her hand. "No, no. I've kept him at home recently. He can't go out, and he has no money to gamble.""That's good," Fu Xiaoyao let out a breath. "But you came to me because of him. Did something happen...Fu Xiaoyao was taken aback and quickly took her phone forward to glance at it, "Lu Hanchuan"

"Well, it's me." Lu Hanchuan responded.

Fu Xiaoyao scratched her hair, "What's the matter If it's important, we can talk later. I need to go somewhere right now."

"Fu family." Lu Hanchuan uttered the two words in a low voice.

Fu Xiaoyao was slightly surprised, "How do you know"

"Aunt Song has told me everything." Lu Hanchuan replied simply.

Fu Xiaoyao managed to squeeze out a smile, “That’s how it is, since you know now, I won’t tell you anymore, I’ll hang up first.”

"Wait." Lu Hanchuan called after her.

Fu Xiaoyao frowned impatiently, "What's wrong"

"Where are you now" Lu Hanchuan asked again.

Fu Xiaoyao glanced at the environment outside the window, "I'm in the car."

"In the car..." Lu Hanchuan muttered softly.

It seems she hasn't arrived yet.

"Go back." Lu Hanchuan commanded.

Fu Xiaoyao pursed her lips, "I won't go back."

"If you go to the Fu family now, don't you think they'll hate you even more" Lu Hanchuan saw that she wouldn't listen, his handsome face darkened.

Fu Xiaoyao took a deep breath, "I know, but I have to go there and find out the girl's current situation."

"What does this have to do with you" Lu Hanchuan said unpleasantly: "This matter, you are not wrong, you don't have the responsibility, and even less obligation to manage. If you single-handedly convict yourself based on that one sentence, then you are truly guilty."

"I..." Fu Xiaoyao was speechless at his words.

Lu Hanchuan didn't need to think, he knew she must be bowing her head now, with a look of grievance.

"Alright, just listen to me and go back. I'll handle this." Lu Hanchuan softened his tone slightly.

"What are you going to do How are you going to handle this" Fu Xiaoyao asked.

Lu Hanchuan didn't answer her, only said: "You just go back."

"No, I'm not going back." Fu Xiaoyao gritted her teeth. "Regardless of whether this is my fault or not, Zi Xuan is my brother. Something so big has happened, and as his older sister, I should go see him. So I won't be going back for now. I'm sorry."

Without giving Lu Hanchuan a chance to respond, she quickly hung up the phone.

Lu Hanchuan's eyebrows jumped fiercely.

This woman, how can she be so stubborn!

"Qiao Mu," Lu Hanchuan spoke in a deep voice.

Joe, driving the car, sat upright and said, "Mr. Lu, is there anything you need"

"Speed up, get there as fast as possible." Lu Hanchuan ordered.

She must have arrived by now, since she left before him.

If he had been a little later, no one would have helped her even if she had been beaten.

"Yes, I understand." Qiao Mu replied with a nod, pressing down on the gas pedal and increasing the speed of the car.

After ten or so minutes, the car came to a stop.

As soon as Lü Hánchuan got out of the car, he strode towards the Fu family mansion. Just as he reached the entrance, he heard a loud slap. Even through the door, the sound was incredibly distinct.

The Fu family only had a few members. That husband and wife would never hit Fu Zixuan, so it goes without saying who was beaten.

In an instant, Lu Hankan felt a surge of intense anger rise from within him. He clenched his fists tightly, staring hard at the door before him, then slammed his foot into it with all his might.

The wooden door couldn't withstand his kick and burst open with a bang.

This sudden turn of events startled everyone in the room. They all turned their heads towards the door, and when they saw Lu Hanzchuan's icy expression, Fu's parents and Fu Zixuan's faces instantly paled.

Especially Fu Zixuan, who was even more spineless and hid behind his mother.

Only Fu Xiaoyao's expression was different from theirs. She covered her bruised face, her eyes red as she looked at him, her heart filled with both surprise and joy at his appearance.

He came, and that meant she had help, and wouldn't be beaten.

"Just now, you hit her" Lu Hanchuan spoke coldly, a pair of sharp eyes sweeping over everyone present.

Anyone who was caught in his gaze would instinctively shrink their neck, avoiding his eyes.

"No one answers" Lu Hanchuan spoke again, his voice colder.

At this time, Fu's mother bravely stood up, forcing a smile and said, "That, son-in-law, just now was a misunderstanding..."

"A misunderstanding" Lu Hanchuan pulled Fu Xiaoyao over, took her hand away from covering her face, and pointed at her swollen face, looking at Fu's mother with cold eyes. "She's beaten like this, is that a misunderstanding"

"This..." Mother Fu was speechless.

Fu Xiaoyao lowered her head, "Hanchuan, don't ask, I'm fine."

"Shut up!" Lu Hanchuan barked at her, "I told you not to come, but you insisted. You didn't even make a sound after being beaten. You really are something else. Stand aside, I'll teach you a lesson later."

Fu Xiaoyao's body trembled, knowing he was very angry at the moment and dared not defy him. She obediently walked to the side.

Lu Hanchuan turned his gaze back to the family of three, "Who among you hit her just now Step forward."

"Son-in-law..." Mother Fu still wanted to say something.

Lu Hanchuan let out a low growl, "Come out. If you don't come out again, I guarantee he will regret it!"

Hearing the threat in his words, Fu's mother's fat face trembled, and she subconsciously moved to the side, revealing Fu Zixuan behind her.

Fu Xiaoyao didn't expect her own mother to betray her. She was stunned for a moment, and when she came to her senses, Lu Hanchuan stood before her, his eyes narrowed as he stared at her.

"Brother-in-law...... Brother-in-law..." Fu Zixuan swallowed hard, forcing down his fear and calling out to Lu Hanchuan.

Lu Hankan asked, "Was it you who did this"

Fu Zixuan averted his gaze, looking flustered. "I... I didn't mean to. It's not my fault..."

Bang!

"Ah!" Fu Zixuan suddenly screamed, then twisted his face and fell to the ground, covering his stomach with his hand and rolling back and forth on the ground, his mouth filled with cries of pain.

He felt as if he were dying, his stomach burning with a fire that throbbed and spasmed, the pain so intense it caused cramps.

This scene shocked everyone again.

Including Fu Xiaoyao, no one expected Lu Hanchuan to suddenly attack and with such ferocity. He kicked the person to the ground directly. Looking at how far Fu Zixuan was dragged, you could tell how much force he used in that kick.

“What do you think you are, to hit her She is my wife, it's none of your business to discipline her!” Lu Hanchuan looked down at Fu Zixuan, who was in excruciating pain, his eyes cold and devoid of warmth, only a faint killing intent.

"Han Chuan..." Fu Xiaoyao was still worried about how Fu Zixuan was injured, but when she heard Lu Hanchuan's words, she was stunned and a sweet feeling arose in her heart.

He's actually standing up for her.

He finally started taking care of her.

Fu Xiaoyao clasped her hands together, her heart pounding with excitement, so much so that she forgot all about worrying about Fu Zixuan.

However, some people were still worried about Fu Zixuan. Fu's parents had also come to their senses from the shock and immediately ran over to check on Fu Zixuan's condition.

Seeing her son in such pain, Fu's mother cried out heartbreakingly, "My child, my child..."

Her voice was loud, her shout comparable to a loudspeaker. People upstairs and downstairs heard it and rushed over to see what had happened.

Lu Hanchuan was getting a headache from being yelled at by these people and Fu's mother. He pressed his temples, and said in a low voice, "Shut up!"

Though his voice was not loud, the majesty within it could not be concealed.

Everyone, including Fu's mother, instinctively closed their mouths.

Finally, it was quiet. Lu Hanchuan's gloomy expression improved slightly. He took a step forward and stopped beside Fu Zixuan's head.

Fu Zixuan looked up and saw him, his face pale with fright. He hurriedly got up from Fu's mother's arms and knelt before Lu Hanchuan, kowtowing while apologizing, "Brother-in-law, I was wrong, brother-in-law, I really was wrong. Please don't hit me."

He cried, his nose running and tears streaming down his face.

Lu Hanchuan frowned with disdain, "Wrong Where did you go wrong"ight Will she be able to speak again""Of course, you'll be able to speak in two days. It's just that your voice is hoarse from the smoke inhalation, so it might sound different than before, a little r...
