23 Chapter 23; What's the meaning of this?

"We will relinquish the rights to the land in the Southern District since it's the most desired piece of land, we can negotiate and at least share the profits since it's the government that wants to build their projects there. " He explained as they arrived at the 30th floor.

They exited and walked through the hallway on their left side as it was divided into two sides and in the middle, there was an open space but fenced with grills.

The VIP room was at the further end, they got closer but could hear loud bangs coming from inside the ward.

They rushed in and saw the big men roughening each other up while Zhan Hong and Mu Rong were minced in between. They had tried to stop them from fighting but it was unstoppable.

Mu Yang was strong as his family was also engaged in Military affairs, he had studied in a military academy so he had overpowered them and they were tightly entangled together.

"What's the meaning of this?" Zhan Ping's thunderous voice echoed in the entire ward glaring at the big men bawling like boys.

Zhan Zhei hurriedly shoved them all away untangling them but it wasn't as easy as he thought, these men were going hard against each other.

Everyone was full of bruises and their faces were bleeding.. this could tell the kind of showdown that went down in the room for that short period of time.

"What kind of nonsense is this? How can you all grown men behave like teenagers? so ridiculous!" Zhan Ping was fuming mad as he pointed his index finger at them reprimanding them harshly.

His entire face was contorted with rage while he furrowed his eyebrows in anger. What kind of a showdown was this? The media was everywhere, what if they got caught on the cameras?

Everyone halted whatever they were doing and turned around to face the person who had just yelled at them.

The two women were huddled together in a corner at a distance, they couldn't separate the four grown men and they couldn't make any noise, this will be a hot topic and a scandal that might ruin their family's reputation for good.

Zhang Zhei who had gotten into the middle of the scuffle, pushed all of them away as he assisted Mu Rong who was already on the floor after getting several hits.

There was an empty bed aligned at the farther end of the wall and leaving a space between the two beds.

He assisted Mu Rong to the bed and let him sit down, he turned around and glanced at the men who were clenching their jaws and giving each other murderous eyes.

' Why does it seem like, there is a hidden animosity between them that was way more terrific than what was happening now?' he frowned before walking back.

"You guys are not only ridiculous, but instead of solving the pending issue, you are busy fighting.. can't you direct your extra energy on the important matters?" He approached Zhan Hong and assisted him to the bed Mu Rong was sitting on.

Their shirts were button-less, and others were torn, they appeared like stray kittens who have been mischievous.

"Look at the way you all are! Not only do you look like a ruffian but a gangster! What kind of image is this you are trying to portray? Don't you know if a nurse walks in and saw such prestigious families having a scuffle would ruin our good name and reputation? So useless!" Zhan Ping wasn't done yet reprimanding them.

The entire ward was dead silent and only Zhan Ping's furious voice echoed while they glanced at him embarrassed. He was way younger than them but he harshly berated them with no filter.

He walked out exiting the wardroom to calm himself down, things were getting out of hand, how can these two families that were on each other's necks sit down and come up with a solution? He walked along the hallway to get some fresh air but met a nurse halfway.

"Nurse, are you occupied?" He walked over and approached her as she was pushing a huge hospital trolley toward the elevator in the south direction.

"No I'm not, how may I help you Mr?" She halted her hospital trolley and locked the wheels before raising her bowed head and glancing at the man who stopped her.

"There are some injured patients who need their bruises addressed, I don't know if you can help..." He gazed at her batch and saw her name, she was from the Gu family. It was also a big and rich family.

"All right, let's go." She unlocked the wheels turned the hospital trolley around and pushed it toward the VIP room, she still had everything necessary for addressing wounds so long as they didn't require stitches.

He accompanied her as they walked back into the VIP ward, the nurse was surprised as she opened her mouth wide forming an O.
