Attitude Decides Everything, the Aircraft Carrier Makes a U-turn The Head-on Confrontation Between the Young Lady and the President

Tap, tap, tap...

Faster, a little faster... The little maid wished she could grow two extra legs as she sprinted frantically down the corridor, clutching the keys she had just retrieved from the room.

Originally, the little maid had planned to call for backup to rescue their young miss. However, the moment she reached the first floor and saw a massive mob of "Axe Gang" thugs, her face instantly drained of color.

All your underlings have been taken care of by me.

For some reason, this line automatically echoed in the little maid's mind. Their older sister had warned them to keep a low profile in Sea City. This wasn't Macao City; there were plenty of ruthless characters here.

Even a mighty dragon struggles to crush a local snake, not to mention that these factions in Sea City were far beyond being just simple local snakes.

The little maid had always highly respected the head maid's words, and now they had been proven right yet again. The bodyguards they had brought along this time had all been dealt with and were currently squatting by the entrance like prisoners. On top of that, it seemed the police had arrived as well?

The situation outside could no longer be described as merely lively, and the crowd was still growing. This was because... the people from the Dongfang family had also shown up. However, the hundred or so men the Dongfang family brought seemed somewhat inadequate compared to the young miss's massive army of lackeys.

Xia Tongxin's bodyguards, the young miss's lackeys, the Dongfang family's support staff and bodyguards, along with the large swarm of police officers led by Wang Fugui—four different groups of people were gathered outside the hospital, and absolutely no one was getting inside!

A grand total of several thousand people were all stationed outside. Seeing this massive spectacle, the little maid shuddered, her face turning several shades paler. She abandoned the idea of bringing reinforcements to save her young miss, who was currently being held hostage by that Female T-Rex, and obediently chose to take the keys back to pay the ransom.

Otherwise, her young miss might be torn to pieces! She didn't want that, boohoo...

Outside the hospital.

Wang Fugui continuously wiped the sweat from his forehead with a tissue, though for some reason, the more he wiped, the more he sweated.

Holding a megaphone and standing on a makeshift platform, he shouted to the dense crowd below, "Everyone, please calm down! Violence won't solve anything. If you have any demands, just state them, and I'll act as a mediator to guarantee..."

He pleaded earnestly.

Wang Fugui's head was pounding. He still hadn't figured out why the Shen family's operation was so sudden this time. It had been years since he had seen a spectacle of this scale.

What exactly had happened to make them act in such a rush?

And... of all places, it had to be a sensitive location like a hospital. Could it be that someone was injured?

A hit-and-run, an assault, or perhaps a physical altercation...

There were too many possibilities. Standing on the roof of a car, Wang Fugui looked at the hospital's smashed signboard and felt a sudden palpitation. A clear sign of violent conflict—this was the Du family's signature style: if you hit someone, aim for the face; if you cause a scene, smash the signboard first.

Now that the signboard had been smashed, it meant the Du family was truly furious. However... Wang Fugui glanced at the crowd gathered at the hospital entrance. The group of Xia family bodyguards squatting on the ground didn't show any signs of injury or bleeding.

Phew...

Wang Fugui breathed a sigh of relief. As long as there was no blood, it was fine. If someone had died, things would have gotten incredibly troublesome. The fact that the situation hadn't spiraled past the point of no return meant there was still room for negotiation.

Speaking of which, when did the Du family start showing restraint?

It seemed to have started when that little girl took charge, right?

Young Master?

What an archaic title. It was hard to imagine that in this day and age, someone would still use a title like Young Master, and do so with such absolute seriousness and strict hierarchy.

Subconsciously, the image of an icy-looking young girl surfaced in Wang Fugui's mind. Her voice was just like her demeanor—cold and possessing a composure that didn't match her age. As the sole heir to the main branches of both the Shen and Du families, it was understandable if her personality was a bit eccentric.

Anyway... during the few times they had met, she had never even looked him in the eye. It felt like she looked down on him.

The only thing that made Wang Fugui feel slightly better was that it wasn't just him; everyone else received the exact same treatment. The young miss equally "looked down" on everyone.

The same went for the President. Oh, wait, the former President. Not anymore. Now, the former President had made her own impression on the young miss.

A treacherous, despicable woman who went back on her word!

In short, the young miss's presence was a good thing for Wang Fugui. At the very least, it was vastly better than dealing with Du Wanyi. Du Wanyi was a textbook "thug boss" who completely ignored reason and could bend steel rebars with her bare hands. Ridiculous, right?

The young miss deserved a lot of the credit for the shift in the Du family's conduct. The fact that the Du family was being so "well-behaved" today was probably because of her. So... was that little girl inside?

Wang Fugui's expression turned peculiar.

After his earnest persuasion, the scene fell dead silent. The Dongfang family members remained quiet. It seemed they had arrived late; by the time they got there, the area was already densely packed with people, leaving no room even to stand.

They wanted to find their young miss but realized they couldn't even get in. The entrance looked like a war zone, swarming with people, and there were massive boxes of cash just sitting on the ground...

No matter how you looked at it, the scene felt like a movie set. It felt as though people were going to start hacking at each other in the next second.

The Xia family's group didn't dare say a word either, obediently squatting on the ground. The police, led by Wang Fugui, maintained strict discipline. Now, everyone was just waiting to see what the Du family intended to do.

"Mom, he's done talking. I think it's our turn to state our position," the principal muttered softly to his "kind-hearted elderly mother," unable to withstand the pressure of the countless eyes fixed on them.

The dorm auntie was busy "exercising" with a steel pipe in her hands—or rather, "playing golf." She continuously swung the steel pipe, creating sharp, tearing sounds in the air. Swish, swish. As for her fat pig of a son's words... she completely ignored them, acting as if she hadn't heard a thing.

The principal was speechless.

"Mom, Mom..." The principal, refusing to give up, continued to mutter softly.

"Why are you calling for your mom? I heard you, stop shouting!" the dorm auntie snapped, her face full of impatience and her tone fierce.

The principal was speechless again.

Uh... that sounded right, but also somehow wrong?

Was this the legendary level of ruthlessness where you even curse yourself?

"Position? What position? Isn't what we're doing right now enough? The fact that we haven't started swinging is already giving these people face. And he's even using a megaphone, yapping away like a complete @#￥%..."

The dorm auntie looked utterly annoyed as she began to showcase some colorful national slang.

The principal remained speechless.

"The Young Master's order is to not let anyone in. As an old woman, I can't manage anything else and I don't have the authority to. Let them wait." The dorm auntie yawned and kicked the "stupid pig" beside her.

The principal was left speechless once more.

Stumbling a few times, the principal pitifully clutched his backside. Muttering to himself, he began to squeeze his way toward Wang Fugui. There were simply too many people; he had no choice but to push through.

Alright, the truth was he was just too fat. The Du family members had automatically cleared a path for the principal, which was quite a feat in such a crowded situation.

But there was no helping it; he was so fat that he took up the space of one and a half to two people, so he had to squeeze his way through until he reached Wang Fugui's old Santana police car.

"Ahem, hello Officer. I am the principal of Dahai City Noble Academy, my surname is Niu..."

Principal?

A question mark popped up in Wang Fugui's head. Dahai City Noble Academy... wasn't that where his rebellious son went to school? Why was the principal here?

The sense of disconnect was too strong. The principal looked completely out of place here, like he had walked onto the wrong movie set. But the principal's next sentence immediately cleared up Wang Fugui's furrowed brows.

"My mother's surname is Du."

Wang Fugui: "..."

So he was from the Du family. That explained it.

He was indeed the person in charge. Wang Fugui had been observing for a long time and noticed that the Kung Fu Old Lady, dressed like a dorm auntie and holding a steel pipe, had the strongest sense of disconnect and was clearly the one leading this operation.

He had been waiting for the other party to come over and say a few words, but they ignored him.

But now that the principal had come over, they could talk. Wang Fugui hurriedly climbed up from the car, handed the megaphone to someone nearby, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and began to discuss a solution.

"Is it convenient to ask what this is all about? After all, this is a big commotion, and I need to give an explanation to my superiors..."

Wang Fugui spoke with great artfulness, starting off with a classic deflect-and-redirect routine, which happened to be the principal's area of expertise. The two of them began to verbally spar.

A few minutes later, Wang Fugui finally understood the general gist of the situation.

The specific reasons were unclear, but in short, Shen Qinghan had called people over. The point of conflict was that the bodyguards at the door wouldn't let them in, so since the soft approach didn't work, they had to use the hard one...

"How about this, I'll act as a guarantor, let's have your people withdraw first. There are a lot of people watching outside..."

Wang Fugui's meaning was simple: pull the people back first. With such a huge disturbance in the city, even with the police tape up, there were still many nosy onlookers holding up their phones outside. It would be very troublesome if this got posted online.

Times were different now. The Du family's overly united style of doing things would inevitably cause people's imaginations to run wild and lead to some unfavorable rumors.

The principal understood the reasoning, but talking to him was useless. He sighed: "No can do. Our young master has to come out first. This is my mother's order. My mom is as stubborn as a bull..."

Wang Fugui: "..."

No wonder she married someone surnamed Niu.

Wang Fugui was anxious, but soon his eyes lit up: "How about this, give your young master a call. I'll chat with her and see if we can work something out."

The principal looked troubled. He glanced guiltily at his mother's direction, gritted his teeth, and went for it!

He stealthily pulled out his phone.

"Shh, keep your voice down. According to the rules, I shouldn't be letting you call her, otherwise I'd be betraying my own side..." The principal began to complain about his difficulties.

Wang Fugui nodded in understanding. Fortunately, the Du family had reformers like the principal. If they were all stubborn meatheads, they would be doomed. Coasting on their past glory was fine for the short term, but unfeasible in the long run...

In the transition between the old and the new, attitude was very important, otherwise they would be hit by the iron fist of the law.

The Du family did very well in this regard. As the head of the family, Du Wanyi did not step forward to participate in anything. Everything was handled by Brother Doudou Shen Ming. Even the eldest miss had her surname changed and didn't take her mother's surname...

With a good attitude, they could be given some time to change their less decent aspects. After all, it takes time for a large ship to turn around; it can't be corrected instantly.

As long as the attitude was there, everything was negotiable...

"Beep beep beep..."

The call from the principal went straight to the eldest miss's phone in the hospital room.

In the ward.

It was exceptionally quiet, so quiet you could hear a pin drop. From outside, Xia Tongxin's pitiful sniffling and crying could still be heard.

The sudden vibration of the phone almost scared Ye Cheng to death. The heart rate monitor started beeping rapidly as his heart rate spiked. The head maid broke a sweat, but the next moment, a miraculous scene occurred. Almost the exact same heart rate fluctuation appeared again, and then it returned to steady.

Head Maid: "???"

Controlling his heartbeat?

Are you kidding me!

Although this wasn't the first time she had seen Ye Cheng pull off such a maneuver, every time gave the head maid a new experience. It felt unbelievable. To be able to control one's heart rate frequency—was he even human?

Combined with the previous incident at the hospital where Ye Cheng jumped from over twenty meters high and landed completely unscathed, it was hard to imagine just how terrifyingly precise his body control had become.

If these bizarre, unreasonable, and even somewhat anti-human things appeared on Ye Cheng, for some reason... the head maid felt they made a lot more sense, or at least weren't as unreasonable anymore?

This excessive confidence in Ye Cheng was also the fundamental reason why the Eldest Miss's mental state would unravel when she saw him actually lying in the hospital bed. She had been too confident, but this time her confidence had backfired...

The intense contrast shocked Shen Qinghan's heart. A feeling of disappointment and heartache emerged and began to spread!

Ultimately, it manifested in her staring blankly at Ye Cheng. She had never encountered such a situation before and didn't know how to express herself. The only thing she seemed able to do now was to watch quietly like this, only...

"Beep beep beep..."

The phone rang. Ye Cheng's heart rate sped up. Confusion appeared in Shen Qinghan's eyes as she glanced at the phone.

Caller ID: Principal.

Because her attention was on the phone, Shen Qinghan didn't notice Ye Cheng's soaring heart rate on the hospital bed.

"What is it," Shen Qinghan spoke calmly, her voice devoid of any extra emotion.

The moment she spoke, Wang Fugui felt a mountain of pressure. This Eldest Miss really was cold...

"I am Wang Fugui. I've visited your home before..."

"Don't know you." Shen Qinghan's voice was chilly.

Wang Fugui: "..."

So direct, so indifferent.

"Oh, oh, that's fine. I'm not exactly a famous person, so it's normal that you don't remember me..." Wang Fugui braced himself and continued.

"If you have something to say, get straight to the point. I don't want to listen to you spout meaningless nonsense here," Shen Qinghan said.

Wang Fugui sent out an invitation to deflect and redirect.

The Eldest Miss refused and kicked it away.

Wang Fugui: "..."

"It's like this, there are a lot of people outside the hospital, and it might have a somewhat negative impact. If you don't mind, Eldest Miss, I'm willing to act as a guarantor..."

Wang Fugui cut straight to the chase, no longer showing off the charm of language. After all, he could already sense the impatience of the icy girl on the other end of the line, and if he dawdled any longer, she would just hang up.

Inside the room, Wang Fugui's voice could be heard patiently trying to communicate. Ye Cheng let out a sigh of relief, his heartbeat gradually steadying. The head maid, hearing her young miss still crying outside, felt an agonizing pinch in her heart and couldn't sit still...

Outside the room, the sound of hurried footsteps approached.

The little maid, clutching the key, managed to rush back within the time limit set by Dongfang Zhixia. Panting heavily, she held the key out.

"I... hah, I'm back. Let our miss go..."

Dongfang Zhixia nodded. "Here, she's crying. You can have her back."

Dongfang Zhixia set down the pitiful, pink-haired Xia Tongxin and handed her back to the little maid, simultaneously snatching the key from her hand.

"You're despicable, boohoo..." Xia Tongxin wailed, gnashing her teeth. She wanted to lunge forward and bite this vicious woman to death, ready to fight to the bitter end!

The little maid: "???"

Having learned from her previous experience, Dongfang Zhixia preemptively braced her body against the door this time, preventing herself from being tricked again by a certain despicable problem child!

She inserted the key.

"Click!"

The door opened!

"Shen Qinghan!" The moment the door opened, Dongfang Zhixia's furious, sharp shout echoed through the room.

Beep—

Ye Cheng's heartbeat spiked once again. Wow... a brand new "Mount Everest"!

Ye Cheng: "..."

Oh no, it felt like a heart attack!

Having built up a full stack of rage outside the door, Dongfang Zhixia successfully entered a state of "extreme fury" and charged aggressively toward Shen Qinghan!

"Cough, cough..."

Suddenly, a powerful... oh wait, a powerful yet "weak" coughing sound came from inside the room. Dongfang Zhixia stopped in her tracks, and even Shen Qinghan lowered the banana she had been holding at the ready, prepared to throw it at a certain female gorilla.

Both of their gazes simultaneously locked onto Ye Cheng.

Ye Cheng: "..."

Damn it, if I don't wake up now, I might never wake up again. Fuck!!!

Who the hell set me up for this!!!
