### Chapter 196: Minor Matters
Upon hearing Wang Wenjuan’s reminder, Xia Hong and the Four Young Masters of Peng City finally realized that chatting here was not appropriate while Xia Yu was still resting. So they gave Xia Yu one last glance before getting up and leaving the hospital room.
Yes, they thought they had stayed long enough. Since Xia Yu wasn’t waking up, what could they do? But surely Xia Yu would remember their kindness, right?
Seeing the outsiders leave, Xia Hong sneakily glanced at the report Wang Wenjuan was holding with Xia Yu’s check-up results in her hand. With no hesitation this time, he snatched it from her.
Wang Wenjuan was taken aback and instinctively tried to take it back, but then she suddenly remembered that this report was half-true, half-fake. So, she let go and decided not to force it.
In any case, Wang Wenjuan didn’t care about her husband and directly walked over to Xia Yu’s bed to check on her unfortunate new daughter.
Seeing Xia Yu wasn’t waking up, Wang Wenjuan couldn’t help but sigh, then turned to Xia Ling and said, “Little Ling, fetch some water and use a cotton swab to moisten Xia Yu’s lips.”
Xia Yu had performed intense exercises before being knocked out and had sweat profusely, so he must be extremely dehydrated.
No denying that Wang Wenjuan was very thoughtful—upon seeing Xia Yu’s dry and cracked lips, she realized that he needed water to recover quickly.
Xia Ling, being obedient, immediately went to fetch water and moisten Xia Yu’s lips.
Meanwhile, Jiang Hanhang and Jiang Kekai finally boarded the plane heading to Peng City. This was the quickest they could travel.
During the flight, Jiang Kekai’s phone rang numerous times—some calls were from business partners, and others were from Jiang Bin and Jiang Heng, but she didn’t care to answer them.
Eventually, annoyed, she shut off her phone, which only made things worse for her.
Jiang Hanhang was just mindlessly tapping on her phone when she suddenly received a message and excitedly pulled her sister. “Sis, Xia Ling says Xia Yu is fine now. Don’t worry, we’ll see him soon enough.”
Yes, Jiang Hanhang had never lost contact with Xia Ling; thus, she got the update on Xia Yu first. “Really? How is he doing now? Can we call him?”
Seeing her sister so excited, Jiang Hanhang was a bit surprised but then shook her head. “He’s still unconscious, but there’s no immediate danger. He might wake up tonight or tomorrow.”
“That’s good news.”
Even though she couldn’t talk to Xia Yu, which disappointed Jiang Kekai a bit, knowing Xia Yu was safe was a big relief. Her heart was finally calming down.
Ironically, even Jiang Kekai herself didn’t know when Xia Yu became so significant to her. It was truly intriguing.
On the other hand, after leaving the hospital, Lin Jie and the Four Young Masters of Peng City didn’t go far. They headed straight to the law enforcement team handling the fight.
Lin Jie knew that if they didn’t handle this, the law enforcement team would probably be pressured by the Huang family from Capital to release the twenty-one detainees.
He had to ensure those guys were safe until Jiang Kekai arrived.
Seeing how much Jiang Kekai cared for Xia Yu, Lin Jie wanted to test how far she—and her family—would go.
Sure enough, as the four young masters arrived at the law enforcement station, an officer seemed hopeful, running to meet them. “You’ve arrived just in time. The Huang family from the Capital is here and our captain is negotiating with them. You need to help us!”
Indeed, those officers at the door had been instructed to bring the Peng City four to their captain’s office once they came. Otherwise, the captain wouldn’t hold out much longer.
Guided by that officer, the four young masters arrived at the captain’s office.
Predictably, the captain’s office now included two men in glasses, elegantly dressed, who clearly were from the Capital.
The four young masters were quite audacious, not even bothering to knock. They barged in and settled onto the couch casually.
Their reputation was mostly confined to Peng City, but the incident had made these two elders research them and their families thoroughly. A single family isn’t scary, but four combined? Even the Capital families would think twice before acting.
So naturally, the two men were giving the Peng City four face, neither blaming them nor demanding accountability. Instead, they started negotiating with Lin Jie. “Young man, don’t be reckless. Let the Huang family handle their own people, and I promise they won’t hold a grudge against your families.”
They were old but stubborn. Initially, they intended to give Lin Jie a chance to speak nicely, yet the old habits took over. Thus, their words had a dismissive undertone.
Of course, Lin Jie had planned his approach ahead of time. Wouldn’t he ignore such talk from the Huang family of the Capital?
“Old man, why don’t you retire. Whatever happens, I’m not backing down. Even if their family leader comes, I won’t cave.”
With a mocking look, Lin Jie continued, “You, you, you—aren’t you worried about dragging your family into trouble? I’ll remember your words, and you’ll regret this later.”
Angered, these two elders left, heads held high towards the door.
Still, Lin Jie did not back down, “If you have the courage, come and find me. I’ll be waiting here.”
Moments later, the two elders disappeared out of sight, likely heading back to report their findings.
At that moment, sensing the moment, the law enforcement captain asked Lin Jie, “Is everything truly in order?”
“Of course. Just wait for the Jiang Family’s eldest granddaughter, Jiang Kekai. If she wants someone, we’ll hand them over and let her handle it. A Huang family isn’t a concern for the Jiang family.”
Jiang Kekai and Jiang Hanhang took the afternoon flight and arrived in Peng City by evening.
As they landed, Jiang Kekai was predictably met by a group from the Jiang family, attempting to urge her return to Demon City. “Move! Otherwise, you’re all fired.”
Even during tense situations, Jiang Kekai was indignant, though the grandpa was authoritative. This was her era, too.
Hearing Jiang Kekai’s fury, even the bodyguards trying to pull her back hesitated, shocked by her sudden anger. They hadn’t seen her this furious before.
Terrified of losing their jobs, they backed off. Jiang Kekai glared fiercely and, without delay, pulled her sister Jiang Hanhang toward the Western Heaven Hospital where Xia Yu was.
Following information from Xia Ling, the two sisters arrived promptly at the VIP ward 404.
Just like before, Xia Yu lay sleeping soundly, akin to a sleeping beauty. Xia Hong, Wang Wenjuan, and Xia Ling watched solemnly beside him.
Faced with the unwelcome arrivals, Xia Hong opened his mouth but decided to remain silent and watch.
Xia Le had explained to his father that those attackers were from the Huang family of the Capital, not Jiang family members.
Xia Le also mentioned that because of Jiang Kekai, the attack took place. Yet Xia Hong didn’t share why the Capital Huang family was after them.
Xia Hong pondered and concluded that someone must have pursued Jiang Kekai, and Xia Le and Xia Yu being close increased their trouble.
Especially Xia Yu, who spent every day close to Jiang Kekai, which could have incited jealousy among her suitors.
Thus, Xia Le suffered light injuries, while Xia Yu faced severe ones like lung contusions.
Now, letting Jiang Kekai and Jiang Hanhang stay was because Xia Hong didn’t expect them to arrive so soon. It wasn’t the right time to explain; they’d have their chance later.
