Chapter 57 Better to Be Dead Than Alive

Yu Honglong was terrified when he saw this scene.

"Dr. Chen, is he... is he going to be alright?" Yu Honglong pointed at Xue Yang.

Others might not know his identity, but Yu Honglong did. This was the only son of the chairman of the Xue Group of Investments!

"He won't die," Chen Mo replied coldly.

Yu Honglong, still uneasy, stepped forward and felt for Xue Yang's breath.

Sensing that he was still breathing, he finally relaxed. However, he quickly suggested, "Dr. Chen, let's leave quickly. If anyone sees us, we might not be able to get away!"

Chen Mo nodded, then picked up Tian Mengyao, who was trembling all over, and walked towards the door.

Xue Yang's screams had already attracted the attention of many people in the restaurant.

Some security guards and waiters were hurrying towards them.

But by the time they arrived, Chen Mo and the others had already left the restaurant.

Chen Mo had originally planned to take Tian Mengyao home, but Tian Mengyao was so frightened that she clung to Chen Mo tightly, refusing to let go.

Chen Mo naturally couldn't take Tian Mengyao back to his rented apartment.

If Sister Li saw Tian Mengyao's state now, she would surely be shocked.

In the end, Chen Mo had no choice but to take Tian Mengyao to a random hotel to stay.

Before Yu Honglong left, he had specifically warned Chen Mo to lay low for a few days. Chen Mo had beaten Xue Yang so badly, and the other party would definitely not let it go.

Just as Chen Mo and Tian Mengyao settled into the hotel.

Xue Yang had already been rushed to Longhua First Hospital.

Upon hearing that Xue Yang had been severely injured, Xue Yongcheng and his wife also rushed to the hospital.

When Xue Yang's mother saw Xue Yang, who was beaten beyond recognition, on the hospital bed, she almost fainted.

Xue Yongcheng's face was also extremely grim.

No one in Longhua had ever dared to challenge his authority so brazenly!

Especially when Xue Yongcheng learned that Xue Yang might become infertile in the future, his angry eyes seemed to spew fire.

"Find out who did this! I will tear him to shreds!"

Xue Yongcheng was completely enraged.

The bodyguard beside him did not dare to delay and immediately went to investigate the matter.

The news that Xue Yongcheng's son had been beaten into a cripple spread throughout Longhua that night.

The restaurant involved fully cooperated, and the manager rushed to the hospital that night.

"Mr. Xue, our restaurant has nothing to do with this. We sent Mr. Xue to the hospital as soon as we heard about it. Please rest assured, we will cooperate with the investigation, and our restaurant will bear all the medical expenses," the restaurant manager said quickly, looking at the grim-faced Xue Yongcheng.

"Are you implying that I, Xue Yongcheng, don't have money to pay for my son's treatment?" Xue Yongcheng asked in a deep voice.

The manager was startled and waved his hands, "Mr. Xue, I didn't mean that, really."

"Didn't you? If something happens to my son, I guarantee your restaurant won't be able to operate in Longhua anymore."

These words turned the manager's face pale.

His expression became hesitant, and he seemed to want to say something but stopped. "Mr. Xue, actually..."

"Actually what?" Xue Yongcheng asked.

"Mr. Xue, when we were cleaning the room, we found this. You'll know when you see it." As he spoke, the manager inserted a memory card into his phone and handed it to Xue Yongcheng.

Xue Yongcheng frowned slightly but still pressed the play button.

Inside was a video, and Xue Yongcheng's face gradually turned ashen.

Because this video captured everything that had happened in the restaurant that night.

"Mr. Xue, Mr. Xue didn't let us get close at the time, so we didn't know when someone broke in. You don't want this to be made public, do you?" the manager asked with a wronged expression.

"Are you threatening me?" Xue Yongcheng looked at the manager.

"Mr. Xue, our restaurant will not shirk any responsibility. We only ask for your understanding. The culprit has been found, it's this kid."

"Where else is the video?" Xue Yongcheng asked.

The manager quickly replied, "Only this one. You've seen it, it's all on the memory card, and only I know the content of the video! Please rest assured, this matter will absolutely not get out."

"Alright, I'll believe you for now. If this matter gets out, I guarantee your restaurant will have no place in Longhua."

"Please rest assured, I will absolutely keep my mouth shut!" the manager promised.

After seeing the manager leave, a cold glint flashed in Xue Yongcheng's eyes.

He handed the memory card to the bodyguard beside him, "Find out who that kid was. By dawn, I want all his information."

"Also, tomorrow morning, notify Tian Xiaoguang to come to the hospital."

"Yes!" the bodyguard replied promptly.

At this time, in a chain hotel.

Tian Mengyao had fallen asleep curled up in Chen Mo's arms.

However, her fair hands were still tightly clutching Chen Mo's arm, clearly not having recovered from the previous trauma.

It wasn't until the next morning.

Sunlight streamed into the room through the sheer curtains.

Tian Mengyao slowly opened her eyes.

When she saw Chen Mo sleeping by the bed in a very uncomfortable position, her heart instantly warmed.

She knew that Chen Mo must have been very uncomfortable sleeping like this all night.

Moreover, last night, if Chen Mo hadn't appeared in time, she wouldn't dare to imagine the consequences.

Chen Mo hadn't been asleep.

Feeling a slight movement beside him, he opened his eyes.

Suddenly, their eyes met.

Tian Mengyao had never slept in the same bed with a man before, and her face instantly turned red. She quickly let go of Chen Mo's arm and lowered her head, not daring to look at him.

Chen Mo also sat up and stretched his sore body, feeling a little more comfortable.

"Chen Mo, thank you," Tian Mengyao's grateful voice was heard.

Chen Mo looked at Tian Mengyao, "You are my girlfriend, and protecting you is what I should do."

Then, he said with some anger, "But next time you go out to eat, you must pay attention to safety and not be so foolish, believing everything anyone says."

Tian Mengyao nodded sadly.

She hadn't expected to be betrayed by her best friend.

However, Tian Mengyao was also curious, "How did you know I was there?"

"It was Xiao Long."

"That Yu Honglong?" Tian Mengyao was a little surprised.

Chen Mo nodded, "Yes, it's all thanks to him that I was able to arrive in time."

Tian Mengyao asked doubtfully, "But isn't he Xue Yang's man? Why would he help us?"

"Remember his liver cirrhosis? The prescription I gave him worked, so he abandoned the darkness and embraced the light."

Tian Mengyao was shocked.

She hadn't expected that it was the prescription Chen Mo learned in the orphanage that saved her!

"It's getting late, we should..." Chen Mo was about to get up.

Tian Mengyao suddenly stepped forward and pressed her tender red lips onto Chen Mo's lips.
