Hearing Er Zhu say this, and seeing Fang Zhoucheng's awkward expression, Old Wang truly felt too embarrassed to intercede for Fang Zhoucheng anymore.
"Old Fang, hurry up and pay Er Zhu, it's getting late, we should be leaving."
Old Wang patted Fang Zhoucheng's shoulder with a flushed face, then pointed to the sun overhead and urged him on.
The sky was actually still early, but Teacher Wang really didn't want to stay there any longer. This was simply too humiliating!
A business tycoon who had been dominating the scene for a lifetime had his true intentions seen through by a farmer. If he were Fang Zhoucheng, he would wish he could just smash his head to death!
Fang Zhoucheng's face was also extremely ugly. After quickly transferring money to Er Zhu, he got into the car without even saying goodbye.
This young man truly had some skills, no wonder Old Wang admired him so much!
Hearing the notification sound from Er Zhu's phone, Old Wang exchanged a few simple pleasantries before getting into his car. Just as they were leaving, Er Zhu's phone rang again.
Chen Xiaozhu?
Seeing the name on the phone screen, Er Zhu was startled, a hint of confusion flashing in his eyes.
She should be investigating the culprit who poisoned her right now, so why was she calling him?
"Er Zhu, please, help me!"
Although Er Zhu was confused, he still answered the phone. But as soon as the call connected, Chen Xiaozhu's pleading voice came from the phone.
"I've investigated for so long, but I haven't found anything. Even if I want to report to the police now, I don't have the right!"
Before Er Zhu could even speak, Chen Xiaozhu added. She was already so anxious that she was speaking incoherently.
"I'm not very interested in investigating cases. How about this, I'll introduce you to the police chief, and you can ask him for help."
Er Zhu initially wanted to agree, but then he thought of his enemy far away in the capital, so he refused Chen Xiaozhu's plea.
What was most important to him now was revenge. As for these professional matters, let the professional agencies handle them.
"Then... alright."
After a long pause, Chen Xiaozhu reluctantly agreed. They chatted for a long time before Chen Xiaozhu hung up.
"Er Zhu, why are you standing in the courtyard?"
As soon as Er Zhu put away his phone, Li Mei, who had gone out to buy groceries, returned. She looked at Er Zhu curiously.
"Oh, I just came out to stretch my legs. It's quite tiring to take care of those medicinal herbs in the backyard all the time."
Seeing Li Mei, Er Zhu didn't tell her anything and just made up an excuse to brush it off. Although Li Mei felt that Er Zhu was hiding something from her, she didn't ask further. Just as she was about to head home, she heard footsteps behind them.
"Er Zhu, it's bad! Something's happened at your hospital!"
Er Zhu looked up and saw Lin Quan rushing towards him anxiously, so worried that he didn't even notice he had lost his phone.
"What happened? What happened at Er Zhu's hospital?"
Er Zhu remained quite calm. Li Mei, standing beside him, quickly ran over and asked with a worried expression.
"I'm not too sure of the specifics, but it seems like a doctor at your hospital killed someone, and then she fled!"
Without waiting to catch his breath, Lin Quan wiped the sweat from his face and replied breathlessly.
"Ah, Er Zhu, what are we going to do? You're going to jail this time!"
Hearing this, Li Mei's brow furrowed even tighter. Her heart was already in her throat!
Er Zhu was the legal representative of the hospital. He couldn't escape responsibility for any accident that happened at the hospital, let alone one like this!
If Er Zhu went to jail, what would happen to her? What would happen to the entire Shiliu Village?
The more Li Mei thought about it, the more anxious she became. Her eyes turned red, and she was so worried that she was almost in tears!
"Mei Jie, don't worry, I'll be fine."
Seeing Li Mei pouting, Er Zhu gently patted her shoulder. Before Li Mei could say anything, Er Zhu had already gotten into the car.
On the way, Er Zhu called the hospital director and finally understood what had happened. It turned out that a highly experienced doctor at the hospital, Chen Ting, had treated an eight or nine-year-old girl who died. The girl's family caused a scene at the hospital, and Chen Ting, fearing responsibility, had fled.
After hanging up the phone, Er Zhu's eyes darted around. The more he thought about this matter, the more it felt wrong.
A top student from a medical college could kill someone by treating a common stomach ailment? This doctor was too incompetent.
Never mind, he would go to the hospital to check the situation first. Zhang Qiang was still waiting for him there.
With this thought, Er Zhu stepped on the accelerator. The black luxury car shot out like an arrow loosed from a bow.
As soon as Er Zhu got out of the car, he saw a crowd gathered at the hospital entrance. The sounds of curses, mockery, and wails were incessant.
"Heartless profiteer, look at the incompetent doctors you've hired!"
As Er Zhu approached the entrance, a member of the crowd recognized him. The person raised his fist and angrily cursed at Er Zhu.
"Beast! People like him should be shot!"
"My daughter was only eight years old! Her life had just begun, and it's already over. This is all your fault!"
"Tsk tsk, I said when the hospital opened that its standards weren't good. See, it's killed someone now!"
...
Hearing the crowd's voices, other people also turned their heads, surrounding Er Zhu. The atmosphere was extremely tense!
"What are you doing? Disperse!"
Just as the crowd's emotions were becoming increasingly agitated, Zhang Qiang shouted from not far away. The crowd then fell silent, but their eyes were still fixed on Er Zhu, as if they wanted to devour him.
"I'm telling you, if you dare to lay a hand on him, I'll arrest all of you!"
Seeing the crowd's furious appearance, Zhang Qiang pointed at them and sternly warned them.
When faced with such a situation, the police shouldn't have taken sides. However, Zhang Qiang admired Er Zhu too much, so his scales were involuntarily tilted towards him.
"Everyone, please rest assured. I will give you a satisfactory answer regarding this matter."
Looking at the crowd's furious faces and the grief-stricken victim's family, Er Zhu spoke slowly.
"The most satisfactory answer is to bring my daughter back to life. Can you do that?"
"Don't speak so nicely. Perhaps you, the profiteer, are in cahoots with that black-hearted doctor, and you're just stalling for time!"
"What kind of policeman are you? Instead of arresting this beast, you're threatening us common folk!"
...
Like a stone thrown into a pond, Er Zhu's words did not calm the crowd; instead, they made them more agitated. Seeing everyone chattering away, Zhang Qiang no longer bothered to explain and pulled Er Zhu into the hospital. The crowd tried to force their way in, but they were blocked by the police, so they could only remain at the entrance.
"Zhang Qiang, let the patient's family in. I need to understand the situation in detail."
As soon as he entered the hospital, Er Zhu let go of Zhang Qiang's hand and pointed to the couple at the door who were almost crying themselves unconscious.
"Er Zhu, it's probably best not to let them in. They're too emotional right now. It wouldn't be good if they hurt you."
Seeing the couple's heart-wrenching cries, Zhang Qiang reminded him with concern.
