Chapter 102: Keeping Secrets

~7 min read 1,372 words

Xiao Shiran thought they minded her job and explained disappointedly: "I used to think I had a terminal illness, and in order not to let my grandfather worry about my medical expenses, I decided to support myself. The job of an embalmer pays well; sometimes I can earn tens of thousands a month..."

Speaking of this, she said in a low voice: "However, because of this job, I lost many friends. I know many people have taboos about this, and I've already gotten used to it."

"This is absolutely no problem."

"What?"

Zhuo Feng's answer made Xiao Shiran feel very surprised; she suspected she had misheard.

Zhuo Feng said proudly: "Let me introduce myself; I am a hearse driver at the crematorium."

"Really? But I haven't seen you at the crematorium in Huacheng."

Although Xiao Shiran was surprised, she had an inexplicable good impression of Zhuo Feng.

Zhuo Feng laughed heartily: "This is very normal! We hearse drivers run around all day, so the chances of meeting are indeed not high."

Hearing this, Xiao Shiran laughed, took out her phone, and the two added each other as WeChat friends and began to chat.

After Lin Yu finished the acupuncture treatment, he left quietly and headed to the shop in front. Thinking that his good friend had found a suitable partner, he felt very relieved.

Just as he arrived at the shop, Grand Secretary He came up to him and said: "Mr. Lin, you came just in time. The door is repaired; please take a look."

Lin Yu looked at the effect after the restoration and couldn't help but praise Grand Secretary He's craftsmanship. The shop door had almost returned to its original state.

Thus, Lin Yu said sincerely: "You've worked hard, Grand Secretary He."

Grand Secretary He waved his hand: "Not at all. If there's nothing else, we'll be leaving first."

"Then I won't keep you."

After speaking, Lin Yu saw them off to the door and saw from afar that they got into the car arranged by Zheng Zemin.

At this time, the sun was setting, and Zhuo Feng's hearse was parked in front of Zhongcaotang. On one side was saving lives and healing the wounded, and on the other was seeing off the deceased; this scene appeared particularly ironic.

Just at this time, Lin Yu received a call from Hua Qianyu: "Brother Lin Yu, are you free tonight?"

Lin Yu answered with a smile: "Of course I have time."

"There is a banquet tonight. President Chu and I would like to invite you to attend together, is that okay?"

Returning to the shop, listening to the laughter of Zhuo Feng and Xiao Shiran coming from the room in the backyard, Lin Yu replied:

"Of course, where is it?"

"Qingshan Yipin Manor..."

"Okay, I will definitely go..."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Yu repeated the name of Qingshan Yipin Manor in his mouth. Because there was a manor on the top of the mountain there that was a gift he had received from an important figure five years ago.

At the same time, Xiao Chengzhou easily gathered thousands of Rong Sect disciples.

Yesterday, in order to find Zhou Min, Xiao Chengzhou had gathered Rong Sect disciples from several surrounding cities.

They had rushed to Huacheng overnight, and many people had not left today.

Xiao Chengzhou had always been a planner; he cleverly used the expertise of the Rong Sect disciples and quickly found many patients who had been treated by Xie Wendong.

Soon, the families of those patients who had been misdiagnosed or suppressed by Xie Wendong were also gathered together.

Hearing that the families of the victims in this incident would all come to support them, they all expressed that they would arrive as soon as possible.

Outside Huacheng Hospital, the team of patient families led by Xiao Chengzhou grew rapidly, reaching over a thousand people.

This surprised Xiao Chengzhou; he didn't expect Xie Wendong to have misdiagnosed so many people.

Some patient families arrived and even held up banners, which read: "Unscrupulous quack Xie Wendong, deceiving patients for money, may you die a horrible death for earning black-hearted money."

This action quickly attracted public attention, and the news soon reached Xie Wendong.

And at this time, Xie Wendong had just learned that a top medical team from Europa was visiting the Long family in Huacheng.

He urgently hoped to contact these experts to treat his illness and negotiated through Long Yiqing.

When Xie Wendong discussed the fees with Long Yiqing, he indicated that as long as Professor Kaidet was willing to help, he would pay any amount.

Since returning from Miao Street, Long Yiqing had been severely criticized by his grandfather, Long Zhiping, because Professor Kaidet had almost encountered an accident.

However, the members of the Eternal Sanctuary did not leave immediately, especially Professor Kaidet, who had been thinking about seeing Lin Yu again.

For every extra day he stayed, Long Yiqing had to bear the corresponding costs.

Facing Xie Wendong's request, Long Yiqing decided to ask for an exorbitant price: "If you can come up with 50 million, I guarantee Professor Kaidet will treat you personally. But no matter the result, this 50 million will not be refunded."

Xie Wendong agreed without hesitation: "Fine, if I am truly beyond saving, money has no meaning to me anyway."

To Long Yiqing's surprise, Xie Wendong immediately asked for a bank account and quickly transferred 50 million.

However, this huge sum was just a small pain for Xie Wendong.

Not long after, a nurse came in and told him that over a thousand former patients had gathered outside the hospital.

Xie Wendong, however, was dismissive: "Let them make a scene; as long as I don't appear, they will naturally disperse."

However, the phone suddenly rang; it was his father-in-law, the president of Huacheng Municipal Hospital: "Xie Wendong, this time I can't protect you either."

After Xie Wendong hung up the phone, he fell into a daze. Everything he had done to patients over the years had long been targeted by relevant departments, which had set up a special task force to investigate.

This incident involved an unprecedented number of people, with over a thousand patients gathering to demand justice.

Hearing this number, Xie Wendong felt a mix of emotions; he didn't expect that he had deceived so many people.

The president said in a low voice: "Do you want to ruin your son?"

Seeing that Xie Wendong did not respond, the president continued: "You have worked hard all these years. Fortunately, your money has all been transferred to your son's name; this money is enough for him to live a carefree life."

Xie Wendong gave a bitter smile and said nothing.

At this moment, he realized that his father-in-law was far more shrewd than he had imagined and had long prepared for this day.

"I understand what you mean; I won't make it difficult for you." After speaking, Xie Wendong left the ward and came to the roof of the hospital. The night wind brushed over his bald head, bringing a hint of coolness. Looking at the abyss beneath his feet, he felt a wave of dizziness.

Xie Wendong, who once deceived patients with lies that they had brain tumors, now truly suffered from the same disease.

He believed this was retribution for his actions.

Just as he intended to jump, a voice interrupted his action: "Want to die? It's not that easy."

Xie Wendong turned around in terror and saw a thin old man standing behind him, not knowing when he had arrived. He knew he couldn't let himself fall into the enemy's hands and had to keep his secret.

However, when he tried to jump again, he was tightly grabbed by the old man and thrown to the ground.

"Let me die." Xie Wendong struggled, but the old man just gave a light pat, and he was unable to move.

"I just want you to taste the feeling of life being worse than death." This person was Xiao Chengzhou, who had already united all the victims' families and found this place; they were all gathered downstairs at the hospital waiting for justice to arrive. ===== CHAPTER 103 =====
