His gaze was like a sharp blade.
In an instant, Lin Rui felt as if he had been chopped into several pieces.
He scrambled backward, begging for mercy. “I was wrong, I really know I was wrong. I shouldn’t have hit Jin Yu…”
Before the word “Yu” could fully leave his mouth, Meng Jinyan’s fist exploded against his nose. The punch was swift, vicious, and precise. Immediately, Lin Rui’s nosebleed gushed out like a fountain, and the air was quickly filled with a metallic, fishy smell.
The scent of blood was overwhelmingly strong. Gu Feng covered his buttocks, his heart pounding with anxiety.
If this continued, he was genuinely afraid his boss would become a criminal case.
Recalling the instructions his aunt had given him from his very first day by Meng Jinyan’s side, he gritted his teeth and, once again, fearlessly stepped forward to intervene.
“Young Master Yan! They kidnapped someone in broad daylight; the law will punish them. Please, don’t hurt yourself!” This time, he used every ounce of his strength to wrap his arms around Meng Jinyan’s waist.
The man with the fierce, cold eyes struggled for a moment but couldn’t break free. The next second, a chilling, violent voice rang out.
“Gu Feng!”
“I’m here!”
“Let go!”
“…I won’t.”
Meng Jinyan closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
“You’re forcing me to beat you up too!”
Gu Feng trembled. “Young Master Yan, I’m on your side!”
Whether he was on his side or not, Meng Jinyan didn’t care. He only knew that anyone who dared to stop him from beating someone up deserved a beating themselves.
So, Gu Feng’s buttocks blossomed with pain once more.
Lin Rui had just lost a tooth, and now, as Meng Jinyan went berserk again, his arm was snapped with a sickening crack.
This time, he couldn’t even manage a scream.
He simply passed out cold.
With one person unconscious, the man’s dark, penetrating gaze fell upon Lin Hai. “Jin Yu is your own niece. Is this how you, as her uncle, allow these outsiders to bully her like that?”
Having just witnessed his son being beaten unconscious, Lin Hai was so terrified he nearly wet himself. His face was a mask of panic. “It’s a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding, Young Master Yan… I beg you, spare me…”
Boom— A loud crash.
Lin Hai was kicked and slammed against the wall.
Clutching his chest, he spat out a mouthful of blood.
Before him, a voice like death from hell rang out.
“Spare you? Then who will spare her?”
After knocking out Lin Rui, kicking Lin Hai unconscious, and slapping Zhang Ru and Lin Qianqian until their faces were swollen, Meng Jinyan’s gaze slowly locked onto the group of cowering, trembling medical staff hiding in the corners.
He never used to think of such people as wolves in sheep’s clothing, but today had certainly refreshed his perspective.
Hah. They say medical staff save lives and heal the wounded.
But did this group before him deserve that title?
With four people already lying there in unknown condition, Gu Feng was truly afraid a tragedy would occur. Despite his two previous attempts at persuasion ending in failure, this time, he mustered his courage and rushed forward to wrap his arms around the leg Meng Jinyan was about to kick out with. “Think twice, Young Master Yan!”
Meng Jinyan: “…”
While shouting, Gu Feng shot a glance at the driver. The next moment, the driver knelt with a thud, grabbing hold of Meng Jinyan’s other leg. “Please think twice, Young Master!”
With both legs held captive, Meng Jinyan couldn’t move. His pitch-black eyes swept over their faces with a sinister glare.
“Let go!”
Meeting his fierce and sinister gaze, despite being terrified to death, Gu Feng mustered the courage to persuade, “Young Master Yan, the police are almost here. The crimes committed by these medical staff will be dealt with impartially according to the law. It’s not worth ruining your health over these small fry…”
In fact, as Gu Feng spoke, the police had already arrived, but none of them dared to knock on the door.
After all, the person inside was the living King of Hell.
Who would dare provoke the King of Hell while he was handling matters?
Yet even with both legs held, it couldn’t stop Meng Jinyan from venting his rage.
With just a slight struggle, he broke free.
The moment Gu Feng was thrown aside, he could only watch helplessly as Meng Jinyan raised his hand and tightly gripped the fragile neck of the lead female doctor. Only when her face turned purple did he speak coldly.
“Do you feel like you’re about to die?”
“…”
“Are you very scared right now?”
“…”
Staring at the female doctor’s contorted face, Meng Jinyan sneered, “Being scared is right. That’s exactly how she felt when you injected her with drugs and laid her on the operating table…”
The female doctor struggled, “Let go… cough…”
Watching as the force in his hand increased, Gu Feng, slumped on the side, trembled with fear, his eyes involuntarily widening. He was now certain that Meng Jinyan had truly lost control.
If anything happened to Jin Yu, everyone present today would die.
He was already out of control.
Gu Feng didn’t dare to step forward and persuade him again, only whispering, “Young Master Yan, this will really lead to death…”
Before the word “person” could be uttered, a knock suddenly sounded at the door, followed by Gu Feng hearing his aunt’s voice.
“Young Master, the test results are out. The young madam is fine, and the baby is fine too. The Old Madam asks you to go see her immediately.”
Hearing this, Meng Jinyan’s hand loosened its grip.
The gloomy, sinister look in his eyes also regained a hint of clarity.
His Adam’s apple bobbed slightly as he suddenly let out a sigh of relief.
That woman was fine, and the baby was fine. Did that mean he had prevented the tragedy this time?
For Gu Feng, those few words were like a lifesaver. Immediately, he scrambled to Meng Jinyan’s side, “Young Master Yan, did you hear? The young madam is fine, the baby is fine. It was all a false alarm. After something like this, the young madam must be terrified. Let’s hurry and go see her.”
Meng Jinyan didn’t hear a single word Gu Feng said. He merely kicked the violently coughing female doctor in front of him with a cold expression, then left an order—
“Take everyone in this room to the police station. I want to know every detail of their crimes. Also, if anyone dares to leak even a hint of information about me and that woman having a child, they will bear the consequences!”
With that, he strode away.
Today’s incident made him more cautious.
Now that he and Jin Yu were married and she was pregnant with his child, if the ambitious members of the Meng family found out, similar incidents like today would be hard to prevent.
When Meng Jinyan arrived at the ward where Jin Yu was, the Old Madam gave him a look, signaling him to step outside.
Once the grandmother and grandson were outside, the Old Madam’s first words were, “A-Yan, what do you think about today’s incident?”
Meng Jinyan replied expressionlessly, “The Lin family cannot be allowed to stay.”
Old Madam: “…”
“Then what do you want to do?”
“Wipe them out completely.”
Hearing this, Old Madam rubbed her forehead, visibly angered. “You’re about to become a father now. Is it appropriate to say such things?”
Thinking of the Lin family’s despicable faces, Meng Jinyan’s aura turned icy, his tone indifferent.
“Quite appropriate.”
He even felt that skinning them alive and pulling out their tendons would be too lenient.
Having grown up under her care since childhood, Old Madam knew his temperament better than anyone. Precisely because she understood, she knew she couldn’t change his mind. She simply said:
“Now that you and Jin Yu have registered your marriage, she is your wife. As her husband, you must protect her. Incidents like today must never happen again.”
“Understood.”
Seeing him lower his gaze, lost in thought, Old Madam said no more, only gently patting his shoulder.
“Go in and see her. Although the baby was saved, there are still signs of a possible miscarriage. She needs to stay in the hospital for observation this week. To prevent any further incidents, you must stay by her side in the hospital these days.”
Hearing this, the man seemed somewhat reluctant. “Stay by her side?”
Old Madam shot him a stern look. “What else?”
Meng Jinyan thought of Jin Yu’s occasional seductive glances over the past two days and resisted. “The mole in the company hasn’t been caught yet, I…”
Before he could finish, he was interrupted.
Old Madam spoke with firm authority. “I’ll handle the company matters. You just focus on staying with your wife in the hospital.”
After saying this, she gave him no chance to refuse, rising to leave. But just as she was about to go, a steady voice came from behind.
“Grandmother, don’t let Fa Mingzhu know about her pregnancy.”
Fa Mingzhu was his stepmother.
A mistress who had taken her place.
It was her doing that caused his mother’s difficult childbirth back then.
Over the years, she had seen him as a thorn in her side. If she found out he had a child, she would surely stir up trouble again.
Hearing his words, Old Madam’s expression turned colder. “If she dares lay a finger on my great-grandchild, I’ll be the first to take her down with me!”
Watching Old Madam leave, Meng Jinyan entered the hospital room.
The woman on the bed was pale and lifeless. Half of her face was swollen from the slap Lin Rui had given her.
Seeing her like this, he couldn’t help but think of his mother.
To this day, he still remembered that night of his mother’s difficult childbirth—how heartlessly that man had slapped his mother and sneered that the child in her womb wasn’t his.
Thinking of this, his gaze softened slightly. As his slender fingers gently brushed her pale, delicate cheek, he murmured to himself, “Does it hurt?”
