There were lacerations all over Chu Yunfan’s body. He also had many broken bones and dislocations. The price he had to pay for this strike would have been huge if he had been in the wilderness.
With laborious help from Tang Siyu, Chu Yunfan managed to get to the first aid room in the base to receive treatment. On the surface, he looked fine, but the medical equipment flashed with bright red warning messages. After enduring the initial intense pain, he felt much better afterward.
Looking at Chu Yunfan in his current condition, Tang Siyu’s eyes turned red. A chord in her heart seemed to have been struck. Seeing Chu Yunfan grimacing in pain, and not as macho as he had been while fighting earlier, Tang Siyu was both angry and amused.
She said, “Who told you to push yourself so hard? Now you understand what pain is.”
“I didn’t think too much about it at that time. Thinking that you had been kidnapped, I rushed over in a moment of hot-headedness.”
Chu Yunfan chuckled and said, “But Jiang Yusheng is indeed very strong. Being reasonable, I didn’t know if I had a 100% chance of winning.”
“Then why did you still fight?” Tang Siyu said as she glanced at him.
“I had no choice. If I hadn’t done so, he would have cut my legs off. D*mn, he’s really ruthless. Are all wealthy families so cruel?” Chu Yunfan cursed.
At that time, he had no choice. It was not just because of Tang Siyu but also for himself. Jiang Yusheng had threatened his family, which made Chu Yunfan really angry.
“Don’t lump all wealthy families together,” Tang Siyu said, looking a little sad, “Not all wealthy people are like Jiang Yusheng. Many are the same in their bones. It’s just that some people put that kind of arrogance on the surface, and some people hide it.”
Chu Yunfan grinned. He understood the meaning behind Tang Siyu’s words. Because he was too weak, Jiang Yusheng could not even be bothered to pretend with him. But not everyone was like Jiang Yusheng. He looked brainless, but in fact, he had been expecting to win. Who would put on an act for an ant?
Chu Yunfan pondered over this cruel fact. But when he thought about how that last slash had made that big shot roll around on the ground, he felt elated. Thinking of this, Chu Yunfan could not help but laugh out loud. The wounds all over his body filled with intense pain, causing him to grimace in pain.
“But not everyone is like that,” Tang Siyu said, “In a big family, there are all kinds of people.”
“What about Jiang Lingxiao?” Chu Yunfan suddenly asked.
“He’s very strong. I only know that he’s strong. In fact, I’ve never actually met him. If my half-sister hadn’t died in an accident during battle, I probably wouldn’t have to marry him” Tang Siyu said, her expression filled with sadness, “Just now, you heard Jiang Yusheng say that I’m the child of a mistress. In a big family like ours, all children born of mistresses are the same. Regardless of whether it’s a man or a woman, in the end, they’re all used for marriage. Men marry the women of the Tang family and women marry the men. The women may even be wedded off to the family that they want to ally. From the moment we are born, our fates have been sealed.
“No matter how glamorous it all looks on the surface and how well-fed we are, we’re just tools.” Tang Siyu laughed bitterly.
“I feel like I’m listening to a story from ancient times!” Chu Yunfan said, “I don’t believe that fate has been predestined since birth. Well, maybe there is. But even if there is, I would smash it. How can I know if I don’t try? You fled to Calm Ocean City and No. 13 High to try to get into Federation University on your own strength is a form of resistance, is it not? But things are different now. At least, you have us as friends.
“Actually, I know that even if I enter Federation University, I won’t be able to escape the net of the Jiang and Tang families…” Tang Siyu clenched her fists as she spoke.
“Then go even higher. So high that even the Jiangs and Tangs have no choice but to look up to you. When the time comes, go to those d*mned families, and just like Lieutenant Xue, slap them to death with a single slap until their heads roll off!” Chu Yunfan guffawed. He grimaced in pain but did not mind it.
The two slaps that Xue Bailong had given Jiang Yusheng were simply too gratifying.
Let Jiang Yusheng be arrogant! No matter how arrogant he was, he had not been able to resist the two slaps!
Seeing Chu Yunfan’s pained expression mixed with happiness, Tang Siyu felt angry and amused at the same time. The knot in her heart loosened. That’s right. If Federation University was not enough, then she would continue to advance until she could decide her own fate.
Suddenly, the door of the infirmary opened. Xue Bailong walked in and looked at Chu Yunfan. “Are you feeling better now?”
“I’m much better. Thank you for your concern, Lieutenant Xue,” Chu Yunfan said.
“Lieutenant Xue,” Tang Siyu hurriedly greeted.
“There’s no use flattering me. Just transfer me 300,000 yuan,” Xue Bailong said with a straight face.
“Understood, sir,” Chu Yunfan said with a hint of defeat in his voice. Xue Bailong had helped him out just now, so he had to accept this tradeoff.
“You can really stir up trouble. I’ve never met a guy who can stir up trouble like you,” Xue Bailong said, “But you’ve really offended the Jiangs. You beat up Jiang Yusheng and even stole the Jiangs’ daughter-in-law.”
“Hey, Lieutenant Xue, you can say whatever you want but don’t spout nonsense. When did I steal someone’s daughter-in-law? Besides, you’re the one who slapped him twice, right?” Chu Yunfan said immediately.
Tang Siyu’s face turned bright red.
“I can hit him because I have something on him, but you can’t. Still, kid, you’re in big trouble. If I let you choose again, would you still rush over so rashly? After all, Tang Siyu is fine,” Xue Bailong said.
“I think so. A man should do whatever they set their mind on. I’m still young, and I don’t have a deep understanding of life. I know that some things can be tolerated. But if we tolerate everything, then what’s the meaning of life?” Chu Yunfan said without hesitation.
“You’re a good candidate to join the army. What a pity,” Xue Bailong shook his head and said regretfully.
It was as if Chu Yunfan had done something that he was willing to fall into. Chu Yunfan did not know whether to laugh or cry.
“Since you’re fine, I’m relieved. You should rest well. Take advantage of these few days when you’re locked in the isolation room and make preparations. There’ll be a wilderness survival program in a few days. If they take action, it’ll be then,” Xue Bailong said.
“I understand.” Chu Yunfan’s expression immediately became solemn.
“Then, I shall be leaving now.”
Xue Bailong departed.
After completing his treatment, Chu Yunfan locked himself into the isolation room.
