Chapter 138: Chapter 138 Admission

Xu Ke and Lin Mengyao went to the hospital for a check-up. Lin Mengyao’s injuries weren’t too severe, though the bruises on her body looked frightening. With some ointment and rest, she’d recover in time. Xu Ke was in a bit more trouble. When the group attacked Xu Ke, it was different from when they attacked Lin Mengyao. They were mindful that she was a woman and held back, but with Xu Ke, they didn’t hold back at all, and hit him hard.

As a result, Xu Ke’s arms were broken, as was one of his legs. In an instant, three of his four limbs were fractured. Before they left, they bought a wheelchair from the hospital.

By the time Lin Mengyao struggled to push Xu Ke into the villa, it was already eight or nine in the evening.

Sister Zhou saw Lin Mengyao’s face wrapped in bandages, and Xu Ke looking almost like a mummy, and was so shocked she almost dropped the soup. "Sir, madam, what happened to you? How did you end up like this?"

"Sister Zhou, has my mom returned?" Lin Mengyao didn’t answer her question but looked at her with eyes filled with countless storms.

Sister Zhou had never seen such aggressive eyes on Lin Mengyao. She was momentarily stunned, but managed to reply honestly, "Madam Lin has been back for a while, she should be in her room now. Do you want me to call her for you?" Sister Zhou noticed Lin Mengyao’s slow gait and asked considerately.

"It would be great if you could, Sister Zhou." Lin Mengyao said as she covered her face, which had started to heal after applying some ointment.

While Sister Zhou went to find Li Lihua, Lin Mengyao pushed Xu Ke beside the sofa. She then sat by his side, resting her head on Xu Ke’s shoulder, and closed her eyes.

"If you’re tired, just rest. Let me handle this matter. As long as you don’t feel pain at the result I accomplish." Xu Ke looked at Lin Mengyao with tender eyes. He raised his hand to caress her hair, but found his hand was too tightly bandaged, rendering him unable to do so.

Xu Ke sighed regretfully.

"No, I want to be involved in this." Lin Mengyao opened her eyes, her gaze colder than ever before. Li Lihua’s actions had really crossed the line this time, and she needed answers.

Sister Zhou took nearly twenty minutes to come out of Li Lihua’s room, but Li Lihua did not come with her. Sister Zhou looked a bit troubled, "Madam Lin refuses to come out."

"Tell her if she doesn’t come out today, I’ll have security throw her out of my villa. She has one minute." Xu Ke said coldly, his voice devoid of any emotion.

This time Li Lihua came out quickly, "What are you yelling for, what do you need to shout about in the middle of the night, do you want to die?" Her voice softened as she took in the terrible state of the two in the living room, and her initially arrogant demeanor turned evasive.

"What happened to you two?" Li Lihua asked, her expression somewhat awkward.

"What happened to us, you know very well, don’t you? Li Lihua, even a tiger won’t harm its cubs. How could you put Mengyao in such a dangerous situation? What did they give you to make you do this? How could you be so ruthless?" Xu Ke shouted, grinding his teeth, his eyes full of angry red veins.

Li Lihua was startled by Xu Ke’s eyes and subconsciously took a step back, "What are you talking about? I don’t understand. Perhaps you’ve misunderstood something?" Her eyes darted around as she feigned ignorance.

Seeing Li Lihua still unwilling to change, Xu Ke picked up a teacup from the coffee table and threw it at her. But his injury left him wrapped in bandages, and the freshly set bones had little strength, so the cup smashed onto the floor in front of Li Lihua, shattering into pieces.

"Ah!" Li Lihua shrieked from the sudden attack, her voice piercingly loud.

"Shut up," Xu Ke shouted.

"Answer my questions," Xu Ke saw Li Lihua shut her mouth, and with veins bulging on his forehead, he growled,

"I..." Li Lihua was about to deny it when the often invisible Lin Mengyao beside Xu Ke spoke coldly, "Don’t say you don’t know anything."

"Mom, why did you do this to me? Why did you push my hand away at that time? And why did you turn and leave? Why didn’t you call the police? Why did you come home and act like nothing happened, enjoying life in the villa? Don’t you feel any pain or guilt?" Lin Mengyao said, her eyes reddening, tears large as pearls streaming down her face.

"Of course, I was worried and guilty. After all, you’re my daughter. How could I not be worried and guilty? I was so concerned about you I didn’t know what to do. You don’t know how much I cried just now in my room, crying until I fainted. How could you misunderstand me like this?" Li Lihua spoke while dabbing her eyes, as if she had been wronged.

Lin Mengyao let her last tear drop fall from the corner of her eye, staring straight at Li Lihua’s act. Unable to help herself, she burst into laughter, "Even at this point, you’re still lying. I shouldn’t have any illusions about you."

"I’m not, how can you think of me that way."

Li Lihua tried to argue, but when another cup was thrown by Xu Ke, she quickly shut her mouth again.

"From now on, you answer whatever I ask. If you dare to lie or play the fool, I’ll make you end up like me." Xu Ke said harshly.

"Who contacted you? When did they find you? Where do you usually keep in contact with them? What did they ask you to do? Speak!" Xu Ke said coldly.

The villa was quiet, but Xu Ke wasn’t in a hurry, his stare at Li Lihua growing more menacing, suffocating the villa’s atmosphere.

Finally, unable to withstand the pressure, Li Lihua timidly whispered, "I don’t know who they are, just heard they’re from the Bai Feng Gang. They met me only once, and it’s your fault for offending someone outside, and they want to teach you a lesson. It’s not like they’re beating you for nothing. Since they’re willing to pay me, why wouldn’t I agree? You’re just a useless live-in son-in-law, always getting beaten. You’re used to it by now and probably don’t mind this time, especially when there’s money involved."

As Li Lihua spoke, her voice grew louder, her demeanor became more justified, showing no signs of remorse.

"So, everything today was your plan?" Though Xu Ke’s words formed a question, his tone was full of certainty.

Since she had admitted it, Li Lihua no longer hid and confessed quite freely.

"It wasn’t my plan. I just followed the plan."

"Do you know how much Yaoyao suffered because of your greed?" Xu Ke said grimly.

"Don’t blame everything on me. If you hadn’t offended the Bai Feng Gang, they wouldn’t have found me. If they hadn’t found me, none of this would have happened. Ultimately, it’s all because of you, so why blame me? Is there anything else? If not, I’ll go back. This is just wasting time." Li Lihua rolled her eyes impatiently.
