"Yes, I ran away, I admit that. This made me realize that being a hero is not easy at all."

"I also have to say one thing, this Tuesday, a lawyer named Lai Huahui, representing Xu Feng, found me for compensation. Out of guilt, my parents paid one hundred thousand to settle it."

"As far as I know, Peng Yutang's family also paid one hundred thousand."

Lin Miao snorted, "This guy really did what he said. He made these two pay the price. It's so shameful..."

At this moment, a mobile phone ringtone suddenly echoed in the living room.

Li Haoxiang hurriedly pulled out his phone, saw the caller ID, and laughed, "It's a call from Lai Huahui; it seems they can't sit still anymore."

After saying this, he pressed a few buttons and set the call to speaker mode.

"Lawyer Lai, hello, still not resting this late!" Li Haoxiang asked casually.

A somewhat exasperated voice came through the phone, "Lawyer Li, you must have been waiting for my call, right? You were already prepared, setting a trap, just waiting for us to fall into it!"

"You are… you are…"

"What are we?"

Li Haoxiang snorted coldly, "You can't tell me you don't know anything about the truth."

"If you hadn't done such ungrateful extortion, today's conversation between us would never have happened."

Some heavy breathing could be heard on the other end, indicating there was more than one person.

Lai Huahui's voice was calmer as it came back, "Lawyer Li, things have come to this point. How about we each take a step back and settle this?"

"Each take a step back?"

Li Haoxiang mocked, "Aren't you dreaming?"

"My client, a skilled doctor who selflessly saved your client, a noble doctor who rescued so many injured during the earthquake disaster."

"You've maliciously distorted the facts and openly defamed and attacked him online, severely damaging his reputation and causing him immense harm."

Li Haoxiang glanced at Lin Jie, speaking solemnly, "Now, on behalf of my client, I officially notify you and your client that we will file a lawsuit against you for defamation, extortion, etc., and seek compensation for reputation damage and emotional distress."

"Defamation and extortion? Are you joking?" Lai Huahui shouted over the phone.

Li Haoxiang replied earnestly, "I'm not joking. Just based on the misleading facts you've spread online, a lawsuit for defamation against you is certainly viable."

"As for extortion..."

Li Haoxiang taunted, "Should I remind you of our call at eight o'clock?"

"You were adamant about a compensation demand of no less than ten million. If you can't remember, I can replay the recording for you."

"You... you..."

Lai Huahui's voice suddenly turned menacing, threatening, "If you keep pushing like this, you're going to cause a big issue."

"Let me tell you, Xu Feng could develop severe depression; if something really happens, it won't be good for you either."

Li Haoxiang snorted disdainfully, "Lawyer Lai, let me remind you, I also recorded this conversation. I could interpret your words as..."

He hadn't finished speaking when the other side abruptly hung up…

The situation was set, and as it was getting late, Lin Jie and the others went to their rooms to rest…

At nearly six in the morning, Lin Jie, still asleep in An Kexin's embrace, was woken up by Zhang Xiaoxiao.

"A-Jie, Kexin, something happened, something big, wake up!"

Seeing Zhang Xiaoxiao looking anxious, Lin Jie and An Kexin immediately got up and followed her to the living room, where they found Li Haoxiang already there.

He turned the laptop screen towards Lin Jie and the others and said gravely, "Expert Lin, Xu Feng is now sitting on the rooftop doing a live video broadcast."

"He said that in a moment of confusion, he did something wrong and wants to atone for it with his life."

"It's unclear whether he's doing this to force us to let him go or if he's serious!"

Damn, such a thing happened.

Lin Jie and An Kexin sat on the sofa watching the small live video window.

The image in the window shook significantly, sometimes showing Xu Feng's face, sometimes the ground ten meters below, with the sound of wind whooshing past occasionally.

"... unexpectedly rescued, and when I woke up, I was very happy."

"But the happiness didn't last long, and I realized that I'd spend the rest of my life in a wheelchair, which made me very scared and worried."

In the live broadcast video, Xu Feng's somewhat unclear voice came through, "Later, I found out the rescue helicopter arrived just after I was amputated, and I thought if they had come a few minutes earlier, would my legs have been saved?"

"That thought was like a demon, turning around in my mind."

"Later it became, if not amputated, my legs would surely have been saved."

"Swayed by this crazy idea, I no longer felt grateful to Dr. Lin, but instead developed hatred, intense hatred..."

"Last night, your scolding woke me up, I truly awakened."

"Please spare my parents, spare my uncle, they're unaware, they were all led astray by me. I don't know if my life-saving benefactor is watching this video, please, someone kindly contact him!"

Xu Feng said sincerely, "I just want to personally say thank you, then apologize."

"I'm already a wreck, don't want to live a crippled life, I just want to sincerely say thank you and sorry before I die."

"Please, the kind-hearted watching this live video, help me contact Dr. Lin..."

Li Haoxiang noticed Lin Jie's gaze and said softly, "He's been broadcasting for over half an hour now, always asking to speak with you directly in the video."

"This makes me feel that he's not really seeking death but wants to use this method to get you to drop future charges against him..."

Lin Jie looked at the live stream window covered with a barrage of comments, some persuading him not to seek death, others explicitly cursing, telling him to die quickly and reincarnate.

There were comments of all kinds.

Lin Jie thought for a moment and said, "If I don't contact him, he just won't jump, right?"

Li Haoxiang paused for a moment, then smiled in realization, "It should be like that. I'll contact the police and fire department over at Xu Feng's place to get him down first."

"Hey, wait a minute!"

An Kexin suddenly pointed to a comment, "Look at this..."

The comment was a link address with a sentence, "He is pretending to seek death; click on this link."

Lin Jie operated for a bit, entered the link address on another window, and a post appeared.

The first floor of the post was a high-definition photo.

In the photo, someone was sitting on the edge of a rooftop more than ten meters high, holding a phone for the live broadcast.

The second floor was a zoomed-in photo, clearly showing that the person sitting on the rooftop edge was Xu Feng.

The third floor was a further zoomed-in photo showing a face mostly exposed behind the solar water heater not far behind Xu Feng.

Lin Jie recognized the face; it was Lai Huahui's face.

Damn, Lin Jie was furious.

This family really spares no effort.

"Hoo... Xiao Feng... ah... bang"

At this moment, a shout and a scream suddenly came from the computer...

Lin Jie hurriedly switched the page back to the live stream page, only to find the live stream had stopped.

What happened? Did he really jump?
