"Some people are questioning if my child really healed a comatose patient. Me standing here is the best proof! News of me being in a coma can still be found online; my recovery is all thanks to her. She healed me with her Blue Ling Golden Needles."
"It's not that I didn't want to clarify for my child sooner, but I'm insignificant, and I feared you wouldn't believe me. So, for the past two days, I've been contacting other patients she's treated."
Nan Xiao said as he took out a piece of A4 paper covered in fingerprints from his jacket pocket and showed it to everyone.
"This contains the signatures of ninety-nine fellow patients. They are all willing to testify for Lan Yu Xi."
Lan Yu Xi's body stiffened slightly. In such a short time, he had found so many people.
Was she touched?
A little!
But what she valued most was his concern!
However, this constant referring to her as "my child"...
She was already twenty-four, no longer a child who needed his protection!
Lan Yu Xi forcefully pulled away his hand that was still shielding her, took out a USB drive, and with a cold expression, walked out from behind him.
"This contains video testimonials from some of the patients I've treated. Both Guotai and Jingtai have arranged for it to be broadcast tomorrow during the News at Thirty. If you have any doubts, you can watch it then! Also, due to your impolite behavior, I refuse to answer any of your questions! Now, please get out of the way!"
This girl's aura was even more powerful than Nan Xiao's!
The crowd swallowed hard and instinctively parted to both sides, clearing a path.
Under the gaze of everyone, Lan Yu Xi walked out and got into her custom two-tone purple and white Rolls-Royce Phantom.
"So luxurious! No wonder they say she's already a wealthy family herself and doesn't need to latch onto others."
Hearing the reporters' hushed whispers, Nan Xiao frowned displeasedly. The driver was that man, and she got into someone else's car.
She had grown up and now had others around her, no longer needing his protection. But he still didn't want her to suffer any grievance.
Nan Xiao cleared his throat lightly, and the crowd refocused their attention on him.
"Today, you can publish the news in text or audio recordings, but you are not allowed to broadcast any images of Lan Yu Xi and me."
After speaking, Nan Xiao gestured slightly, and two bodyguards stepped forward.
The reporters dared not speak up and could only delete all images of Nan Xiao and Lan Yu Xi under the supervision of the bodyguards.
Just as the reporters were about to leave, Nan Xiao casually stopped two of them.
The two initially panicked but, seeing that Nan Xiao had no intention of making things difficult for them, felt a little relieved.
"Who notified you that Lan Yu Xi was dining here?" Nan Xiao's voice was slightly cold, making the two of them turn pale.
One of them, slightly bolder, pulled out his phone and opened a message. "It was this number that sent me the address and Ms. Lan's photo."
The other person also took out his phone to check. "Yes, it's this number, and the content is the same."
Nan Xiao glanced at it. The photo wasn't taken recently, and the background seemed to be the Dihou Hotel.
Nan Xiao frowned, noted down the phone number, and then let the two reporters leave.
When Lan Yu Xi returned to her villa on the hillside, news about her was once again trending.
Although the situation seemed resolved, a big question mark hung over Lan Yu Xi's mind.
Just as she was about to make a call, Lan Mu Shang's phone rang first.
After finishing the call, Lan Mu Shang said apologetically, "Xi'er, I can't stay with you. I have to attend a video conference."
Lan Yu Xi looked at him and smiled, "If you have something to do, hurry up and go. Why are you looking at me with that expression?"
"Even though the public opinion has reversed, the person behind it hasn't been found. I know you must be in a bad mood right now. Don't worry, I've already assigned people to investigate. Once we find that person, your big brother will deal with him for you!"
Lan Yu Xi smiled and waved her hand. "Don't trouble yourself with such a small matter. My subordinates are also investigating, and they are quite capable."
Lan Mu Shang held her shoulders with both hands and said very seriously, "I know my sister is very strong, but you are no longer alone. You have us. Don't always try to handle everything yourself; leave some things for us to do."
"I know, I won't do anything from now on, and I'll leave it all to you. Is that satisfactory?" Lan Yu Xi smiled and pushed him into the study, even thoughtfully closing the door for him.
As soon as she returned to the living room, her phone rang.
"Miss Xi, we've found out who blackmailed you!"
"Who?"
"Xia Chaoyang."
Xia Chaoyang!
The son of Servant Xia Ma from the Nan family.
That wicked servant Xia Ma was like a dog kept by the old lady of the Nan family, doing whatever she was told.
This meant that the real person behind the blackmail was the old lady of the Nan family!
How much did that old woman hate her!
She had just saved her son, and in return, she bit her.
However, the old lady of the Nan family had always been stubborn. Even if she were found, she wouldn't admit it without evidence.
And the Xia mother and son would never betray the old lady.
Because as long as the old lady was there, even if Xia Chaoyang were handed over, she would get him out in less than two hours.
Lan Yu Xi let out a cold laugh. What did the old saying go?
You have to consider the owner before you hit the dog.
Then, she would beat this dog today to show its owner!
"Gather the people, sis is taking you out to have fun!"
"Alright~"
Xia Residence.
Madam Xia was sitting in the living room, happily watching the TV drama starring her daughter.
As she was about to pop a sunflower seed into her mouth, she heard a loud crash. Frowning, she looked over and saw a tall man holding a baseball bat leap in through the shattered glass window.
"You, you... Zhang Ma! Lao Wang! Come quickly! Someone has broken in!"
The man ignored her completely, heading straight for the entrance and opening the door.
More than a dozen people immediately swarmed into the living room.
The Xia family's living room was larger than that of an average two-bedroom apartment, but after these dozen people entered, the living room immediately felt cramped.
Madam Xia sat on the sofa, her face ashen.
The servants of the Xia family were so scared they hid in the corners, not daring to come out.
Lan Yu Xi, surrounded by the group, put her hands behind her back and looked around.
"Tsk, tsk, the son of a servant has such a large enterprise. It seems the Nan family has taken good care of you all these years."
"You? Lan Yu Xi?!"
Madam Xia, seeing that Lan Yu Xi was the one leading the group, instantly felt a surge of confidence. She pointed at Lan Yu Xi and shouted.
"Lan Yu Xi, do you still think you're the high and mighty young miss of the Nan family? Without the Nan family, you are nothing. You dare to trespass on private property, and I'll have you sent away in minutes!"
Lan Yu Xi let out a cold laugh and suddenly raised the baseball bat.
"Ah—" Madam Xia thought Lan Yu Xi was going to hit her and ducked behind the sofa with her head in her hands.
Lan Yu Xi gave her a disdainful look and, with the baseball bat, quickly smashed the television.
"Where is Xia Chaoyang?" After smashing the TV, Lan Yu Xi had someone pull Madam Xia out from behind the sofa.
"I, I don't know..." Madam Xia squatted at Lan Yu Xi's feet with her head in her hands, like a quail.
Lan Yu Xi kicked her in disgust. "Not telling the truth, huh? I don't believe your head is harder than the television!"
