Chapter 328: Chapter 328: The Father-Son Trio’s Duet

He Xing’s already unattractive complexion turned paler, his lips tightened, but his response remained the same, "How is Fu Han doing?"

Su Cheng saw that his words were ignored, fury ignited within him as he burst from his seat, throwing a punch at He Xing: "Are you even listening to me? Who matters more to you, Xia Ning or Fu Han?"

"Have you lost your mind?" He Xing suppressed his rage, raising his arm to block Su Cheng’s hand, his eyes without warmth as he stared at him: "I don’t need to explain Fu Han’s importance to me to any of you. I am only concerned about Fu Han’s condition."

"Concerned about her?" Su Cheng’s anger was inexhaustible as he swung another punch at He Xing: "If it weren’t for you, how could Fu Han have been hurt time and again? Are you blind? Can’t you see what Xia Ning has been doing to Fu Han?"

He Xing had already raised his arm, and with a slight adjustment, he could easily have blocked Su Cheng’s punch.

But Su Cheng’s words weighed down like a mountain on his back, bending He Xing’s spine, his shoulder taking the blow forcibly, pain splitting through his scapula as if it were about to crack open.

The force exerted is mutual; Su Cheng’s backhand throbbed with piercing pain, like a needle touching a balloon, dissipating all the fury in his heart.

He hadn’t actually intended to hit He Xing, at least not this time. He had been ready for He Xing to dodge, considering that in their previous encounter his punch had been swifter, yet He Xing had evaded with ease.

Knowing he wouldn’t really hit He Xing, this punch was purely venting more forceful than the last, not expecting He Xing not to dodge.

Su Cheng sheepishly retracted his hand, awkwardly saying, "I... I never intended to really hit you."

No expression could be discerned on He Xing’s handsome face, his gaze heavy as he looked at Su Cheng: "How is Fu Han doing?"

"I don’t know." Now without any reason to refuse, Su Cheng sighed and explained: "Fu Han has multiple external injuries, and it’s said that the siblings Xia Cheng and Xia Ning repeatedly beat her. The doctor is currently examining and treating her wounds."

The hospital was as bustling as a market, with people coming and going outside the emergency room.

Even though everyone lives ordinary lives, free from any significant ups and downs, why do ordinary people suffer from so many illnesses?

The majority of the passersby moved in a hurried manner, few stopping for others’ affairs, let alone caring for the joys and sorrows of strangers.

He Xing shifted his gaze from Su Cheng, finally resting it on the faces of Xia Cheng and Xia Ning, less than a meter away from him; his eyes narrowed slightly, his entire presence emanating a dangerous aura.

Like they had agreed to do so, both Xia Cheng and Xia Ning shrunk their necks, hung her heads, eyes fixated on the ground, not daring to look at He Xing.

Footsteps echoed from afar, the friction of heels striking the floor resounded through the narrow corridor, annoyingly repetitive and grating to the ear.

Turning towards the direction of the sound, the comer turned out to be the father of Xia Cheng and Xia Ning, Xia Guoxiong.

Dressed in his fine suit, though he had hurried over, not a single wrinkle marred his clothes, his shoes glossy, hair meticulously styled, unfazed by his swift pace, likely using at least half a bottle of hair gel in a day.

Xia Guoxiong stood in front of Xia Cheng and Xia Ning, his gaze on them freezing: "Do you realize the mess you’ve created today?"

The siblings hung their heads, unable to retaliate or even utter a word in their defense.

"Good job, relying on He Xing’s support behind you, you don’t even take your own father seriously, do you? How many times have I told you to behave yourselves outside, yet you never listen," Xia Guoxiong’s finger jabbing with such vehemence at Xia Ning and Xia Cheng, as if wishing to poke holes through them.

He Xing’s brows furrowed deeply, unable to hold back any longer: "Uncle Xia, I think there’s been a misunderstanding. I’ve never backed them up, if anyone’s been supporting them, it’s been you, hasn’t it?"

"That’s not important," Xia Guoxiong waved his hand dismissively, with an obviously ingratiating expression, "He Xing, who doesn’t know that the Xia Family has reached its current status thanks to the He Family’s help?"

This was common knowledge throughout the city and the country, but hearing it from Xia Guoxiong’s mouth made it especially disagreeable.

He Xing’s gaze chilled even further as he aloofly replied, "Uncle Xia, let’s not be modest. The Xia Group’s success today is the result of your years of struggle, day and night; it’s your good fortune."

In terms of linguistic artistry, this was a statement that seemed like praise at first glance but made Xia Guoxiong quite uncomfortable.

Xia Guoxiong’s smile stiffened momentarily; still, as a well-known old fox, his expression quickly returned to normal, the smile even deeper: "He Xing, you’re being too formal. Although our families are distinct, who doesn’t know how close our relationship is? Without selling the He Family’s face, who would have bothered with me when I started my business?"

This time, what Xia Guoxiong said was much more sincere and, of course, because it was the truth.

He Xing neither disputed nor agreed, but turned his attention to Xia Cheng and Xia Ning: "Uncle Xia, you’re aware of what happened today. How do you think we should handle this?"

"This..." Xia Guoxiong glanced carefully at He Xing’s expression, noticing that although his face was expressionless, his gaze was terrifying to the point that it would instinctively instill fear in others.

On the other hand, Xia Cheng and Xia Ning, thinking they had found a backer in Xia Guoxiong, no longer hung their heads like before, but instead looked at him with pleading eyes.

Slap, slap! Two sharp slaps rang, and on both Xia Cheng’s and Xia Ning’s faces, a clear handprint appeared.

"Dad!" they exclaimed in unison, clearly not understanding why Xia Guoxiong had acted this way, and feeling wronged over being struck.

Xia Guoxiong scolded them with a cold face: "You have really become lawless. This time you’ve hurt Fu Han and Bai Wei; I cannot help you. You’ll have to figure it out on your own."

They were both at a loss, with no one expecting Xia Guoxiong to abandon them.

What worried them most was that they had now calmed down enough to realize the gravity of their deeds and the consequences they faced. They broke into cold sweats, minds going blank, unable to utter a word.

Xia Guoxiong, seeing his foolish children who didn’t grasp his true intentions, was seething inside, yet he turned to He Xing and knelt on the ground with a thump: "He Xing, they are my only children; you must save them."
