Cheng Xiaofan took out his phone and saw that it was Li Mingxi calling him.
Li Mingxi had been living in the hotel on Huxin Island. Ever since Long Xingyun and Jiang Xueyan returned north, she had basically taken over the management of the island.
Cheng Xiaofan pressed the answer button and chuckled, "Li Mingxi, is there something you need me for?"
On the other end of the phone, Li Mingxi's voice sounded somewhat anxious.
"Master, something bad has happened!"
Cheng Xiaofan asked, "What happened?"
Li Mingxi said, "A female guest at the hotel after dinner,"
"Was preparing to go for a walk around the lake with her husband,"
"But as soon as she stepped out, she fell and became completely paralyzed."
"Li Mingxi, don't worry, I'll be right there to take a look!"
After hanging up, Cheng Xiaofan said to Bai Yiling, "Yiling, something has happened at the Huxin Island hotel, I need to go and check it out."
Bai Yiling had also heard Cheng Xiaofan's conversation with Li Mingxi.
She said, "Xiaofan, you go ahead,"
"I'll be responsible for the reception here!"
Cheng Xiaofan immediately got on his motorcycle and headed towards Nanshan Lake.
Upon arriving near Nanshan Lake, Cheng Xiaofan heard an extremely arrogant male voice from Huxin Island from a distance.
"My girlfriend must have eaten something dirty at your hotel,"
"Otherwise, how could she, with such a good body, suddenly become paralyzed?"
"Today, no matter who you call, you must compensate me!"
Hearing this, Cheng Xiaofan couldn't help but frown.
Under normal circumstances, if a girlfriend suddenly became paralyzed,
The first thing a boyfriend would think of would be treatment.
But this man was only clamoring about compensation.
This was interesting!
Was he trying to extort them here?
Cheng Xiaofan arrived at Huxin Island and parked his motorcycle.
He saw a crowd of onlookers gathered at the entrance of the hotel.
Amidst the crowd, the man continued to clamor, "Where is the master you called?"
"Why hasn't he arrived yet? Is he scared and hiding because he knows something happened here?"
"Kid, shut your mouth!"
A young woman's voice suddenly rang out, "How dare you insult my master? Believe it or not, I'll throw you into the lake!"
Cheng Xiaofan recognized the voice as Zheng Yixin, the leader of the Water Fox trio.
Among the Water Fox trio, Zheng Yixin, along with Shui Bingqian and Le Dandan, had a particularly volatile temper. She would do what she said.
He then heard the man shouting, "What? My girlfriend ate something dirty at your hotel and became paralyzed."
"And I'm not allowed to speak?"
"Isn't it said that our Zhuxi Village is a famous civilized village?"
"Why are you acting like bandits? You want to silence me for saying a few words?"
"Come on, everyone is watching. If you have the guts, throw me into the lake?"
"I'll just say it, your master is scared and hiding,"
"So what?"
"Please, sir, watch your words,"
At this moment, Li Mingxi spoke indignantly, "My master has always been upright and honorable, nothing like what you're saying!"
"Let me tell you, my master just returned from an expedition to Danwan Country today."
"He is a famous divine doctor. Whether your girlfriend ate something dirty or not, he will find out immediately once he shows up."
But the man shouted, "Li, don't be so confident. Do you really think your master is a living god?"
"Anyway, my girlfriend is paralyzed on the ground and can't get up. You must compensate me!"
Cheng Xiaofan stood with his hands behind his back, listening for a while, then pushed through the crowd and said, "Everyone, make way, let me in to see!"
"Master, you're here!"
Li Mingxi and the three members of the Water Fox trio immediately spotted Cheng Xiaofan and rushed forward in unison.
Cheng Xiaofan nodded at them, then shifted his gaze,
Falling on the young woman who was paralyzed on the ground.
The young woman was dressed provocatively, with a very seductive appearance.
Especially her lipstick-smeared lips, which looked as if she had drunk human blood.
As soon as the young woman saw Cheng Xiaofan's gaze on her,
She immediately frowned and groaned,
"Ah, I'm in so much pain, I feel like I'm dying!"
Cheng Xiaofan glanced at her and couldn't help but let out a snort and a cold laugh.
How interesting, he thought, to find someone trying to extort, and to Zhuxi Village of all places.
Seeing the smile on Cheng Xiaofan's face,
The man's eyes widened, and he roared at the top of his lungs,
"Cheng, do you have any humanity?"
"My girlfriend is paralyzed at your hotel entrance,"
"And you're still in the mood to laugh?"
Cheng Xiaofan said, "Kid, your name is Chang Lei, right?"
"If I'm not mistaken, your girlfriend's name is Qu Meilin?"
Chang Lei's eyes widened again.
He asked, "How do you know that?"
Cheng Xiaofan replied, "I saw it from your aura."
Chang Lei wasn't completely slow-witted and immediately let out a cold laugh.
He said, "Cheng, don't try this with me!"
"This hotel is yours, and we had to register with our IDs to stay here."
"It must be that a hotel staff member sold our information to you!"
Cheng Xiaofan smiled faintly and said, "Before you came to Zhuxi Village,"
"You and Qu Meilin staged a similar act in Yuncheng,"
"And extorted two million from a hotel called Xilailai."
"Did a hotel staff member tell me that too?"
"You..."
Chang Lei trembled all over, looking at Cheng Xiaofan with disbelief.
He wondered how this person knew about it.
It's over!
This person isn't easy to handle!
His eyes darted around,
And he roared with a bluster that belied his fear, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"I don't understand what you're saying!"
"Let me tell you, my girlfriend ate something dirty at your hotel,"
"Which caused her paralysis, and you must compensate me financially!"
Chang Lei dared to speak to Cheng Xiaofan in this tone because he believed that Cheng Xiaofan would not be able to find the cause of Qu Meilin's paralysis.
This was a new drug he had purchased from abroad through extremely secret channels.
This drug, once taken, would immediately cause fake paralysis throughout the body, making the person unable to move, yet causing no harm to their body.
For such fake paralysis, even if sent to a hospital,
No matter what kind of doctor was consulted or what the most advanced medical equipment was used,
The specific cause could not be detected.
Before this, Chang Lei had heard various legends about Cheng Xiaofan.
The reason he dared to come to Zhuxi Village to extort was because he possessed this drug that could induce fake paralysis.
"How much do you intend to have the hotel compensate you?"
Cheng Xiaofan asked with a playful smile.
Chang Lei thought Cheng Xiaofan had backed down and shouted, "You must compensate me at least one hundred million,"
"No, I want two hundred million, yes, two hundred million!"
