Volume 1 Chapter 79 Return to School * Poisonous Scheme

  Zhao and Feng spoke with flying spittle and extreme indignation.

  He was also a figure who called the wind and rain in B city, but his new store was smashed not long after it opened, and even hurt some younger people. How can he still show his face here in the future?

  "Third Uncle, are you more heartbroken over your store or Yanyan?" Zhao Gan's mouth opened and he knew it would be a non-stop flow of words, so he immediately spoke up to interrupt the questioning of his motives.

  "How dare you speak to me like that, of course I'm worried about Yan Ran!" Zhao He Feng was interrupted and his desire to stir up trouble was not satisfied, but he quickly came back to himself and looked at his father's face, immediately defending himself.

  Zhao Qing Shan glared: "Heartache? After you entered the house, you didn't even ask about Yan Ran once, what kind of heartache is this?"

  Look at your store, it's obviously a restaurant, what are you doing with guest rooms upstairs?

  Look at those security guards, what kind of level are they? Can't even prevent something like this from happening?

  You're still giving that little girl a house card, she's an unmarried girl, which family doesn't have a place for her to sleep, what are you giving her that thing for!

  Does she let you get away with anything?

  "When will your brain be used in the right place?"

  Zhao and Feng were scolded by Laozi with just one sentence, leaving them stunned. In front of their juniors, they were naturally unhappy, but after opening their mouths a few times, they stared wide-eyed with grievance, yet had no words to refute, and finally closed them in a fluster.

  Zhao Ganqun lowered his eyes and thought to himself that if these two found out, it would be strange if tonight's matter didn't blow up into something big.

  However, how things will end still depends on Zhao Yanran's attitude.

  As expected, after Zhao Qing Shan finished scolding her, he took a deep breath and sat down beside Zhao Yan Ran's bed, holding her hand and saying: "Yan Ran, it hurts a lot, doesn't it?"

  Zhao Yanran's tears flowed with his words, her pitiful appearance having suffered so much torture, making Zhao Qingshan feel distressed and at a loss.

  "Does taking painkillers work?"

  "Don't cry anymore, Grandpa's heart is almost broken from your crying."

  "It's just as well that you're taking this opportunity to rest for a few days. Look at how thin you've become, even your hands are all skin and bones now."

  "Grandpa——" Zhao Yanran choked with sobs, the humiliation and grievances she had suffered all night finally found a vent in his arms.

  "Grandpa, you have to let Yanran make the decision. Tonight, when Song Da Ge saw the performance and met me, he invited me to dinner together. I was thinking that San Shu's store just opened, so I wanted to bring him to try it out and help pull in some customers;

  They chatted happily and had a few drinks, he got drunk, his phone was out of power, I thought that getting drunk could be either a big or small matter, moving back and forth fearing something would happen to him, so I didn't notify his duty soldier to come help, and instead asked the service staff in the store to send him to the guest room upstairs.

  Those people roughly threw him onto the bed and left, I was worried that he would vomit or feel thirsty in the middle of the night, so I delayed for a while in the room, gave him a cup of water and a spittoon, and just as I was about to open the door to go home, a woman fiercely knocked on the door and asked me to open it.

  I opened the door and took a look, I didn't recognize her, but she asked me to call Song Shuyu out to talk to her.

  He's drunk to such an extent, how can I possibly wake him up?

  She went crazy and kicked the door, knocking it off its hinges, chasing me and beating me until I was in this state. She then took a dagger to go inside and find Song Da Ge, I grabbed her leg to stop her, she held the dagger against my neck standing outside the door, threatening Song Shu Yu to come out.

  Then the security guard in the store came, and my second brother also arrived. He knew that woman, not only did he not help me catch her, but when I picked up a dagger to fight back, he reminded her and she almost trampled me to death by stepping on my neck again.

  Grandfather, everyone suspected me of trying to seduce Song Da Ge with the excuse of being drunk, I was so wronged that I wanted to jump off the building and die to prove my innocence;

  "Woe is me! A girl's reputation is everything. This fuss will make me suffer a bit, but if it gets out, how can I show my face in public?"

  Zhao Yanran cried and said, making Zhao Qingshan so angry that he was fuming.

  Zhao Gan Kun stared at Zhao Yan Ran without blinking, as if he didn't recognize her. He hadn't seen what happened earlier with his own eyes, but it was absolutely impossible for things to have gone down the way she said they did.

  Although Shang Hong was young, she was steady and serious in her actions. Otherwise, he wouldn't have let her leave like that. With his instincts, he knew that Zhao Yanran must have started the trouble first, which would have led to Shang Hong's final outburst.

  But where is the evidence?

  Zhao and Feng immediately found the tail of the story, adding oil and vinegar: "The people who eat in the store are all big shots in the city, and many acquaintances may be listening to the excitement. If we let Yanran suffer in vain like this, not to mention her face as a young girl, even us old folks will lose face."

  Zhao Qing Shan waved his hand and shut him up.

  He patted his granddaughter's hand and comforted her with a heavy heart: "You take good care of yourself here, Grandpa will get justice for you, don't worry, little one."

  "Thank you, Grandpa. It's not my fault that I'm so useless and made you worry so late at night. Third Uncle, Second Brother, there are nurses here to take care of me, you all go back home now. I'm tired, let me rest."

  Zhao Yanran's tears were gone as soon as she said they were, and she looked up at her grandfather with a grateful expression, being clever and sensible like a little cotton-padded jacket that sticks to one's heart.

  "Alright, let's go see a doctor and come back tomorrow."

  Zhao Qing Shan didn't stay for long either. The injured person was still lying alone, recuperating, and they were chattering on and on here, affecting her rest.

  Zhao and Feng hastily stretched out his hand to hold his arm: "Dad, I know you're still vigorous in old age and don't need support, but it's dark outside, isn't it? It's safer for me to hold on to you."

  Zhao Qing Shan didn't say anything else, stretched out his arm to let him support him, and walked while sighing: "Alas, no matter how strong I am, this old body can't hold on anymore. Not accepting my age is not going to work. Seeing the darkening sky, my legs are numb and can't be lifted."

  "Third Uncle, you see Grandfather back home, I'll leave a bit later." Zhao Gan-kun bowed and escorted them to the door.

  Zhao Qing Shan did not nod, he could only close the door and follow him out.

  Zhao Qingshan walked a few steps in the corridor and asked Zhao Ganqun: "Is what Yanran said true?"

  "I didn't see what happened earlier, so I don't have the right to speak. When I arrived, the security guard was standing there, and that woman was holding a dagger against her throat. I knocked the dagger out of her hand."

  However, Yanran picked up a dagger and launched a sneak attack from behind. That's a knife that can take someone's life in an instant. I just reminded her, and the person turned around and took care of her. She was beaten, and I didn't feel good about it either. But the truth requires both parties to have the right to speak.

  However, no matter what, it was inexcusable for the woman to physically hit her.

  "I know that woman, she's not a fool, but also not someone to be trifled with. I reckon she's the girlfriend Song Shuyu has his eye on. A man as dedicated as he is, yet he does nothing and accompanies her for over ten days in boot camp. You handle this matter, that's all I can say."

  "Go on, go talk to her, don't let that little girl get sick from anger."

  Zhao Gan Kun responded with a sound, turned around and walked back to the room, directly walking to Zhao Yan Ran's side, saying helplessly: "This matter has only just blown up, if Song Shu Yun insists on protecting Sang Hong, what kind of result do you think this trick will achieve?"

  Zhao Yanran suddenly opened her eyes from her fake sleep, and said with an unreadable expression:

  "Second brother, does that mean I got beaten up for nothing?"

  You don't support me, that's fine, but Grandpa supports me, what do you mean by saying this?

  What's wrong with me?

  I just said that for your ears, you think of me like that, believing I can drug Song Shuyu for my own benefit, incite younger brothers to undermine his foundation, and disregard the face of our family. In your eyes, I'm a shameless, stupid loser!

  It's written all over your face!

  The truth is not what you think it is, what I say is the real truth!

  Since I was a kid, I've always been the one bullying others, when has anyone ever bullied me?

  Is that a slap in the face?

  I've lived up to now, who dares to give me a look, must weigh their own weight, dare to slap my face for no reason, this tone I swallow can't go down.

  When beating a dog, one must consider its master; I am your sister, and she dares to treat me like that in front of you, don't you feel disrespected?

  "What kind of hallucinogenic drug did this woman give you two to eat, why do you and Yibo both think she's a good person? I'm just a punching bag who deserves to be beaten?"

  Zhao Qiankun looked at her with a calm face, watching as her angry expression distorted, closed his eyes to calm himself down, and finally spoke up:

  "You're so spoiled by your family, just now looking at you crying to Grandpa, I felt like I was watching an actress performing, a selfish and ugly girl who toys with relationships. Why doesn't Song Shuyu like you? Maybe it's because you treat life as a play, making him unable to see your true nature."

  "You left, you stayed behind, it wasn't for caring about me, but to coax me into completing the friendship between you and Song Shuyu."

  Zhao Yanran was so angry that her eyes were blazing with fury.

  "You - okay, whatever you think;

  After all, you are my sister, I remind you that the surveillance network in San Shu's store was installed by someone under Song's command. For your safety, there is a pinhole camera hidden behind the decorative painting opposite the door in your guest room, which can only monitor the personnel entering and leaving your room. If you want to do something secretly, be quick about it. If Song Shuyu finds out about this, the first thing he will do is to get that information.

  "You just mind your own business!"

  Zhao Gan said these words, feeling that the barrier between the siblings, which had never existed before, began to grow little by little. The clear-eyed girl who used to follow him with a pure and beautiful gaze in her youth was now lost in the mist of time.

  Zhao Yanran's face turned red and then white, white and then red again. She stared at Zhao Gan with her mouth agape as he really did turn around and leave, the door closing softly behind him.

  This time her tears were really going to flow out of her eye sockets, he knew her too well, so well that it made her feel fearful.

  She said something that even made her second brother, who was the best to her, leave in anger. Although she hurt him with her words, he still treated her as his own flesh and blood, pointing out the hidden dangers in her mistakes and helping her make excuses.

  What a difficult thing it must be for that dignified and serious person.

  Was she wrong?

  She rang the bell and had the nurse move the phone in the room next to her, waving her hand for that person to leave.

  She lay down patiently with her eyes closed, resting and calming her mind, so that she could make up her mind what to do.

  She was really too tired, and when she woke up it was already past 11 o'clock at night.

  She picked up the receiver and dialed Zhao He Feng's mobile phone, telling him that tonight's loss in the store would be directly deducted from her year-end dividend, dispelling the worries of that small-minded man, before asking about his grandfather's attitude.

  Zhao and Feng ate the sweet head, and their words were not so arrogant. They said calmly: "Don't worry, your grandfather has already asked me to collect all the materials of your injury for you, I guess he wants to talk to the Song family about it."

  "Why not find that girl directly and give her a good scare? What's the point of finding Song's family? At most, she'll just apologize to me, but it won't be satisfying."

  Zhao Yanran snorted and gave a cold laugh.

  "Oh? You're right too. In that case, shouldn't Song Shuyu have come to us first to talk things over? Haha, this move is great, turning a passive situation into an active one."

  "Uh, Second Brother said that there's a camera on the decorative painting opposite my room door. Go to the monitoring room and check it out, try to modify those unfavorable scenes for me. Wait for Song Shuyu to investigate and confirm that woman's crime."

  Zhaoyanran's thoughts were rigorous, and she hated Sanghong to death, so she naturally thought of a way to prevent Sanghong from turning over.

  "Alright, I'll go take care of this. Conveniently, I have a friend at the Public Security Bureau, so I'll just get them to arrest her and put her in jail, ruining her reputation and making it impossible for her to attend university."

  Zhao He immediately went along with his niece's words to amuse her.

  "Hey, don't make demands directly, just say that girl is so confident in her own abilities, she's always looked down on the police. It's only natural for young and vigorous people to go find her and have some fun, best if they can play her to the point where she has no face to see Song Shuyu."

  Zhao Yanran's words were laced with venom, and even Zhao Hefeng felt a little stunned at first, but soon relaxed. Anyone who is beaten up for no reason would not easily let go of their opponent.

  The two of them immediately discussed the details again, and Zhao Yueran hung up the phone, only then did she thoroughly relax.

  Xiang Hong couldn't sleep well all night and felt a little annoyed for some reason. Her sixth sense had always been very accurate.

  She thought and thought, the reason for her annoyance was all on Song Shuyu's body. He slept soundly, but she suffered, constantly guessing what kind of medicine Zhao Yanran gave him, what harm it would do to his body, whether he would overdose and sleep like that without waking up... and other strange worries.

  She finally fell asleep, but had a terrifying dream. In the dream, Zhao Yanran was severely scolded by Song Shuyu, and she apologized to her with a gloomy face. Not only did he not ask her to pay for medical expenses, but also gave her many gifts. When she smiled, the gifts in Zhao Yanran's hands seemed to have magic, flying around wildly, burying her instantly.

  She woke up from her fright, sweating profusely as she thought about the bizarre dream. She picked up her phone beside her pillow and saw that it was already past 2 am.

  It was actually a dream I had in the second half of the night!

  Dreams in the second half of the night are all opposite!

  Was Zhao Yanran going to come looking for trouble again?

  She shook her head, feeling that if even a mistress could be so self-righteous, then what's the point of living in this world!

  Her brain was excited, and it wasn't until near dawn that she had the urge to sleep again. When she woke up, everyone in the dormitory had already gone to the training room. She patted her somewhat heavy head, got out of bed, ate a little of the warm breakfast Lili had brought for her, and then hastily applied medicine to the remaining color on her face before rushing to the training room.

  Just as I entered the entrance of their department, there was a police car sound coming from behind, strangely, the police car actually drove into the campus of the military academy.

  She curiously avoided her body and let the car stop in front of her, not far away. Ouyang Mengmeng pointed at Sang Hong inside the car and said: "Here is the Sang Hong you want to find out about."

  As he spoke, he got out of the car and said: "Sang Hong, classmate, please wait a minute. These police officers want to ask you some questions about something."

  "Rustle rustle", four policemen jumped out of the police car one after another, standing in all directions to block San Hong's escape route.

  "Excuse me, are you Shang Hong from Class 1 of the Foreign Language Department?" a policeman asked seriously.

  Xiang Hong glanced at those people with a gloomy face, nodded involuntarily, and couldn't understand what she had done to make the police come to her door.

  The leading policeman took out an arrest warrant from his pocket and showed it to her, saying: "Sang Hong, someone has reported you to the police station for intentional injury. Please come with us to verify the situation."

  Xiang Hong's heart skipped a beat, this is actually the gift Zhao Yanran gave me?

  "Please wait a minute, okay? I need to go to class and give something to my classmates, just five minutes."

  Xiang Hongke wiped away the timid look on his face and tried hard to think of how to convey this matter to Song Shuyu.

  She was afraid of the police, all because of the negative influence her father had brought to her since she was a child. He would take her to casinos every day, and at that time, the crackdown on gambling was very strict. If they were not careful, they would often be caught by the police, so whenever Sang Hong saw the police, she would instinctively feel some fear.

  "No, is there anything you'd like to send or any messages that need to be conveyed? This student can take care of it for you," the police officer said in a matter-of-fact tone.

  "Relay? What does that mean? Are you saying that I followed you all the way here, and now you don't plan on letting me return?" Xiang Hong was shocked, she was best at guessing people's thoughts from their tone of voice.

  "Heh heh, it's not necessarily like that. Every citizen should have the obligation to cooperate with the public security organs in solving cases. Please cooperate." The police officer didn't expect her to turn the question back on him and was momentarily stunned, then laughed awkwardly.

  "May I make a phone call?"

  "No way, from the moment you were identified as a suspect of crime, all rights to contact with the outside world will be controlled."

  The police then asked her to hand over her mobile phone.

  Xiang Hong was so frightened by what she heard that her phone slipped from her hand and fell to the ground.

  The police officer couldn't help but laugh, this was the arrogant female soldier that Zhao San Shao had mentioned. Seeing a police officer could scare her into such a state, he immediately squatted down to pick up the phone and see who she wanted to call.
