After stopping being a simp, the school heartthrob cried and begged to get back together.

Chapter 51 How many bad things did you do for her?

Seeing Mu Xi injured, I was heartbroken.

Five years ago, my mother was lying in a hospital bed like this, very weak, even more so than Mu Xi is now.

I felt really helpless at that time.

No one can help me; I have to bear it all myself.

I suffer every day.

Unfortunately, I can't directly confront the person who hurt my mother.

Because I am weak.

Can only wait.

But I never expected that something like this would happen again as soon as I returned to Xinjing City.

Watching my dearest friend get hurt like this filled me with intense hatred.

How could I let them get away with this!

"Why are you crying all of a sudden?" Mu Xi's voice was slightly hoarse: "I'm fine, don't worry."

"How could everything be alright?" I wiped away my tears. "What exactly happened to Mu Xi?"

Mu Xi sighed, "I'm not quite sure either. Huo Xiao said Su Ran was threatened and intimidated, which caused her to have a nervous breakdown. He came to question me, but I didn't do anything like that. Then Su Ran's cousin came in and said he had a way to make me talk, and then..."

I frowned: "Did he bully you?"

“He wouldn’t dare in front of Huo Xiao,” Mu Xi explained. “He only hit me!”

I clenched my fist. "Huo Xiao just stood there watching?"

Mu Xi nodded.

I was furious: "I should have been even more ruthless!"

"Then Su Ran called Huo Xiao, and Huo Xiao went out. Su Ran's cousin started taking off my clothes, and that's when Huo Yi came in." Mu Xi didn't go into too much detail; her body was trembling as she spoke.

I hugged her and said, "It's okay, I'm here. I won't let them bully you."

"Shen Yan, don't do anything foolish for me. Huo Xiao is Old Madam Huo's darling. You can't touch him." Mu Xi was still worried about me.

I sneered, "I don't care whose darling he is, Huo Xiao, Su Ran, Su Ran's cousin, I will make them pay the price!"

Mu Xi still wanted to persuade me.

"Mu Xi, I need to say one thing to you: do you want to divorce him?" I asked.

"Yes." Mu Xi nodded.

"Then you should focus on recovering. Leave everything else to me." I comforted her. "You should rest well. I know the director of this hospital very well, and they will take good care of you."

"Okay." Mu Xi closed her eyes weakly, and I got up to leave after she fell asleep.

Come out of the ward.

Huo Yubai stood at the door.

"Why are you still here?" I asked in surprise.

"Waiting for you." Huo Yubai's voice was slightly cool: "How is he?"

"The injuries on your face will take at least a month to heal, and you have bruises all over your body." I looked at him coldly. "Thank you for today. I know Huo Xiao's status in the Huo family. If you let Huo Yi stay, I'm afraid he'll resent you, right?"

"Men don't concern themselves with such things." Huo Yubai looked at me intently with his deep eyes: "Shall I take you home?"

"No need, I have things to take care of, you can go back first." I walked past him.

Huo Yubai stood still.

I thought for a moment, then turned around and walked back: "Huo Yubai, there are some things I don't need to say but you understand. We haven't had any contact since graduating from high school. If it weren't for Mu Xi, I wouldn't have contacted you. I'll remember this favor. If you need anything in the future, just ask. But let's try not to bother each other on ordinary days, okay?"

Huo Yubai's dark eyes were unfathomable: "You don't want to see me?"

"I don't want to see your face." I said helplessly, "Huo Yubai, please spare me. You know better than anyone who I'll think of when I see you."

Huo Yubai pursed his lips: "Okay, I understand."

"Thank you for your understanding." After clarifying things, I felt much more at ease.

I didn't say anything more and turned to leave.

Huo Yubai stared blankly at my retreating figure, lost in thought.

It seems like everything is irreversible.

I walked out of the hospital.

Xia Zhe drove up and stopped in front of me.

"Xia Zhe, aren't you in Haicheng?" I asked in surprise.

"I was worried about leaving you alone in Xinjing City, so I came here specifically." Xia Zhe opened the car door: "Get in, the person has been found."

"Do others know?" I asked.

"The news has been blocked," Xia Zhe said.

I nodded. That's good.

Half an hour later.

Xia Zhe led me to a residential building.

This area is about to be demolished and looks very messy.

The hallway was dimly lit, and the cement stairs were dilapidated, giving it a precarious feel.

Go up to the fifth floor.

Two bodyguards stood in front of a door.

"This is President Shen," Xia Zhe introduced them.

"Hello, Mr. Shen." They looked at me respectfully.

I waved gently and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

They opened the door.

I went inside.

Xia Zhe followed behind.

In the living room, Su Ran's cousin was kneeling on the ground, his face bruised and swollen from the beating.

He heard the noise, looked up, and stared at me blankly.

The bodyguard next to him slapped him: "What are you looking at!"

He lowered his head.

I walked over and asked, "What's your name?"

He didn't dare to look up: "Lian Zheng."

"What is your relationship with Su Ran?" I asked.

Xia Zhe brought me a folding book.

I sat down.

“I’m her cousin,” Lian Zheng replied.

"How many bad things have you helped her do?" I looked at Lian Zheng coldly.

Lian Zheng feigned ignorance: "What?"

The bodyguard next to him slapped him again: "Stop playing dumb, behave yourself!"

Lian Zheng was stunned by the beating and became honest: "Actually, I didn't do anything bad. I just helped Su Ran threaten people to keep them away from Huo Xiao. She would give me some benefits in return, that's all."

"What about Mu Xi?" I asked coldly.

“That bitch…” Lian Zheng started with a curse word.

I gave the bodyguard a taste of his own medicine.

The bodyguard stepped forward, pried open Lian Zheng's mouth, took a pair of pliers, and pulled out one of his teeth.

"Ahhh!" Lian Zheng screamed in pain.

"If you dare to speak rudely again, I'll pull out all your teeth," I threatened coldly.

Lian Zheng's mouth was full of blood, and he had already become honest. "I'll talk, I'll talk. Mu Xi is the daughter of the Mu family and the granddaughter-in-law personally approved by Old Madam Huo. She is indeed more troublesome than other women. Su Ran asked me to cause trouble for her, but she has resolved the situation several times."

The thought of Mu Xi walking a tightrope these past few years makes me sad.

"Later, Su Ran asked me to arrange for someone to pretend to see her. When Huo Xiao found out, he went crazy. He was convinced that Mu Xi had done it, so he had Mu Xi taken to a place and then..." Lian Zheng pursed his lips.

"And then what?" I frowned.

"I didn't do anything. I just overheard that Huo Xiao tortured Mu Xi for three days and three nights." Lian Zheng said awkwardly, "When she came out, that woman's legs were weak."

I know what Huo Xiao did—forced himself on me during our marriage—but Mu Xi didn't tell me.

This scumbag!

“Pry his mouth open.” I stood up and took a bottle of medicine out of my pocket: “You’re in luck. Our lab collaborates with prisons abroad. It’s specially made for heinous criminals to prevent them from having children.”
