On the other side, Zhao Tienan had his hands in his pockets and was whistling as he returned to the clinic.

He was completely unaware that someone had already started targeting him in the dark. He was in a great mood, feeling like every pore on his body was open.

"Mr. Zhao, what happened to make you so happy?"

At that moment, Cao Lei woke up too and asked with a gentle smile.

"Nothing much. By the way, where's Xin?"

"Hasn't she woken up yet?"

Zhao Tienan laughed and quickly changed the subject.

"She woke up earlier than I did. She's probably in the shower now. Should we go and play a prank on her?"

Cao Lei's eyes curved into crescent moons, clearly up to no good.

"Uh, what do you plan to do?"

Zhao Tienan took a strong supplement pill, a smile playing on his lips.

"Look, this!"

Cao Lei took a realistic plastic spider out of the drawer and said mischievously, "Let's go and scare her. Do you think it'll make her cry?"

"Alright, let's go!"

Zhao Tienan grinned, suddenly finding this prank interesting, thinking it might even make Xie Xin run out of the shower naked, a real eye-opener.

A few minutes later, the two of them walked near the shower stall. Just as Zhao Tienan was about to throw the plastic spider inside, they suddenly heard Xie Xin talking on the phone, accompanied by sobbing.

Something's wrong!

Zhao Tienan's face turned serious, and he motioned to the overly excited Cao Lei to be silent.

Zhao Tienan gestured for her to stay quiet, while he himself strained to listen in.

"Liang Wenlong, you're such a bastard. We're already broken up. Whoever I sleep with is my business, not yours!"

"How can you be so shameless? This is between the two of us. Why bring my parents into it?"

"Delete those photos and videos right now. If you dare send them to my parents or post them online, I'll fight you."

"Please, I'm begging you. I'll get back together with you if that's what you want. I won't sleep with Mr. Zhao anymore. Just please don't..."

As she spoke, Xie Xin broke down into tears.

Zhao Tienan, although unable to hear everything clearly, could piece together what was happening from the bits of the conversation he overheard.

It must be Xie Xin's ex-boyfriend causing trouble again.

When they were dating, Xie Xin must have been photographed in many private moments by Liang Wenlong.

Now that they had broken up, Liang Wenlong was using these photos and videos to blackmail Xie Xin, forcing her to comply with his demands.

"Bastard, can't you ever stop?"

Zhao Tienan gritted his teeth, a surge of anger welling up inside him, and he wished he could rush over right then to take down that scumbag Liang Wenlong.

"Mr. Zhao, where are you going?"

Cao Lei saw Zhao Tienan turning around with a fierce look, fearing that he might do something impulsive, and she immediately grabbed his coat sleeve.

"It's fine. I'm just going to make a call. You stay here and comfort Xin later."

Zhao Tienan forced a gentle smile, then gently pushed Cao Lei aside and walked to a corner. He dialed a number he hadn't contacted in a long time.
