One of the men sneered and said, "I dare to hit you. So what? Youâre just an illegitimate child who canât see the light of day. Coming back without keeping a low profile and having such a bold attitudeâif you donât get taught a lesson, you wonât know your place."
Saying this, he threw a punch at Han Yiâs head with incredible speed that ordinary people would find hard to dodge. But to Han Yi, such a punch posed no significant threat.
Bam. Han Yi grabbed the manâs fist, pulled him forward, swung his body around, and slammed him hard onto the ground. The man spat out a mouthful of blood and lay still on the ground.
Xie Lingzhiâs family was surprised with their mouths wide open; Han Yi actually beat up the Xie Familyâs eldest grandsonâthey couldnât swallow this grievance.
A crowd of seven or eight men and women rushed forward all at once.
Inside the room, Liang Hongmei and Shen Qing saw that Han Yi alone couldnât possibly face seven or eight people. The men were one thing; with a few blows, they could be handled, but those women, if they couldnât beat him, theyâd grab the chance to pinch and scratch him. Han Yi dared not use too much force, fearing something might happen and they wouldnât have reason on their side.
Seeing this, the two couldnât stand by and instructed Xiao Wan to stay put in the ward, "Whatever you do, do not leave the room, got it?"
"Mom, donât go out. You canât beat them," Xiao Wan said, worried and anxious, seeing that her two mothers didnât listen to her and each grabbed a mop and broom and went out, leaving her unable to help.
After Liang Hongmei and Liang Qian came out, they yelled while hitting those people with objects, "Hurry and come over, have a look. In broad daylight, they dare to bring a group to bully us, widows and orphans."
The surrounding neighbors, who were watching, couldnât tell who was at fault initially, but upon hearing what they said, quickly came forward to intervene.
At this moment, several nurses and doctors came over, accompanied by Mei Shuqing, who had just finished a phone call.
Seeing Xie Lingzhi and the Xie Family members, Mei Shuqingâs eyebrows furrowed as he yelled angrily, "Sister-in-law, as if the house isnât chaotic enough, you want the Xie Family and Xiao Chi to end up in jail? Go ahead and keep fighting then."
"Second brother, heâs a heartless thing, trying to send Xiao Chi to prison," Xie Lingzhi retorted angrily, pointing at Han Yi.
"The person you call heartless was nearly killed by your son. What do you think your son is then?" Mei Shuqing doesnât care about her seniority and directly chastised.
Being scolded, Xie Lingzhiâs face turned red, with a stuck feeling, "Second brother, even you believe him. Our Xiao Chi said he didnât do it. From beginning to end, he knew nothing about it. Heâs being framed by this ingrate."
"Do you have evidence? If you do, present it to the police directly. Why create a ruckus at the hospital? Go home at onceâif the hospital calls security, youâll be the ones embarrassed." Mei Shuqing did not believe her words.
"Han Yi, wait and see, we havenât settled this. If you donât drop the case, I wonât let you live peacefully for a day, hmph." Xie Lingzhi realized they couldnât do anything to Han Yi with Mei Shuqing present. Initially, she intended to intimidate Han Yi, hoping heâd back down. Now she found her plan somewhat reckless.
Having embarrassed her own family, she couldnât explain things when she returned, so she had no choice but to leave with her people.
Seeing they had left, Lin Wan quickly opened the door and came out, anxiously checking Han Yi for any new injuries.
Han Yi held her hand, comforting her, telling her not to worry, "Iâm fine. You and Mom should go inside. Iâll chat with Uncle."
"Alright."
"Today must have been a fright for the two of you. Donât worry, she wonât cause any stir. Xiao Wan, quickly take your mom inside. Xiao Yi and I will stay out here," Mei Shuqing assured Liang Hongmei and Shen Qing.
"Understood, Godfather," Lin Wan replied, knowing the matter would escalate. Xie Lingzhi, aware Han Yi had reported Mei Langchi, surely wouldnât let it go.
Liang Hongmei entered the room, patting her chest and saying, "My goodness, scared me to death. Theyâre so bold, daring to cause trouble right in the hospital as if even the police canât intimidate them."
"These people, relying on their abilities, act lawlessly," remarked Shen Qing, witnessing the all too common audacity here.
"Xiao Wan, why donât we ask the doctor later how long itâs going to take to get discharged? Can we recuperate at home? After todayâs incident, who knows if those people will come again," Liang Hongmeiâs main concern is her daughter. Being heavily pregnant, she most fears any unexpected mishappenings.
"Okay, Mom, later when Han Yi comes in, weâll ask the doctor," Lin Wan said, also unwilling to stay at the hospital, feeling uncomfortable with so many people tending to her.
Moreover, she feels her body has recovered, and she senses the baby is growing well inside her.
