“No problem, leave it to me,” Zhang Peng said.
w.a.n.g Yao paid his lawyer a certain fee annually. He had established a good working relations.h.i.+p with Zhang Peng. After representing w.a.n.g Yao a few times in the past, Zhang Peng found he always made payment promptly. He was very happy to keep w.a.n.g Yao as an important client.
“I want to see a doctor!” Cao Zizhen was panicking in the interview room. His ears were still humming and bleeding. He was also bleeding from his nose. His head was swelling badly.
“What’s wrong with you?” the police officer asked.
“I’m sick. Can’t you see I’m bleeding?” Cao Zizhen shouted.
“Yeah, I can see you are bleeding in your nose. Here you go, put some tissue into your nose,” the police officer said.
The police officer became angry as soon as he heard these people had come to blackmail w.a.n.g Yao. He and w.a.n.g Yao were from the same village, so he subconsciously stood on w.a.n.g Yao’s side. In addition, he had taken his relative to w.a.n.g Yao’s clinic the other day. w.a.n.g Yao cured his relative without charging a lot of fee. Almost all the people in the village wanted to be friendly with w.a.n.g Yao, in case they needed to go to his clinic.
Wait! w.a.n.g Yao suddenly thought about something. He whispered a few words into Pan Jun’s ear. Pan Jun immediately left the police station.
A moment later, w.a.n.g Yao’s parents came to the police station in a hurry once they heard their son had been taken by the policeman.
“Mom, Dad, why do you come here?” w.a.n.g Yao asked. I’m fine.”
“I heard someone died in your clinic. Is it true?” Zhang Xiuying asked.
“Yes, but it was a trap. Someone wants to blackmail me. I’ve contacted my lawyer,” w.a.n.g Yao said.
“I see,” Zhang Xiuying said.
She and w.a.n.g Fenghua were still very worried.
At the end of the day, the final decision rested with the court. The people who had criminal history were detained by the police officers. None of them cared about what happened to the old man’s body, which was still lying in the clinic.
Pan Jun stayed with w.a.n.g Yao while he dealt dealing with the issue.
“What should we do about the old man’s body?” Pan Jun asked. They couldn’t leave the body in the clinic for too long. “How ridiculous!”
“Where is the video footage?” w.a.n.g Yao asked.
“I’ve saved it on the computer. The old man’s blood has been taken,” Pan Jun said.
“Good,” w.a.n.g Yao said.
He asked Pan Jun to do two things for him. One was to extract some of the blood from the old man’s body for testing. The other was to save a copy of the CCTV footage. He didn’t think the whole thing was over.
“What about the body?” Pan Jun asked.
“Send it to the morgue,” w.a.n.g Yao said.
“Not at this time of the day,” Pan Jun said.
After having gone in and out of the police station, it was now evening. The morgue has closed.
No one had the guts to pick up a dead man’s body at night when the Yin energy reached the peak, unless he had no fear of death.
“I’ll arrange it tomorrow,” Pan Jun said.
He worked in the hospital, so he knew people working in the morgue.
“OK,” w.a.n.g Yao said. “Thank you so much for helping me today.”
“It’s not a problem. As your student, it is my obligation to help you,” Pan Jun said.
“Would you like to have dinner together?” w.a.n.g Yao asked.
“No, thanks. I promised my son to have a walk in the park after dinner,” Pan Jun said.
“OK, drive safely,” w.a.n.g Yao said.
“Sure, call me if you need me,” Pan Jun said. “By the way, are you really gonna leave the body here for the whole night? It’s a dead man’s body!”
“Haha, what is there to be scared of? He’s dead,” w.a.n.g Yao said.
“It’s not lucky,” Pan Jun said.
“I’ll be fine,” w.a.n.g Yao said with a smile as he shook his hand.
He thought a dead man deserved basic respect. He was going to leave the old man in peace in his clinic for the night. After all, his son was still under investigation in the police station.
w.a.n.g Yao locked the door and left his clinic. He could see his parents were still worried after he arrived at home.
“Mom, Dad, you don’t need to worry about me. It was just a one-off thing,” w.a.n.g Yao said.
“OK, as long as you are fine,” Zhang Xiuying said.
w.a.n.g Yao didn’t say much, and his parents asked no more questions.
That night, w.a.n.g Yao thought a lot when he was by himself on Nanshan Hill.
The old man’s body was still lying quietly in his clinic. He was only 53 years old. He probably had never enjoyed his life because he had to work hard for his family, especially his son. He probably didn’t expect to end up like he did. The biggest mistake he made in his life was having such a son and failing to educate him properly.
It was his fault as a father who failed to teach his son to respect him. It was too late to regret.
The night pa.s.sed without any issues. The next morning, Pan Jun arrived at the clinic very early, followed by a vehicle from the morgue. The people from the morgue efficiently took away the old man’s body.
Pan Jun asked a favor from a person from the morgue, who arranged a vehicle to remove the body before he started to work. However, some villagers still saw the vehicle. In addition to what had happened the previous day, people started to gossip again in the village. Fortunately, the biggest gossipers had moved to town, so the gossip didn’t affect w.a.n.g Yao and his family too much.
“Dr. w.a.n.g, let us know if there is anything we can help with.” Zheng Weijun and Sun Yunsheng also came along in the morning.
“I will, thank you,” w.a.n.g Yao said.
They didn’t stay for long and only chatted with w.a.n.g Yao for a short while.
w.a.n.g Yao didn’t see any patients in the morning. He had some errands to run.
He soon received a phone call from the police station. The people who had tried to blackmail w.a.n.g Yao would be released in the morning due to lack of evidence. It was not the first time for them to blackmail people. The guys wouldn’t release any information. It seemed they were not afraid of anyone.
“We are finally out of here! Err!” one of them said.
“Boss, what’s wrong with us?” another one asked. “Err!”
They had started burping nonstop since they entered the police station, no matter if they sat down, stood up, or were on the toilet. They kept burping when they were eating, drinking, and sleeping. They couldn’t sleep the whole night, so they all seemed tired and sleepy.
“Do you think that doctor did something to us?” one of the guys asked.
“What? He didn’t touch us at all,” the leader of the group said.
“Meng! Meng!” cried the well-dressed young man, whose name was Cao Zizhen.
“What’s wrong with you?” Meng asked.
“Take me to the hospital! Quickly!” As Cao Zizhen was speaking, he started to bleed again from his nose and ears.
“What the h.e.l.l is going on with you?” Meng asked.
“I don’t know! Be quick! Take me to the hospital! I didn’t say anything to the policemen yesterday!” Cao Zizhen cried.
“Shut up! Fine, I’ll take you to the hospital, but not here,” Meng said “People will talk. What if someone figures us out?”
“What about Uncle Aiguo? He is still lying there,” another guy said.
“Leave him there. This is not over. Let’s go,” Meng said.
After walking a few steps, they saw a person in front of them. The person was looking at them coldly.
“You!” Cao Zizhen shouted.
“Did you guys poison the old man to death?” w.a.n.g Yao asked.
“What? It is you who killed him! You…” Meng said.
“Shut up!” w.a.n.g Yao pointed at Meng, who suddenly couldn’t speak.
It was as if his throat was held by an invisible hand. He wanted to speak but couldn’t. He was desperate and started to scratch himself.
“What’s happening to you?” Cao Zizhen asked. He turned to w.a.n.g Yao. “What did you do to him?”
“You killed your own father! d.a.m.n you,” w.a.n.g Yao said.
He hit out toward Cao Zizhen, whose body shook slightly. Cao Zizhen didn’t feel pain or anything.
“What… What do you really want from us?” Cao Zizhen asked.
These guys had done scamming, blackmailing, kidnapping children, and fraud all over China. All of them were sc.u.mbags who had committed a number of crimes. They had all done bad things, yet they were completely shocked by w.a.n.g Yao, a harmless-looking young man. Maybe it was their destiny to come across w.a.n.g Yao.
w.a.n.g Yao hopped and moved like a gust of wind. The men felt like they were patted by someone and that something had entered their body.
“What did you do to us?” Cao Zizhen asked.
“I think you all should start to repent,” w.a.n.g Yao said as he turned around and left, leaving the men standing there like idiots.
A gust of wind pa.s.sed. Every one of the men suddenly felt cold all over their bodies.
“Boss, what did he do to us?” one of those guys asked.
“d.a.m.n it,” Meng said. “What do you think he could do? Don’t panic.”
“Exactly, what could he do to us? We’ll get him to pay,” another guy said.
They had traveled all over China and encountered various troubles. They had been beaten and stabbed by people. They all survived.
“Let’s go have a drink,” Meng suggested.
“Let’s go,” another guy said.
“Boss, can you please take me to the hospital first?” Cao Zizhen begged.
“Don’t panic, I’ll take you to the hospital after the drink. You won’t die,” Meng said.
“Well…” Cao Zizhen was reluctant to believe him.
“Let’s go. Stop whining. You’ll still need to prove yourself,” Meng said.
