The Taming of the Ruffian Hero

Chapter 214 (Chen Tianjiao Runs out of the Airport) Chen Tianjiao Can’t Give up His Son and Finally Surrenders

As soon as Zhao Yuan went out, Chen Yuanxi fell heavily on the ground.

“Wenxi...” Gu Xi asked in a hoarse voice.

“I’m fine. I’m just too tired,” Chen Yuanxi said with a smile.

He was busy and could not leave. He could not leave Gu Xi until Zheng Kai pulled through.

“Zhu Hui’s family knew that we had investigated her and had been making trouble. At last, we could only tell them the information about Zhu Hui.” The man told Chen Yuanxi by phone.

Chen Yuanxi could not get in touch with Zhao Yuan.

Chen Yuanxi looked at Gu Xi’s sleeping appearance. After the bandage was removed, it itched and hurt. But Gu Xi did not say a word or even open his eyes. No one knew what Gu Xi had experienced in these years, but he was no longer the child who cried when he was in pain.

It is said that suffering makes people strong, but Chen Yuanxi would rather Gu Xi was still a young and innocent youth.

“Where’s A Yuan?” asked Gu Xi.

“He has something to do and went home. Have a good rest, Gu Xi,” said Chen Yuanxi.

“Wenxi, I was willing. You need to tell it to Brother Kai. I find he’s lost a lot of weight...”

Chen Yuanxi knew that Zheng Kai was the most painful and what he could not bear was that this matter might have been done by Chen Wanxin, even though she finally stopped. But Gu Xi did not need to know all this.

He also did not need to know that today was Chen Yuanxi’s twenty-sixth birthday, which Chen Yuanxi also might have forgotten. And today was also the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, the Chinese Valentine’s day.

Chen Yuanxi was lying on his back in the hospital corridor.

In the distance of the sky, a bright and big star was hanging high in the sky alone. All other stars, because of the aggressive moonlight, had hidden into the sky, and only it still shone in the sky. Hanging in the dark sky, it overlooked the earth, mountains and rivers alone. It seemed to be whispering with Chen Yuanxi.

Only he could understand.

He seemed to go back to one night, when one held the torch and the other played the flute.

If only time had stopped at that time.

The evening wind blew on Chen Yuanxi’s face, and the night scenery was beautiful. But the news Chen Yuanxi heard disturbed the peace in the midsummer.

Chen Tianjiao and Deng Yifei had been released on bail, and they were trying to get out of the country by some means with their family. Naturally, their family no longer included Chen Yuanxi.

Hong Xuan rushed to the hospital at night.

“Zheng Kai, no matter who you are sorry for, and no matter what you think, I have to leave now! I’ll hand Gu Xi to you! I have paid all the medical expenses in advance, and you needn’t worry about it. When I come back, I hope Gu Xi is healthy and energetic. And... the same to you.”

Chen Yuanxi said to Zheng Kai, who was sitting among the cigarette butts on the ground, and left with Hong Xuan.

A hotel, the hideout of Hong Xuan and Zhang Dong.

The three kept silent at the same time. One had worked hard for more than seven years, and one, in order to join the Mo Family, had lost his conscience. However, this news meant that the final result they would get was the escape of Chen Tianjiao and his family and his possible comeback in the future.

Chen Yuanxi closed his eyes and thought.

Frankly speaking, Chen Tianjiao was good to him these years. Except for his suspicion and scruples all the time, he had given everything he could.

Chen Yuanxi remembered that Chen Tianjiao, who was used to being well-off, actually brought a large bag of special products from Yangzi county in person when he first visited Chen Yuanxi. Among them, there were several handmade products, whose taste was very similar to that of the food made by his mother. He knew that Chen Tianjiao must have requested his mother’s family to make them. Maybe it was her sister, his aunt, Huang Biya, or her niece who made them. At that time, Chen Tianjiao was like a very ordinary father, visiting his son who was far away from home.

During the second visit to the United States, Chen Tianjiao took Chen Yuanxi to Disneyland. Chen Yuanxi, in his twenties, and Chen Tianjiao played together in the children’s park happily. He enjoyed the freedom and happiness that he had lost after leaving Zhao Yuan when he was a child.

When he visited Chen Yuanxi for the third time, Chen Tianjiao transferred part of his business in the United States to Chen Yuanxi, and found many trainers for him. The professional and patient explanations from those trainers made Chen Yuanxi’s abilities develop rapidly.

During the fourth visit, Chen Tianjiao transferred all his business in America to Chen Yuanxi. By the way, he brought several photos of famous ladies and asked Chen Yuanxi which one he liked.

The fifth visit happened on the Mid-autumn Festival. Chen Tianjiao had edited a photo, making Chen Yuanxi, Huang Xiya, and himself together. After finishing it, he sealed it and solemnly handed it to Chen Yuanxi. On the photo, the three smiled happily and looked like family. The sixth visit... the seventh visit...

Chen Yuanxi remembered all this, but he deliberately forgot them.

Chen Yuanxi had slept for a whole day. After getting up, he rubbed his red eyes and asked Zhang Dong to tie him up, and Hong Xuan to hold a knife around his neck.

“Is it effective for you to threaten him with this?” Hong Xuan was unwilling to do that and asked.

“I have only this last resort. Either to do it or to admit defeat!” shouted Chen Yuanxi.

Hong Xuan and Zhang Dong looked at each other and started to work.

At first, Chen Yuanxi asked Zhang Dong to slap him, but Zhang Dong could not do it. Chen Yuanxi scolded him, “You’re girly! Let uncle Hong Xuan do it!”

Zhang Dong videoed, while Hong Xuan began to beat Chen Yuanxi cruelly.

In the video, Chen Yuanxi’s face was covered with blood because of being beaten, and he pitifully looked at the camera. Then, Hong Xuan held a sharp knife against Chen Yuanxi’s neck, making his neck bleed.

“Scratch it deeper!” Chen Yuanxi twisted his head and angrily shouted in a low voice.

“It’s dangerous... No!” Zhang Dong could not help saying.

If Zhang Dong’s sound was recorded in the video, they had to start again if the video would not be edited.

Hong Xuan hinted that they could continue. He would edit the video.

“Get out of here!” Chen Yuanxi shouted, staring at Zhang Dong angrily. Until now Zhang Dong knew that Chen Yuanxi’s hatred was quite more than what he knew. Did he only hated Chen Tianjiao, or as well as himself?

Hong Xuan’s dagger was held against Chen Yuanxi’s neck. Then he cruelly and accurately cut Chen Yuanxi’s neck with his very fierce strength. The wound was close to the main artery of his neck, and the blood flowed. Chen Yuanxi was in tears in the video.

Hong Xuan then held the dagger against Chen Yuanxi’s eyes and said rudely to the video, “Chen Tianjiao, if you don’t turn yourself in, I will dismember your son and cook for you in three days! I, He Fu, definitely mean it!” After that, the video recording was completed.

Chen Yuanxi’s face was pale. Zhang Dong hurried to help Chen Yuanxi stop bleeding, but was interrupted rudely by Chen Yuanxi.

Zhang Dong was very angry. He turned around and stared at Hong Xuan fiercely. Then he walked towards him step by step, and the two quickly fought with each other.

Zhang Dong was obviously quicker than Hong Xuan. Besides, he was younger than Hong Xuan, so Hong Xuan was forced to step back. Although Hong Xuan was more ruthless and accurate than Zhang Dong, he dared not use weapons. After a while, he had been heavily punched by Zhang Dong several times. The last punch made him groan and fall to the ground with his stomach covered. Chen Yuanxi could not help him. He kept asking them to stop, but neither of them listened to him.

“Zhang Dong, if you think I won’t die with the wound, you can continue to fight with him and leave me alone,” Chen Yuanxi said as he ripped off the gauze on his neck.

Hearing that, Zhang Dong stopped and hurried to Chen Yuanxi and once again carefully helped Chen Yuanxi cure the wound and apologized constantly.

Chen Yuanxi stayed still, letting Zhang Dong to clean his wound again.

Zhang Dong was very gentle. He wiped the edge of the wound and tried his best to avoid the disinfectant fluid from touching Chen Yuanxi’s wound.

Such gentle caress, as if the breeze blowing through the fingers, or like the whispers of lovers, intoxicated Chen Yuanxi and made him sleepy. But he did not want to sleep. He enjoyed the gentle touch, which entered into his heart. Zhang Dong carefully put liquid medicine on the wound and bandaged for him. Each step was so careful and slow, as if time had been extended infinitely. During such a long time, the sun was warm and the air was fresh. Chen Yuanxi looked up with a smile and wanted to say thanks. Suddenly, he felt that something had fallen into his eyes and slipped from the corner of his eyes. He saw tears in Zhang Dong’s eyes.

Chen Yuanxi saw Zhang Dong’s tears for the first time. The tears, full of pain, fell on Chen Yuanxi’s pale cheek and turned into a river. The boiling river was surging on his face. Chen Yuanxi hugged Zhang Dong’s head and pressed his cheek against Zhang Dong’s slowly.

Zhang Dong lay in Chen Yuanxi’s arms and sobbed.

“Tell me everything about you,” said Zhang Dong.

Chen Yuanxi was silent, because he saw Hong Xuan’s angry and puzzled look. He suddenly remembered that Hong Xuan did not know anything about Zhang Dong and him.

Hong Xuan was going to broadcast the video, and asked Chen Yuanxi to keep in touch with the people in Beijing. At the same time, he told Zhang Dong to send Chen Yuanxi to the hospital first. Such a wound was dangerous if Chen Yuanxi did not go to the hospital, but Chen Yuanxi refused.

“He’s too cruel,” said Zhang Dong.

“So you can’t do it,” said Chen Yuanxi.

Chen Yuanxi briefly talked with Zhang Dong about all the causes and consequences, and his tone was very gentle and quiet. He remembered Zhang Dong’s arms were very warm on that day. He remembered that when Zhang Dong fed him water and meal, the tenderness in his eyes could melt the glacier. He remembered that Zhang Dong had been patting himself gently to coax him to sleep. In those days, Chen Yuanxi was helpless. He was like an infant with adult mind and memory, while Zhang Dong expressed his love by actions, so that he felt wonderful and slightly embarrassed, but he enjoyed it very much.

Chen Tianjiao surrendered.

When Chen Tianjiao saw the video, he was about to board the plane. He ran out from the gate as he shouted that he would surrender all the way. Deng Yifei pulled him and knelt to beg him not to leave. She cried heartily, “You are going to die!” But nothing could stop him. Deng Yifei also got off the plane, although she could leave alone. What was waiting for her was the final verdict. Until now, the dying Chen Yuanxi was sent to the hospital where Gu Xi was receiving treatment.

There was another piece of news that shocked the whole town at the same time.

Listening to his father’s voice, Zheng Kai almost thought that his father Zheng Zihuan had not died. But he soon knew it was a recording.

It was a recording that had been magnified several times.

The final agreement between Chen Wanxin and Luo Yang was that if Zhao Yuan was willing to marry Chen Wanxin, Chen Wanxin did not need to leave with Luo Yang, but if Zhao Yuan did not want to, Chen Wanxin had to fulfill her promise.

When the police received an alarm call and came to make the preliminary investigation about the incident in the funeral parlor, they watched the video of the funeral parlor and confirmed that Zheng Zihuan had committed suicide by jumping off a building. That video had been kept in the police station as a case file.

This video was finally edited and played.

“Old Zhao said that Miss Wanxin is very sensible. If Miss Wanxin is willing, he hopes you can marry her.”

This sentence was played again and again, which scratched in Zheng Kai’s heart like a sharp knife.

The following was Chen Wanxin’s voice, “Zhao Yuan, I would like to, do you still want to?”
