Chapter 525: The School Tyrant Alpha Gets Sanctioned Again! 30

Zhou Fangshu saw Jiang Xun and a few people enter; his first reaction was also somewhat panicked, but thinking that he now wasn't someone without backing, the panic in his heart lessened considerably.

He stood beside Madam Xie, smiling obediently.

Just these few days of eye drops he gave Madam Xie were enough to let him stay safely in the Xie household.

But he never expected that Father Xie, who had always been dissatisfied with him, would treat Jin Chen so well.

Jiang Xun glanced at Zhou Fangshu, then suddenly said, 'Uncle Xie, I'll just say it straight—we came today to find Zhou Fangshu.'

'There are some questions that really need his answer.'

Father Xie frowned deeply, unable to gauge the current relationship between the Jiang family and Jinyu—whether these two were just here to show support or had other motives, he also needed to figure it out.

But before he could dwell on it long, Jinyu spoke up first in a cold voice.

'My brother and Xiao Xun are now in a romantic relationship; as for the Jiang family's affairs, I naturally won't ignore them.'

His gaze was sharp, carrying a faint oppressive feeling.

'After all, Jin Chen is the family's sole Enigma; his partner having issues that need resolution naturally warrants attention.'

The shock these two short sentences brought to the Xie family was not just a little.

Jin Chen shuddered as he listened to his brother speak.

I'm really not used to being praised by him.

But on the surface he still wore the same cold expression as Jinyu.

What else does Father Xie not understand?

If they really offended Jin Chen, given the Enigma top-tier predator's attributes, they would definitely not let the Xie family off.

He gave an embarrassed smile, 'Of course, of course, ask whatever you want.'

Father Xie's attitude could even be described as fawning.

This made Zhou Fangshu's previously subsided nervousness resurface in his heart, and he instinctively grabbed Madam Xie's arm for help.

The Madam Xie who had originally promised to protect Zhou Fangshu now remained silent.

She wasn't a fool either; after years as a noble lady of a wealthy family, though she didn't fear the Jiang family, her equal, Jin Chen was a member of a major family in Didu!

She could naturally tell which was more important.

'I see the honored guests have arrived; I'll go prepare some fruit in the kitchen, you all chat.'

Madam Xie shook off Zhou Fangshu's hand, pretended not to see anything, and turned to leave the living room.

When she ran into Xie Yangze, she still pulled him back, not letting him enter.

'Xiao Ze, there are some people you can't provoke, and also some people you can't protect.'

Madam Xie warned in her tone, 'If Xiao Zhou provoked someone else, the family could still help, but this person is different.'

'Find a time to break it off with him; I'll cancel the engagement banquet.'

Madam Xie now only felt immensely relieved that she hadn't spread the word yet.

'Mom? How could you say that!'

Xie Yangze wanted to shake off her hand, but a single sentence rooted him to the spot.

'If you want the Xie family to go bankrupt, to be homeless, then go ahead and help Zhou Fangshu.'

Madam Xie understood all too well this child's spoiled nature; she had gauged that Xie Yangze couldn't bear to give up what he currently has.

'You're still young; you'll meet many more interesting people in the future—why ruin the whole family over one person?'

Xie Yangze paused, brows tightly furrowed, his heart torn.

In the living room, Zhou Fangshu waited in vain for Xie Yangze; the nervousness in his heart had already turned to fear.

Jiang Xun's mind was filled with events from two years ago, so his tone naturally wasn't good.

'Zhou Fangshu, I'll ask you again: does Shen Can becoming a vegetative state have anything to do with you?'

He looked at Zhou Fangshu, wanting to retort, but then added, 'Don't rush to think of excuses—we already learned that over the past two years, the Shen family's parents have been sending you money.'

'Moreover, the Shen family's parents share no blood relation with Shen Can at all.'

Zhou Fangshu's eyes showed panic, his hands clenched tightly into fists, the hem of his clothes crumpled out of shape.

How could… how could Jiang Xun and them have found out so much?

'I don't know what you're talking about…… Shen Can is my good friend; how could I possibly harm him?'

Jin Chen: 'Good friend, so you can spend his money with a clear conscience?'

Perhaps because Jin Chen's aura today was overly oppressive, Zhou Fangshu was frightened into a shudder, lowering his head as his voice trembled.

'That…… that money is because I get along well with Shen Can, and Uncle Shen treats me like their child.'

Jiang Xun scoffed, 'That's interesting—the real child is still lying in the hospital, and they don't care at all.'

'On the contrary, they keep sending you money every now and then for this friend.'

The more he spoke, the colder his tone became.

'If you still haven't spoken a word of truth, I'll also beat you into the hospital to lie there.'

Jiangjian listened to his younger brother's chuunibyou threat, his finger twitched, but he restrained himself from giving him a knock on the head here.

Afterward, something unexpected happened that nobody anticipated.

Zhou Fangshu's face turned deathly pale, and he actually fainted right then.

Jiang Xun, who hadn't managed to ask anything yet: '……'

He took a deep breath, grabbed Jin Chen's arm to calm himself down.

He had never felt someone so troublesome before!

Jin Chen's mouth twitched slightly; he still admired the protagonist's ability to faint at the drop of a hat.

'This……' Father Xie also hadn't expected this development, hesitating as he looked at Jinyu, 'Should we first send him to the hospital?'

But don't let him die in his house.

"No need, I see he's quite weak."

"Jin Chen responded first, while comforting his wife and coldly ordering, 'It would be better to send him to the sanatorium to be kept, so that someone can look after him long-term.'"

"What does Mr. Xie think?"

"Of course, of course."

"Father Xie had no objections; wherever he goes is fine."

"I'll have someone drag him to the sanatorium right now."

"This trip yielded no result; Jiang Xun felt a bit discouraged, and just as he stepped out of the Xie family's main gate, he received a call."

"Thinking it was La Tiao and the gang calling to inquire about the result, he hesitated for several seconds before answering."

"Brother Jiang! Shen Can has woken up!"

"Lu Renjia's excited voice came through the phone: 'Hurry over here!'"

"Jiang Xun stopped in his tracks; upon recognizing it, he was filled with uncontrollable excitement."

"Alright, I'll come with Jin Chen right away."

"Brother, please keep an eye on the Shen family's parents for me! Thanks!"

"Jiang Xun quickly finished speaking, took Jin Chen's hand, and ran to the car."

"He no longer has to bear the guilt of having caused someone to become a vegetative state!"

"At the sanatorium ward entrance."

"The door was slightly open, and inside came various excited voices asking after his well-being."

"However, Jiang Xun hesitated to enter."

"He feared that Shen Can still blamed himself and would become overly emotional."

"'Don't worry.' Jin Chen comforted him, 'Only Shen Can himself still knows what happened back then.'"

"If Jiang Xun is to truly put this past behind him, we must uncover the truth."

"Hmm..."

"Jiang Xun nuzzled into Jin Chen's embrace, regaining his courage."

"'Jin Chen, he won't blame me, will he?'"

"'If he blames me, let him. Once the truth is found, he will naturally understand.'"

"Jin Chen planted a kiss on his lips, saying, 'Go in.'"

"'I'll accompany you.'"
