11: What are you yelling for?!

Qian Gao did not know Feng Yueshan, and was even less likely to have any contact with Chu Yilan; he only felt that this group of people had a noble air, and could tell at a glance that they were people who were not short of money.

One of them looked familiar, and after careful recollection, Qian Gao identified him as the young master of a certain media company!

In reality, this young master was merely a small follower of Feng Yueshan.

In the silence, Chu Yilan spoke, "Why didn't you tell me?"

"I didn't expect it either," Shen Lian replied, his voice sounding even more pitiful, "Besides, I don't have your contact information."

Everyone: "..."

Feng Yueshan tutted and shook his head at this pitiful, delicate little flower appearance.

Qian Gao felt an even more jarring sense of absurdity; wait, who was the one violently lashing out in the private room just a moment ago?!

In that short time, Liu Kaisheng came out clutching his wig, furious beyond measure; he shoved Qian Gao, who was blocking his path, aside and bellowed at the top of his lungs, "Where is that slut Shen Lian?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Yilan lifted his eyelids, a storm brewing.

"Help him rinse his mouth."

Two Bodyguards stepped out from behind him and seized Liu Kaisheng.

The anger on Liu Kaisheng's face had not yet dissipated before it was replaced by confusion and panic, his expression looking quite comical.

"Alright, leave this to me," Feng Yueshan said, "You had better take your..." Feng Yueshan deliberated for a moment before continuing, "Little bird, and see if the injuries are serious."

After all, Shen Lian looked on the verge of collapsing and fainting.

For a moment, Qian Gao thought something was wrong with his ears. Little bird? What little bird?! When did Shen Lian climb up such a high branch?

The next second, Feng Yueshan grabbed Qian Gao by the neck with significant force, "Let's go, isn't it just drinking? I'll make sure you all drink your fill today."

The five people, including Liu Kaisheng, did not manage to escape.

Feng Yueshan wasn't helping Shen Lian, but rather, Shen Lian was now his brother's person; whether he was just a toy or a passing interest, that was a private matter behind closed doors, and it was not for these bottom-tier people to set rules for Shen Lian.

Furthermore, hadn't they seen that Chu Yilan was angry?

"Shen Lian? Shen Lian!" Qian Gao called out tremblingly, only to have his mouth stuffed by Feng Yueshan.

Shen Lian ignored him; Qian Gao wasn't a good person anyway.

Once these people left, it was as if all the bones had been drained out of Shen Lian's body.

He leaned weakly against Chu Yilan, whimpering, "Master Chu, I'm in pain."

Chu Yilan: "I can't tell."

There was an element of pretense in Shen Lian's behavior, which Chu Yilan identified at a glance.

But the way he clutched his waist and abdomen also made it seem like he was truly uncomfortable.

Chu Yilan's drinking party was ruined, so he took Shen Lian into the car and told the driver to head to the hospital.

Shen Lian did not let this golden opportunity pass.

He sat beside Chu Yilan at first, then leaned in; even sensing the man's visibly soaring anger, Shen Lian was not afraid. As if lacking the strength, he rested his head on Chu Yilan's shoulder.

The scent of pine resin mixed with agarwood flooded his nostrils, and Shen Lian loved it immensely.

With the driver casting a terrified glance into the rearview mirror, Shen Lian placed one hand on Chu Yilan's chest.

Chu Yilan's tone betrayed neither joy nor anger, "What are you doing?"

Shen Lian whimpered, "Master Chu, has anyone ever told you that your pectoral muscles are well-developed?"

The driver wished he could find something to plug his ears with.

Chu Yilan snapped: "Take your hand off!"

Shen Lian turned a deaf ear, "Master Chu, Zheng Ge was also at the recording today, and I didn't give him any pleasant looks."

Chu Yilan liked Zheng Ge, a realization that made Shen Lian very unhappy.

Hearing no answer from Chu Yilan, Shen Lian curiously raised his head, "You don't blame me?"

From this angle, he could see the man's sharp and beautiful jawline.

Chu Yilan repeated his words: "Take your hand away, or I will throw you out of the car."

Shen Lian immediately pulled it away, not out of fear, but suddenly frowning, his face turning even paler, and then he began to cough uncontrollably while pressing on his chest and lungs.

Chu Yilan looked at him immediately.

Shen Lian felt as if his lungs were leaking air; the more he tried to restrain himself, the more difficult it became to breathe.

Before long, a large hand was gently patting his back, which brought Shen Lian a lot of relief.

Once he caught his breath, Shen Lian leaned back again.

This time, Chu Yilan didn't say a single word of refusal.

"You got into a fight with your Agent?"

Shen Lian didn't know how Chu Yilan had noticed Qian Gao, but it didn't matter; he rasped, "No, Qian Gao led me there; the person in charge of Tianhe Advertising wanted to sleep with me."

He didn't hide anything; Chu Yilan could easily find out anyway.

But then Shen Lian started spouting nonsense, "I thought, I have to keep myself pure for Master Chu, so I resisted."

Chu Yilan: "Oh? How did you resist?"

"Whoever punches me, I punch them back."

"Turn-based?"

"Yup."

Chu Yilan: "..." Not a word of truth in his mouth.

Chu Yilan used the priority channel; as soon as they arrived at the hospital, someone helped Shen Lian onto a gurney.

He had been forcing himself to endure the whole way, but now that he lay down, Shen Lian lost consciousness.

When he gently closed his eyes, Chu Yilan felt a sudden, dull ache in his heart.

Chu Yilan had guessed the situation might be somewhat serious, but he hadn't expected it to be this severe.

Shen Lian had multiple contusions all over his body, two ligament injuries on his legs, a large bruise on his waist with pooled blood, and a broken rib.

It had almost punctured his lung; it was hard to believe he had been chatting with Chu Yilan the whole way like a leaky bellows.

The doctor in charge of the examination couldn't help but exclaim, "The patient has a very strong will."

Otherwise, if any ordinary person had sustained these injuries, they would have groaned, but Shen Lian had endured from the examination until entering the ward, waking up several times in between without making a sound.

Actually, there were those who were worse off than him.

Liu Kaisheng, Qian Gao, and the others were forced by Feng Yueshan to drink until they were nearly crawling out of the door.

Feng Yueshan had originally let them go, but then he received a call from Chu Yilan.

"Where are they?"

Feng Yueshan looked not far away, "Crawling around on the floor. Don't worry, they drank quite a lot; I've avenged Shen Lian."

"Liu Kaisheng," Chu Yilan said concisely, "Break one of his legs for me."

Feng Yueshan sat up from the sofa, "Are you serious?"

Chu Yilan: "Shen Lian broke a rib."

Feng Yueshan: "..."

Brother, I don't get you when you're like this. In the past, Shen Lian went against Zheng Ge for the sake of Zhou Tangsi, and didn't you have a strong opinion about him? He's only been by your side for a few days, and your attitude has done a complete 180-degree turn.

But Feng Yueshan was also somewhat happy; ever since Chu Yilan's appearance was damaged, he had been gloomy and taciturn, but in the last few days, he had suddenly gained much more vitality.

If it was because of Shen Lian, Feng Yueshan would accept it.

Real or fake, as long as it could make his brother happy, he would give him this face.

"Got it." Feng Yueshan hung up the phone, picked up a wine bottle, and stood up.

Looking at Feng Yueshan, who seemed like a cold-faced Asura, Qian Gao couldn't even cry.

He never knew Shen Lian had such a big background! He would never bully Shen Lian again, and he would pay back every single cent he owed Shen Lian!

Feng Yueshan brought the wine bottle down, accompanied by a shrill scream.

Liu Kaisheng clutched his right leg, unable to speak, curled up into a ball of fat, in extreme pain.

Feng Yueshan turned his head in surprise, looking at the trembling Qian Gao, "No, I didn't hit you, what the hell are you screaming for!"
