Chapter 221: Chapter 221 Trembling

Seeing Yang Chen suddenly appear in front of her, Lin Ruoxi's breath almost caught in her throat. But then, her cheeks flushed, almost dripping with water, as she glared at Yang Chen with a mix of joy and annoyance, coldly huffing, "So, you're fine."

"Thanks for your concern, dear wife. Although I ran into a bit of trouble, I'm fine," Yang Chen said with satisfaction.

I'm done for! Yanyan blabbered about someone being shot or not, and this scoundrel is perfectly fine! Oh no, oh no, he must have heard everything I said just now. How am I supposed to face him in the future? I'm so embarrassed!

The more Lin Ruoxi thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt. Earlier, after receiving that strange call from Xu Zhihong, she had called Cai Yanyan, who worked at the police station, seeking help, as she had no clue whatsoever. Cai Yanyan had just received news from the Yuan and Fang families, asking the police station to send personnel to the Second Hospital to provide assistance, and had only told Lin Ruoxi some related information.

Lin Ruoxi only heard Cai Yanyan mention someone being shot, so she rushed over immediately, but she didn't realize, in her haste, that she hadn't even clarified who was shot, causing the scene just now.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Lin Ruoxi noticed Yang Chen's strange smile and felt uncomfortable with the aggressiveness in his eyes.

Yang Chen took a step forward, causing Lin Ruoxi to immediately step back, watching Yang Chen warily.

"I'm not going to eat you. Come on, come closer. In appreciation of your concern for me and your worries, I'm reluctantly giving you a hug for free. If you want a kiss too, that's also fine, but you'll have to let me give you one in return," Yang Chen said, opening his arms generously with a righteous expression.

The two nurses on the side, seeing this scene, chuckled as if watching a good show.

"Rogue!"

Being teased like this in front of others, Lin Ruoxi felt her ears burning red, glaring angrily at Yang Chen before turning and running off with her small bag.

Yang Chen looked frustrated. Why did she always call him that? It seemed like he needed to expand Lin Ruoxi's vocabulary for insults. Turning to the two small nurses, he said, "What are you giggling about? You scared my wife away!"

With that, ignoring the two nurses who looked innocent, Yang Chen dashed after her.

At the hospital entrance, Lin Ruoxi's red Bentley was parked there. Seeing her about to get in the car, Yang Chen took a quick step forward, blocking her.

Lin Ruoxi had now resumed her usual icy demeanor, staring at Yang Chen and saying, "Move aside."

"I will, but because of your concern for me, I think I should tell you why all this happened," Yang Chen said with a wry smile. It seemed he had overestimated his position in her heart. Just a simple joke and she was ready to turn her back on him.

Arriving at the entrance of the VIP ward, Yang Chen told Yuan Hewei and Fang Zhongping that the Redbud Society had already been notified, and they could mobilize all their forces to cooperate with the Palace Guards and the military to eradicate all Dongxing strongholds tonight. This made Fang Zhongping's eyes light up.

"Yang Chen, if this operation goes smoothly, you will be a great hero of Zhonghai!" Fang Zhongping said. "I think you should know that Tangtang was almost kidnapped by Dongxing's people several times before."

"Exactly, so I can understand why you're so excited," Yang Chen said.

Fang Zhongping exclaimed bitterly, "Dongxing's Zhou Guangnian has always wanted to wipe out his criminal evidence and use the power of the Palace to whitewash their illegal activities, but because I've always been against him, his lackeys couldn't infiltrate the Palace departments. So, he has been trying to threaten me by endangering Tangtang's safety. If his power weren't so complex, I would have dismantled all his strongholds long ago!"

Yang Chen chuckled, "So, Secretary Fang, you do have some sense of justice. I simply dislike the old man's actions and his constant troubles with me, which is why I chose to cooperate with you."

"Haha, it's not about having a sense of justice, but if you want to sit firmly in that seat and climb higher, it's not something you can achieve just by playing tricks. Climbing higher and sitting more firmly also don't come from rubbing shoulders with those dirty things. People are watching, and while I'm not a martyr willing to sacrifice everything for righteousness, at least I have a conscience. Dongxing's actions over the years are truly despicable," Fang Zhongping explained.

After finalizing plans with Yang Chen, Yuan Hewei, and Fang Zhongping, along with their bodyguards, left to deploy the specific battle plans.

Yang Chen entered the VIP ward, where Tangtang was standing by Yuan Ye's bed. Seeing Yang Chen enter alone, Tangtang looked up with a questioning expression.

"Tangtang, I have to leave now. You stay here tonight. There are many people outside protecting you, so you'll be safe," Yang Chen said.

"Uncle, I know tonight will be chaotic. Please take care of yourself too," Tangtang said with concern.

"Alright, then I'm leaving," Yang Chen said.

Just as Yang Chen was about to leave, Tangtang called out to him again.

"Uncle!" Tangtang pursed her lips and said, "Uncle, if Yuan Ye doesn't wake up... what should we do..."

"Don't say nonsense, stop overthinking," Yang Chen reached out and touched Tangtang's forehead. "If Yuan Ye dares not to wake up, I won't let him off."

"Yeah! I won't let him off either!"

At that moment, unnoticed by anyone, lying on the bed, Yuan Ye, who had been motionless, moved the tip of his left finger slightly.
