The moment Huo Changfeng’s assistant finished his sentence, he turned to open the car door and bent over to get in before Xiang Nan and Xiang Yang could even formulate a response.
He was not worried that Xiang Nan and Xiang Yang were only pretending to agree to do this to get away with it.
After he got into the car, the other men dressed in black also got in. All seven cars swiftly drove off.
Only Xiang Nan and Xiang Yang remained sprawled on the ground.
After a long time, Xiang Nan raised his head and looked at Xiang Yang. He said hoarsely, “Yang, why don’t you make a run for it?”
If he was charged with intentional homicide, he would have to do jail time.
Xiang Yang smiled sadly as he shook his head. “Don’t you get it? They were completely unafraid that we might escape because there is no hope of running.”
These were no ordinary folks that they had offended.
He saw them armed with guns when they had brought him over.
Xiang Nan swayed. He was overwhelmed with regret. “It was all my fault. If I did not complain about Lucky, you wouldn’t have done this…”
Xiang Nan had not liked Huo Xiang for a long time. When he noticed his little brother getting along so well with Huo Xiang, he felt a little annoyed and kept complaining about Huo Xiang to his little brother.
His complaining was the cause of all this trouble.
It had ruined him and his little brother.
Sadly, it was too late to regret.

An hour later, Xiang Nan voluntarily explained on social media that he was responsible for paying off someone to smear Lucky online by saying he got into an accident from driving when he was high on drugs. In reality, nothing of the sort happened and he purely cooked it up out of jealousy.
He also provided screenshots of him paying off someone to do it. After coming clean, he apologized deeply before announcing his decision to leave the entertainment industry.
Since Huo Xiang had a lot of fans, everyone went into a furor when they saw the post.
When the public learned that Xiang Nan had pounced on the opportunity to smear Huo Xiang when he got into a traffic accident, they felt it went far beyond pure jealousy to do something like this. Instead, it was a question of morality.
In just 20 minutes, Xiang Nan lost over 300 000 fans on social media as everyone cursed him online.
After Xiang Nan posted the apology on social media, he logged out of his account. He knew that people were probably cursing him out there, but he did not have time to deal with it.
Jin Xuyuan immediately called Xiang Nan when he saw his post online. “Are you insane? Why did you suddenly post something like that?”
He had made arrangements to promote Huo Xiang’s scandal online. Now that it had already succeeded in affecting Huo Xiang’s image, he did not expect Xiang Nan to suddenly post an announcement and admit to his participation in the smear campaign.
This meant all their effort would go to waste.
Xiang Nan knew his talent agent would definitely call and question him about the post. He glanced at the police station entrance and said calmly, “Xuyuan, I am so sorry for throwing away my career. Tomorrow, I will swing by the company and terminate my contract.”
Jin Xuyuan narrowed his eyes. He knew Xiang Nan well. He was not the type to give up. He paused before he quickly asked. “Xiang Nan, did something happen?”
Xiang Nan lowered his eyes and went quiet for a few seconds before he said, “Lucky has an extraordinary background, so you should do your best not to offend him. I have something to handle. I have to go.”
The moment he finished his sentence, he hung up and turned off his phone altogether.
