With a sigh, Ling Zhenfei stepped out of the hospital again. What was all this about? How did he end up being targeted without reason?

Ling Zhenfei couldn't figure it out. At first, he thought it was just Du Zhongming's family wanting some money, but now it seemed not so simple.

Ling Zhenfei felt like he had fallen into a trap, a very deep one. But who was it that set this trap for him?

Ling Zhenfei thought about it but couldn't understand. Recently, he hadn't knowingly offended anyone. He recalled that person from earlier, who used a ninja's smoke bomb to escape.

Could it be someone from the Island Nation? Watanabe Kazushi and Kai Masao all had some grievances with Ling Zhenfei.

Could it be them coming to the country to take revenge on him? Ling Zhenfei couldn't figure it out; such a meticulous plan—could those islanders think this through?

As Ling Zhenfei pondered, he walked out of the hospital, still thinking about the planning of this incident.

Thinking of the Island Nation's Bin Qi Wu, Ling Zhenfei thought of many people, including Watanabe Hideaki, Hoshino Meigetsu, and of course, Hoshino Junka.

Hoshino Junka was supposed to be with him, but due to Hoshino Yuji's recovery, she was with family. Considering it wasn't even the end of the first lunar month yet, she shouldn't come so soon.

The planning behind this incident wasn't very rigorous. If it were more meticulous, Ling Zhenfei wouldn't have discovered that person earlier.

This indicates the planner acted on impulse, trying to erase all the information Ling Zhenfei could get.

But the rushed time led to Ling Zhenfei, who also sought those things, discovering and colliding with them.

If he hadn't run into this person, Ling Zhenfei wouldn't have realized he had already fallen into the trap.

Ling Zhenfei felt somewhat helpless; the night's fruitless efforts were very passive, causing many to misunderstand.

After a night of fermenting, who knew how this event might change?

Ling Zhenfei was extremely anxious, thinking of what to do. However, with no solution, he just headed back, checking Weibo on his phone along the way.

It was clear that a group was stirring things up online, saying all sorts of things, including that Ling Zhenfei and Lingxiu lacked medical ethics.

If they had medical ethics, they wouldn't have left the patient unattended.

Some said the relationship between Ling Zhenfei and He Lingxiu was unusual, implying He Lingxiu used her body to rise.

Others speculated that Ling Zhenfei was self-promoting to boost his fame for picking up girls.

They said all sorts of things, endlessly blacking out, reaching even the heavens.

A new piece of news: Du Zhongming's family had officially filed a lawsuit, accusing Ling Zhenfei and He Lingxiu's group of using harmful substances to recklessly endanger lives.

Ling Zhenfei was furious after reading it. There truly were all sorts of people in this world. He originally planned to live a good life, but it seemed they wouldn't allow it.

Ling Zhenfei immediately called Guo Shan, instructing him to ensure the preservation of Tangcheng Hospital's records during Du Zhongming's examination.

No matter how people blackened Ling Zhenfei or He Lingxiu online, the situation when He Lingxiu treated the illness was undoubtedly good; this couldn't be denied.

As for the other things mentioned, those were beyond Ling Zhenfei's control. Rumors only stop with the wise, but how many wise ones online weren't within Ling Zhenfei's control.

Guo Shan promised Ling Zhenfei, saying, "Rest assured; we have already made copies of the data and posted it on our Weibo. It can't be altered anymore."

Ling Zhenfei was very pleased; after a whole night, this was the only piece of good news. Uploading the photo online was indeed wise—it couldn't be tampered with by others at least.

Once he reached the hotel, Ling Zhenfei first went to He Lingxiu's room, but strangely, she wasn't there.

Ling Zhenfei was surprised because he had told He Lingxiu before leaving not to use her phone or watch TV, to wait for him quietly.

But now, where had He Lingxiu gone? Ling Zhenfei checked his room but didn't find her, nor in the hotel lobby.

Ling Zhenfei felt a bit worried; could something have happened to He Lingxiu? But seeing how tidy the room was, it seemed unlikely.

Ling Zhenfei immediately used his Divine Sense to cover the entire hotel and finally found He Lingxiu, which also greatly shocked him.

He Lingxiu was standing on the hotel rooftop, teetering dangerously close to the edge.

Ling Zhenfei was anxious—no doubt about it—He Lingxiu felt mentally troubled. But seeing the online comments, it was understandable why some people were overwhelmed.

Especially a kind girl like He Lingxiu couldn't fathom why, after all her efforts, things would turn out this way.

Thinking of this, Ling Zhenfei hurried upstairs, praying that He Lingxiu wouldn't do anything foolish. If something happened, how could he face He Laogen and the village?

But the hotel had too many floors; it would take quite a while to climb. Who knew what might happen to He Lingxiu during this time?

Realizing this, Ling Zhenfei broke through a window to get outside the building. With Northern Spiritual Energy solidified beneath his feet, he dashed for the rooftop.

But while in mid-air, he saw He Lingxiu already jumping down from above.

Ling Zhenfei was startled; he never expected He Lingxiu to be so fragile, to commit suicide from such a minor setback.

Fortunately, Ling Zhenfei anticipated this possibility and prepared ahead, or else, if he was still inside, He Lingxiu would have been doomed.

If He Lingxiu had died, the internet would have exploded again—whether she died from guilt or online abuse would cause another uproar.

Thankfully, Ling Zhenfei was there. Seeing He Lingxiu jump, he immediately stretched out to catch her.

He Lingxiu was wearing only thin pajamas, her skin cold from the wind's assault.

Ling Zhenfei held her tightly, saying, "Ling Xiu, why are you so foolish to do such a thing."

But He Lingxiu didn't respond. Ling Zhenfei looked over to see her eyes tightly shut, lips pressed together as if she were sleeping.

Ling Zhenfei was shocked, quickly flying back inside the building with her, directly to He Linxiu's room.

Placing her on the bed, Ling Zhenfei checked her pulse with his right hand and found He Lingxiu's mind in disarray, which shocked him. Could the online backlash have disturbed He Lingxiu's mental state?

But it didn't seem like it. He Lingxiu didn't appear to be unusually disturbed.
