Xie Youlan spat, then quickly exited the grand hall.
As soon as she stepped out, she saw a servant about to carry her son down. She said coldly, "Don't carry him, we're leaving!"
After struggling to find several hospitals willing to admit them, she made a phone call to Luo Jinwen.
Upon hearing his wife's tearful account, Luo Jinwen didn't feel anger, only a chill down his spine. He had underestimated the strength of Lan Yuxi and the Nan family.
The Nan family!
Luo Jinwen's mind immediately went to Nan Yao.
It was dinnertime, so only a few tables were occupied in the tea house.
When Luo Jinwen arrived, he familiarized himself with the way and knocked on Nan Yao's office door.
Seeing Luo Jinwen's forehead beaded with sweat, Nan Yao smiled and asked, "What's wrong? Is it very hot outside?"
"Brother Nan, something has happened, you must save me!"
Nan Yao turned down the air conditioning by two degrees. "What happened? Sit down and tell me slowly."
Luo Jinwen wiped the sweat from his forehead. "I don't know how my two sons offended Lan Yuxi. Not only did she knock them unconscious, but she's also preventing hospitals from admitting them. Can you help communicate with her? I'm willing to apologize to her."
Nan Yao sighed with some difficulty. "Jinwen, it's not that I don't want to help you, it's just that I can't talk to her at all."
Luo Jinwen looked at him in astonishment. "How is that possible? You're family, after all."
Nan Yao gave a wry smile. "I'm just an adopted son of the Nan family."
Luo Jinwen sighed softly. "I understand. Do you have her phone number then?"
"I have her number, but I don't think she'll answer. How about..." Nan Yao leaned in and whispered a few words into Luo Jinwen's ear.
After hearing this, Luo Jinwen's cloudy eyes instantly lit up.
In the afternoon, outside the cordon of the Presidential Office Building, Luo Jinwen and Xie Youlan were both kneeling on the ground, with their two sons lying on stretchers beside them.
Just as the guards were about to drive them away, a crowd of reporters rushed over.
Seeing the reporters arrive, Xie Youlan burst into tears. "Prime Minister Nan, please spare us, Madam Nan! The children were foolish. Madam Nan beating them is one thing, but you can't be so cruel as to prevent us from even entering a hospital."
The reporters eagerly recorded the scene.
This was sensational news! It would surely fetch a good price!
However, they wondered if they could even publish anything concerning Prime Minister Nan and Lan Yuxi.
Some reporters who were live-streaming also realized this, but for the sake of viewership, they ultimately decided to take the risk.
"Take them away!" the head of the security guard ordered with a stern face. "And them! Take them away too!"
The security guard captain said this while pointing at the onlookers who were reporters.
These people were becoming more and more brazen. Although this area was not under the jurisdiction of the office building, gathering and slandering the Prime Minister warranted taking everyone away!
"Hold on!" Just as the guards were about to apprehend them, a clear and crisp female voice came from behind the crowd.
Everyone turned to look in the direction of the voice.
Lan Yuxi walked straight to the Luo family of four without diverting her gaze.
"Madam Nan..." The security guard captain tried to tell Lan Yuxi to finish quickly, but Lan Yuxi raised her hand to stop him.
"Xie Youlan, you truly have a silver tongue! Your ability to twist the truth is even worse than ten years ago!" Lan Yuxi said, then kicked the shoulder of the elder Luo son. "Hey! Wake up, I can hear you snoring!"
The elder Luo son's eyelashes trembled, but he didn't dare to open his eyes.
Lan Yuxi sneered and quickly flicked out two golden needles.
"Ouch—"
"Ah—it hurts so much, I'm going to die!"
With their cries of pain, the elder and second Luo sons sprang to their feet as if they were carp.
The second Luo son, filled with indignation, yelled, "Which bastard ambushed me? I'll beat him to death!"
The surrounding reporters exchanged glances; these didn't look like patients at all!
Lan Yuxi sneered. "The 'bastard' is me, and I've jabbed you!"
Only then did the second Luo son notice Lan Yuxi's presence. His expression changed, and he frowned. "Lan Yuxi, are you planning to fight us to the bitter end for that illegitimate child?"
Lan Yuxi scoffed. "Illegitimate child? Who is the illegitimate child, your mother knows best!"
Seeing that the situation was not unfolding as planned, Xie Youlan supported Luo Jinwen and prepared to stand up.
Lan Yuxi flicked out two more golden needles. "You two sinners, get back on your knees!"
With a thud, Luo Jinwen and Xie Youlan, who had not yet stood up, knelt down again.
Lan Yuxi gave them a cold look. "Since you dare to cause trouble outside the office building, let's settle this matter once and for all! Eleven, come down!"
Luo Shi-yi, who was bandaged like a mummy, slowly shuffled over, supported by Jiang Wanni.
Everyone was stunned. Such severe injuries, yet he was bandaged like this.
Lan Yuxi reached out and supported him. She then addressed the reporters present. "Everyone, this is my junior brother, Luo Jingting, Luo Jinwen's biological son! However, his mother was not Xie Youlan, but Luo Jinwen's deceased wife, Ms. Wang Hui. Ms. Wang Hui passed away mysteriously fifteen years ago. Less than a week after her death, Xie Youlan brought her two sons into this house. For the following months, they beat and verbally abused my junior brother. When I found my junior brother, he was barely clinging to life."
As Lan Yuxi spoke, she took out her phone and opened her photo album.
"Here are photos from his rescue. I will send them to you all later."
"You're lying..." Xie Youlan was about to retort when Lan Yuxi sealed her voice with a golden needle.
Luo Jinwen's voice was also sealed, along with hers.
As the two Luo sons were about to rush forward, Lan Yuxi waved her hand, and golden needles flew out. "You two only deserve to kneel and speak to my junior brother!"
The elder and second Luo sons obediently knelt down.
Seeing that they had all calmed down, Lan Yuxi turned to the reporters and continued. "They are used to beating my junior brother. Today, they even pursued him to the Emperor Hotel and attacked him."
Lan Yuxi's eyes reddened slightly, and with a choked voice, she said, "Look, this is what they did to my junior brother. If I hadn't stepped in to pull them apart, my junior brother might have been beaten to death.
"I admit I hit them, but it was necessary to use force to stop them. Moreover, I have been practicing martial arts for many years and know medicine. The places I hit are not fatal. Although it looks scary, they will recover in two days with rest and don't need to go to the hospital. As for why they were rejected by all the hospitals in the capital, you should ask them what good deeds they've done all these years!"
Lan Yuxi took out an inch-thick stack of A4 paper from her backpack. "This records all their actions over the years. I have already submitted it to the police. I believe you will see it soon."
"Next, let's talk about Ms. Wang Hui's death..."
Upon hearing this, Luo Jingting's body trembled slightly. If Jiang Wanni hadn't held him, he would have collapsed to the ground the next second.
