Huang De Han hadn't finished speaking when he was suddenly silenced and brutally beaten.
"Li Man is a human being, not an object to be given away. Who gave you the right to decide for her? You deserve to die!"
Huo Jian Sheng clenched his fists in anger and relentlessly struck Huang De Han, unleashing all his fury upon him.
After exhausting himself from the assault, Huo Jian Sheng released his grip on Huang De Han's mouth and coldly asked, "Think carefully before you speak. Did you instruct someone to harm Li Man?"
Huang De Han looked at Huo Jian Sheng in agony, unsure of how to respond.
"Not going to answer, huh?"
Huo Jian Sheng raised his fist again, causing Huang De Han to tremble in fear. In an instant, he wet himself out of sheer terror.
"I'll talk, I'll talk! Please, don't hit me anymore," Huang De Han pleaded in a pitiful state.
Huo Jian Sheng lowered his fist, showing disgust as he furrowed his brow. He took out his phone and pressed the record button.
As Huo Jian Sheng pulled out his phone, Huang De Han's expression changed like a kaleidoscope, displaying a mix of nervousness, fear, helplessness, anger, and various other emotions.
Finally, Huang De Han gave in to despair and spoke slowly, "It was me who instructed someone to harm Li Man."
"Why did you have someone hurt Li Man?" Huo Jian Sheng asked.
"Because I despise her, I hate her!" Huang De Han gritted his teeth and said with venom.
Huo Jian Sheng put away his phone and said, "Very well, just as you caused harm to Li Man, I will make sure you suffer just as much!"
Before the words had even left his mouth, Huo Jian Sheng raised his fist and ruthlessly struck Huang De Han's abdomen, blow after blow, each punch landing with force.
Huang De Han's mouth was tightly covered, preventing him from making any sound. He stared at Huo Jian Sheng with anguish in his bloodshot eyes, a look of despair in his gaze.
If only he had known, he wouldn't have spoken up.
No, even if he hadn't spoken, he would still be subjected to the beating.
Huang De Han closed his eyes in despair.
At first, he resisted, but eventually, he gave up. He remained motionless, allowing the punches to rain down on him.
Because by now, he was in too much pain to resist.
Huo Jian Sheng released his grip on Huang De Han's mouth and delivered a powerful punch to his face.
"Ah!" Huang De Han let out a miserable scream, clutching his mouth, rolling on the ground. Blood continued to seep through his fingers.
Huo Jian Sheng stood up, saying, "Don't worry, I won't let you die. You can go and report me if you dare!"
Looking at the agonized figure on the ground, Huo Jian Sheng shook his sore arm and walked out of the stairwell.
Coincidentally, he bumped into a nurse, and he said to her, "Hello, I just came up from the stairwell and saw someone lying on the ground, seemingly badly injured. Can you go and take a look?"
After speaking, Huo Jian Sheng returned to Li Man's hospital room, paying no further attention to the matter.
The nurse, puzzled, pushed open the security door of the stairwell and indeed found a person curled up on the ground, motionless, as if dead.
The nurse was frightened and quickly called for help, and Huang De Han was rushed for emergency treatment.
...
Li Man woke up from the pain.
She struggled to open her heavy eyelids, but the glaring light made her quickly shut her eyes again. Her head throbbed, causing her discomfort in various ways.
The air was filled with the strong scent of disinfectant.
After a moment of relief, Li Man slowly opened her eyes. Before her eyes was a pristine white room, with several bottles of medicine hanging by the bed, each drop falling down at an extremely slow pace.
Feeling her arm being pressed down, she lowered her gaze and saw Huo Jian Sheng holding her hand, sleeping on the edge of the bed.
As she looked at Huo Jian Sheng's profile, a strange affection welled up in Li Man's heart, but she quickly suppressed it.
She told herself, "You're past the age of dreaming."
