Chapter 247
Police! Right here!
Old Master Ji, leaning on his cane, led four police officers as they burst through the door.
He originally did not need to use a cane anymore, but with his eldest son in trouble, his second son acting as bait, and his mother facing Li Chunsheng head-on... three of his closest family members were in immense danger. His mind and body were on the verge of collapse, making the cane a necessity to keep his legs from giving out.
Still, when he saw Ji Yanting collapsed on the floor, his heart uncontrollably skipped a beat.
The captain leading the squad stepped forward. So this is Chairman Li's office. May I ask what exactly is going on here?
This patient was emotionally unstable and showed aggressive tendencies. My bodyguards took action, which was indeed our fault. Li Chunsheng had regained his refined demeanor. Medical expenses, nutrition fees, compensation for mental distress, and lost wages—Li's Hospital will take full responsibility for all of it.
The captain looked at Old Master Ji. The other party is willing to take full responsibility. We can close the case like this, assuming neither side has any objections?
Close the case? So hastily? Rong Yu suddenly raised her hand, grabbed Li Chunsheng's right arm, and yanked it upward. She snatched the gun he was trying to hide and slammed it onto the desk. Illegal possession of a firearm. Are the police just going to ignore this?
It is just a toy gun, Li Chunsheng said calmly. You can inspect it right now.
Li Chunsheng sat in his chair, his expression serene.
He had navigated the turbulent waters of Harbor City for decades. Whether in the underworld or legitimate society, among officials or civilians, he had connections everywhere. Trying to convict him over such a little thing was a joke.
With just a single look from him, would these people dare to escalate the matter?
If he said it was a toy gun, then this thing could only be a toy gun.
As for this little girl...
Li Chunsheng's eyes turned icy. No matter who she was, he would dispose of her cleanly before the surgery. He absolutely would not leave any loose ends.
The expressions of the police officers froze.
As professionals, they could tell at a glance that this was the real deal, not a toy gun at all.
But...
Li Chunsheng was a top-tier figure in Harbor City. If he had powerful protectors above...
Just then, the captain's phone suddenly began to vibrate.
He glanced at the caller ID, and his expression drastically changed. He immediately answered, Yes, sir! Understood!
After hanging up, the captain's attitude shifted instantly. He barked an order: Cuff Li Chunsheng!
Li Chunsheng's face stiffened. Do you know who I am? How dare you give such an order?
I just received instructions from my superiors, the captain said coldly. The founder and chairman of Li's Hospital is in illegal possession of a firearm and is suspected of multiple cases of illegal organ trafficking and intentional homicide. Please come down to the station to cooperate with the investigation!
Li Chunsheng outright laughed. Have your Chief Wang come over. Ask him if he dares to arrest me.
His arrogant demeanor infuriated the viewers in the live stream.
Holy shit, this old bastard is so arrogant. Imagine how rampant he is behind the scenes! Truly, a scourge lasts a thousand years!
See that? This is the true face of the upper class!
Weren't people just praising Li's Charity Hospital? I suggest tying Li Chunsheng to an operating table so he can experience what his victims felt.
If Chief Wang really comes, does that mean this great demon will escape investigation?
Is there no one who can do something about this?
...
The captain enunciated every word: It was the Central Government of China that ordered the Harbor City government to arrest you!
Li Chunsheng was suddenly stunned. The Central Government? Why would the Central Government intervene in Harbor City's affairs?
Rong Yu sneered.
This was the reason she had brought A-Yan here.
A-Yan had debuted in his teens and struggled in the entertainment industry for over a decade, accumulating hundreds of millions of fans.
How could these fans tolerate their idol being so violently beaten? Naturally, they would fight tooth and nail to push the incident to the top of the trending topics, drawing official attention.
There is strength in numbers.
As long as the Central Government noticed the live stream, everything else would fall into place.
Everything had gone much smoother than she imagined.
It was just that... A-Yan had suffered quite a bit.
But Yuan was still in the operating room, and his situation was unknown. Compared to that, getting beaten up like this was nothing.
Take him away!
The captain gave a stern order, and silver handcuffs were snapped onto Li Chunsheng's wrists.
The live stream erupted in jubilation.
Thank goodness, the Central Government stepped in. Our brother is saved.
No, it is not just our brother who is saved. It is that all the victims can finally get justice. All the ordinary people targeted by capital have been saved.
I suggest investigating those wealthy tycoons who miraculously recovered. This case absolutely cannot end here!
...
At that moment, Ji Yanting wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, picked up the camera, faced the millions of viewers, and spoke softly: It is just some superficial wounds. I am fine.
Thank you to my fans, and thank you to every passerby who paid attention to this matter. Because of every soul behind the screen who refused to remain silent, the sound of your typing keyboards converged into the thunderclap of this very moment.
From now on, when the dark hands of capital reach for the weak again, please always remember today—remember how millions of ordinary people wove a net of justice with their attention, leaving evil with nowhere to hide.
Thank you all once again. The live stream ends here.
The live stream was turned off, but the news regarding this incident only intensified on the internet.
Many victims' families stepped forward. Weibo posts containing victims' statements were pushed to the top of the trending lists one by one. The Central Government immediately formed an investigation team and dispatched them to Harbor City...
Li's Hospital was shut down.
The Li family's power began to crumble.
When Rong Yu and Old Master Ji supported Ji Yanting to the doorway, they saw Ji Zhiyuan being wheeled out by Wen Yan and a few staff members.
Wen Yan's face was full of smiles. Do not worry, President Ji was only injected with anesthesia. He will be fine after a good sleep.
The taut strings of Old Master Ji's heart immediately relaxed.
He grabbed Rong Yu's hand, his eyes red, and said in a low voice, Mom, it is all my fault. If I hadn't insisted on getting the injection, Yuan wouldn't have suffered all this, and A-Yan wouldn't have been beaten up like this. It is all my fault...
Rong Yu rubbed his hair. Yingbao, you should think about it this way: if we hadn't happened to get involved in this, who knows how many more ordinary people would have fallen victim to their vicious hands.
Illegal organ trafficking was only one aspect.
The second was that life-extending drug. From the limited information she had found, this drug was highly likely extracted from certain cells in the bodies of minors, dealing a devastating blow to the children's bodies... This also explained why, for so many years, Li's Hospital had treated countless children for free...
Thinking of Li Chunsheng, Rong Yu's lips turned a bit pale.
If she hadn't helped Li Chunsheng financially back then, perhaps so many people wouldn't have been victimized.
But life doesn't allow for so many regrets.
Besides, even if time flowed backward, she probably still would have made the same choice.
It wasn't that she was wrong.
It was Li Chunsheng who had taken the wrong path.
She spoke up, The meaning of life lies not in its length, but in its breadth. Rather than spending thirty million dollars on that drug, it would be better to donate it. What do you think?
Old Master Ji nodded profusely. I will handle this matter personally.
