"Yes, I ran away, I admit that. This made realize that being a hero is not easy at all."
"I also have to say one thing, this Tuesday, a lawyer nad Lai Huahui, representing Xu Feng, found for compensation. Out of guilt, my parents paid one hundred thousand to settle it."
"As far as I know, Peng Yutang's family also paid one hundred thousand."
Lin Miao snorted, "This guy really did what he said. He made these two pay the price. It's so shaful..."
At this mont, a mobile phone ringtone suddenly echoed in the living room.
Li Haoxiang hurriedly pulled out his phone, saw the caller ID, and laughed, "It's a call from Lai Huahui; it seems they can't sit still anymore."
After saying this, he pressed a few buttons and set the call to speaker mode.
"Lawyer Lai, hello, still not resting this late!" Li Haoxiang asked casually.
A sowhat exasperated voice ca through the phone, "Lawyer Li, you must have been waiting for my call, right? You were already prepared, setting a trap, just waiting for us to fall into it!"
"You are… you are…"
"What are we?"
Li Haoxiang snorted coldly, "You can't tell you don't know anything about the truth."
"If you hadn't done such ungrateful extortion, today's conversation between us would never have happened."
So heavy breathing could be heard on the other end, indicating there was more than one person.
Lai Huahui's voice was calr as it ca back, "Lawyer Li, things have co to this point. How about we each take a step back and settle this?"
"Each take a step back?"
Li Haoxiang mocked, "Aren't you dreaming?"
"My client, a skilled doctor who selflessly saved your client, a noble doctor who rescued so many injured during the earthquake disaster."
"You've maliciously distorted the facts and openly defad and attacked him online, severely damaging his reputation and causing him imnse harm."
Li Haoxiang glanced at Lin Jie, speaking solemnly, "Now, on behalf of my client, I officially notify you and your client that we will file a lawsuit against you for defamation, extortion, etc., and seek compensation for reputation damage and emotional distress."
"Defamation and extortion? Are you joking?" Lai Huahui shouted over the phone.
Li Haoxiang replied earnestly, "I'm not joking. Just based on the misleading facts you've spread online, a lawsuit for defamation against you is certainly viable."
"As for extortion..."
Li Haoxiang taunted, "Should I remind you of our call at eight o'clock?"
"You were adamant about a compensation demand of no less than ten million. If you can't rember, I can replay the recording for you."
"You... you..."
Lai Huahui's voice suddenly turned nacing, threatening, "If you keep pushing like this, you're going to cause a big issue."
"Let tell you, Xu Feng could develop severe depression; if sothing really happens, it won't be good for you either."
Li Haoxiang snorted disdainfully, "Lawyer Lai, let remind you, I also recorded this conversation. I could interpret your words as..."
He hadn't finished speaking when the other side abruptly hung up…
The situation was set, and as it was getting late, Lin Jie and the others went to their rooms to rest…
At nearly six in the morning, Lin Jie, still asleep in An Kexin's embrace, was woken up by Zhang Xiaoxiao.
"A-Jie, Kexin, sothing happened, sothing big, wake up!"
Seeing Zhang Xiaoxiao looking anxious, Lin Jie and An Kexin imdiately got up and followed her to the living room, where they found Li Haoxiang already there.
He turned the laptop screen towards Lin Jie and the others and said gravely, "Expert Lin, Xu Feng is now sitting on the rooftop doing a live video broadcast."
"He said that in a mont of confusion, he did sothing wrong and wants to atone for it with his life."
"It's unclear whether he's doing this to force us to let him go or if he's serious!"
Damn, such a thing happened.
Lin Jie and An Kexin sat on the sofa watching the small live video window.
The image in the window shook significantly, sotis showing Xu Feng's face, sotis the ground ten ters below, with the sound of wind whooshing past occasionally.
"... unexpectedly rescued, and when I woke up, I was very happy."
"But the happiness didn't last long, and I realized that I'd spend the rest of my life in a wheelchair, which made very scared and worried."
In the live broadcast video, Xu Feng's sowhat unclear voice ca through, "Later, I found out the rescue helicopter arrived just after I was amputated, and I thought if they had co a few minutes earlier, would my legs have been saved?"
"That thought was like a demon, turning around in my mind."
"Later it beca, if not amputated, my legs would surely have been saved."
"Swayed by this crazy idea, I no longer felt grateful to Dr. Lin, but instead developed hatred, intense hatred..."
"Last night, your scolding woke up, I truly awakened."
"Please spare my parents, spare my uncle, they're unaware, they were all led astray by . I don't know if my life-saving benefactor is watching this video, please, soone kindly contact him!"
Xu Feng said sincerely, "I just want to personally say thank you, then apologize."
"I'm already a wreck, don't want to live a crippled life, I just want to sincerely say thank you and sorry before I die."
"Please, the kind-hearted watching this live video, help contact Dr. Lin..."
Li Haoxiang noticed Lin Jie's gaze and said softly, "He's been broadcasting for over half an hour now, always asking to speak with you directly in the video."
"This makes feel that he's not really seeking death but wants to use this thod to get you to drop future charges against him..."
Lin Jie looked at the live stream window covered with a barrage of comnts, so persuading him not to seek death, others explicitly cursing, telling him to die quickly and reincarnate.
There were comnts of all kinds.
Lin Jie thought for a mont and said, "If I don't contact him, he just won't jump, right?"
Li Haoxiang paused for a mont, then smiled in realization, "It should be like that. I'll contact the police and fire departnt over at Xu Feng's place to get him down first."
"Hey, wait a minute!"
An Kexin suddenly pointed to a comnt, "Look at this..."
The comnt was a link address with a sentence, "He is pretending to seek death; click on this link."
Lin Jie operated for a bit, entered the link address on another window, and a post appeared.
The first floor of the post was a high-definition photo.
In the photo, soone was sitting on the edge of a rooftop more than ten ters high, holding a phone for the live broadcast.
The second floor was a zood-in photo, clearly showing that the person sitting on the rooftop edge was Xu Feng.
The third floor was a further zood-in photo showing a face mostly exposed behind the solar water heater not far behind Xu Feng.
Lin Jie recognized the face; it was Lai Huahui's face.
Damn, Lin Jie was furious.
This family really spares no effort.
"Hoo... Xiao Feng... ah... bang"
At this mont, a shout and a scream suddenly ca from the computer...
Lin Jie hurriedly switched the page back to the live stream page, only to find the live stream had stopped.
What happened? Did he really jump?
