Hard to Speak Out

Almost no one in Great Xia dislikes juicy gossip.

The incident involving Lin Li exploded across major platforms like Huyin, Weibo, Bilibili, and Zhihu.

Many people privately forwarded the details as well.

Though high-definition, uncensored videos of Lin Li with Older Chen and Second Chen couldn’t circulate openly on public platforms, they spread like wildfire through private channels.

Photos of Lin Li being carried to the hospital also leaked.

Eager for the latest scoop, netizens channeled their inner Sherlock Holmes.

[Lin Li always seemed pretty healthy—I doubt he collapsed from illness. My guess? Either he overexerted himself doing those things, or something went wrong back there…]

[I have a relative working at Imperial Capital First Central Hospital. I need to ask them for details.]

Lin Li was rushed into the emergency room.

His family was notified, and Jiang Shuqin arrived at the hospital in a panic.

Jiang Shuqin grabbed a nurse who had just stepped out of the operating room, her voice trembling. "How is my son? Is he in any danger?"

The nurse, fresh out of school and still innocent in matters of romance, hesitated before answering. "Um… Madam, you don’t need to worry about his life. As for the rest… I think it’s better if you wait for the doctor."

She couldn’t bring herself to say it outright.

"Madam, I have other duties to attend to. Excuse me."

The nurse hurried away, leaving Jiang Shuqin pacing anxiously outside the ER.

Soon, Lin Li’s three sisters and Lin Chang also arrived.

"Mom, how’s Xiao Li doing?" Lin Qingwan asked, her face etched with worry.

Jiang Shuqin replied, "The nurse said he’s not in critical condition, but she didn’t elaborate."

Yet the nurse’s expression had unsettled her deeply.

The Lin family stood outside the ward, their faces tense with concern.

Meanwhile…

Lin Xuan had escorted Wang Dahe back to his apartment, only to find that Wang Dahe had forgotten his keys. Knocking yielded no response, and Wang Dahe’s phone had died.

Wang Dahe, currently drunk out of his mind, couldn’t even tell Lin Xuan his lock screen password.

Lin Xuan exhaled sharply. "Guess I’ll have to take him to Night Garden for now."

"Boss!"

Cheng Da and Cheng Er, having gotten their fill of gossip, finally showed up at Wang Dahe’s place.

"Boss," they greeted respectfully.

Lin Xuan shot them a look. "Finished with the drama?"

"Yep," the two nodded.

Lin Xuan raised an eyebrow. "So? Was it juicy?"

Cheng Da grimaced. "Juicy, sure—but also disgusting."

He regretted staying to watch.

"You were smart, Boss. Skipping the live show and catching up online instead," Cheng Da added.

Lin Xuan smirked. "Tell me what happened in Lin Li’s room after I left."

"Let me!" Cheng Er eagerly launched into a vivid retelling.

"Boss, right after you left, the reporters barged in. We were right behind them, so we saw everything."

"Boss, you wouldn’t believe how wild it was—Lin Li was sprawled on the floor, while Older Chen and Second Chen were just…"

Cheng Er spared no detail.

Lin Xuan’s jaw dropped.

This was way more explosive than he’d imagined.

But halfway through, Lin Xuan couldn’t take it anymore.

"Stop, stop, stop—Cheng Er, that’s enough."

Cheng Er frowned. "Boss, did I say something wrong?"

"Not wrong," Lin Xuan shook his head. "Just… way too graphic. Seriously."

Any more, and he’d feel tainted for life.

"Oh," Cheng Er scratched his head. "Well, the reporters filmed everything. Once the videos leak, I’ll send you the best one."

"Don’t bother," Lin Xuan cut in.

He’d rather not risk getting an eye infection.

"Hua would kill me if she caught me watching that."

"Right, right," Cheng Er chuckled sheepishly. "I’ll keep it to myself then."

Lin Xuan sighed. "Just help me get Wang Dahe to Night Garden."

"Yes, Boss!"

Cheng Er hoisted Wang Dahe over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes.

Lin Xuan’s eye twitched.

Brutally efficient, I guess.

Back at the hospital, Lin Li’s injuries weren’t severe.

The doctor soon emerged from the ER.

Jiang Shuqin rushed forward.

"Doctor!" She clutched his arm. "How is my son?"

Her precious boy had to be okay.

"Well…" The doctor hesitated, giving the Lin family an odd look.

Their hearts collectively lurched.

"Doctor, just tell us!"

All five members of the Lin family crowded around him.

The doctor removed his mask with a sigh. "The patient is stable."

Lin Qingwan frowned. "Then why do you look so grave?"

The doctor cleared his throat. "He’s fine, but… he suffered anal fissures with bleeding and passed out from overstimulation."

Lin Qingyan blinked. "Anal fissures? What kind of illness is that? Xiao Li’s always been healthy!"

Jiang Shuqin added frantically, "Doctor, name the price—we’ll pay whatever it takes to cure him!"

Only Lin Qingxiu, with her medical knowledge, paled as realization dawned.

Anal fissures… overstimulation…

That could only mean…

Her frown deepened.

No way. Xiao Li wouldn’t…

The doctor rubbed his temples. "These are symptoms of… ahem… overly vigorous male-to-male intercourse. He was the receiving party."

The Lin family froze.

"Doctor," Jiang Shuqin sputtered, "there must be a mistake! My son likes women—he’s dated plenty of girls! Why would he… with a man?!"

The doctor shrugged. "After becoming a eunuch, his urges had to go somewhere. This isn’t unheard of."

Silence.

"Also," the doctor added, "his body shows clear signs of recent… intimate activity."

"You can ask him yourselves when he wakes up."
