Chapter 520: Chapter 319: Youthful Jianghu

Sha City, a certain hospital.

This was already the third day of the siege.

Unlike the bustling days of the past, now the hospital entrance was crowded daily only with onlookers seeking excitement.

What’s more infuriating was that the people guarding the entrance even turned Liu Xiangfeng’s deeds into a flyer, handing them out to anyone who came by.

If this had happened in the past, no one would dare to imagine that their hospital would suffer such an embarrassing incident.

Such actions were no different from challenging local authority, at any time they could be arrested en masse on the pretext of inciting public disturbances.

The hospital staff were in a state of panic.

The ordinary nurses were still able to go to and from work as usual, but not the higher-ups like the president and vice president.

People were preventing them from fleeing.

The hospital had no business left; the people outside were watching the excitement, and so were those inside.

“Director Liu has been arrested, and we’ve been blocked for three days now. Just what kind of background does that old lady have?”

“He’s doing this, and yet not a single leader steps up to arrest him.”

“I just went down to buy something, and those people were all staring at me. I thought I had committed some unspeakable atrocity.”

A young nurse weakly said from in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows on the rooftop. She had just arrived, didn’t understand many things, and the next thing she knew, this dramatic scene unfolded.

Needless to say, her heart trembled with fear.

“Are we just going to watch him surround us like this indefinitely?”

“Why doesn’t our president call the police?”

“You must be joking, this isn’t something that calling the police can solve!”

The head nurse also came over and whispered softly, “Director Liu is definitely finished, we don’t know how many more from our hospital will follow him in. The background of that old lady is really quite astonishing.”

The young nurse asked curiously, “Don’t all the important people who come to our hospital stay in the special care wards?”

“The trouble lies right there.”

The head nurse shook her head, “That woman didn’t want people to know about her grandson. She didn’t reveal her identity before coming here, and Director Liu treated her like a pig for slaughter, resulting in the scene you see now.”

“But they can’t just surround our entire hospital like this; who’s going to come here to get treatment now?”

“Get treatment? Whether our hospital can even continue to operate is the bigger issue.”

The head nurse said, “If it were ordinary people mobilizing so many to surround our hospital, the leaders would’ve been arrested immediately. Being able to surround us for three days already shows extremely powerful backing. That old lady’s grandson is no ordinary person.

“He’s the founder of Tengying Group, a famous entrepreneur both domestically and internationally. His charitable contributions in our province alone are nearly ten billion. Now that such an incident has occurred with his grandmother, and our hospital indeed has major problems, who dares to take the lead in arresting him? The supervisory group would probably swoop in immediately.”

“How do you know all this, head nurse?”

The head nurse was just a working-class employee, not involved in treatment, only in patient care.

She hadn’t received any benefits related to the likes of Liu Xiangfeng, and so she spoke freely about gossip.

New novel 𝓬hapters are published on freёwebnoѵel.com.

In the current situation, no matter how much the president urged in the work group not to discuss these matters privately.

It was useless now.

Everyone understood that Liu Xiangfeng was just the beginning.

The next one to go in might be his father-in-law, the president.

Then his daughter, who owned dozens or even hundreds of apartments.

Not one of them was innocent.

“You think none of them has relatives among us?”

The head nurse gave her a disdainful look, “We’re all from Southern Province, ask anyone and you’ll find a whole crowd related to them. One nurse’s own sister is among them, and she said that our hospital has offended their big boss this time. The big boss has taken real action, and no one’s influence can help.

“Unless a group gets arrested, he definitely won’t withdraw, and the higher-ups can’t handle it, so they’re just trying to keep things quiet as much as possible.”

“They’re all getting paid three thousand a day for participating in this. It might seem simple to surround a hospital, but to be able to do so for so many days without dispersal, there must be major games being played behind the scenes, and that’s not something we can discuss.”

The new nurse spoke righteously, “Director Liu is to blame for being too greedy; to make money, he completely disregarded other people’s lives.”

Naive, as if it were only his fault.

The rot goes all the way to the root. Otherwise, how could Liu Xiangfeng have worked here for over ten years, rising step by step to chief physician?

The thought of such a person becoming the president in the future, can you even imagine it?

It wasn’t just the hospital staff who were panic-stricken.

Even the workers from Fei Yangyang outside the hospital were equally agitated.

They were all receiving the best care, and Tengying Group had plenty of businesses here aside from just Fei Yangyang.

Like Bobo Milk Tea, Antler Coffee, Xin Teng Live Streaming, Tengsheng Fruits, and so on.

In the sweltering heat, guarding this place every day was quite exhausting.

Thankfully, there was a constant supply of milk tea and cold drinks being delivered to them.

And they were also getting paid three thousand a day.

The key was that everyone felt they were doing something very righteous.

Their hearts were continuously filled with the endless dreams of their youth.

Who wouldn’t want to shout out against the injustices of the world in their youth?

Now the opportunity had come.

With the big boss backing them, what was there to fear?

Every day, countless victims emerged from the hospital; when they had made a fuss in the past.

This side treated them like pesky flies, shooing them away, with no one to turn to for help.

And no hope of winning a lawsuit.

How could an ordinary person win against those powerful figures?

But now, they had provoked an even more powerful figure.

Now everyone had a patron, the first day was watchful waiting, the second day still watching.

On the third day, everyone was still there, unwavering.

Even the police didn’t arrest anyone; they were just maintaining order at the scene.

It was clear to everyone that they had offended someone with connections reaching high into the heavens.

They wouldn’t stop until they had thoroughly investigated this private hospital from top to bottom.

Even the people behind it were not going to be spared.

Chen Pingsheng’s foundations in Southern Province were too weak; his connections were mostly in the upper echelons.

He hardly knew anyone at the lower levels, so he could only wait for these victims to come to him voluntarily.

Then, he had to pry open Liu Xiangfeng’s mouth.

So he could get more useful information, or perhaps even create a breakthrough from Sir Shan’s side.

The key was whether he could withstand the pressure and hold out long enough.

On May 24th, Chen Pingsheng went to see Liu Xiangfeng.

He only said one sentence.

Speak up.

Chen Pingsheng could still leave a shred of dignity to his elderly, rural parents.

If he didn’t speak, all the comforts his parents now enjoyed in the countryside would vanish into thin air.

Liu Xiangfeng turned out to be a dutiful son.

He had provided his parents with the best care in the countryside and even built them the biggest house; Liu’s parents were not from Southern Province but from another province instead.

With his power, Chen Pingsheng could easily look into it.

This was also the last chance he was giving Liu Xiangfeng.

The sins should not befall the parents.

If Liu Xiangfeng still harbored any hope of luck, Chen Pingsheng had a hundred ways to strip his parents of everything immediately, to turn the envied elderly couple into outcasts, scorned by everyone in their neighborhood.

Liu Xiangfeng was shocked, his body trembling non-stop.

Others had already told him that the person in front of him had surrounded the hospital for a full five days.

And still could visit him normally.

This power clearly wasn’t something Sir Shan could resolve.

If he could have, those two thousand people would have withdrawn on the first day.

Sooner or later, they would probably investigate his father-in-law’s head, or even whether Sir Shan would go to prison was a huge question mark.

He had really screwed up this time, despite their utmost caution in these affairs.

Their biggest fear was offending some influential figure one day.

And then there would be no “after that.”

But if he hadn’t done it this way, without significantly surpassing his colleagues’ performance, how could he have risen through the ranks?

Or even have married the director’s daughter.

Chen Pingsheng didn’t speak much, but his words carried exceptional weight.

Confess his problems, and he could preserve the last bit of dignity for his parents back in their hometown in another province.

If he didn’t confess, Chen Pingsheng would immediately arrange for someone to spread the news there.

Even investigating whether his family’s money was illegally obtained.

Once it was found out, everything would dissipate like smoke.

Years of effort would be annihilated overnight.

“Stop, I’ll talk,” he said.

The man truly was a filial son.

How ironic.

Chen Pingsheng left, behind him a crowd of stunned people.

Soon after, the director also came in.

The assets he had personally embezzled were simply unimaginable.

The local revenue had invisibly increased by over a billion, just from a director earning up to such extent.

You tell me, could any of his patients really get better?

The pit was dug deeper and deeper, and the people brought out were one after another.

As the snowflakes fell, there wasn’t a single innocent one among them.

May 27th.

The seven-day siege on the hospital was finally declared over.

And it was Chen Pingsheng himself who announced the end.

In seven days, from Liu Xiangfeng to the director.

All the way down to his entire management team, countless were taken in.

You think it’s all over?

It was just the calm before a much bigger storm.

The real tempest was about to arrive.

To Chen Pingsheng, every person in this hospital was just a chess piece.

It’s the people manipulating them, callously making money, who were the real chess players.

They were also the ones he aimed to strike at relentlessly.

This top private hospital was effectively finished.

When its reputation soured, the whole city would abandon it like an old shoe.
