A few minutes later, Song Anran returned.
As soon as she entered the ward, she angrily rebuked the fat doctor, "You still say it wasn't you? The surveillance footage is clear, you were the one who changed the medicine!"
The fat doctor was sweating profusely, his speech faltering. "I... it wasn't... it wasn't me..."
At this moment, Chen Xiao let out a threatening shout, "Tell the truth, was it you or not!"
Chen Xiao's angry roar almost scared the fat doctor into urinating himself. It also caused his last psychological defense to crumble, and he instantly broke down.
He knelt on the ground with a thud: "I admit, I swapped the medicine, but I was forced."
"Director Song, I'll confess and expose him!"
"Vice President Chang forced me to swap the medicine. If I didn't do it, he would expose my crime of drugging female patients..."
Song Anran's eyebrows shot up. She hadn't expected such a bonus. She glared at the fat doctor with disgust, "I'll deal with your matter later!"
Then she fixed her gaze on Chang Jingming, "Chang Jingming, do you have anything else to say!"
Chang Jingming was furious and kicked the fat doctor in the back, cursing loudly, "You useless dog who can't do anything right and messes everything up, you've been played by her!"
"I cut the surveillance footage long ago. I told you not to be afraid, not to be afraid, why are you so useless!"
The fat doctor froze, his expression incredibly complex. "Director Song, you tricked me?"
Song Anran gave a sly smile and said coldly, "You just admitted everything, and everyone here is a witness!"
The fat doctor's face instantly turned ashen, filled with dejection.
"Security! Arrest him!" Song Anran ordered, her voice stern and powerful.
The security guards rushed forward and subdued Chang Jingming and the fat doctor.
Song Anran added, "Call the authorities and hand them over to the government for processing!"
At this moment, Chen Xiao suddenly said, "Wait!"
Amidst the confused gazes of everyone, Chen Xiao walked up to Chang Jingming. "Vice President Chang, we have no past grievances and no recent enmity. Why did you want to harm me?"
Chang Jingming sneered. Although his arms were held by the security guards, his imposing aura did not diminish at all. "Kid, you're not too stupid!"
Chang Jingming said with a sinister smile, "Even though my plan failed today, you've offended Master Long. You're doomed to die!"
"This is just the beginning, we'll play slowly!"
Actually, even if Chang Jingming hadn't said it, Chen Xiao could have guessed who wanted to frame him. However, he was still a little puzzled, "Why are you so arrogant? Don't you know that prison awaits you? What do you have to play with me?"
Chang Jingming snorted proudly, his smile not reaching his eyes. "Prison? You're thinking too much!"
"That old lady isn't dead yet, so why should I go to jail?"
"Let me tell you, I have plenty of friends in the government. With a little maneuvering, I'll be out tomorrow!"
Chen Xiao nodded and said a faint "Oh."
Chang Jingming's smile became even more unbridled, "Kid, you'll soon understand the gap between you and people like us!"
"No matter how capable you are, what's the use? You have no power or influence. I can crush you like an ant!"
*Slap!*
Before he could finish speaking, Chen Xiao swung his arm and slapped him.
Chang Jingming was stunned by the blow, his face burning with pain. He angrily exclaimed in disbelief, "Kid, you dare to hit me?"
Chen Xiao said teasingly, "According to your words, I'm a dead man walking. Shouldn't I get a good beating before I die?"
As he spoke, Chen Xiao slapped him again.
*Slap!*
Chang Jingming saw stars, his face numb and hot. However, he was restrained by the security guards, unable to retaliate or escape. Enraged, he yelled at the guards, "What are you guys doing? Hurry up and arrest him!"
The security guards were also angered by Chang Jingming's arrogant demeanor just now. Now that Chen Xiao was hitting him, they didn't intervene. Not only that, they even mocked him, "Vice President Chang, why are you arguing with someone who's about to die? Just bear with it for a moment."
Chang Jingming had never suffered such humiliation before; he was furious to the point of exploding. "You all wait for me! When I get out, if I don't kill you, I'm not human!"
Chang Jingming's words ignited the wrath of everyone. This time, Chen Xiao didn't even need to act. The security guards charged at him and started punching and kicking.
It was only when Song Anran told them to stop that they did, otherwise Chang Jingming would have been beaten to death today.
Chang Jingming was dragged out like a dead dog. Before leaving, his eyes were still fixed on Chen Xiao, filled with malice and hatred.
The storm had settled, but this feud was clearly not over.
Back in the office, Chen Xiao thanked Song Anran. "Director Song, thank you for earlier."
Song Anran's unconditional trust deeply moved Chen Xiao.
Song Anran said heartily, "Why are you being so polite with me? As I said, you're my person, so I naturally have to cover for you."
Chen Xiao looked at Song Anran's bold and upright demeanor and couldn't help but swallow. *Hmm, this scale! Big and high enough! Truly capable of covering!*
Song Anran didn't notice Chen Xiao's petty thoughts. Instead, she asked with some concern, "Chen Xiao, what's your grudge with Master Long? Do you want me to mediate for you?"
Chen Xiao was slightly stunned. He hadn't expected Song Anran to be able to speak with someone surnamed Long. However, facing Song Anran's kindness, Chen Xiao shook his head. "No need, I can handle it myself."
Song Anran didn't insist. "Alright then, be extra careful. Especially with Chang Jingming, he suffered such a big loss today and won't let it go easily."
Chen Xiao smiled and nodded, "I know what I'm doing."
In fact, Chen Xiao didn't need to worry about Chang Jingming's revenge at all. Because the two slaps he gave Chang Jingming earlier were not just for venting his anger. He had used internal force in those slaps. Within twelve hours, Chang Jingming would die from intracranial hemorrhage. And even the best forensic doctor would not be able to link his death to Chen Xiao's two slaps.
Didn't Chang Jingming say he would be out of prison tomorrow? Unfortunately, he wouldn't live to see tomorrow.
