Chapter 5 Walking on Eggshells

The man in the black trench coat immediately stepped forward, acknowledging, "Yes."

Chen Jiao, having been apprehended, could no longer control her fear and lost bladder control. She wailed loudly, "Please spare me, please spare me! This idea was all Zhao Minghan's, not mine. If you want to cut, cut him. I, I am innocent."

Zhao Minghan never expected Chen Jiao to speak of him in such a manner. "You crazy woman, I did all this for you. And you treat me like this..."

Chen Jiao had never seen Zhao Minghan so pathetic. She had only ever viewed him as a money-making tree. "You were the one who kidnapped them, you found the hospital, and you decided to exchange two kidneys. If you're a man, bear the consequences yourself."

"You."

Enraged, Zhao Minghan glared at the woman beside him and reached out, tightly gripping her neck.

Chen Jiao, already in poor health, struggled for a moment before being forcefully choked to death, her appearance horrifying.

Zhao Minghan finally regained his senses, looking at the woman he had just strangled, a strange expression on his face.

The middle-aged doctor who had performed the surgery was terrified. He knelt on the ground, trembling, "We, we, we were wrong. We confess, we confess. Please, send me to prison. We are willing to accept legal punishment!"

Falling into this woman's hands was far more terrifying than prison!

Bai Xi said calmly, "Take these doctors to the police station. Illegal organ trafficking, illegal surgery, attempted murder..."

Her subordinate nodded and led them away.

Bai Xi flicked the used lollipop stick into the trash can, adjusted her small skirt, and stated, "Now, it's just you."

Zhao Minghan finally felt fear. "I warn you, besides the Zhao family, I have the Dark Department behind me. My father is a mid-level commander in the Dark Department, the highest military base in Xilan Kingdom."

Upon hearing this, Bai Xi's beautiful brows furrowed slightly.

A mid-level commander surnamed Zhao? There were too many, and she couldn't quite recall.

Seeing her hesitation, Zhao Minghan assumed she was afraid. A sinister glint appeared on his face, tinged with pride. "Well, you'd better let me go now. Perhaps in the future, I might grant you a complete corpse."

Bai Xi walked step by step towards him, her smile sweet and beautiful enough to make one dizzy, but her voice was chilling. "Since you have some connection to a mid-level commander of the Dark Department, I will give him some face."

Zhao Minghan's bleeding lips curved into a sinister smile. "Heh."

She finally knew who she was messing with, did she still dare to lay a hand on him?

Bai Xi turned away abruptly, raising her hand slightly. "Break his arm and one leg, then throw him out."

Before Zhao Minghan could even react to her words, her subordinates stepped forward and ruthlessly broke both of his legs. The actions were so swift that no one had time to process what was happening.

Zhao Minghan screamed, collapsing onto the ground, his face contorted in pain. "You, you, you dare..."

Bai Xi, with her back to him, said dismissively, "If you want to live, if you want your Zhao Group to remain..."

Bai Xi nodded. "Thank you."

She pushed the hospital bed and walked away, brushing past the man.

After Bai Xi left, two men in fitted attire stepped forward, their postures respectful. "King, by the time we arrived, the situation had already been resolved."

Han Mo looked up, his previously gentle eyes now sharp and cold. With a mere glance, he exuded an air of condescension over all beings. "En. Starting today, everyone withdraws from Hua Guo."

The two men were greatly alarmed. "King?"

Withdraw entirely?

The two men exchanged glances. After a moment of hesitation, they asked, "King, are you sure you want to remain here? With your status..."

Their master was too noble to be involved in such matters!

Han Mo lowered his head, reaching up to adjust his metal-rimmed glasses. The lenses reflected a glint of light that sent a chill down one's spine. "Do I need your permission for what I do?"

The two men immediately startled, kneeling on the ground with pale faces. "We dare not."

Han Mo wiped the surgical knife clean, put it away, and said indifferently, "Withdraw."

The two men immediately retreated, vanishing without a trace.

Han Mo looked in the direction Bai Xi had departed, his eyes holding an indescribable tenderness, deep and lingering.
