Chapter 196: No One Can Save You!

~8 min read 1,404 words

Wang Kun, upon hearing Sikong Tu's words, felt as if he had grabbed a lifeline.

He immediately took out his phone and dialed Director Duan Boyan of the Jiangcheng City Defense Office.

"Director Duan! Send people to Ji Shi Tang immediately! There are rioters gathering here, obstructing the Medical Administration from performing official duties! You must dispatch forces at once to control the situation!"

After hanging up, Wang Kun's confidence rose again, and he roared viciously at the crowd.

"You lot of rioters! The City Defense Office personnel are arriving immediately! Anyone who dares to block them will be arrested for Obstructing Official Duties Crime!"

The neighbors were not afraid at all, still standing in front of Jiang Feng, glaring angrily at Wang Kun and Sikong Tu, and the standoff persisted.

Sikong Tu stood aside, his face grim as he stared at Jiang Feng.

Jiang Feng stood in place, his expression calm.

In less than ten minutes, a rapid police siren sounded and soon stopped at the Ji Shi Tang gate.

A dozen or so City Defense Office officers hurried in, led by Chief of Major Cases Group Shen Junyao.

Shen Junyao, upon entering, saw Jiang Feng surrounded by the crowd, and quickly hurried over, her tone carrying a hint of urgency.

"Jiang Feng, what's happening? Why are so many people gathered around?"

She had come under Director Duan's orders to assist in official duties, but upon seeing Jiang Feng, she first concerned herself with his condition.

It was Wang Kun who, seeing the City Defense Office personnel arrive, immediately stepped forward and assumed the posture of a Provincial Medical Administration Director.

"Are you the person in charge of the City Defense Office? I am Jiangnan Medical Administration Director Wang Kun!"

"After investigation, this Ji Shi Tang has serious regulation-violation operating issues, illegal drug manufacturing, endangering public health! We have come to investigate; Jiang Feng not only refuses to cooperate, but also incites uninformed crowds to gather and cause trouble, obstructing official duties!"

"I demand that you immediately cooperate with the Medical Administration, apprehend Jiang Feng and the person in charge of this medical hall, and bring them back to the City Defense Office to assist the investigation!"

Shen Junyao frowned; she knows Jiang Feng's character and does not believe he would practice medicine illegally, let alone incite crowds to cause trouble.

"Director Wang, there may be a misunderstanding here; Jiang Feng…"

"There is no misunderstanding!"

A cold voice suddenly interrupted her.

Everyone looked toward the voice and saw Lei Zhen walking in from the doorway.

"Officer Shen, I believe the Medical Administration would not act without cause. Whether Jiang Feng violated regulations will become clear after investigation; the most important thing now is to cooperate with the Medical Administration's work to prevent the situation from escalating further."

Shen Junyao, upon seeing Lei Zhen, shivered all over, and her expression instantly turned uneasy.

She did not expect that even Lei Zhen would side with Wang Kun against Jiang Feng!

Lei Zhen is the head of the Dragon Group Action Office, a highly respected position with deep background; as a Chief of Major Cases Group, she could not possibly offend her.

Shen Junyao was torn for a moment, and in the end could only give Jiang Feng a helpless look.

"Jiang Feng, under these circumstances, I... I cannot help you."

Jiang Feng simply smiled indifferently.

"It's okay, I understand."

He didn't want Officer Shen to suffer because he had offended Lei Zhen and the Medical Administration, so he turned and bowed toward the neighboring residents standing before him.

"Thank you all neighbors for your help; I appreciate the sentiment. However, this is just a routine investigation, nothing serious. Please go home first, don't waste anyone's time here, and don't put the City Defense Office in a difficult position."

"Doctor Jiang, we can't let them frame you!"

"They are deliberately targeting you! We won't leave!"

"Yes, Doctor Jiang! We stand with you!"

"If they dare to do anything to you, we will never consent!"

The neighbors all spoke up one after another, still refusing to disperse.

Jiang Feng was even more moved, but did not want to involve everyone, so he continued to patiently persuade.

"Everyone, rest assured, I have done nothing wrong; a righteous person need not fear a crooked shadow. Once the investigation is clear, everything will be fine. Staying here won't solve the problem; it may even get you charged with Obstructing Official Duties, which is not worth it."

The neighbors, seeing Jiang Feng's resolute attitude and fearing they might truly implicate him, hesitated for a long while before slowly beginning to disperse.

When all the neighbors had left, the Ji Shi Tang instantly fell silent.

Wang Kun, seeing the obstruction gone, smiled triumphantly and shouted at his subordinates.

"Start! Search out and seal all medicines and prescriptions in Ji Shi Tang! Then take Jiang Feng and that old man away together!"

"Yes!"

A few staff members immediately rushed into the pharmacy and front hall, began rummaging through cabinets, and soon turned Ji Shi Tang into a mess.

Hua Jing watched the medical hall in total disarray and felt a pang of heartache.

"You are going too far! These are all our legal property!"

"Legal property?"

Wang Kun sneered.

"Once the investigation is clear, they will naturally be returned to you. Now, be honest with me!"

The staff quickly packed up the items, escorted Jiang Feng and Hua Jing out the door.

Jiang Feng's expression remained calm, he did not resist, and when he reached Wang Kun's side, he gave a faint smile.

"Director Wang, I guarantee that in no time you will respectfully invite me back to Ji Shi Tang."

"Hmph, dream on!"

Wang Kun at this moment stopped pretending, and let out a cold laugh.

"When you enter the Medical Administration, whether you can get out will be a question; you still want me to invite you back? I tell you, if that day ever comes, I will kneel on the ground and call you grandpa!"

Jiang Feng said nothing further, followed the staff out of Ji Shi Tang, and slipped into the Medical Administration official vehicle parked at the door.

Hua Jing was also escorted onto another vehicle.

Wang Kun and Sikong Tu exchanged smiles, each seeing triumph in the other's eyes.

As Jiang Feng was being taken away, Officer Shen's face showed hesitation, and finally she made a phone call out...

The car started slowly, heading toward the direction of the Jiangnan Medical Administration.

In the carriage, Wang Kun fully revealed his true face, looking at Jiang Feng viciously.

"Kid, don't you ever consider who you've offended? Old National Hand wants your Prescription, that's just giving you face! You don't know how to accept it, and now you end up like this—purely deserved!"

Jiang Feng leaned against the back of the seat, eyes closed, utterly too lazy to pay him any attention.

Wang Kun, seeing Jiang Feng remain silent, thought he was scared, and became even more overbearing.

"When we reach the Medical Administration, I have plenty of ways to make you hand over the Prescription! By then not only will your Medical Hall be unsalvageable, you'll also have to squat in a big prison!"

Jiang Feng gave the other a faint glance.

"Director Wang handles things like this, aren't you afraid of retribution?"

"Retribution?"

Wang Kun sneered, glaring at Jiang Feng viciously.

"Within the Jiangnan medical world, I am the rule! I say you're guilty, you are guilty!"

The car was halfway along the road when Jiang Feng's phone suddenly rang.

Before Jiang Feng could answer, Wang Kun snatched the receiver and connected.

From the other end of the line came an aged and authoritative voice.

"By the way, Divine Doctor Jiang, tonight the old man wants…"

"Stop bringing up Divine Doctor Jiang!"

Wang Kun, without waiting for the other to finish, cursed at the other end of the phone.

"He'll be a dungeon prisoner in no time! Divine Doctor? I call him a mediocre doctor!"

The person on the other end was stunned for a moment, then asked.

"I am Huo Junshan, who are you?"

Wang Kun, not hearing clearly, shouted impatiently into the phone.

"I'm Jiang Feng's father! Can you control him?"

After saying that, he hung up the phone directly, looking at Jiang Feng with a grim smile.

"Give up, no one can save you!"
