Chapter 398: Chapter 398

The official in the car wasn’t the top leader of Yang City.

But this time, he was at the hospital representing the top leader to handle this public relations crisis.

This meant his every word and action represented not himself, but the Yangcheng Government!

In the eyes of the government, those involved were judged only as right or wrong, good or bad—not by their social status.

If a celebrity broke the law, they would be punished just the same.

His tough, domineering words sent a jolt through the other officials in the car.

They all knew this official had been infuriated by Lin Jiji’s actions.

Even if the investigation later revealed Chenyang was at fault, Lin Jiji wouldn’t be leaving Yang City with the air of a winner.

Of course, if the investigation revealed that Lin Jiji had slandered Chenyang, then he... probably wouldn’t be leaving Yang City anytime soon.

The car windows rolled up, and the three official vehicles drove slowly into the hospital grounds.

Lin Jiji, standing by a tree, glared at the taillights with a look of resentment. Grimacing in pain, he didn’t forget to tell his driver, "Have someone look into who was in that car. Damn it, the way they looked at me just now really pissed me off."

The driver frowned. "They looked like officials from the Yangcheng Government. We can’t afford to offend people like that."

"What’s the big deal? It’s their honor that I’ve graced Yang City with my presence. If I’m in a good mood, I can give them some publicity, and every industry here will get a boost. But if I’m not happy, I’ll just have my fans slander this place, and Yang City will quickly become a stagnant dead end."

"Ahem..." The driver coughed lightly, his expression clearly saying, ’You’ve got to be kidding me.’

Lin Jiji said, displeased, "What? You think I can’t do it?"

"This is a near-first-tier city, after all. You’re famous, sure, but paralyzing a city of this size... that’s..."

"So what if it’s a near-first-tier city? Didn’t you see the commotion here? Just because Chenyang pissed me off, I mobilized my fans all by myself. I’m going to ruin him, make it impossible for the City Hospital to operate, and I even dragged all these big shots over here."

"And you know what? That was me barely even trying. If I went all out, I could paralyze Yang City easily!"

"Lin..."

Just as the driver was about to speak, a young, beautiful woman walked up to them. "As a public figure, it’s rather inappropriate to be saying such things in a place like this, isn’t it?"

Lin Jiji’s first instinct was to curse her out, but when he looked up and caught sight of her, his eyes instantly filled with avarice.

’What a gorgeous woman!’

’Those breasts... they’ve got to be at least a 36D, right?’

’Buxom, with a perfect ass and a tiny waist... tsk, tsk. And in that professional suit, too. She’s an absolute goddess!’

’This beauty... she’s probably one of the finest women in all of Yang City, isn’t she?’

Lin Jiji’s gaze was feverish. After straightening his messy hair, he extended his hand with a sleazy smile. "Hello, beautiful. You were right to call me out just now. As a public figure, it was inappropriate for me to say those things."

"It’s an old habit of mine, one I’ve been trying to break. Since you seem so good at teaching people how to mend their ways, why don’t we exchange contact information? We could... communicate a lot more in private."

Hearing this, a flash of displeasure crossed the woman’s lovely eyes.

She shook her head, turned, and walked straight toward the hospital grounds.

As she walked, she asked the man accompanying her, "Did you get all of that on video?"

"It’s recorded."

"Good. When this is all over, I want you to edit that footage. Regardless of how public opinion swings, the netizens need to see the true face of the great celebrity, Lin Jiji."

"Understood." The man paused. "Sister Ouyang, our colleagues inside say the patient in the ambulance that went in wasn’t able to get timely treatment."

"Why?"

"It seems some of Lin Jiji’s fans who arrived later have blocked the passageway. The doctors inside can’t get out, and they can’t get the patient in."

"Lin Jiji’s fans have gone too far. To protect him, they’re disregarding a human life." The woman’s lovely face filled with anger, and she quickened her pace.
