What Kind of Reward Is This? Have I Really Become the Ultimate Villain?!

Su City Police Headquarters!

"I want to see my lawyer! Where's my lawyer?!" In the interrogation room, Xiao Fan's expression was incomparably grim. His hands were clenched tightly, and his heart was filled with rage, yet reason told him to stay calm...

But right now!

He could not stop a trace of panic from rising in his heart. He feared that Su Bai, that petty man, would take advantage of his arrest to spread rumors everywhere and smear the Xiao Group.

If that happened, would the Xiao Group's newly rising stock price not be cut in half? Even if he cleared things up afterward, that bad first impression would still be planted in the minds of netizens and shareholders.

When the time came, who knew how much time and effort it would take to turn things around? At that thought, Xiao Fan's fists clenched involuntarily.

Just then, Xiao Zhenzhong arrived in a rush with the lawyer Zhang Wei, his face solemn as he barged straight into the interrogation room...

Xiao Fan, who had been restless and agitated, suddenly looked up and saw his father and the Xiao Group's chief lawyer.

Ignoring his hands being tightly cuffed, he shouted excitedly, "Dad! Lawyer Zhang! You're finally here! Hurry, get me out on bail! I don't want to stay in this damned place for another second!"

"I clearly saved someone, but they arrested me instead. It was all that bitch Su Bai's doing, damn it!" By the end, recalling Su Bai's sinister smile when he had been taken away, he could not stop himself from cursing.

"Whew!"

Seeing that his precious son was safe and sound, Xiao Zhenzhong let out a long breath of relief. He immediately turned to the chief lawyer Zhang Wei beside him. "Quick! Get someone to remove his cuffs!"

However, Zhang Wei looked troubled upon hearing that. Before coming here, he had already learned about the situation. Although he could ensure the young master would be unharmed, Captain Jiang of the vice squad was Su Bai's man. If he insisted on not releasing him, then...

Thinking of this, he could only carefully explain in a gentle voice, "Household Head, that won't be possible. Captain Jiang won't release him. Even if we get him out, we'll have to wait twenty-four hours!"

"Of course, I guarantee that the young master won't be affected in any way, nor will he be charged with anything!" As he spoke, he remembered his livelihood and immediately patted his chest, speaking with utmost confidence.

Even if the young master really was guilty, he was confident he could secure an acquittal.

But when Xiao Zhenzhong heard this, his brows immediately furrowed. Clearly, he was not satisfied either. Twenty-four hours was simply too long.

"Damn it!"

"It must have been that bastard Su Bai who told Captain Jiang to do this. Those two scumbags are in cahoots, deliberately trying to disgust me!"

At that moment, hearing the lawyer's words, Xiao Fan could not help but spit out a curse. Anger surged onto his face, and he wished he could crush that beast Su Bai to death.

Bang!

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Despite his hands being bound by chains, Xiao Fan fiercely slammed the table, producing a thunderous sound. Then his expression turned cold as he looked sharply at Zhang Wei. "Go find someone! Does he think only the Su Household has connections? Does my Xiao Household not have people above us?"

As soon as those words rang out, a trace of shame flashed across Xiao Zhenzhong's face. Over the years, the Xiao Household had declined greatly under his leadership.

In terms of influence, they simply could not compare with the Su Household. After all, the other side was one of Jiangnan's Four Great Households, a behemoth-like existence...

At this moment, Xiao Fan noticed his father's mood as well. He hurriedly reined in the rage he had just lost control of, suppressing his fury toward Su Bai and the Su Household as he let out a long breath.

His five fingers slowly spread in a somewhat twisted manner, his distinct bones exposed. Both hands trembled faintly before he finally forced out a smile and spoke in a calmer tone. "Where is Ling'er? Why didn't she come with you? We can ask Ling'er for help!"

"If the people in Suzhou won't work, can't someone from the Imperial Capital handle a mere Su Household with a word?"

Thinking of this, the suppressed rage in Xiao Fan's heart finally eased somewhat. Getting close to Ling'er had been the most correct thing he had ever done.

If the Xiao Household of the Imperial Capital made a move, what the hell was the Su Household?

Heh heh...

Su Bai, just wait for death!

Unexpectedly, the moment his words fell, Xiao Zhenzhong's expression stiffened. His aged face lowered slightly, filled with shame. Zhang Wei, the lawyer, was also rendered speechless. His lips moved as if he wanted to speak, but he could not utter a single word...

"What is it? Did something happen to Ling'er?!"

Naturally, this did not escape Xiao Fan's notice. His brows knitted tightly, and concern flashed across his face. Leaning forward, he asked urgently.

Right now, he thought something had happened to Ling'er. His heart was filled with panic and anxiety, yet the only answer he received was endless silence.

An odd, heavy atmosphere immediately settled over the interrogation room.

"Say something!"

In the end, Xiao Fan was too anxious to bear it. He slammed both hands onto the table again, chains clattering loudly as he shouted in agitation.

Seeing this, Zhang Wei could only turn his head aside and make himself as inconspicuous as possible. Finally sensing his son's increasingly frantic state, Xiao Zhenzhong could only shake his head and let out an aged sigh. "Sigh!"

"Ling'er... she seems to have learned that you were arrested because of this matter and misunderstood something. In a fit of anger, she has already boarded a flight back to the Imperial Capital!"

Ling'er?

She had left just like that, and she had even returned to the Imperial Capital!

In an instant, Xiao Fan's breathing stopped. His mind seemed to explode, leaving him utterly dazed. His eyes widened as he stood there blankly, completely at a loss...

"Fan'er? Fan'er."

Seeing his son standing there like a fool, Xiao Zhenzhong hurriedly called out anxiously and waved a hand before Xiao Fan's eyes. Little did he know that the resentment and pent-up fury Xiao Fan had suppressed for so long erupted at that moment, the flames of rage burning wildly in his chest...

Was I really so worthless in Ling'er's eyes? Did she have so little trust in me that she could discard me so casually?!

In an instant, Su Bai's slander and Ling'er's abandonment intertwined as wave after wave of pain crashed over him. Xiao Fan only felt his blood surging through his body, his heartbeat pounding like a drum...

Pfft!

Suddenly, something seemed to burst in his chest. He felt a bloody taste rise from his throat. Just as he was about to say something, his vision had already gone blurry. His body went limp, and he lost consciousness, falling backward onto the interrogation table as thin streams of crimson blood slowly flowed from the corner of his mouth.

"Fan'er!"

"Call a doctor! Get a doctor here!"

In an instant, Xiao Zhenzhong shot to his feet at the sight, roaring in terror and worry. Zhang Wei immediately rushed out to call for a doctor, and the entire police station descended into chaos.

Meanwhile, Su Bai had returned to the Su Household and was leisurely preparing to rest when the system notification suddenly rang out, ceaselessly echoing like heavenly music!
