Tit For Tat (Beloved Enemy) - Chap 43
GuQingPei looked at YuanYang’s shoulder that is still dripping blood, with his forehead sweating bullets, “You… you okay? The wound deep?”
“Not deep, give me your scarf.”
GuQingPei took off his scarf and handed it to him; his hand shivering slightly. YuanYang teased, “Director Gu will also be anxious?”
“Bullshit, your dad is my big boss. I’ll be my bad luck if he was to blame me.” YuanYang creased his brows, “You just care about this? You don’t worry about me?”
GuQingPei responded, “Seeing that you’re quite alert, you should be fine. Why do you need the scarf? To stop the bleeding?”
YuanYang wrapped the scarf around his arm’s artery and made a knot, biting one end with his mouth and pulling the other end with his hand to tighten it.
GuQingPei looked at the sweat protruding from his forehead and felt that his injury may not be as minor as he made it to appear. He touched YuanYang’s face, “If it hurts, just say it, don’t act.”
“If I say it hurts, so what? It’s not like saying it would make it not hurt.” YuanYang curled his lips, “You’re not worried anyway.”
GuQingPei really can’t tell him, “I’m worried.” These kind of words are too corny. He sighed, “Earlier, thanks much.”
If YuanYang didn’t push him away, the one with his back gashed would have been him.
YuanYang narrowed his eyes at him, “You’re touched?”
GuQingPei smiled, “A bit.”
YuanYang leaned close to his ears, “Then compensate with your flesh is enough (meaning payback with intimacy, sex, etc).”
The police sitting in front finally couldn’t stand it anymore and coughed, “Hey you two comrades, it’s not like there is nobody driving here.”
GuQingPei embarrassingly smiled, “How long till we get to the hospital?”
“After turning on this street, we should be there in about a minute.”
YuanYang took a long breath, leaning on GuQingPei and whispered, “In fact, it really does hurt.”
GuQingPei softly raked through his hair, “Hang in there.”
YuanYang leaned his face forward, “Give me a kiss.”
The little policeman in front sighed, “Seriously, there is people driving here.”
GuQingPei hesitated a little then gently kissed him.
“That’s it?” YuanYang was not satisfied. After all, this is still the first time GuQingPei kissed him.
GuQingPei gripped his chin and kissed him again. This time the kiss was deep and intense.
The two police officers sitting in the front peeked from the rear-view mirror.
YuanYang got very excited and vigorously sucked on GuQingPei’s lower lip, his agile tongue slipped over his gums and thrashed inside his mouth.
Suddenly the car brake to an abrupt stop, the two fell to one side.
The policeman who was driving quickly got out of the car and opened the door for them, “Out, out, out, we’re at the hospital, get out.”
GuQingPei apologized and smiled at him. He looked so strikingly dapper that even the little policeman was a bit embarrassed.
YuanYang walked into the hospital by himself. The stretchers that had been prepared at the entrance of the hospital were used to transport the gangsters that YuanYang had beaten up.
After YuanYang removed his clothes at the hospital, GuQingPei realized that the wound on his shoulder was not shallow. Even though it didn’t hit the bones, the shining white bone can already be seen from the open flesh.
GuQingPei felt his heart tightening.
Even though he had a lot of dissatisfaction toward YuanYang, so much that he even resents him secretly, they have been together for several months after all, not to mention their fuck-buddy relationship. So seeing YuanYang seriously hurt made him feel considerable pain.
He clenched his fists, those who dared to attack them in the streets and the people behind them must not be let off.
The doctor treated YuanYang’s wounds. There were a total of 12 stitches.
After the suturing, Lawyer Zhao quickly rushed in. His face was pale as paper as he quickly asked YuanYang about the circumstances to his injury the moment he saw him.
The police pulled him away because they haven’t yet started with their interrogation.
Lawyer Zhao pulled GuQingPei to a side, with cold sweat visible on his forehead, “Director Gu, what are we going to do about this? Chairman Yuan’s side……”
GuQingPei furrowed his brows. He was still thinking on how he was going to explain to YuanLiJiang. This incident can be said that the other party is extremely vicious, but it can also be said that they are incompetent, forcing the other party to be driven to such desperate actions.
In any case, the eldest young master of the Yuan family being gashed by a group of gangsters abroad, there is no escaping responsibility for them. With the Yuan family’s powerful status in Beijing, their eldest child getting attack, if they wanted to press this issue, the consequences are unimaginable. It just depends on whether YuanLiJiang wanted to exacerbate the issue.
GuQingPei said quietly, “Lawyer Zhao, this matter, you should not tell anyone.”
“Okay.”
GuQingPei sighed, “I’ll talk to Chairman Yuan. This matter can’t be blamed on you. You don’t have to bear the burden.”
Lawyer Zhao sighed, “To blame me or not to blame me, Director Gu, it all depends on him (YuanLiJiang).”
GuQingPei patted his shoulder, “The dealings with the police, I’m going to leave it to you. Do you know what to do?” He raised his chin to several gangsters who were strictly guarded on the opposite side of the bed.
“You can be rest assured. If needed, each and every one will be investigated. I won’t even leave one out.”
“GuQingPei,” YuanYang started to call him.
GuQingPei walked over.
“They needed to ask you some questions.” YuanYang was referring to the police.
GuQingPei followed the police to the side. The police asked him to repeat the entire incident. He was very skillful in his response, concealing the truth about the lawsuit against them. He also believed that YuanYang will not be stupid enough to say anything. Sure enough, looking at the expressions on the police, what he and YuanYang said were along the same lines.
After the police and Lawyer Zhao left, YuanYang and GuQingPei stayed in the single ward, with their eyes looking at each other.
YuanYang can’t help but asked, “Why do you keep staring at me?”
“I was just thinking on how to tell Chairman Yuan about this.”
“You don’t need to tell him,” YuanYang responded, “With these gangsters here, it’s enough to drag those people down. There is no need to let my dad know. My dad’s temper can be quenched but my mom can’t. Her temper is explosive. She will certainly make a big deal out of this. Then at the time, the judgment of the lawsuit may be affected.“
GuQingPei shook his head, “No. This matter can’t be hidden from Chairman Yuan. There are no impenetrable walls in the world. If Chairman Yuan finds out, he will definitely blame me.”
YuanYang sighed impatiently, “Forget it. I’ll call him then.”
GuQingPei nodded, “Clarify the situation with him. It is best to use his status to completely suppress the other party so that they won’t have leeway to turn this situation around. Otherwise, we may be subjected to retaliation.”
“I know.” YuanYang took out his cell phone, “You go out for a while. I’m going to call him.”
GuQingPei walked out of the ward. It’s already late at night. The hallway is dark with no one in sight. It felt a bit gloomy. He leaned against the wall and thought quietly.
His mind is fixated on YuanYang’s shoulder stitches. Thinking of those shiny machetes, GuQingPei still has a lingering fear. Those bastards actually resorted to this course of action from losing a lawsuit. Not only will he shut them up completely, he’ll also make them pay for the things that happened today.
After half an hour, GuQingPei returned to the ward. YuanYang was lying on the bed with his eyes closed.
He quietly walked toward him. YuanYang opened his eyes and tiredly glanced at him, “I talked to my dad.”
“How did it go?”
“He was very calm and said he’ll handle this.”
Just when GuQingPei was going to say something, his cell phone rang. He didn’t have to look to know that it’s YuanLiJiang’s call.
GuQingPei took the phone and went outside to answer the call, “Hello, Chairman Yuan.”
YuanLiJiang’s voice is heavy and resolute. It’s a seriousness that he has never heard before, “Director Gu, how could this happen?”
GuQingPei responded, “The other party might have heard the news that they would lose so they proposed a settlement. But their terms were extremely unreasonable. I didn’t agree to it, leading to this accident.”
“There is a problem with the way you handled this situation.” YuanLiJiang gloomily added, “If something happened to YuanYang today, how could winning this lawsuit make up for it?”
GuQingPei whispered, “Chairman Yuan, I’m sorry.”
YuanLiJiang lowly responded, “You are still too young.”
This is the first time GuQingPei heard YuanLiJiang talk to him in such a serious tone and with this kind of dignifying imposing manner. Even with the phone separating them, he felt a distinct pressure in his heart.
GuQingPei responded “Chairman Yuan, this matter I didn’t handle it well. I’ll bear the consequences.”
“What can you bear? QingPei, I don’t want to blame you but I’m too old. I can’t endure this kind of fear. Luckily, nothing too severe happened to the both of you, otherwise…” YuanLiJiang sighed, “Forget it. Let’s not talk about that. I’m going to take the earliest flight there tomorrow. I’ll contact the director of the local tax bureau and will start by checking that company’s books. Anyone who dares threaten my Yuan family, I’ll wipe them out completely.”
GuQingPei’s heart trembled.
YuanLiJiang then changed his tone and comforted him with a few words. This tactic of giving a slap to the face then giving sugar, GuQingPei would not be fooled, though he appeared to be very grateful.
After hanging up the phone, GuQingPei stood in the hallway for a long time. Until the door of the ward opened and YuanYang came out, “Why aren’t you coming in? My dad said something to you?”
“I’m fine, just reflecting.”
“Reflecting on what?”
“I did not handle this matter well, forcing the other party to resort to desperate measures.”
“If we didn’t suppress it to an additional ten points at the time, would this not have happened?”
The key point of this matter is obviously not that YuanYang had suffered multiple injuries, but that someone wanted to harm YuanYang himself. A family like the Yuan family will absolutely not tolerate such a threat.
YuanYang grimaced, “This can’t be blamed on you. This group of people is too greedy. We can’t agree to that kind of terms. Nobody would agree to that. What did my dad say?”
“He said that he’ll be coming tomorrow.”
YuanYang walked up close to him and pinched his chin smiling, “You looking like this is not like you at all.”
GuQingPei smiled, “I can’t always be too proud of myself. I also have times of failures and incompetence.”
“You can’t go so far as not be able to withstand such setback right?”
“Why would I? My entire work experience is full of setbacks. Did you think that I started out as Director Gu when I began my career?”
“If this is so, then why are you so distressed? Don’t worry. My dad values and likes you a lot. He won’t do anything to you.”
GuQingPei teased him, “You’re changing to comfort me now? Not trying to quickly chase me away?”
YuanYang lowered his head and bit his lips, “If I chase you away, where can I find such ravishing ass to fuck?” His hand meandered down to GuQingPei’s lower body and kneaded his ass.
GuQingPei smiled and licked YuanYang’s lips.
YuanYang whispered, “Was I cool today?”
“Not bad.”
“So was I cool or not?”
“A bit frightening.”
“You now know that I’ve been quite lenient to you,” YuanYang very carefully nibbled his lips, “I’ve always been too lazy to beat you. With you looking like this, hitting you is like bullying you.”
When GuQingPei thought of the miserable state those gangsters are currently in and then think of himself, if he must choose, he’d rather let YuanYang fuck him. With sex, he doesn’t have any strong concept of honor and disgrace. However, missing an arm or having a broken leg will make him die from the pain.
He scoffed, “But you also haven’t been too civilized with me.”
“That’s because you deserve it. Who tells you to keep provoking me?” YuanYang nudged his forehead against GuQingPei’s forehead, “Don’t worry, if you piss me off, I won’t beat you up, I’ll just fuck you. Fucking you is way more enjoyable than beating you.”
GuQingPei scoldingly smiled, “You are really a fucking big hooligan.”
YuanYang forcefully covered his lips.
