Straightaway, Lu Nanze’s expression froze as he turned to the other man and said, “¿Do you know you should never ask another man that question?”
Shen Liangchuan looked at him with disdain and replied, “Well then, is that a yes or no? If you can’t then you should say so, don’t force yourself.”
Lu Nanze clenched his jaw and said through gritted teeth, “No problem!”
“If it’s no problem, let’s take revenge then!”
After saying this, the two men stood back-to-back against each other, facing the surrounding henchmen.
They positioned themselves to isolate Qiao Lian and keep her apart from the men.
Qiao Lian watched them steadily.
She knew that Shen Liangchuan had provoked Lu Nanze because being beaten up was a shameful thing for a proud man like him.
They were men and they had their ego.
If Shen Liangchuan rescued Lu Nanze, then Lu Nanze would have owed the man a favor. Furthermore, it would have been a permanent embarrassment for Lu Nanze.
For that reason, they both had to defeat the opponents together. This was the only way to preserve Lu Nanze’s dignity.
It was likely that, because Shen Liangchuan had seen that Lu Nanze had saved Qiao Lian, he was being considerate towards the man.
Qiao Lian stood there watching the two men as they punched, kicked and beat the opponent to pulp. She was suddenly distracted.
These two men were both of such high caliber, they were really too good for her. She didn’t deserve them.
Five minutes later.
The men were strewn all over the floor, groaning in pain.
Shen Liangchuan and Lu Nanze stood over them, looking at them steadily.
After a short time, police sirens were heard. The police cars arrived.
The police got out of their cars and were shocked by the scene. But one glance at Shen Liangchuan and Lu Nanze sent them scrambling to handcuff the men and take them into custody.
The police chief looked at the three of them and said slowly, “Do you have time to come with us and give a statement?”
Shen Liangchuan glanced at Lu Nanze and Qiao Lian then replied, “We’ll take the two of them to the hospital first.”
The police officer nodded.
Hurriedly, they called an ambulance.
The ambulance turned up very shortly. When it arrived, Shen Liangchuan helped Qiao Lian into the vehicle, as her legs were weak and her abdomen was in pain. Then he turned around to look at Lu Nanze, who had been silent all this while. “Do you need help?”
Lu Nanze pushed his hand away with an icy snort and stiffly entered the ambulance.
After he got into the vehicle, Lu Nanze took a bench seat in the corner and leaned back, leaving the trolley bed to Qiao Lian.
Shen Liangchuan sat close to Qiao Lian and fixed his eyes on her nervously.
The nurse wanted to examine Lu Nanze, however, pointing at Qiao Lian, he said, “Just examine her, that’ll do.”
Hence the nurse turned back to look at Qiao Lian.
Shen Liangchuan quickly added, “She’s pregnant. Please examine her and see how she’s doing.”
The nurse immediately reached out to feel Qiao Lian’s abdomen. After a brief examination, the nurse said, “She’s alright for now, but after going through all of this, the specifics still have to be determined by an examination in the hospital.”
Upon hearing this, the three of them felt somewhat upset.
The atmosphere in the ambulance turned gloomy.
Qiao Lian stared wide-eyed and nervously at the ceiling of the ambulance.
She hoped that her child was alright.
As these thoughts ran through her mind, the ambulance arrived at the hospital. The nurses unloaded Qiao Lian and pushed her into the hospital.
Lu Nanze was still sitting and leaning against the corner of the vehicle with his eyes shut. A junior nurse gave him a light push and said, “Hey, we’ve arrived, wake up.” However, he did not respond.
