"The patient is out of danger for now. Don't agitate him. Let him rest well."
The doctor came out and gave him a few instructions before hurriedly leaving. There was a large sweat stain on the back of his clothes, indicating that it had been a very dangerous situation, and they had done their best.
"I'll go," Lu Di's father-in-law said, rushing in with the nurse.
Because only one person was allowed in at a time, Qin Xiaoyu had no choice but to help Lu Di's mother-in-law look out the window.
Lu Di was surrounded by a bunch of instruments, with many tubes inserted. Lu Di's father-in-law leaned down, as if listening.
After a while, he came out with a solemn expression and said to Qin Xiaoyu, "Xiao Qin, Lu Di refused to have the surgery. He said he appreciates your concern and thanks you."
"What? That won't do! I'll go tell them..." Qin Xiaoyu raised her leg to rush into the ward, but was stopped by A Lei.
"Don't be impulsive, we can't upset him now. Let's think of something else. Uncle, calm him down first, and tell him that you want conservative treatment and not surgery." After saying that, A Lei led Qin Xiaoyu out.
"What kind of bullshit working group is this! I'm going to find them!" Qin Xiaoyu's anger hadn't subsided, and she found a scapegoat.
Unexpectedly, a punching bag was delivered right to her door. The store called and said someone wanted Qin Xiaoyu to go to the city to assist with an investigation.
"With your fiery temper, just bear with it for now. Let's get down to business." A Lei was worried that she might suffer a loss.
"Could you tolerate this if you were in my shoes?" Qin Xiaoyu retorted without hesitation.
"No," A Lei replied sullenly, and this time he went upstairs with Qin Xiaoyu. They'd face things together.
Upon finding the work group's office, Qin Xiaoyu kicked the door open without even knocking.
There were three men and one woman in the room, huddled together discussing something, when she startled them.
Who are you?
"I am Qin Xiaoyu, the one you're looking for! I've turned myself in. You can investigate, but if you don't find anything today, I'm not done with you! I'll sue you for intentional homicide!" Qin Xiaoyu slammed her bag on the table and pulled up a chair to sit down.
Despite her short stature and the fact that she was sitting down, she exuded a powerful aura. Coupled with the ashen-faced A Lei behind her, everyone in the room was stunned.
"Comrade Xiao Qin, don't get agitated. I am the deputy leader of the working group, and my surname is Li."
"Team Leader Li, do you know that Comrade Lu Di has just been rescued?" Qin Xiaoyu pressed aggressively.
"Oh, I really didn't know that. I didn't realize he was so sick. We only heard he was ill. You know some comrades use illness to avoid medical examinations..."
"You're talking nonsense! Couldn't you check the medical records first? Are you stupid? You came to my house to take a statement without knowing anything. What are you trying to do? This is murder, you know that?" Qin Xiaoyu really wanted to jump up and scratch his face, but A Lei held her shoulder down and wouldn't let her move no matter what.
“We are just doing our normal work, please cooperate and don’t use foul language. You are an educated person…” The woman couldn’t stand it anymore and came over to speak up.
“Yes, I’m educated. I was taught from a young age to be kind and not to do things against my conscience. What did Lu Di do to you? Did he dig up your ancestral graves? Why did you go to his house and try to kill him?” Qin Xiaoyu confronted everyone she met.
"Look at what you're saying, we're just doing our job."
"Official business? What do you mean by official business? What do you mean by personal favors? I think you've lived in vain!" Qin Xiaoyu retorted, leaving the female comrade completely defeated.
"Ahem, Xiao Qin, are you excited?" The voice from the doorway sounded familiar. Qin Xiaoyu turned around and realized it was Qing Xiaoxu.
“This is our team leader, you can talk to her if you have anything to say.”
"There's nothing more to discuss, I understand. Now let me state the facts. First, lending the money was my personal decision and has nothing to do with the company. Second, the money was borrowed, not given away for free. Private lending is not illegal; how much you can borrow depends on your ability. So the bribery you're investigating simply doesn't exist." Qin Xiaoyu never expected Qing Xiaoxu to be so composed, coming to settle scores now.
If that's the case, then Lu Di really did suffer because of Qin Xiaoyu.
"Like I said before, work matters must follow proper procedures. I believe Xiao Qin will abide by the law and cooperate with our investigation. Xiao Li, take them into the inner room to take their statements," Qing Xiaoxu said in an official tone.
These guys were just bullies relying on their master's power; they were already angry after Qin Xiaoyu had just insulted them.
Now that they have the chance, they're going to make things difficult for her. Even a very simple question is asked repeatedly, which makes Qin Xiaoyu so angry that her blood pressure is about to explode.
"You said it was a personal loan, but Lu Di claimed he knew nothing about it. Lu Di's parents-in-law also said they didn't know anything. How did you borrow it?" Team Leader Li seized on this point and kept asking questions.
"Lu Di is so ill, of course his parents-in-law wouldn't talk to him about needing money. They just want him to focus on his treatment. You can come to my house now to get proof that Lu Di's daughter is my goddaughter and is already living with us. As godparents, is borrowing some money for medical treatment a problem?"
"You're borrowing a lot of money, but it's not a small amount," the woman said sarcastically, seizing the opportunity.
"Sister, you're poor, so you get nervous when you see this little bit of money. Please check how much tax Riyue Clothing pays before you talk to me." Qin Xiaoyu knew that if she didn't teach them a lesson, they wouldn't know what was going on.
These words made the woman's face turn red and white, leaving her speechless.
"Then let me ask you again, what is your relationship with Lu Di? There are so many sick people, but I haven't seen you give money to each of them." Team Leader Li said this to A Lei.
“When Lu Di, Sister Zhang, and my husband were visiting a closed factory, they encountered a flood. If Lu Di hadn’t braved the heavy rain and walked for miles to ask for help, my husband might have lost his life. So I’m very grateful to him and voluntarily lent him money for medical treatment. Is there anything wrong with that? Don’t think of people as so despicable. Not everyone’s heart is dirty.” A Lei didn’t mince words.
"Comrade, don't interrupt. This conversation has nothing to do with you. Get out." Team Leader Li, feeling choked up, started nitpicking.
“I came with my partner, so we’ll leave together.” A Lei ignored him.
"She needs to be investigated. You can leave now!"
"On what grounds are you restricting her personal freedom? Do you have an arrest warrant?" A Lei retorted.
"What nonsense are you spouting? She must be investigated!"
"I am a lawyer, and I have the right to stay by my client's side."
The two sides were deadlocked and unable to reach an agreement.
Just then, the people who went out to collect evidence returned with several testimonies.
"Lu Di's daughter, Lu Xiaofei, has indeed been staying at Qin Xiaoyu's house for several days. This is Lu Di's father-in-law's testimony. Qin Xiaoyu voluntarily lent her the money. Because he was asked to keep it a secret from Lu Di, Lu Di was unaware of it."
"Now that you understand the situation, we can go." Qin Xiaoyu stood up, and the work team members really couldn't figure out how to stop her.
