"Ha ha ha ha—"
He had always relied on his family's power and influence to bully others, never imagining that he would one day be the one crushed.
Jiang Shuqin said, "Li'er, don't be too pessimistic. Once we find out who it is, we can use the media to blow this up. By then, no one will be able to shield Lin Xuan."
Lin Li remained silent.
The next day.
The police called.
Jiang Shuqin asked nervously, "Officer, any updates? Have you found any leads?"
The officer replied, "After an overnight investigation, our team has identified the six individuals involved."
"Have you arrested them yet?" Jiang Shuqin said excitedly.
The officer shook his head. "No."
Jiang Shuqin grew agitated. "Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up and arrest them! Force them to reveal who the mastermind is!"
The officer shook his head again. "I’m sorry, but they’re all orphans with no relatives. After the incident, they left Xia Country. We have no idea where they went."
"Aside from those six, we have no other leads. It seems this case will likely end without resolution."
The officer sighed and hung up.
Jiang Shuqin had put the call on speaker, so Lin Li heard every word clearly.
"Just as I thought—they’ve wiped all the evidence clean," Lin Li sneered.
"Li'er, we’ll find another way. Don’t lose hope," Jiang Shuqin said, though her tone lacked conviction.
If even the police couldn’t uncover anything, what could she possibly do?
Lin Li said nothing, only clenching his fists.
All he wanted now was to know—who had done this to him?
Who had ruined him so thoroughly?
His eyes darkened.
There weren’t many people with this kind of power.
And whoever orchestrated this clearly did it to avenge Lin Xuan.
Was it Lin Xuan? The Jiang family? Or…
Suddenly, Su Hua’s figure flashed through Lin Li’s mind.
He shook his head.
It couldn’t be Su Hua.
She only saw Lin Xuan as a plaything—she wouldn’t go to such lengths to plan something like this.
Besides, someone like Su Hua wouldn’t do such a thing.
Who was it, then?
Lin Li gritted his teeth.
Once he regained his strength, he wouldn’t just take down Lin Xuan—he’d destroy the Jiang family too.
---
Night Garden.
Lin Xuan slept until ten the next morning.
When he woke up, the petite woman beside him was already gone.
Lin Xuan exhaled slowly.
He’d thought Hua Bao would rest and behave, but she had countless ways to drive him wild.
Just using the tools at her disposal, she’d taken him for a ride until he was completely drained.
"Ah."
What do you do when your girlfriend’s desires are too intense?
Lin Xuan splashed cold water on his face to clear his head.
His mind kept replaying last night’s scenes.
He coughed lightly.
Hua Bao’s techniques… were far too numerous.
After brushing his teeth and washing up, Lin Xuan stumbled downstairs for breakfast, his steps unsteady.
As he ate, Butler Wang hurried over.
"Young Master," Butler Wang said eagerly, "have you seen the news online?"
"No," Lin Xuan shook his head.
After last night’s ordeal with Hua Bao, he’d slept in and hadn’t even checked his phone.
"Lin Li’s in trouble," Butler Wang said excitedly.
Who didn’t love gossip?
Especially when it involved someone they disliked.
Hearing this, Lin Xuan perked up immediately.
"What happened?" he asked curiously.
Butler Wang replied, "Last night at midnight, Lin Li was taken from the hospital."
Lin Xuan stroked his chin. "Lin Li had anal tearing and bleeding—he couldn’t have recovered that quickly. He couldn’t have been discharged, right?"
Combined with Butler Wang’s earlier remark about Lin Li being in trouble, Lin Xuan sensed something unusual.
"Butler Wang, who took Lin Li away?" he asked.
"I’m not sure," Butler Wang shook his head. "The police haven’t figured it out yet."
"Butler Wang, what happened next?" Lin Xuan was brimming with curiosity.
Butler Wang said, "Lin Li was likely taken to some remote wilderness. The perpetrators even prepared six filthy beggars for him."
Lin Xuan: "Lin Li and those beggars…"
He mimicked a crude gesture with his fingers.
"Exactly," Butler Wang nodded. "The story of Lin Li and the six beggars has already spread all over the internet."
When he’d woken up and left his room that morning, the servants had immediately told him about Lin Li.
All morning, he’d been too distracted to work—he felt like a melon-eating rodent, scurrying around to devour every juicy detail.
"Tsk, never expected something like this," Lin Xuan remarked, nodding in approval.
If Lin Li didn’t commit suicide after this, his mental resilience was truly impressive.
Lin Xuan abandoned his breakfast and opened Weibo to browse the comments, thoroughly entertained.
Butler Wang asked, "Young Master Lin, would you like the original video? I have it."
Lin Xuan recalled the terrifying aura Su Hua had emitted last time he watched Lin Li’s video.
"No thanks," he shook his head.
He was afraid Hua Bao might suddenly appear again while he was watching.
The consequences of Hua Bao’s jealousy were severe.
After last night’s exhaustive "draining," he couldn’t handle another round today.
"Alright then," Butler Wang said regretfully. "That video was especially… thrilling."
Hearing this, Lin Xuan grew intrigued. "Butler Wang, it sounds like you watched the whole thing."
"Yes, I did," Butler Wang admitted, his face slightly flushed. He quickly added, "I just wanted the full story, so I watched it."
"So, Butler Wang, what exactly happened in the video?" Lin Xuan asked eagerly.
Butler Wang replied, "In the video, Lin Li seemed to be… enjoying himself. It looked quite ecstatic, and the whole thing was extremely intense…"
He vividly described the events between Lin Li and the beggars to Lin Xuan.
Lin Xuan stroked his chin and sighed. "I wonder which brave soul delivered this divine retribution."
Six beggars.
Tsk.
Whoever did this was even more ruthless than him.
Not bad.
They were cut from the same cloth.
Butler Wang glanced at Lin Xuan. Who else but their young lady had the power and motive to orchestrate this against Lin Li?
This was clearly her way of avenging Young Master Lin.
"Young Master Lin, I suspect the person behind this was seeking justice for you," Butler Wang hinted delicately.
"Justice for me?" Lin Xuan frowned. "Who else could pull off something like this without a trace? The Jiang family? They’re a political-business dynasty—law-abiding citizens. They’d never do anything illegal."
"As for Hua Bao, she’s even less likely. She’s not that kind of person."
