Chapter 368: Third Master and Sixth Master Joining Forces, Swiftly and Ruthlessly Laying It into Trash

The Pear Garden…

Fu Chen sized up the surroundings. Qian Jiang had just relayed what had happened to him, so he already had some understanding of the current situation.

Many people didn’t know Fu Chen, let alone have seen his true appearance. Old Master Fu was famous for being a handsome man when he was young. His two elder brothers and one elder sister were also not bad, so he was naturally not bad.

He looked at Ma Yincui’s face. It was extremely red and swollen from the slaps. Old Madam Fu had indeed hit her hard.

She’s already at this age, yet she can still jump around and slap someone?

“Why are you looking at me?” Old Madam Fu rubbed her wrist. “I called you. You took too long to come and caused an old woman like me to have no one to rely on. I was bullied very miserably.”

“Qian Jiang!” Fu Chen suddenly said.

“Third Master.” Qian Jiang walked over obediently.

“I asked you to protect them. What were you doing? How could you let her hit anyone and cause her to be scolded? What were you doing?” Fu Chen pretended to be angry.

Qian Jiang lowered his head. “I’m sorry.”

Old Madam Fu was dumbfounded. I wanted to settle scores with this rascal, but he actually pulled Qian Jiang out to be his scapegoat.

His brain works fast.

“In the future, if she needs to do anything…” Fu Chen raised his eyebrows.

“I definitely won’t let Old Madam tire herself out.” Qian Jiang had followed Fu Chen for a long time after all, so he readily played along with him.

Old Madam Fu harrumphed coldly. Little rascal.

“Hurry up and settle this matter. These two people were too loud, and their noise gave me a headache.” The manager brought Old Madam Fu another cup of tea. Anyway, since Fu Chen was here, she could sit down and watch the show in peace.

Fu Chen nodded. He looked straight at Ma Yincui. Because he was standing very close to her and was a head taller than her, when he looked down at her from above, his aura was domineering, even though his eyes were gentle.

“You came here to bring Huai Sheng back, right?” His tone was also gentle.

Ma Yincui took two steps back while Huang Jianhua rushed over. “Yes, we just want to bring our child back.”

“As Huai Sheng’s current guardian, Master Pudu once talked to you in private. He said it’s fine to bring Huai Sheng to check if he’s a match, but you need to buy Huai Sheng some insurance or provide him some money for it.”

Master Pudu was merciful. That child was lying in the hospital bed on his last breath, so his heart softened.

He had mentioned this to Fu Chen, and he had proposed to the parents that they give Huai Sheng money for insurance.

“He’s my child. It’s only right that I bring him home. We’ll take care of him in the future. Why do we need to do those things?!” Ma Yincui chuckled.

“That monk even asked us to give him money to buy insurance.

“I think he was just asking for money under the guise of buying insurance for the child.”

Fu Chen sneered. “This was my suggestion to him. Right now, all of you are focused on your son in the hospital. Even if you bring Huai Sheng back, you have no intention of taking care of him. He’s still young. If the match is successful and his bone marrow is extracted, who knows whether he’ll suffer any sequelae? What’s wrong with giving the child a guarantee?

“You only said on TV that we were hiding the child, but have you ever said that you were already in contact with Master Pudu, who adopted Huai Sheng?

“Besides, you two already agreed not to disturb the child!

“You broke the agreement and harassed the child wantonly. Are you even worthy of being human?”

Fu Chen had always spoken gently and casually, but every word of his had an exceptionally clear bite.

His gaze swept past the group of reporters behind him. Everyone lowered their heads, afraid to look at him. “How can you be worthy of being journalists when you ignore the facts?”

“He was the one who extorted us first and asked us for money!” Ma Yincui was shameless and directly threw the blame on Master Pudu.

“I asked him to make a recording for me when he saw you two. I only wanted to know how the discussion went. Do you want me to play the recording before you’re willing to shut up?”

Fu Chen suddenly raised his voice and reprimanded, scaring the couple so much that their faces instantly paled.

“Since you abandoned this child back then, do you think you can really bring him home and raise him properly?”

“We didn’t abandon him!” Ma Yincui gritted her teeth.

Even if she was exposed for lying on TV and misleading the public, she would at most be scolded a little. Abandoning a child was illegal, and she would go to jail. She would never admit it even if she was beaten to death.

“Did you really not do it?” Fu Chen sneered. They’re still being stubborn even at death’s door. There’s no saving them.

“Of course not. Don’t spout nonsense.” Huang Jianhua’s voice was trembling.

“Qian Jiang, go bring someone from my car.” Fu Chen had arrived a few steps later because he wanted to pick this person up.

The couple looked at each other, wondering who he was looking for.

…

Four or five minutes later, Qian Jiang brought a girl who looked around fourteen years old. She was dressed very simply and kept rubbing her hands, looking uneasy and nervous.

“Huang Can, why are you here?!” Ma Yincui shouted.

“Dad, Mom.” This girl was their daughter.

“Aren’t you accompanying your brother in the hospital? Why are you here? Since you’ve left, what will happen to your brother? He’ll be afraid if he doesn’t have anyone to accompany him!” Ma Yincui was anxious. She rushed over and wanted to hit her.

Qian Jiang stepped forward and stood in front of her.

“What do you want to do now?!” Ma Yincui was furious. “Stupid girl, come out! You’re revolting! How dare you hide?!”

Old Madam Fu narrowed her eyes and sized up the girl. The shoes on her feet were very dirty, and her pants were very short, but her clothes were very long. Clearly, they weren’t her own clothes. When the girl saw her mother raise her hand, her face paled in fright.

With a seriously ill younger brother in bed at home, she probably didn’t have a good life either.

“I came here to tell you not to look for Little Brother anymore. You were the ones who abandoned him in the first place!” the girl shouted while hiding behind Qian Jiang.

“You…” Ma Yincui obviously didn’t expect her daughter to retort, and her mind went blank.

“Back then, in order to save Younger Brother, you prepared to give birth. In the end, you found a matching bone marrow. If it wasn’t because the child was very big at the time and couldn’t be aborted, you wouldn’t have kept him at all.” The girl remembered many things from back then, and many of them were still vivid in her mind.

“You thought that he was useless. The family owed a lot of money back then, so we couldn’t afford to raise an extra child.

“I heard you say that he’s a burden. A burden! You wanted to throw him away!

“He…” The girl’s voice choked. “He’s still alive. Why do you still want to disturb him?”

“You bitch! I’ll beat you to death!” Huang Jianhua was furious and rushed over to hit her. “The note in the swaddling clothes…”

“You didn’t even raise him for a year, and you couldn’t even bear to give him milk powder to drink. I think a kind person picked him up. At the very least, they could cook him a bowl of noodles on his birthday!”

After Huai Sheng was born, his brother had just finished his surgery. It had basically been Huang Can taking care of him, so she naturally had feelings for him.

“I wrote the note! I put it in!” Huang Can didn’t deny it.

“You didn’t even give him a name. He has no name or surname. I didn’t want him to not even know when he was born.”

Facing her daughter’s denouncement, Ma Yincui only felt her vision blur. She staggered and almost fell to the ground. “What do you mean by saying this now? Do you want our entire family to die?!”

“I don’t want you to bully him anymore.” The girl cried and knelt down. “Can’t you let him off? Isn’t he your son?”

“I originally gave birth to him to save…”

“If it wasn’t for the kind-hearted person who raised him, would you still be able to see him? What life could we save? We can’t falsely accuse at this person and be ungrateful.” The girl knelt on the ground, her body trembling from crying.

Old Madam Fu looked away slightly, her eyes red. She was already so old, and she really couldn’t bear to see such a thing. She didn’t expect such a child to exist in this family. What a sin.

The whispering around them grew louder and louder because there was too much information in the conversation.

Other than mentioning that this couple had abandoned their biological child, she also said that Huai Sheng was born to save their other son. But he was thrown away because he was useless. Moreover, their other son had received a bone marrow transplant but had a relapse.

All of this was never broadcasted on TV.

On TV, it kept showing how hard it was for them, how they went bankrupt to treat their child, and how painful the child’s treatment process was to gain sympathy.

If they had said that the child had been treated before, everyone would probably have figured out what had happened.

Upon hearing this, everyone sighed emotionally.

“How cruel. The parents sinned, but retribution fell on their child.”

“If this child hadn’t come forward, we would have been kept in the dark. Too fearful.”

“Exactly. They’re both sons. Since he can save a life, he should be treated even better. They only gave birth to him but didn’t raise him. He has no feelings for them at all.”

…

Huang Jianhua knew what would happen to him once the matter was exposed. He rushed over and wanted to hit her. “You damn girl, do you want our family to suffer? Who are your parents?!”

Qian Jiang hurriedly reached out to stop him. At this moment, Ma Yincui also pounced over. Everyone who had come here to watch opera rushed over and protected the girl.

“Wait for the police! Call the police! Arrest these heartless parents!” At this moment, the crowd was agitated.

The two of them saw that the situation wasn’t right. If the police came, they might not be able to come out after entering…

Ma Yincui was grabbed by a group of people and couldn’t break free. Huang Jianhua suddenly exerted force and pushed Qian Jiang away. His sleeve was torn, and he raised his legs to rush out.

As soon as he passed the pear wood screen, he was kicked back.

Due to inertia, his body flew out and hit a chair at the side. His waist hit the chair’s arm, making him instantly lose consciousness from the pain.

Crack! The surroundings instantly fell silent.

Qian Jiang had kicked him earlier. And this person’s kick was swift, so he couldn’t dodge in time.

He suffered a severe blow to his abdomen.

His back was numb from the pain, and his body was twitching. He was panting heavily and breathless from the pain.

“Which blind person nearly bumped into me?” Jing Hanchuan had arrived at some point. He lifted his leg and straightened his pants, looking relaxed.

He was wearing white today, looking as elegant as the wind and as proud as the snow.

“How dare you bump into Sixth Master!” The people behind Jing Hanchuan were very tactful. They rushed over, picked Huang Jianhua up, and gave him a good beating.

Seeing her husband being beaten, Ma Yincui was about to speak when Jing Hanchuan’s gaze shot over. She was so frightened that she shrank back and didn’t dare to come forward.

“Old Madam.” Jing Hanchuan walked to Old Madam Fu. “I’m really sorry that you were scared in my place.”

These reporters knew Jing Hanchuan.

Their hearts trembled. This place belongs to Sixth Master Jing?

Jing Hanchuan glanced at the man who had been beaten black and blue and raised his hand. “My father bought this place and gave it to my mother. It’s already not good to see blood. Don’t let someone die and make the place unclean.”

Huang Jianhua fell to the floor like a puddle of mud and heaved a sigh of relief.

Then Jing Hanchuan spoke again.

“Drag him out and beat him up. It doesn’t matter if he lives or dies. Just don’t dirty my mother’s place.”

Huang Jianhua was so frightened that he knelt, kowtowed, and begged for mercy.

Fu Chen chuckled lightly. This brat is used to scaring people. What kind of society is it now? Who would dare to take someone’s life so blatantly? He’s just scaring this coward.

Everyone was so frightened that they kept quiet and didn’t dare to move. Just as the people of the Jing family were about to drag Huang Jianhua out, police sirens sounded outside.

“Consider yourself lucky today.” Jing Hanchuan sneered.

When the police rushed in, Huang Jianhua rushed over. “I abandoned the child. It’s my fault. Take me back!”

After seeing Jing Hanchuan yesterday, he had heard that he was notorious for his evil deeds. At the very least, he would be alive if he went to jail. If he fell into his hands, only death would await him.

The police officers were dumbfounded. Why was he begging to be arrested?

But when they took a closer look at the current situation, they started trembling in fear.

The caller had only said that some people were causing trouble, but they didn’t say that Old Madam Fu was here.

“Officer, we have surveillance cameras here. I’ll give the footage to you immediately.” The manager greeted them and explained the situation to them.

The police officer understood the situation. “Take this couple away first. We will take statements for the rest here.”

Including the audience and the opera performers backstage, there were more than a hundred people. Wouldn’t it be chaotic if they brought them back to the police station?

Just as the couple was about to be taken away…

“Wait.” Huai Sheng had walked out at some point.

“Oh, why did you come out?” Old Madam Fu didn’t want him to see this scene, so she had asked Qian Jiang to send him away earlier.

Huai Sheng looked at the couple not far away. “I’ll go check if I’m a match.

“What nonsense are you spouting? How old are you? Can your body take it?” The umbilical cord blood was taken out with the birth of a child. If Huai Sheng did it, his bones would really be punctured.

“If I’m a match, I’ll donate. Just treat it as me returning the favor of my birth to them.” Huai Sheng had heard everything clearly in the back.

Ma Yincui suddenly covered her face and cried…

Huai Sheng walked to Huang Can, who had been settled down at the side. The girl clearly didn’t expect Huai Sheng to suddenly come out. When she saw him, her tears fell uncontrollably.

He took out a few pieces of coconut candy from his pocket and stuffed them into her hand. Song Fengwan had specially brought them for him when she returned to Nanjiang. He had taken them with him today, but he couldn’t bear to eat them.

“Big Sister—”

Huang Can hugged him and cried herself hoarse. She kept saying that she was sorry for not protecting him.

…

Old Madam Fu stood at the side and wiped her tears.

Fu Chen handed her a piece of tissue. “Need to wipe?”

Old Madam Fu raised her hand and slapped his hand away. “What is there to wipe?”

She was unwilling to cry in front of the children and secretly wiped her tears. But Fu Chen insisted on exposing her, making Old Madam Fu a little exasperated.

Standing at the side, Jing Hanchuan lowered his head and smirked. He deserves it!

Fu Chen looked at the slightly red back of her hand. This old lady is getting on in years, and she’s really hard to please. I really don’t know how Father has lived all these years.

***

After the police finished taking statements, everyone left one after another. Only the reporters wanted to say a few words to Fu Chen or Jing Hanchuan, but they didn’t dare to go forward and could only leave dejectedly.

“You’re letting these reporters leave just like that?” Jing Hanchuan narrowed his eyes. He still had two pieces of coconut candy from Huai Sheng in his hand. He threw one into his mouth.

Fu Chen’s little wife is really insincere. She brought so many good things, but she only gave me a few boxes of cakes?

Actually, Song Fengwan had brought a total of two packets of coconut candy, all for Huai Sheng. The two Fu elders, Uncle Zhong, and Uncle Nian had bad teeth and didn’t eat sweets, and Fu Chen didn’t like them either. Who knew that Jing Hanchuan, who had suddenly appeared, would be so fond of sweets?

Fu Chen narrowed his eyes and called Duan Linbai.

Duan Linbai was also in a meeting to discuss the opening of the new district. When he received the call and heard Fu Chen’s description, he immediately jumped.

“F*ck, why didn’t you call me when something like this happened? That wasn’t cool!”

“Why would I call you?” Fu Chen sneered.

“So I can eat popcorn and watch a show.” I missed such a big show.

“There are other places I need you.”

Duan Linbai was suspicious. “What trap did you dig for me now?”

Seeing Fu Chen on the phone, Jing Hanchuan turned his head to look at the siblings hugging not far away. The girl kept touching Huai Sheng’s head and sobbing…

“Little Brother, why is your hair gone?

“Where’s your hair?

“Why don’t you have any hair?”

…

Huang Can had been in the hospital the whole time and knew very little about what was happening outside. Her parents wouldn’t tell her anything either, so she didn’t even know who had adopted Huai Sheng.

Huai Sheng rubbed his head. “I’m a monk, and I’ll be an abbot in the future. Why should I keep my hair?”

As soon as Huang Can heard that he was a monk, she cried terribly. How could he become a monk at such a young age?

Huai Sheng bit his lip.

What’s wrong with being a monk? Why is she crying like this?

Being an abbot is even more impressive.

***

On the other side…

After Duan Linbai answered Fu Chen’s call, he immediately got someone to prepare a car and rushed straight to a TV station.

The reporters thought that by leaving the Pear Garden, they would be able to avoid a calamity. Little did they know that their nightmare had just started…
