Chapter 507 Thinking About It, It Makes Sense
He looked at Su Yehao and continued to ask, "Then may I ask, what exactly is your relationship with Wu Weixiong?"
"What relationship? There's no relationship at all. He's the child of my dad's friend's family, who came to Hong Kong for medical treatment, and I'm just helping to receive him." Su Yehao had nothing to hide, and his tone was calm.
Officer Jia continued to ask, "If there's no relationship, why would he say he wanted you to bail him out?"
"..."
"Who knows? Maybe he's just a drowning man trying to grab at straws."
Although he found it a bit funny that Wu Weixiong was scammed out of two million for a pig's heart, considering the guy could drop dead at any moment, it was actually quite tragic. However, recklessly taking risks like that was just wrong.
Su Yehao took a deep breath and then said:
"First, I don't know him. Yesterday was the first time I met him. Second, I wouldn't risk anything for him. Trading hearts is a serious crime, and I think you know that better than I do. Third, this whole thing has nothing to do with my family's hospital. I only promised him that I would ask a heart specialist to give him a check-up. Maybe that guy thought that if he brought a heart with him, he'd have a chance to get a transplant."
Grandpa Tang hadn't left yet, and at this moment he also said:
"Yes, even if you want to earn credit, you can't smear my grandson for no reason, right? You can suspect him, but if any unfounded rumors spread, I'll complain to your superiors. Buying a pig's heart? That's underestimating my grandson too much. If he really wanted to help, he could donate a few million dollars to those medical research institutions in the United States, and they could quickly arrange a heart transplant for that someone in a compliant manner. There's no need to take risks at all."
Su Yehao was a little surprised. He hadn't been exposed to this kind of thing before, and was surprised that such an operation was possible.
Thinking about it, it made sense.
The Earl Medical Group used to be managed by Grandpa Tang, and he definitely knew more about the ins and outs of these industries than he did.
Hearing that he might complain, Officer Jia immediately felt a headache coming on.
Since he said he would tell their superiors, maybe even his superior, his superior's superior, and his superior's superior's superior… would be scolded along with him.
No one would doubt Old Man Tang's influence. The Earl Medical Group had been in business for decades, treating countless people and saving lives, accumulating a considerable amount of goodwill over time.
It was almost like he had eaten the "Face-Face Fruit." Wherever he went, people gave Old Man Tang face. His network was much bigger than Su Yehao's.
As the saying goes, an old person in the family is like a treasure.
The reason why Su's father had been doing business so smoothly over the years was actually partly due to Old Man Tang. After all, he was the eldest son-in-law. Otherwise, starting from scratch and competing for food wouldn't have been so easy.
After listening, Officer Jia also tended to believe that Su Yehao wasn't involved.
Otherwise, no matter what, that Wu Weixiong shouldn't have been treated like a sucker, almost being scammed with a fake pig's heart bought from the market for twenty-something dollars, placed in a refrigerated box.
After saying a few polite words, the two officers said goodbye and reminded him that it would be best to find a lawyer for Wu Weixiong. After being bailed out, he couldn't leave Hong Kong for the time being, and might be prosecuted later.
Su Yehao guessed that they were probably afraid that Wu Weixiong, that sickly guy, would accidentally collapse in their station.
In the end, it was just a scam. The purpose was a bit malicious, but the consequences Wu Weixiong had to bear wouldn't be too heavy. On the other hand, the two scammers who sold the pig's heart had already gotten the money when they were caught, and were suspected of fraud. They would probably have to spend a few years in jail…
Linda Yun continued to give her statement to Officer Jia and the others.
In the VIP ward, Old Man Tang was sitting on the sofa in a huff, saying, "I knew your dad was unreliable, but I didn't expect him to harm even his own son. You actually went to receive this kind of shady person. Isn't that like getting mud stuck in your pants?"
Su Yehao's mother had a lot of confidence in Su Yehao, so she didn't say much just now. After all, it was just an inquiry, and she didn't need to step in at all.
After the old man finished speaking, Su Yehao's mother shook her head with a smile:
"Wu Weixiong... I have a bit of an impression. His parents saved Xiao Hao's father's life back then. They were the ones who pulled him onto the boat and brought him back to Casino, 1997. No wonder he wants to show some loyalty. It's just that Wu's kid probably panicked and didn't know anything, so he rashly fell into someone else's trap."
Being stared at by his mother, Su Yehao decisively clarified:
"Don't look at me. It really has nothing to do with me. I was worried that he would use his favor to ask me to help him cut in line on the waiting list, but I didn't expect him to be more impulsive than I thought. When I called yesterday, I heard my dad say that the guy's parents are cousins."
Old Man Tang suddenly understood and said:
"No wonder he's so young and his heart is already failing. There were many consanguineous marriages like this in our era. People didn't understand this back then. It would be strange if the children born were healthy. Luckily, I didn't have any older or younger female cousins. Look how healthy you all are."
...
It was just a misunderstanding.
Su Yehao just strained his back. His mother and grandfather left one after another, leaving only Jiang Yu to continue taking care of him.
Eating the strawberries that Jiang Yu had helped wash, Su Yehao patted the big bed and joked, "You stole my pillow last night, right? No wonder my back is injured. Do you want to catch up on some sleep? Lie down with me. I heard you secretly slipped away early in the morning?"
She had touched on a sore spot. Jiang Yu's skin was thin, and she spat a few times, saying, "Can't the strawberries shut your mouth? I was careless last night. Who knew Fang Ya Jun's girlfriend looked so gentle, but she's actually a boozehound."
"She hadn't even used her full strength, and you were already staggering around drunk. With your drinking capacity, who can you bully?"
"Hmph, if I hadn't been drunk, would you have had a chance to bully me?" Jiang Yu lowered her voice and said through gritted teeth, "Nangong is really carefree, actually going crazy with you. No one is allowed to mention this again, okay?"
"Not okay. Can't you just move in? Anyway, my future father-in-law already has a clue."
"Who's your future father-in-law? Look at what you've done. I could only hide outside this morning, so they wouldn't ask me where I went last night..."
Chatting with Jiang Yu, he rented some discs and spent time watching the TV series *Detective Investigation Files*.
A morning passed quickly.
When the effect of the painkiller decreased, an old Chinese medicine practitioner who had been specially invited from outside massaged Su Yehao's back and performed acupuncture. While regulating his body, he also took his pulse and concluded that his qi was weak and his body was deficient.
Jiang Yu was still next to him, and Su Yehao was so embarrassed that he wanted to jump up and tell the bodyguards to shut the old Chinese medicine practitioner's mouth.
However, it was a good opportunity to recuperate. After the old Chinese medicine practitioner prescribed a few dietary supplements, Su Yehao gave him a tip as an extra consultation fee.
He took a nap in the afternoon.
Jiang Yu didn't like watching detective dramas and wanted to try watching a Japanese horror movie that she had wanted to see for a long time before it got dark.
Hearing this, Su Yehao mocked himself, "Sister, the doctor told me to rest quietly. What horror movie are you watching? I feel like my yang energy isn't enough. I can't handle it. Otherwise, let's change to another TV series. When the Sweet Yu Entertainment team is set up, I plan to film a comedy."
"Oh? You already have an idea?" Jiang Yu asked lazily, curiously.
"A little. I'm thinking of investing in a TV series based on the American show *Friends*. If I have spare money one day, I might even buy a TV station..."
