Pan Wenxing’s heart jolted at the middle-aged man’s gaze, a hint of panic creeping in.
“Don’t worry, just tell the truth. My father is the vice president of this hospital. If anyone dares to harm you, I guarantee they won’t be leaving this hospital,” Xiao Ran said, pushing the wheelchair towards Pan Wenxing.
Xiao Ran was eager for Pan Wenxing to identify Chen Fan immediately. Once Pan Wenxing did, Chen Fan would be utterly ruined!
“That’s right, Mr. Pan, don’t be afraid. Speak the truth, and we reporters will stand by you!” the other reporters chimed in, offering their assurances.
Hearing their words, Pan Wenxing gradually calmed down. He pointed at the middle-aged man beside him. “It was him. He gave me two million to poison my mother. This has absolutely nothing to do with Dr. Chen. He instructed me to do it.”
Boom!
These words exploded like thunder in the hall.
The once noisy corridor fell into an instant silence. Everyone stared at Pan Wenxing, dumbfounded.
The middle-aged man looked shocked, the reporters were astonished, and Xiao Ran, sitting in his wheelchair, was utterly bewildered.
What was going on? Why had Pan Wenxing suddenly changed his story? Weren’t they in cahoots?
Everyone looked at Pan Wenxing in disbelief.
“Pan Wenxing, what nonsense are you spouting? When did I ever tell you to do such a thing? How could I possibly harm my sister-in-law? I know you’re being threatened. Hurry up and tell the truth, who is behind this!” the middle-aged man’s face turned ashen, and he questioned Pan Wenxing coldly.
“I’m not spouting nonsense. I have a recording of you calling me as evidence.”
“Also, he’s not my relative at all. I don’t even know who he is. Just a few days ago, he suddenly contacted me, saying that if I agreed to poison my mother, he would give me two million, and then another million after Dr. Chen was ruined!”
The middle-aged man looked flustered. He explained to the crowd, “Nonsense, utter nonsense! Pan Wenxing has gone mad. What he’s saying is completely unreliable!”
“Utter nonsense? He has a recording. Why don’t you let everyone listen? How can you claim it’s nonsense?” Chen Fan’s voice suddenly rang out.
“What recording? That’s just him using a voice changer. It’s fake.”
As he spoke, the middle-aged man snatched the phone from Pan Wenxing and smashed it to the ground.
With a crisp “crack,” the phone shattered into pieces.
To be safe, the middle-aged man stomped on the phone a dozen times, until the battery began to smoke, before he stopped.
“Everything requires evidence. Without evidence, how can you say this has anything to do with me? This is clearly an agreement between the two of you to frame me!” the middle-aged man sneered, glaring fiercely at Pan Wenxing.
Chen Fan’s lips curved into a slight smile. “Do you think that recording was the only one?”
He took out his phone, found a recording, and pressed play.
An audio clip of the middle-aged man paying Pan Wenxing to murder his mother echoed through the corridor.
Hearing the conversation between the two shattered everyone’s perception. They had never imagined that someone would go as far as to pay for a life to frame Chen Fan, and that someone else would be willing to kill their own mother for money.
“This is fake, all fake!” Hearing his own voice in the audio, the middle-aged man became agitated.
He lunged at Chen Fan, trying to snatch the phone.
But how could the middle-aged man be a match for Chen Fan? Before he could even touch Chen Fan, he stumbled and fell to the ground.
Xiao Ran stared blankly at the scene unfolding before him.
The phone he was holding was still live-streaming. The events that had just transpired and the recording had been heard by all the viewers in the live stream.
In an instant, all the curses directed at Chen Fan ceased. The tide had completely turned, and everyone was now defending Chen Fan!
“I knew it. How could a student from our Medical University do something so wicked? It turns out someone was framing our school’s student!” a Medical University professor commented on the bullet screen.
“Chen Fan has always been the best and most diligent student in his year. His achievements were all earned through his own hard work. I can’t believe someone would slander him! It’s intolerable.”
“I know Senior Chen Fan. I said he wouldn’t be that kind of person. Someone must be slandering him.”
“Slandering Senior Chen Fan is equivalent to slandering our Medical University. If I find out who that person is, I’ll throw them into a formaldehyde bath!”
“By the way, have you guys noticed? The title of this live stream is aimed at Senior Chen Fan.”
“Could it be that this person hired someone to kill and slander our Senior Chen?”
“What did this person just say? That he’s the son of the vice president? Who is the son of the vice president of our school’s hospital?”
“Does this even need to be asked? It’s definitely Xiao Ran from the 2020 cohort. He’s the son of the vice president of the First Hospital.”
“Damn it, is being the vice president’s son that great? Can you just falsely accuse others and tarnish the school’s reputation?”
Xiao Ran was unaware that the public opinion in the live stream had already completely turned against him.
By the time Xiao Ran realized what was happening, his live stream account had already been banned by the school.
Seeing the public outcry and his account being suspended, Xiao Ran’s face was utterly grim.
He had originally wanted to see Chen Fan make a fool of himself, but instead, he had gotten himself into trouble!
Chen Fan slowly walked over to the fallen middle-aged man. Grabbing his collar, he asked, “Where is Xia Yiting?”
The middle-aged man sneered, “Kid, you want to know? I won’t tell you!”
Chen Fan’s expression turned icy. A silver needle appeared in his hand. “You won’t talk? I have a hundred ways to make you speak.”
As he finished speaking, Chen Fan had already inserted the silver needle into the middle-aged man’s pressure point!
“Ah!” A scream echoed through the corridor.
“Kid, if you have the guts, kill me!” The middle-aged man, his face contorted, grabbed Chen Fan’s arm and yelled.
Chen Fan remained silent. Another silver needle appeared in his hand and was directly inserted into the middle-aged man’s left rib.
“Ah!” Another scream.
Combined with Chen Fan’s special technique, the middle-aged man felt his pain magnified tenfold!
Moreover, this pain kept him perfectly conscious, with no sign of fainting.
In just a moment, his entire body was drenched in cold sweat!
“I, I’ll talk, I’ll talk!” The middle-aged man finally couldn’t bear it any longer.
Chen Fan stopped, looking at the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man gasped for a moment, then suddenly pushed Chen Fan away.
Chen Fan hadn’t expected the man to resist again. He was pushed aside by the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man stood up and fled towards the exit.
“Chase!” Zhang Chongshan saw this and quickly ordered his bodyguards.
Several figures immediately gave chase.
The middle-aged man had excellent stamina, not inferior to the bodyguards. He quickly ran through the hospital’s outpatient building and then towards the outside, intending to hail a taxi.
However, just as the middle-aged man stepped onto the road.
A speeding car suddenly rammed into him.
The middle-aged man’s pupils dilated in terror.
“Bang!”
A violent collision sound rang out. The middle-aged man was sent flying, landing heavily on the ground.
Chen Fan and the others, who had just emerged from the outpatient building in pursuit, witnessed this scene.
