The entanglement at the main entrance of the Han family villa had gradually escalated to a fever pitch. Seeing that his commotion had yielded no response from the Han family for a long time, the man said to those behind him, "Since you are unwilling to give me an explanation, I will charge in and demand an explanation from your patriarch."
Upon hearing this, a crowd of supporters behind him erupted.
In an instant, he led the people he had brought with him, along with the so-called "righteous individuals," to storm the premises.
The security guards at the Han family villa looked troubled and stood at the entrance, blocking the surging crowd. They held their ground, not yielding an inch, yet did not dare to take any action.
While blocking, the captain of the security guards said with difficulty, "Please do not cause trouble. The Han family has already stated they will provide compensation, but your wife's condition has not been verified. We ask for your patience!"
Before the security guard's words had finished, the man slapped him across the face and shouted, "How long am I supposed to wait patiently? I have the medicine box right here; isn't this your family's medicine? I can also provide the blood test report. The Han family produced this medicine and ruined my family. It's already merciful of me not to demand your lives!"
"Yes, yes, didn't they say before they would recall all problematic medicine? How could such a thing still happen! This family is so pitiful; such a happy family, gone just like that."
"Yes, yes, yes, let's all stand up for him. If they don't compensate, we won't leave. How can such a matter be ignored?"
"Everyone charge in and demand that the Han family patriarch come out and give us an explanation. Wicked capitalism harms people deeply..."
"..."
At these words, everyone became incensed and wanted to rush into the villa. Conflicts erupted everywhere.
While the Han family's bodyguards refrained from acting, the emotionally charged individuals were far from docile. They immediately began grabbing, hitting, and kicking the bodyguards.
In moments, several bodyguards were injured. One impetuous young guard, his face scratched, lost his temper and could no longer restrain himself. He retaliated with a fierce punch to the leading man.
The punch landed squarely on the man's face, instantly causing a nosebleed.
The man immediately collapsed onto the ground, crying even louder, "Fine, you people from the Han family are bullies. If you have the guts, kill me today. If you can't kill me, I'll make sure you compensate me not only for my wife and child but also for my emotional distress and medical expenses. Everyone, come quickly and see! The Han family has lost all conscience and treats human lives as worthless!"
At once, everyone became even more furious. "This is too much; they're actually hitting people."
"Let's all grab this bodyguard who hit him."
"Yes, it's outrageous. The Han family bullies people and treats lives as worthless!"
"..."
Seeing the situation worsen, the captain of the security guards immediately instructed those behind him, "Hurry and invite the family patriarch!"
Before long, the Han family patriarch emerged, his steps a little unsteady. In just a few days, the old man appeared to have aged by several years. He angrily slammed his cane onto the ground a few times, making a sound in an attempt to quiet the scene.
His voice, laden with age and weariness, said, "My Han family will honor its commitments. However, this incident has not yet been definitively proven to be caused by our medicine. Once all investigations are complete, the Han family will compensate to the fullest extent without holding back a single cent!"
The people that the woman who saved Rui'er last time had provided information about had all been compensated, yet this man was clearly not on the list.
He had brought the medicine box and autopsy report, gathered so many people, and come here to cause a disturbance, demanding ten million in compensation. If he didn't get it, he would create a scene and cause trouble.
As more people gathered, it would undoubtedly affect the Han family's reputation. It wasn't that he couldn't afford the compensation, but given that the matter was still unresolved, what would happen if he paid so easily, leading a multitude of others to follow suit?
Han Feng had gone to the Security Bureau, Han Zheng had been arrested, and Han Rui was injured... Would the Han family's reputation be ruined by his hands, Han Cai?
Upon thinking this, a trace of desolation crossed the old man's wrinkled face.
At his words, the man instantly became enraged, sitting on the ground and shouting, "Verification, until when? Tell me! My wife ate your medicine; the medicine box is in my hand, and the forensic report also confirms that my wife's body still contained residual components of your manufactured drug that had not been fully metabolized."
At this statement, the crowd became even more incensed.
"Yes, this is simply inhumane!"
"Forget it, you just want to delay and drag things out until the patient dies, and then everything will be fine. We don't buy your tricks."
"Yes, if they don't compensate, then let them pay with their lives!"
As the words fell, someone, it was unclear who, picked up a stone and hurled it fiercely at Han Cai, who was standing there.
A stone the size of a fist, if it hit, would surely claim a life. Han Cai's eyes widened as he watched the stone hurtling towards him. Being physically impaired, his attempt to dodge was clearly too late. The bodyguard standing beside him immediately tried to rush forward to protect him, but unfortunately, they were too far apart, and it was likely too late.
Just at this moment, a white figure suddenly flashed past, directly catching the thrown stone with its hand. The figure seemed to appear out of nowhere before Han Cai, leaving no trace, as if it were a ghost.
While everyone was stunned, they also got a clear look at the person before them: a beautiful young girl dressed in a white hoodie and light blue jeans. This girl was none other than Bai Xi.
She had wanted to find Han Rui to investigate the situation, but Han Rui had gone mad and staged the hotel "selling goods" incident.
She had wanted to find the Han family patriarch to investigate, but the patriarch was being harassed.
Was the Han family experiencing a streak of bad luck, or was it her own? However, since she had promised to help Han Rui restore the Han family's honor, she would naturally do so.
Moreover... Bai Xi looked at the man before her, who was incessantly playing the victim and clamoring for the Han family to pay. This man deserved to die the most!
At this moment, the man stood up, one hand covering his nose, and loudly declared, "Who are you? Why are you helping the Han family!"
"Yes, this is a matter between our elder brother and the Han family. Outsiders should mind their own business!"
"Yes, yes, yes, this is not something outsiders can interfere with."
"They are all victim's families. You are helping the Han family, these murderers who treat human lives as worthless, proving you are no good either." "Yes, yes, yes, let's all pick up stones and throw them at her, beat her to death!"
"Yes, beat her to death!"
"..."
Hearing this, Bai Xi raised an eyebrow slightly and said calmly, "You are welcome to try."
As she spoke, the powder from the stone began to trickle from between her fingers, gently rising in the wind like dust.
At once, everyone who had been preparing to pick up stones froze, standing rooted to the spot, not daring to move.
Han Cai looked at the girl before him, his eyes filled with a mix of gratitude and curiosity.
Gratitude stemmed from her having cleared Rui'er's name by investigating everything previously, and yesterday she had even saved Rui'er from the unfilial Han Zheng.
Curiosity arose because he didn't know who she was or how she possessed such abilities. The ability to crush a stone into powder with her bare hands felt like watching a movie.
Faced with Bai Xi's powerful entrance, the crowd clearly grew a bit intimidated.
