"Even if I need surgery, I’d first see if the other party is reasonable. Someone like you is very likely to stir up trouble, so there’s no way I’ll have any association with you."
Who’s going to take responsibility if he causes problems later?
Besides, Ji Yu had already made it clear before: stop coming to her with such troublesome matters.
"Ji Yu, I’ve said before, as long as you can fix my face, I’ll cooperate with you."
"So your idea of cooperation is using threats to make me surrender, is it?" Ji Yu found this situation truly absurd.
She finally understood—no matter how many things happen, he will never believe any of it is his fault.
"I didn’t threaten you."
At this point, if this doesn’t count as a threat, Ji Yu thought she had truly seen it all.
But she wasn’t afraid of such things to begin with.
"If you want to tear it down, then go ahead. We’ll see who loses more in the end."
She wasn’t without connections.
Wang Baiquan never imagined Ji Yu would react . As soon as he heard her words, he completely lost his temper.
"Fine, fine, fine! I want to see how long you can keep this stubborn act!"
With that, he issued an order, telling his people to take action immediately.
"Protect yourselves. Don’t get hurt. Leave everything else alone."
Ji Yu remained calm—she had expected something to happen.
When Lu Xingchen arrived, what he witnessed was utter chaos.
Seeing the red rage in the opponent’s eyes, and that the club was about to strike Ji Yu, he didn’t hesitate for a moment, stepping directly in front of Ji Yu.
Blood immediately trickled down his cheek.
Ji Yu stared in shock at what had just happened. "Lu Xingchen! Are you okay?"
The people around snapped out of it, and soon the police arrived at the scene.
"I’m okay, Yu. Don’t worry," Lu Xingchen said, even now trying to reassure Ji Yu.
God knows how Ji Yu felt in that moment.
She had already forgotten about Lu Xingchen, but seeing him risk everything to help her in this moment, she was undeniably touched.
"Don’t try to tough it out. I’ll take you to get properly treated right away." She was also furious about the situation with Wang Baiquan.
"Tian, stay here and cooperate with the police investigation. I’ll take Lu Xingchen for treatment first."
But they had all overlooked the fact that Lu Xingchen was a public figure, and this incident had immediately shot to the top of trending topics.
[Oh my God, that blow was way too brutal! How’s our idol doing now?]
[That person is horrible. But wasn’t our idol acting a bit unusually? He clearly didn’t have to step in at that moment.]
[Let’s wait for updates. No matter how much we speculate now, the outcome is the same.]
Clearly, people were still grappling with the matter.
Lu Xingchen’s phone was practically exploding with calls.
He knew this would spark a media storm and that answering those calls would only bring endless bombardment.
"Aren’t you taking any calls?"
"No need. It’s obviously my agent. They’ll handle this properly. Don’t worry, this definitely won’t end up affecting you," he reassured Ji Yu with a smile, even at this time.
Ji Yu felt a twinge of bitterness in her heart.
A suffocating feeling welled up inside her.
"You really shouldn’t have gotten involved in this, and now you’ve gotten yourself hurt because of me. I honestly don’t know how to make things right."
She felt deeply guilty, unsure of how to compensate him.
But Lu Xingchen, in stark contrast, seemed remarkably composed.
"Yu, don’t worry about my injuries or concern yourself with other people’s opinions. Just know I did all this willingly. Besides, without you, I wouldn’t be where I am today. So I’m more than willing to repay your kindness."
To him, Ji Yu had helped him countless times before. Seeing her , he simply couldn’t ignore it or stand idly by.
Ji Yu felt a strange mix of emotions, but with his words, doubting him would only make her seem self-absorbed. The source of this content ɪs novel⚑fire.net
"Regardless, you got hurt because of me this time. If anything comes up, just let me know; I’ll make sure to handle it. As for Wang Baiquan, don’t worry—there’s no way he’ll get away with this."
She wasn’t one to be easily pushed around. If she let this slide, who knows how many more people would come to cause trouble later.
Lu Xingchen couldn’t help but laugh upon hearing her words. "You haven’t changed a bit from before. Even with your memory gone, you’re still the same Yu."
Ji Yu knew what he was hinting at. "You’re trying to say I’ve got a bad temper, right? Honestly, I’m fine with normal people, but this guy is just too infuriating. He talks without thinking, and I really hate people like him."
And when people act out in medical settings, it’s no joke.
He had already gone to such extremes today—next time, it would only escalate further. Ji Yu wanted no future dealings with someone like him.
"Take a rest here for now. I’ll go check the situation outside. It looks like we’ll still need to give statements to the police later."
She wasn’t at fault, so she had no reason to fear anything.
Hearing this, Lu Xingchen smiled faintly. "Alright, go ahead. I’m not as bad off as you might think—I can take care of myself."
But deep down, there were unresolved emotions he couldn’t simply let go of.
As he watched Ji Yu walk away, his mind raced: why hadn’t he been this brave before? If he had acted sooner, would Ji Yu have never ended up with Gu Qixiao?
Feeling sorrow he couldn’t express, he knew not what to say.
Meanwhile, Ji Yu went straight to the police.
Wang Baiquan wanted to settle the matter amicably.
But Ji Yu turned him down flatly without even considering it. "Officer, please take them away. This incident was severe, and I have no idea what this person was thinking. But everything here is already a mess, and I cannot swallow my anger."
Since he’d already destroyed her property, this left no room for compromise.
Ji Yu’s stance made Wang Baiquan furious. "Ji Yu, trying to settle this was me throwing you a bone. You think you’re anything worth mentioning, daring to talk to me !"
Clearly, he was enraged.
But Ji Yu remained calm and indifferent. "I meant exactly what I said: no settlement."
