Back to the Past: The Rise of the False Heiress Marrying the True Tycoon-Chapter 1219: Chen Xi Was Beaten
Chapter 1219: Chen Xi Was Beaten
Su Shen was practically dragged out of the house by his two sons. With every step, he turned back twice, utterly unwilling to part from his wife. ๐๐๐๐๐ฐ๐ฒ๐ฏ๐ป๐๐๐๐น.๐๐จ๐
But Su Li, blissfully oblivious, had no idea he was crashing his parentsโ alone time. At the moment, his entire world revolved around one thingโriding on that motorbike. The sheer excitement had his grin stretched from ear to ear, and as soon as they left the gate, he sprinted next door to call Gao Ming out to join the fun.
The motorbike was Su Shenโs newest indulgence. In times like these, owning a motorbike was still the most practical choice, so heโd just bought anotherโthis one a sleek red-and-white number that looked straight out of a vintage action film. He hadnโt ridden one in years, but riding a bike was like ridingโฆ well, a bike. No big deal for him.
With the three kids securely strapped in, he roared off into the streets, off on a joyride through the breeze.
Back inside, Gu Zi heard the engine fade into the distance and knew the coast was clearโthey were finally far enough away. She turned to coax little Su Le into a nap. But just as she stood up, the phone rang.
She walked over and answered. On the other end came Sun Yiโs voice, tight with worry.
โGu Zi, somethingโs happened to our Chen Xi,โ she said, breathless. โHe was attacked outside the school and is still in the hospital, unconscious. Thank God it didnโt hit any vital organs.โ
Gu Zi froze. Sun Yi continued in a rush, โThe people who hit him havenโt been found yet. Chen Yuโs furiousโheโs already sent men out to search. The attackers claimed it was over a loan. Apparently, Chen Xiโs girlfriend borrowed money from a loan shark and used him as the guarantor. The payment deadline passed, and when she didnโt pay up, they came after him. Gu Zi, do you know anything about this? Is Chen Xi dating anyone? Who is she? What kind of girl takes out a loan from thugs?โ
Gu Zi listened intently, her mind working quickly. โAs far as I know, Chen Xi isnโt in a relationship. But I do recall a girlโTang Xue. Sheโs in our class. I heard she and Chen Xi went to the same high school, and there were always rumors about the two of them. I remember she once asked him for money, and he refused. My guess? Heโs just collateral damage in all this. Sun Yi, have you reported it to the police? You should. Donโt waste time.โ
To Gu Zi, it all seemed painfully unfair. She had once thought Tang Xue might be a decent match for Chen Xiโopen, honest, seemingly thoughtful. Even when his feelings faded, he had remained respectful, never humiliating her. And yet, sheโd turned out to be nothing short of a disaster. This wasnโt a romanceโit was a full-blown tragedy, more rotten fruit than love story.
Sun Yi let out a relieved sigh. โThatโs what I needed to hear. I was worried heโd been bewitched into helping her borrow money. I know what to do now.โ
The moment she hung up, Sun Yi turned to her assistant and said sharply, โGo tell my husband: Chen Xi was dragged into this. No need to worry anymoreโjust report it to the police, straightaway.โ
Almost on cue, Chen Xi began to stir in his hospital bed. As his eyes fluttered open, Sun Yi rushed to his side.
โFinally!โ she said, her face softening as she adjusted his pillow. โHow are you feeling?โ
Chen Xi winced as he pushed himself up, his body aching all over. His left arm was limpโclearly fracturedโand he could only support himself with the other.
โI feel like I got hit by a truck,โ he muttered. โBut, donโt worry, I didnโt go down without a fight. I landed a solid kick on that bastardโs crotch. Dropped him on the spot.โ
Sun Yi raised an eyebrow, unimpressed. โOh really? If you were that capable, why are you lying here like a ragdoll? Now spill. What exactly happened?โ
Chen Xi scratched the back of his head sheepishly. โI did winโkind of. Itโs justโฆ there were three of them. One against three? No way I wasnโt gonna take a beating. And about all thisโit started with a classmate. She got herself into trouble with some underground loan sharks, borrowed a huge sum, and made me the guarantor. Said I was her boyfriend and owed them thirty thousand yuanโprincipal plus interest.โ
โSheโs not my girlfriend,โ he stressed. โI didnโt even know she used my name. So of course I refused to pay. Then they stole my motorbike and knocked me out cold. Please tell my brother to call the cops. That bike is expensive. I need it back.โ
But it wasnโt just expensiveโit was customized, a labor of love. Every inch of it had been upgraded to perfection, and there was no way Chen Xi was letting a bunch of thugs ride off into the sunset with his prized possession.
Sun Yi didnโt even try to hide her irritation. She reached out and gave him a none-too-gentle knock on the head.
โLook at youโbeaten half to death, and youโre still worried about your motorbike? Weโre definitely reporting this. And that Tang Xue is insane. Who borrows from loan sharks and drags a Chen family member down with her? Absolute lunatic.โ
When she mentioned Tang Xueโs name, something shifted in Chen Xiโs face. It contorted into disgust.
He hated her now. Really hated her.
How had she become like this? Taking out shady loans, dragging innocent people into her mess. She had made it into a top universityโhow could she be so stupid?
He could still remember the moment theyโd seized his bike. Heโd nearly burst a vein. If he could have gotten his hands on Tang Xue right then, he wouldโve torn her apart, piece by piece.
Meanwhile, over at the Chen family estate, Chen Yuโhaving received the full story from his wifeโwasted no time. He contacted the authorities immediately.
What happened next was swift and surgical: with police cooperation, Chen Yu led a raid that took down the entire illegal loan shark ring behind the assault.
To the police, he made one final request. โThis all started because of a girl named Tang Xue,โ he said coolly. โSheโs been selling counterfeit products for profit. I hope the law can hold her accountable.โ
