The call was from a girl named Wang Tingting.
She was her only friend!
Although Wang Tingting was involved with the underworld, she appeared boisterous on the surface, but was actually very loyal and helpful. She had helped Su Yingxue a lot over the years. Her current job as a waitress was thanks to Wang Tingting.
However, Su Yingxue felt troubled, as she already owed her too much!
She didn't know if she would ever be able to repay her kindness in this lifetime. Therefore, she was now somewhat afraid of receiving calls from Wang Tingting.
Especially after what she had just experienced, if Wang Tingting found out, she wouldn't rest until something was done.
But not answering would be even more inappropriate!
After a moment of hesitation, she pressed the answer button.
A girl's excited voice immediately came from the other end of the line.
"Yingxue, where are you? I have some amazing news for you. Our Yu Long Hui has been dormant for three years and is finally about to rise again, haha..."
"From now on, I, Wang Tingting, will be the boss of Bai Lan Street. If anyone dares to bully you again, just mention my name, Wang Tingting!"
"Also, if anyone dares to lay a hand on you, just give me a call, and I, Wang Tingting, will immediately grab my big machete and bring thirty to fifty brothers to chop that bastard to death!"
Listening to Wang Tingting's boisterous words, Su Yingxue shook her head helplessly.
She couldn't understand why Wang Tingting, a young lady, liked fighting so much.
"Thank you, Tingting!"
Su Yingxue said sincerely.
"Hmph, why are you so coy, you woman?" Wang Tingting scoffed exaggeratedly. Then, she suddenly remembered something and said, "Hey, you haven't told me where you are now. I've been looking for you for ages!"
"I... I'm at home!"
Su Yingxue didn't want Wang Tingting to worry about her, so she immediately told a white lie.
"Pfft!"
Wang Tingting spat. "I'm at your home right now. What home are you at, for goodness sake!"
"Uh... this..."
Su Yingxue was not good at lying and stammered, not knowing what to do.
Wang Tingting heard something and said irritably, "You foolish woman, did something happen?"
"I... I didn't..."
Just as Su Yingxue was about to explain, the hospital room door was pushed open, and a nurse's voice followed.
"Miss Su, it's time for your medication!"
The nurse's words were heard by Wang Tingting word for word.
She immediately exploded, "Where are you exactly?"
Su Yingxue sighed helplessly. She knew that it was too late to hide anything from Wang Tingting.
Otherwise, she would only escalate the situation.
"I'm at the First Hospital," Su Yingxue said helplessly.
"Ah!" Wang Tingting exclaimed and quickly asked, "Are you feeling unwell?"
"It's nothing, just a minor issue,"
Su Yingxue said calmly.
"Wait there, I'm coming right over."
Wang Tingting hung up the phone without waiting for Su Yingxue's reply.
Less than fifteen minutes later, before Chen Fan had returned, Wang Tingting, dressed in her usual attire, arrived at Su Yingxue's hospital room in a flurry.
As soon as she entered, she saw the slap mark on Su Yingxue's cheek and the bruises on her neck.
She immediately went ballistic!
"Damn it, Yingxue, which bastard dared to hit you? Was it those bitches from the Su family?"
Su Yingxue quickly explained, "No, it wasn't."
She was afraid that if she explained any slower, Wang Tingting would grab a big machete and rush to the Su family to cause trouble.
"Then who was it?"
Wang Tingting's eyes blazed with anger, as if fire was about to erupt from them.
Su Yingxue hesitated. She didn't want Wang Tingting to get involved in this storm.
The Xu family was not someone Wang Tingting could afford to offend.
Even her boss, Brother Kun, had to bow and scrape before Young Master Xu, let alone Wang Tingting.
Thinking of this, Su Yingxue said earnestly, "Tingting, can you please not get involved in this matter?"
"No way!"
Wang Tingting refused outright.
"Anyone who dares to hit my friend, Wang Tingting, will face my wrath, no matter who they are!"
"Hmph, even if you don't tell me, I can still find out through my subordinates!"
Su Yingxue became even more helpless. This girl was as stubborn as a mule; the more you told her not to do something, the more she insisted on doing it.
After thinking for a moment, she took a deep breath and said, "Tingting, if you absolutely must know, I can tell you, but you must promise me not to act rashly, okay?"
Wang Tingting said impatiently, "Alright, alright, I promise to think before I act. Is that good enough?"
"The person who hit me is the eldest son of the Xu family, Xu Shaolin!"
Su Yingxue told the truth, hoping to make Wang Tingting retreat.
"Xu Shaolin? Which Xu Shaolin?"
Wang Tingting frowned, a bad premonition rising in her heart.
"The eldest son of the Xu family, one of the ten great families of Hangjiang!" Su Yingxue said with a grave expression. "And... he's dead!"
"What?"
Wang Tingting's eyes widened in shock, her face filled with disbelief.
"Yingxue, what on earth happened?"
"I killed him!"
Su Yingxue gritted her teeth and said.
"Ah?"
Wang Tingting exclaimed again and shot up from her seat.
"This... what are we going to do? That's the eldest son of the Xu family!" Wang Tingting anxiously paced the hospital room. "Do you know how powerful the Xu family is?"
Su Yingxue remained silent.
"You killed the eldest son of the Xu family, and even my boss can't protect you! What do we do? What do we do..."
"Tingting, I told you this is something you can't handle. You should leave quickly and not get dragged down with me." Su Yingxue had already decided to take full responsibility for this matter.
Including the matter of killing Xu Shaolin!
At worst, she would trade her life for his!
"No, I absolutely will not abandon you." Wang Tingting blurted out. "If worse comes to worst, I'll beg my boss's boss!"
"Boss's boss?"
Su Yingxue looked confused.
"Yes, my boss's boss is Brother Dao, the toughest man in Hangjiang!" Wang Tingting puffed out her chest, her face filled with pride. "As long as Brother Dao steps in, even if the Xu family is powerful, they will give us some face."
Su Yingxue's eyes lit up. Working as a waitress in entertainment venues, she had heard of the title "Toughest Man in Hangjiang."
If Brother Dao could intervene and mediate, perhaps there would be a turning point.
"Then... can you contact Brother Dao?"
Su Yingxue asked with a hint of hope.
Wang Tingting suddenly scratched her head awkwardly, her voice faltering. "I... I don't, but my boss definitely does! Yes, I'll go find my boss later!"
However, at that moment, a cold voice came from outside the door.
"Chen Dao cannot manage this matter!"
