Shen Shanshan had multiple head injuries and two broken ribs, but fortunately, the head injuries were only abrasions and did not affect her internal organs, which was a small blessing in the midst of misfortune. After the surgery, the lead doctor called Xin Yi into his office and asked seriously, "What exactly happened? There were aphrodisiac drugs found in her system. If we hadn't discovered that the corresponding substances were added to the liquid, it could have been a serious problem."
This beast actually used such methods on Shanshan; it seemed it was time for him to face his demise, Xin Yi thought to himself. However, he said to the doctor, "Thank you, Doctor. I’m not sure about the details, but I know she must have been harmed by someone. Could you provide a report on the presence of these drugs in her system? It might be useful for the police."
"Of course. We based our findings on her blood test results, and I can certainly provide that. I personally detest such despicable behavior! People like that should be severely punished by the law!" the doctor said with righteous indignation.
"Alright, please make me a copy," Xin Yi requested. He wanted to keep this evidence in his hands first to provide it to Lu Jianming later since he was aware of Josen's considerable influence and methods; it would be troublesome if they tried to pressure the hospital.
After receiving the test results, Xin Yi called Zhong Kai to inquire about the situation there. Zhong Kai informed him that the Criminal Police Team had sealed off the scene, and everyone, including Josen, had been taken away by them. All physical evidence from that private room, including food and drinks, had been collected for testing. He mentioned that Big Bull and the others were already on their way back to the Beng Hu Lian base.
Xin Yi hung up and thought for a moment before calling Qin Dali. When the call connected, he said, "Dali, gather the team immediately and inform our intelligence personnel in S City. Tell them to investigate all personnel arrangements and weaponry of the opposing side before tonight. Wait for my orders!" Xin Yi was truly furious this time; he wanted to take down S City while Josen was still being investigated by the Criminal Police Team as a grand gift for Josen.
Then Xin Yi made another call to Huang Mang, instructing him to notify Du Hong, the leader responsible for S City in North District, to prepare manpower to take over S City. After arranging these matters, Xin Yi finally arrived at Shen Shanshan's hospital room. Shen Shanshan was still unconscious due to the anesthetics; her head was wrapped in bandages, and her pale face evoked a sense of pity.
Xin Yi pulled up a chair beside her bed and silently gazed at Shen Shanshan lying there. From their chance encounter at Lusang Nation Airport to his visit at Farm, Shen Shanshan had often shown her infatuated love for him. Xin Yi was not an unfeeling person; how could he not sense Shen Shanshan's feelings? Moreover, from her words, it seemed she had quietly liked him for years. Yet this girl who cared so deeply for him almost lost her purity due to that despicable man Josen and nearly lost her life as well. Xin Yi felt he must avenge her; it would also serve as a way to make amends for his own guilt towards her. However, he did not realize that this so-called guilt could never truly be compensated unless he loved her…
He sat there for an unknown amount of time when Shen Shanshan let out a soft sound; she must have woken up feeling pain in her body. Xin Yi quickly stood up and leaned closer, softly asking, "Shanshan, are you awake? Does it hurt?"
Hearing Xin Yi's voice, Shen Shanshan struggled to open her eyes and smiled at him stubbornly as she said, "No, it doesn't hurt. I'm not afraid of pain with you by my side... Ouch..." It seemed she had inadvertently moved a wound and gasped in pain.
"Alright, don't talk now; just rest," Xin Yi said.
"Okay," Shen Shanshan nodded and closed her eyes but suddenly opened them again and said, "You can't leave; stay with me."
"Okay, I won't leave. By the way, Shanshan, do you want me to notify your family? They must be worried."
"Sure, I'll give you a phone number; it's my home number. Please call them for me."
Xin Yi dialed the phone number given by Shen Shanshan, and the call was answered by a servant at home. She said that Madam had gone out to play cards, but she could reach her. Xin Yi briefly explained the situation at the hospital to the servant before hanging up.
Not long after, Mother Shen hurried over, accompanied by a tall officer who looked to be around Xin Yi's age. Xin Yi noticed that his rank insignia indicated he was a Major. As soon as Mother Shen entered and saw Xin Yi sitting beside Shen Shanshan's hospital bed, she grabbed Xin Yi by the collar and shouted, "Is it you?! Did you harm my Shanshan like this?! I will kill you!"
Xin Yi ignored her and coldly replied, "Let go!" At that moment, Shen Shanshan was startled awake and saw her mother gripping Xin Yi. She quickly called out, "Mom! What are you doing? Let him go!"
"Shanshan, this person harmed you like this; I will kill him!" Mother Shen shouted in desperation.
"Mom! It's not him! Xin Yi saved me! Ouch..." Shen Shanshan cried out, which caused her wound to hurt, making her wince in pain.
Mother Shen hesitantly released Xin Yi and turned to her daughter, rushing over to her. "Shanshan, my dear daughter, who is it that harmed you like this?! Does it hurt? Ah?"
The officer who had come with Mother Shen assessed Xin Yi and extended his hand. "Hello! I'm Shen Liwei, Shanshan's brother. Thank you for saving my sister!"
"Hello! I'm Xin Yi, a college alumni of Shanshan!" Xin Yi also reached out his hand.
Their hands clasped tightly together and only separated after a while. Shen Liwei laughed heartily, "Your handshake is quite strong, have you practiced?"
In truth, Xin Yi hadn't used all his strength; he merely matched Shen Liwei's grip. Seeing Shen Liwei's question, he chuckled and said, "I practiced a few self-defense techniques with my elders when I was young; nothing impressive."
Shen Liwei observed his mother and sister speaking softly to each other before turning to Xin Yi. "Come on, Brother Xin, let's step outside and talk."
At this moment, Xin Yi was glad to avoid Mother Shen's cold gaze. He nodded and walked alongside Shen Liwei out of the ward. They descended from the inpatient building and arrived at a secluded lawn in the hospital. Throughout the walk, Shen Liwei remained silent with a stern expression, occasionally furrowing his brow as if deep in thought. Xin Yi couldn't tell what he was thinking but sensed his unfriendly demeanor and became wary. Did he really believe that Xin Yi had harmed Shen Shanshan? If he truly thought so, why had he been so friendly just moments ago in the ward?
Upon reaching the lawn, Shen Liwei pointed to a bench ahead and said to Xin Yi, "Brother Xin, let's sit here for a moment." He gestured for Xin Yi to take a seat first.
Xin Yi was not polite, taking a step forward to walk towards the bench ahead of Shen Liwei. Just as Xin Yi took his third step, he suddenly felt a strong gust of wind coming from behind. Shen Liwei had unexpectedly launched a sneak attack, raising his leg to kick towards the back of Xin Yi's head. Xin Yi was already on guard and did not dodge. As Shen Liwei's leg approached his head, Xin Yi gathered strength and swung his right arm to meet it. According to common sense, the collision between an arm and a leg would typically result in injury to the arm, especially considering the tremendous force behind Shen Liwei's kick. However, Shen Liwei was taken aback by Xin Yi's hard-hitting approach. Was this kid really just someone who had learned a few moves of Kung Fu? This fighting style clearly rejected his strengths with his own weaknesses; did he not realize he would be at a disadvantage? Or was he actually a hidden expert who didn't care about this kick?
Of course, all this thinking happened in an instant. When Shen Liwei's leg collided with Xin Yi's arm, he immediately understood that Xin Yi belonged to the latter category. He felt as if his leg had kicked against an iron rod, and pain surged through the point of contact. It was clear that spot must have turned black and blue. Fortunately, Shen Liwei had practiced kicking since childhood; even if it were an iron rod, he had kicked it before—just never with such force.
After blocking Shen Liwei's kick, Xin Yi couldn't help but admire silently; this kicking technique was quite impressive. If it were an ordinary person using such force, the only outcome would likely be a fractured shinbone, possibly even a compound fracture. Xin Yi had deliberately chosen this hard-hitting approach; he didn't know what Shen Liwei was thinking. If he intended to harm him, this would serve as a warning for him to recognize his own strength and back off. Regardless, he didn't want to conflict with Shen Shanshan's older brother. If Shen Liwei merely wanted to test his own Kung Fu, this could also be a good way for him to understand his own abilities and avoid further entanglement. After all, if they kept exchanging blows and ended up hurting each other, that wouldn't be good.
Who knew that Xin Yi had miscalculated? After being blocked by Xin Yi's arm, Shen Liwei exclaimed in surprise and continued to lift his leg to kick again. This time, he unleashed a series of rapid kicks. One couldn't deny that Shen Liwei's kicking skills were extraordinary; the flurry of kicks surrounded Xin Yi, creating a veritable storm of legs targeting him from all angles—high, middle, and low. Xin Yi smirked slightly; it seemed things were getting interesting. He hadn't expected that Shen Liwei's Kung Fu would surpass that of Qin Dali. While Qin Dali excelled in iron fists and had average kicking skills, encountering such a formidable opponent made Xin Yi want to play along.
Surrounded by Shen Liwei's barrage of kicks, Xin Yi surprisingly closed his eyes calmly. This wasn't an act of bravado; under such rapid kicking techniques, one simply couldn't trust their eyes. The structure of the human eye made it incapable of accurately perceiving fast-moving objects, leading to many illusions. Thus, relying on bodily sensations was more effective.
If one were to place Xin Yi under a high-powered microscope at that moment, they would see every hair on his body standing on end like the antennae of some lower animals, collecting signals of danger from the outside world while his entire body remained still amidst layers of retreating shadows. Suddenly, Xin Yi swiftly extended his right hand towards his throat and opened his eyes wide. He had firmly grasped Shen Liwei's right ankle in his hand. With a powerful upward lift and release of Shen Liwei’s leg, he propelled him into a backflip in mid-air. Upon landing, Shen Liwei burst into laughter: "Hahaha... I didn't expect that the self-defense techniques spoken by Brother Xin would be so impressive! I apologize for offending you!"
"What do you mean by that, Brother Shen?!" Xin Yi replied somewhat angrily. "You started attacking without saying a word! If I hadn't learned some self-defense techniques, wouldn't I have been left searching for my teeth today?"
"Hahaha... Brother Xin, please don't take offense! I did this to test you for my sister's sake; I don't want her to end up with someone who can't even protect himself! I apologize for my earlier offense! I'm sorry!" laughed Shen Liwei.
Wait a minute; was this guy's way of speaking too aggressive? What kind of logic is that? Just because they fought once meant he was choosing a brother-in-law? Did he think this was some kind of martial arts matchmaking?
