Supreme Heir Son-in-law

Chapter 286: Chapter 286: Irreconcilable Differences

Housekeeper Zhao, seeing the situation, didn’t say much. He set the pocket watch aside and joined Xu Ke in trying to hold down Sheng Wenhao, attempting to prevent him from further injuring himself. But the two of them misjudged Wenhao’s strength.

Wenhao appeared lean, but his strength was astonishingly great. Xu Ke, while holding his hand, nearly lost his grip as Wenhao, like a wild beast bereft of reason, opened his mouth to bite the arm that Xu Ke used to restrain him.

Not only did Wenhao struggle fiercely with his upper body, but his lower body was equally challenging. Twice, he almost toppled Housekeeper Zhao. The housekeeper’s meticulously groomed hair was slightly disheveled. "Family Head, I’m almost losing control here," Housekeeper Zhao said, pinning down Wenhao’s kicking feet with all his upper body strength.

"Take his belt off and tie up his legs first," Xu Ke said, using his knee and one hand to restrain Sheng Wenhao’s thrashing upper body. Taking advantage of a brief respite, Xu Ke deftly removed Wenhao’s belt with a flick of his wrist and tossed it to Housekeeper Zhao.

By the time Housekeeper Zhao had tied up Wenhao’s legs and helped Xu Ke completely subdue Wenhao’s upper body, more than half an hour had passed. Xu Ke’s back was soaked with sweat, and his arms felt fatigued.

As Xu Ke and Housekeeper Zhao worked together to move Wenhao onto the bed, the private doctor arrived.

"How is he? Is he badly hurt?" Xu Ke watched the private doctor use tweezers to extract shards of glass embedded in Wenhao’s flesh. With every piece removed, Wenhao’s body shuddered reflexively, the muscles in his shoulders tensing involuntarily.
