Chapter 843: Chapter 844: Schemes and Conspiracies

"Li Changlin, you, you’ve gone too far," Fang Mingqiang said awkwardly from the side.

Li Changlin turned his head abruptly, glancing coldly at him.

A chill ran down Fang Mingqiang’s spine, and he immediately felt as if the room’s temperature had plummeted. He hastily forced a smile and opened his mouth to say something.

However, Li Changlin wasn’t about to waste his time arguing. With a wave of his hand, he sternly commanded, "Spare me the nonsense. If you keep whining, believe it or not, I will break three of your legs!"

This was a blatant threat. Fang Mingqiang, a member of the Capital City Eight Great Aristocratic Families, was not accustomed to such treatment.

But he was smart enough to realize he was outmatched at the moment and dared not challenge Li Changlin outright.

After pondering for a moment, he eventually looked up and said awkwardly, "Li Changlin, there might be some misunderstanding about today’s events. You and Jiahao are old acquaintances after all. Let’s put this matter to rest, shall we? We won’t say anything more and leave right now, okay?"

As a descendent of one of the Capital City Eight Great Aristocratic Families, even as a side branch, the indignation in Fang Mingqiang’s heart was imaginable.

At the same time, he had made a vicious decision in his heart; he vowed to make Li Changlin pay for today’s incident and strip him of everything.

While harboring these thoughts, Fang Mingqiang showed no hint of them on his face; truly a capable hero who knows when to yield and when to stand tall.

Beside him, Duan Jiahao finally spoke up, frustration evident in his tone, "Li Changlin, I concede today’s incident. Please give me a chance for Tianyi’s sake. I promise I won’t oppose you anymore!"

There was no choice, Duan Jiahao knew that if he didn’t back down now, things could get even worse.

To be honest, he was filled with regret. Had he known that a person surnamed Li was so formidable, he never would have provoked him in the first place.

Especially since he had just had Li Changlin beaten up, which amounted to nearly shooting himself in the foot.

Nearby, Sheng Minjia had gotten up from the floor.

The arrogance that had once graced her face was gone. Her head hung low, and her body was still trembling slightly.

"Get lost," Li Changlin said, paying no mind to the woman. He had no liking for Duan Jiahao or Fang Mingqiang, but one was Bai Zicong’s junior and the other Luo Tianyi’s cousin. Although he internally disapproved, he couldn’t just drag them over for a beating.

He felt somewhat helpless about it, but he suffered no actual loss from today’s events. They could consider the matter closed.

"Yes, yes, we’re leaving now," Duan Jiahao quickly agreed, leading his group out of the room dejectedly.

"Mr. Li," Xi Yiling called out in fright from the side.

The events had truly terrified her.

Especially the smell of blood that still lingered in the room, it was too much for her to bear.

Li Changlin nodded and then turned to Han Zhicheng, "Boss Han, I’m sorry about today’s trouble. Please have someone clean this room. Miss Xi, let’s go."

"Alright, alright," Xi Yiling quickly agreed, following Li Changlin out of the room.

Han Zhicheng opened his mouth as if to speak but ultimately said nothing.

Today’s incident had truly been an unjust calamity for him.

Still, with nowhere to reason it out, Han Zhicheng could only swallow the bitter pill and consider how he might settle the score in the future.

Having left Zhicheng Recording Studio, Xi Yiling called for a driver, then dropped Li Changlin off at the hospital entrance before taking her leave.

Li Changlin entered the hospital and headed straight for the inpatient area. The truth was, today had been quite frustrating, but in the end, it was because he had inadvertently involved Xi Yiling. He felt somewhat embarrassed to say anything about it in the car.

Li Changlin, having been through similar situations, could see the tension between Xi Yiling, Han Zhicheng, and Sheng Minjia. However, noticing that Xi Yiling had no interest in Han Zhicheng, Li Changlin had decided to intercede and take her with him.

He now wondered whether he had mishandled the situation; after all, Han Zhicheng was Xi Yiling’s classmate, and he probably shouldn’t have meddled in their personal affairs.

But since the deed was done, there was no use in regretting it.

Whatever happened to their relationship in the future had nothing to do with him.

After all, in anyone’s life, others are merely fleeting passersby.

Perhaps this encounter was coincidental, never to occur again.

So, that was that.

Shaking his head, Li Changlin stepped into the elevator. Soon, he was on the upper floor, making his way to Ye Xiyao’s ward.

Meanwhile, around the same time, not far from Zhicheng Recording Studio, Duan Jiahao slapped the table in a sulky mood.

He had just arranged for Fang Mingqiang to have Ali and Li Shiming taken to the hospital.

His two bodyguards had been beaten up so badly; as their employer, it was a blow to his pride.

Fang Mingqiang, understanding this, gave Sheng Minjia a look, suggesting she step aside.

Sheng Minjia was perceptive; without saying a word, she stood up, claiming she needed to visit the restroom. Duan Jiahao waved his hand to show he understood, and Sheng Minjia walked away with the clacking of her heels.

"Mingqiang, got something to say?" Fang Mingqiang’s secret gesture to Sheng Minjia didn’t escape Duan Jiahao’s notice.

Once the woman had left, he spoke up and asked.

Fang Mingqiang had his own grudge against Li Changlin and now wanted to use Duan Jiahao’s influence to take action against him. Naturally, he had no reason to hold back.

He began by revealing Li Changlin’s identity, then proceeded to talk about the upcoming battle between Li Changlin and the Feixue Legion’s White Butterfly.

This news was already spreading like wildfire on the Endless forum. To increase the visibility of the battle, the Endless platform had even done promotional campaigns on several well-known video websites.

It was just that Duan Jiahao had been quite busy recently and hadn’t focused on these affairs.

Otherwise, given Duan Jiahao’s status on the Endless live streaming platform, he would surely have taken notice of Li Changlin earlier.

Duan Jiahao did know Li Changlin was a live streamer; Li Changlin had live-streamed the event at Huacheng during the Spring Festival couplet contest. But back then, Duan Jiahao hadn’t paid much attention, so he was unaware of which platform Li Changlin used for his streams.

Upon hearing Fang Mingqiang’s mention, he suddenly became interested.

Duan Jiahao’s account on the Endless live streaming platform was also of a Prince level, and because he was ranked tenth among the platform’s top spenders, he even had access to an exclusive item.
