Supreme Heir Son-in-law

Chapter 926 - 925: Temporary Custody

He Chen followed the direction Xu Ke was pointing and immediately saw a man with drool all over his chin. His eyes filled with disgust, as a person with a cleanliness obsession couldn’t stand such a scene or such people.

Given He Chen’s zero tolerance for filth, he should have ordered someone to remove this man from his sight. However, just thinking about what this man planned to do to his precious sister made it impossible for him to control the rage in his heart and his determination to kill the man. This determination was enough to support him in forcibly ignoring his discomfort and keeping the man in his presence.

"It’s you who schemed against my sister? Are you fucking worthy?"

He Chen kicked the man in the chest, sending him sprawling on his back, arms and legs in the air.

The enthusiastic onlookers, at the moment He Chen arrived with an entourage, all chose to keep silent. People like He Chen, who appeared with bodyguards and had an extraordinary presence and demeanor, they had only seen on TV.

When seen on TV, they might have had some fanciful thoughts, but when such a figure appeared before them in reality, they were so nervous even their breathing felt light, fearing they might ruin the scene or be noticed by He Chen.

After all, compared to He Chen, they were like toads catching insects in the fields compared to a swan flying in the sky, which almost made them want to write the words "inferiority" on their faces.

He Chen had no idea what the surrounding people thought of him, and even if he knew, he wouldn’t care. In his eyes, there was only the man lying on the ground with limbs splayed and He Qing lying on the bed, unable to move freely.

The thought of what his sister almost experienced without his knowledge made He Chen kick the man a few more times, each kick stronger than the last, until the man’s mouth bled before he stopped reluctantly.

The bodyguards, who had followed He Chen for so many years, had never seen him so angry before or cursing. Such a scene could only be described as fantastical.

And after kicking the man until he lay on the ground with blood dripping from his mouth, He Chen finally felt some relief in his oppressive chest, his mood slightly improved, but only just a little.

"How’s my sister?" After teaching the man a lesson, He Chen returned to the bedside and asked Xu Ke while looking at He Qing.

Perhaps it was because Xu Ke had protected his sister in unseen places and was the first to inform him, so He Chen’s prejudice towards Xu Ke didn’t seem so pronounced. At least when speaking with Xu Ke, there were no signs of knives or frost.

"She’s physically fine, but can’t speak or move; her consciousness is still there. It should be something like a muscle relaxant," Xu Ke expressed his suspicion, looking at He Qing.

"Will it harm the body?"

"I don’t know which kind he used or in what dosage, so I can’t judge. It’s best to have her checked at the hospital." Xu Ke expressed his guess, causing He Chen’s just-relaxed expression to darken again, and his gaze on the man was filled with unconcealed murderous intent.

He Chen had no intention of concealing his desire to kill the man, even blatantly displaying it in front of the police. The man, who initially pretended to be seriously injured lying on the ground, was chilled by He Chen’s gaze. He instinctively wriggled his body to stay as far away from He Chen as possible. Ideally, he’d find a place to hide completely, which would be much safer.

The man’s eyes darted around, hoping to find a place to hide. When his eyes landed on a policeman in uniform, they lit up; he began to call towards the police, moving his body to crawl closer to them for protection.

Just as he started to wriggle towards the officers, a pair of black leather shoes blocked his path. His eyes dimmed, wriggling past them, only to find another pair of black leather shoes appear in his way. Every path toward the police was blocked by pairs of black leather shoes.

The man anxiously continued crying out to the police, eyes filled with urgency, as if accusing them of their actions.

The police dispatched to the scene were also distressed at the sight before them. They initially thought this was a simple case, having caught the perpetrator red-handed. They only needed to bring him to the station and wait for a verdict.

The case was simple, but He Chen’s appearance changed everything. The leading officer faced a difficult situation, unsure of what to do.

They couldn’t afford to offend the He Family, but it was already improper to let He Chen impose private punishment earlier. Now, the man was obviously seeking help from the police. If they didn’t respond, what would the onlookers think of them? How would they maintain their credibility?

They were in a "riding the tiger" situation. The police chief, in a decisive move, stepped forward and said to He Chen, "Young Master He, we need to take this person to the station. What do you think?" The lead officer glanced at the man, his face involuntarily showing a fawning smile.

"Take him away? That’s easy to say. This man tried to harm my sister; you think you can just slip him away with mere words? No way! Let me make it clear: impossible! He dared harm my sister, I intend to deal with him personally," He Chen rejected bluntly, showing no concern for the man’s plea.

Seeing the police chief’s expression like a mask plastered over his face, full of difficulty and embarrassment, Xu Ke stepped in, saying, "Right now, Miss He’s safety is more important. We need to take her to the hospital. As for this man, let the police take him for now. We’re not in a position to deal with him here, and it’s not convenient to move him now. Better to leave him at the station, and then deal with him after Miss He is checked."

The latter part of Xu Ke’s words was spoken softly into He Chen’s ear, so only He Chen could hear him in the room.

He Chen’s expression softened considerably with Xu Ke’s words, especially since Xu Ke used the word "deposit" concerning the man, which greatly pleased He Chen. He nodded, signaling to his bodyguards to clear the way for the police to take the man away.

The lead officer breathed a sigh of relief, showing a grateful expression to Xu Ke, and, as if afraid He Chen might change his mind, quickly escorted the man out of the area.
