Chapter 316 Fulfilling Vows, Avenging Wrongs

Sheng Jiang recalled what happened before he lost consciousness. The only thought in his mind when he pushed Huan Yuan away was: This is it for me in this life. But since he could see Sister Ni now, it meant he wasn't dead. Yet, what was the point of not being dead? His whole body ached terribly. Even if he wasn't dead, he must be badly injured. Seeing Sheng Jiang in this state, Song Ni felt both heartache and amusement. "You don't have any major problems." Hearing this, Sheng Jiang's eyes lit up. He struggled to get up, but his wounds hurt, causing him to yelp. Song Ni immediately pressed him down. "What are you doing flailing around? You're injured, it'll hurt like hell." Sheng Jiang was pressed back onto the bed by Song Ni, his brows furrowed in pain, unable to relax. "Sister Ni, I'm really not crippled." Song Ni nodded emphatically. "Really, as long as you rest well, it won't affect your future career." "Then why do I hurt so much? It hurts so much I thought my legs and arms were broken." Song Ni: ... Seeing that Sheng Jiang wasn't worried about his future career yet, a weight was lifted from her heart. She had underestimated Sheng Jiang. After all, despite his young age, he had been through a lot. "Of course it hurts. The car hit you like that, how could it not hurt? Your legs and arms are indeed broken." Sheng Jiang: ... The boy's expression immediately turned grim. "Sister Ni, didn't you say I'm not crippled? If my legs and arms are broken, isn't that considered crippled?" Song Ni felt Sheng Jiang was being foolish. "It's just a minor fracture. If you rest well afterwards, there will be no problems. If you don't want any lingering issues, you better remember not to move around for the next few months." Sheng Jiang breathed a sigh of relief, then his eyes widened again. "What about Huan Yuan? How is he?" Seeing Sheng Jiang's anxious look, Song Ni felt somewhat relieved. Not long ago, Sheng Jiang had been insecure because of Huan Yuan. She had thought there might be a rift between them, but it seemed not. Their relationship was so good that Sheng Jiang was willing to risk his life for him. Thinking this, Song Ni teased, "He's fine. I didn't expect you to care so much about Huan Yuan." Sheng Jiang realized what she meant and snorted proudly. "My relationship with him is terrible. I was just acting heroically. I couldn't just watch him get hit by a car, could I?" The doctor had already checked on Sheng Jiang and found no major issues. After informing Song Ni of the precautions, Song Ni replied once the doctor left. "Yes, saving someone and almost losing your own life. You are truly too kind." "..." Sheng Jiang shifted uncomfortably, then became angry. "What's wrong with Huan Yuan? I saved him, and he didn't even come to see me!" Song Ni glanced at him, her mood gradually lightening due to his cuteness. "He went to get revenge for you." Sheng Jiang blinked, not understanding Song Ni's meaning. Song Ni kindly explained, "Those people came to provoke you, to fight you, and then they drove their car at you. We're not pushovers, if we're bullied, we fight back!" As she spoke, Song Ni's expression darkened, and her eyes filled with sternness. "That makes sense. But he's going alone, in an unfamiliar place. Isn't he going to his own death?" "Brother Tan went with him too." To be precise, Tan Zheng was going to handle some business, and Huan Yuan followed him. Hearing this, Sheng Jiang immediately perked up. "Brother Tan is going to deal with them?" Song Ni glanced at him. "You don't need to worry about this. You just need to rest well." Sheng Jiang was unhappy. It was rare for him to have a chance to see Brother Tan fight, and if he couldn't go, he couldn't even get the latest news. That would be too unbearable! "Sister Ni, my dear Sister Ni, just tell me. I don't hurt and I'm not tired now." Song Ni remained resolutely firm in her refusal. "Didn't you hear what the doctor just said? Only by resting well will you recover quickly." "But..." "No 'buts'. I'm here taking care of you. How would I know what's happening there? If you want to know, you can ask tomorrow." Seeing that Song Ni wasn't trying to fool him, Sheng Jiang finally gave up. Although he claimed not to be in pain or tired, as soon as he closed his eyes, he fell asleep within minutes. Song Ni watched him sleep and quietly left the room. She called Tan Zheng, but there was no answer. As expected. ... Meanwhile, Tan Zheng and Huan Yuan went straight to the bar. After hitting someone, those people showed no remorse. Instead, they were partying and even bragged about it. Tan Zheng entered and scanned the room. "Is it them?" Huan Yuan nodded. Tan Zheng's eyebrows slightly lowered as he slowly rolled up his sleeves. "Anyone not involved, get out." The women who were lounging in the men's arms shivered at these words. Perhaps it was Tan Zheng's overwhelming aura, or perhaps it was the obvious intent to fight, but these women fled in a panic without a word. Drunk, with the scent of women, dazzling the eyes. "Who the hell are you?" That man was the most arrogant, and the main reason for the commotion that evening. He was the one who drove the car intending to hit Huan Yuan, but ended up injuring Sheng Jiang. Seeing him, Huan Yuan charged forward. The calmer and more composed a person appears, the more terrifying they are when they explode. Huan Yuan put all his strength into that punch. The man spat out a mouthful of blood and lost two teeth. His companions tried to help, but Tan Zheng stepped forward and blocked them. The man quickly glanced at Huan Yuan. His eyes were bloodshot, his brows fierce, and his punches landed harder with each blow. Tan Zheng allowed Huan Yuan to vent his anger while he dealt with the others. He was skilled in combat and had kept up his training for years. His physical condition was not inferior to that of young men, and he was far superior to those who were indulging in alcohol and women. Within a few moves, Tan Zheng had knocked down the others. Huan Yuan was still beating the man, not sure how many punches he had thrown. The man's face was covered in blood, making it impossible to recognize his original features. The bar manager and his staff rushed over. Tan Zheng's face was a recognizable brand in this area. The bar remained indifferent, and Tan Zheng let Huan Yuan have his way. Only when the man's resistance began to weaken, and when Huan Yuan had reached an extremely abnormal state, did Tan Zheng step forward and pull him away. Huan Yuan's face was flushed red, and the veins on his neck bulged, his energy depleted. Tan Zheng easily pulled him away. But Huan Yuan was unwilling to stop. Tan Zheng said indifferently, "Do you want to go to jail because of him?" "But..." Huan Yuan's words were strained, but Tan Zheng knew what he wanted to say. "The hospital called. He's fine."
