Chapter 339: Chapter 339: Utilizing Any Means to Achieve One’s Goal

"A pity?" He Xing sneered, his handsome eyes looking at Xia Guoxiong with a smile that was not quite a smile, "Uncle Xia, when you need to choose talents, do you think ability or character is more important?"

Xia Guoxiong lifted his coffee and took a sip, counter-questioning without answering, "What do you think?"

"Character," He Xing said without hesitation, "If a person has ability but lacks character, I definitely would not employ them."

"That is the difference between you and me," Xia Guoxiong set down his cup of coffee, his fingers drumming on the coffee table as he spoke in a pleasant tone, "Although He Group is bigger than Xia Group, you are just guarding a family business, while I built Xia Group from the ground up. We do differ somewhat. Sometimes being too high-minded isn’t a good thing. Using some means to achieve an objective is necessary."

He spoke fervently, and by the end, his saliva was flying all over, as if he was about to drown someone with his spit.

He Xing’s expression did not change at all, but there was a faint trace of pity hidden deep in his eyes, "Uncle Xia, I have no intention of meddling in your personal conduct. I just want to say, be careful. Yi Lixing can use shady means to help you, but he can also use them to take you down."

After speaking these words, He Xing stood up and left, no longer attempting to continue the conversation with Xia Guoxiong.

Unexpectedly, this made Xia Guoxiong panic first. He hastily stood up to ask, "He Xing, what about Xia Cheng and Xia Ning’s situation? If Fu Han is willing to let them go, I will immediately drop all charges against Luo Qinghe and Su Cheng."

He Xing’s hand was already on the doorknob. Hearing this, he slowly turned around and said word by word, "The one who got hurt is Fu Han. I have no right to make any decisions on her behalf. I remember every single thing Xia Cheng and Xia Ning have done to Fu Han over the years. It’s all because they didn’t know to restrain themselves and went from bad to worse, that they’ve ended up in this situation today."

He Xing and Liang Tao had barely left when the Assistant came in right after.

She carefully locked the door and then called out "Chairman" in a coquettish tone, swaying her hips as she walked towards Xia Guoxiong.

Before she could reach Xia Guoxiong, he stretched out an arm, pulled her into his embrace, and his hands roamed restlessly over her body.

The Assistant reached under the cushions of the couch behind Xia Guoxiong and took the piece of "black cloth" He Xing had seen earlier into her hand. She planted a forceful kiss on Xia Guoxiong’s face, "Director Xia, please wait for me, this is a new outfit I just bought, I’ll change into it for you to see, okay?"

"Sure!" Xia Guoxiong slapped the Assistant’s perky buttocks, his laugh full of ambiguous pleasure.

The Assistant’s face was still flushed, and she had not moved away when there came a knock on the door along with a young man’s voice.

"Who is it, so annoying," the Assistant stamped her foot hard, quivering with anger, and she pouted at Xia Guoxiong, "Chairman, let’s go to your Waiting Room, don’t pay any attention to them."

However, Xia Guoxiong had already gotten up. He patted the Assistant’s cheek with a smile, "The person outside can save my son and daughter, how can I not see them?"

"Fine then." The Assistant stuffed the "black cloth" back into the crevice of the couch and then swayed her hips to go open the door.

Standing outside, indeed, was Yi Lixing, who didn’t even glance at Xia Guoxiong’s Assistant but came straight in and said to Xia Guoxiong, "Director Xia, how did your talk with He Xing go?"

"Useless," Xia Guoxiong’s square face fell, looking like a downtrodden old man who just couldn’t hold his flesh up, "He Xing has no weak points; he only cares about Fu Han. He does not care about the life and death of Su Cheng and Luo Qinghe at all."

"I know," Yi Lixing’s face, which could barely be considered handsome, couldn’t hide his hatred as he said through clenched teeth, "It doesn’t matter if He Xing doesn’t care, but Fu Han and Bai Wei will definitely care. As long as they find out about this, they won’t be able to sit back and ignore it."

Xia Guoxiong’s eyes lit up, but they quickly fell again, "By doing this, won’t we be offending the Li Family and the Huangpu Family? Is this really worth it?"

In fact, Xia Guoxiong had only sent a message to He Xing and had not actually called the police on Su Cheng or Luo Qinghe. He intended to rescue his children without offending the Li Family and the Huangpu Family.

Yi Lixing’s face showed a ruthless expression, "Director Xia, if you always hedge your bets, you will never succeed. Do you think that by not calling the police now, the Huangpu Family and the Li Family will be grateful to you? Let me tell you the truth; you’ve been tied up too closely with the He Family over the years, and they’ve already considered you an adversary."

Xia Guoxiong clenched his teeth tightly, and he suddenly slammed his fist down on the coffee table, "Good, call the police!"

...

The two-hour movie was nearing its end. A film that began as a tragedy ultimately had a comedic ending. Everyone in the movie was overjoyed, and Fu Han’s mood also slightly improved.

Her IV drip was almost finished, and Su Cheng, not wanting to wait for the nurse to be delayed, had hurried off to the Nurse station early to find a nurse to remove the IV. Now the nurse was already waiting in the Ward.

Fu Han was afraid of needles, and when it came time to remove the IV, she closed her eyes in pain.

Seeing her like this, Su Cheng felt distressed and couldn’t help but instruct the nurse, "Please be gentle with her."

The nurse, while carefully removing the adhesive tape, smiled amicably, "Lady Fu is really lucky, not only to have such a loving fiancé but also to have such a considerate friend."

The words "fiancé" and "friend" carried fundamentally different meanings and implied different levels of intimacy.

A flicker of pain crossed Su Cheng’s face, but he still forced a smile, finding it difficult to speak, however.

Thinking of how He Xing had also repeatedly instructed the nurse to be gentle during the morning’s injection, Fu Han unwittingly smiled. Yet her smile was too faint, dissipating before it could even spread to the corner of her eyes.

The nurse, holding the empty IV bottle, was about to leave when two policemen suddenly appeared at the door, startling the nurse so much that she staggered backward several steps.

"May I ask who is Mr. Su Cheng?" one of the policemen asked politely, displaying his badge, his words courteous but his sharp eyes locked onto Su Cheng.

"I am Su Cheng. May I ask what you need me for?" Su Cheng was quite calm. His speech was steady as ever, neither hurried nor arrogant.

"Someone reported that you intentionally injured someone. Please come with us," the policeman said, making a gesture of invitation.

Fu Han became anxious upon hearing this. She slowly lifted the blanket off and got out of bed, saying in a rush, "Officer, who did Su Cheng injure? Who made the report? Please tell us."

However, nobody paid attention to her, and the two policemen were already escorting Su Cheng out, one on each side. In his haste, Su Cheng still did not forget to look back at Fu Han, "Fu Han, don’t worry, I’ll be back soon. Don’t cry, you can’t cry."
