Chapter 347: Blame It on Your Wicked Heart
"Very well."
Jiang Xinghai had originally planned to take down a few of the armed special police officers, but upon seeing Shentu Lin arrive, he devised a new plan.
"Divine Doctor Jiang, this way, please!"
Shentu Lin didn’t know what Jiang Xinghai was plotting. He pointed toward the hospital’s administration building. "Divine Doctor Jiang, you must be tired from your long journey. I’ve arranged for two assistants for you. You can relax and have a very pleasant time."
"That doesn’t seem quite right," Jiang Xinghai said, but he followed him anyway.
"Divine Doctor Jiang, your hard work and great contributions deserve the ultimate reward," Shentu Lin said, quickening his pace.
His words were half-truth, half-lie.
Inside the administration building, there were indeed two female assistants waiting on standby.
He not only wanted to completely ruin Jiang Xinghai’s reputation but also intended to place this man, who he believed only cared about money, under house arrest!
The two made small talk as they walked into the administration building and took the elevator straight to the ninth floor.
"Divine Doctor Jiang, please, come in."
Shentu Lin pushed open a door on the ninth floor. Soft music drifted out from inside.
Jiang Xinghai walked in without hesitation.
Shentu Lin followed closely behind and clapped his hands. "Hong, Xiaoli, Divine Doctor Jiang has come from afar. Tonight, you two must use every trick in the book to serve him well."
"Don’t you worry, Fourth Master."
"We’ll be sure to take *very* good care of Divine Doctor Jiang."
Two women in sheer long dresses rose from the sofa with captivating smiles. After setting down their wine glasses, they immediately approached, their faces wreathed in smiles.
"Mr. Shentu, aren’t you joining?" Jiang Xinghai asked, a flash of surprise in his eyes upon seeing the two women.
In terms of both looks and figure, these two women were absolute knockouts!
But upon closer inspection, he noticed traces of high-tech modifications on their bodies. They weren’t naturally this stunning, and he couldn’t help but feel a wave of disappointment.
’Of course, with so many exceptional women in my life already, I have no intention of fooling around with two random women here,’ he thought. ’I’m just playing along with Shentu Lin.’
"I have some other business to attend to. Divine Doctor Jiang, please, feel free." Shentu Lin was preparing to go next door to watch the surveillance feed.
His plan was to capture some compromising photos of Jiang Xinghai and upload them to the internet.
He believed this scandal would be enough to turn the tide of public opinion, which was currently against the Shentu family.
After all, Hong and Xiaoli had been meticulously trained by the Shentu family. They knew every trick in the book, and no man had ever failed to fall for their seduction.
Unexpectedly, the moment he turned to leave, he heard two loud THUDS from behind him.
When he spun back around, he found Hong and Xiaoli lying unconscious on the floor.
And Jiang Xinghai was walking toward him.
"Divine Doctor Jiang, what are you...?"
"Tell me, where is the surveillance monitor for this room?" Jiang Xinghai demanded, his expression grim.
"What...?" Shentu Lin’s eyes widened.
"Do I need to repeat myself?" Jiang Xinghai suddenly shot out a hand and gripped Shentu Lin by the throat.
"You dare..." Shentu Lin only managed to force out two words before his face turned beet red, unable to breathe.
Jiang Xinghai was a Martial Arts master! Even he, a Fifth-Realm Venerable, was completely powerless against him!
Shentu Lin was completely stunned.
Ultimately, under Jiang Xinghai’s overwhelming force, he led him to the adjacent room.
Jiang Xinghai saw a computer, its monitor displaying a live feed of the room they had just left.
"In that case, I’ll just use your identity."
Jiang Xinghai’s fist instantly slammed into Shentu Lin’s face.
Even for a Fifth-Realm Venerable like Shentu Lin, the power of that punch was impossible to withstand.
That single punch was enough to end his life.
In his final moments, he never would have imagined that the intricate trap he had laid would fall apart so pathetically before Jiang Xinghai.
"You have only your own wicked intentions to blame."
Jiang Xinghai began to change, putting on Shentu Lin’s jacket.
Then, he completely destroyed the computer.
WHOOSH!
In the next instant, Jiang Xinghai, now disguised to look exactly like Shentu Lin, vanished from the spot.
「At the hospital entrance.」
Jiang Xinghai strode over coolly and, without a word, disarmed the squad of special police officers guarding the main gate.
The crowd outside saw this and was utterly dumbfounded.
Jiang Xinghai surveyed the crowd. "Everyone," he announced, "I am Shentu Lin. I am deeply sorry for what happened tonight. Your daughters have all received treatment and will be out to see you very soon. Of course, if you wish to come inside, please, be my guest."
The crowd still couldn’t believe it. They were shocked that Shentu Lin was not only so formidably skilled but also so kind-hearted.
In an instant, while the major media outlets were busy taking photos and videos, a large part of the crowd began to surge inside.
After using Shentu Lin’s appearance to neutralize the police presence, Jiang Xinghai quickly vanished into the crowd.
He followed the throng of people into the ward building, soon arriving in front of the jam-packed rooms.
Sun Jiancheng, Shentu Shan, and the others looked on, utterly flabbergasted by the scene unfolding before them.
"Mr. Sun, the time I gave you to think has not yet passed! Why did you let them in?" Shentu Shan demanded, furious.
Sun Jiancheng looked bewildered. "I... I never gave the order!"
"Mr. Sun, Big Brother, I was the one who let them in."
Just then, Jiang Xinghai, still disguised as Shentu Lin, stepped forward.
