"What's more tragic is that so people have no power in their hands, yet they cling to the powerful through transactions of money and influence, acting even more arrogantly than those who actually hold power," Chen Fang finished saying.
With a touch of heartache, Fang Gui said, "It has been this way since ancient tis; what can be done about it? Your efforts alone can't change anything."
Chen Fang nodded.
He said, "Right, I alone can't change much. But in the darkness, there must be soone to light a lamp. Of course, I know that countless storms want to extinguish this light. They fear it and dread it, but I always think that surely there are many people who will find the right path guided by this feeble light."
Fang Gui let out a long sigh.
She said, "Big brother Fang, just go ahead and do what you need to do. Our sister and I will always stand on your shoulders to support you quietly."
Chen Fang was taken aback.
He asked, "Shouldn't it be standing behind you, quietly pushing you forward?"
Fang Gui didn't react at first.
Then suddenly, her face blushed a deep red.
She feigned annoyance, "What ti is it, and you're still joking like this?"
"No matter the ti, I should laugh out loud. If I cried instead, wouldn't those bastards celebrate in secret?"
"I just can't win against you..."
Fang Gui pouted as she spoke.
At that mont,
the phone rang.
It was Yu Zhengchuan calling.
He told Chen Fang that they indeed found a person nad Yu Caii.
Quite coincidentally, she was in the Third Hospital.
When they arrived at the Third Hospital,
Yu Zhengchuan was already waiting at the entrance.
Apart from him, there was another person, Mo Zifei, who Chen Fang had called over.
The mont Chen Fang got out of the car, he asked, "How is she?"
Yu Zhengchuan said, "I've looked at her dical records. She has a perineal laceration, multiple soft tissue contusions all over her body, and there are also signs of cigarette burns on her chest. Her emotional state is quite unstable. If I hadn't forcibly kept her here, her brother would have already prepared to discharge her."
Chen Fang nodded.
He asked, "Have you looked into her family situation?"
Yu Zhengchuan said, "Yes, they are from Jianghan Province, both siblings ca to work in our city. Her brother, Yu Zhen, works as a carpenter on a construction site, and Yu Caii works as a greeter in a restaurant. The siblings send money ho regularly, where a sick father and a younger brother rely on it."
Yet another pair of hapless souls.
Chen Fang felt a pang of heartache.
He asked, "Did you report this to the police?"
Yu Zhengchuan said, "When she was brought in, the hospital followed normal procedures and reported it to the police, but Yu Caii dared not say anything. There was nothing the police could do, so the matter was dropped."
"Okay, I understand."
Chen Fang nodded again.
He brought Fang Gui and Mo Zifei with him to the patient's room.
Looking through the glass door of the ward,
they saw a young man dressed plainly, kneeling on the ground and weeping with his face in his hands.
On the hospital bed, Yu Caii, who must have been quite beautiful normally, now looked frail and defeated, staring blankly at the ceiling.
"Knock, knock, knock."
Chen Fang knocked on the door.
This sound did not attract Yu Caii's attention; she had no interest in what was happening outside.
But Yu Zhen, who was kneeling, wiped away his tears and stood up.
Yu Zhengchuan pushed the door open.
Before he could speak,
Yu Zhen, impatient, said, "Doctor, my sister is fine now, she can be discharged, right?"
Yu Zhengchuan frowned.
He responded, "According to the examination, there are no major issues, but we need to continue observation for a while."
"But... ah..."
Yu Zhen sighed deeply.
He didn't finish his sentence.
Yu Zhengchuan of course understood what he ant.
He said, "Mr. Yu, I know you're worried about the cost of hospitalization. You don't have to worry about it now. Our hospital has a partnering enterprise that provides aid; let introduce you. This is the owner of the Taste Pavilion Catering Co., Ltd., Mo Zifei. Your sister's dical bills will be fully covered by their company."
Introduced by Yu Zhengchuan,
Mo Zifei stepped forward.
Yu Zhen was stunned,
seemingly never having heard of such good fortune before.
Mo Zifei took out five bundles of cash from the bag she was carrying, which amounted to fifty thousand yuan.
He thrust the money into Yu Zhen's hands.
He said, "Mr. Yu, take this money and use it to treat your sister's illness."
Seeing the money.
Yu Zhen finally believed.
Tears once again stread down his face.
As he took the money, his hands trembled.
At this mont, Chen Fang stepped forward.
He spoke softly, "Mr. Yu, would it be convenient for you to step out for a mont? There are so follow-up matters we'd like to discuss with you."
Yu Zhen looked worriedly at Yu Caii, who was lying in the hospital bed.
Yu Zhengchuan quickly said, "Mr. Yu, rest assured, I will take care of her here."
With those words.
Yu Zhen finally nodded his head and followed Chen Fang, Mo Zifei, and the others to the hallway outside.
"Mr. Yu, this money is for your sister's treatnt expenses. If you encounter any difficulties in work or life in the future, our company will provide assistance as much as possible. Our President Mo has also said that once your sister has fully recovered, she can work at Taste Pavilion. The salary will definitely be higher than that of the previous restaurant, and we will ensure her safety," they explained.
With those words.
Yu Zhen was moved to tears.
He grabbed Chen Fang's hand, thanking him profusely.
Chen Fang knew his guard had been let down.
Chen Fang continued, "Regarding the harm your sister has suffered, our company has decided to hire a professional lawyer to file a lawsuit. Mr. Yu, do you have any clues that you could provide us with?"
Upon hearing this.
Yu Zhen beca anxious imdiately.
He waved his hands repeatedly, saying, "No need, really no need. We are just ordinary people; we can't fight those rich folks. When they brought my sister here, they already warned her if we dared to breathe a word to the police, they would make sure we can't stay in Wen'an City. We really don't dare to provoke them."
Seeing his anxious deanor.
Chen Fang nodded.
He replied, "Alright, since that's the case, let's not bring it up for now. Let's focus on getting your sister well first."
No sooner had he spoken than.
Fang Gui ca running over in a hurry from a distance.
He glanced at Chen Fang.
Chen Fang asked, "What's wrong?"
Fang Gui moved closer to Chen Fang.
He whispered a few words into his ear.
Chen Fang nodded and said, "Alright, I got it."
When he returned to the entrance of the hospital room.
He saw four police officers standing in the hallway.
Two n and two won.
Yu Zhengchuan was standing at the entrance, communicating with them.
"What happened?"
Chen Fang approached Yu Zhengchuan and asked.
Yu Zhengchuan answered, "This officer is from the Huxi Police Station. They said they ca to arrest Yu Caii."
"Oh? Why?"
Chen Fang asked.
The leading officer said, "We received a report from the Seaside Restaurant alleging that Yu Caii, while working as a hostess there, repeatedly stole money from custors, a substantial amount. Therefore, we are taking her in for questioning according to the law."
"Repeated thefts? Why didn't you report it earlier? Why wait until she's hospitalized to file a report?"
Chen Fang inquired.
An adjacent officer seed to be losing his patience.
He sneered, "And who are you? Is the police's work any of your business? Move aside, don't obstruct our case. Otherwise, I can charge you with obstruction of official duties, you believe that?"
Chen Fang was taken aback.
He chuckled, "Such an imposing officer you are, getting so heated over a few questions? How does that obstruct official duties? Why don't you handcuff and take in?"
Chen Fang extended his hands and asked.
"You think I wouldn't dare to?"
The officer said and reached for his handcuffs at his waist.
He was stopped by the officer in charge.
That officer asked Chen Fang sternly, "What is your relationship with her?"
"I have no relation to her,"
Chen Fang replied.
Upon hearing this, the volatile officer beca enraged.
He pointed at Chen Fang's face and bellowed, "If you have no relation, then why the hell are you talking? Get out of the way!"
