"Hao Jian, did you really throw her down?" Watching Hao Jian throw Zhang Li into the cesspool, Lin Qingxue's pretty face instantly showed a stunned expression. She had always thought Hao Jian was just scaring Zhang Li to make her apologize properly. She never expected him to actually throw her... Seeing Lin Qingxue behind him and hearing her words, Hao Jian couldn't help but roll his eyes. He then walked up to her, shook his head helplessly, and said, "Now the issue is resolved. If there's nothing else, let's head to the hospital. Your injury needs treatment." Saying this, Hao Jian reached out to pull Lin Qingxue, thinking he could lead her away, only to find that she didn't move at all. Stunned for a moment, Hao Jian looked at Lin Qingxue's face, a look of astonishment quietly appearing. "Hao Jian, you're so handsome!" Before Hao Jian could speak, Lin Qingxue blushed, wrapping her arm around Hao Jian's, her beautiful eyes revealing admiration. Under this admiration, she seemed to forget her previous pain. Hearing this, Hao Jian touched his nose, then gently flicked Lin Qingxue's forehead, teasing, "You're already beaten up , and you're still being starstruck." "Let's go, I'll take you to the hospital. Don't think about these things." After saying this, Hao Jian bent down and lifted Lin Qingxue, who exclaimed softly. Looking at Lin Qingxue, who blushed shyly in his arms, he grinned, "Were you really planning on walking by yourself? Let me take you to the hospital." Nodding with a flushed face, she then buried her head deeply in Hao Jian's chest, not daring to look at him. She was afraid that when she looked into his eyes, she wouldn't be able to contain her affection, and her body wasn't in great shape right now. At this moment, Lin Qingxue felt a bit regretful. Why did she have to mess with Zhang Li? This way, she wouldn't have gotten hurt, and she could have gone shopping with Hao Jian. After that, Hao Jian took Lin Qingxue to the hospital. The examination results were not much different from his initial assessment, and treatment didn't require his personal intervention; the hospital could handle it well enough. Looking at Lin Qingxue, who was in a deep sleep on the bed, Hao Jian smiled lightly, turned around, and left the ward. He had planned to find Lin Qingxue to hang out together today, but this was the result. But it's okay, luckily he happened to join the excitement; otherwise, he wouldn't even know Lin Qingxue got beaten. Thinking of this, Hao Jian rubbed his chin, it seemed necessary to have Spice Ginger do a clean-up in Hua City, as there were just too many random people lately. As Hao Jian left the hospital, Spice Ginger called. "Young Master Hao, I've dealt with the people. Those three guys came in recent years, usually hanging around University Town. We didn't bother with them, but now they're in the ocean." "Hmm, as long as it's resolved." Hao Jian knew why Spice Ginger was calling. First, to update him on the resolution progress, and second, to apologize to Hao Jian. But Hao Jian didn't mind these things. Although Lin Qingxue's injury did make Spice Ginger's crew extremely nervous, after all, he managed to save her, and this incident wasn't much related to Spice Ginger and his team. Even if he were to handle it, he wouldn't bother with those small fry, as people in high positions never really worry about small fry causing trouble. "By the way, while you're at it, clean up the University Town area for me. It's getting more and more chaotic there, not very safe." With Spice Ginger's call, Hao Jian could instruct him on some matters. After all, Spice Ginger kept tabs on most of the gangsters in the whole Hua City. By telling him, he knew what to do. "Haha, Young Master Hao, no need for you to say, I've already chased away the gangsters around University Town. I believe there won't be major problems there in the future." He anticipated that Hao Jian would definitely want that place cleaned up, so Spice Ginger had already sent people over. Just a while ago, they'd brought the news over. But he couldn't guarantee that nothing would truly happen there since some gangsters were attending college, and there were many students in University Town; he didn't dare to act recklessly. "Hmm, just keep an eye on the happenings in University Town. If necessary, you can borrow the Sky Eye system from Director Lin." Hao Jian nodded, then smiled, "Don't know the time either, I guess you must be very busy lately with this issue, right?" "Tonight, take your brothers out for a good meal. Anyway, you don't lack money, so I won't send any more money. I have to head back; remember to send some smart guys over to the hospital these days, that Qingxue girl is still staying there." Talking about this, Spice Ginger's expression turned serious. Although Hao Jian couldn't see his expression, he could sense his seriousness from his tone. With a smile, Hao Jian hung up the phone. After all, even if he didn't say it, Spice Ginger would also handle it well for him. The major matters require his involvement, but the rest, he hardly ever needed to deal with personally. In the following days, Hao Jian either spent his time at the Beauty Nest, went shopping in the streets, or spent a day at the amusement park. While Hao Jian was enjoying himself, the airport in Hua City welcomed someone who gave Lin Qingxue quite a headache. "Hehe, Brother Gui, you're back!" One noon, as Zhang Gui emerged from the airport door with his suitcase, he heard a familiar voice. He turned his head and, seeing the source, walked over with a smile on his face. In front of him was a decent-looking man with a sycophantic expression. This man was Liu Yong, Zhang Gui's number one follower in Huaxia. "It's you, kid! You seem to have gotten more handsome over the years!" Seeing Liu Yong, Zhang Gui's face also showed a faint smile. Over the past few years, he had been studying abroad and rarely returned to Huaxia, but he never lost touch with these followers. As they walked and chatted, Zhang Gui suddenly remembered something important. He turned to Liu Yong, who was helping him with his luggage, and asked, "While I was away, nothing happened to Qingxue, right?" Hearing this, Liu Yong shook his head and said, "Nothing much happened in the past few years. She just moved from Sanshui City to Hua City for her studies." "At Hua City University?" For Zhang Gui, the only place in Hua City that could be considered a university was Hua City University. So, upon hearing that Lin Qingxue was in Hua City, that was the only place that came to his mind. Liu Yong nodded. "Brother Gui, are you planning to transfer and head back to Sanshui City?" Upon hearing this, Zhang Gui shook his head and said, "Since Qingxue is in Hua City, I won't go back to Sanshui City. If I'm not mistaken, Uncle Lin should have moved the company's headquarters to Hua City, right?" "That's right. Chairman Lin has already moved the company to Hua City." Zhang Gui nodded and didn't ask further, letting Liu Yong book a hotel room for him. He then picked up his phone to play. The Zhang family and Lin Qingxue's family have been close family friends for generations. The two families have always had a good relationship, and Zhang Gui and Lin Qingxue grew up together like childhood sweethearts. From childhood to adulthood, they always called each other brother and sister, without any other relationship. However, as time went by and they grew older, Zhang Gui slowly developed feelings for Lin Qingxue, or perhaps a sense of possessiveness. This time, his main reason for returning home was that his birthday was coming up in a few days, and he was a bit tired of life abroad, so he wanted to celebrate his birthday back home. Otherwise, he wouldn't have bothered coming back. Of course, the most important thing was wanting to see Lin Qingxue. Over the years abroad, he met a lot of foreign girls, but none lasted more than a month or two. Those girls lacked the graceful temperament of Lin Qingxue; or rather, the ones he met were all revealingly dressed and had fiery personalities. As Zhang Gui headed back to the hotel, Lin Qingxue, who was discharged a few days earlier, also received a call from her father, saying that Zhang Gui had returned to the country. Upon hearing this news, Lin Qingxue frowned slightly. "Daughter, I can see how Zhang Gui feels about you, but you're with Young Master Hao now. If you don't plan to go, I'll refuse on your behalf. Even if I butt heads with that guy Zhang Huai, I won't let them take you." "Dad, you're being too serious." Understanding her father's feeling, Lin Qingxue smiled and shook her head. She glanced at her desk, which was filled with photos of Hao Jian. "Since Brother Zhang Gui returned for his birthday, I should attend, but it's also to make him give up. Besides, I think Hao Jian should know about this, and I believe he will definitely stand by my side." "You always said Hao Jian has a mysterious background, which I don't really grasp, but Dad, with Hao Jian by my side, you shouldn't worry, right?" Listening to his daughter, he nodded and smiled, "With Young Master Hao with you, I'm at ease. With him around, that kid Zhang Gui wouldn't dare do anything." "Alright, I'll hang up now." Lin Qingxue nodded and smiled as she hung up the phone. After hanging up, she felt a little nervous as she dialed Hao Jian's number. Although Zhang Gui was just a childhood friend, she worried that Hao Jian might misunderstand. The call connected quickly, and Hao Jian's lazy voice came through, dissipating Lin Qingxue's nervousness. It seemed like having him around made her feel secure.
