Chapter 146: She’s My Boss
It’s strange, Mei Ruyan walked in without anyone stopping her, even the two black-clad guards at the door obediently followed her with their heads down.
"Hey beauty, you’re here!" Zhao saw Mei Ruyan, his eyes filled with greed, and couldn’t help but tease, "Today, you won’t escape the palm of Mr. Zhao, will you?"
Huo completely ignored what was happening behind him, his focused eyes on Lin Tian lying on the hospital bed, ready to attack at any moment.
Lin Tian’s face was grave. Though he was happy Mei Ruyan had come, the imminent confrontation with Huo was unavoidable.
"I said stop, can’t you hear me?"
Mei Ruyan scanned the room and shouted sharply.
"Little beauty sure has a temper. Brother likes your type!" Zhao reached out his hand to grab Mei Ruyan.
Without warning, Mei Ruyan lifted her right leg and kicked Zhao between the legs.
"Hiss!" Zhao felt his lower body go weak, his legs buckled, and he collapsed to the ground, losing all strength.
"Ah!"
Zhao clutched his groin, screaming in heart-wrenching pain.
No one listened to Mei Ruyan’s words, but when they heard Zhao’s screams, everyone instinctively turned their heads to look.
The black-clad men gathered around the hospital bed saw Mei Ruyan and collectively gasped, taking two steps back and spontaneously making way for Mei Ruyan.
Huo kept his full attention on Lin Tian: "If you don’t get up, then I’ll make my move?"
Huo didn’t want to take advantage of a helpless person, so he issued a warning.
"Fire Wolf, are you looking for death?"
Suddenly, a cold voice came from behind Huo.
Fire Wolf was Huo’s nickname, known for his fierce and venomous fighting style, fiery temper, and loyalty.
Usually, people beneath him respectfully called him Brother Wolf or Brother Huo; only two people could call him Fire Wolf.
One was his immediate superior Bai Shishi, and the other was the boss Mei Ruyan.
And this cold yet familiar voice undoubtedly belonged to Mei Ruyan.
Huo turned his head, and sure enough, saw Mei Ruyan with a stern face, brows furrowed, glaring at him angrily.
"Yan... Sister Yan, what a coincidence, you... you came here?"
Confronted with the unexpected appearance of Mei Ruyan, Huo was utterly bewildered, not understanding what was going on.
Why did Mei Ruyan suddenly appear in the hospital?
It’s one thing to be in the hospital, but why specifically this room?
Instantly, Huo’s previously arrogant demeanor vanished, replaced with caution.
"Why am I here?"
In response to Huo’s question, Mei Ruyan retorted, "I should be asking you why you’re here."
"Didn’t a brother say he was bullied and asked me to come help?"
Huo awkwardly explained.
"A brother got bullied?" Mei Ruyan turned to the Zhao writhing in pain on the floor: "He’s your brother?"
"Not blood-related, just someone from the outside following me!"
Huo explained.
"Oh~!"
Mei Ruyan nodded thoughtfully, figuring out the situation.
"You’ve explained why you’re here, so I’ll explain why I’m here too?"
Mei Ruyan pointed at Lin Tian on the hospital bed: "This man saved Miss Bai from bank robbers and took a bullet in his leg!"
"Miss Bai took care of him all night until morning, and then I came to take over!"
"..."
Listening to Mei Ruyan’s explanation, cold sweat poured down Huo’s back, which had unknowingly become drenched.
This is trouble, a big mistake.
The man capable of making Bai Shishi and Mei Ruyan both take care of him, and yet I brought my boys to cause him trouble.
This was clearly walking into a trap!
"Well... I didn’t know who he was!"
After a long moment, Huo squeezed out a sentence, trying to justify himself.
"Fine, let’s say you didn’t know who he was!"
Mei Ruyan pointed at Zhao, who was slowly getting up by holding the wall: "Do you know whose woman he was harassing?"
Huo had just learned from Lin Tian about the situation, knowing Zhao had harassed the patient’s girlfriend.
And from Mei Ruyan’s words, he knew that two women had stayed in the ward before, one was Bai Shishi who left, and the other was Mei Ruyan who was now looking after Lin Tian.
But in the room, he saw only Mei Ruyan.
So, without a doubt, the woman harassed by Zhao must have been Mei Ruyan.
And then I came to trouble Lin Tian because of Zhao’s words, for a bit of money.
Thinking about the whole matter, Huo’s head ached, knowing he wouldn’t escape a scolding today.
"Sister Yan, I know I was wrong!"
Because there were juniors around, Huo spoke softly.
"Brother Huo, Brother Huo, help me beat that guy, and also get someone to tie this woman up for me, today I must let her taste my power!"
Zhao, finally standing up from the ground, pointed at Mei Ruyan and declared.
Mei Ruyan’s earlier kick nearly ended Zhao’s manhood, which only fueled his desire to take Mei Ruyan by force.
But he had been too focused on the pain and, with the quiet conversation between Huo and Mei Ruyan, hadn’t caught a word they said.
"Slap!"
Huo took a big step and smacked Zhao across the face.
"Brother Huo, what are you—?"
Hit by the slap, Zhao was dumbfounded, not understanding why Huo suddenly hit him.
What did I do wrong?
Or say something wrong?
Apparently not, right?
So why was I hit?
"Shut up!"
Huo glared fiercely at Zhao.
He still hadn’t figured out how to explain to Mei Ruyan his actions today, aiding and abetting evil. Zhao’s earlier remark was like pouring oil on the fire!
It was like he wanted to dig his own grave!!!
Zhao, slapped into confusion, was now filled with anger.
I paid you to come and hit Lin Tian, and instead of hitting him, I got slapped first?
What the hell’s going on here?
"Brother Huo, don’t you think you’re going a bit too far?"
Zhao gritted his teeth, completely unaware of the severity of the situation.
"Going too far?"
Huo pointed at Mei Ruyan and asked Zhao, "Do you know who she is?"
"A beauty!"
Zhao answered truthfully.
But the answer earned him another slap.
"Brother Huo, even if you hit me, there should be a reason, right?"
Zhao, covering his swollen right cheek, looked utterly wronged.
"A reason? Fine, I’ll give you a reason!"
Huo pointed at Mei Ruyan and introduced her: "She’s my boss!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Lin Tian’s eyes almost bulged out on the hospital bed.
Even though he could tell Mei Ruyan knew this Huo, he didn’t expect their relationship to be like this.
If Lin Tian was that shocked, Zhao was even more so.
Zhao stood there, utterly dazed, his eyes vacant.
