Chapter 219: First, Feelings, Then Reason

Xiao Peng kowtowed three times to the doctor and stood up: "Doctor, can I see my grandpa now?"

The doctor said, "It's best to observe him in the ICU overnight. We'll see tomorrow. But I still say the same thing. If possible, send him to a big city. After all, our county hospital is not well-equipped and the conditions are not that good."

Xiao Peng nodded after hearing this. After thinking for a moment, he turned to Liu Baorong and said, "Rongrong, do me a favor."

Liu Baorong uttered an "ah" and said, "Just tell me what you want to say. Is there anything we brothers can help with?"

Xiao Peng said, "Come over tomorrow morning and help take my grandfather to the city. Don't worry about the expenses! Xiao Pa and Deborah will go with you. They don't know how to handle things in our country."

Liu Baorong waved his hand: "Brothers, why bother talking about money? Leave this matter to me."

Xiao Peng turned to Aunt Li and said, "Aunt Li, there's something else I need your help with."

Aunt Li looked at Xiao Peng. Although she had always heard of Xiao Peng, this was her first time meeting him. Why did he seem so stressful?

"You tell me!" Aunt Li said

Xiao Peng extended his hand to Deborah, who handed him a handbag. Xiao Peng took out 20,000 yuan from it and put it in Aunt Li's hand. "Aunt Li, you've taken care of my grandpa all these years. Could you please take care of him for a few more days? I have something to take care of first, so I can't go and take care of my grandpa right away."

Aunt Li was stunned after hearing this. She looked at the money in Xiao Peng's hand and quickly declined, "Xiao Peng, it's not that serious. We are all relatives and it's only natural to help each other. I can't take this money..." After saying that, she thought for a moment and said, "This money is too much."

Of course she was short of money. Seeing the 20,000 yuan in Xiao Peng's hand, she wanted to take it but she felt uncomfortable.

Xiao Peng stuffed the money directly into his hand and said, "I just came back and didn't exchange much cash. Take this money first. You have to go to the city for a while and won't be able to take care of Wei Wei. Leave more living expenses for her. Wei Wei, I hope you can understand."

Wei Wei nodded and said, "Cousin, you don't have to worry about me."

Xiao Peng hummed and took out his bank card and handed it to Pascal: "Xiao Pa, my money is all in here, do me a favor."

He whispered something in Pascal's ear. Pascal just kept nodding.

Xiao Peng said to Liu Baorong, "Rongrong, apologize to your wife. I'll visit her and her children in a couple of days. Don't publicize what happened today. Oh, and don't forget to arrange a hotel for Pascal and Deborah."

Liu Baorong nodded and said, "Don't worry, what exactly are you going to do?"

Xiao Peng patted Bruch's shoulder and said, "After all, Bruch and I attacked a police officer, so we have to go to the police station to cooperate with the investigation. Aunt Li, don't tell my grandfather about this. Just say I'm busy with work."

"Ah?" Liu Baorong was stunned.

Xiao Peng walked up to the police officer and held out his hands: "Do you need handcuffs?"

"Uh, no need, just come with me!" Zhao Aimin gestured to Xiao Peng and Bruch to follow them.

Xiao Peng and the other man followed the police out.

As they left, an older police officer asked Zhao Aimin, "Old Zhao, how do we handle this?"

Zhao Aimin sighed, "Old Liu, this isn't going to be easy! Do you think he's just an ordinary person? We can only detain him for 24 hours at most. Just let him stay overnight at the police station. Don't bother anyone. Keep him well fed and well-fed. We'll see what happens tomorrow if anything else comes up!"

Old Liu said disdainfully, "Is he as evil as you say? I looked him up. His name is Xiao Peng, from Chushantun. He went to France to work over three years ago and hasn't been heard from since. If he hasn't immigrated to France yet, that means he's not very capable! If he had the talent, he would have stayed there and never come back!"

Zhao Aimin patted Lao Liu on the shoulder. "Old buddy, what era is this? What do you mean by 'if you're capable, stay out there and don't come back'? Look at those foreigners around him. They're clearly centered around him! The guy who just went to the police station with him must be his bodyguard, right? Do you think he's still an ordinary person?"

After thinking for a moment, Old Liu said, "Okay, but we still have to go through the routine procedures. We can't just let him go and not even take care of him. We need to find a few people to interrogate him."

"That's good, it'll make them pay attention to their attitude!" Zhao Aimin reminded.

"I know what to do!" Lao Liu turned around and was about to leave!

"Arrange a better room for them!" Zhao Aimin said again.

Old Liu sighed: "Is this guy a criminal or a boss?"

Zhao Aimin patted Lao Liu on the shoulder and said, "Alright, Lao Liu, stop complaining. You know how difficult our job is. Everyone's eyes are on us now! We have to solve cases quickly but we can't offend anyone or cause public outcry."

The two exchanged glances and sighed together, "Alas. We can't afford to offend any god! What's wrong with Feng Li? Grandpa's in the hospital for emergency treatment. Can't we wait for the results before we say anything? Besides, wasn't it that foreigner who beat people up? Why did he have to take Xiao Peng away? Isn't this just looking for trouble?"

Thanks to Zhao Aimin, Xiao Peng and Bruch did not suffer any punishment in the police station. After interrogation and asking them about what happened, they were put in a small room and left alone. Knowing that they had not eaten, he even gave them some "Kaifeng dishes".

This touched Bruch greatly: "Boss, you Chinese police are so kind!"

Xiao Peng remained noncommittal.

The Chinese people value "emotion and reason". When encountering a situation, they first consider "emotion" and then "reason". Xiao Peng did not understand why this attitude was so good.

He hasn't found any connections yet!

Early the next morning, two people came to the police station. One was a man in his fifties wearing gold-rimmed glasses, and the other was in his sixties with a head full of white hair.

"Are you Mr. Xiao Peng?" the man with gold-rimmed glasses asked Xiao Peng outside the detention room.

Xiao Peng frowned: "Who are you? Isn't this a police station? How can anyone come in? Is this a zoo to see monkeys?"

The man with gold-rimmed glasses hurriedly said, "Mr. Xiao, don't misunderstand me. I'm Zhao Keqiao, the county magistrate, and this is Ding Shouye, the director of the county hospital."

Ding Shouye said, "Mr. Xiao, I have already sent Mr. Wei to the Municipal Hospital by ambulance. The director of the Municipal Hospital is an old friend of mine. Mr. Wei will definitely be well taken care of!"

After hearing this, Xiao Peng quickly said, "Thank you, Dean Ding. How is my grandfather?"

Ding Shouye said, "Mr. Wei is doing well, Mr. Xiao, there's no need to worry. I'm here to thank you on behalf of the county hospital. Your donation of 10 million euros is a real help. We're just a county hospital, and we've always been troubled by funding. I wonder how many patients this money can help!"

Xiao Peng waved his hand and said, "You saved my grandfather, but I can only express my gratitude with money. I hope you don't mind."

Ding Shouye said, "Mr. Xiao, but the money you gave to Doctor Zhang and the others... ahem, it scared them!"
