'll stay calm. I need your help right now."
"Huh? What happened?"
"When I was getting ready to go to pick up goods in the early morning, I was hit three times with a stick at the gate of an elementary school. I suffered soft tissue contusion in my left shoulder and a suspected fracture of my ribs. I've already had my injuries checked. But I'm fine, don't worry."
Chen Yuan heard the other person gasp, and he said something else.
"I'm calling you because I don't want you to worry, and also because I can't lift my left shoulder properly, and I can't apply an ice pack. I need your help."
There was a three-second silence on the other end of the phone.
Su Qingxue's calm response felt somewhat unsettling.
"Okay, I got it. I'll be right there at your house. Is there anything you need me to bring you?"
"...No need for that."
"Okay, I'll head out right away."
Then came the sound of hurried dressing and the clinking of keys.
After a few seconds, silence fell.
Chen Yuan: I felt a chill down my back, a bad feeling...
as predicted.
Fifteen minutes later.
"Bang bang bang!"
A banging sound was heard on the door.
Listen to that urgent sound.
It felt as if the person knocking on the door would break down and enter at any moment.
