Chapter 663: Prodigal man.

 

Gu Shuiyao just cried in the taxi without saying anything.

Yang Shu stayed silent with her mother and didn’t speak.

Chen Huan obviously wouldn’t speak either.

Gu Shuiyao said at the beginning that Chen Huan didn’t need to come but Yang Shu said that things would be easier if a man was there so Chen Huan accompanied them.

The three didn’t speak but the taxi driver had something to say.

“Mr. Chen, I’ll be blunt, please don’t be angry!” The taxi driver couldn’t hold back anymore as they were waiting at the redlight, “As a man, you made your woman and daughter this sad? What is this? A man should act like a man!”

Chen Huan: “!?”

“You know me?” He asked in helplessness.

“Of course!” The taxi driver said, “My son is a basketball fan and you’re his favorite player! I also watched you play in the NBA finals, you were great!”

“Thank you.” Chen Huan said, “But…”

“But I have to say it.” The taxi driver cut him off, “Although your wife is a few years older than you, she is very beautiful and your daughter is also very cute, you can’t toss away just because you like fresher ones!”

Even the upset and flustered Gu Shuiyao couldn’t help but intervene after this, “You’re misunderstanding things, I…”

“I didn’t!” The lights turned to green and the driver said as he drove, “I have seen many couples fighting like you two. Ma’am, please don’t defend him. No matter how popular a man is, shouldn’t he still take good care of his wife and child at home? Is he still a man?”

“Driver, I’m only 18 years old.” Chen Huan quickly said.

Chen Huan felt he would become Chen Shimei if he didn’t defend himself.

(Chen Shimei is a Chinese opera character and a byword used in China to describe a heartless and unfaithful man.)

“So what if you’re 18? You can’t be bad at 18?” The driver still didn’t realize the situation.

“Uncle, I’m 8 years old.” Yang Shu helped out Chen Huan.

The driver was stunned.

Huh!?

Things didn’t fit!

Chen Huan was 18 and this little girl was 8… they couldn’t be father and daughter!

He got it now!

He still kept his aggravated tone, “Mr. Chen, you’re still in the wrong! Although this lady already had an 8 years old daughter, you can’t treat her badly! She looks very young and also very beautiful, it won’t be a problem to give you two or three more!”

Chen Huan was feeling speechless, “Driver, just focus on driving! This little girl is my friend and there is a situation in her family so I’m helping out!”

“Oh!” The driver had a look of realization and said, “You should have said that earlier! Sorry, sorry!”

Chen Huan didn’t want to talk to him anymore.

Why would he speak to him?

Does he have to explain himself to every stranger he meets?

However, the other party did it out of goodwill so he didn’t overblow the matter.

Chen Huan even gave him a signature when they were dropping off before he quickly caught up to the running mother and daughter duo.

They went to a hospital.

According to the information they received from the police over the phone and asking around, the three came to a ward in the surgical emergency rooms.

On the doorway, there were several police officers talking.

As they approached, the younger police officer blurted out, “Chen Huan?!”

“Chen Huan? Who’s that?” A middle aged police officer asked.

“Huh, it’s really him!” Another police officer recognized him, “Big bro, Chen Huan is the genius mathematician who proved the world-class conjecture Fermat’s Theorem. CCTV and People Daily also heavily praised him and he’s also the most famous basketball player in the world!”

That Big Bro’s face turned solemn as he completely ignored the latter words.

World-class mathematician?

Someone praised by the top brass?

This was no ordinary guy.

“Hey, little lady, you’re Little Yiyuan, right?” While those three talked, the only policewoman present said to Yang Shu in surprise, “You’re her, right?”

The middle aged police officer reminded her, “Little Ma, pay attention to your image!”

“Right.” The policewoman stopped talking but she looked at Yang Shu with a soft gaze.

No woman would dislike a daughter like Li Yiyuan.

The middle aged police officers already prepared what to say but after seeing that Chen Huan and Yang Shu didn’t seem to be ordinary people, he changed the way he talked.

“This lady here, you’re Yang Chi’s wife, right?” The middle aged police officer asked Gu Shuiyao politely, “I’m the one who just contacted you, I’m Deputy Chief of the Economic Crime Unit, Liang Weidong.”

“Hello, Officer Liang.” Gu Shuiyao replied with clenched fists, “My husband… how is he?”

“His condition has stabilized and is no longer in danger.” Liang Weidong calmly said.

Gu Shuiyao felt her heart let go as a weight lifted off her body and almost fell down.

Luckily, Chen Huan and Yang Shu were behind her. Yang Shu held her hand while Chen Huan supported her back.

After letting out a sigh of relief, Gu Shuiyao calmed down a lot, “So… as the aggressor’s been caught?”

“The people over here don’t have light injuries.” Liang Weidong said, “Your husband took a knife and stabbed five to six people. Three of them were seriously injured while the other almost had an artery fully severed. Luckily, they were able to rescue him.”

“What happened? How could so many people come to my husband?” Gu Shuiyao immediately asked.

When she received the call, Liang Weidong said that Yang Chi had fought with several people and got severely injured. At that time, he wasn’t out of danger yet.

Gu Shuiyao was shocked as she forgot to ask what happened and only thought of rushing over.

Officer Little Ma took over the conversation, “I was in charge of taking testimonies from the other less injured people. Long story short, madam, your husband was playing cards with them and got mad when he lost so he thought they were cheating him so he took out a knife he hid away and started to stab them.”

“My husband was gambling!?” Gu Shuiyao was shocked, “He can’t play cards!”

“But the testimonies from everyone said so.” Little Ma glanced at Yang Shu as her tone relaxed, “According to what they said, your husband has been a gambling addict for a very long time and has lost a lot of money and owed a lot of money…you better mentally prepare yourself!”

Gu Shuiyao sucked in a breath.

Losing a lot of money?

Owed a lot of money?

She almost fell again.

Yang Chi was in charge of their finances.

He lost the huge sum of 100 million yuan?

And still owed money?

Yang Shu was calmer than her at that time and said, “Mama, it’s fine if the money’s gone, I can earn more… as long as dad is fine.”

Gu Shuiyao started to cry again after seeing her mature daughter.
