Chapter 454: Chapter 213: Trouble Resolved, A New Beginning (Part 2)

Seeing no way to call for help, DiDi had no choice but to grit his teeth and walk on his knees down the path of shards he had prepared himself. He really demonstrated what it means to shoot oneself in the foot.

Qiu Tian recorded the process of DiDi walking on his knees over the shards and sent it to Yang Chen, then ordered his men to clean up the scene and tow away Yang Chen’s car.

Soon, not a trace was left at the scene, as if nothing had ever happened.

Yang Chen arrived at Longmei Hospital, requested a "presidential" room, received some simple treatment for his injuries, and lay down to sleep soundly.

At dawn, the doctors came to work.

Yang Chen underwent a full-body examination and felt relieved only after confirming that there was no major problem.

A while later, Tang Xia called Yang Chen to ask which hospital he was in, and then she and her father came to visit him personally. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

Yang Chen invited them into the ward.

Tang Xia: "Brother Chen, how are you feeling?"

Yang Chen: "The doctor said I’m fine, just need a few days’ rest."

Tang Chenghu: "You really know how to enjoy yourself! Such a minor injury, yet you come here for hospital treatment."

Yang Chen: "I certainly won’t shortchange myself."

Tang Chenghu: "What are you planning to do with DiDi and Li Xiang? I can ignore DiDi, but can you spare Li Xiang?"

Yang Chen: "Uncle Tang, I’ve already done you a favor last night; you can’t keep putting me in difficult positions. Li Xiang conspired with DiDi to target me; the main culprit is Li Xiang. You want me to let him go? No, I can’t do that."

Tang Xia: "Dad, why do you want to protect Li Xiang? He’s the mastermind and the worst of them all. If you won’t help Brother Chen, at least don’t help Li Xiang to trouble him, right?"

Tang Chenghu sighed and said, "I’m not helping Li Xiang against Yang Chen, it’s just that our family has a lot of funds with Li Xiang, and if something happens to him, what about that money? Won’t we lose a way to make profits too?"

Look, Yang Chen’s earlier thoughts were exactly right; unless the Tang Family’s funds issue with Li Xiang was resolved, they wouldn’t easily give him up.

Fortunately, Yang Chen had prepared in advance, now it’s just a matter of sticking to his plan.

"Transfer the funds you have with Li Xiang to me, and I guarantee you at least a 50% return annually. Someone must have contacted you before, right? Star Investment Company, that’s mine." Yang Chen said.

Tang Chenghu’s eyes lit up, and after thinking for a while, he smiled and said: "Kid, you’ve been planning to deal with Li Xiang and DiDi for a long time, right? You knew that once the issue of profit from these funds was resolved, our Tang Family wouldn’t care about Li Xiang anymore, and you could handle him at will. Is that right?"

Yang Chen nodded with a smile.

Then, Tang Chenghu’s expression changed, and he said: "So you approached my daughter for this too? You don’t really like her; you just wanted to use her to build a good relationship with our Tang Family as your backup plan. If you could persuade us to withdraw the funds, you could directly go after Li Xiang. If you couldn’t, then you’d use your relationship with my daughter to persuade me to pull them out, then go after Li Xiang. Is this your plan? Silly girl, you’re just a tool for his revenge, and you foolishly believe he likes you!"

Tang Xia’s face turned dramatically, forcing a smile, she asked: "Brother Chen, is that true?"

Yang Chen explained: "Of course not. You revealed your identity last night; I had no idea you were Tang Chenghu’s daughter. I even thought I should check a person’s background before befriending them to avoid not knowing who they are once we become friends."

Tang Xia nodded and said to her father: "Dad, you hear that? He’s not the kind of person you say he is."

Tang Chenghu shook his head helplessly and said: "Silly girl, you really believe his nonsense? He’s so capable; how could he not know your identity?"

Yang Chen: "No, why are you so malicious, old man? Why do you feel the need to drive a wedge between us?"

Tang Chenghu: "It’s not that I’m driving a wedge between you; I’m just analyzing logically. Am I not logical in my analysis?"

This talk of his really left people speechless.

But then again, if analyzed logically, Tang Chenghu does have a point.

Yang Chen said to Tang Xia: "I’ve already explained, you can decide whether to believe me or not."

I’m not one to grovel; I’ve explained my part. Whether she believes it or not is up to her.

Tang Chenghu grabbed Tang Xia’s hand and said: "Girl, don’t listen to his nonsense. Let’s go!"

With that, Tang Chenghu dragged Tang Xia away.

Tang Xia looked back every few steps, wanting to say something but couldn’t say it.

When outside, Tang Xia never disclosed her identity publically, and the thing she resented the most was someone approaching her because of her identity.

Although she really likes Yang Chen, if Yang Chen approached her because of her identity, she couldn’t accept it either.

"Damn it!" Yang Chen couldn’t help but complain.

Outside, Tang Chenghu comforted: "Girl, don’t be too upset. The reason Daddy did this was mostly to test him. If you got with him just like that, he likely wouldn’t cherish you. If he really likes you, he’d surely express it. Whether he knows your identity isn’t important anymore; the important thing is what he does afterward. Daddy only has one daughter, surely I must assess his character and nature. I can’t easily agree to you two being together. Do you understand Dad’s feelings?"

Tang Xia complained: "But you said it like that just now, what if he gets angry?"
