Compensation? I Don’t Think You Can Afford It!

"Uh-huh."

Xiu Jie nodded in favor as he looked at Chenchen softly. Xing Feng and Yun Che figured that Chenchen must have interacted with Xiu Jie before and his cute personality made Xiu Jie like him very much. Xing Feng and Yun Che couldn't help but smile, because they were happy that Chenchen was popular.

"Well, I guess it's the time for revenge now."

The smile had disappeared from Yun Che's face, and he turned around and walked out with Xing Feng. Zhan Tianlong and Xiu Jie also pulled long faces. He whoever had hurt their little prince must be punished.

*Bang*

When the door of the operating room was opened from the inside all of a sudden, everyone outside looked over, only to see Xing Feng and Yun Che walk out side by side, followed by Zhan Tianlong, who was dressed in a surgical gown, and Xiu Jie, who was carrying Chenchen in his arms. They looked calm and peaceful at a glance, but those who knew them well would have noticed that their smiles were cold.

"Chenchen!"

Ignoring everything else, Yun Yao and Yun Cheng rushed up the moment they saw Chenchen. When Yun Yao saw the blood on his forehead and clothes, the hands she had reached out trembled involuntarily. Frowning, Yun Cheng turned around and grabbed Yun Che. "Brother, Chenchen's clothes. We should help him get changed."

He wanted Chenchen to change into new clothes not because he thought Chenchen was dirty, but because he didn't like to see Chenchen's blood, just as he didn't like to see his brother bleeding.

"Uh-huh. Go ahead and help him get changed. Wipe his body, by the way."

While speaking, Yun Che conjured a set of children's clothes and a bag of wet tissues and handed them to Yun Cheng. Yun Cheng immediately turned around and took Chenchen from Xiu Jie. "Yao, let's help Chenchen get changed."

"Okay."

Yun Yao wiped off the tears that just gushed out and walked away with him, followed by Wang Suhua and Lu's mother. Xiu Jie wanted to follow them, but on second thought, he stopped his pace, watching them from afar instead. Sitting on a chair not far away, they started to take off Chenchen's clothes. They were doing it gently and cautiously to avoid waking him up.

"Now, who would like to tell me how the hell my nephew got injured in the kindergarten?"

Yun Che snapped at those people, who had been trembling in fear after learning his identity. Facing his intimidating gaze, Mrs. Chen and her people all stepped backwards involuntarily, while their arrogant and bossy vibe had long disappeared.

Mrs. Chen was the one who feared the most, because Yun Che had heard her say something she shouldn't have said, and, what's worse, she was responsible for Chenchen's injury. She had been scared ever since she learned that Chenchen was Yun Che's nephew. Everyone knew Yun Che was the type that tended to hold a grudge. Rumor had it that he would kill anyone who offended him, including the people in the military. Therefore, this woman had every reason to be scared at the moment.

*Squeak*

With an abrupt sound, another car stopped at the gate of the building. When the car door was opened, two men – one aged and one young – hurried out of the car and ran inside. At the sight of them, Mrs. Chen and her daughter-in-law immediately came forward with bloodshot eyes.

"Shibo!"

"Youming!"

The two women plunged into the arms of their husbands respectively. Chen Shibo and Chen Youming hugged them with a sullen look. When they saw Xing Feng, both of their faces sank instantly, but they soon looked down and away to conceal their emotions.

"It's alright. Captain Xing is not an unreasonable man. Everything will be fine as soon as we clear the misunderstandings."

The two men had only learned part of the story on their way here. They knew that their women had made a scene in the hospital, but they didn't know exactly what had happened, so they failed to realize how serious the matter was. On the contrary, they thought that Xing Feng was being overdramatic to interfere with such a trivial matter.

"But…"

Mrs. Chen looked up with tears on her face, trying to say something, but Chen Shibo took her into the hospital and walked up to Xing Feng. "Sorry, Captain Xing. I apologize for them. They shouldn't have made a scene in the hospital. But anyway, they're just women. As a gentleman, I believe you'll forgive them. If there is anything damaged or anyone injured, we are willing to compensate for it."

Despite his seemingly polite attitude, there was a hint of sarcasm in his words. When he mentioned that they were just women, he was implying that Xing Feng was being petty to hold onto such a trivial matter. Like many other researchers, he had a weird temper before the doomsday, and in the doomsday, it became worse. These researchers were too smug to understand the situation they were facing. They always thought that they were the only hope to save humanity.

"Compensate? I don't think you can afford it!"

Before Xing Feng and Yun Che could say anything, Yu Wenqing snorted. He pulled his sister-in-law over and pointed to her face, continuing, "How are you going to compensate for this, Academician Chen?"

As far as he was concerned, even killing that middle-aged woman wouldn't be enough.

"Who's this?"

A gleam flashed across Chen Shibo's eyes. He knew his wife well, so he didn't need anyone to tell him that the scars on She Jiao's face were caused by his wife. However, no matter how far his wife had gone, she was his wife, after all, and he had to defend her. Besides, words had it that Chaoyang had a light-attribute superfunction possessor. This woman's face indeed looked terrible, but it would heal after getting some treatment from the light-attribute superfunction possessor.

"She's my sister-in-law."

"Well…"

Chen Shibo and his son knew Yu Wenqing, because he and Fang Rui had been visiting the laboratory quite often recently. If this woman was his sister-in-law, the problem would be tricky. The two Chens gave their wives a reproachful look at the same time. They had been indulging these two women in bullying ordinary people, but they didn't expect the women to mess with Yu Wenqing's sister-in-law. Even if they offered everything their family had as compensation, Yu Wenqing wouldn't be tempted, because he already had everything he needed.

*Snap*

"Ouch!"

"What the hell?"

To everyone's surprise, Chen Shibo suddenly slapped Mrs. Chen in the face. The cheek that had been slapped swollen by Yun Yao now became more swollen, and Mrs. Chen hissed in pain, tears rolling down. Mrs. Chen was furious at first, but when she saw her husband, who was facing Xing Feng with his back, secretly winkle at her, she was confused for a second. Then, she covered her face and wailed, "Woo… How could you beat me? I don't want to live anymore… Woo…"

Crying didn't seem enough. Mrs. Chen sat down on the ground hard and patted her thighs, wailing heartbreakingly.

"Mother, don't do this. Dad didn't mean to hurt you. But you indeed have gone too far this time."

"Mother, please get up. We can talk."

Chen Youming and his wife stepped forward to help her get up. Chen Shibo was still wearing a sullen look. Everyone else looked at each other at a loss. The staff of the hospital and the kindergarten started to gossip. Some said that the middle-aged woman deserved it, and some suspected that this family were just doing a show. Anyway, they all believed this woman deserved some punishment for having gone too far before.

"Captain Yu…"

Chen Shibo stiffly turned around and talked to Yu Wenqing, but when he saw the weird facial expressions of Yu Wenqing and Xing Feng and their people, he hesitated. Initially, he had thought that if he took the initiative to give his wife a slap, Yu Wenqing would stop pushing no matter how furious he was. However, their calm reactions surprised Chen Shibo, as if they had seen through his trick. Chen Shibo was nervous.

Mrs. Chen and Chen Youming and his wife, Xiao Biting, were surprised, too. Their flawless cooperation suggested that this was not the first time they had pulled this trick, but it was definitely the first time that they had encountered such a situation.

"Xiu Jie, fix the wounds for Ms. She."

Ignoring that hypocritical family, Xing Feng instructed Xiu Jie. Whether those wounds had healed or not wouldn't affect his decision of dealing with that family today. Unfortunately, some people had misunderstood his intention.

"Ok."

While walking up to She Jiao, Xiu Jie glared at Chen Shibo and his family. He was angry at those people not only because he believed they were somehow responsible for Chenchen's injury, but also because they had scratched She Jiao's face. No one present cared about the appearance more than him. When he was a movie star before the doomsday, his face meant everything to him. Even though they were no longer living in a peaceful and prosperous world, and he was no longer a star, he still hated to see a face being damaged, even if that face was not his.

"Well, the pain has gone. Thanks, Xiu Jie."

She Jiao's wounds healed completely after some superfunction light flashed across her face. Touching her cheeks that no longer hurt, She Jiao smiled sincerely. Xiu Jie responded with a nod. Having noticed that there were several other people who had been injured, he walked over and treated them one by one. The nurses blushed involuntarily, because they were impressed by his good heart and attracted by his handsome face.

"Thank you, Captain Xing."

Thinking that Xing Feng was doing this to mediate their conflicts, Chen Shibo expressed his gratitude, but Xing Feng raised his hand to interrupt Chen, "I didn't do that for you. Your wife and daughter-in-law hurt my man's family. I'm not going to let them away with this or the other things they've done today."

If he spared those people today, who would respect his leadership in the future? Even if he hadn't had a personal relationship with Yu Wenqing, Xing Feng wouldn't have let this go.

"What do you mean?"

Chen Shibo frowned, wondering what Xing Feng was talking about.

"Ms. She, since this event started from the kindergarten, would you please tell us the whole story? It seems that some people think they can get away with it after hurting my nephew. That's not gonna happen. I'd like to see whose child is more important."

Having been silent for a while, Yun Che stepped forward and glanced at Chen Shibo before looking at She Jiao. At the same time, Yun Yao and Yun Cheng also came over. Wang Suhua and Lu's mother already took Chenchen and headed home, because they didn't want these people to disturb the child while he was sleeping. They felt heartbroken to learn that he had shed so much blood.

"What else did you do?"

Chen Shibo and his son realized that there was something else they didn't know yet. Although they didn't know Yun Che, they figured he must be some badass, otherwise, he would have had the courage to interrupt Xing Feng or speak in such an aggressive manner. Therefore, Chen Shibo involuntarily snarled. This time he was not faking it. He was really angry at his wife and daughter-in-law.

"I…I…"

Mrs. Chen wanted to say something, but she didn't know what to say. Just then, Yun Cheng came forward and pointed at her, saying, "Brother, can I kill her? She called me an idiot just now. She is an idiot. I'm the smartest."

Yun Cheng's voice and facial expression seemed childish, but his words were intimidating, which almost scared the shit out of Mrs. Chen. If Yun Che hadn't told him not to kill anyone, this woman probably would have been dead already.
