After a while, the doors of the meeting room were pushed open.

Two middle-aged men in suits dashed out in a panic,

"If you don't issue a letter of apology for the traffic accident, just wait to die!"

After dropping this harsh line, the two hurriedly fled.

"Let's go in and see what's happening!"

Zhao Shuo turned off the voice recording on his phone and walked into the meeting room.

Inside the meeting room, the family members of the victims were still seething with anger. Upon seeing Zhao Shuo and He Ming enter, they almost mistook them for people from Dream Pharmaceutical Group and nearly started a fight.

Zhao Shuo quickly identified himself.

Getting beaten up on behalf of that pair of scumbags would really be too much of a loss!

When the family members learned that Lu Heng was the hero who rushed into the fire to save people that day, they thanked him sincerely.

After all, without this heroic savior, they might now be preparing for their children's funeral.

"Uncle, Aunt, on my way over, I heard that they insist you sign a letter of apology before they'll compensate you?"

Zhao Shuo asked, pretending to be curious.

The family members couldn't help but show anger again and launched into another bout of cursing at Gou Jie and Gou Wei.

"The Gou Family is definitely going to pressure you to issue a letter of apology..."

Zhao Shuo laid out everything he knew.

When the family members heard this, they fell silent.

They thought the words from those lawyers earlier were just threats.

But now it seems it might not be a threat at all, and the other side intends to go through with it.

After all, the Gou Family has indeed done this before!

"Uncle, Aunt, don't worry!"

"With the Internet now so advanced, the Gou Family can't cover everything up like they used to!"

"As long as we keep this issue hot, we won't fear the Gou Family dragging its feet on compensation..."

Liu Rui said encouragingly.

"Exactly!"

"Let's fan the flames further and post the words of those two lawyers online too!"

"Once netizens band together, the power of public opinion can definitely crush the Gou Family father and son."

Zhao Shuo said with a surge of righteousness.

Encouraged by both of them, the family members regained their confidence.

After leaving the hospital, Song Tingting was somewhat silent.

"What's wrong, Tingting?"

Zhao Shuo couldn't help but ask when he saw this.

Song Tingting slightly furrowed her pretty eyebrows and said solemnly, "I feel they might not hold on for long!"

"What do you mean?"

Liu Rui was stunned.

Song Tingting sighed and said, "If we hadn't told them about Gou Jie's previous behavior, they might have held on for a while."

"But telling them now is equivalent to putting additional pressure on the Gou Family father and son!"

"After all, the past is right there, and if they don't issue the apology, the Gou Family will absolutely never compensate first."

"Damn! Did I just do a bad thing with good intentions?"

Zhao Shuo was completely dumbfounded after hearing that.

"So what should we do now?"

Liu Rui seemed a little panicked as well.

"Get the buzz going as quickly as possible!"

"Use the power of public opinion to overwhelm the Gou Family before the victims' families give in."

Lu Heng suddenly spoke up.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Shuo and the others slowly nodded.

Besides this, there really wasn't any other good solution.

At this time, He Ming, who hadn't spoken, suddenly said, "The Gou Family has already started suppressing the buzz!"

"Videos of last night's car accident have all fallen off the trending lists on major platforms."

Meanwhile, Zhao Shuo's phone suddenly rang.

He took out his phone and saw it was an unknown number calling.

After hesitating for two or three seconds, Zhao Shuo still answered the call.

"Hello! Is this Mr. Zhao Shuo?"

"Could you kindly remove the videos from the QuickSound and HandShake platforms?"

"If Mr. Zhao is willing, we will offer you 200,000 as economic compensation..."

Zhao Shuo directly hung up the phone, furrowed his brows, and couldn't help but curse, "Damn! That old dog's response is really fast. They're already using money to suppress the buzz!"

"Once the buzz dies down across the internet, the Gou Family will really be unstoppable!"

"Let's hurry back and upload today's events online."

"Otherwise, we'll let the Gou Family father and son succeed again!"

"We absolutely mustn't..."

Liu Rui stopped halfway through her sentence.

The other three also realized something, their gazes full of apology as they looked at Lu Heng.

According to the original plan, they were supposed to accompany Brother Lu on an outing.

Now, the plan couldn't keep up with the changes.

Seeing this, Lu Heng smiled faintly and said, "It's nothing, you all go ahead. I fully support you!"

"Thank you, Brother Lu!"

Zhao Shuo was very grateful.

For the sake of justice, Zhao Shuo and the other three temporarily parted ways with Lu Heng.

As he watched the four leave, Lu Heng gently shook his head.

To be honest, he wasn't very optimistic about these four.

After all, they were just college students, trying to challenge a giant like Dream Pharmaceutical Group was like reaching for the stars!

But fortunately, there's still him on the side of justice.

"System!"

Lu Heng called up the system interface.

Host: Lu Heng (Taoist Name: Qingfeng)

Age: 18

Status: Normal

Cultivation: Seventh-Layer Qi Refining

Cultivation Technique: "Taiyi Five Qi Spell", "Heaven-Stepping Cloud Step", "Immortal Talisman Technique", "Supreme Profound Alchemy Technique"

Magical Treasure: Illusion Demon Mask

Life Span: 16

After saving Zhao Shuo, He Ming, and the two injured people, his Life Span points had increased by 15 since before descending the mountain.

Wonder how much more it'll increase after dealing with the Gou Family duo?

Hopefully, they'll bring him a considerable increase in Life Span points!

With that in mind, Lu Heng casually hailed a taxi with the destination—South City District Bureau!

...

For certain reasons, Gou Jie had been detained in the South City District Bureau ever since being arrested by the police.

In the middle of the night, Gou Jie lay tossing and turning in bed, unable to sleep.

No phone, no alcohol, no chicks...

Living like this felt like a year to him.

"Damn, why hasn't the old man bailed me out yet?"

"If I stay here any longer, I'm going to go crazy!"

Gou Jie muttered to himself, grumbling.

But just then, he suddenly felt a chill on his spine, his hair standing on end.

He felt like there was a pair of eyes in a corner of the room, staring at him unblinkingly.

"Who's there?"

He quickly sat up, scanning the surroundings.

But everything was the same as before, not a single anomaly.

"Damn it, hallucinating?"

Gou Jie furrowed his brows, cursed, and lay back down on the bed.

But just as his head touched the pillow, that bone-chilling feeling hit him again.

"Who's there pretending to be a ghost?"

Gou Jie leaped up from the bed.

Wide-eyed, he walked around the room, but still found nothing unusual.

"Was it really a hallucination?"

Just as Gou Jie was about to lie back down, he suddenly felt a numb sensation on his scalp.

That feeling of being watched became more and more intense!

"Who the hell are you!"

Gou Jie turned around in a flash, his mouth dropping open involuntarily, letting out a piercing, terror-filled scream...
