Not at Night, Not During the Day Either

He Yi forced a smile.

"Doctor! You mean..."

"Don't cling to any false hope!"

"That's right. Your little brother is ruined! And there's no way to repair him!"

"The tissue inside has been completely shattered!"

"Your erectile tissue is now no different from porridge without a single grain of rice!"

"It looks like there's some volume, but in reality..."

The doctor didn't finish. Instead, he looked at He Yi and gave him a you-know-what-I-mean look.

In an instant, He Yi deflated like a punctured ball, his whole body going limp.

He slumped onto the hospital bed, eyes empty, with no desire to live left in them.

His little brother was gone. He truly couldn't see the point of living anymore.

He'd discovered that something seemed wrong with his engine only last night, when he'd started feeling a little better and wanted to reward himself with a round.

After that, no matter what he tried, his bean sprout showed no sign of changing.

He'd panicked on the spot!

Without another word, he'd told his parents to take him to the hospital for a thorough examination.

Before the results came back, he'd still clung to a shred of hope. Maybe it was only temporary impotence?

But the doctor's words now had snuffed out the last of that hope.

He Yi's parents, standing nearby, looked utterly grim at the sight of their son.

He Yi was their only son.

Now that he was ruined, it was as if their family line had come to an end.

That was something they couldn't bear. After all, having another child took a great deal of energy.

He Yi's mother, Li Yuan, shouted:

"That damned little brat Qin Chen! He actually went and hit him that hard!

"No way!

"I'm going to file a complaint against Muyang Third Middle School and demand they cripple Qin Chen too. Otherwise, we won't let this go!"

At that, He Wu looked at her as if she were an idiot and scolded her:

"That's a woman's foolish opinion!"

"I told you to uninstall those Tomato novels from your phone!"

"What kind of garbage are you reading every day?"

"Where do you think we are? You think a complaint will do any good?"

"I just got word that the little brat Qin Chen won first place in his Class Battle!"

"Do you think Muyang Third Middle School would give up a genius like him to help us?"

"Your husband is only a Body Tempering Fifth Layer Martial Artist, not someone in the Star Vein Realm!"

"And another thing!"

"This world doesn't give a damn about who's in the right! The one with the bigger fist is the one who matters!"

He Wu's words rattled off like machine-gun fire, cursing Li Yuan up one side and down the other.

Seeing her husband like this, Li Yuan couldn't help feeling afraid. She instinctively shrank her neck.

But when she saw He Yi sitting on the bed, completely lifeless, her temper flared right back up.

"Then what do you suggest we do?"

"What are we supposed to do about Yi'er's situation?"

"Our son's been hurt, and instead of thinking about how to deal with his enemy, you're just standing here making snide remarks!"

"Not working at night is one thing, but you're just as useless during the day! Have you got no backbone?"

At that, He Wu was struck dumb. His face flushed with anger as he pointed at Li Yuan.

"You... You..."

Seeing him like that, Li Yuan looked even more disdainful and curled her lip.

"Good-for-nothing!"

As He Wu's anger continued to rise, the doctor immediately made himself scarce. After saying goodbye, he hurried out.

He had no desire to get involved in a family quarrel like this.

He Wu's fingers trembled. In the end, he said nothing, forcing down his anger instead.

He lowered his voice.

"I didn't say I wouldn't think of something! We just need to take our time and plan carefully!"

"Take our time and plan carefully? That's all you ever say!"

"What else can you say besides that?"

"I must've been blind to marry you in the first place..."

As He Yi listened to his parents arguing, his eyes showed not the slightest reaction. They remained like a stagnant pool.

Suddenly, he jumped off the bed and charged toward the window like a madman.

The sudden turn of events left He Wu and Li Yuan stunned for a moment. Then their pupils contracted sharply.

They were on the twenty-seventh floor!

In the time it took He Wu and Li Yuan to freeze, He Yi had already reached the window. Without a second thought, he climbed up.

In the blink of an eye!

He Wu's Body Tempering Fifth Layer strength was on full display. He blurred to the window and yanked He Yi back just as one of his legs was about to go over.

He Yi slammed hard into the floor with a muffled thud.

But he scrambled right back up and tried to run for the window again.

He Wu slapped He Yi hard across the face, sending him flying.

Another muffled thud rang out as He Yi hit the floor again.

Li Yuan immediately rushed over and hugged him, wailing:

"My son! What are you doing? How could you do something so foolish?"

Then she turned on He Wu.

"Why did you hit our son so hard? He's your own flesh and blood!"

"Shut up!!"

Li Yuan was about to say more when He Wu roared at her.

His voice shook the whole room. Even some people outside heard the noise.

But they only glanced over with curious looks. None of them went to investigate.

Thanks to He Yi's attending doctor generously sharing the details, they all more or less knew what was going on inside.

So it was only natural for things to get a little loud!

Inside the hospital room, He Wu fixed He Yi with a dark look. He suppressed his anger and spoke in a low voice:

"What? That little setback is enough to make you want to die?"

"It's only a couple of taels. What's there to make a fuss about?"

Using death to solve a problem is what cowards do. It's running away from your responsibilities!"

"Instead of wasting time thinking about dying, you'd be better off figuring out how to get revenge and how to kill Qin Chen!"

At the words "kill Qin Chen," some of the light returned to He Yi's eyes. But it quickly faded again, and he said quietly:

"I'm no match for him!"

"If you can't beat him, can't you get someone else to do it?"

"If a son can't beat him, can't his father?"

!!!

He Yi abruptly lifted his head and looked at He Wu. Hope crept into his voice as he asked:

"Dad! You mean..."

"I'll find a chance to help you kill Qin Chen!"

"But I don't want to see you act so cowardly ever again!"

He Wu's eyes turned vicious. He'd originally planned to take his time and slowly figure out how to deal with Qin Chen.

After all, people couldn't just kill each other at will in Muyang City. Enforcers kept the peace.

But He Yi's attempt to take his own life had changed his mind.

He could see that Qin Chen had become a knot in his son's heart. If he didn't do something, He Yi might try to end his life again.

Since that was the case, he had no choice but to take a risk and find a chance to kill Qin Chen.

The consequences would be dire if the enforcers caught him, but for his son's sake, he couldn't afford to care about that now.

"Qin Chen, blame yourself for going too hard on Yi'er!"

"You'll pay for it with your life!!"

A dense killing intent glittered in He Wu's eyes, and at the same time, he began plotting how to deal with Qin Chen.

He had to make absolutely sure there was no chance of failure!
