Chapter 202 Arrogant Xue Can

After calming herself down, Zhao Yanan took a deep breath, declined the maid's assistance, and walked into the ward with a slight limp.

When Chu Yuxuan saw his wife enter, he was momentarily taken aback and exclaimed, "Nannan, what are you doing here?" Zhao Yanan lowered her head, walked to the bedside, extended her hand, and asked, "Are you alright?"

A pale smile spread across Chu Yuxuan's face as he took Zhao Yanan's hand. "I'm fine… Sit down. Your foot still hurts; why are you running around?"

Chu Muhan wiped the tears from her face, not wanting to be a third wheel. She glanced at Zhao Yanan and said, "Yuxuan, I will definitely help you," before striding out of the ward.

Zhao Yanan fixed her gaze on Chu Yuxuan's face, her mind filled with the scenes Chu Yuxuan had described earlier, sending shivers down her spine.

This man, who clearly harbors such deep pain, conceals it beneath a facade of frivolity. How much effort must he have exerted to silently endure such torment behind that mask?

Thinking of Chu Yuxuan's cheeky smile when he teased her, his timely support in times of difficulty, and his efforts to help her with her psychological issues, Zhao Yanan's eyes welled up once more.

Chu Yuxuan reached up to wipe away the tears from her eyes and gently asked, "Did you hear what I just said?"

Zhao Yanan sniffled and remained silent.

"Do you feel sorry for me?"

Zhao Yanan still did not respond but picked up a piece of clothing and draped it over Chu Yuxuan.

"Nannan, I actually wanted to tell you before, but I never had the chance…" Chu Yuxuan said with a bitter smile, "Look at you, crying doesn't suit you at all… You really do feel sorry for me?"

Zhao Yanan looked at him, paused, and sobbed, "I don't know… I just… I feel so terrible… Yuxuan, why did you have to go through all this? Why did it have to be you?"

"I don't know either… but I will find out eventually," Chu Yuxuan said with a smile. "Alright, stop crying. I'm not dead yet."

Zhao Yanan gave him a disdainful glance and said, "You're annoying…"

Then, she took Chu Yuxuan's hand earnestly and said, "Yuxuan, is there anything I can do to help you? I want to help you as you've always helped me, to treat your psychological trauma… I don't want you to continue suffering."

Chu Yuxuan felt a warmth in his heart. "Okay, let's live together from now on. Supporting each other and sticking together every day will surely help us both with our psychological issues."

Zhao Yanan's cheeks flushed red, and she did not respond.

Chu Yuxuan smiled, sensing that it was a good moment to stop, and asked, "By the way, who told you I was here?"

Zhao Yanan shook her head. "No one. I happened to run into that big guy… Shuhan is also in this hospital."

"Ah?" Chu Yuxuan was caught off guard.

Zhao Yanan took a deep breath. "She was beaten, but I…"

Before she could finish, Lao Wu rushed into the ward, his eyes staring blankly at Zhao Yanan. He anxiously asked, "Where is she?" Chu Yuxuan was once again caught off guard.

Recalling Lao Wu's odd behavior over the past two days, it seemed to have started the night Jin Shuhan called him. At that time, Lao Wu had been right beside him.

Zhao Yanan was also confused and looked at Lao Wu, then back at Chu Yuxuan.

"Which ward is she in?" Chu Yuxuan asked.

"Upstairs, 702."

With that, Lao Wu hurriedly ran out.

"What's wrong with him?" Zhao Yanan asked, puzzled.

Chu Yuxuan did not explain and, feeling exhausted, got out of bed. "Nannan, your foot isn't suitable for walking right now. Stay here, I'll go check."

Zhao Yanan shook her head, insisting on going with him.

When Lao Wu reached the upper floor, Xue Can and Zhou Jie, that shameless couple, were in the ward, with an old police officer standing at the door.

Seeing Xue Can, Lao Wu's mind went blank for a moment. Ignoring the old police officer's questions, he pushed him aside and charged into the ward.

Jin Shuhan was lying on the bed, tightly wrapped in a blanket, her eyes filled with fear as she looked at Xue Can. When she saw Lao Wu enter, she was momentarily stunned, then widened her eyes and shouted, "What are you doing here? Get out! Go away!"

Lao Wu's breathing grew heavy. He took a step towards the bed, but Jin Shuhan shouted, "Don't come near! Get out! I don't want to see you!"

Xue Can looked at Chu Yuxuan, the blonde foreign bodyguard, with a hint of curiosity. He wondered why Lao Wu was so agitated. Could it be… that he's involved with Jin Shuhan?

With this thought, Xue Can's gaze became even more mocking. "Hey, you're Jin Shuhan's friend, right? Sorry, I was in a bad mood yesterday and gave her a beating, haha… But I'm quite compassionate. She wasn't seriously injured. We're here to apologize sincerely to Jin Shuhan under the leadership of our righteous Director Wang. I'm sure she'll forgive me, hehe."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lao Wu's anger exploded. He swung his fist with force, hitting Xue Can's face hard, knocking him to the ground.

"I'm going to kill you!"

Lao Wu's eyes were filled with murderous rage. However, as he raised his foot to kick Xue Can, Director Wang behind him performed a joint lock and restrained him firmly.

Although this brilliant hacker relied more on his brains than brawn, he had fought alongside Chu Yuxuan for years, so an old police officer couldn't easily hold him back.

Lao Wu suddenly flipped over, effortlessly breaking free from the police officer's grip. As he brought his fist close to the officer's face, he stopped just in time. Despite his fury, he was not foolish enough to assault a police officer and quickly turned to charge at Xue Can!

Zhou Jie's boyfriend, overestimating his abilities or perhaps wanting to impress Xue Can, took a step forward but was kicked down by Lao Wu. The ward turned chaotic, with Jin Shuhan continuously shouting at Lao Wu, "Leave! I don't want to see you! Go away!"

Lao Wu ignored her, gritted his teeth, and advanced toward Xue Can, but was once again tightly restrained by Director Wang.

At that moment, Lao Si suddenly stormed in, brushing past Lao Wu. He grabbed Xue Can by the neck, pinning him against the wall, and with one hand, reached for the curved knife at his waist.

"Stop!" Chu Yuxuan's face darkened as he called off the commotion. If it had been a moment longer, Lao San's enormous fists would have certainly struck Director Wang's head.

This wasn't Mexico, and in broad daylight, some things could not be too reckless.

But after dark, what difference does it make whether it's reckless or not?
