Chapter 52: You Will Die a Horrible Death!

People’s Hospital.

Wang Daokun was lying on the hospital bed in the emergency department.

He was covered in injuries, and his right leg was in a cast, looking very pitiful.

Ye Chen couldn’t help but feel sympathy; a grown man misjudged a woman, and as a result, not only was his heart broken, but his body was also beaten to this extent.

When Wang Daokun saw him enter, tears streamed down his swollen eyes, which looked like eggs.

“Ye Chen…” Wang Daokun couldn’t help but burst into tears as soon as he spoke.

Ye Chen walked up to him and said lightly, “Enough, she’s just a worthless woman, not worth your sadness.”

Wang Daokun cried, “I pursued her for three years. For her, I had no dignity at all these years, completely turned into a sycophant. I thought that if I licked her boots until the end, I would have everything, but I didn’t expect that in the end, I would have nothing…”

Wang Daokun was sobbing, struggling to catch his breath, and said, “That worthless woman not only wants to break up with me but also wants me to leave with nothing! Most of the money I earned these years was spent on her, and the only hundred thousand I had saved was invested in the restaurant. In the end, she won’t even return that money to me. I was truly blind to fall for such a venomous woman.”

Ye Chen comforted him, “Daokun, a man should know when to hold on and when to let go. If you fall, just get back up! What about the painting I gave you? That painting can sell for at least two hundred thousand, enough for you to start a small business.”

Wang Daokun nodded and said, “The painting is in my arms. Luckily you reminded me to bring it; otherwise, she would have taken it too!”

Ye Chen said, “As long as the painting is still here, that’s good. You lie down and calm down; I’ll go buy you some fruit and pay the hospital bill.”

Wang Daokun was moved to tears, “Ye Chen, good brother, thank you so much… Don’t worry, I will definitely pay you back in the future!”

Ye Chen replied lightly, “Alright, we’re brothers, no need for formalities.”

After saying that, he left the ward.

In his rush earlier, he hadn’t had time to buy anything. Seeing Wang Daokun in such a pitiful state, Ye Chen felt a pang of compassion, so he went to buy him some fruit and also prepaid a hundred thousand for his hospital bill.

When he returned to the ward, Ye Chen found the door had been pushed open.

As he approached, he saw Liu Lili standing at Wang Daokun’s bedside, holding hands with Zhao Dong.

Wang Daokun, seeing the two of them enter, shouted, “What are you doing here? Come to see my joke?”

Liu Lili sneered, “Who cares to see your pathetic state!”

After saying that, she spat on the floor and continued, “I’m here to get that painting from you! Where did you hide it? Hand it over quickly!”

Wang Daokun angrily replied, “Liu Lili, that painting was given to me by my brother. What right do you have to take it?”

“Given to you?” Liu Lili scoffed, “Get it straight, why did Ye Chen give you that painting? It was a congratulatory gift for the restaurant opening! And whose restaurant is it? It’s my dad’s!”

Wang Daokun didn’t expect Liu Lili to be so shameless. His voice trembled with anger, “Liu Lili, don’t go too far! Your family’s restaurant still has my hundred thousand investment; you must return that money to me. As for the painting, it was a gift from my good brother to me, did you hear that? A gift to me!”

Liu Lili disdainfully said, “Stop wasting my time. The restaurant has nothing to do with you; I won’t give you a single cent. That painting belongs to the restaurant. If you don’t hand it over, I’ll call the police and say you stole it from my family’s restaurant!”

Zhao Dong, standing beside her, also sneered, “Kid, I advise you to be sensible. My connections in Jinling are not something you can afford to provoke. If you don’t hand over the painting, as soon as I give a heads-up to the police, they’ll come and arrest you! A case worth two hundred thousand is enough for you to spend ten years in prison!”

Wang Daokun’s tears flowed continuously as he questioned Liu Lili, “All these years, I’ve given you everything I could. Even if you don’t appreciate it, there’s no need to kick me when I’m down, right?”

Liu Lili scoffed, “Appreciate it? What are you? Let me tell you, I never liked you. A loser like you doesn’t deserve my affection! Only men like Dong Ge are worthy of my love!”

Zhao Dong chimed in, laughing, “Oh, I forgot to tell you, Lili and I are very harmonious in bed. You have no idea how loud she screams; my ceiling is almost blown off by her voice!”

Liu Lili shyly said, “Oh, Dong Ge, why are you saying this? It makes me shy…”

“Shy?” Zhao Dong laughed, “How about we close the door and demonstrate in front of this loser how you serve me?”

“Oh no, that’s too embarrassing!”

Wang Daokun could no longer tolerate it. He picked up a pillow and threw it at them, shouting, “Get out, you dog couple!”

Zhao Dong caught the pillow and coldly said, “I warn you, if you don’t hand over the painting, I’ll break your other leg and throw you in jail!”

Ye Chen, having overheard all this outside, suddenly walked into the ward and shouted angrily, “Dare to touch my brother? You’re asking for death!”

Zhao Dong turned around and looked at Ye Chen, questioning, “Who are you?”

Liu Lili said, “This is Ye Chen, the one who gave the painting.”

Zhao Dong laughed loudly, “Oh, I thought it was someone important. Turns out it’s that good-for-nothing who lives off others! His name is well-known in Jinling!”

As he spoke, Zhao Dong looked coldly at Ye Chen and said, “I’ll give you three seconds to get out. I can pretend you were never here and won’t hold it against you!”

Ye Chen disdainfully replied, “You want me to leave? Who do you think you are?”

Zhao Dong gritted his teeth, “Kid, you dare to act tough in front of me, Zhao Dong?”

Ye Chen coldly said, “I don’t care if you’re Zhao Dong or Zhao West or whatever; you made me very unhappy today. I’m giving you a chance: kneel down and kowtow three times to my brother, or I’ll have you break a leg. Otherwise, you’ll die a very ugly death!”

Upon hearing this, Zhao Dong laughed a few times, but then his expression gradually hardened, and he coldly said, “Kid, what did you say? Make Zhao Dong kneel? You must be tired of living!”

Liu Lili couldn’t help but mock, “Ye Chen, where did this idiot come from? Trying to act tough with Dong Ge? Do you want to die?”

Ye Chen coldly replied, “Shut up, I can’t stand your filthy mouth!”

“You…” Liu Lili was instantly furious and said to Zhao Dong, “Dong Ge! He dared to insult me! Get someone to beat him to death! I want to tear his mouth apart!”

Zhao Dong gritted his teeth and said, “Ungrateful fool! I’m calling someone right now to take care of you; just wait!”

Hearing this, Ye Chen suddenly laughed and said, “Good, if you can’t take care of me, both you and this filthy mouth will die a miserable death!”
