Urban Ace Bodyguard

Chapter 1172 - 1241: Big Aunt's Red Spreads Across the Globe

"What? Are you trying to threaten me with your status as the son of the Human King?" The bitter woman gritted her teeth, never expecting Lin Hai to be so persistent.At the same time, a wave of anxiety surged within her.

After all, she knew very well whether Ouyang Xiaoya had really committed the theft.

If uncovered, there would be no place for her in the vast Lin Family.

Thus, she decided that she would rather die than open her mouth. Maybe by playing the role of a woman, she could garner some sympathy and muddy the waters, letting the matter slide into oblivion.

"Hmph, once the waters are muddied, not even Lin Hai with all his abilities will be able to clear Ouyang Xiaoya's name of the theft." The bitter woman pondered her strategy, determined to be unreasonable, and stared at Lin Hai, waiting for his counterattack.

Lin Hai held the pill close to his nose for another sniff, showing a thoughtful look.

Ouyang Xiaoya and the other women watched Lin Hai tensely, as if he had become their mainstay.

Even the Demon Young Master gazed at Lin Hai, wondering how his big brother would handle such a situation.

After a while, Lin Hai displayed a look of relief and turned to the bitter woman, smiling as he spoke.

"You say my fiancée stole your Great Life Extension Soul Revival Pill?"

The bitter woman snorted coldly, secretly disdainful, thinking Lin Hai wasn't as smart as she thought. She expected more difficult questions from him.

"That's right, she stole it. Even if she didn't, it has something to do with the people you brought."

Lin Hai continued to smile as he asked, "Then tell me, how does an ordinary member of the Lin Family possess such a thing as the Great Life Extension Soul Revival Pill?"

"Recently, I learned from Nirvana Pavilion about the Lin Family's rules, and it seems every top-grade pill has its use recorded by specific personnel. Was your pill obtained legally?"

This statement directly steered the issue to a new direction.

Some of the Lin Family members who were watching also felt puzzled. Indeed, such a top-grade pill couldn't have come from an ordinary clan member.

"I… my husband died in battle serving the Lin Family, and my son was severely injured. Can't it be awarded for that?" The bitter woman hesitated for a long time before explaining.

"Oh? What injuries did your son suffer?" Lin Hai asked with a smile.

"My son… My son's dantian was damaged, and the meridians in his arms were broken." The bitter woman adopted a pitiful expression, hoping to elicit sympathy.

Sympathy flashed in Ouyang Xiaoya's eyes; she felt that, no matter what, this was still a pitiful woman.

"Lin Hai, should we let it go?" The CEO couldn't help but speak up.

Lin Hai shook his head and said, "Wife, don't pity her; she's just lying."

"I'm not lying! My husband died fighting for the Lin Family, and my son was injured for the same reason!" The bitter woman became agitated.

Some people nearby thought Lin Hai seemed a bit too cold-hearted.

Inwardly, Lin Shan almost burst out laughing, secretly thinking, "The son of the Human King is nothing special; he doesn't even understand how to manipulate people's hearts. He'll soon taste the consequences of alienating everyone, hehe."

Lin Hai stared at the bitter woman, letting out a cold laugh. "A lie is a lie. Your husband may have truly died for the Lin Family, but the compensation for his death would be in wealth, not pills."

"As for your son, he indeed might be severely injured, but damage to the dantian and broken arm meridians couldn't possibly be from fighting for the Lin Family."

"Normally, if he were attacked for targeting the Lin Family, with such severe injuries, it would indicate the attackers intended to kill. If so, wouldn't your son have been unable to escape despite being injured?"

Lin Hai methodically presented his reasoning.

"Couldn't it be that other family members saved my son?" The bitter woman countered.

Lin Hai smiled and said, "Then tell me, who was so kind as to save your son?"

"It was Young Master Lin Shan!"

"Besides Lin Shan, are there any other witnesses?" Lin Hai asked.

"No more."

Confidently, the bitter woman spoke, thinking Lin Hai's questions were too childish.

"Lin Shan?" Lin Hai rubbed his chin and nodded, then sent a message to the Demon Young Master, "The truth is coming to light."

The Demon Young Master understood why his big brother asked these questions in the first place—it was to uncover the mastermind behind it all.

Hidden in the shadows, Lin Shan felt a sudden "thud" in his heart. He had a feeling that Lin Hai's questions weren't simple, but he couldn't figure out where he went wrong at the moment.

"Let's put aside your son being saved. How did you get the Great Life Extension Soul Revival Pill?"

"As far as I know, the Great Life Extension Soul Revival Pill is to save dying people, but for damaged dantian and broken meridians, the Meridian Condensation Green Frost Pill is even more effective." Lin Hai pressed further.

The bitter woman knew nothing about pills and didn't know how to answer such a technical question.

"Speak up, everyone's waiting for your explanation." Lin Hai gave her no time to think, urging her.

"I… I…" The bitter woman stammered, her mind in chaos. In desperation, she bit her lip and said, "It was Young Master Lin Shan who saw my son was pitiful, so he gave the pill. Maybe Young Master Lin Shan was too anxious at the time and mistakenly gave the wrong pill, but his intentions were good."

Lin Hai nodded, sneered, "Yes, Lin Shan was indeed in a hurry, so much so that he thought of slandering my fiancée."

"You're lying; Young Master Lin Shan is a good person." The bitter woman retorted angrily.

"Whether he's a good person, you're not the judge of that."

"Are you taking advantage of your status as Family Head to claim you're the judge?" The bitter woman retorted again.

Lin Hai looked at the bitter woman with disgust and said coldly, "Stop throwing around the term 'Family Head'; this kind of moral coercion is the most annoying. You put yourself in the position of a weakling, thinking you're justified to slander and frame others because of it?"

"What gives you the right to say I'm framing people?" The bitter woman was so angry she stomped her feet.

Holding up the pill, Lin Hai said, "This isn't a Great Life Extension Soul Revival Pill at all; it's merely a defective product missing a main ingredient."

"Moreover, you haven't even touched this pill. Whether it's the pill or the box, there's not a trace of your presence, only that of two others."

Upon hearing this, Lin Shan, hidden in the shadows, felt a sudden "thud" in his heart.

He never imagined that his carefully laid plan would show signs of failure.

The eyes of Ouyang Xiaoya and the women lit up.

Nobody expected such a dramatic turn of events.

"You don't even know if the pill works, let alone if your son was gravely injured. Why didn't you give it to him immediately? Didn't you claim to deeply love your son?"

"This…" The bitter woman was at a complete loss for words.

"I've encountered Lin Shan before; indeed, there's his presence on it, but that doesn't mean much."

"You should explain the earlier issue now."

Lin Hai's words came like a barrage, questioning the bitter woman relentlessly.

"..."

The bitter woman was utterly speechless.

"I'll give you three more seconds to explain; otherwise, just for the crime of framing my fiancée, I'll beat you until your period goes global!"

Lin Hai's commanding aura burst out, his voice undeniable and domineering.
