Villain Is Bodyguard of Heroine’s Poisonous Stepmother
Chapter 74: I Want Ye Chen to Die.

“How should we handle this situation, CEO?” Xiao Li asked Xiao Qingxue.

“Call an ambulance, and then report it to the police,” Xiao Qingxue replied indifferently.

Even if Luo Zixuan died, it was Ye Chen who had hit him. If the Luo family sought trouble, it would be with Ye Chen, not her. Xiao Qingxue’s attitude toward Ye Chen remained frosty, his return as her bodyguard was not her arrangement but her father’s forceful decision.

In recent days, Ye Chen had been subtly asking if Chen Luo had done something to her, which only served to make Xiao Qingxue colder toward him.

Xiao Li glanced at Ye Chen, then followed Xiao Qingxue’s instructions, first calling an ambulance and then the police.

“What do you mean by calling the police?” Ye Chen asked Xiao Qingxue, his face showing his displeasure. Sᴇaʀch* Thᴇ NʘvᴇlFɪre.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

Although he hadn’t used his full strength, and Luo Zixuan probably wouldn’t die from the kick, Luo Zixuan’s physical condition meant his injuries wouldn’t be light. If the police were involved, given the Luo family’s influence, it would be difficult for him to get out.

Xiao Qingxue continued her work, completely ignoring Ye Chen.

“You think you can run after injuring young master Luo?”

When Ye Chen tried to leave, the two bodyguards accompanying Luo Zixuan tried to stop him, but they were no match for Ye Chen. He knocked them down with a couple of punches, leaving them curled up on the ground, unable to get up.

“CEO, Ye Chen has run away, but Luo Zixuan is not dead yet, he’s still breathing,” Xiao Li carefully checked Luo Zixuan’s breathing and found that he was still alive, which greatly relieved her.

If Luo Zixuan had died, it would have brought major trouble to Yongqiang Group. Even though it was Ye Chen who inflicted the injury, the group couldn’t escape involvement.

Xiao Li wondered how the CEO remained so calm.

Xiao Qingxue picked up her phone and called her father, Xiao Yongqiang.

“Hello, what’s the matter?” he answered.

Normally, Xiao Qingxue wouldn’t call him unless there was a significant issue.

“Ye Chen severely injured Luo Zixuan and ran away,” she reported.

“What?” Xiao Yongqiang couldn’t maintain his composure. “How bad is the injury?” he asked.

“I don’t know, he’s still unconscious,” she replied.

Xiao Yongqiang was slightly out of breath, “First, send Luo Zixuan to the hospital and don’t let this news leak, or else things will get complicated. Although Luo Zixuan is not particularly outstanding, the Luo family values him highly. If something happens to him, the Luo family will definitely seek revenge, and our Yongqiang Group will be implicated.”

After hanging up the phone with Xiao Qingxue, Xiao Yongqiang immediately contacted Ye Chen.

“Ye Chen, you were the one who hit Luo Zixuan, right?” he asked, clearly angry.

He had previously had a good impression of Ye Chen, but now Ye Chen had brought him a lot of trouble.

“Chen Luo killed my people, and I couldn’t control my emotions, so I hit Luo Zixuan,” Ye Chen said after a moment of silence to Xiao Yongqiang.

Xiao Yongqiang felt like vomiting blood. Chen Luo had harmed Ye Chen’s people, so why didn’t Ye Chen confront Chen Luo instead of taking it out on Luo Zixuan? Was he just venting his anger on Luo Zixuan?

“How severe was your attack? Could it have been lethal to Luo Zixuan?” Xiao Yongqiang asked sternly.

If Luo Zixuan were to die, Xiao Yongqiang knew he wouldn’t be able to help Ye Chen, and even the Luo family would bring trouble to his doorstep.

“I held back. As long as he receives timely medical attention, he won’t die,” Ye Chen replied.

“I’ll handle this matter. I’ll inform you once it’s resolved,” Xiao Yongqiang stated.

“Thank you,” said Ye Chen.

At this point, he hadn’t firmly established himself in Magic City yet. Without connections, if Xiao Yongqiang didn’t help him, this matter would be difficult to resolve, and he might even be forced to leave the city. Despite his strength, Ye Chen knew that being physically capable wasn’t enough to secure a foothold in Magic City.

Xiao Yongqiang immediately rushed to Yongqiang Group to deal with the situation. The news of Ye Chen severely injuring Luo Zixuan reached Chen Luo after he returned, as both Yongqiang Group and Zhao Xingyuan’s people were aware of the significant incident. Zhao Xingyuan knowing also meant Chen Luo was informed.

“That Ye Chen really has guts, putting Luo Zixuan in the emergency room. He’s in big trouble this time,” Zhao Xingyuan said with a corner of her mouth lifted.

What pleased her most was that this incident would implicate the Yongqiang Group. The Luo family wouldn’t just let Ye Chen off the hook, Yongqiang Group would definitely pay a price too.

Although Zhao Xingyuan wanted to take full control of Yongqiang Group, the likelihood was slim. However, the collapse of Yongqiang Group would still benefit her, as she could tear off some flesh from this giant elephant and have her fill.

“If Luo Zixuan doesn’t survive this, things will get interesting. I wonder how Ye Chen will get through this,” Chen Luo mused, eagerly waiting for the drama to unfold.

The timing of Luo Zixuan’s injury was perfect. If Ye Chen hadn’t severely injured Luo Zixuan, he might have found time to seek revenge against Chen Luo. But now, how could he think about revenge when he was struggling to protect himself?

At the Magic Hospital, Luo Mingde’s eyes were filled with coldness. Apart from him, other members of the Luo family were present, each with different expressions.

“Xiao Yongqiang, tell me, where is Ye Chen?” Luo Mingde demanded, looking at Xiao Yongqiang.

The last time Luo Zixuan was hospitalized, Luo Mingde didn’t trouble Ye Chen partly because he wanted to give Xiao Yongqiang face and partly because he found Ye Chen somewhat mysterious. He also thought it might teach Luo Zixuan a lesson to change his ways, so he didn’t pursue Ye Chen further.

But this time, his son was in the emergency room, fighting for his life. How could he just let it go? If he did, the Luo family’s reputation in Magic City would be completely ruined.

“I don’t know where Ye Chen is, Luo Mingde. Please calm down. Once I find Ye Chen, I’ll personally make him come and apologize to you,” Xiao Yongqiang replied, trying to appease Luo Mingde despite his usual assertiveness.

“Do I need his apology?” Luo Mingde didn’t want Ye Chen’s apology, he wanted Ye Chen to pay the price.

“You’re not saying, huh? Do you think my Luo family can’t find Ye Chen’s whereabouts?” Luo Mingde questioned, his tone firm. “Also, let’s cancel any collaborations we have going forward. I’ll pay you the breach of contract penalty.”

There were quite a few collaborations between the Luo family and the Yongqiang Group. But now, as both parties were almost enemies, there was no point in continuing any collaboration.

Xiao Yongqiang’s face changed. Although the Luo family was initiating the termination of their partnership and there would be a penalty paid, the loss was not just about immediate gains.

With the collaboration dissolved and both families turning against each other, the Luo family might target the Yongqiang Group. Even though Xiao Yongqiang had skillfully developed Yongqiang Group into a behemoth and was known as the wealthiest man in Magic City, in comparison to the Luo family’s overall heritage and foundation, Yongqiang Group fell short. 

Especially in terms of connections and relationships, the Luo family’s network was something Yongqiang Group couldn’t match. Just a bit of trouble instigated by the Luo family would be enough for the Yongqiang Group to handle.

Luo Mingde was adamant in his decision, and Xiao Yongqiang knew that nothing he said would make a difference now. He could only hope that Luo Zixuan wasn’t seriously injured and that his wounds were treatable. As long as Luo Zixuan was alive and could recover, there was room for negotiation.

After six hours in the emergency room, Luo Zixuan was finally brought out.

“Doctor, how is my son?” Luo Mingde immediately asked the attending physician.

“The patient suffered a fractured rib which punctured his lung. After the emergency treatment, his life is no longer in danger.”

Hearing that there was no life-threatening danger, Luo Mingde sighed in relief. However, some members of the Luo family flashed a hint of disappointment in their eyes, clearly indicating internal discord within the family.

“Although the patient’s life is no longer in danger, he needs proper rest and recuperation. If not, there might be lingering health issues in the future.”

Subsequently, Luo Zixuan was transferred to the intensive care unit.

“Xiao Yongqiang, I won’t let this matter rest. I want Ye Chen dead,” Luo Mingde said coldly to Xiao Yongqiang.

Xiao Yongqiang sighed. Seeing Luo Mingde’s attitude, he knew that even though Luo Zixuan had been saved, it wouldn’t be easy to settle this matter.
