The Fortunate Demoniac Little Village Doctor
Chapter 516 - 516 487 Guilty Conscience

516: Chapter 487: Guilty Conscience 516: Chapter 487: Guilty Conscience “How did it go back to normal…

Could it have been auditory hallucinations just now?

Damn, it must be because I’m too cooped up and anxious!” Xia Huai steadied his mind and said, “As long as she’s dead, that’s good!

Rest assured, as soon as the news comes out, I’ll send you the final payment.” After speaking, Xia Huai hung up the phone hastily, as if he was afraid of something.

“How’s it going?!

Have you located them yet?!” Liu Hun sat in a communication vehicle, outfitted with advanced equipment he had gotten through Gao Yelan.

“The call was too short!

We can’t pinpoint the exact location,” the technician told Liu Hun.

“Liu Boss, any luck?

Did we find it?” Zhong Xiao came down from another vehicle and hurriedly asked Liu Hun.

“We can’t pinpoint the exact location yet,” Liu Hun reported the technician’s words to Zhong Xiao.

“Should I have him make another call?!” Zhong Xiao asked Liu Hun.

Liu Hun waved his hand and said, “No need, calling again would make him suspicious.

You go keep an eye on him, I’ll tell you if anything comes up.”

“Yes!” Zhong Xiao responded and left.

“Liu Agent, I have another way to find him!” the technician suddenly said to Liu Hun.

“What way?” Liu Hun asked.

“We need to know his habits!” the technician replied.

The two immediately began discussing it together.

At past seven in the evening, right when people had finished dinner and were focused on watching TV, at that very moment, TV screens within a fixed range suddenly turned to static.

A moment later, subtitles appeared on the screens: Satellite signal anomaly, please text your home address to XXXXX so service can be restored as soon as possible.

Before long, Liu Hun in the communication vehicle saw texts with addresses flashing across four computer screens, while another computer integrated home addresses to restore the blocked TV signals one by one.

“Mr.

Liu, now in this area, there are only four households that haven’t sent texts.

The occupancy rate in this area is one hundred percent.

It’s possible the residents are temporarily away or not watching TV, but it’s more likely that one of them is the person you’re looking for.

You can have someone probe it, I’ll analyze these phone numbers.

I’ll hack into the mobile company’s database and verify the identity of the number owners.

Should any out-of-town or anomalously new numbers appear, I’ll let you know,” the technician told Liu Hun.

Liu Hun understood his meaning; it was very likely that Xia Huai was too cautious to send a text for fear of revealing his identity.

It was also possible that Xia Huai sent a text, and if that were the case, they’d have to wait for the technician’s analysis results.

But for now, they needed to screen whether Xia Huai was one of those four households.

Liu Hun immediately called Zhong Xiao, “Zhong Xiao, I’m sending you four addresses!

Have your guys disguise as food delivery and knock on the door, don’t spook them!”

After finishing, Liu Hun hung up and quietly waited for the results from Zhong Xiao and the technician.

Forty minutes later, a ringtone sounded.

“Ding ding ding…

ding ding ding…”

As soon as Liu Hun heard the phone ring, he picked it up immediately, “How did it go, Zhong Xiao, got any results?”

“We got it!

Building 6, third floor, Unit A!” Zhong Xiao replied to Liu Hun.

“I’m coming to your car now!” Liu Hun hung up, thinking about how Xia Huai was indeed careful and cautious, not daring to make calls.

“Thanks!

Give me one of your business cards,” Liu Hun said to the technician beside him.

The technician immediately handed Liu Hun his business card, which Liu Hun glanced at and, on impulse, wrote a check for ten thousand as a tip, saying, “I’ve got you in mind!

This is for your hard work!”

Liu Hun left the communication vehicle and got into Zhong Xiao’s car…

Xia Huai, looking at the subtitles on the TV, felt increasingly stifled for living in such a place and even received a wrong food delivery.

“Damn it!

I, Xia Huai, have ended up in such a shitty place!” Xia Huai grumbled indignantly, “You bunch of beasts!

Sooner or later, you all will pay with your lives!”

“Squeak…”

While Xia Huai was mumbling to himself, a newspaper was shoved under his door, startling him.

“Crap!

These junk flyers coming out of nowhere!” Xia Huai cursed a few words, feeling bored, and picked up the newspaper that was delivered, flipping through it…

“My God…

whoosh!” Upon seeing Qin Yan’s death in the newspaper, Xia Huai immediately threw the paper aside.

He steadied his nerves before picking it up again.

Qin Yan lay on the hospital bed looking pale, with her long black hair spread out on either side, her face devoid of any color.

“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!” Xia Huai crumpled the newspaper furiously and tossed it into the trash bin, cursing, “Despicable woman!

You got what you deserved!

You’ll pay for your betrayal!

My current plight is all because of you!”

After venting his anger, Xia Huai picked up the phone to call the Assassin; he was ready to execute the second step of his plan.

“Hello!” An icy voice came from the other end of the phone.

“Hey!

I got the news, Qin Yan is indeed dead!

Now, I want you to proceed with the next step!” Xia Huai viciously instructed the Assassin.

“What…

repay with my life…

plan…

give me back my life…

my final payment…

I will come looking for you…

when to settle…

find you at night…” the assassin asked Xia Huai.

“Slap!” Xia Huai slammed down what was in his hand, this time he heard it loud and clear!

It was definitely Qin Yan’s voice, exactly the same!

No mistake!

“Clang!

Clang!

Clang!” Suddenly, a series of rapid knocks sounded, and Xia Huai swallowed hard with fear and asked, “Who is it?!”

As soon as his trembling voice finished asking, the sounds outside the door ceased.

Silence…

deathly silence…

Xia Huai wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and tiptoed to the door to peer outside through the peephole, but there was nothing there.

Perhaps it was some annoying kid!

Xia Huai comforted himself and looked up outside the window; it had already grown dark.

Xia Huai sat on the stool and pondered for a while before deciding to leave this place.

It was too eerie and he couldn’t afford to stake his life.

The more Xia Huai thought, the more afraid he became.

He quickly packed his important belongings and quietly opened the door to peek out.

There was nothing at the door.

“Phew!” Xia Huai let out a long breath and hurried down the stairs.

“Whoosh whoosh whoosh!”

As Xia Huai emerged from the stairwell, a multitude of police lights suddenly lit up, blinding him.

“Woo wah!

Woo wah!

Woo wah!” The sirens of police cars roared to life.

Xia Huai immediately realized he had been fooled and just as he thought to run, he was pinned to the ground by two policemen.

“Click click click…”

Liu Hun had arranged for journalists from Tianyu Media to once again acquire exclusive material, capturing the whole scene of Xia Huai’s arrest.

News of Xia Huai’s arrest once again swept through the major media headlines.

With exclusive material, Tianyu Media managed to carve out a bloody path, leading in television viewership ratings and magazine sales by a wide margin, leaving the top five media companies far behind, creating a surge of envy among peers.

Besides assault, absconding due to fear of punishment, now Xia Huai faced another charge of hiring an assassin.

When this news reached Xia Minglang’s ears, he fainted on the spot and was rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment.

“…Entertainment break break break!

Today is simply a massively huge earthquake in the entertainment industry!

The fugitive general manager of Xingle Group has been apprehended by the police!

And he’s been charged with the crime of hiring an assassin!

This time, the once-envied Prince of the entertainment circle has tremendously fallen…”

“…Gossip headlines!

Welcome to today’s top news!

The ongoing Xia Huai assault case has new updates!

He’s been caught!

But that’s not even the most explosive news!

The most explosive is, he didn’t appear in public; instead, he was hiding in a residential building, hiring an assassin to remotely direct the murderous acts—how terrifying!”

“…Today’s information welcomes you to watch!

The explosion in the entertainment industry is comparable to a super earthquake!

One of the three giants, the Prince of Xingle Group has been arrested while on the run!

It’s very likely he will face a harsh sentence under public pressure!

But what’s more worrisome is that the Xingle Group chairman, Xia Minglang, has also been hospitalized due to this major blow!

Currently, Xingle Group is like a building on the verge of collapse before a storm; what future lies ahead for this entertainment industry titan?

Will it fall or rise from the ashes?

Let’s wait and see!”

“…”

“He deserves it!

Deserves it!

Deserves it!

Deserves it!

This Xia Huai is too bad!

How could he hit a girl!

And to beat Yani like that…” Shi Qing’er said, then burst into tears on Liu Hun’s shoulder again.

That day, according to Liu Hun’s arrangement, Lin Xiaoxiang made her watch a live broadcast on TV, and when she saw Xia Huai slap Qin Yan down and kept kicking her head, she started crying bitterly.

Liu Hun also knew that Shi Qing’er had always been a pure person, which was why he had been trying in every possible way to protect Shi Qing’er’s nature; he didn’t want Shi Qing’er to be too tainted.

“There, don’t cry, Qin Yan has recovered!” Liu Hun said gently to Shi Qing’er.

“No!

She was so badly hurt and nearly died, how could she be okay just like that!

You’re lying to me!” Shi Qing’er sobbed.

“I really have recovered, I’m not lying to you!”

Eh…

Who is speaking?

Shi Qing’er’s head snapped up, her expression couldn’t keep up, and she was still wearing a crying face when she looked up…

“Mother!

A ghost!” Shi Qing’er suddenly sprang away from Liu Hun’s side, bounced over to Lin Xiaoxiang, and grabbed her hand, trembling.

“Yani has been well for a while!

Qing’er, don’t be afraid!” Lin Xiaoxiang said with a smile to Shi Qing’er.

“Yes, come here and see, a living person wouldn’t lie to you,” Liu Hun motioned to Shi Qing’er.

Shi Qing’er hesitated for a moment, then moved cautiously to Qin Yan’s side.

Qin Yan stretched out her hand and hugged Shi Qing’er tight until Shi Qing’er felt her heartbeat and warmth, only then did she truly believe she was real.

Shi Qing’er touched Qin Yan’s face, watching her mouth twist, “Wow…

I dream about you every day, and also that you…

died…”

Liu Hun looked at Shi Qing’er’s childish nature and couldn’t help but laugh.

Three days after Xia Huai was sentenced to life imprisonment, the news of Qin Yan’s recovery was released.
