Because I Cannot Hurt You

Chapter 395 - Taking The Wrong Side

There was chaos in the Han villa when Zhiyuan and Xinyi returned. Xia Liqin cried as she asked, "How did this happen? How could the light just fall like that?"

Han Tian's eyes had visibly turned red in anger. "Who is this Huang Rong? How dare she do such a thing like this!?"

The mention of Huang made Zhiyuan clench his fist in rage. "A nobody. She is a nobody, yet she tried to hurt Xinyi. Guess I was too soft on her last time. This time, I will thoroughly make her understand what it means to mess with Han Zhiyuan," he quietly said.

Han Huizhong had also come out with the help of a maid. He looked frail but still a little better than last time. Since Xinyi and Xia Liqin forced him to eat his meals, his health was slowly improving.

He took a good look at Xinyi and seemed to sigh in relief. "Good. You are alright."

"But Zhiyuan is not. He got injured so badly…" Xinyi's eyes were still misty. "His eye barely managed to dodge…"

Han Huizhong glanced at Zhiyuan and waved his hand in dismissal. "He will be fine. What was his use if he couldn't have protected you? Him getting injured is better than you getting hurt."

Han Tian nodded.

Xinyi was speechless, and Zhiyuan only chuckled. "Grandpa is right."

Han Huizhong sat on the couch and tiredly said, "Sons are useless anyway. Cannot let anything happen to daughters-in-law, though."

"Grandpa…" Xinyi pursed her lips in dissatisfaction.

He snorted.

"Bro!"

Zizi came rushing, and as soon as she saw Zhiyuan's state, she burst into tears. "Bro…"

Yunru was behind her with a grim expression. They knew everything, and Yunru had frozen in terror, learning that Xinyi could have almost died. He hadn't revealed anything to Soo Enlai as he didn't want him to worry.

He was following Zizi and Feng Xiao when he received the call. He made some random excuse about his presence and quickly took Zizi away.

Zizi sniffled. "Bro, you should be in the hospital! Why are you here?"

Xinyi was tired with her puffy eyes. "I am tired of saying the same thing to him!"

Xia Liqin glared at Zhiyuan. "What am I hearing, Zhiyuan? Why are you being so uselessly stubborn?"

"..."

"I am not. I am really fine. There is no need for hospital admission," he sighed. "I wanted to confront Huang Rong immediately and not waste time getting treated in a hospital."

Zizi frowned. "Huang Rong? The one who-" she suddenly shut her lips and cleared her throat. She didn't want to bring the abortion topic again. "Why was she there?"

"She is Liao Yuan's assistant."

"Ah? When did this happen?"

"Apparently after her engagement broke off and when I ruined her company."

Zizi put two and two together. "...Revenge?"

"I have not gotten any evidence yet. But it will be soon."

Zizi fumed. "That woman…It was her fault in the first place. What right does she have to think about revenge!"

Yunru said, "I will take charge of investigating this matter," his expression was icy. "If somebody really dared to hurt my sister, then I am not letting this go either."

Xinyi said, "Alright. We will talk about this later. Zhiyuan needs rest now. You will get a headache if you don't stop thinking!"

She held his arm and dragged him up. Zhiyuan mumbled. "I am just worried about my wife."

"And I am worried about you. So you will do as I say!"

"Yes, Mam."

Everybody else retired to their rooms too. Outside the villa, Yunru offered her his handkerchief and patted her head. "Don't cry. I will find the culprit soon."

She nodded. "How could anybody be so cruel?"

Yunru had already messaged Feng Xiao to gather all the evidence and witness statements for the investigation. With Feng Xiao, he suddenly remembered this morning and Zizi's 'shopping date.'

It was a good thing that he got the call, or with the way he saw them laughing and shopping together as if they were such a lovey-dovey couple, Yunru was inches away from knocking the hell out of Feng Xiao.

He cleared his throat. "By the way...it was a surprise to see you with Feng Xiao."

Zizi stiffened. She coughed hard. "Is that so?"

"Yeah. I mean, I never knew you had become such…" he clenched his fist, "good friends."

Her brow incessantly twitched. She quickly waved her hand. "It was nothing. We just... just met by coincidence."

Yunru was speechless.

Princess is lying again! I saw him pick you up from my house just this morning!

"I was waiting for my friend and met him on the way. So...so, we just hang around for a while…" she averted her gaze.

Yunru grimaced. He felt a tightening in his chest.

Why is she lying? Why does she always lie for him…? What does she want to hide from me? Why does she always want to protect him?

The more he thought about this, the more frustrated he got.

"Well, that's fine, I guess...But I tell you, stay away from Feng Xiao."

"Huh? Why?"

Yunru coldly said, "He is not a nice man."

She furrowed her brows in confusion. "But he is a cop."

"Doesn't mean all cops are good. And I am not saying it in that sense. Feng Xiao...he is a womanizer!"

"..."

"Flirting is his second nature. He can never be serious with a woman. Whenever he sees a beautiful woman, it's like he locks on to his target. Who knows what he thinks about you? That's why you should be careful around him. Better that you don't meet him at all."

Zizi was dumbfounded. She seemed as if she was tallying something in her head. "Really? He doesn't seem like that."

"..."

"He is a nice guy. Funny and gentlemanly."

Princess is... Princess is defending him…???

At that point, he felt the volcano would erupt within him.

"Maybe you misunderstood him."

He gritted his teeth.

How do you know him so well to vouch for him like that!? How could you take his side? You are taking the wrong side. The wrong side!

Feng Xiaooooooooo....You are dead meat!!!

At his house, Feng Xiao sneezed. "*Achoo!*"

He rubbed his nose.

Why does it feel as if somebody is cursing me?
