Chapter 295: Chapter 288: Watch Your Tone

Bai Yiran came back after finishing the call and saw Leng Yichen’s stern expression as he hung up, "What happened?"

"Xiao Lang is injured, he’s in the hospital."

"How could this happen!" Bai Yiran wavered slightly, and Leng Yichen quickly reached out to support her. "Don’t worry, Sister Liu said Xiao Lang is fine, he just has a cut on his forehead."

Hearing Leng Yichen say this, Bai Yiran relaxed a little, but her heart sank again at his next words.

"Xiao Mei and Xiao Lang had an argument and fell down the stairs, leading to profuse bleeding. She’s in critical care now."

Wu Chengzu watched as Leng Yichen and Bai Yiran hurriedly left the restaurant, until their figures were no longer visible.

"Mr. Wu?" The man sitting at the same table realized Wu Chengzu was distracted and reminded him with some displeasure.

"Oh!" Wu Chengzu snapped back to attention and looked at the man, his eyes glimmering, "Please speak."

The man cleared his throat seriously and continued, "The boss wants me to tell you that this batch needs to be completed on time. But safety and confidentiality are paramount, our boss doesn’t want any trouble!"

The man’s voice lacked strength, somewhat like borrowing authority from a powerful figure, which made Wu Chengzu frown slightly. He suddenly grabbed the chopsticks next to him, pinned the man’s hand on the table, and drove the chopstick through his hand.

"Ah!" Instantly, a sharp, painful yell echoed through the restaurant.

Wu Chengzu held the chopstick impaled in the man’s hand with one hand, gripping the man’s collar with the other, "Mind your tone when you speak to me next time!"

Sweating coldly, the man looked at Wu Chengzu in fright, his lips opening and closing as if trying to say something, but the sheer menace from Wu Chengzu intimidated him into silence.

Wu Chengzu pulled the chopstick out, and the man screamed once more. He stood up, casually tossing the chopstick onto the man’s face.

The man lay powerlessly against the table, his eyes on Wu Chengzu like he was facing a demon.

As Wu Chengzu got up to leave, the occupants of the other three tables in the restaurant also stood up, following Wu Chengzu out.

Chen Bei walked behind Wu Chengzu and quietly asked, "Boss, was Leng Yichen’s presence here by chance or on purpose?"

Wu Chengzu looked straight ahead without responding, only glanced towards the back of the restaurant, then led his party out in a grand exit.

The restaurant owner had already hidden under the cashier’s desk in fear. He never imagined that such an incident would happen in his little private kitchen. Just as he was about to secretly take out his phone to call the police, a figure appeared in front of him.

"Um..." The restaurant owner hurriedly put down his phone, "I didn’t do anything, please don’t hurt me..."

Chen Bei looked at the restaurant owner with a smile, but in the owner’s eyes, that smile was extraordinarily terrifying.

When Leng Yichen and Bai Yiran arrived at the hospital, Xiao Lang was sitting on the hospital bed, holding Bai Yiran’s ring in his hand.

Upon seeing Bai Yiran and the others arrive, tears welled up in Xiao Lang’s eyes, his little mouth pouting, and his forehead still bandaged, looking as pitiful as could be.

"Xiao Lang! Are you alright?" Bai Yiran rushed over, grabbing Xiao Lang’s head and inspecting him closely.

Xiao Lang looked at Bai Yiran, then at Leng Yichen who followed behind, and finally burst into tears, "Mom... Aunt Xiao Mei is a thief, she wanted to steal your ring... I just wanted to get it back, I didn’t push her, she fell by herself..."

The scene of Xiao Mei’s heavy bleeding really terrified Xiao Lang, and if not for Sister Liu and the bodyguards, Xiao Lang might have been strangled by the furious Xu Juan and others.

"It’s okay, it’s not Xiao Lang’s fault." Bai Yiran hugged him, "Don’t be afraid, Mommy is here!"

Suddenly there was a commotion outside the ward, "Bai Yiran! I’m not done with you today..."
