Chapter 213: Public Opinion Explodes, The Huang Family in Chaos

~9 min read 1,791 words

Having tasted the sweetness of success, Tang Ying acted with great speed and efficiency.

After settling Chen Che in the detention room, she headed to the hospital to find Shen Qi, gave him her instructions, and then returned to the Law Enforcement Department to keep watch over Chen Che.

On one hand, this was to prevent Fan Hao from causing more trouble; on the other, it was to quietly wait for public opinion to ferment so she could make arrests at the right time.

Although Shen Qi was still seriously injured, he had been treated with Chen Che's Ghost Gate Needle and was a Martial Artist with True Qi to protect his body, so even with a plaster cast, he moved as fast as flying.

Following her instructions, he first used Dark Web channels to upload the video Tang Ying had given him, then found Ma Ziai and obtained evidence of the illicit affair between Huang Zhu and Ma Yishan.

He copied and packaged the photographs and videos of the affair and sent them by letter to the desks of the Ma Family Patriarch, Ma Youxiang, and the Huang Family Patriarch, Huang Shili, respectively.

The level of activity on the internet at night is often several times, or even a hundred times, higher than during the day.

By dawn, after just a few hours of fermentation, the video had spread throughout all of Jinling and was even gradually spreading to other cities, including Beijing.

Beijing.

When the sky was just beginning to brighten, that curvaceous woman wearing a dark blue cheongsam stepped into that antique-style room once again.

"Knock, knock, knock!"

The woman in the cheongsam knocked on the door a few times with force before pushing it open to enter.

Because she knew very well that at this time of day, the owner of the room would not be awake.

Knocking on the door in advance was precisely to wake the sleeping owner of the room.

"Is it about that child again?"

The woman in the cheongsam stood still in the room; inside the thin, gauze-like curtains in front of her, a sexy figure turned over, her curves hazy and evocative.

The lazy, murmuring voice that followed was enough to make anyone who heard it feel a tingle down to their bones.

"Yes, he came into conflict with the Huang Family in Jinling, recorded a video, and ignited public opinion."

The woman in the cheongsam said this with a straight face, though she could not hide her excitement beneath the formal tone of her diplomatic language.

"He really knows how to stir up trouble. But that's fine; those powerful families have existed for too long and have long forgotten their original intentions; they should be taught a lesson."

Inside the curtains, the mature woman turned over again, seemingly preparing to go back to sleep.

The woman in the cheongsam did not ask for further instructions; she already knew what needed to be done, so she slowly retreated and closed the door.

"I am so looking forward to the day I meet you."

The woman in the cheongsam stood under the eaves, looking up at the sky turning the color of a fish's belly, her gaze profound and her beautiful face full of longing.

…………

The internet was flooded with news about the Huang Family Villa.

Yet the parties involved were still unaware.

Huang Feng had his lower legs "amputated" by Chen Che and stayed in the operating room for six or seven hours, not coming out until dawn.

Huang Shengqi had kept watch outside the operating room for six or seven hours and had no mind to pay attention to anything else; furthermore, in his mind, since Chen Che had already been taken to the Law Enforcement Department by Fan Hao, this matter was already over.

Chen Che might already be tortured into a state worse than death by Fan Hao; how could he have imagined that he himself was already facing his own doom!

When Huang Feng came out of the operating room and returned to the ward, Huang Zhu, who had been in the ward for a while, was already awake.

She had come out of the operating room several hours before Huang Feng, had dentures implanted, and her chin was simply bandaged.

"Big... Big Brother... you've kept watch all night... rest... re... rest for a while."

Huang Zhu said, her words slurred.

Huang Shengqi glanced at the time; it was already breakfast time, and he said, "It's morning. Fan Hao should be initiating the trial against Chen Che soon. Lao Dou, contact Fan Hao in a moment and ask him how things are going."

Lao Dou nodded and said, "Sir, don't worry. Since Chen Che has already entered the Law Enforcement Department, it is impossible for him to come out alive. You've been busy all night, you should get some rest."

"That's right, Big Brother."

Huang Zhu held her chin to avoid using too much force and causing the wound to burst open. "That animal Chen Che definitely won't survive! With Xiao Hao there, you can rest easy."

Huang Shengqi smiled slightly, feeling that he had been worrying unnecessarily; Chen Che was absolutely doomed!

"Alright then, I'll sleep for a while."

Huang Shengqi gave an order to Lao Dou, who had been keeping watch in the ward: "Go and buy some breakfast."

Lao Dou nodded and left.

Huang Shengqi lay down on the hospital bed next to Huang Feng, and just as he closed his eyes, his phone rang.

Huang Shengqi took out his phone and saw it was a call from his father, Huang Shili.

"Hello, Dad, the surgeries for Xiao Feng and Huang Zhu are finished—"

"You bastard, what have you done?! How exactly have you been handling things!? Do you want to kill me, to kill the Huang Family?!"

Huang Shengqi had assumed Huang Shili was calling to ask about Huang Feng's injuries, but he never expected that he wouldn't even ask, instead launching into a barrage of scolding.

At this, Huang Shengqi was completely stunned, and his sleepiness vanished.

Because he knew that Huang Shili would not get angry easily unless it was something extremely serious, and for Huang Shili to be this furious, something major must have happened!

Huang Shengqi scrambled to his feet, held the phone respectfully, and asked, "Dad, what's wrong? Did something happen?"

"You still have the nerve to ask me what happened?! Go online and look for yourself! The headlines!"

Huang Shili's roar came through the receiver, and Huang Shengqi felt as if Huang Shili's spit was about to spray onto his face through the phone.

Huang Zhu, who was to the side, also heard Huang Shili's words and immediately opened her phone to check the headlines.

The moment she saw them, her soul nearly left her body; her wrist trembled, and the phone slipped and fell onto the hospital bed.

"Bi... Big Brother..."

Huang Zhu already had her chin bandaged and spoke unclearly; at this moment, her eyes were filled with horror, her whole body was shaking, and she could not speak further.

Huang Shengqi sensed something, and before he even saw the content on the phone, his legs began to go weak.

In extreme panic, he forgot he was holding his own phone and instead picked up Huang Zhu's phone, tapped the screen, and what met his eyes was the video recording of the entire process at the Huang Family Villa from last night.

The caption above the recording consisted of only one line of scarlet text: The Huang Family abuses their power to seek wealth and take lives!

And when the screen was tapped, the angle of the recording was from Chen Che's first-person perspective, which happened to capture him and Huang Zhu and the others, and the things they said were clearly transmitted, even accompanied by subtitles.

"This... this..."

Huang Shengqi's eyes widened, his entire body trembling; he stared at the video, unable to believe or accept it, his heart filled with a chill.

"You can't even handle such a small matter, you useless thing! The Huang Family is going to be ruined in the hands of an unfilial son like you!"

Huang Shili's scolding continued to come through.

Huang Shengqi's breathing grew rapid; the lack of oxygen made his vision begin to darken, and the intense ringing in his ears made him dizzy and lightheaded.

At this moment, he finally understood that Chen Che had anticipated his anticipation; the video recorded the entire process of him goading Chen Che into attacking and confessing to using public power for private gain against the Qibao Association, and most fatally, he had also confessed, under Chen Che's goading, that all of this was his own doing.

In this way, regardless of whether it was Chen Che smashing the door, attacking Huang Feng and Fan Hao, or slapping Huang Zhu, there was now a legitimate reason for all of it; instead, it was he who had abused his power and goaded Chen Che into committing a wrong, making his crime even worse!

Moreover, this matter involved the Justice Department, and with the evidence being conclusive and impossible to refute, even if Huang Shili stepped in to save him, he would have to take a huge risk!

He had originally wanted to ensure Chen Che would be beyond redemption, but in the current situation, the one likely to be beyond redemption was himself, along with Huang Feng and the others!

"Dad, save me! You must save me!"

The intense shock had already rendered Huang Shengqi's brain unable to think; he clutched the phone he was using for the call as if it were his lifeline.

"You useless thing, because of you, I will also become a sinner of the Huang Family!"

Huang Shili's anger had not yet subsided, and he continued to roar: "Listen to me, take Xiaofeng and come home immediately right now. Also, tell your sister, that unfilial child, to hurry back as well. Make sure the Ma Family doesn't find you, especially your sister!"

"Ah? What does this have to do with the Ma Family?"

Huang Shengqi asked subconsciously.

"That idiot sister of yours did a fine job!"

Huang Shili could not help but roar again, "Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and do as I say!"

"Yes, yes, yes, we are heading back right now!"

Huang Shengqi hurriedly agreed.

The call ended, and Huang Shengqi immediately dialed Lao Dou's number, telling him to arrange for people to carry away Huang Feng, who was still in a deep sleep.

"Bang!"

However, before Huang Shengqi's call could even go through, the hospital room door was kicked open.

Ma Yiren, with a dark face, stormed in aggressively.
