Seeing that the room was empty, Lin Hao, who had already been broken, slapped away the hand on his shoulder and grabbed Lin Xuan by the collar, his face full of cold smiles.
"Hmph! Lin Xuan, what are you pretending for? I know you hate me!"
"But so what? Even if I'm an illegitimate son, I can still take everything from you."
"Everyone will only believe me. That fool Lin Jianjun will only let me, this illegitimate son, inherit the family business, not you, the legitimate son."
"Remember this... you... will never defeat me..."
Thinking of the recent blows he had suffered at Lin Xuan's hands, Lin Hao became completely enraged, throwing away all pretense of hiding his true nature.
But what surprised him was... Lin Xuan's reaction was extremely calm, with a strange smile on his face.
"Oh! Lin Hao!"
"You look much better now than when you were pretending to be the nice guy."
"You... you..."
Staring at Lin Xuan, who seemed unfazed, Lin Hao became even more furious.
He was extremely unwilling. Over the past few years, he had always manipulated Lin Xuan at will.
The other side was completely like a cat playing with a mouse, allowing him to manipulate at will.
But somewhere along the line, the "cat and mouse" roles had reversed, and Lin Hao found himself gradually at a disadvantage in front of Lin Xuan.
This made Lin Hao completely unable to accept it in his heart.
"What are you so proud of?"
"If it weren't for your shares, what do you have to fight me with?"
"Even this vegetable person is a broken shoe I gave you. You just..."
Before Lin Hao could finish speaking, Lin Xuan's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he raised his hand to deliver a powerful "wall slam."
"Bang!!!"
"You pretentious guy, you think I gave you face?"
"Do you remember what I said when I slapped you the first time?"
"I don't care about you, but if you dare to talk about my wife, do you believe I won't slam you into oblivion?"
Under the force of the slam, Lin Hao's ears rang, and he couldn't even hear what Lin Xuan was saying.
But the intense pain on his cheek was crystal clear.
Am I being hit again?
How many times is this now?!
As the saying goes, enough is enough.
He couldn't take it anymore and snapped.
Since childhood, Lin Hao had never endured such humiliation.
Now, in just one week, everything had been lost to Lin Xuan, which made Lin Hao completely furious.
"Lin Xuan!!!"
Lin Hao first shouted loudly, assuming a basic Taekwondo stance, ready to give the bastard in front of him a lesson.
But Lin Xuan merely smiled disdainfully.
He casually blocked the kick coming his way.
"Flower fists and embroidered legs. Let me show you what real combat is."
Then, with a swift knife-hand strike to Lin Hao's neck, Lin Hao collapsed to the ground in pain.
Lin Xuan lunged forward again, grabbed Lin Hao by the collar, and delivered several more wall slams.
Slap! Slap! Slap!!!
Soon, Lin Hao's cheeks were swollen, his mouth bleeding, and he was screaming in pain...
'Well done.'
'Lin Xuan, keep going, beat this bastard who likes to fabricate lies.'
'Hmph, let's see if he dares to be arrogant after this!'
'But earlier... did Lin Xuan just call me his wife and stand up for me...?'
'This is a bit embarrassing... o(////▽////)q(????)'
…..
In the hospital bed, Su Qingge appeared to still be sleeping.
But her mind was very active, constantly cheering for Lin Xuan.
Although she couldn't see the scene, Su Qingge could still sense the situation just from the sounds...
When she first heard Lin Hao call her a "broken shoe," Su Qingge was absolutely furious.
However, she couldn't move, so she had no choice but to endure his humiliation.
But unexpectedly, Lin Xuan suddenly stood up for her, which made Su Qingge both touched and worried.
After all, she had heard that Lin Hao was a Taekwondo master and had enough strength to deal with a few ordinary people.
Would Lin Xuan really be okay?
Fortunately, her worries didn't come true...
Lin Xuan was actually quite capable and took down Lin Hao in just a few moves...
"Ahhh!!!"
Lin Hao's screams finally attracted the attention of the Su family outside.
Liu Juan, accompanied by a group of bodyguards, rushed into the room with anxious expressions.
"What happened? What's going on?"
"Are you okay, Mr. Lin?"
"Did this guy attack you?"
"......"
Seeing that everyone went straight to ask Lin Xuan first, not caring about the man lying on the ground, Lin Hao was so furious that he nearly fainted.
Anyone with normal eyes could see that he was the one who was beaten, right?!
Why is everyone asking if Lin Xuan is okay?
Clearly, I'm the one who's injured!!!
"This bastard! Just now, while I was distracted, preparing to sign the contract..."
"He suddenly reached out with his dirty hands and tried to molest Qingge. Luckily, I acted quickly and used the wall slam to stop him."
"This is all my fault. I didn't realize how ugly Lin Hao's heart was, and almost let him succeed..."
Lin Xuan's eyes were moist, his voice trembling, seemingly filled with self-blame for not protecting Su Qingge properly.
(òωó?) What?!
In broad daylight, how could he be so audacious?
Liu Juan and the others immediately turned their heads, glaring at Lin Hao with rage.
"Kill him!"
"He dared to lay a hand on our young lady, kill him!"
"Beast! I didn't expect you, who look so proper with glasses, to do something so vile!"
"........"
The group was incensed, shouting that Lin Hao should be killed.
Even when Lin Hao curled up in the corner, shouting that he was framed, no one believed him.
Fortunately, at this moment!
Our righteous partner, Lin Xuan, stopped the others from attacking, and said sternly: "Everyone! I understand your anger, but torturing someone privately is against the law."
"As law-abiding citizens, let's call the police! Let the police uncle help us deliver justice..."
…..
Five minutes later.
Beep beep~~~
The police arrived at the Su family house, as promised, to take Lin Hao away.
"Mr. Lin, we need you to come to the station to make a statement. Is it convenient for you now?"
"Convenient, convenient, I'll cooperate for sure!"
Before leaving, Lin Xuan held Su Qingge's hand, bidding her farewell reluctantly before following the police.
This affectionate scene moved everyone present.
He was so deeply in love with his comatose girlfriend...
What a deeply affectionate handsome man?!
And in the dark space of her consciousness...
Hearing the surrounding voices of regret, Su Qingge still appeared to be asleep, but she was already amused by Lin Xuan's antics in her heart.
'Lin Xuan is really ruthless.'
'His ability to make up such nonsense with a straight face is really impressive.'
'If Lin Hao's guilt is confirmed, his good reputation over the years will be completely ruined.'
'But this is also good, it saves Lin Hao from continuing to harm people under the guise of being a hypocrite.'
…..
Ten minutes later, inside the police station.
Under Lin Hao's furious, bloodshot eyes, Lin Xuan, with tearful eyes, sat on a wooden chair.
Looking at the righteous police officers in front of him, he wiped his tears and began explaining the situation.
He framed himself as a victim, unable to tolerate Lin Hao's actions, which led him to finally retaliate.
Lin Hao was painted as a ruthless villain who had secretly bullied him over the years.
He mentioned how Lin Hao had forced him to marry Su Qingge, yet now was trying to covet his fiancée's beauty, threatening and beating him...
He also spoke about how he had already been driven out of the Lin family, but Lin Hao still sought to destroy him completely...
He went on to describe how his "scum father" collaborated with his stepmother to use various forms of emotional abuse and mental manipulation on him.
…..
Inside the police station, countless righteous officers were moved to tears upon hearing the story.
Especially the part about how Lin Jianjun favored his illegitimate son, which had already been widely known in Modu.
At this moment, the officers were all predisposed to believe Lin Xuan's side of the story, their eyes filled with disgust when looking at Lin Hao.
"Wronged! This bastard is talking nonsense, don't believe him!"
"Lin Xuan, you despicable, shameless bastard! Spreading lies about me, if you have proof, show it!"
Inside the interrogation room, Lin Hao, hearing Lin Xuan's incessant ranting outside, cursed furiously.
In the past, it was always Lin Hao who schemed to frame Lin Xuan.
Now, he was the one being caught in his own trap, and the feeling was incredibly frustrating.
This was extremely humiliating for Lin Hao.
Just then, Lin Xuan completely ignored him and pulled out his phone from his pocket, playing a recording.
…..
[Hmph! Lin Xuan, what are you pretending for? I know you hate me!]
[But so what? Even if I'm an illegitimate son, I can still take everything from you.]
[Everyone will only believe me. That fool Lin Jianjun will only let me, this illegitimate son, inherit the family business, not you, the legitimate son.]
[Remember this... you... will never defeat me...]
…..
[What are you so proud of?]
[If it weren't for your shares, what would you have to fight me with?]
[Even this vegetable person is a broken shoe I gave you. You just...]
…..
Earlier, when Lin Hao was enraged, Lin Xuan secretly turned on his phone to record the most important few sentences.
Now, in front of everyone at the police station, Lin Hao's hypocritical face was completely exposed!
"Everyone, this was a recording I secretly made when my brother threatened me."
"It's a pity, I didn't know... my brother hated me so much! I just wanted to be a good older brother to him!"
"This is all my fault! I don't blame my brother, please, police officers, be lenient with him..."
"This is all my fault! I don't blame my brother, please treat him lightly..."
Hmph!
Isn't this just pretending to be a nice guy?
Who can't do that?
Did you think I didn't watch those melodramas before I crossed over?
Lin Xuan smirked in his mind, though his face remained sad, as if he had been betrayed, a tear hanging from the corner of his eye.
This pitiful look immediately garnered countless sympathetic glances.
As everyone listened to the arrogant and triumphant words of Lin Hao in the recording, they no longer doubted Lin Xuan.
What a tragedy?
Look at this wonderful child, yet he has to endure so many hardships...
Not only was his biological father replaced by a stepfather, but now he was also persecuted by his half-brother and stepmother.
The crowd became even more enraged and disgusted when they looked at Lin Hao, who was lying in a corner.
What?!
Lin Xuan is such a treacherous person; how could he be so despicable and shameless?
When did he secretly record the conversation?!
What a bastard!!!
What should I do now?!
If this recording reaches Lin Jianjun's ears...
The image I've carefully built as the "obedient son" will be completely ruined!
What should I do now?!
Inside the isolation room, Lin Hao was drenched in cold sweat.
He had completely transitioned from his initial anger to a state of helplessness...
As Lin Hao frantically thought about a way to break the deadlock,
The sound of Lin Xuan's voice came again from outside, earnest and sincere.
"Police uncle, can I talk to my brother alone?"
"I believe he is a good kid, he just went astray for a while."
"As the older brother, I want to talk some sense into him, let him come back to the right path, and confess to the authorities."
Seeing Lin Xuan's "pitiful" look, a police officer, who seemed to be a captain, felt a pang of sympathy and nodded in agreement.
…..
Three minutes.
The door clicked open, and as Lin Xuan entered the interrogation room,
The pitiful look on his face disappeared, replaced by a slightly teasing smile.
"So, what do you want?"
At this moment, Lin Hao no longer tried to conceal anything and directly confronted Lin Xuan.
After all, Lin Xuan had a hold over him, and arguing was meaningless.
"It's simple! Admit that you tried to molest Qingge today."
"You... you bastard, do you want to ruin me? It's impossible!"
Lin Hao was about to go mad, glaring at Lin Xuan with resentment.
Molesting a comatose person...
If he admits it, his reputation in Modu will be forever tarnished.
He would probably have to live under people's scorn for the rest of his life.
"How dare you speak?! Didn't you spread those terrible rumors about me in Modu? Half of my bad reputation is thanks to your schemes!"
"I'm using your own methods against you. Of course, you can refuse. As for the consequences..."
Lin Xuan opened his phone screen, showing the recording of Lin Hao's voice, full of threats.
After all, he was using the identity of his predecessor.
Lin Xuan didn't mind seeking justice for the original owner within his capabilities.
Moreover, for the plot that was about to unfold...
Whether it was his good reputation or the Lin family business, Lin Xuan intended to reclaim everything.
The first step was to make sure Lin Hao and his father became enemies.
He knew Lin Hao would definitely agree, because inheriting a fortune was more important than reputation.
To avoid Lin Jianjun changing his mind, Lin Hao had no choice but to agree.
And, as Lin Xuan expected, "I! Agree! To it!!!"
Lin Hao gritted his teeth and said the words one by one.
"But you must keep your promise and never leak the recording. Otherwise, I won't let you off!"
"Of course, I'm a man of my word."
Lin Xuan smiled and repeatedly gave his assurance.
Then, just as Lin Hao closed his eyes in reluctance,
Lin Xuan found the contact in his phone saved as "Stupid Stepdad" and sent the recording.
