Reborn not to be a simp, the school beauty's whole family goes crazy

Chen Dong watched the police car disappear into the distance, his heart filled with mixed emotions. He sighed again, "Let's go, Mengran, let's go home. What happened today was truly absurd."

Chu Mengran nodded, gently took Chen Dong's arm, and the two left the scene side by side.

Chu Mengran's heart felt like a runaway drum machine, the violent pounding making her eardrums ache, each beat pounding heavily on her nerves.

Her legs felt like they were filled with lead; every step she took was incredibly heavy as she mechanically followed behind Chen Dong.

The life-or-death scene just now kept replaying in her mind like a movie, and whenever she recalled it, fear would completely overwhelm her like a tidal wave.

Her eyes were filled with panic and lingering fear. The image of Chen Dong lying in a pool of blood involuntarily flashed through her mind. In an instant, she felt her world collapsing.

If Chen Dong were to meet with misfortune, she felt that her life would lose all meaning, and her future days would be plunged into an endless abyss of darkness, with no light to be found.

Finally, the two arrived at Chen Dong's door. Chen Dong's hands trembled slightly as he took out his key and inserted it into the lock. With a soft "click," the door slowly opened.

Inside, warm light streamed out. Chen Jianguo and Li Huazhen sat on the sofa, a lively variety show playing on the television, their laughter emanating from them.

But the moment their gaze fell upon Chen Dong and Chu Mengran, time seemed to freeze, their smiles vanished instantly, replaced by deep worry.

Chen Jianguo and Li Huazhen looked the two of them up and down, their brows furrowing more and more deeply.

Chen Dong and Chu Mengran were pale and solemn. Chen Dong's clothes were covered with specks of dust, indicating that he had just experienced a harrowing ordeal.

Li Huazhen was the first to come to her senses. Her voice was filled with undisguised concern as she asked anxiously, "Dongzi, Mengran, what's wrong? What happened?"

Chen Dong pursed his lips, his anger and frustration surging in his chest like a raging fire.

The fear and anger of being stabbed still lingered in his heart, making it difficult for him to calm down and answer immediately.

Upon seeing this, Chu Mengran's eyes reddened slightly, and her voice trembled a little. She quickly stepped forward and recounted the whole story to Chen Jianguo and Li Huazhen.

Her speech was somewhat hurried, and when she recounted the thrilling moment when Tao Hao charged at Chen Dong with a knife, her voice choked up and her eyes filled with tears, as if she had returned to that terrifying scene.

As Chen Jianguo and Li Huazhen listened to Chu Mengran's story, their expressions grew increasingly grim.

Chen Jianguo's face turned bright red, and the veins on his forehead bulged. He stood up abruptly from the sofa, his hands clenched into fists, his knuckles turning white from the force.

His chest heaved violently as he shouted, "This Tao Hao is absolutely audacious! He dares to injure someone with a knife in broad daylight! Does he have no respect for the law? He's trying to turn the world upside down!"

Li Huazhen was also furious, her eyes reddening and her voice trembling slightly: "This is too much! If Dongzi is hurt in the slightest, I will never forgive him! How can my precious son suffer such injustice!"

Chen Jianguo, still furious, paced back and forth before saying, "No, I'm calling the Public Security Bureau right now. They must handle this seriously and teach this kid a lesson so he knows the severe consequences of his actions!"

After saying that, he strode to the landline in the living room, quickly picked up the phone, and rapidly dialed a familiar number.

When the call was connected, Chen Jianguo's tone was serious and harsh, and every word seemed to be filled with anger.

"Hey, Lao Zhang, this is Chen Jianguo. Something terrible happened today—my son was attacked with a knife!"

"That's right, it's Tao Hao! No matter what his reasons are, this kind of heinous behavior cannot be tolerated and must be severely punished according to the law. He cannot be let off lightly!"

His voice echoed in the living room, filled with anger and authority, conveying his fury and determination as a father.

After hanging up the phone, Chen Jianguo's chest was still heaving violently, and the anger on his face did not diminish at all.

His eyes revealed a firm resolve, as if telling everyone that he would never let this matter go easily.

At this moment, Li Huazhen hurriedly walked to Chen Dong's side, her eyes full of worry and heartache. She gently placed her hands on Chen Dong's shoulders and carefully looked him over, as if trying to see through him.

"Dongzi, let Mom check you quickly. Are you hurt? Where are you hurt?"

Her voice was gentle yet urgent, her hands trembling slightly, as if afraid of missing any of her son's wounds.

Seeing his mother's anxious expression, Chen Dong felt a surge of warmth in his heart and cooperated by slowly taking off his shirt.

Li Huazhen's gaze swept over Chen Dong like a searchlight, scrutinizing every detail, from his shoulders to his arms and chest.

Only after confirming that her son had no injuries did she breathe a sigh of relief, her tense nerves finally relaxing, and the worry in her eyes gradually turning into relief.

Seeing this, Chen Jianguo felt a little relieved.

His tone was tinged with weariness and concern as he said to Chen Dong, "Dongzi, get dressed, take a hot shower, go to bed early, and get some rest. You scared us half to death today."

Li Huazhen also looked at Chu Mengran, a grateful smile on her face, and said gently, "Mengran, please take good care of Dongzi tonight. We are so grateful to have you here today, otherwise we really wouldn't know what to do."

Chu Mengran nodded quickly and said softly, "Auntie, don't worry, I will take good care of Dongzi. If Dongzi hadn't reacted quickly today, the consequences would have been unimaginable. I was also quite frightened."

Chen Dong nodded, turned around and went back to his bedroom to get a change of clothes, then dragged his somewhat tired body toward the bathroom.

Hot water, like fine rain, sprinkled on his body, and Chen Dong's tense nerves gradually relaxed, but the anger he felt towards Tao Hao still burned like a smoldering fire, difficult to extinguish.

He closed his eyes, letting the hot water wash over him, trying to wash away the day's fatigue and fear.

After taking a shower, Chu Mengran also went into the bathroom.

Chen Dong returned to his room, sat on the edge of the bed, and looked somewhat vacant.

Thinking back on what happened today, my thoughts are a jumbled mess.

The image of Tao Hao's madness kept flashing through his mind, filling him with both anger and a sense of helplessness.

A short while later, Chu Mengran finished her shower and quietly entered the room.

Her hair was still slightly damp, and she smelled faintly of shower gel.

She walked to the bedside, looked at Chen Dong with concern in her eyes, and asked softly, "Dongzi, how are you feeling? Are you still thinking about what happened today?"
