The moment An Qing finished speaking, He Su's handsome face instantly darkened. He suddenly stepped forward, causing the woman to retreat repeatedly.
"What do you think you're doing?"
He Su said in a low voice, "If you don't want that mouth of yours, I don't mind performing a little surgery on it."
He had a peculiar temper, but he wasn't the type to lay hands on a woman. Besides, the moment he stepped forward, the two bodyguards immediately blocked his way.
He Su hadn't exercised in a long time. Being a doctor for so long truly felt stifling to his nature.
So, he turned and walked to the door. An Qing thought he was scared and about to abandon An Ruo and flee, smirking smugly.
But the man gently closed the door, and when he turned back around, the smile on his face was gone, replaced by a sinister glare fixed on the three of them.
An Ruo helped An Che sit on the bed, staring blankly at them.
He Su's face turned cold. Suddenly, with lightning speed, he grabbed one of the bodyguards by the hair and yanked him down. As the man was forced to bend over, He Su swiftly raised his knee and slammed it hard into his chest.
When this happened, An Ruo didn't even have time to react.
The bodyguard clutched his chest in pain, feeling as if his internal organs had been shaken.
"Still cursing?"
An Qing was frozen in shock.
The other bodyguard, seeing his comrade attacked, snapped out of it and immediately grabbed a chair to swing at He Su.
An Ruo instinctively shouted, "Watch out!"
But as soon as she said it, she realized her worry was unnecessary.
Because He Su moved nimbly, dodging with ease. In just over ten minutes, he had both of An Qing's bodyguards pinned under his feet, even grinding them down maliciously.
"Need me to sew your mouth shut?"
"An Ruo, you bitch, just wait for me!" An Qing spat out her threat before fleeing in disgrace with her two battered bodyguards.
An Ruo was speechless. She couldn't control her own mouth, cursed someone else, and got beaten—how was that An Ruo's fault?
Still, she never expected that a doctor dressed in a way that gave off an unreliable vibe could actually fight so well, despite his flashy appearance.
Once they were all gone, He Su looked at An Ruo and smiled elegantly. "Miss An, I'll have someone move Young Master An to another room shortly. I apologize for what happened today. Our hospital's security was lacking, and I promise people like that won't get in again."
He had come just in time to help. An Ruo was too grateful to blame him.
"Thank you, Dr. He, for your help." There were so many words of gratitude she didn't know how to express, but she was deeply thankful for this man's intervention.
"It's nothing, not worth mentioning."
"Just now..." An Ruo bit her lip. "What my sister said, don't take it to heart."
He Su chuckled lightly. "If she says that again next time, I'll be pursuing legal action."
If it weren't for An Ruo's sake, he would have really wanted to teach that arrogant woman a lesson today.

Han Chong returned after finishing his phone call, the sound of his leather shoes clicking against the floor echoing sharply in the empty room.
The underground gym was filled with various equipment. A man, wearing boxing gloves, was punching a heavy bag. He was shirtless, the dim light accentuating his defined muscles, his powerful chest trembling with each swing of his arms.
Sweat dripped from his chiseled jawline down to his sexy Adam's apple...
Every punch was thrown with full force, as if venting emotions.
Han Chong approached to remind him, "Young Master..."
The man breathed heavily, his body burning hot after the workout, strands of hair plastered to his forehead with sweat, looking incredibly alluring.
"Dr. He said Miss An came to the hospital to cause trouble for the young mistress and brought people to hit her."
The man pulled off his gloves and tossed them to him. Dressed only in workout shorts, he was drenched in sweat despite the freezing winter, his body and mind both satisfied.
Han Chong handed him a towel. The man wiped the sweat from his body as he walked to the sofa area and sat down. This was the basement of the seaside villa, a hideout he had built for himself.
His secret base.
"She didn't fight back?" Shen Xiaoxing's voice was slightly hoarse. Didn't that woman know how to defend herself?
"She did..." Han Chong reported truthfully. "But Miss An hit her even harder."
The man's eyes turned cold. "He Su didn't step in?"
"Dr. He beat up the two bodyguards and chased them off, but..."
Han Chong braced himself and said softly, "But Miss An insulted the young mistress, saying she was having an affair with Dr. He, and also said..."
"That she cuckolded me?"
The young master really could predict everything...
Shen Xiaoxing narrowed his cold eyes. "The way those disgusting mother and daughter from the An family operate really impresses me."
The An family bullied her, deceived her, pushed her to the brink, and now they come to cause trouble, failing to slander her while dragging him into it.
How amusing.
"Tell He Su, if anyone from the An family shows up again, especially that An Qing, make sure to hit hard. If someone dies, I'll take the blame."
"Yes."
Han Chong was about to leave when the man stopped him.
"Is Lan Zhen currently cooperating with the An Corporation?"
"Yes," Han Chong said. "The An Corporation is also involved in the land deal north of the city."
The man's dark eyes deepened. "Since that girl was willing to risk her life to save me, as a token of thanks, I'll give her a big gift."
"You know what to do."
Han Chong understood the ruthlessness in his eyes and nodded in agreement. "Yes."
