Chapter 289 - 190: Hu Zhicong’s Breakdown! Parting Gift

When Hu Zhicong groggily awoke, his first instinct was to get up. He still had to go take Chen Jincheng down with him. He couldn’t waste time just because of a nightmare.

But the slightest movement sent a sharp pain shooting through his body, as if a bone were broken. He sucked in a sharp breath of cold air.

Trying to move again, he discovered his hand was handcuffed to the hospital bed.

His eyes widened.

He came to his senses with a jolt of horror. It hadn’t been a dream. He had taken a dagger to assassinate Chen Jincheng, only to be sent flying with a shoulder throw without even touching him. And now, somehow, he’d been arrested.

"No! Why?! This isn’t fair..." Hu Zhicong roared in fury. He tried to struggle, but the movement pulled at his injuries, and tears of pain streamed down his face.

"What’s all the shouting for? Don’t you know this is a hospital?" A duty nurse stormed in, her face a mask of anger, followed by two police officers who were guarding him. They had clearly heard the commotion.

One of the officers warned him directly, "Hu Zhicong, you’d better behave."

"Get lost, you bastards! Let me go!" Hu Zhicong was in no state to listen to reason, shouting like a man with nothing left to lose.

Seeing his warning had no effect, the officer was a bit annoyed.

’This wanted fugitive... how can he still not grasp the situation after being caught?’

The duty nurse, apparently fed up with Hu Zhicong’s behavior, scoffed, "A total scrub like you—who gave you the nerve to act so arrogant in a hospital?"

With that, she walked right into the room, turned on the TV, took out her phone to cast its screen, and started playing a video.

Fugitive Attacks Chen Jincheng at Ganjiang University Dance Department Gala Tonight, Gets Instantly Taken Down for Being an Utter Weakling...

Hu Zhicong watched the video playing on the TV. He was about to start cursing again, but the words caught in his throat. He couldn’t get a single one out.

Especially when he saw the part where he charged at Chen Jincheng with the dagger, only to be instantly taken down. He really did look like the "utter weakling" the video described.

Humiliation and shame turned to fury. "Turn it off! Turn it off...!"

It had been uploaded to the internet. He was now a laughingstock across the web.

"You want me to turn it off just because you say so?" The nurse was feisty. Not only did she not turn it off, she switched to another video.

Wanted CYH Boss Flees a Thousand Miles to Ganjiang University to Assassinate Chen Jincheng, Gets Dropped in a Single Encounter...

...

CYH Boss Delivers a Gift to His Enemy, Chen Jincheng, Handing Him a Huge Publicity Boost and Gaining Him 400,000 New Followers in a Short Time...

...

The duty nurse played one video after another for Hu Zhicong, all of them about the incident.

At first, Hu Zhicong was furious with humiliation. But as the videos played on, he looked as if he had suffered the ultimate insult and actually started to cry. "Turn it off... Please, I’m begging you, turn it off..."

Seriously, seeing everyone online mocking him, and knowing his own assassination attempt had helped Chen Jincheng gain more fans... he broke down completely. He was heartbroken enough to cry a river.

It was a sight that would make anyone feel sorry for him.

The duty nurse just snorted coldly. "You’d better behave yourself. Otherwise, I don’t mind playing these for you all night long. It’s not like I can sleep anyway."

But Hu Zhicong’s eyes were vacant. All he could do was lie there, silent tears streaming from his eyes.

The two police officers, however, looked at the duty nurse with a sparkle in their eyes.

’This nurse has some personality. I wonder if she’s single.’

「...」

Chen Jincheng, completely unaware that Hu Zhicong was being handled by a duty nurse, had already returned to the hotel with Xiaoju.

When they reached their respective doors, Xiaoju finally mustered her courage again. "Cheng, are you really not coming over tonight?"

’I’ve already made the first move. He has to know what I mean. He should at least give me an out, right?’

"Xiaoju, stay true to yourself. Don’t get mixed up with a scumbag like me," Chen Jincheng said to the girl, his tone still very serious.

Xiaoju was clearly stunned by his words.

’What is with this guy? Can’t he just give me an out?’

Annoyed, she retorted, "I was just testing you. I guess you’re a man of your word after all."

With that, she huffily opened her door and went inside. After shutting it, she couldn’t help but stomp her feet in frustration, treating the floor like it was Chen Jincheng, that clueless scumbag.

’He just had to be so difficult with a girl, didn’t he?’

Chen Jincheng had also swiped his key card and entered his room, a smile spreading across his face.

He still liked it when she acted tough.

Of course, he wouldn’t be paying her a visit tonight. After all, he had a date with the young married teacher. They had to have a proper get-together before he left tomorrow.

Meanwhile, after Li Suwan, Huang Yanfang, and He Fang returned to the university, the first thing they did was change out of their dance costumes. Li Suwan then hurried home, took a shower, and, wrapped in a towel, began rummaging through her closet.

Chen Tongxue was leaving tomorrow. Tonight’s farewell "session" definitely required some special effort to give him a better experience. Otherwise, once he was back in Coastal City with all those beautiful women at his company, he might just forget all about her.

After searching for a long time, she found a purple nightgown.

It was made of a light gauze that would look somewhat transparent under the lights, making it very alluring.

She thought for a moment, then took out a pair of scissors and snipped a bit of fabric from both sides of the thin straps. This gave the nightgown an even more provocative touch. When she put it on, it would be impossible to keep her chest fully contained.

More than half would be exposed on either side.

She put down the scissors, immediately put on the nightgown, and snapped a photo in front of the mirror, sending it to Chen Tongxue.

"Do you like this nightgown? I’ll wear it for you tonight!" Li Suwan sent another message, asking.
