On the way to the county hospital, Rong Liya rinsed her mouth with a strong double mint-flavored mouthwash the entire time.
However, when she got out of the car, she could still smell a strong fishy odor in her mouth, which made her feel nauseous.
She truly regretted drinking Chen Zao's foul liquor. Although the drink had made her body feel very comfortable and relaxed, the taste was simply unbearable! It was so bad it made her want to die!
Damn it, what kind of person brews such terrible liquor! Only a lunatic like Chen Zao could produce something so foul!
Originally, she felt grateful to Chen Zao for saving her that night and even more appreciative that he had recorded a video that might save her life.
But now, overwhelmed by the unbearable stench coming from her mouth and body, Rong Liya began to resent Chen Zao again. She vowed never to drink such foul liquor again, not even if it killed her! The smell was driving her insane!
Throughout the journey, her assistant Song Jing kept stealing glances at Rong Liya with a strange look but didn’t dare to ask anything.
However, the way she looked at Rong Liya revealed her thoughts: Is your morning mood really that bad? How can you smell this terrible!
This left Rong Liya feeling like crying without tears; she was too embarrassed to talk to Song Jing and could only cover her mouth with a mask, trapping all the foul odor inside.
In the VIP ward of the county hospital.
Rong Zhe, who was about to be discharged but still resting, was awakened by Rong Liya's call and immediately noticed the unbearable stench that even her perfume couldn't cover.
His first question was: "Did you soil yourself? Why do you smell so bad?"
Rong Liya nearly fell to her knees from his question and replied in distress, "Don't joke with me; something serious has happened!"
She then recounted everything that had happened that night to Rong Zhe.
Rong Zhe listened while feeling increasingly angry, his body trembling with rage. The area around his sternum, which had never healed properly, throbbed with a dull pain.
Once Rong Liya finished speaking, Rong Zhe immediately scolded her, "I told you not to provoke that bastard Qin Sheng! You wouldn’t listen! Look what’s happened now!"
Rong Liya, feeling wronged and helpless, replied, "I didn’t provoke him; he has been coming after me. I only see him as an ordinary friend."
"Ordinary friend? Ha! Do ordinary friends give you a million-dollar necklace? Do ordinary friends invest millions in your movies? I’ve told you before, Qin Sheng’s intentions are not pure. You’re still foolishly thinking he’s just a fan of yours! Mom thought you were a silly child when you couldn’t talk or move for three years after being born. Now it turns out you really are a fool! You let that idiot dressed as a mushroom get close to you without even trying to avoid him. You’re just a big idiot!"
Rong Zhe grew angrier, unleashing a torrent of vulgarities.
The reason for his fury was clear: tonight's incident would ruin all of Rong Liya's career and financial prospects!
Qin Sheng was not someone an ordinary person could provoke.
Tonight, not only had Qin Sheng been provoked, but he had also been beaten badly! He would undoubtedly seek revenge, and the kind of anger he felt was something they could not bear.
Feeling extremely displeased by Rong Zhe's accusations, Rong Liya shouted back, "The incident has already happened! What good is your blame now? He was the one who tried to drug and assault me! Why are you putting all the blame on me?"
"The root cause is you! If you hadn’t attracted him in the first place, none of this would have happened!"
"If I hadn’t attracted him, how could I have become this popular? How could I have bought houses for you and Mom and Dad? How could I support your extravagant lifestyles while you leech off me?"
Rong Liya spoke the truth in her anger.
Rong Zhe's face turned pale at her words, but he couldn’t continue to criticize her.
He could only shift the blame onto Chen Zao, pounding on the hospital bed in frustration. "Damn it, that lunatic selling Roujiamo is your nemesis! You've only met him a few times and look at all the trouble he's caused!"
Rong Liya was even angrier. "I don't know about the Nemesis, but if it weren't for him, your sister would have been raped tonight! Did you even listen to what I just told you? It was that guy selling Roujiamo who saved me!"
Rong Zhe knew that Chen Zao was the one who saved Rong Liya, but he thought it would have been better if Chen Zao hadn't intervened. If Rong Liya had gone along with Qin Sheng, the outcome would have been much better than it is now.
Such a beastly thought was something Rong Zhe certainly wouldn't dare to share with Rong Liya.
But he genuinely felt that way.
Now, he could only vent all his frustrations on Chen Zao.
Rong Zhe pondered for a moment. If he could find some brothers to deal with Chen Zao, ideally beat him up badly, and then take Chen Zao to apologize to Qin Sheng, perhaps there would still be a chance to smooth things over.
Unless absolutely necessary, they definitely couldn't confront Qin Sheng head-on or engage in any kind of mutual destruction.
If that happened, not only would Qin Sheng not be punished, but Rong Liya's entire future would also be destroyed, and her life could even be ruined. This was something Rong Zhe couldn't accept.
For now, they had to swallow their anger and pretend that Qin Sheng hadn't done anything so beastly. They needed to hold onto Chen Zao and try to appease Qin Sheng.
"What should we do now? Should we call the police?" Rong Liya anxiously sought Rong Zhe's opinion.
"Don't call the police yet; if you do, your future will be over!" Rong Zhe sternly warned Rong Liya against calling the police.
Rong Liya didn't want to call the police either, but without doing so, how could they deal with that terrifying bastard Qin Sheng?
"Right now, you should let Song drive you to Chang'an and leave overnight. Don't stay in this remote place any longer; the security here is terrible. If Qin Sheng is looking for trouble, he will definitely come here. Go to Chang'an and hide for a while to avoid the storm. I'll talk to the crew and help you take a leave of absence."
Rong Liya nodded gloomily; with the situation so tense, she indeed needed to get away for a bit.
"I'll be discharged from the hospital tomorrow and see if I can find someone to settle this matter. If it can't be resolved, we'll think of other ways."
"You can settle Qin Sheng?" Rong Liya was a bit surprised.
"How could I possibly settle him! I'm looking for someone to handle 'this matter'!"
Rong Zhe knew that Rong Liya was quite stubborn and would definitely disagree with his plan to cripple Chen Zao and apologize to Qin Sheng, so he decided to distract her: "In any case, don't worry. Go to Chang'an and find a good hotel. Focus on taking care of your stomach issues; I'll handle this matter. How much cash do you have on hand that you can access?"
"I have about three hundred that I can transfer immediately." To settle such a big issue, money was definitely needed, and Rong Liya was willing to spend it.
If it could save her career, she would be willing to give up all her assets; after all, she could earn more later.
However, what Rong Liya didn't expect was that Rong Zhe actually wanted to take advantage of this money too!
He calmly told Rong Liya, "Transfer that three hundred to the account I frequently use first thing in the morning. I'll try to sort this out. If it's not enough, I'll ask you for more."
"Alright, I should be able to transfer some more money over in a week." Rong Liya said somewhat resignedly, "Just do your best to resolve it; I'll accept however much it costs."
