Chen Xiao had just finished the last needle of the Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams Evergreen Needle acupuncture on Su Shan. With a kind gesture, he pulled the thin blanket over Su Shan and got straight to the point:
"Li Xin, you posted those online, didn't you?"
Feeling Chen Xiao's sharp gaze, Li Xin instinctively retracted his feet and hid among the bodyguards. Then, he straightened his back and said with impunity,
"So what if I did? With that exposé, not only you, but even the great richest man, the Song family, will be completely finished! This is the consequence of offending me!"
Qiao Jingjing's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly said to Su Shan,
"Mom, I've seen the exposé online. That scoundrel named Chen not only knocked you out but is also colluding with terrorists illegally possessing firearms. He's definitely going to jail for a long time..."
"Shut up!"
Su Shan interrupted Qiao Jingjing without hesitation and then coldly ordered Li Xin,
"I was not knocked out by Doctor Chen. Immediately take down the posts online, or don't blame me for being impolite!"
As Ye Jinhuan's first assistant, Su Shan had the absolute confidence to order Li Xin.
Li Xin, who usually obeyed Su Shan's every word and fawned over him, chuckled and unhesitatingly shook his head.
"Ms. Su, the truth doesn't matter anymore. Because the exposé online has already dominated the major trending lists. Chen Xiao and Song Yan illegally possessing firearms is common knowledge! Instead of telling the public the truth, why don't we hand Chen Xiao over to the police!"
Saying this, he signaled to the bodyguards.
The bodyguards understood and rushed to surround Chen Xiao.
Chen Xiao remained calm, smiling faintly, and said,
"Li Xin, when was the last time you were online? The fake exposé has long been deleted, and any internet-connected device attempting to search for related content will be locked and have its memory deleted by hacker technology. What major trending lists are you talking about? Did your village just get internet?"
After anonymously posting in a black internet cafe, Li Xin gradually realized that an opportunity for fortune was within reach. He quickly sought help from the Ye family to completely bring down the richest man, the Song family.
During this time, he was busy making various preparations and had no time to go online to check the posts. The news about the posts hitting the major trending lists was told to him by Li Bingxue.
Reminded by Chen Xiao, he suddenly realized that Li Bingxue, who had been in constant contact, hadn't contacted him for almost half an hour. Moreover, there was no news from the Ye family.
The more he thought about it, the more panicked he became. He quickly took out his phone from his pocket and was horrified to find that his phone screen was black. The only two blinking lights on the screen were the recording icon and the location icon. No matter how hard he pressed the power button, it was useless. Sweat began to break out on his forehead.
At the same time, Su Shan and Qiao Jingjing, who were trying to search for information related to the post, were shocked to find their phones suddenly go black.
"This... what's going on? Did Song Yan hire hackers to cause trouble?"
Li Xin's fear grew with every thought, his voice trembling. He quickly urged the bodyguards to take out their phones and continue testing his theory.
The bodyguards were sent by the Ye family, which was a great reassurance to him.
However, without exception, all the bodyguards present found their phones went black as soon as they tried to search for content related to the post online.
Li Xin was both terrified and furious, baring his teeth and roaring,
"Chen Xiao, don't think you can cover the sky with one hand just because Song Yan has hackers backing her! Your illegal possession of firearms is a stone-cold fact. As long as I hand you over to the police, you'll be finished for life!"
Chen Xiao was both amused and exasperated.
"Are you an idiot? At this point, you still naively think Song Yan has that much power?"
Li Xin's forehead was covered in cold sweat, his expression filled with undisguised panic.
"You... what do you mean? Could it be... that tall woman with the tanned skin is legally allowed to carry a gun?"
Who could legally carry a gun?
Thinking of this question, which required no brainpower to answer, the bodyguards didn't hesitate and scrambled to escape.
Li Xin's whole world collapsed. His body went limp, and he fell to the ground. Then, like a dog, he crawled on all fours to Chen Xiao's feet, crying and begging,
"Chen... Chen Xiao, I... I know I was wrong. For Bingxue's sake, please put in a good word for me..."
Just then, more than a dozen "doctors" in white coats, their faces covered by masks, stormed into the ward like lightning. Their steps were uniform, their movements swift, like gods descending from heaven.
The leading doctor was slender and delicate, but her height was nearly two meters. Camouflage was faintly visible under her white coat, and a hideous scar could be vaguely seen on her left eye.
Chen Xiao understood, glancing at Su Shan and Qiao Jingjing intentionally or unintentionally. Then, pointing at the bewildered Li Xin, he said,
"My brothers and sisters from the psychiatry department, you've arrived just in time. Hurry up and take this guy named Li Xin for treatment. I strongly suspect he's mentally unstable."
