Obsessive Tycoon and His Swan Girl
Chapter 413 - 403: They Slapped My Face!

Chapter 413: Chapter 403: They Slapped My Face!

Tang’s mother only then realized that the other party was still just a child and that this incident was very likely to go unresolved.

Blinded by rage, she raised her hand to slap Jiang Yunxuan across the face.

The police quickly stopped her.

Jiang Zhe’s voice echoed faintly, "Who wants to hit Yunxuan?"

In the chaos, Jiang Yunxuan escaped Tang’s mother’s grasp and ran to Jiang Zhe’s side.

He didn’t quite dare to look into Jiang Zhe’s eyes, "Sis, I’m sorry, I heard Tang Xinru badmouthing you behind your back and couldn’t help but teach her a lesson."

"You taught her quite well, some people do need to be hit," Jiang Zhe said gently, asking, "Does your hand hurt?"

Tang’s mother: "..."

Police: "..."

Rubbing his hands together and raising them, Jiang Yunxuan said, "Just broke the skin a little."

"Knowing it broke the skin, don’t go teaching people a lesson next time. You’re not her mother; there’s no need for you to discipline someone else’s child."

Implicit in her words was that Tang Xinru lacked proper upbringing.

Tang’s mother’s face turned the color of iron, "Jiang Zhe!"

"What’s wrong, did my sister say something incorrect? Not disciplining your own child certainly makes others itch to do it for you. Unfortunately, I’m not her mother; I won’t speak to her softly, I just want to see her slapped!"

Jiang Yunxuan couldn’t stand others raising their voice at Jiang Zhe.

Tang’s mother clenched her hands until her knuckles cracked, yet was completely powerless.

The police said, "Jiang Zhe, Jiang Yunxuan caused Tang Xinru serious injuries, and we need him to come in to assist with our investigation. Please cooperate."

Jiang Zhe knew their procedures, "Go ahead, in 24 hours I will have a lawyer come to pick him up."

She patted Jiang Yunxuan’s head, "You know what to do, right?"

"I know. Just follow the police officers; they will ensure my personal safety. If there is an issue or if I need something, I’ll contact my lawyer."

Qin Jingchen took out his phone and gave an order to ensure Jiang Yunxuan’s personal safety.

Barely keeping her anger in check, Tang’s mother said to him, "Mr. Qin, I admit that in everything that happened, my daughter was at fault first. But now that the matter has settled and Jiang Yunxuan has injured her so gravely, I hope you can approach this with a fair and objective attitude. I also believe that you will not show bias."

"What do I have to be biased about? Jiang Yunxuan is not yet eleven years old; after the police complete their investigation and gather evidence, they will release him. As for the civil compensation, medical expenses, someone will handle it," Qin Jingchen said, lifting his eyelids and speaking indifferently.

A lump of blood stuck in Tang’s mother’s throat, neither coming up nor going down.

What she wanted was not these things at all!

The thought that Jiang Yunxuan could commit such an outrageous act and not be punished due to his age left her feeling extremely aggrieved.

After Qin Jingchen finished speaking, he took Jiang Zhe by the hand and said, "Let’s go."

Jiang Zhe readily followed Qin Jingchen’s pace.

Tang’s mother waited for Mr. Tang to arrive.

After hearing her account, Mr. Tang’s face became extremely grim.

Overwhelmed by his love for his daughter, Mr. Tang made a decision.

He made a phone call, "I can’t make it for the treatment at Elder Long’s; I’m terribly sorry. Worried about my daughter’s situation, I’m afraid that I might make a mistake during the medical process and delay Elder Long’s condition. My apologies."

Tang’s mother paused briefly before saying, "Husband, is it really okay to offend Elder Long?"

Long Zhan was a decorated veteran of Dragon Emperor Country’s early years, having fought in battles and carried guns, with remarkable military achievements. Approaching his nineties, he was the only surviving decorated veteran from his generation.

The entire Dragon Emperor Country revered and admired him upon mentioning his name.

Even the Qin Family showed immense respect to Long Zhan.

With age, Long Zhan’s health had declined, and he suffered from old ailments. Mr. Tang, responsible for his acupuncture and physical therapy, helped alleviate his conditions.

This is also an important reason why Mr. Tang and his family can maintain their unbeatable stance in Beijing; their support over these years has allowed both Mr. Tang and the He family to stay on equal footing.

Madam Tang knew her husband was using a strategy of advancing by retreating to seek justice for their daughter, but she feared really offending the Dragon Family and Old Master Long.

Mr. Tang said, "We have been bullied to such an extent, there’s no other way. Even if Jiang Yunxuan isn’t punished, we need Qin Family Patriarch to take a stance. Otherwise, who wouldn’t feel free to strike Xinru when they please? What dignity would we have left? They’re hitting Xinru, but it’s also a slap to my face!"

...

Mr. Tang stopped providing Old Master Long with acupuncture and physical therapy, and the Dragon family immediately reacted.

After Qin Jingchen returned to the courtyard house, he received a call from Old Master Long’s grandson, Long Feilie.

He glanced at Jiang Zhe playing with his phone on the sofa, then got up and went to the balcony to answer the call.

"Qin Patriarch," Long Feilie’s voice came through the phone, calm and neither servile nor overbearing, "there is a matter that I need to trouble you with."

"Go ahead."

Qin Jingchen had already guessed it was about Old Master Long, but his voice remained even.

Long Feilie said in an even tone, "My grandfather has always been in poor health. He has relied on Dr. Tang’s acupuncture and therapy for many years to remain strong and healthy. Now there has been an incident at Dr. Tang’s, making it impossible for him to treat my grandfather, so I was hoping you could help find another doctor?"

Qin Jingchen politely said, "Give my regards to Old Master Long, and when I have time, I will visit him. As for the doctor, if I find someone suitable, I will recommend them."

"Qin Patriarch, my grandfather’s health may not wait too long..."

Long Feilie urged.

He had not expected Qin Jingchen to sidestep the issue so lightly.

He didn’t dare to use the issue with Dr. Tang directly to seek mediation from Qin Jingchen, so he used his grandfather’s health as a probe instead.

However, Qin Jingchen did not take the bait.

"I am aware. Old Master Long has dedicated his life to serving the nation, rest assured, the country will not neglect him."

With no other option, Long Feilie could only say, "Thank you."

After hanging up the phone, Long Feilie did not blame Qin Jingchen. Instead, he blamed Dr. Tang’s daughter for being thoughtless—as it was her own fault, she had caused so much trouble.

Qin Jingchen put away his phone and walked inside.

Jiang Zhe asked, "Who was it?"

"A friend. Nothing important. I will go with you tomorrow to pick up Yunxuan."

"Then I’ll mention it to Aunt Feng."

Feng Jiao and Lu Jinjiang had already inquired several times.

The next day, when it was almost time, Jiang Zhe and Qin Jingchen went to pick up Jiang Yunxuan.

Jiang Yunxuan had stayed in the police station all night and had not been mistreated.

Seeing Jiang Zhe, he quickly ran over.

"Are you okay?" Jiang Zhe asked.

Jiang Yunxuan shook his head, "Completely fine."

"I’ll take you home and then you stay at school for a while," Jiang Zhe instructed.

The two escorted Jiang Yunxuan back to the Lu family and handed him over to his parents.

...

Jiang Fanyue followed Zhou Yaming to the Dragon family home.

Zhou Yaming said with a smile, "Old Master Long really appreciates your music and has the intention to cultivate you. You should cherish this opportunity."

Jiang Fanyue was well aware of Old Master Long’s status and never dared to take him lightly.
