Those present were completely unconvinced. "If oaths worked, there wouldn't be any bad people in the world! You scumbag, we won't believe you!"

"That's right! It would be a miracle if you could believe everything a gambler says!"

"Even at a time like this, you still show no remorse and continue to smear Sun Chen. You are truly despicable!"

"You devil! Sun Chen must have been blind to marry someone like you!"

Seeing that no one believed him, the man knelt down with a thud. "I'm telling the truth! Why won't you believe me? I'm truly innocent! You can investigate if you don't believe me! Just because Sun Chen has powerful backers, you unconditionally believe her? But I don't have anyone behind me, so you don't believe me? What kind of logic is this... I'm so miserable, sob sob sob..."

Su Jing came over with her phone to show Qiao Wanwan the live stream.

Qiao Wanwan was utterly speechless.

She took out her phone and made a call. Less than ten minutes later, the police and lawyers arrived at the scene.

"Hello, I am Ms. Sun Chen's lawyer. Regarding the rumors you just mentioned about her having an extramarital affair, she will sue you for defamation." The lawyer stated matter-of-factly, "To avoid damage to Ms. Sun Chen's reputation, I have already called the police. The officers are here and have brought a lie detector. To clear Ms. Sun Chen's name, please cooperate with the police and undergo questioning using the lie detector. If what you said is true, Ms. Sun Chen is willing to drop the charges against you. But if it is false, your crime will be compounded."

The man panicked for a moment, "Um..."

"What, are you scared?" someone present said. "Weren't you just crying and saying that Sun Chen was having an affair? You're actually afraid to take a lie detector test?"

"You're obviously guilty and scared! You damn gambler, die!"

"Die! Die!"

The man forced a smile and said, "Why should they get to decide everything? Just because they're powerful doesn't mean they can summon the police and lawyers at will! Does power mean it can control everything? Is there no justice left in this world?!"

"Are you implying that the police officers are controlled by our Imperial View Group?" the lawyer said with a forced smile. "Do you know that defaming the police is a more serious crime?"

The man was speechless. "I won't do what you say! Do you really think I'm stupid? Lie detectors are all rigged. If you want to test a lie, have Sun Chen do it and ask her if she's cheated on me!"

The lawyer's face darkened, and he shouted angrily, "I would like Sun Chen to stand up and say something, but thanks to you, hasn't she already become mute?!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the people present became even angrier. They went beyond throwing eggs and rushed up to beat him up!

Two police officers rushed to stop them, but they couldn't hold off more than a dozen people, and the scene became chaotic!

The man, his face bruised and swollen, quickly came up with an idea. He lay on the ground, howling and claiming that he was in pain all over and needed to go to the hospital.

The police had no choice but to call an ambulance for him.

The lawyer calmly addressed those present, "Please don't worry, I will cover his medical expenses. If he dares to sue you, the legal team of Dijin Group will represent you in court."

The live stream screen was immediately flooded with comments.

[The lawyer is so handsome! I want to marry him!]

[They have a DJ Group behind them, so of course they're confident!]

[It's not just others behind us, it's all of us behind DJ Group!]

[Another day of feeling sorry for Sun Chen. Sisters, please keep your eyes open and don't look for a husband in a dump!]

Another day of feeling afraid of marriage...

[...]

The hospital couldn't refuse to treat the injured, and no one bothered the man for the time being. He had tasted the sweetness of success and actually refused to leave the hospital.

The medical staff were speechless, but there was nothing they could do.

His parents couldn't stand it anymore and called to say, "If you're alright, get discharged as soon as possible. What's the point of staying in the hospital?"

"What do you mean I'm staying at the hospital?" The man took a bite of his apple. "I'm in pain and need to have more tests done."

"Do you think we don't know what kind of person you are? Those netizens said that since you're hiding in the hospital, they're going to make us suffer the same fate that you should be facing! Your mother and I can't even leave the house now, all the windows have been smashed, we can't eat or sleep, and you, on the other hand, are hiding in the hospital!"

"If I don't hide, am I supposed to go out and get myself killed?" the man said disdainfully. "If all else fails, you two can go hide at your relatives' house in the countryside."

"You make it sound so easy! Where are our relatives now? They've blocked my number and WeChat, I can't even contact them! You brat, you've really ruined us!"

"What's the use of blaming me now! When I was drowning in debt and asked you for money, you didn't give me a single cent and told me to find a way myself. Didn't I listen to you and find a solution myself? And now you're blaming me?" the man roared. "Tell me, where am I supposed to get such a large sum of money except by selling her! I'm warning you, if you call me again, I'll block you!"

After the man finished cursing, he hung up the phone immediately.

Xu Lai called Qiao Wanwan to complain that he was in the hospital and there was nothing she could do about him.

Qiao Wanwan pondered for a moment and said, "If this matter drags on any longer, it will probably only cause more harm to Sun Chen."

“I think so too,” Xu Lai sighed. “But as it stands, there really isn’t any other way.”

How is Sun Chen doing?

"Her only belief now is to make that beast pay the price he deserves, so she can hold on."

"That's good. Take good care of her, and take good care of yourself too."

"Don't worry, Madam Zhan."

Qiao Wanwan hung up the phone, lost in thought.

"What's wrong?" Zhan Jingting walked into the master bedroom and saw her sitting on the sofa in a daze. He went over and asked, "What happened?"

"It's nothing, it's just that Sun Chen's matter seems to have reached a stalemate."

"Is this getting tricky?"

Qiao Wanwan nodded. "Even if the whole world agrees that he deserves to die, the law requires sufficient evidence."

"Yes." Zhan Jingting patted her hair. "Don't think about these things anymore. The third brother is still waiting for you to give him a bath."

"Then I'll go first."

"Go."

After Qiao Wanwan left the master bedroom, Zhan Jingting took out his phone and made a call. "Take care of Sun Chen's husband. Make him admit his mistakes and kneel down to apologize... Of course, an apology is useless. You handle the rest. Make sure it leaves no trace."

......

The next morning, when the nurses were making their routine rounds, they discovered that the man was missing.

The nurse already disliked him, so she simply disappeared without paying much attention.

At that moment, in a confined space, the man slowly opened his eyes...
