Hearing Doctor Li's shout, Su Zhenxing hurried over to Su Chen. Seeing the blood on Su Chen's face and body, he feared that Su Chen might die the very next moment.
Although Su Chen's aptitude was average and he likely would not contribute much to the Su Family—
He was still his own son, with his blood flowing through him!
"Doctor Li, Doctor Li, Su Chen is so badly hurt. Is... is there still any hope?"
Su Zhenxing anxiously asked Doctor Li.
Although Doctor Li had agreed with Su Chen to make his injuries sound as serious as possible—
He had not agreed to deceive Mr. Su as well.
After all, which was more important: two hundred thousand, or a steady stream of income?
Doctor Li had that distinction very clear in his mind.
Seeing Su Zhenxing's anxious expression, Doctor Li quickly pulled him into a corner.
Su Chen naturally knew that Doctor Li would not hide the truth from Su Zhenxing.
But Su Chen was not worried.
He believed Su Zhenxing would not interfere with his next plan.
After all, if he had been beaten, it meant Su Zhenxing's dignity had been trampled on too.
Seeing Doctor Li act this way, Su Zhenxing thought Su Chen was beyond saving and about to die.
Otherwise, why would Doctor Li bring him to some secluded corner to talk?!
Yet when Doctor Li spoke, he said—
"Mr. Su, don't worry."
"Su Chen is fine."
Su Zhenxing froze.
"Su Chen lost so much blood. How could he possibly be fine?!"
"And Doctor Li, didn't you say Su Chen had internal injuries and even his organs were bleeding?"
"Why are you now telling me that Su Chen is fine?!"
"Doctor Li, are you joking with me?!"
Doctor Li gave an awkward smile.
Then, Doctor Li told Su Zhenxing about his deal with Su Chen.
Doctor Li specifically emphasized that the blood on Su Chen's face and body was Tomato Juice, not actual blood.
He also stressed that although Su Chen had been beaten, he had not suffered any injuries at all.
Su Zhenxing was stunned upon hearing this.
Then he became furious.
What the hell was Su Chen doing?!
Su Chen was not hurt at all, yet he had made such a huge spectacle. Was he playing him for a fool?
Su Zhenxing strode quickly over to Su Chen.
Looking at the Tomato Juice on Su Chen's face and body, Su Zhenxing grew angrier the more he looked. He lowered his voice and snapped.
"Su Chen, you rebellious son!"
"What the hell are you doing?!"
"Since you weren't hurt at all, why did you put on this whole act?! Is it fun?!"
Su Chen was not intimidated in the slightest. He glared at Su Zhenxing and roared back in a low voice.
"What?! What?!"
"Even if I'm not hurt, it's a fact that these four beat me!"
"They didn't just beat me—they cursed at me too!"
"I'm going to deal with them now. Am I wrong?!"
"If you think I'm wrong, then go out there and expose me!"
"Go on! Go!"
"Let's see where you'll put your face then!"
At first, Su Zhenxing trembled with anger at Su Chen's utter lack of remorse.
But then, Su Zhenxing reconsidered.
Su Chen had a point.
These four brats had insulted and beaten Su Chen. Although they had not caused any serious consequences—
Su Chen was not wrong for wanting to teach those four brats a lesson.
Still, Su Zhenxing was furious at Su Chen for making a fool of him. He decided that he would neither expose Su Chen's trick nor continue helping Su Chen vent his anger.
After all, if Su Zhenxing had known from the start that Su Chen was fine, he would not have bothered with this matter at all.
After all, children getting into scuffles was perfectly normal.
Su Zhenxing was so busy. Where would he find the time to concern himself with trivial fights between children?!
Meanwhile, the four middle-aged men, watching their sons get beaten until they could barely stand, finally could not bear to keep hitting them.
The four men threw aside their battered, miserable sons and entered the living room. They smiled ingratiatingly at Su Zhenxing, then glanced at Su Chen.
Seeing the blood on Su Chen's face and body, the four men finally felt more confident.
After all, their sons' injuries now looked much more serious than Su Chen's.
The four men apologized to Su Zhenxing with ingratiating smiles.
"Mr. Su, we're terribly sorry. It was because we failed to discipline them properly that these Little Bastards dared to do something so outrageous."
Then, the four men apologized to Su Chen with ingratiating smiles.
"Su Chen, we're sorry. It's Uncle's fault for failing to keep these Little Beasts in line. They actually dared to hit you!"
"Su Chen, look, we've already taught these Little Bastards a lesson. Please be magnanimous and forgive them!"
As they spoke, each of the four took out a card and handed it to Su Chen, still smiling ingratiatingly.
"Su Chen, there's two hundred thousand in each of these four cards. Consider it an apology from us uncles!"
Su Chen did not take them. They wanted to settle this with just two hundred thousand?!
Dream on!
Without even sparing the four men a glance, Su Chen continued rolling around on the floor, twisting and howling.
"It hurts so much! It hurts so much!"
"Just let me die! Let me die!"
"It hurts! It hurts!"
Su Zhenxing watched with a deep frown.
He naturally knew Su Chen was faking it.
He was angry that Su Chen did not know when to stop. Two hundred thousand was not bad, and Su Chen had not actually been hurt anyway.
But these four grown men did not know that!
They thought that not only was Su Chen dissatisfied with the two hundred thousand, but even Mr. Su was dissatisfied with it.
That made sense. The Su Family was the richest family in Hai City. How could they possibly care about a mere two hundred thousand?!
The four exchanged glances, gritted their teeth, and hardened their hearts.
Each of them took out another card, then said to Su Chen with fawning smiles.
"See, it was us uncles who were thoughtless."
"Su Chen, there's one million in each of these four cards. This is for you to recuperate."
"After all, those Little Bastards caused your injuries. Naturally, we should cover your recovery expenses."
"Su Chen, please accept this money for your recovery. Otherwise, we uncles won't be able to rest easy!"
Originally, Su Chen had wanted Liu Zhe and the other three to keep getting beaten.
But these people were offering far too much!
Money was just too sweet!
Forget it. For the sake of this little bit of money, he would let those pieces of trash off for now!
Besides, if the beating continued, someone might die.
Su Chen did not want a death on his hands!
Su Chen slowly stopped rolling and howling, finally quieting down.
Then he shot out his hand like lightning, snatched up all eight cards just as fast, and stuffed them into his pocket. Not a single one could be left behind.
Only then did Su Chen weakly say.
"Uncles, you're being too serious. This is all just something between us kids."
"It's nothing major!"
"You're being so polite!"
"I'm almost embarrassed!"
"Please, don't take this matter to heart!"
Su Zhenxing's eyelids twitched wildly.
Was Su Chen trying to rub salt in their wounds? He was not even pretending anymore?!
