Chapter 2221: 2144 Extortion (Alliance Leader's Sturdy Rice Cake Bonus Chapter 1)

Boss, is there anyone who specializes in researching EDI Syndrome? Su Yun asked.

I don't know, I haven't seen any in-depth research reports. Zheng Ren said: The cause and mechanism of the onset are unclear.

It's not easy for this group to know about EDI Syndrome. What would you do if you encountered something you didn't know? Su Yun asked with a smile.

What else can we do? Call the police. Zheng Ren said: I guess the other side just sends the person over after the extortion, and the at-fault driver doesn't even have time to call the police. The gap in between is an opportunity for them to perform.

Wait, wait… a moment. Zhou Litao hurriedly stopped the two.

If we didn't stop them, the topic would drift further and further, never getting to the point I want to know.

You couldn't possibly not know about EDI Syndrome, right? Su Yun said with a look of disdain, Just look it up on your phone—there's little information, no research results, just a set of clinical signs.

Zhou Litao broke into a sweat and immediately pulled out his phone to search.

Sure enough, the related information amounted to only a few hundred characters.

EDI Syndrome is also called forced pupil; it manifests as unilateral pupil dilation, abnormal direct and indirect light reflexes and accommodation reflexes, accompanied by weakened or absent tendon reflexes (especially knee and ankle reflexes).

Considering the patient's family's behavior before contacting Boss Zheng, and their complete 180-degree attitude shift afterward, Zhou Litao felt he seemed to have understood something.

Boss Zheng, this is really an extortion scam. Zhou Litao said with feeling.

Such an obvious extortion scam, and you don't even know? Su Yun still wore a look of disdain, You're an accomplice and still don't know—how many times have you been deceived?

"" Zhou Litao was retorted into a corner, powerless to resist.

Yun Ge'er was right—I didn't see it coming, and it's indeed my fault. But I'm just a doctor; who knows how many strange tricks there are in the jianghu?

The patient indeed had something wrong, but I kept insisting on doing auxiliary examinations. Maybe that counts as meritorious service despite guilt? Zhou Litao thought haphazardly, his train of thought completely thrown off by Su Yun.

That's not right either. Lin Yuan pondered deeply, I saw the driver in the red windbreaker—she was clueless, not knowing what to do. People like that, trying to extort a sum quickly, would probably find it difficult.

Or maybe you've read your books straight into a dog's belly. Su Yun said with disdain.

You! Lin Yuan widened her almond eyes, glaring at Su Yun.

Su Yun didn't care at all, his tone full of teasing: This is just foreplay; the real show comes next, only interrupted by the boss, so that bunch knew they were beat and retreated.

What's the "show meat"! Lin Yuan pursued.

Lawyers, definitely the professional kind. You think extortion is just crying, making a fuss, and threatening suicide? That's old-school; nowadays extortion aims for high-tech, sophisticated methods. Su Yun explained professionally.

Zheng Ren suddenly had a dark thought—if Su Yun got bored playing around in the hospital and went to extort or cause medical disturbances, how many hospitals would just have to pay out and be done with it.

It seems not much less than what I'd earn from doing surgery myself.

Um, not long ago, there was said to be a van that repeatedly extorted nearly thirty times in a few months, a clean sweep. Each time they settled privately, extorted a sum, and that was it. Zheng Ren nodded, agreeing with Su Yun's statement.

That's studying traffic law down to the bone. Su Yun said, It's about seizing on some motorists' careless driving to squeeze them.

But… Lin Yuan didn't understand.

If they don't pay, fine—just go to the repair shop, which is his family's, do a random inspection, and that's the real "show meat". Su Yun cut off Lin Yuan's words to explain to her.

This isn't even that vicious. Zhou Litao swallowed, Two or three years ago, when drunk driving was still common, right after the strict drunk-driving regulations were issued, someone seized this business opportunity.

Business opportunity… Lin Yuan wasn't in the country then, so she had no idea. But she completely failed to grasp Zhou Litao's words.

It really is a business opportunity. Su Yun laughed, At night we send people to stake out hotel entrances, even hotel staff and greeters join in. When we see someone who's drunk get behind the wheel, we notify our accomplices. That side then drives straight into them.

Simple, brutal, doesn't matter who's at fault. Worst case, we call the police—this type likes to call the police. Zhou Litao said, In the end, the drunk-driving side almost always backs down and pays a large sum to settle.

"" Lin Yuan hadn't expected there to be so many sinister tricks.

Later, drunk driving became rarer, and that crew vanished without a trace. Zheng Ren said, Come to think of it, Su Yun is right—if I hadn't shown up, their lawyer would probably have arrived soon.

Lawyer… Zhou Litao already faintly saw what was about to happen before his eyes.

Yes, the patient's family doesn't deal with you; instead, the lawyer steps in, firmly taking the patient away—how are you supposed to write the medical record on your side? Su Yun asked.

Write what you see. Zhou Litao spoke frankly.

Yeah, they're experts at medical appraisal; even without objective exam proof for some things, they can't resist playing the sympathy card. I reckon there'll be a bunch of self-media types later waving flags and shouting, and once someone pushes against their bottom line, public opinion won't be able to take it.

Zhou Litao felt relieved; if that were the case, although he wasn't in the eye of the storm, he'd still be affected.

As for lawyers, they naturally pretend to be confused while knowing full well, distancing themselves from this gang of jianghu folks. Or perhaps there's no relation at all—just cooperation, plain and simple.

Everyone knows what's going on, but they absolutely don't communicate with each other. Su Yun laughed, That's what they call tacit understanding. Still, lawyer fees are high, and the extortionists don't want to hire lawyers, so they rush to settle things.

Then why don't they just hire their own lawyer? Lin Yuan asked.

Hey sis, is your head stuffed with walnuts? Su Yun spat, There are so many banners outside; now it's gone from cracking down on black to sweeping black, already at the stage of deep digging—who would dare get close to that gang?

""

Lin Yuan was furious, yet unable to rebut.

Even overt collusion, or doing things specially, is something nobody dares to do. Going through normal procedures, everyone tacitly understands—it's enough. Su Yun said, Absolutely no one will be caught with a handle.

But…

You're just a contrarian; why don't we form a team? I and the boss will handle the design, you handle the questions, and within three days we'll definitely have a standard plan worked out. Su Yun said with disdain.

You guys do it; I'll stay out of it, I still have surgery to do. Zheng Ren laughed and said.

Lin Yuan was speechless; these matters felt so distant to her, as if they belonged to another world.
