Chapter 974: Convince

Inside Yi Donglai’s house, Li Huowang recounted everything that had happened to him, insisting it wasn’t just in his head.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

“See, they aren’t hallucinations. They are real. You can touch them!”

With a cup in hand, Yi Donglai surveyed the room. “Where did you meet them?”

“Doctor Yi, I’ve told you before. They’re the Simings from Baiyu Capital! Have you forgotten? I told you they existed! There really is another world.”

Yi Donglai looked around. “Who’s the leader here?”

“I am,” Zhao Shuangdian replied.

Yi Donglai narrowed his eyes. “Do you think it’s amusing to manipulate a mentally ill man? Do you believe that if someone with his condition kills, they won’t face any consequences? Is that why you’re using him to kill people?

“Let me make this clear. According to the law, each one of you would be held responsible. Any crime committed by Li Huowang would fall on you!”

“Wait! They’re not deceiving me!” Li Huowang protested, but Yi Donglai remained unconvinced.

“Li Huowang, my thesis is public. Anyone could use it to impersonate your hallucinations and deceive you. They’re using you!

“You think he’s Qing Wanglai? He’s not! He’s just some fraud calling himself that! Qing Wanglai is just a name—anyone could claim to be him!”

“No! That’s not true! He’s the real Qing Wanglai!” Li Huowang pressed his hands to his temples. He didn’t know how to explain it.

“Why are you having trouble with it? Why do you need to convince him? Just threaten him so he can start treating you.”

Ba Nanxu unsheathed a dagger, driving it into the table before Yi Donglai. Her tattooed finger jabbed toward Li Huowang. “Treat him, or we’ll skin you alive.”

Yi Donglai adjusted his glasses, shaking his head in disbelief.

Ba Nanxu wasn’t bluffing. She picked up the dagger and slammed its hilt into Yi Donglai’s little finger.

“Also, what kind of crime organization would give you so much money without any conditions?”

Yi Donglan couldn’t answer. Regardless, he still had reservations and couldn’t believe them.

Zhao Shuangdian took two steps back and touched her earlobes.

Ba Nanxu broke the silence, her forked tongue flicking at a photo frame. “Doctor Yi, this little girl must mean a lot to you, right?”

Everyone turned and saw Ba Nanxu licking a photo frame. In the photo, they could see Yi Donglai smiling with a young girl holding a balloon. The girl was about eight years old.

“What are you doing?!” Yi Donglai’s voice cracked with panic.

Ba Shengqing took Yi Donglai’s phone and handed it to his sister.

“She’s important to you, isn’t she?” Ba Nanxu smirked. “I doubt it’d take long to find information on her through your phone.”

“Fine! You win!” Yi Donglai’s composure shattered, his face pale. He didn’t know who they were, but he didn’t dare to take any chances. “What do you want me to do?”

Ba Nanxu threw the photo frame to the ground, causing it to shatter into countless pieces. “Treat that damned crazy bastard.”

“Fine! I’ll do it. I’ll do it.”

Ba Nanxu scoffed and looked at everyone else. “Are you guys so free that you could slowly talk it out? You should just be as straightforward as me.”

Li Huowang felt guilty because they were threatening Yi Donglai, but the situation was dire. There was no time to waste. He needed to get treatment now.

“Sorry, Doctor Yi. Once everything is over, I will come and apologize to you formally.”

Li Huowang approached Yi Donglai to receive his treatment.
