Overpowered Resident Doctor

Chapter 721 - 720: The Law Doesn’t Punish the Masses?



Sometime after 7:00 p.m. at Zuimo Court, the home of the Yan siblings.

After finishing dinner, Yan Feifan returned to his room and began watching Dr. Yu Youyi’s ankyloglossia correction surgery.

Originally, he had planned to use his relatively free time this afternoon for this task.

But plans change!

First, Xia Min had wanted plastic surgery, and then the mob disturbance happened this morning, forcing Yan Feifan to postpone this task until the evening.

"Feifan, Feifan, the special task force issued a notice!"

Footsteps followed the voice into the room. Yan Feifan turned his head and saw his sister and Su Ye approaching him together.

He took the tablet from his sister and saw a police report with a blue background displayed on the screen.

Yan Feifan read through it and saw that the report detailed the sequence of events confirmed by the investigation.

It stated that yesterday evening, Xiao Wenjin had accidentally injured his face and wanted to invite Dr. Yan Feifan to Nanhai Island to treat him.

Because he had a surgery scheduled, Mr. Yan directly refused the invitation.

During their communication, Mr. Yan never mentioned a private jet or a million-yuan medical fee, a fact proven by the call recording.

Mr. Yan’s refusal caused Xiao Wenjin to harbor resentment.

He believed Mr. Yan was disrespecting him and threatened to teach Mr. Yan a lesson he wouldn’t forget.

Under these circumstances, Wang Fei, a member of Xiao Wenjin’s team, arranged for people to continuously harass Mr. Yan by phone, forcing him to turn his phone off in response.

You Fang, an editor for an entertainment program at Zhesheng Satellite TV, fabricated a false Weibo post to viciously slander Mr. Yan and incite Xiao Wenjin’s fans to attack him.

The president, vice president, and other leaders of Xiao Wenjin’s Binhai fan club worked overnight to organize and mislead fans, directing them to go to the Affiliated Hospital first thing in the morning to protest and attack Mr. Yan.

The above facts have been confirmed by multiple parties.

The preliminary investigation has also revealed that Xiao Wenjin and his team are implicated in other criminal activities. They have now been officially placed under criminal detention.

A follow-up report will be issued once the investigation is complete.

"Feifan, they’ve been placed under criminal detention!"

Yan Ziruo, looking as thrilled as if a great wrong had been avenged, crowed, "This time, there’s no way he can make a comeback."

"A top-tier celebrity propped up by capital, so arrogant he actually thought he was an emperor, treating an invitation like an imperial edict that no one was allowed to refuse."

"This time he ran into our Feifan. Serves him right to have his career shattered!"

Yan Feifan smiled and pushed the tablet back into his sister’s hands. "It’s best to let the police handle this."

"Sis, go watch some TV. I have to get back to work."

Yu Suye glanced at the paused surgical footage on the desktop monitor and asked, "Feifan, have you noticed any issues with my uncle Youyi’s technique?"

Yan Feifan replied quietly, "I just started watching. I haven’t noticed any issues yet. His technical skills are actually quite good."

Yu Suye murmured a soft "Oh" and left the room with Yan Ziruo.

A little over half an hour later, Qee Sheng, the director of the Diagnostics Department, paid an unexpected visit, interrupting Yan Feifan’s work once again.

"Feifan, there were a total of fifty-three people who surrounded and blocked your vehicle this morning."

"Nineteen of them were male, and thirty-four were female."

Qee Sheng explained in detail, "Eleven of them are university students, and four of those are even from Binhai University."

"Twenty-seven are high school students."

"And fifteen are middle school students."

"Except for twenty-four who were released on bail because they’re under sixteen, the remaining twenty-nine are all being held in a detention center right now."

Hearing this, Yan Feifan asked with some confusion, "Mr. Qi, is there a reason you’re telling me all this?"

Qee Sheng gave an embarrassed smile and said, "Feifan, I won’t hide it from you. I was asked to come and plead their case."

"Among these fifty-plus kids, the relatives of three of them work right here at our hospital."

"I heard the charge they’re facing is for assembling a mob to storm the hospital and disturbing the public order."

"Feifan, that’s a criminal charge."

"Once they’re convicted, their lives will be changed forever."

Qee Sheng sighed. "Feifan, I’m here on behalf of these kids’ parents to ask if there’s any possibility of a settlement."

"After all, most of them are just inexperienced middle and high school students. More importantly, they were deceived and led astray."

Unexpectedly, before Yan Feifan could respond, Yu Suye spoke up. "Mr. Qi, are you claustrophobic?"

Qee Sheng shook his head.

Yu Suye continued, "I didn’t before, and neither did Feifan. But after what happened this morning... I can’t speak for Feifan, but I think I do now."

"Dozens of people were stomping on the roof right above our heads. The roof kept buckling, and we could hear cracking and THUDDING noises."

"My heart was seized by terror. I was afraid the roof would collapse at any second, and that Feifan, our driver Duan Yu, and I would be crushed to a pulp in an instant."

"Can you imagine that kind of life-or-death terror, Mr. Qi?"

Qee Sheng said awkwardly, "I’ve seen the video of the incident. It was indeed excessive and dangerous."

"I can imagine the situation you were in, and your fear."

After a pause, Qee Sheng added slowly, "In a mob situation, individuals are more prone to acting irrationally."

"Especially teenagers. They’re more easily swayed by their emotions and can impulsively do terrible things."

"But as for the cause of all this, it was Xiao Wenjin and his team who deceived and incited them. The ones who caused the disturbance this morning were just being used."

Qee Sheng added, "The parents all said they’re willing to compensate you ten, even a hundred times over for the damages and trauma you suffered."

He pleaded, "Feifan, this is fifty-three people we’re talking about, and they’re all teenagers or in their early twenties."

"Their entire lives are in your hands."

Yan Feifan let out a short laugh. "Mr. Qi, one’s fate is always in one’s own hands."

"No matter how young they are, they’re not toddlers. They know the difference between right and wrong and understand the gravity of their actions."

"If you do something wrong, you have to bear the responsibility and the consequences."

Yan Feifan said sternly, "Mr. Qi, this isn’t a civil case where the parties can negotiate a settlement. This is a criminal case being prosecuted and tried by the state."

"I am merely the victim here; I have no power to influence the trial."

Hearing this, Qee Sheng understood Yan Feifan’s stance.

He stopped trying to persuade him and stood up. "Feifan, I came, I made my plea, and I understand your position."

"That’s all then. I won’t disturb you any longer..."

After seeing Mr. Qi out, Yan Ziruo, who had been quiet until now, spoke with a worried tone. "Feifan, are you sure it’s wise to be so unequivocal? We’re talking about over fifty people."

"The combined power of their families is probably nothing to scoff at."

Yan Feifan scoffed. "What’s there to be afraid of? They’re the ones who broke the law, not us. What do we have to worry about?"

Then another thought occurred to him. "Wait, with so many people involved, won’t they get away with it under the ’safety in numbers’ idea?"

Duan Yu, who had been silent until then, said in a heavy voice, "There’s no such thing as ’the law doesn’t punish the masses.’"

"Mass incidents are what our country takes most seriously. Cases like this are always handled strictly and severely."

Yan Feifan murmured, "Oh," then added with a cynical laugh, "And to think, eleven of them were university students, with four from Binhai University, no less."

"Did all those years of education go to the dogs? They have absolutely no ability to judge for themselves."

Yan Ziruo shook her head. "Getting into a prestigious university doesn’t mean you’re a good person."

As Yan Feifan walked toward his room, he reminded them, "I’m getting back to work. Don’t disturb me unless it’s something important..."
