Guilt, self-blame, anger at being betrayed by a friend, and humiliation at being misled by a quack doctor—all these emotions were mixed together and needed an outlet.
At that moment, Leader Yang was overwhelmed with anger, rage, and grief, and didn't want to hear anything.
He said resolutely to his longtime friend, "Old Tang, you've disappointed me greatly!"
“I am now filled with regret and self-blame. If I hadn’t trusted you so much, how could I have let him treat my wife’s illness? How could my wife have almost died from poisoning?”
"From now on, I'll pretend I don't have you as a friend!"
After a pause, Leader Yang said through gritted teeth, "And—"
"Zhou Yi, I will not let him get away with this!"
Leader Yang is not a ruthless killer, and he is usually very tolerant of his servants. However, the doctor who treated his wife did not even know how to distinguish the most common medicinal herbs!
Without even a medical certificate, how did Zhou Yi dare to treat his wife? Was it just to curry favor with the powerful and wealthy and leverage his personal connections?
ridiculous!
dream!
Don't even think about it!
After saying his last sentence, Director Yang angrily hung up the phone.
Oh no, Old Yang won't listen to anything now!
Hearing the dial tone, Director Tang's heart sank to the bottom: "Mrs. Yang almost died from poisoning because of the wrong prescription from Zhou Yi, how could this happen...?"
"That's impossible!"
"Absolutely impossible... No, I have to find out what's going on right away."
Tang initially considered calling Lao Yang back, but upon reflection, he realized that Lao Yang no longer trusted him, and calling back might only add fuel to the fire.
Leader Tang quickly opened the drawer and swallowed a nitroglycerin pill.
Although Zhou Yi has cured his body, it's better to be safe than sorry.
Remembering what Lao Yang said before hanging up, Boss Tang quickly called Zhou Yi.
When the phone rang, Zhou Yi was already waiting outside the airport. Judging from the flight time, Shen Bingyan's plane was about to land.
Just then, Zhou Yi received a call from Boss Tang: "Godfather, what's the matter calling at this hour?"
Tang's voice was grave as he spoke over the phone: "Zhou Yi, where are you right now?"
"Did you know that Mrs. Yang is in trouble?"
"I just heard Old Yang say that the medicine you prescribed was wrong, causing Mrs. Yang to vomit blood and fall into a coma."
While listening to the phone call, Zhou Yi glanced at his assistant who was on the phone not far away.
Just three seconds before Boss Tang called, his assistant received a call, and his expression changed drastically. He took a few steps away to answer it.
Zhou Yi hadn't noticed anything amiss until now, but upon hearing his godfather's words on the phone, he realized that his assistant was carefully observing his direction while answering the call, as if afraid he might escape.
Zhou Yi felt his mind was in complete chaos, as if everything had piled up at once.
"Godfather, that's absolutely impossible! I can guarantee that the medicine I prescribed is safe and sound."
"My friend is about to get off the plane. After I pick her up, I'll go to the hospital to see what's wrong."
"I need your help to communicate with Leader Yang. I will definitely give him a reply."
Leader Tang sighed across from him, saying worriedly, "Xiao Yi, it's not that I don't want to communicate, but because of your matter, Lao Yang has already severed ties with me."
“I can’t call him now. At this point, he’s not going to listen to anything I say, and any advice I give will only provoke him more.”
"I'm calling to give you a heads-up so you can be mentally prepared."
“I can’t help you while you’re in Kyoto. Besides, Old Yang is furious right now. The more I help him, the angrier he’ll get. Right now… you can only prove your strength on your own.”
Zhou Yi was still on the phone with Boss Tang when his assistant hung up and came over, his attitude completely different from before.
His gaze towards Zhou Yi was icy, as if he were looking at a death row inmate.
"Okay, thank you, godfather, I understand!"
"I'll hang up now," Zhou Yi said politely before hanging up the phone.
He believed his godfather could guess the reason for his polite and courteous manner.
Zhou Yi didn't want to drag his godfather down any further. If his assistant found out that his godfather was tipping him off and told Boss Yang about it, Boss Yang would probably start to overthink things.
Zhou Yi glanced at his assistant without showing any emotion, pretending not to know anything about it: "What's wrong?"
The assistant's gaze swept past his shoulder and landed on the SWAT officers who were walking briskly toward them in the distance.
Yes, the assistant just received a call from his boss, instructing him to keep a close eye on Zhou Yi and prevent him from escaping.
The leadership has already dispatched special police officers to this area.
He stood next to Zhou Yi to prevent Zhou Yi from escaping.
"Ding-dong~"
Just as Zhou Yi was about to turn around to look in the direction his assistant was looking, his phone suddenly vibrated.
Zhou Yi immediately opened his chat app and saw a message from Shen Bingyan: "The plane has landed! I'll be there soon."
Zhou Yi was about to reply to the message when someone forcefully pressed down on his shoulder and violently twisted his hands behind his back.
The phone fell to the ground with a "thud".
“Zhou Yi, we received a report that there is a problem with your prescription, which caused the patient to be poisoned and fall into a coma.”
"Please come with us now."
The special police officers who held Zhou Yi down immediately identified themselves. They were specially trained and easily subdued Zhou Yi, handcuffed him, and then pulled him up from the ground.
Zhou Yi looked at the five or six uniformed SWAT officers in front of him, his expression not changing much. He simply spoke to the officers in a consultative tone:
"I will cooperate with the police investigation."
"But I'm picking someone up here, could you please let me reply to a message?"
The assistant ran over and picked up the phone, which had slid a meter away. He glanced at the chat history and saw that Zhou Yi had not yet sent any messages.
He gave a cold laugh.
Instead of kindly clicking send, he pressed the power button next to the phone, and the screen instantly went black: "What message could be more important than my wife's condition?"
"Zhou Yi, you've been in Kyoto for so many days, and my superiors have certainly done their best to make arrangements for you."
"But you're heartless. Your boss treats you so well, and you don't even know how to repay him."
"They even dared to poison Mrs. Yang!"
"Now, you can explain yourself to the police station."
The assistant was unaware of the details. He had only heard one sentence from his superior on the phone: Mrs. Yang had been poisoned by the medicine prescribed by Zhou Yi, and he was instructed to report on Zhou Yi's movements at any time and keep a close eye on him.
