Chapter 1266: Helping Chen Lan Once Again!
After Fang Hong left, Shen Mingcheng dialed Chen Lan's phone number.
Chen Lan did not answer the call, so Shen Mingcheng sent a text message.
"You really are ruthless enough; in order to take revenge on me, you actually arranged for thugs to ambush me in the middle of the night.
We were husband and wife after all, why must you be so vicious in your actions?"
Chen Lan felt it was inexplicable and replied to the message: "Shen Mingcheng, you are a lunatic, don't go splashing dirty water on me."
Shen Mingcheng sneered and continued to bombard her with messages: "Splashing dirty water? Hmph! I am lying in the hospital right now. During the New Year, sending me to the hospital makes my heart go cold. However, this has solidified my resolve. I will not give up. In this life, you are my person while you live, and my ghost when you die!"
Chen Lan was trembling with anger and threw her phone to the side.
She tried hard to adjust her emotions, and it was only with great difficulty that she calmed her mood.
Shen Mingcheng was beaten by someone; could it really be that someone helped her vent her anger?
The only people who knew about this matter were Du Xi's family.
After thinking it over, Chen Lan dialed Du Xi's phone number.
Du Xi answered the phone: "Sister, Happy Spring Festival."
"Happy Spring Festival!" Chen Lan murmured, then said hesitantly, "I received a text message from Shen Mingcheng early this morning. He said he was beaten last night and claimed I arranged for people to take revenge on him. I wanted to verify this; do you know about this matter?"
Du Xi thought for a moment and did not hide it: "After Tang Ye learned that something happened to you, he was very furious, so he arranged for people to warn him. He is actually still harassing you; it seems he doesn't remember the pain."
Chen Lan felt a bit touched, yet also a bit uneasy: "Shen Mingcheng is just a piece of human trash; letting you all get involved with him has caused you trouble."
Du Xi comforted her: "Sister, don't let your imagination run wild. We are definitely going to handle your affairs."
Upon hearing this, Chen Lan could not help but feel a soreness in her nose, and tears flowed from the corners of her eyes.
She wiped away the tears and said softly: "Thank you."
Chen Lan knew that Tang Ye had made arrangements to vent her anger, and she felt quite conflicted inside.
Tang Ye had helped her once again.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Fang Hong came to the hospital again to visit Shen Mingcheng.
"Mr. Shen, are you feeling better today?"
Shen Mingcheng nodded: "Much better."
Fang Hong said: "I have investigated the background of that security guard. His name is He Yu, he is twenty-two years old this year, and unmarried. When he was in the military, he once got into a fight due to a verbal dispute while out, received a disciplinary action, and was discharged from the ranks."
Shen Mingcheng saw that his background was fine: "Did you mention work to him?"
Fang Hong nodded: "I mentioned it. I offered him a monthly salary of ten thousand yuan, which is worth half a year of his wages. He immediately took off his security uniform and came with me directly. He is outside!"
A smile appeared on the corner of Shen Mingcheng's mouth: "This person knows how to seize an opportunity."
Fang Hong said: "I was afraid that those people would still come to harass you, so I arranged for him to protect you in the hospital."
Shen Mingcheng was silent for a moment: "Let him in!"
Fang Hong called He Yu in.
He Yu looked a bit reserved: "Mr. Shen, hello."
Shen Mingcheng said to Fang Hong: "If you have things to do, go ahead and get busy; having Little He accompany me is enough."
Fang Hong smiled and said goodbye: "I have something to do tomorrow, I will come to see you again the day after."
After Fang Hong left.
Shen Mingcheng asked He Yu: "That night, there were so many people on the other side, why did you step forward?"
He Yu said truthfully: "I am the security guard for the residential complex; protecting the residents and maintaining the safety of the complex is my duty."
Shen Mingcheng nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Little He, you are quite lucky to have met me. Work for me well. As long as you are loyal enough to me, I will definitely not treat you unfairly."
He Yu nodded vigorously: "Mr. Shen, the salary you offered me is very high. I cherish this opportunity. I will keep in mind the things Boss Fang entrusted to me; as long as I am here, I will absolutely not let you suffer any harm."
Shen Mingcheng continued to paint a big picture for He Yu: "Working for me, what you get is not just money. In a while, you will know what I mean by this."
There was movement outside the door.
Shen Minghan walked in carrying a stainless steel thermal container.
She saw He Yu, felt a bit surprised, and said to Shen Mingcheng: "Isn't this the young man who saved you that day?"
Shen Mingcheng explained to Shen Minghan: "Boss Fang and I have asked him to work for me from now on."
Shen Minghan knew that He Yu's skills were good, and a look of relief appeared in her eyes: "You do need to arrange a reliable helper by your side. Little He, I will leave things to you from now on."
He Yu hurriedly said: "Please rest assured, I will definitely work hard and protect Mr. Shen's safety well."
Shen Minghan opened the thermal container and greeted He Yu: "I made a lot, Little He, will you eat with us?"
He Yu firmly refused: "No, I am not hungry. You two eat!"
Having said that, he walked out the door: "I will be right outside; if you need anything, just give me a call."
After He Yu walked out, Shen Minghan said with full appreciation: "This Little He is quite sensible and has a good sense of boundaries."
Shen Mingcheng joked: "Sister, you can't just praise people casually; if Brother-in-law hears it, he will probably get jealous."
Shen Minghan's cheeks turned red: "You brat, you have quite some nerve, daring to tease your sister."
Shen Mingcheng sighed: "I actually envy you and Brother-in-law for having such a good relationship and being so loving. I actually regret that my marriage with Chen Lan failed. Chen Lan has big problems, and my problems are not small either. If it weren't for me being too greedy and too playful, I wouldn't have ended up at that point."
Shen Minghan used a spoon to tap her younger brother's head: "I have reminded you many times, don't mention that heartless woman in front of me. If it weren't for her, would our family have become like this?"
Shen Mingcheng's eyes turned cold: "I suspect she was drugged by the Du Family. Du Chengfeng, that dog, actually dealt such a vicious hand to me; I will absolutely not let him off."
"Was it arranged by Du Chengfeng?"
"Yes! Those people are gangsters from Hanzhou. It has everything to do with Du Chengfeng!"
Shen Minghan was quite depressed: "Du Chengfeng's luck is too good. Your brother-in-law has thought of many ways in secret, but he has never been able to stop his momentum of promotion."
Shen Mingcheng clenched his fists and said through gritted teeth: "The higher he climbs, the worse he will fall. Only by delivering a fatal blow when he is least on guard can I resolve the hatred in my heart."
Shen Minghan was stunned by the ferocity revealed by her younger brother.
The change in Shen Mingcheng is too great.
He seems to have had his mind clouded by hatred...
Returning home, Shen Minghan raised her concerns to He Haiyang.
"Husband, Mingcheng has become a stranger to me. Seeing the ruthlessness revealed in his eyes, I subconsciously shiver."
He Haiyang sat on the sofa watching television and said nonchalantly:
"A man must be ruthless to succeed. Whether serving as an official or doing business, one needs a bit of bandit spirit."
"If your younger brother had possessed this ruthlessness a few years earlier, that would have been good."
"Of course, it is not a bad thing that he can change now..."
