100 Days of Rebirth: The Loyal Dog of the Cold and Aloof Actress

The group of people stopped what they were doing when Ah-Xu arrived.

When Ah Xu saw Cheng Yan, he had two bodyguards go over and help him up.

Then there's Ye Mengtong. She broke free from the man with the flowered arm and quickly walked to Cheng Yan's side, asking worriedly, "How are you?"

Cheng Yan forced a smile. "It's nothing."

He even reached out and ruffled Ye Mengtong's hair.

Ah Xu, standing next to him, seemed a little guilty.

Sister Wan told me to keep an eye on the two of them, but I never expected that the young master would get into trouble while I was away.

So he turned his gaze to the group of people.

"Gentlemen, you are the first people to dare to cause trouble here."

Ah Xu took a few steps closer and continued, "There are surveillance cameras everywhere here. I've already called the police for what you just did."

Upon hearing this, the expressions on their faces changed.

"Also, you just hit the second young master of the Cheng family. With the Cheng family's status in Yuezhou, it would be very easy for them to make you disappear."

Ah-Xu wasn't threatening them; he was simply telling them the truth.

The three were originally thugs from other places. Because the casinos in Guangzhou were famous, they came to try their luck.

Unfortunately, I had bad luck and lost a lot of money that night.

They had been watching Cheng Yan and Ye Mengtong for a while, and had already observed that no one was following them, which led to the scene just now.

But who knew that this seemingly weak man was actually the young master of the Cheng family!

They were really unlucky.

They didn't know Cheng Yan, but they were very familiar with the Cheng family's reputation.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Cheng, we really didn't know."

The man in the lead apologized first, followed by the other two.

Cheng Yan was kicked hard; his ribs ached terribly, and he couldn't say a word.

Ah Xu noticed this and had his bodyguard take him to the hospital first.

Ye Mengtong glared at the group and then followed them away.

Ah Xu was not about to let them go, and when the police arrived, the three of them were taken away.

-

At the hospital, the doctor examined Cheng Yan, while Ye Mengtong waited anxiously outside, her fingers twisted together.

After a while, seeing the doctor come out, she quickly went over and asked, "How is he? Is it serious?"

"It's nothing serious, just soft tissue injury, no fracture. I'll have the nurse bring some pain medication later, and he'll be fine after taking it and resting."

After the doctor finished speaking, he gave a few instructions to the nurse next to him.

After hearing this, Ye Mengtong finally felt relieved. "Thank you, doctor."

"You're welcome. We'll bring some cold compresses later; applying them to him will make him feel better." The doctor nodded and smiled before leaving.

Ye Mengtong then pushed open the door and went in. Seeing Cheng Yan lying on the bed, she walked over and sat down on the chair next to him, saying with great heartache:

"Does it still hurt? You'll feel better after taking the medicine."

To be honest, this was the first time Cheng Yan had been injured like this since the incident in Country Y.

Seeing Ye Mengtong's furrowed brows, he found her strangely adorable. "I'm the one who's injured, not you. Why are you frowning?"

"You got hurt because of me, and I feel terrible about it."

Ye Mengtong lowered her head and made up a random excuse.

Cheng Yan felt less pain at this moment, so she laughed twice, but then the pain aggravated her wound, "Ouch!"

This sound made Ye Mengtong tense up again. "What's wrong? Is it hurting badly again?"

Seeing the girl's pale face contorted in pain, her eyes fixed on her wound, Cheng Yan's pupils flickered, and his heart pounded exceptionally fast.

The wound seemed to stop hurting instantly, but my whole body felt hot.

"It's nothing." Cheng Yan stared at her face, his throat tightening slightly.

Ye Mengtong didn't notice his strange behavior and simply said, "It must be because you laughed just now and aggravated your wound."

Cheng Yan didn't speak, he just kept looking at her profile.

"Never mind, I'll go find the nurse to get you your medicine. You wait here for me."

Before Cheng Yan could speak, Ye Mengtong turned and left.

Her hurried manner was quite at odds with her gentle and sweet appearance.

However, they are quite cute.

Cheng Yan's lips curved into a smile, her eyes fixed on the doorway.

The ward he was in was not a VIP ward, but a two-person room.

There was a curtain between the two hospital beds.

Just as Cheng Yan was still immersed in her emotions, a voice suddenly came from beside her.

"Second Young Master, how have you been lately?"

Cheng Yan's smile vanished instantly. She turned to look at the curtain beside her, where a figure stood. "Who are you?"

The man just stood there, not coming over. "Who I am isn't important. What's important is that I know what you want."

"What do I want?" Cheng Yan didn't react for a moment. "Do I even know you? How do you know what I want?"

"You don't know me, but it's enough that I know you, and I also know that thing inside your body."

The man's casual words caused Cheng Yan's expression to change drastically. He propped himself up on the bed to get up and pull back the curtains, but the man spoke again: "I advise you not to do this. Seeing me will not do you any good."

"Do you think I'm easily intimidated? This kind of threat has no effect on me."

Cheng Yan has never been one to play by the rules, and his personality is even more eccentric; he will do whatever he is told not to do.

The man didn't flinch at all, but casually added, "Aren't you afraid? Wasn't that girl afraid too?"

Upon hearing this, Cheng Yan abruptly stopped in his tracks as he was about to pull back the curtain.

After a few seconds of silence, he finally said, "What exactly do you want?"

Hearing this tone, the man smiled and said, "I don't want to do anything, I just want to make a deal with the second young master."

"A deal?" Cheng Yan seemed to have heard a joke. "The whole of Yuezhou knows that I, Cheng Yan, am an uneducated and incompetent man with no business acumen whatsoever. You want to do a deal with me? Are you out of your mind?"

Since he won't let us see his face, then he can just curse.

The man was indeed a bit stunned by the scolding, his eyes unfathomable. "Second Young Master, that's what people in Yuezhou are saying, but are you really willing to be talked about like that?"

"So what if I'm not happy? My eldest brother is now in charge of the Cheng family."

"So you just want to be overshadowed by Cheng Yu, watch him manage the Cheng Group and be admired by everyone, while you do nothing all day and become the good-for-nothing your father talks about?"

The word "trash" pierced Cheng Yan's heart. He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, "Say that again, you fucking idiot!"

The man sensed his anger and knew he had achieved his goal. "See, you're still unwilling. Besides, isn't your father dealing with Cheng Yu? Why don't you do it?"

"Once Cheng Yu dies, you will be the sole heir of the Cheng family. Even if you can't do anything, you will still be the only one in the Cheng family, and no one will dare to do anything to you. Isn't this what you've always wanted?"

The man's words were like a magic sound, every word precisely entering Cheng Yan's ears and playing on a loop.

Cheng Yan stared at the overhead light, her gaze gradually unfocused. "You mean, you're going to help me?"

"Yes, I'll help you, I'll help you take back the Cheng family!"

How do we seize it?

“I can’t tell you the specific plan right now, but I will if you agree to join forces with me,” the man said.

Cheng Yan closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his eyes were filled with coldness, and his expression was completely different from before. "Fine, I can agree to join forces with you, but the Cheng family is mine, and you are not allowed to touch it."

"Don't worry, I only want Cheng Yu. As for the Cheng family, I will naturally hand them over when the time comes."

“It’s not like I’m giving it away,” Cheng Yan turned to look at the shadow. “It was always mine.”
