Urban Ace Bodyguard

Chapter 1173 - 1242: The CEO's New Life-Saving Amulet

"Could it really be a false accusation?""Miss Ouyang is so beautiful; it's obvious she's been wronged."

The onlookers started whispering among themselves, and their previous disbelief and skepticism shifted entirely.

Those people Lin Shan had secretly placed in the crowd were at a loss.

After all, the situation had turned, and none of the wronged women could answer the questions Lin Hai proposed.

"What? Still can't answer?"

The wronged woman felt a burning pain on her face under Lin Hai's sharp gaze.

"You... I..."

She never expected that what she thought was a flawless plan would be so easily seen through by Lin Hai, leaving her speechless.

"The pills are fake. You keep saying they're the Great Life Extension Soul Revival Pills, yet you can't even tell the authenticity. The plan was rather rushed, wasn't it?" Lin Hai sneered.

The wronged woman's face looked even worse.

Seeing the questioning gazes around her, her mind went blank.

"Your plan was almost perfect, but do you know where it went wrong?" Lin Hai pressed.

The wronged woman blurted out instinctively, "Where did it go wrong?"

She truly didn't understand how Lin Hai saw through it all.

Even among the crowd of onlookers, there were experts who didn't notice anything. How did Lin Hai see through it from the moment he appeared?

Everyone instinctively perked up their ears.

Including the CEO and others, all were curious about how Lin Hai figured it out.

"Because what you said was too real, so real that it seemed seamlessly connected."

"In this world, aside from planned events, there's always some coincidence involved."

"Coincidentally, I have always been suspicious of something too absolutely real."

"So, you knelt before the truth."

"Knelt before the truth..."

The wronged woman murmured, suddenly realizing a serious issue: by asking Lin Hai what went wrong, she had inadvertently admitted to intentionally slandering and wrongly accusing others.

"The truth has come to light!"

The Demon Young Master said expressionlessly, word by word, "Someone, exile her from the Lin Family forever, never to have any association with the Lin Family again."

"Ah—"

The wronged woman felt her whole psyche collapse instantly.

Without the protection of the vast Lin Family, she dared not imagine how to face life in the future.

"In consideration of your husband indeed having contributed to the Lin Family in the past, and you having borne children for the Lin Family, the Lin Family will be responsible for your living expenses for the rest of your life, but only your living expenses."

"Family Head, I beg you, spare me, I'm wrong, I'm just a pawn, all of this is..."

Hiding in the shadows, Lin Shan's face changed dramatically upon hearing this, taking out a hidden weapon coated with poison, prepared to kill to silence.

"Shut up!"

The Demon Young Master interrupted the woman's words with a wave of his hand, eyes full of anger, "I will not believe another word from you!"

"Get out of my sight immediately!"

The last "get out" was infused with Gang Qi, the voice resounding to the extreme, making the woman's scalp tingle, her eyes showing despair and terror.

Lin Hai smiled slightly; the Demon Young Master's action was very correct.

If the woman revealed the true mastermind face to face, she might have ended up dead.

Most importantly, some things cannot be dealt with in the open.

"Come, drag this malicious woman out, never to set foot within the Lin Family gates again!"

With a wave of the Demon Young Master's hand, his loyal subordinates immediately surrounded the wronged woman.

In the woman's terrified gaze, they grabbed her arms and hauled her out.

"Family Head, I beg you, spare me, give me a chance..."

Ignoring her cries and pleas, the Demon Young Master instead approached Ouyang Xiaoya, his expression serious and respectful. He bowed deeply, saying, "Sister-in-law Ouyang, I'm sorry that you suffered such an injustice."

"It's okay, misunderstandings can always be resolved."

Ouyang Xiaoya's earlier anger had dissipated with Lin Hai's displayed wit.

Now she felt very happy, pleased, and relieved.

At this moment, Beast Lin seemed to transform in her eyes into "Smart Lin," "Sherlock Lin."

Especially a man, in critical moments, using not only strength but also smart thinking to help a woman, naturally earns her admiration, security, and dependency.

"Sister-in-law, it was the Lin Family's mistake today," said the Demon Young Master once more.

Ouyang Xiaoya quickly waved her hands, "No, no, this was just an individual's doing, not related to the whole Lin Family. Many people were supporting me just now."

These words greatly improved the impression the Lin Family members had of Ouyang Xiaoya.

Some people inwardly admired Ouyang Xiaoya's magnanimity.

Feeling the atmosphere around, the Demon Young Master quickly seized the opportunity and said, "How about this, regardless, sister-in-law suffered at the Lin Family, and since the truth has been revealed, as compensation, I promise here that the Lin Family owes her a favor in the future. If needed, she can come to the Lin Family to repay the favor at any time, for anything."

Lin Hai felt deeply touched at this.

The Demon Young Master had intentionally set the stage just now, all to give this favor.

A favor from a super family in Yanjing is worth millions in gold, or even more.

But, due to Ouyang Xiaoya's magnanimous behavior and real grievance, none of the Lin Family members stood against it.

Even the "rumor spreaders" placed by Lin Shan in the crowd obediently kept quiet and dared not stir anything up.

"Isn't this... not so good?" Ouyang Xiaoya showed a look of difficulty and surprise.

After all, a favor from a super family holds immense value.

To put it frankly, if Xuanyuan Lingfeng dared to cause trouble for Ouyang Xiaoya in the future, she could seek help from the Lin Family, and the entire Lin Family would exert all efforts to resolve the problem due to the promise.

Or, if anyone sought to trouble Ouyang Xiaoya in a business competition later, they would need to consider the Lin Family in Yanjing.

Moreover, if Ouyang Xiaoya encountered trouble anywhere in Huaxia or globally, as long as the favor was unused, all adversaries would need to ponder whether they could contend against the Lin Family in Yanjing.

This essentially is an intangible life-saving trump card and a public talisman that commands respect.

"Oh, dear wife, don't refuse. We Lin Family people are all about loyalty and righteousness. If you refuse, we Lin Family folks would feel very uncomfortable," Lin Hai urged his wife, intentionally emphasizing loyalty and righteousness.

Ouyang Xiaoya again showed difficulty.

Lei Jing blinked her eyes, absolutely one who had weathered many storms in the world. Her skin thickness nearly matched Beast Lin's, and she chimed in, "President Ouyang, just accept it."

"But..."

The Demon Young Master quickly interjected again, "Sister-in-law, it's settled."

In the dark, Lin Shan, seeing everything resolved, felt his eyes burning with jealousy and anger, yet was helpless.

"Lin Hai, Ouyang Xiaoya, we shall see. The future is long!"

Lin Shan mumbled to himself and quietly withdrew.
