Chapter 412 Where is the Fairness?

The police handling the case were also in a dilemma, as Liao Guoqing was indeed quite well-known at the hospital.

Moreover, he has always had a good reputation and treats all patients equally. It has even been reported that he helped a lonely elderly person with their excrement and urine.

However, they couldn't afford to offend Zhou Xiye and Jiang Zhizhi either.

Looking at Liao Guoqing with a slight headache, she said, "Director Liao, how about we have Dr. Jiang apologize to you and then go over there?"

Liao Guoqing, relying on his position of authority, stubbornly refused to agree: "That's definitely not acceptable. If I forgive them like this, they'll become even more arrogant in the future. Dr. Jiang, I've always thought you were a very promising doctor, but I never expected you to be so violent."

"If you act like this as a doctor, what if you get into a conflict with a patient? Wouldn't you end up hitting the patient?"

Just as Jiang Zhizhi was about to speak, Zhou Xiye stopped her and spoke first: "You can investigate the details of this matter. Now I'm taking my wife back. If you continue to pester me, I'll suspect that you deliberately provoked my wife so that she would make the first move."

"I'm going to sue you now for spreading rumors about military families and creating conflict between the military and civilians."

"After all, my wife would never hit someone for no reason, and everyone in our compound can testify to that."

The police officers felt even more troubled when they heard that Zhou Xiye had moved out of the entire compound.

They couldn't afford to offend just the Zhou family, let alone the people in the compound who frequently appeared on the radio.

Liao Guoqing never expected that Zhou Xiye would directly use his power to suppress him!

Compared to him, a poor boy from the countryside, if he really faced someone from the compound, he would definitely be no match for them.

Even if he were right, so what? The leaders certainly don't want to offend the people in the compound.

As for him, to put it bluntly, any crime he could be charged with would be enough to ensure he could never recover for the rest of his life.

After a quick thought, Liao Guoqing's arrogance subsided considerably. Although his tone remained forceful, his voice lowered: "Forget it, Dr. Jiang and I are colleagues, and she's a woman, so I won't stoop to her level."

Jiang Zhizhi was displeased: "What's wrong with being a woman? Don't take it personally, but I'm going to take it personally anyway!"

Just as the police were about to say that both sides could sign and go home, Jiang Zhizhi started making a fuss again, and her head started to hurt again: "Comrade Jiang, you don't have any evidence. As it stands, you did beat him up like this. I think we should just let it go."

Jiang Zhizhi was unhappy, so Zhou Xiye reached out and took her hand, squeezing it gently. Then he looked at the police with a serious expression and said, "We didn't say we'd let it go. I will continue to pursue this matter. I also hope you will do your duty to investigate today's events."

The police nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay, don't worry, we will definitely investigate."

Jiang Zhizhi knew that staying would only lead to a verbal battle with Liao Guoqing, and Jin Huaiying was still in the hospital, so she didn't know what was going on.

He could only glare at Liao Guoqing before signing the mediation agreement.

As Jiang Zhizhi and Zhou Xiye left the police station, she was still angry: "I really hate myself. Why didn't I hit him harder back then and swell up his mouth so he could stop talking nonsense?"

Zhou Xiye, who had just learned what had happened, agreed with Jiang Zhizhi's words: "Next time this happens, just break one of his legs and knock out all his teeth."

Jiang Zhizhi's eyes widened in surprise as she turned to look at Zhou Xiye: "I thought you were going to scold me. Didn't you say fighting was bad before?"

Zhou Xiye smiled gently: "It depends on the situation. If someone is bullying you right in front of you and you don't fight back, then you're just a coward."

Jiang Zhizhi chuckled, "I think so too. But before, Liao Guoqing was still considerate of his reputation and was quite polite to Teacher Jin. I don't know what's wrong with him today. I feel like he did it on purpose."

Although Zhou Xiye didn't quite understand the content of their experiment, he understood people's hearts: "Does he want to get rid of you and replace you all with his own people, so that he can call the shots in the experimental group from now on?"

Jiang Zhizhi exclaimed, "Don't say that, you really are right. After all, the general direction is now decided by Teacher Jin, and he certainly doesn't want to keep listening to Teacher Jin. Besides, he's brought in quite a few people recently."

“He wouldn’t have gone this far before regarding the list of lab technicians. This time it really is excessive. And the things he said were infuriating. He knew exactly what Professor Jin cared about most, and he deliberately said those things.”

She got angrier and angrier as she talked: "I definitely won't let him succeed."

Zhou Xiye comforted her, "There must be a way to solve this. Let's go see Teacher Jin first."

Jiang Zhizhi was also worried about Jin Huaiying, so the two of them rushed to the hospital.

Jin Huaiying has been admitted to a hospital ward and seems to be doing well after taking her medicine.

Seeing Jiang Zhizhi and Zhou Xiye approach, she felt somewhat guilty: "I've dragged you into this today."

Jiang Zhizhi quickly went over and took Jin Huaiying's pulse first. After confirming that his pulse had stabilized a lot, she said, "You must not say that. Liao Guoqing did it on purpose today. He knew I was in the office, so he said those things to upset you."

"He knew I would definitely stand up for him, so he could make a big scene and kick us both out of the experimental group."

Jin Huaiying was somewhat disappointed: "He's still the same as before, scheming! Yet he also knows how to be a good person, so he definitely won't admit what he said, and will instead turn the tables on you."

Jiang Zhizhi nodded: "Yes, but teacher, you don't need to worry. Didn't he want to say that I rely on my background and connections? I'll rely on them this time. I'm going to fight him to the end and I will never let him succeed."

Jin Huaiying shook her head: "You're still too kind. You don't know how vicious he can be."

Jiang Zhizhi was afraid that if she brought up this topic again, Jin Huaiying would get upset, so she quickly changed the subject: "Teacher, don't think too much about it. Just rest well. Our medicine has already entered the experimental stage. As long as I keep an eye on the process, everything will be fine."

Jin Huaiying nodded: "You need to be careful. I'm afraid my body can't hold out for much longer."

Jiang Zhizhi quickly wrote: "Teacher, please don't talk nonsense. I'll prescribe some medicine for you to take care of yourself. You'll definitely get better."

Jin Huaiying smiled and didn't say anything discouraging.

Jiang Zhizhi thought that Jin Huaiying was hospitalized and had no one to take care of him, so she asked Zhou Xiye to watch over him so that he could help her to the toilet, while she would go back and cook something for Jin Huaiying.

Zhou Xiye had no objections, but told Jiang Zhizhi to drive carefully.

After Jiang Zhizhi left the ward, Jin Huaiying looked at Zhou Xiye and said, "Zhizhi is a very smart girl. She will definitely make great achievements in medicine in the future, but... the taller the tree, the more the wind will blow against it. You must be careful not to be framed."

"Liao Guoqing is a deep and cunning man. He is usually kind and has made friends from all walks of life, so you must be careful."

His leg was broken at Liao Guoqing's behest... so he knew very well how venomous Liao Guoqing was!
