When Jiang Chen walked out of the ward, he saw Shi Fengyue sitting on the bench in the corridor. Seeing him coming out, Shi Fengyue got up, and said lazily, “Where are you going?”

“To the He’s.”

This was a private ward with good sound insulation. Shi Fengyue knew that Jiang Chen and Shen Xu had something to talk about, so he didn’t go in on purpose. He didn’t know what happened. Hearing that Jiang Chen was going to the He’s, he only thought it was a private matter between him and the He family, so he didn’t ask any further.

He stood up and said, “I’ll see you off.”

Jiang Chen’s lips were pressed tight, his jaw moved slightly, as if nodding, and he walked forward past him.

Only then did Shi Fengyue realize that something was wrong. He caught up with him in two to three steps, and walked side by side with him. His tone was more concerned than before: “How did Huo Bo get injured?”

Jiang Chen’s footsteps stopped, and the air around him instantly cooled down, and his face seemed to be covered with frost: “He Qianjian hit him.”

“He Qianjian?”

Shi Fengyue’s eyes showed some surprise. In his impression, although He Qianjian was vain and hypocritical, he could almost say that he was impeccable in putting up a pretense to the outside world. If it weren’t for the accidental mishaps before, even he would have found it difficult to notice He Qianjian’s unusual skills and his style of doing things behind the scenes.

According to He Qianjian’s caution in the past, even if he really didn’t like someone he would not do the dirty work himself. But if the target was someone who had ties to Jiang Chen, it was hard to say.

When the He family approached Jiang Chen, Jiang Chen and He Qianjian’s identities came to light, apart from Xiang Hong who took out the test report, Shi Fengyue was the only outsider who knew about it.

It wasn’t that Jiang Chen informed him intentionally, but he guessed it from the sudden increase in the frequency of contact between Jiang Chen and the He family, and Jiang Chen didn’t hide it from him afterwards, and directly admitted it.

At that time, Shi Fengyue advised Jiang Chen to pay attention to He Qianjian.

Unexpectedly, after a long time, Jiang Chen did not come to any harm, but instead his friends were implicated.

Shi Fengyue didn’t ask any further questions, he opened the door of the co-passenger seat, and went around to the driver’s seat to drive. He remained silent all the way, and when they were about to reach the He’s, he glanced at the young man in the rearview mirror who had been so calm and almost indifferent, and asked, “How are you planning to handle it?”

Jiang Chen didn’t answer. Shi Fengyue lowered the car window to let the security guards at the entrance and exit see clearly the people inside.

When the security guard saw Jiang Chen, he immediately smiled, “Young Master Jiang, good evening.” After saying hello, he let them in.

Shi Fengyue didn’t make any sound until the car stopped in front of the garage on the first floor of the He family house. The car door opened, and Jiang Chen went to ring the doorbell. Shi Fengyue got out of the car slowly, and stood beside him.

Yang Yun was helping He Qianyu with her homework. He Yanfeng was upstairs in the study, and the only one in the living room was the helper auntie who stayed in the He family. She looked at the surveillance camera and saw that it was Jiang Chen, and immediately smiled: “Young Master Jiang Chen, come on in.”

As an old helper who once took care of old Mrs. He, the He family’s helper auntie naturally knew Jiang Chen’s true identity. During these few months, Jiang Chen would be there every month at the family dinner and this did not need to be hidden from the srrvants either.

She knew that He Yanfeng and his wife attached great importance to this child, and immediately went upstairs to inform them after opening the door. Both He Yanfeng and Yang Yun were very surprised. Jiang Chen had never come over without a warning, but they hadn’t seen each other for a long time, and they both felt pleasantly surprised.

He Qianyu was also very pleasantly surprised. When the helper auntie informed Yang Yun, she was also present, and now she didn’t want to do homework anymore. She jumped off the stool as soon as she put the pen down, and ran out of the room impatiently, not forgetting to knock on He Qianmin’s door.

——Knock knock knock, knock knock knock.

The knocking rhythm was extremely fast, and the excitement and eagerness of the person knocking could be heard.

He Qianmin was working on a math competition question, and when the knock on the door sounded, it was just when he had found his train of thought. But as soon as the distinct rhythm sounded, all the clues he had just now were lost. He put down the pen, frowned, and pulled the door open forcefully, with an anger that was about to explode on his face.

It was just that before the anger could come out, He Qianyu’s next words scattered everything.

“Second Brother! Brother is back!”

Ever since she knew that Jiang Chen was her real brother, He Qianyu changed how she referred to him, He Qianmin was still the second brother, He Qianjian changed from eldest brother to Brother Qian Jian, and Jiang Chen directly changed from Brother Jiang Chen to Brother, the closeness and distance in relation were clear when you hear it.

Because of this, He Qianjian even secretly scolded the He family members behind their backs for being more cold blooded than the next, and only valued blood relationship and not the feelings developed over many years.

He Qianyu’s knocking on the door was quite loud, and He Qianjian next door also heard it. As soon as he opened the door, he heard this sentence, and he sneered from the bottom of his heart, closing the door again.

His slamming of the door was neither loud nor small, but his room was next to He Qianmin, so He Qianmin and He Qianyu could see his movement clearly.

He Qianyu shrank her neck, and realized belatedly: “Brother Qian Jian is not happy.”

He Qianmin snorted coldly, and walked out with the door closing behind him, “Who cares about him.”

Since He Qianyu saw He Qianjian in a fight with Jiang Chen last time, she had an inexplicable fear of him. Later, with the exposure of Jiang Chen’s true identity, He Qianjian became more and more gloomy every day, and her relationship with him became even more distant. Seeing He Qianmin ignoring He Qianjian, she also followed him downstairs.

……

The iron door opened with a click, and Jiang Chen walked straight in. Shi Fengyue followed behind him in a leisurely manner. It was his first time visiting the He family house, and he looked at the surrounding environment with some interest.

As soon as he reached the first floor, he saw He Qianyu jumping down from the last few steps of the stairs, and ran to Jiang Chen: “Brother!”

Jiang Chen had long been used to this once every time he met He Qianyu, and the coldness in his eyes faded a little. He opened his arms to catch her: “Be careful not to fall.”

“Brother.” He Qianmin came downstairs half a step behind, and when he saw Shi Fengyue behind Jiang Chen, he was surprised, and his footsteps paused: “Why are you here?”

“He drove me over.” Jiang Chen explained casually, and went straight to business: “Where’s He Qianjian?”

He Qianmin frowned: “What do you want him for?”

After these words fell, Yang Yun and He Yanfeng also came downstairs. They were very happy to see Jiang Chen, and they were also surprised for a moment when they saw Shi Fengyue beside him.

He Yanfeng smiled. There was a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, probably because he didn’t take them off when he left the study just now, and his smile looked a bit more scholarly because of this: “Xiao Shi is here too.”

Shi Fengyue put away his lazy look, nodded politely to He Yanfeng and Yang Yun: “Uncle He, Aunt He.”

Yang Yun’s attention was all on Jiang Chen. Seeing that his complexion was not very good, after nodding to Shi Fengyue, she immediately held Jiang Chen’s hand, and asked with concern, “Why are you so thin? And why is your face so pale? Did you wear too little, or is there too much work in the institute?”

Jiang Chen pursed his lips, the cold anger greatly dispelled by He Qianyu’s hug and Yang Yun’s soft voice. He tugged at the corners of his lips, not forgetting the purpose of coming here this time.

“My mom just gave birth.”

As soon as he opened his mouth, the living room fell silent, and Yang Yun’s hand holding him froze.

He Yanfeng was the first to know about this matter. Not only did he know that Yang Yun had given birth to a daughter, but also that before Yang Yun gave birth, Jiang Chen and Xiang Hong were talking in the garden of the Affiliated Hospital of Yan University, and was overheard by Jiang Zhuo.

As soon as Jiang Chen opened his mouth at this time, he thought Jiang Chen was about to bring up this matter. He took off his glasses and was about to speak when he heard Jiang Chen change the subject: “During her childbirth, I received a phone call, one of my best friends whom I grew up with was beaten badly enough to need surgery.”

“The operation was completed fifty minutes ago. From here to here, someone smashed him twice with the sharp corner of a solid wooden stool.” Jiang Chen’s index finger moved down from above the right eye until the end of the eye that was close to the temple, “Sewn twelve stitches, and he’s still unconscious.”

Yang Yun was taken aback, and subconsciously said: “That’s so serious, who hit him? What’s going on?”

He Yanfeng faintly realized something. When Jiang Chen left the Affiliated Hospital of Yan University, Xiang Hong called him and said that Jiang Chen answered the phone and left after holding his younger sister for a while. It seemed very serious, because his complexion was very ugly when he left.

At that time, Xiang Hong asked if something happened, and whether he should send someone to investigate, and if there was something wrong, he could help, but He Yanfeng refused. He knew Jiang Chen’s ability and believed that he could handle it by himself. And secretly, he also hoped that if something serious happened, Jiang Chen would ask him to help.

With this matter, their father and son relationship might be able to get closer.

Now that Jiang Chen came over and brought up the matter of his friend, there was a high probability that the handling of this matter may require the He family to take action.

He Yanfeng smiled, and said with confidence: “Is there any trouble that your friend might’ve gotten into, or is it the background of the one who injured him, do you want Dad to help?”

Shi Fengyue’s eyelids twitched slightly, and he raised his eyes to look at He Yanfeng. The corners of his mouth curled up a little bit, and then he pressed it down subtly, wondering why he didn’t realize that Tunan Group’s boss was not very smart before.

He Yanfeng didn’t notice Shi Fengyue’s hidden amusement at all. His attention was all on Jiang Chen. Seeing Jiang Chen slightly pursed lips, he recalled what he had investigated when he learned of Jiang Chen’s identity, and knew that how important his only two friends were to him, he immediately said: “You tell Dad, no matter who the other party is, they must pay the price for hurting someone like this, Dad will definitely help you.”

However, He Qianmin had a faint premonition. He remembered the phone call from before, and Jiang Chen asking where He Qianjian was just as soon as he entered the door. He frowned and hisbown expression looked ugly.

“Brother, who is injured? Brother Shen Xu or Brother Huo Bo?”

“Huo Bo.” After Jiang Chen answered He Qianmin, he shifted his gaze back to He Yanfeng and Yang Yun. He gently pulled out the hand held by Yang Yun, his eyes darkened: “I will personally make him pay the price. I hope you don’t meddle in this matter.”

He Yanfeng frowned slightly, something flashed through his mind, and he asked, “Who is the one who hurt your friend?”

Jiang Chen opened his lips and enunciated each syllable: “He Qianjian.”

Yang Yun’s face changed slightly, and she turned to look at her husband, but He Yanfeng’s face remained calm. He just looked into Jiang Chen’s eyes and asked him, “What are you going to do?”

Jiang Chen remained silent, looking at the stairs behind him. The two looked at each other silently for a few seconds, then He Yanfeng turned slightly sideways, moving out of the way for one person to pass.

When Jiang Chen passed by, he said calmly, “Violence cannot solve any problems.”

Jiang Chen paused slightly, then passed him by.

Violence could not solve any problems, and using violence to control violence was always the most clumsy and low-level means of revenge.

For a long time, Jiang Chen also thought so. Even though he faced He Qianjian’s many provocations before, even if they had a life-and-death enmity, Jiang Chen never thought of using violence to solve the problem.

In the final analysis, it was because from the very beginning, he didn’t take He Qianjian seriously. In Jiang Chen’s eyes, his opponent was the system in He Qianjian’s head from the beginning to the end. He Qianjian did all kinds of evil things, but he also relied on the system to do so, and those evil things were most likely encouraged by the system, and when he lost the system, he would naturally be nothing.

There was no need for him to deal with him at all. For a person who attached all his worth to an external object, once this external object disappeared, he would be like a pile of mud.

What Jiang Chen wanted was never that He Qianjian would pay for taking his life with his own life. Apart from the fact that he occupied the body of Jiang Zhuo and Yang Si’s own son, it was also because he wanted him to see with his own eyes the retribution for his evil deeds.

However, it wasn’t until Yang Si and Huo Bo met with accidents one after another that Jiang Chen realized that the duration before this soul deep revenge was too long, and before the system in He Qianjian’s body was truly removed, he would always hurt the people by his side without fear.

His previous ignorance turned into a form of laissez-faire in another sense. He made He Qianjian feel that he was weak, so He Qianjian defined him as one who could be easily bullied. It was precisely because of his underestimation, and because he did nothing to He Qianjian on the surface, that He Qianjian treaded on his bottom line step by step, provoking and hurting his most important people.

Now, he would let He Qianjian know that there was a price to pay for everything, and this price would be paid by him personally.

Jiang Chen knocked on He Qianjian’s door three times.

He Qianjian opened the door in response. Before he could see the person outside the door, his face was hit with a heavy punch, followed by a kick that knocked him to the ground. The severe pain in his tailbone and the bridge of his nose made it impossible for him to not scream out. He raised his eyes to see the person at the door, and hatred burst out of his eyes instantly.

“Jiang Chen!”

Jiang Chen closed the door expressionlessly, and locked it with a click.

When He Qianjian heard this sound, he subconsciously felt that something was wrong, he shrank back a few steps, and said vigilantly, “What are you going to do?”

“What you did to Huo Bo, I will do to you.”

He Qianjian froze, thinking of Huo Bo who fell in a pool of blood in the afternoon. He couldn’t help but feel palpitations, and cold sweat spread down his back in an instant.

Could it be that Huo Bo was dead, and Jiang Chen wanted to kill him to avenge his friend?

Thinking of this, He Qianjian shuddered. He got up with difficulty and embarrassment, quickly ran behind the desk, glanced across the surface, and quickly picked up the heaviest sculpture decoration. He Qianjian gritted his teeth and said to Jiang Chen, “This is the He family, do you really dare to do something here?”

Seeing Jiang Chen approaching step by step, He Qianjian leaned his back against the wall, and raised his voice: “If you do this, you won’t be afraid that your parents and grandparents will settle accounts with you? Do you think because you are their own son, you can hurt me casually? Let me tell you, I have been in the He family for eighteen years, and I know them better than you. If you hurt me today, their impression of you will definitely drop again and again. In the future, if you want the He family resources or enter Tunan, it will be difficult.”

He Qianjian spoke very fast, such a long series of words only took a few seconds, but in just a few seconds, Jiang Chen was already right in front of his eyes.

When he was half a meter away from He Qianjian, Jiang Chen paused, and He Qianjian’s tense shoulders relaxed a little. He was overjoyed, thinking that Jiang Chen had listened to his words. Mocking ridicule flashed across his eyes, but his face did not show a hint.

“If you go out now, I can tell Mom and Dad that we were just playing casually and you just accidentally hurt me. I believe for you this is…..what are you doing!”

A scream accompanied by the muffled sound of heavy objects falling to the ground could be heard. He Yanfeng and Yang Yun glanced at each other, and quickly lifted their legs to run up the stairs. Shi Fengyue followed behind them, not at all treating himself as an outsider.

He Qianmin pushed He Qianyu to the helper auntie at home, and told her: “Don’t let her go upstairs.” Then he took the stairs in three or four steps at a time.

“Chen Chen!” Yang Yun knocked on the door vigorously: “Chencl Chen open the door, you must not be impulsive!”

He Yanfeng also said in a deep voice: “Xiao Chen, calm down, don’t cause things to lead to unmanageable consequences. “

There was still no movement inside the door, Yang Yun and He Yanfeng looked at each other and knocked on the door even more violently.

But before knocking for long, the door opened.

Jiang Chen stood inside the door, glanced at them mildly, and then straightened his sleeves slowly. The soft folds of the shirt cuffs were curled up in the crook of his arms. The young man’s aura was bright and clean and soft, his handsome face was expressionless but his lowered lashes were soft and gentle. If not for the scream just now, everyone outside the door might think that he was just reading a book in the study, and it was even an elegant literary work.

Yang Yun froze for a moment, then suddenly came to her senses and craned her neck to look inside.

“Where’s Qian Jian?”

Jiang Chen turned sideways to let them in.

There was no one in the room, only the French windows behind the desk were wide open, and the soft gauze curtains danced with the wind.

“Brother, where did He Qianjian go?”

He Qianmin voiced everyone’s questions, and only Shi Fengyue looked once around, and when his eyes touched Jiang Chen, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he slowly mouthed something.

Jiang Chen saw what he said clearly, and the hostility in his heart drifted away with the wind. He rolled his eyes at him.

Suddenly, a low wail came from outside the window, the wind carrying it into the bedroom. Everyone reacted and walked to the balcony outside the window.

“Qian Jian?” Yang Yun was relieved when she saw He Qianjian had fallen into the flower bed, but couldn’t help worrying: “Are you okay?”

He Qianjian looked at the heads protruding from the balcony, and the humiliation and resentment in his heart surged. He gritted his teeth, and his resentful eyes passed through the first few people, as if he could see Jiang Chen in the room.

He clutched his broken leg, his face twitching slightly in pain, remembering what just happened.

He thought Jiang Chen stopped because he was persuaded by him, but he didn’t expect that Jiang Chen would suddenly turn around and pick up the small wooden tea table next to the sofa with one hand. Almost instantly, he realized what Jiang Chen was going to do.

He Qianjian retreated immediately, but found that there was no way to retreat. Seeing that Jiang Chen had turned around and came this way again, he knew that he couldn’t win against Jiang Chen, so he immediately opened the French windows and fled to the balcony. But before he had time to lock the glass door, Jiang Chen had already squeezed in.

In his hand was a small tea table that was not much different from a solid wooden chair, and used it to hit his right leg without blinking. The sound of his bones breaking accompanied the indescribable pain, and He Qianjian’s vision blackened and became spotted. He had just regained his senses when he saw Jiang Chen lift up the tea table again, and the target seemed to be his possibly broken right leg.

Once the tea table swung down, he might have to sit in a wheelchair for the rest of his life!

He Qianjian desperately wanted to escape, but every movement of that injured leg shot pain through him that felt like it penetrated into the bone marrow. He was covered in cold sweat, and when he raised his eyes to meet Jiang Chen’s calm gaze, he felt a chill run up his back. On the top of the head, the hair stood on end, and he couldn’t help begging for mercy: “I was wrong, I shouldn’t have killed your friend, please let me go, I was wrong, don’t kill me…..”

Jiang Chen paused, then suddenly took a deep look at him, and weighed the tea table in his hand, seemingly finding kindness.

“If you jump from here, I will let you go, or, this table will break your other leg, choose one.”

His room was on the second floor, and it would be no problem to jump down if he was not injured. Even if he was injured now, it would be better than having his legs be broken by Jiang Chen.

He Qianjian didn’t hesitate at all, and even rolled and climbed over the column-shaped stone railing on the terrace, landing on the ground with a bang.

It wasn’t until the stabbing pain of countless small wounds on his body and the sharp pain in his buttocks came that he remembered that He Qianyu had used this area to grow cactus some time ago.
