Liang Wenjing's ability to lead Enheng Pharmaceutical to where it is today is not just due to luck. She possesses a keen market sense and a clear understanding of politics, completely different from her seemingly perfect husband.

Liang Wenjing quickly calmed down from her initial anger and unwillingness. Although Enheng Pharmaceutical had gained some strength, it did not mean she had the right to challenge the government. Geng Wenjun was originally supposed to support her, but Secretary Zhou's opinion made him change his mind immediately.

As Liang Wenjing calmed down, she realized she might have made a significant mistake. She shouldn't have encouraged the investors and business leaders in the High-Tech Zone to jointly petition. Although she thought she was being smart, it inadvertently touched upon the most sensitive area of the government, creating pressure on the High-Tech Zone Government.

More crucially, Xu Chunliang had a strong background. There were two possibilities that could make Secretary Zhou intervene: one, Secretary Zhou wanted to protect Xu Chunliang himself; two, someone so influential wanted to protect Xu Chunliang that even Secretary Zhou had to comply. If it was the former, she might still plead her case to Secretary Zhou, but if it was the latter, then every word she said was a mistake.

The more Liang Wenjing thought about it, the more she believed in the latter possibility. Otherwise, the High-Tech Zone branch wouldn't have released Xu Chunliang without even consulting her. Liang Wenjing pondered for a long time and became very interested in Xu Chunliang.

Liang Wenjing had a good friend in Changxing, the head of the medical aesthetics center, Cai Rongjuan. She contacted Cai Rongjuan, hoping to get some information about Xu Chunliang from her.

The incident of Xu Chunliang beating the president of Enheng Pharmaceutical caused quite a stir. Cai Rongjuan couldn't have been unaware. She didn't take the chance to kick Xu Chunliang when he was down because he didn't owe her anything; in fact, it was thanks to Xu Chunliang that she managed to avoid a medical fraud compensation case.

Cai Rongjuan wasn't in a position to speak well of Xu Chunliang, so she gave a cautious three-word evaluation of him: "not simple."

Liang Wenjing didn't inquire further. For Cai Rongjuan to describe someone with these three words, he definitely wasn't just a brute.

Cai Rongjuan reminded Liang Wenjing that she had actually met Xu Chunliang. Only then did Liang Wenjing recall meeting the rebellious young man a few months ago when she went to the medical aesthetics center to consult Cai Rongjuan. She had sensed at the time that the young man did not respect Cai Rongjuan, the esteemed elder, and now she matched the person to the memory.

Liang Wenjing inquired about Xu Chunliang's background. Cai Rongjuan didn't know much, only that Xu Chunliang entered the hospital through the relationship with Deputy Dean Gao Xinhua, but Dean Zhao Feiyang valued him highly, entrusting him with significant responsibilities at a young age. He was recently appointed as the dean of the Weishan Island Branch.

Liang Wenjing felt that Cai Rongjuan hadn't touched on the key point. She understood Zhao Feiyang's background very well, but even Zhao Feiyang wouldn't have the ability to make Secretary Zhou intervene unless...

Could it be that Zhao Feiyang persuaded his father to step in for Xu Chunliang?

Even if that were the case, Secretary Zhou might not necessarily respect an already retired senior, so who exactly was standing up for Xu Chunliang?

Zhao Xiaohui awoke, and the first thing she did was to worry about her child. Without any family by the bedside, Tang Mingmei, the head of the nursing department, had been in the ICU all afternoon.

Tang Mingmei was not there to inspect things; she knew the trouble Xu Chunliang had caused, and she also understood that at this moment, the only person who could help Xu Chunliang was perhaps Zhao Xiaohui.

Only Zhao Xiaohui waking up and speaking the truth might help Xu Chunliang get out of his predicament.

Tang Mingmei informed Zhao Xiaohui that the embryo in her womb was fine, and she wasn't sure why Zhao Xiaohui cared so much about this life.

Hearing that everything was fine, Zhao Xiaohui was so moved that tears streamed down her face.

Tang Mingmei felt that her mental state was all right, and immediately told Zhao Xiaohui about Xu Chunliang's situation.

Zhao Xiaohui was stunned, and the scene of the accident immediately surged in her mind. In that moment of the car crash, the first person she thought of was Xu Chunliang, and his words echoed in her mind.

—"I don't care who he is; if he dares to bully you, you must tell me, and I'll stand up for you."

Zhao Xiaohui began to sob, moved by Xu Chunliang's promise of unwavering support, and also regretting the call she made to him, feeling that she had gotten him into trouble.

Tang Mingmei said, "Miss Zhao, what exactly happened last night? I believe Xu Chunliang wouldn't hit someone for no reason. You're the only one who can help him now."

Zhao Xiaohui sniffled, "I want to make a call."

Sheng Chaohui frowned at the unfamiliar number on his phone. He was having someone help him with his discharge procedures, having lost faith in the Medical University Affiliated Hospital. He believed those so-called experts were all quacks only after fame and fortune because he clearly saw three centipedes crawling into his head, yet these experts insisted there was nothing wrong.

Xu Chunliang had personally told him he was forced to swallow a Five Poison Heart Attack Pill, but these people couldn't find any evidence and even claimed he was perfectly fine.

Sheng Chaohui planned to go directly to the Capital City, seek out the best hospitals, and find the most skilled specialists; he had to go immediately, as any delay would be too late.

He answered the phone with doubt, and upon recognizing Zhao Xiaohui's voice, he was shocked that this woman had woken up.

"If Xu Chunliang has any problems... I won't let you go..."

"You dare to threaten me! What does your car accident have to do with me? Don't think I'll be afraid of you!"

"Just try it. I've died once already, and I fear nothing. I... I'm going to expose you, you beast in human clothing..."

Sheng Chaohui's hand started to tremble, "What exactly do you want?"

Zhao Xiaohui had already hung up.

Inside, Sheng Chaohui felt unease and anxiety, as if hundreds of bugs were gnawing at his heart, his heartbeat accelerating uncontrollably, and cold sweat dripping from his forehead. His assistant also noticed something was wrong, "President Sheng..."

"Get out! Everyone get out!"

Sheng Chaohui drove everyone out of the ward, wiped the cold sweat off his face, covered his chest, and only after his heartbeat slowed down a bit did he call his wife.

Liang Wenjing's impatient voice came through the receiver: "What else do you have to say? If you're not comfortable, you can be discharged. You can go wherever you want for a checkup."

"Wenjing, forget it."

Liang Wenjing fell silent.

"I don't want to press charges anymore, please arrange for his release as soon as possible."

Liang Wenjing said, "He's already been released."

Xu Chunliang walked out of the High-Tech Zone police station, turned on the phone returned by the police, and checked the missed calls, among which he saw Mei Ru Xue's number. She should know about this too.

Xu Chunliang shook his head; good news never travels as fast as bad, and he really didn't want her to know about this embarrassing incident.

The sound of a car horn startled him. As he looked up, Lu Qi was driving a police car and appeared in front of him: "Need a ride?"

Xu Chunliang opened the back door of the car, then remembered something, closed the door, and opened the front passenger door to get in.

Lu Qi, guessing what this guy was thinking, couldn't help laughing: "Are you worried I'd take you back to the station?"

Xu Chunliang said, "Usually those who sit in the back are leaders, but police cars are an exception."

Lu Qi laughed heartily: "Where to?"

Xu Chunliang said, "I want to go back to the hospital first. I heard Zhao Xiaohui woke up. Is this why I was released?" He thought Zhao Xiaohui must have spoken on his behalf, allowing him to get off the hook.

Lu Qi said, "It seems to have nothing to do with her. Before she woke up, the High-Tech Zone station received orders to release you."

Xu Chunliang said, "Thanks!"

"Don't thank me, I don't even know what's going on. You're impressive, though. Last time Director Chen stepped in after you hit Tang Tianyi, and this time I heard Secretary Geng from the High-Tech Zone did. What's your connection with him?"

Xu Chunliang was also a bit puzzled. Geng Wenjun was Geng Wenxiu's older brother, but he didn't know Geng Wenjun, and his relationship with Geng Wenxiu wasn't great. She had no reason to intervene for him. Could it have been Gao Xinhua and Zhao Feiyang who helped?

Xu Chunliang decided to call Gao Xinhua first to report that he was safe.

Gao Xinhua was also surprised he was released so soon. Originally, he was going to bite the bullet and find the old commander. He said it had nothing to do with him and nothing to do with Zhao Feiyang either.

Xu Chunliang understood that if it had nothing to do with Zhao Feiyang, it had nothing to do with Geng Wenxiu either. But with all these people excluded, who on earth helped him? Geng Wenjun wouldn't have intervened for no reason.

Gao Xinhua also found it strange. However, it was a good thing Xu Chunliang was released without charges. It was said Sheng Chaohui chose to voluntarily withdraw the lawsuit, not even demanding an apology, meaning the matter was concluded. This guy really has good fortune.

Lu Qi took Xu Chunliang to the hospital, and Xu Chunliang first went to the ICU to inquire about Zhao Xiaohui's condition, just as Tang Mingmei and Yu Mo were there.

Yu Mo briefly introduced Zhao Xiaohui's situation, which was overall very stable. The prognosis seemed promising, and it now appeared her baby could be saved, though Yu Li still advised against her keeping it.

Wang Jinwu heard Xu Chunliang was back and also came to the entrance of the ICU ward to meet with him.

After the others left, Wang Jinwu gave Xu Chunliang a thumbs-up, having single-handedly stormed the Enheng Headquarters to beat up the president of Enheng Group, unharmed, and the opponent was also the chairman of the Dongzhou Sanda Association.

Wang Jinwu said, "Kid, you've made a name for yourself in one battle; you're definitely the Zhao Zilong of Dongzhou."

Xu Chunliang said, "Alright, stop flattering me, Brother Jin Wu. Thank you."

"Thank me for what? I didn't do anything to help. The person you should thank is Town Mayor Mei."

Xu Chunliang said, "Her?" He hadn't seen Mei Ru Xue.

Wang Jinwu said, "I called her, originally planning to have her persuade you not to do something impulsive, but guess what? Without another word, she dropped everything at the town and came over. I heard you were arrested, and she was very anxious at the time."

"You saw her?"

Wang Jinwu nodded: "Of course I saw her. Dean Gao was there too. When Dean Gao talked about your situation, she didn't look optimistic, and after listening, she left. After that, you were released. I think it's more than likely she helped you."

At this moment, Zhao Feiyang called, and Xu Chunliang frowned. Zhao Feiyang must have heard he was released and wasn't coming to blame him, was he?
