Chapter 263 Traitor!
"No way!"
Three women shook their heads simultaneously, they certainly did not want to marry a pig.
"Why?" Li Tamad was taken aback and said, "Didn't you see the Divine Might I just displayed?"
"We saw, but you're too ugly," Che Xiaoxiao said bluntly, the words piercing Li Tamad's heart like a sword.
"Watch your words. His Majesty is the rightful Emperor, and it's an honor for you to be favored by him. Don't be ungrateful," Hao Jian scolded.
"Hao Jian, you bastard, whose side are you on?" Che Xiaoxiao stomped her feet in anger. Had this scoundrel lost his mind?
"Me? I stand with His Majesty, of course!" Hao Jian declared resolutely, standing beside Li Tamad. For that extra five centimeters, he had to betray his friends for glory.
"Bastard!"
The three women cursed in unison.
Just then, two burly men brought up Chen Huojian, his face swollen and bruised: "Your Majesty, this man sneaked into your room trying to open your safe to steal money."
Li Tamad's expression changed dramatically: "Oh really, you're coveting my wealth, trying to distract me and then take the chance to steal money! You're not really interested in joining my imperial court!"
"Everyone, some are trying to trample on the dignity of Great Qin and obstruct the grand cause of Great Qin. What do you think should be done?" Li Tamad looked at the crowd.
"Kill them! Kill them!"
The followers below had lost their minds and started screaming frantically.
"Tie them up for me!" Li Tamad also roared.
And so, Guo Shuxian was tied up.
"Your Majesty, I genuinely submit to you, I've turned from darkness to light. Please give me a chance," Hao Jian said.
"Really?" Li Tamad scrutinized Hao Jian.
"Of course, I've been so impressed by your Divine Might that I plan to devote myself to the Emperor's court," Hao Jian quickly nodded. Discover exclusive content at My Virtual Library Empire
"Alright, you don't have to be tied up," Li Tamad nodded.
"Traitor!" Che Xiaoxiao cursed.
"Kill these troublemakers!" The followers below, clearly very excited, picked up stones from the ground and threw them at Che Xiaoxiao and the others.
"You dare to throw at me? I've memorized your face, just wait till I slaughter you later!" Che Xiaoxiao roared.@@novelbin@@
"I am very angry! The consequences will be severe!" Li Tamad yelled angrily, and suddenly, the factory was filled with flashes of lightning and thunder, just like a sci-fi movie.
"His Majesty is enraged!" All the followers knelt down, shouting long live our Emperor, obviously stunned by the scene.
"A bunch of fools, I just added some light and sound effects, and you were all fooled like this, stupider than pigs!" Li Tamad sneered inwardly.
"Click."
Suddenly, the sound stopped abruptly.
"Huh?" Li Tamad was bewildered, wondering why the sound had stopped. Was the sound technician messing up?
The followers also looked puzzled.
"Hello? Hello hello. Can you hear me?" On the other end, a man's voice came through.
"It's Hao Jian!" Che Xiaoxiao exclaimed suddenly. That was unmistakably Hao Jian's voice.
Then Li Tamad's face turned green, a bad premonition arising.
Those believers looked around and also started to doubt.
"You call yourselves fools, actually believing he could summon the wind and rain? It's just goddamn sound and lighting effects, look how he fooled you." Hao Jian sneered into the microphone backstage.
"You wanted to see a grand human transformation, right? I'll show it to you."
Then Hao Jian pressed a button, the lights changed, and a projection of a graceful beauty appeared right in front of Che Xiaoxiao.
The believers suddenly froze; wasn't this the beauty that had been conjured before? Was this also fake?
After that, as if they understood something, their faces gradually showed embarrassment and anger, and they stared fiercely at him: "Fraud!"
"Fraud! Return my money!"
"Fraud, you dared to deceive me into bed? I'll fight you to the end!"
Realizing they had been tricked, all the believers rushed toward the stage.
"Listen to me, it's not what you think," he pleaded, his fat face completely pale with fright.
But before he could finish speaking, he was kicked down, followed by a beating from the crowd.
Guo Shuxian let out a long sigh of relief: "That scared me; I thought that guy had really turned against us."
"Dare he? I'd skin him alive!" Che Xiaoxiao huffed.
Before she could finish, they saw Hao Jian wielding a stool and charging at him, cursing loudly, "Damn it, dare to play with my feelings? If it weren't for my urgency to find a restroom and accidentally entering backstage, would you have not tricked me? Take this death!"
"Well, he's just a scoundrel." Che Xiaoxiao couldn't help but cry and laugh.
By the time the police car arrived, he had been beaten half to death; had the police not intervened in time, he might have been killed by the mob.
Guo Shuxian was also taken back to the police station for assistance with the investigation and didn't come out until late at night.
Chen Huojian was there with them; the police told him that he would soon get his stolen money back, but Chen Huojian wasn't very pleased about it.
"Why that look, hasn't the money come back?" Zhao Yating asked, puzzled.
"The money has come back, but the problem is his daughter's medical treatment has already been delayed; what's the point of having the money now?" Che Xiaoxiao, knowing Chen Huojian's pain, also sighed.
Without mentioning it, Chen Huojian might have been better off, but upon mentioning it, he started crying right away.
"A grown man always crying, what use are you?" Hao Jian scolded impatiently.
"Hao Jian, aren't you a doctor? Why don't you check up on Chen Huojian?" Che Xiaoxiao suggested.
"Yeah, Teacher Hao, with your brilliant medical skills, these little ailments shouldn't be too hard for you, right?" Zhao Yating also looked at Hao Jian with hopeful eyes.
Upon hearing this, Chen Huojian turned to Hao Jian, his eyes pleading.
"Give me the address of the hospital where your daughter is staying, I'll go there tomorrow," Hao Jian said coldly.
"Thank you. Really, thank you so much," Chen Huojian said, bowing repeatedly in excitement.
"Don't thank me, I'm not helping you, I'm helping that poor child." After taking the address, Hao Jian walked away without another word to Chen Huojian.
Leaving Chen Huojian standing there in awkwardness.
"Don't blame him, that's just how he is, cold on the outside but warm on the inside," Zhao Yating explained.
"Hao Jian is cold on the outside but warm on the inside?" Che Xiaoxiao mused quietly with her head lowered; was that guy really cold? Or just shameless?
"How could I possibly blame him? I'm already so grateful that he agreed to treat my daughter; how could I hold a grudge?"
Chen Huojian bitterly shook his head, understanding why Hao Jian was so angry; anger meant he cared, he was concerned — if one didn't care, why would they bother to meddle at all?
