Chapter 173 Conflict escalates
Chapter 173 Conflict escalates
Xu Ye was taken aback at first, then a sharp killing intent suddenly flashed in his eyes.
The same applies to Li Jinyun.
But she didn't say anything to Xu Ye, only looked at Su Zijin indifferently and said, "You're willing to ruin the relationship between our Li and Lu families for something like this?"
Su Zijing's face darkened, and she stared at her coldly, saying, "If you continue to be so rude to Aye, I'll break ties with your Li family right now!"
"Fine, then you can protect him well. I want to see how long you can protect him!"
Li Jinyun didn't back down at all, looking at Xu Ye with a cold smile: "Kid, there's plenty of time in the future. I'll play with you later."
"I hope that from today onwards, you'll stay hidden behind Zijing, otherwise..."
She didn't say anything more and stepped directly into the Public Security Bureau.
“Ah Ye…” Su Zijing frowned, a look of worry appearing on her face.
Despite the Su family being at the very top of the pyramid in the Nine Provinces, the Lu and Li families are actually not much weaker than the Su family.
Moreover, there's the Xie family too.
Now, because of her, Xu Ye has practically offended all three families. What if they really resort to any means necessary...?
Even if she went all out, she probably wouldn't be able to protect him.
The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became, and her beautiful eyes unconsciously welled up with tears.
Seeing her like this, Xu Ye quickly reassured her, "I'll be careful, don't worry."
Meanwhile, at Sacred Heart Hospital.
Xie Zhengdao, the head of the Xie family, who had just woken up, was lying on the hospital bed, cursing angrily.
"That Xu Ye from Jiangzhou is something else! How dare he challenge my Xie family like this? He's got a death wish!"
"If we don't kill him, my Xie family will be ridiculed in the upper echelons of Kyushu for years to come, and we'll lose all face!"
When the eldest son, Xie Jinhan, saw that his father was so angry that his heart rate was alarming, he quickly stepped forward to comfort him and said, "Dad, the doctor said that you have a severe concussion and you should not get too emotional. Please don't get angry."
"Not angry? How the hell can I not be angry?"
Xie Zhengdao was completely unable to calm down: "You're a piece of trash too. You just let that kid off like that? Didn't you see how badly I was beaten?"
Xie Jinhan gave a bitter smile and said, "How could I not want to avenge you? But with the eldest daughter of the Su family around... what can I do?"
Xie Zhengdao glared angrily: "So what? My Xie family can only swallow this insult?"
"Of course not. The forbearance is only temporary. The eldest daughter of the Li family and the eldest son of the Lu family have already contacted me. They said they have a plan and they are sure they can destroy the Xu family!"
Xie Zhengdao's expression softened somewhat, and he coldly snorted, "After wiping out the Xu family, we must spread the news as widely as possible, so that everyone knows the consequences of offending the Xie family!"
Xie Jinhan nodded matter-of-factly: "Dad, don't worry, I would have done it even if you hadn't said anything."
Father is right; the Xie family's authority is absolutely not to be challenged.
Dare to challenge the Xie family?
Simply looking for death!
……
Xiangzhou Provincial People's Hospital.
When Xu Ye and the others returned, their mother had indeed woken up.
He was just very weak because of his serious injury.
For this reason, neither Xu Ye nor Aunt Lan talked to her about what would happen tonight. Instead, after arranging the flight, they took her back to Jiangzhou overnight.
It wasn't until almost dawn that his father called, and he recounted the whole story from beginning to end.
He revealed everything, from how the incident started to his revenge, down to the smallest detail, without any concealment.
Before he could finish speaking, Xu Chongrui's voice, filled with anger and laughter, came through: "What a fine Xie family of Xingcheng! Very well, truly very well!"
"Alright, you don't need to worry about this anymore. Leave it to me, I'll handle it myself!"
After saying that, he was about to hang up the phone when Xu Ye quickly stopped him and said, "Dad, you're not angry with me?"
Xu Chongrui asked, "Why should I blame you? What did you do wrong?"
Xu Ye said, "Mom got hurt because of me..."
Xu Chongrui said, "I didn't ask you that. I only asked you, what did you do wrong?"
Xu Ye was silent for a long time before replying, "My mistake was falling for a vicious woman, and my mistake was not having time to kill her!"
"So you know you were wrong, why should I blame you?"
Xu Chongrui said, "You did not do anything wrong in the Xie family matter, you did not do anything wrong in the Li family matter, and you did not do anything wrong in the Lu family matter."
"If someone hits you, tries to steal the woman you like, or even recklessly and without any moral boundaries harms your mother, are you not allowed to fight back?"
"If you really let others bully you and don't even dare to fight back, then you are wrong, terribly wrong!"
"Remember, you are my son, Xu Chongrui's son!"
"The Li and Lu families are indeed remarkable, and the Xie family is certainly a problem, but my Xu family is not one to be trifled with either, understand?"
Xu Ye felt a warmth in his heart, and with reddened eyes, he said softly, "I understand, Dad..."
After hanging up the phone and spending some more time with her mother at the hospital, Aunt Lan asked Xu Ye to take Su Zijin home to rest.
Xu Ye then remembered that she hadn't rested all night while following him, so he quickly apologized to her with a guilty look on his face, and then took her to his villa.
Su Zijin took a shower before going to bed.
Xu Ye then took out his phone and dialed the numbers one by one.
Although his father said he would handle what happened last night, he was still worried.
Besides, he already has his own plan, which is almost complete, so he's unlikely to give up easily.
But perhaps because he caught a chill yesterday, Xu Ye actually caught a cold and started having a runny nose?
He didn't pay much attention, grabbed a few tissues, blew his nose, and threw the tissues into the trash can.
Su Zijing walked out of the bathroom after making her last phone call.
Her face was slightly flushed because she had just taken a shower.
She asked, "Do you want to take a shower?"
"Yeah, I'll just take a quick shower," Xu Ye said.
"Then you should go quickly," Su Zijin said. "And while you're at it, please get me a tissue."
Xu Ye was right next to the tissue box, so he casually tore off a tissue and gave it to her. She took it and wiped her hands with it.
Just as I was about to throw it into the trash can, I suddenly noticed that there were a few tissues inside.
This is a villa; it's cleaned regularly every day.
Moreover, she had glanced at the room before entering and remembered that it was very clean, without any trash, let alone tissues.
So it's quite obvious that this has just been used.
And they were all tangled up, yet you could vaguely see that they seemed to be stuck together...
Xu Ye sensed something and subconsciously turned around.
Su Zijin is looking at me.
But there was something strange about his eyes; he seemed a little lost and somewhat panicked.
"???"
He looked completely bewildered.
The next moment, Zijing took a deep breath, threw the tissue in her hand into the trash can, then glanced at Xu Ye with an ambiguous look and pursed her lips slightly.
Xu Ye instantly understood what she meant.
What did you do while I was taking a shower?
Xu Ye: ...
