Chapter 82: The wooden beauty of Young Master Sheng
Chapter 82: No Mercy
Lu Su stepped forward to block Jiang Chenchen, looking at Jiao Weiyun's manager, Wang Zhi. "You haven't figured out the situation, why call the police? If it weren't for Jiang Chenchen bringing him here, he wouldn't have received timely help!"
Wang Zhi, however, was unyielding. "Weiyun sent medicine through his assistant to Miss Jiang earlier in the evening. When he came back, he was in this state. Do you think it wasn't her? Would she rush him to the hospital if she wasn't responsible? The doctor said the head injury and the broken knee were intentional. Is there anything to argue about?"
Lu Su found all of this unbelievable, unwilling to accept it. She asked Jiang Chenchen, "Jiang Chenchen, tell me, did you do it intentionally, or was it an accident?"
Jiang Chenchen looked at the person on the bed, with his head and knee wrapped in bandages. "I did it."
"See, she admitted it herself!" Wang Zhi said angrily. "Such hatred to resort to such violence!"
Lu Su still couldn't believe it. "But... there must be a reason for you to do this, right? You wouldn't harm someone without cause!"
He speculated, looking more serious as he turned to Wang Zhi. "Why did Jiao Weiyun go to Jiang Chenchen's room so late? If she wasn't frightened, would she have attacked him like this?"
Wang Zhi raised an eyebrow. "What are you implying? Our artist is injured. Does he deserve it? Who knows what kind of shock she experienced? Maybe she fell on her head when she jumped into the pool!"
Lu Su was furious. "Your words are becoming more outrageous!"
"Whether they are outrageous or not, the police will judge," Wang Zhi retorted sarcastically. "Why? Are you defending her so much? Did you and her stage a play? Or are you afraid that Weiyun is in your way, so you incited Miss Jiang to harm him!?"
He continued provocatively, "Now you've got what you wanted. A major production is probably ruined, and you get to pick up the pieces."
Lu Su clenched his fist, turning purple with anger. He could endure anything, but he couldn't tolerate the slander against Jiang Chenchen's innocence.
Driven by anger, he threw a punch at Wang Zhi!
Lu Fang had paid the fees and reported to Gu Mingmei. When she returned, she witnessed this scene and screamed, "Ah! Don't fight!"
In this hospital with surveillance everywhere, causing trouble like this could lead to serious consequences!
This situation was different from what happened in Jiang Chenchen's room. If someone were to throw a punch here, they might end up detained. Now, as rising stars, this would undoubtedly be a severe blow.
Standing at a distance, she couldn't intervene and could only watch as the iron-like fist approached.
Wang Zhi was caught off guard, not expecting the sudden attack. He widened his eyes in surprise.
A gust of wind swept in.
The fist stopped right in front of him.
To be precise, it was intercepted by a delicate hand.
It was Jiang Chenchen!
She calmly stopped the punch, her fair arm bursting with strength, and the muscle lines tightened, indeed exerting some force.
Lu Su was fierce.
If Jiang Chenchen hadn't intervened, Wang Zhi's face would likely be swollen now.
He looked down at Jiang Chenchen, realizing that he had underestimated her. The hand gripping his wrist was powerful, and she unexpectedly possessed such strength. It was astonishing!
Fortunately, she was unharmed.
He quickly apologized and withdrew his hand. "My apologies."
Jiang Chenchen turned her wrist. "It's fine."
Wang Zhi stepped back, angered, "This isn't over! You can't just assault people like this!"
Lu Fang breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Jiang Chenchen stopped the punch; otherwise, the situation would be harder to control.
A star the company worked so hard to promote couldn't be ruined like this. It was absolutely unacceptable!
As a seasoned manager, she spoke diplomatically, putting on a sincere smile. "Wang Ge, please don't escalate the situation. We were all impulsive in the heat of the moment, but there was no malice. Let's not magnify the conflict and let the patient rest quietly. Can we keep the conversation to a minimum?"
"Don't think that by saying this, the matter will be settled," Wang Zhi retorted. With their artist in this condition and a high-budget film about to start shooting, there was little time left. A damaged face would mean the end of the project.
Could they easily let this go?
Can they be easily let off like this?
Jiang Chenchen could tell that they intended to promote their artist, and they wouldn't let go easily. With such a big company, if they didn't show some sincerity, they could just take her into custody, which would surely ease the tension a bit!
"Hey, don't be like this, Wang Ge. Come over, smoke a cigarette to calm down a bit." Lu Fang tried to appease with a smile, taking out a pack of cigarettes and pulling him outside the ward. "Let's talk it out. There's no need to involve the police, right?"
Wang Zhi was waiting for this, but he shook off her hand. "I'll listen if you talk sensibly. I don't smoke."
Lu Fang put the cigarettes back into her pocket and nodded. "Sure, sure."
The two walked out, and the door to the ward closed.
Lu Su looked at Jiang Chenchen. The hospital lights were bright, reflecting on her face, which remained lifeless, her eyes dull as if out of focus.
Thinking that she might be afraid because of the police report, Lu Su tried to comfort her. "Don't worry. When the police come, tell them everything you know. You must have done this to resist!"
Jiang Chenchen glanced at him. "Hmm."
But she wasn't actually afraid; she was just a bit absent-minded. When the doctors and nurses were urgently treating and stitching up the wounds, she had seen it all. She was replaying that scene in her mind.
The coordination between the doctor and nurse was seamless.
Her phone in her pocket vibrated again. It was Sheng Mingsi.
This time, Jiang Chenchen answered and told him everything that had happened tonight.
"Don't be afraid. Tell me the location of the hospital; a lawyer will come over soon."
His tone was dark and icy, suppressing a strong anger, not forgiving those who plotted against Jiang Chenchen. Fortunately, she had fought back, but he was irritated because he wasn't by her side.
He was unaware of how harshly Jiang Chenchen had retaliated, and the person who had malicious intentions was now lying miserably in the hospital.
Lu Su didn't know who she was talking to on the phone, but after answering it, Jiang Chenchen's expression and tone seemed to gain a bit of radiance.
This discovery surprised Lu Su, but he didn't have the right to ask.
It seemed that Wang Zhi's proposal wasn't accepted quickly; both parties were unhappy, their faces darkened.
Lu Fang thought Wang Zhi was too greedy and didn't consider the impossibility of the situation. Their company's major production film, reserved for Jiao Weiyun as the male lead, would have to wait until he fully recovered. How was this feasible?
She hadn't reported this to President Gu, thinking it was impossible. The male lead for the big-budget film had long been decided—a young A-list actor. Could Jiao Weiyun compare to him?
Wang Zhi was in a bad mood, sarcastically remarking, "Let's handle this matter officially."
Finally, the police arrived. After understanding the situation, they prepared to take Jiang Chenchen into custody.
