The Wild Doctor and the Fair Beauty

"That idiot!"

Shentu Shan screamed inwardly.

His rage flared anew after hearing Shentu Lin's explanation.

But with the crowd swelling, he couldn't possibly lose his temper in public. He could only curse Shentu Lin in his mind.

"Patriarch Shentu, since that's the case, there's nothing I can do," Mr. Sun said, shaking his head with a helpless expression.

He then walked toward the crowd, smiled amicably, and said, "Everyone, I am Sun Jiancheng, the chief official of Central State. Regarding the allergic poisoning incident, the relevant departments have reached a final decision. Please, be patient, and I will explain it to you. How does that sound?"

"So you're Mr. Sun!"

"Hmph! So now you show up to explain things. Where were you before?!"

"I bet he's in bed with the Shentu family!"

"That's right. He was nowhere to be seen, but now that we've forced our way in, he has to show his face!"

"Mr. Sun, there's no way we'll believe you! If you have any conscience at all, let us see our daughters now!"

"What are you all standing around for? Hurry up and search!"

The crowd shouted over one another, with no consensus in sight.

Jiang Xinghai frowned slightly.

'At this rate,' he thought, 'it wouldn't be surprising if Mr. Sun slapped them all with charges for unlawful assembly and disturbing the peace!'

"Everyone, listen to me! I'm the one who escaped! My name is Cao Yan!"

Just then, the female model who had earlier faked foaming at the mouth—the one Shentu Di had taken to an infirmary, only for her to escape—suddenly stepped out from the crowd.

She was indeed a practitioner of Martial Arts, but her strength was merely that of a Ninth-Order Martial Artist.

But that was more than enough for her to stand out in a regular crowd.

"Listen to me, everyone! My friends aren't in the infirmary building. They're in the bathhouse behind it!" Cao Yan shouted, pointing.

The bathhouse?

"Hurry, hurry!"

"My daughter!"

"Half of us stay here and watch the Shentu family! The other half, go to the bathhouse!" Cao Yan shouted again.

In their panic, the crowd agreed this made sense. Half of them quickly stayed behind, still keeping the Shentu family and their people tightly encircled.

Shentu Shan's face turned completely black.

However, Sun Jiancheng still stood to the side, saying nothing. He, too, was at a loss for what to do now.

"Shentu Lin, you've done a fine job."

Sun Jiancheng had to clear his name. He offered Shentu Lin a piece of meaningful praise, then strode away. "Rest assured, everyone! I know you have misgivings about me, Sun Jiancheng, but I promise I will give you all a proper resolution for what happened tonight!"

Jiang Xinghai watched Sun Jiancheng's retreating back and gave a cold smirk. Just as he was about to follow, he sensed a wave of killing intent from Shentu Shan behind him.

"Fourth! Get over here!" As a Fifth-Grade Great Venerable, Shentu Shan wished he could just slap Shentu Lin to death on the spot.

But to Shentu Shan's surprise, Shentu Lin completely ignored him and walked away with the crowd.

Of course, this "Shentu Lin" was none other than Jiang Xinghai in disguise.

Why would he obey Shentu Shan's orders?

By now, most of the crowd had rushed to the doors of the bathhouse.

The Shentu family guards stationed there were stunned by the scene unfolding before them.

Men and women alike, every one of them looked murderous, their phones still live-streaming. The guards had no will to confront them and simply scurried away.

CRASH!

The bathhouse door was smashed open.

Inside the changing room, two hundred people lay scattered about, most of them only in their undergarments.

Nearby, several medical personnel were closely monitoring each person's condition. They were startled when the crowd swarmed in.

"Stop the live-streams! Turn them off!"

Cao Yan, who was at the very front, reminded everyone to turn off their phones' recording functions. After all, with so many of her friends nearly naked, they should at least be afforded some privacy.

"Sob... That's my little girl!"

"Xiaowen, wake up! Wake up, Xiaowen!"

"My daughter, what's happened to you...?"

"..."

More and more family members found their daughters, and all of them were reduced to tears.

Jiang Xinghai was also in the crowd, his phone still recording the scene, though he was careful to avoid invading anyone's privacy.

He needed this as evidence to ensure the Shentu family's complete downfall.

"Outrageous! This is simply outrageous!"

Mr. Sun burst in, leading a unit of special police, his face a mask of rage. "Those bastards from the Shentu family... This is an outrage! An absolute outrage!"

"Mr. Sun, I've already recorded the evidence and uploaded it online. If you truly intend to act on the people's behalf, then it's time to step up and deliver justice."

Jiang Xinghai, in his disguise as Shentu Lin, shot Sun Jiancheng a hard glare.

"Of course, of course. 'An official who doesn't serve the people might as well go home and sell sweet potatoes.'"

Sun Jiancheng thumped his chest and promised, "I guarantee this matter will be resolved quickly and to every family's satisfaction."

Although he didn't know why Shentu Lin had suddenly turned on his own family, he understood it was a simple act of self-preservation.

「Ten minutes later.」

The Shentu family's scandal exploded across the internet.

At the same time, Sun Jiancheng, the chief official of Central State, announced that he would be releasing a ruling and compensation plan to the entire network in five minutes.
