Chapter 486 Chen Xuan is Captured
Footsteps echoed in succession.
Chen Xuan frowned slightly, took a sip of the tea brought to his lips, and then looked up, his pupils contracting slightly.
He saw a group of people walk into the Renxin Medical Clinic.
Gao Shao, Li Hongyan, and a strange middle-aged man led the way, followed by more than a dozen young people wearing uniforms of the Industry and Commerce Association.
From inside the clinic, several cars from the Industry and Commerce Association could be seen parked outside.
Gao Shao and Li Hongyan stared at Chen Xuan with cold smiles.
Gao Shao disdained such tactics, but at the auction the day before yesterday, Chen Xuan not only stole his thunder but also made him lose face, forcing him to cooperate with Li Hongyan.
It had to be said that Li Hongyan was indeed cunning. By leveraging the connections of the Liu Corporation and her own medical skills, she had befriended many people, including Xu Daqian, the office director of the Industry and Commerce Association.
The last time Xu Daqian's father was seriously ill, it was Li Hongyan who cured him. Coupled with the generous reward Li Hongyan was willing to offer, Xu Daqian was naturally willing to cooperate with them.
Chen Xuan placed his teacup on the coffee table beside him and said with a smile, "The tea was bought with Young Master Gao's money, so it naturally smells fragrant. It costs tens of thousands per pound. If Young Master Gao hadn't paid, I wouldn't have been able to afford to drink it."
*Pfft!*
This remark was like a stab to the heart of Gao Shao.
These words were tantamount to killing with a single blow.
Gao Shao clenched his fists, his bulging forehead veins twitching violently.
Hearing this, Lu Jian, who had just walked out, felt a momentary dizziness.
What was arrogance? This was arrogance!
But the current situation was clearly not a time for arrogance.
He couldn't help but worry about the future of the Renxin Medical Clinic.
Seeing this, Li Hongyan quickly reprimanded Chen Xuan, "You shameless fellow, not only extorting and blackmailing, but also being so arrogant! I think you are courting death."
"Courting death? Heh heh, I don't think so." Chen Xuan smiled and shook his head.
Li Hongyan narrowed her eyes and stared at Chen Xuan, demanding, "Then let me ask you, did you receive ten million yuan in medical fees from Young Master Gao the day before yesterday?"
As Chen Xuan was about to speak, Lu Jian, hearing the sensitive question, quickly tugged at Chen Xuan's arm, signaling him not to admit it.
"I'm telling you, it's no use if you don't admit it. There are witnesses and evidence!"
Li Hongyan sneered a few times.
"Good boy, you still dare not admit it? Let's see what you have to say now."
Saying that, Gao Shao took out an invoice and slapped it hard on the coffee table in front of Chen Xuan.
He looked up, his eyes almost spitting fire, staring at Chen Xuan intently, "Chen Xuan, if you're a man, don't deny it!"
"Mr. Chen, he's provoking you. Please don't fall into his trap," Lu Jian said anxiously.
"What a coward! I think you're not even a man," Gao Shao deliberately provoked.
Chen Xuan smiled, "What's there to be ashamed of admitting? Yes, this money was on the Renxin Medical Clinic's account."
Upon hearing this, Gao Shao immediately became excited, "Everyone saw it, right? This guy admitted it!"
Seeing Chen Xuan admit it, Li Hongyan was so excited she almost jumped up!
Chen Xuan, Chen Xuan, now that you've admitted it, this matter is settled, and you're doomed!
Lu Jian's eyelids rolled, and he almost fainted.
Mr. Chen, why did you admit it!
The heroes of Xia country can endure humiliation and suffer indignities!
Even if Chen Xuan didn't admit it, Lu Jian wouldn't look down on him. Instead, he would admire Chen Xuan's ability to bend and stretch.
"You're sensible enough to admit it."
Gao Shao snorted coldly, then revealed a sinister smile, "But unfortunately, I've been waiting for your confession!"
After speaking, Gao Shao and Li Hongyan both looked at Xu Daqian beside them, "Director Xu, you've seen the situation clearly, haven't you."
Director Xu Daqian of the Industry and Commerce Association nodded with a grim expression and said sternly to Chen Xuan,
"Since you admit it, it's easy to handle. You'll have to come with us now. Also, your Renxin Medical Clinic will be sealed off for price gouging!"
Before he finished speaking, the Renxin Medical Clinic fell into silence.
Many people were uneasy, their faces ashen.
"Chen Xuan, Chen Xuan, weren't you very arrogant when you were asking for money? Weren't you very smug? If you have the guts, be smug again!"
Gao Shao couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Li Hongyan also felt extremely relieved, her face blooming into a smile.
Chen Xuan said coldly, "On what grounds?"
"On what grounds?"
Xu Daqian showed a hint of disdain, "Including labor, medicinal materials, and various expenses, twenty thousand yuan from Young Master Gao would be more than enough! You actually dared to demand ten million yuan. Isn't this extortion and blackmail?"
Chen Xuan said faintly, "But medicinal materials have a price, and medical skills are priceless!"
"Ask Li Hongyan if she can cure Young Master Gao's illness? Can others cure it?"
This statement was another slap in the face to Li Hongyan, further humiliating her.
Xu Daqian said unequivocally, "Even if he can't cure it, that's no excuse for you to extort and blackmail!"
"Exactly!"
Li Hongyan and Gao Shao echoed, their eyes shooting out malicious glints, wishing they could devour Chen Xuan alive.
"Alright, stop the nonsense and take the person away!"
Xu Daqian said domineeringly.
With a wave of his hand!
Several staff members from the Industry and Commerce Association rushed over and surrounded Chen Xuan.
Their fierce gazes fell upon Chen Xuan as if he were a heinous criminal, not a divine doctor who saved lives.
"Director Xu, I'm begging you. This card contains twenty thousand yuan, consider it a tip for your tea."
Lu Jian pleaded, taking out a bank card and trying to stuff it into Xu Daqian's hand.
"Are you trying to bribe me?"
Xu Daqian narrowed his eyes, the flesh on his face creasing, full of wrinkles.
His gaze was filled with disdain.
Two thousand yuan to bribe him? What a joke! Yesterday, Gao Shao and Li Hongyan had given him a seaside villa worth over a million yuan.
Lu Jian stiffened.
The tone in his words was wrong.
He instinctively shook his head vigorously, "No..."
"Let me tell you, I, Xu Daqian, am upright and never accept bribes!"
With that, Xu Daqian grabbed the bank card in Lu Jian's hand, threw it on the ground, stomped on it fiercely, and shouted, "Let me tell you, if you dare to bribe me again, I'll arrest you too!"
Lu Jian's face turned pale, and his body trembled.
However, he still gritted his teeth, suppressed his fear, and said softly, "Director Xu, my grandfather is Elder Lu. I don't know if you can give Mr. Chen a pass out of respect for him..."
"Elder Lu?"
Xu Daqian's heart stirred.
He had heard of Elder Lu's reputation, but just a name wasn't enough to earn him any favor.
"Then let Elder Lu come in person!"
Leaving these words behind, Xu Daqian ordered his men to take Chen Xuan away.
Lu Jian was struck by lightning, his eyes filled with despair.
His grandfather was far away in the capital, how could he possibly come in person?
"Lu Jian, don't worry. He'll personally send me back later."
Chen Xuan stopped, patting Lu Jian on the shoulder.
Lu Jian was stunned by his words.
"Send you back? Who do you think you are?"
"Kid, you still plan to come back?"
Gao Shao and Li Hongyan were extremely disdainful, scoffing loudly.
Li Hongyan had already planned to not only seal the Renxin Medical Clinic but also ensure Chen Xuan was imprisoned for life, as extorting ten million yuan was not a small sum.
