Rong Qi glanced at the woman and then turned back to continue enjoying her soup.
“I am Rong Qi. But I’d advise you not to provoke me until Duan Qianming arrives.” Rong Qi warned.
“Such arrogance!” Mrs. Duan rolled up her sleeves, intending to signal her bodyguards to come in. But the infirmary was already too crowded. The students of Class 7 stood up, forming a barrier in front of Rong Qi.
Mrs. Duan was seething, her eyes narrowing as she assessed them. She said, “If you don’t want to drag your own families into this mess, then smarten up and get out of the way!”
Mrs. Duan’s words carried a certain deterrent power.
The students of Class 7 were children of affluent families, but they were nothing in the face of their family’s interests. For all they knew, the elders of their families might sacrifice them to appease the Duan family if it meant protecting the family’s interests.
The students of Class 7 hesitated. But Zhang Fu struggled to rise from his hospital bed, only to be stopped by Huang Hao. Huang Hao gathered his courage and said firmly, “Don’t forget who stood up for us when we were being bullied by Duan Shujie. Even if you threaten us with our families, it’s useless. I, Huang Hao, will stand against the Duan family to the very end! If you want to hurt our Rong Qi, you’ll have to get through us first!”
“Right! If we get disowned, so be it! We’re all in. Our Rong Qi protected us, and we can’t let her face retaliation alone!”
“Do you really want to die?” Mrs. Duan asked as she trembled with anger.
The standoff continued until Mrs. Duan pointed at Rong Qi and began cursing loudly, “Rong Qi, if you’re so tough, come out here. Hiding behind these people, what are you? You crippled my son’s legs and arms, I will never let you off!”
Xing Han’s brows furrowed, considering whether to call Ye Nanshen, but then he turned to see Rong Qi calmly continuing her soup. He instantly abandoned the thought and stood aside to watch. Unbeknownst to those present, three individuals dressed as doctors, wearing masks, had silently appeared in the infirmary.
Meanwhile, just returning from a business trip, Duan Qianming received the news about his son being crippled as soon as his plane landed. He was told that no doctor in the entire capital could fix it. With a worried frown, he pinched his weary brow, rushing to Capital University without a moment’s rest.
“Master, don’t worry. Madam has already gone to handle it. She’ll find a way to treat the young master’s leg.”
Duan Qianming’s voice was strained, he said, “Her handle it? How does she handle things? Isn’t it her fault that Shujie ended up like this? But this time, he met his match and he should learn his lesson. Serves him right!”
Throughout the ride, Duan Qianming felt a heaviness in his heart. For some reason, he had a bad premonition. He had a nagging feeling that this time, Duan Shujie had crossed someone formidable. Knowing the reputation of the Duan family, anyone who still dared to harm Duan Shujie must possess considerable power.
Stepping out of the car, Duan Qianming rushed toward the infirmary. Before even entering, he saw a group of bodyguards standing outside the door. His anger surged. Quickening his pace, he approached the infirmary.
Duan Qianming saw Duan Shujie lying dejectedly on a hospital bed after pushing open the door. When Duan Shujie saw his father, he began to wail, “Dad, you have to avenge me! Someone crippled me!”
Duan Qianming spoke sternly, “Who did you provoke this time? I sent you here to study, not to cause me trouble!”
Duan Shujie shrank back under the scolding and said, “I’m the one who got crippled, are you even my father? You’re here yelling at me instead of avenging me? Anyway, mom’s next door avenging me. She won’t let that b*tch Rong Qi get away with it today!”
“What? Who did you say? Rong Qi?” Duan Qianming suddenly roared, startling Duan Shujie into silence..
