The sound boomed like thunder throughout the hall, and coupled with Ye Xiong’s ruthless methods, everyone immediately stopped in their tracks.
“You say you’re a family member of one of the poisoned, then tell me, which of the victims is your relative?” Ye Xiong, holding up Thun Guy, walked over to the guests lying on the ground waiting for rescue and yelled, “Speak up, which one is your relative? If you can’t say, I’ll chop off your hands and feet tonight.”
Thun Guy’s eyes rolled, looking at the poisoned guests and shouted, “My cousin was just here, you must have taken them somewhere, you definitely want to silence them.”
“You won’t shed a tear until you see the coffin.”
Ye Xiong pressed down hard, crushing Thun Guy’s two fingers onto the back of his hand, breaking them outright.
The pain of the five fingers connected to the heart made Thun Guy scream loudly.
“Speak, who sent you to stir up trouble?”
“No one sent me.”
Ye Xiong pressed down forcefully again, snapping his third finger, angrily, “I’ll give you one more chance, if you don’t speak, I’ll break all ten of your fingers one by one, let’s see how long you can last?”
“I’ll talk… I’ll talk, someone gave me a thousand bucks to come here and stir up trouble,” Thun Guy cried out in pain.
“Who was it?”
“I don’t know, he was wearing sunglasses, I couldn’t see his face… Everything I’m saying is true, please, let me go,” Thun Guy screamed in pain, his face streaming with snot and tears.
“Whoever dares to act out, this will be their fate,” Ye Xiong said as he kicked Thun Guy three or four meters away, his gaze as sharp as a ruler, glowering menacingly around the room.
The people around, upon being swept by his gaze, ducked away, none daring to meet his eyes directly.
Ye Xiong’s brutality and ferocity intimidated the entire room.
“As the general manager of the hotel, I’ll make a declaration to everyone, all expenses for the treatment of the poisoned guests will be fully paid by Mingyang International Hotel, including compensation for lost wages and nutrition fees. Do you see? This is clearly someone intentionally sabotaging the reputation of Feiyang International Hotel. We will show no mercy towards these saboteurs, Xiao Song, take action.”
With a command from Ye Xiong, Vermilion Bird’s face filled with a murderous aura as if a Heavenly Divine descended, swiftly leaping towards those trying to flee.
His superb agility, swift and decisive actions, and domineering presence, along with his flat chest, gave Vermilion Bird an unconventional beauty.
In less than a minute, a dozen or so troublemakers who attempted to escape were either left with broken hands or feet, all lying on the ground, sniveling and howling in pain, subdued by Vermilion Bird.
In five minutes, less than five minutes after Ye Xiong’s arrival, the previously chaotic hall became silent and orderly.
At that moment, Du Yuehua, who had been suppressing her excitement, couldn’t hold back anymore and ran to Ye Xiong’s side, her eyes brimming with tears.
“You’re here, that’s just great.”
“Sister Hua, I’m sorry for being late and for your distress,” Ye Xiong said, looking at the five finger marks on her face with a pained expression.
At the entrance of the hotel, Yang Xinyi and Tang Ning witnessed Ye Xiong handle the chaotic hotel scene like a Heavenly Divine descending, getting everything under control within five minutes and their faces showed complex expressions.
Yang Xinyi never expected the carefree, seemingly incompetent Ye Xiong to have such capability.
At this moment, he seemed like the main character, like a god, with no one daring to oppose him.
What kind of person is he, and how come he has such great ability?
“Wow, my cousin-in-law is so cool!” Tang Ning shouted excitedly, pulling Yang Xinyi’s hand, “Turns out the cousin-in-law isn’t just some sleazy man who ogles others’ chests, he’s quite capable.”
“Don’t talk nonsense,” Yang Xinyi scolded.
Then, her gaze fell on Ye Xiong, and seeing the tenderness with which he spoke to Du Yuehua made her heart inexplicably clench.
“Cousin, I told you the cousin-in-law was cheating on you, and you wouldn’t believe it. Now you see? Look at the two of them, even an idiot could tell their relationship isn’t simple. And the guy who just slapped Du Yuehua, he’s probably not dead, but he’s crippled,” Tang Ning continued.
“Enough, stop talking,” Yang Xinyi’s expression darkened.
After giving Du Yuehua a reassuring look, Ye Xiong didn’t have time to attend to her and strode into the midst of the poisoned crowd, asking Wang Tong, “How is the situation?”
“There are a total of thirty-eight poisoning cases; twenty-eight are mild, but a few are quite severe,” Wang Tong said urgently.
“How long before the ambulance arrives?”
“It’s estimated to be another ten minutes.”
Ye Xiong made his way to the several most severely poisoned victims, carefully checking their pulses and eyes.
“Did you induce vomiting?” Ye Xiong asked.
“No,” Wang Tong replied somewhat embarrassed. “The hotel staff don’t really know about these things and didn’t dare to try.”
“Get some basins ready, and I’ll help them induce vomiting.”
After helping several of the more severely poisoned patients to vomit and ensuring they were not in mortal danger, Ye Xiong finally breathed a sigh of relief. The ambulances that followed transported all those poisoned to the hospital for treatment.
In the afternoon, at the security center control room of the hotel.
Luo Weiwei stood by the surveillance room door, repeatedly pulling up the hotel lobby’s camera footage.
After receiving the alarm, she had come to the hotel and watched the videos over and over, trying to pinpoint who brought poison into the hotel. Unfortunately, after multiple viewings, there were still no leads. There were too many people entering, and she could hardly spot any suspicious points.
“Officer Luo, have you locked onto a target?” Ye Xiong and Vermilion Bird walked in with a stern and severe demeanor.
This morning at the hospital, he had examined each poisoning victim until their condition had completely stabilized before daring to come here.
Luo Weiwei rarely saw such a solemn expression on Ye Nan’s face; at this moment, his entire presence exuded an authoritative aura that made him seem highly unapproachable, a world apart from his usual carefree demeanor.
Is this guy a chameleon?
Luo Weiwei rolled her eyes at him before saying, “I have reviewed the footage of all personnel entering the hotel but haven’t yet found anything. This footage is from the hotel’s lobby. The kitchen staff said the back door was not opened, so no one could have entered from there. However, all these people entering look very normal, making it impossible to lock down the suspect.”
“Show me the footage,” Ye Xiong ordered.
Luo Weiwei opened the video, feeling a surge of doubt in her heart.
She had watched for an entire morning without spotting anything; could this guy really see something she hadn’t?
“Hurry it up,” said Ye Xiong.
The operator sped up the video by double.
“Faster… keep it going.”
Looking at the dizzyingly fast footage on the screen, Luo Weiwei was rendered speechless.
It’s so fast, can he even see anything? Isn’t there a limit to showing off?
Even Vermilion Bird, who had been silent next to them, couldn’t help but twitch at the corner of his mouth. Although he knew Ye Xiong was no ordinary person, a video well beyond the speed of human vision was simply impossible to discern clearly.
Little did they know, Ye Xiong himself could hardly believe it at this moment.
The footage, which had been moving rapidly, slowly began to decelerate under his gaze as though playing in slow motion.
If someone saw it at this moment, they would undoubtedly notice his eyes, which were filled with blood, as if they were bleeding, resembling eyes stained with blood.
How could this be? Even Ye Xiong didn’t know how he suddenly acquired such a heaven-defying ability.
Suddenly, his vision went dark, and his eyes began to sting intensely.
