LUO REN was on a site located outside the city center since this morning. He was checking on it for the current project he was handling. He didn’t notice that his phone died because of an empty battery. He actually didn’t expect that to happen. It’s a reminder that he should always check his phone when leaving the house.


    That way, when an important message or call came, he could always read and answer it. Unlike what happened today.


    After he finished the inspection, that was only when he noticed that his phone had died. He could only charge it in his car. When he turned it on, he saw Luo Yan’s message, telling him about Yu Jiao’s hospitalization.


    He felt like time had stopped and everything just became dim. His heart started beating fast, not because of excitement or nervousness but because of fear. He didn’t know how he got on the car. His body just moved on its own and drove the car to the direction of the hospital that Luo Yan mentioned on his message as fast as he possibly could.


    On his way there, there was simply no thoughts in his mind. Because all he could think about was wanting Yu Jiao to be safe. Then he received a call from his younger brother telling him the entirety of the situation.


    It turned out that this incident was cause by Yu Jiao’s stepsister. When he heard of what that girl did, the tightened his grip on the steering wheel to the point that his knuckles almost turned white. He thought that Mo, whatever her name was, was just a bully. He didn’t expect that she would actually be this crazy.


    Luo Ren remembered his conversation with Mo Guang Lin and his expression just darkened. Did that old man not even do anything to control his daughter after the things he said to him? Or maybe he just didn’t care and was justpletely blinded by his ’lovely’ daughter? Either way, that old man was also at fault for things to escte this way.


    If he didn’t do any payback, this suffocating gas inside his heart would have no way to vent.


    He walked inside the hospital, already thinking of ways he could torment that father and daughter duo. He didn’t do much and just warned Mo Guang Lin, hoping that the other would be smart enough to heed his advice if he wanted to not ruin his marriage.


    But who would have thought that the other was actually not only stupid but blind as well when it came to his love for his daughter? If he had known that things would turn out like this, he would have probably just straight up threatened the old man. Maybe that would be more effective.


    As he walked, he noticed that people who walked to his direction automatically made way for him. As if they were afraid that if they bumped into him, he would surely go crazy and attacked them. That made him stop. He took a deep breath and tried to calm down himself.


    He couldn’t see his expression right now. But based on the expression of the people around, it’s probably really scary for them to react that way. He couldn’t meet Yu Jiao looking like he was about to murder someone.


    After taking a few deep calming breaths, he felt like his expression was finally back to normal. Or at least as normal as he could right now despite the maelstrom of emotions gathering inside him.


    Luo Ren took out his phone and called Luo Yan. The other quickly answered.


    "Brother? Are you already near the hospital?"


    "I’m actually already here," he answered. "What’s Jiao Jiao’s hospital room number?"


    "Don’t go here yet. Jiao Jiao and her mom is still talking."


    When Luo Ren heard what his younger brother said, he just realized that he was also about to meet Yu Jiao’s mother. If this was a normal situation, he would probably be nervous thinking of how he would make a good impression on the other’s mother. But he really couldn’t bring himself to be nervous right now. Since the two emotions he was currently feeling the most – anger and worry – overshadowed any other miniscule emotions.


    And besides, he had a bit of a grudge against Yu Jiao’s mother. She could have prevented the situation from escting to this if only she protected Yu Jiao as she should. He knew he didn’t have the right to me her. If Yu Jiao knew what he was thinking right now, she would definitely be mad at him. But he just couldn’t help it. For him, Yu Jiao’s safety and mental health were much more important.


    "Are you at the hospital lobby? I’ll just go there and meet you."


    Hearing what Luo Yan said brought Luo Ren’s thoughts back to what they were talking. "Yes, I’ll wait for you here."


    The two ended the call and he waited for his younger brother. It didn’t take long for Luo Yan to appear and walk to where he was standing.


    "How is Jiao Jiao’s injury? Is she alright? What did the doctor say?" he quickly asked as soon as his younger brother stood in front of him.


    "As I’ve said with my phone call earlier, she only suffered an external wound injury. It would definitely heal in no time," Luo Yan answered with a bit of a helpless tone.


    Truth to be told, Luo Ren didn’t understand most of what Luo Yan had said when he called while he was driving. Because he was simply so worried. He only understood that Yu Jiao was injured because of Mo Jian’s craziness.


    But despite knowing now that Yu Jiao was not in any sort of danger, he still couldn’t calm his worry as long as he hadn’t seen her with his eyes. He let out a frustrated sigh.


    "Should I just make the Mo family bankrupt?" he thought. Then, he just realized that he actually said those words out loud. He turned to his brother who was now looking at him with amusement. "What do you think, Yan Yan? Should brother do just that?"


    Luo Yan almost let out augh because of Luo Ren’s unexpected gaffe. He had no doubt that the other really had a way to do just that. But somehow, he just couldn’t agree with this method.


    "As much as I enjoyed thinking of Mo Jian being stuck in poverty, I don’t think bankrupting her family is the best solution," she said. "Remember, we are only angry at her and maybe his father for enabling her. But if we bankrupt their family, they’re not the only one who would suffer. Thousands of their employees would too. Many would lose their jobs. Some may be hired immediately but that definitely would not be the case for most."


    Luo Ren felt ashamed by his thoughts after hearing what Luo Yan said. He truly didn’t think that far enough. "Yan Yan’s right. I’m just too muddleheaded to properly think."


    Luo Yan smiled and said with a teasing tone, "Is that why you’re nning to act like some overbearing CEO so you could take revenge for your female lead?"


    Luo Ren smiled helplessly when he heard that. "Yan Yan."


    "What, I’m just telling it as I see it," Luo Yan said before revealing a rather cryptic smile. "Don’t worry, Brother. I already have a way to avenge your female lead."
