"Why are you so anxious?" Zhou Ke frowned, and then looked at Li Ergou, who was cowering in fear at the doctor's harsh words: "Don't be afraid, we are here to find out the situation from you, tell us in detail, and tell us everything you know."

"Comrade Public Security, I am just an ordinary person and I don't know much..."

Li Ergou coughed violently a few times before continuing with a shaky breath:

"My family is poor. Ever since I got tuberculosis, the villagers and my family have disliked me. They were afraid that I would infect them with the disease, so they drove me out of the house. I found an abandoned wooden house in the village to live in. Fortunately, I have some carpentry skills, so I can make a living by earning some work points from carpentry."

"I was ready to die at home, but yesterday, a stranger suddenly came to my house and asked me if I wanted to live. If I did, I could pretend to be their brother."

"I'm a little scared and confused, but..."

At this point, Li Ergou's pale lips curled up, and he pursed his lips with a bitter smile, "Who doesn't want to live?"

Zhou Ke's eyes flickered: "So you agreed to them."

Zhou Ke was no longer surprised by the fact that poor people were forced to commit crimes due to the pressure of life.

"Aren't you afraid that they will ask you to do something illegal? Are you so careless?" the doctor continued.

"Rash?" Li Ergou looked at the doctor with a look of indifference, as if he had heard something funny. He said slowly, "I'm almost dead. What else is there to be afraid of?"

"I'm going to die anyway, so if I can get a chance to survive... that's a win for me."

"You...people like you...you are aiding and abetting evil! Do you know that those people yesterday openly threatened people in the hospital lobby? They saved you to harm other people's lives! Don't you feel ashamed?" The doctor glared and pointed at Li Ergou angrily.

At this time, he had completely forgotten his previous thoughts of seeking help from Wei Chunming through the back door, and began to stand on the moral high ground to accuse Li Ergou.

"What are you so anxious about? Are you the police officer or am I? How about I give up my position and let someone else take over, and then you ask?"

Without waiting for Li Ergou to speak, Zhou Kexian glanced at the doctor and said with a smile.

When this man came here with Wei Chunming yesterday, he discovered the eye contact between the two.

Zhou Ke dared to conclude that this doctor was definitely not a good person.

At this moment, seeing the doctor pointing at Li Ergou so righteously, he just felt funny.

If you don’t know, you might think the doctor is a good person.

"Comrade Gong'an, I just couldn't help it. You ask, you ask, I won't interrupt..." Facing Zhou Ke's shrewd gaze, the doctor was startled and said with a wry smile.

Seeing that he understood, Zhou Ke snorted coldly, then turned to Li Ergou and said, "Is that all the information you just said? They really have no other relationship with you? You need to tell the truth!"

"Really not," Li Ergou shook his head, "I'm just an ordinary villager, I've always been honest. If it weren't for this disease, I would have already started a family and a career. How could I have met these people?"

"You can go to the village and ask everything I said."

After hearing what Li Ergou said, Zhou Ke thought to himself that this Li Ergou didn't seem to be lying.

What's more, if he wanted to take revenge on Wei Chunming's family, he would also choose to find a puppet like Li Ergou.

He is seriously ill and in urgent need of treatment, but his family is poor.

If someone offered him an olive branch at this time, he would most likely not refuse this life-saving straw.

"Although this matter has nothing to do with you directly, you indirectly caused Wei Baoshan to delay treatment. So, you are not without any responsibility at all." Zhou Ke looked at Li Ergou seriously and said.

After hearing Zhou Ke's words, Li Ergou's already pale face turned even paler, with a gloomy and desperate expression on his face. "Comrade Public Security, I understand. I shouldn't have had any luck..."

"However," Zhou Ke continued before Li Ergou finished speaking, "Since the hospital's medical expenses have been paid in full, we will wait until you are cured before holding you accountable. Before that, your personal freedom will be restricted in this hospital."

Li Ergou was originally filled with despair, thinking that he would not be able to change his fate of dying of illness. But after Zhou Ke finished speaking, a ray of hope seemed to appear in his heart.

Does he have a chance to survive?

"Comrade Public Security, do you mean that I can stay in the hospital and... get my illness... cured?" Li Ergou asked in a trembling voice.

While asking the question, his fingers curled up unconsciously and clenched the sheets beneath him, as if he was grabbing the last straw.

Zhou Ke nodded heavily, "Yes, you can cure the disease. But you can't escape the responsibility you should bear."

"It's okay, it's okay. I'm already very grateful that I was cured! I...I thank you! Comrade Zhou! You're a very good person. I will definitely be a good person in the future. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to be cured and live... wuwuwu..."

As he spoke, Li Ergou burst into tears, covering his mouth with his hands. Big tears slid down the corners of his eyes and wet the pillow.

Does he want to help others do bad things? No, he just wants to survive.

His biological mother died long ago.

He had promised his mother that he would live a good life in the future and see more of the world on her behalf.

He can't die too early, otherwise his mother won't rest in peace in the underground.

"You take good care of yourself. We're leaving first." Zhou Ke took a deep look at Li Ergou who was in grief, then turned and left the ward.

After Li Ergou recovers from his illness, he will inevitably spend a few years in prison.

But for him, being able to cure his disease is what he wants!
