After they had eaten and drunk their fill, everyone returned to the hospital. On the way, Chen Xiao received a phone call.
It was from Director Hao, saying that someone was looking for him.
Chen Xiao wondered who would come to the hospital to find him without calling him first.
When they arrived at the hospital, they found Tong Jinjian standing at the main entrance with a grim expression.
He had come alone; Luo Xi was not with him.
As soon as Chu Luo saw Tong Jinjian, he glared and asked, "What are you doing here?"
He harbored a lot of hostility towards the big man.
Tong Jinjian merely glanced at him and said coldly, "Get out of the way, brat. This has nothing to do with you!"
Then, he turned his gaze to Chen Xiao and said, "Chen Xiao, you're coming with me!"
Wu Feier immediately became nervous and asked in a low voice, "Chen Xiao, who is this person?"
The three deputy directors and a group of interns also looked confused. They could all tell that this big man was not here with good intentions.
"It's nothing. I'll go talk to him."
Chen Xiao comforted Wu Feier, walked forward, and asked disdainfully, "On what grounds are you asking me to go with you?"
"Don't you know what you've done?"
Tong Jinjian said impolitely, directly taking out handcuffs. "Stop the nonsense, put these on yourself, and come with me quickly!"
Seeing that he had taken out handcuffs, Wu Feier's face immediately turned pale. She frowned and asked, "Why are you handcuffing Chen Xiao? What crime has he committed?"
"Mind your own business. If you dare to make trouble again, you'll be obstructing official duties. Be careful, I'll take you away too!"
Tong Jinjian said rudely.
"You..."
Wu Feier's brows furrowed. "How can you be so unreasonable?"
"I'm unreasonable?"
Tong Jinjian snorted coldly, his expression becoming even grimmer, clearly angered.
Seeing this, Chen Xiao's gaze turned cold. He blocked Tong Jinjian and said coldly, "If you have something to say, say it to me. I warn you to be polite to my friend!"
Tong Jinjian, swept by Chen Xiao's icy gaze, involuntarily took a step back and dared not speak.
Chen Xiao turned to comfort Wu Feier, "I'll go with him. You all continue with what you were doing. Don't worry, I'll be fine."
Then, Chen Xiao voluntarily put on the handcuffs and glanced at Tong Jinjian, "Let's go!"
In broad daylight, Tong Jinjian escorted Chen Xiao away as if he were a prisoner.
This scene instantly caused a huge stir throughout Jiangcheng Hospital.
Chen Xiao was being taken away by law enforcement, which meant he must have committed a crime.
Some were surprised, some were shocked, and some expressed regret.
The three senior members of the Traditional Chinese Medicine department couldn't help but sigh. Was the TCM department, which had just started to show signs of improvement, about to be shut down?
Panic spread, especially among the interns. After all, they had all been recruited by Director Chen. Now that Director Chen was being taken away by law enforcement, would there still be a place for them in the TCM department?
Meanwhile, Chen Xiao got into an Audi A6 with Tong Jinjian and drove out of the gate of Jiangcheng Hospital.
Tong Jinjian drove in silence, still feeling aggrieved and upset about his earlier cowardice.
It shouldn't have happened. He was the law enforcer, and Chen Xiao was the culprit. How could he have been intimidated by him!
In fact, if he had wanted to retaliate against Chen Xiao, this would have been the best opportunity. However, he lacked the courage to do so...
However, Chen Xiao soon realized something was amiss.
He frowned and asked coldly, "Where are you taking me? This isn't the way to the Poxie Division!"
"Captain Lin asked me to take you to the Maple Leaf Hotel. He's waiting for you there," Tong Jinjian said calmly.
Upon hearing this, Chen Xiao sneered, "So that's how it is. Do you know why he wants to take me there?"
"Don't ask so many questions. I'm only responsible for taking you to see Captain Lin. I don't know anything else," Tong Jinjian replied indifferently.
He didn't want to cause any more trouble. He just needed to bring Chen Xiao to Captain Lin.
Actually, Chen Xiao's question was also his own question. Why would Captain Lin meet a suspect in a hotel? He couldn't understand it.
He didn't know that this question was not a question for Chen Xiao at all. Chen Xiao asked this only to confirm whether Tong Jinjian and Lin Cheng were in cahoots.
It seemed that Tong Jinjian was unaware of what Lin Cheng was doing!
Soon, the two arrived at the Maple Leaf Hotel. As per Lin Cheng's instructions, Tong Jinjian brought Chen Xiao to room 1705.
"Captain Lin, I've brought the person," Tong Jinjian said respectfully after Lin Cheng opened the door.
Lin Cheng, showing no emotion, nodded and said, "Yes, just bring him in. You can go back now."
"What? Captain Lin, I don't need to stay here?" Tong Jinjian asked in surprise.
Lin Cheng frowned slightly, looking impatient.
"Just go if I tell you to. Why so many questions?"
Seeing that Captain Lin was angry, Tong Jinjian quickly retreated. Before leaving, he carefully closed the door behind him.
Only Lin Cheng and Chen Xiao were left in the room. Chen Xiao's lips curled into a slight smile as he asked Lin Cheng, "So, are you working for the Poxie Division, or for Mr. Huang?"
Lin Cheng was stunned. Clearly, Chen Xiao's question had caught him by surprise.
However, seeing the handcuffs on Chen Xiao's hands, his mood calmed down.
"Heh, Chen Xiao, you truly live up to your reputation. Nothing can be hidden from you!" Lin Cheng sneered. "Since you know everything, why did you let us arrest you?"
Chen Xiao smiled faintly, "If I hadn't been arrested, how could I have exposed your true colors?"
"Just to expose my true colors? That's quite a price you've paid." Lin Cheng's expression suddenly turned grim. "You know so many secrets. Even if Mr. Huang doesn't kill you, I won't let you leave here alive!"
Chen Xiao said dismissively, "Kill me? You probably don't know my strength yet."
"You've defeated a few Heavenly Ranking experts, you think I don't know that?" Lin Cheng said with a casual air. He had some knowledge of Chen Xiao's strength but didn't take it seriously.
"Oh? Since you know my strength, how dare you be so arrogant with me?" Chen Xiao's eyes narrowed.
Lin Cheng sneered, "Idiot, you probably don't know this, but the handcuffs on your hands are called the Eight Gates Great Lock. They have seals drawn by the four elders of the Poxie Division. No matter how capable you are, you won't be able to use your power under these seals! Try it if you don't believe me!"
Chen Xiao was slightly taken aback and quickly mobilized his internal energy.
The next moment, an incredible scene unfolded.
The handcuffs emitted a crackling sound, and streaks of blue electric sparks suddenly shot out, like countless small snakes, burrowing into Chen Xiao's body and sealing his meridians...
