Seeing that Fang Tao couldn't even utter a complete sentence, Su Ruyi spoke for him:
"This is your brother's account book."
Or, to put it another way, it's evidence that he resold his own specialist appointments.
Furthermore, there is evidence of falsely reporting the purchase of medicinal materials.
Furthermore, there is evidence of receiving a salary without working...
There is much other evidence, but we don't need to list them all, right?
A thin layer of sweat appeared on Fang Tao's forehead: "Comrade Su, please feel free to make any requests. As long as it's within my power..."
"Let him turn himself in!" Su Ruyi said without hesitation.
She took one of Fang Yuan's foot bones, not expecting things to turn out this way—at least not so quickly.
She never expected that Fang Yuan's brother, Fang Tao, would be such an extraordinary person.
She had originally planned that when Fang Yuan finally came to her for help, she would make him turn himself in.
Fang Tao paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "That's to be expected, but... he can't move his legs either..."
“You can carry him there!” Su Ruyi said coldly. “If you want to turn yourself in, you can call the police to your home.”
The oily sweat on Fang Tao's forehead had gathered and trickled down his temples.
"Yes, yes! Comrade Su, you're right!"
Okay, I understand what you mean. I'll go back and talk to that beast in my family properly, and I'll definitely persuade him to turn himself in!
But Comrade Su, can you give me a guarantee?
If he turns himself in, should we return the bone to him?
Su Ruyi, who had been wearing the ring on her thumb, turned it around and said, "Comrade Fang, aren't you very capable of taking things from me? Why don't you take his bones with you?"
Fang Tao, drenched in sweat, said:
"I'm sorry, Comrade Su, I was showing off!"
I can only take one thing that is very important to you...
My brother's foot bone is definitely not something important to you.
Don't worry, I'm not the kind of person who does shady things. I won't secretly take anything from you.
Su Ruyi's heart stirred—was this ring really something very important to her?
However, now is not the time to consider this.
Her face turned cold: "So you're insulting me?"
"No, no, no, Comrade Su, you've misunderstood. I did have some doubts before, but now I know your purpose is to get Fang Yuan to turn himself in. I understand your good intentions. Comrade Su, please wait for my good news," Fang Tao explained again.
Su Ruyi nodded: "Okay. I will return his bones to him—as long as he turns himself in."
"Very good, Comrade Su! Thank you! I am truly grateful for your generosity!" Fang Tao stood up, bowed and scraped for a while, and thanked him profusely before leaving.
Indeed, in his view, Su Ruyi had gone to great lengths to show mercy.
From the moment Su Ruyi pulled out the ledger, Fang Tao knew that Su Ruyi must have a hidden space in her sleeve.
If Su Ruyi were truly ruthless and simply pulled Fang Yuan into her sleeve, never to be released again, then who would be able to find him?
Su Ruyi only took one bone from him, which was already giving him a chance.
...
"This isn't my ledger! It's a copy! This is a fucking copied copy!"
Fang Yuan stared wide-eyed at the ledger in his hand. "Damn it, that little bitch is so ruthless! So vicious! What is she trying to do?"
Fang Tao frowned at him: "Xiao Yuan, there's nothing else to say now—go and turn yourself in."
Fang Yuan incredulously shifted her gaze from the ledger to her brother's face: "What did you say? Brother, did I mishear you, or did you really say I should turn myself in?"
“Xiao Yuan, you heard me right. You should turn yourself in! Comrade Su said that only if you turn yourself in can your foot be restored to normal.”
"Brother, no! Brother, aren't you very capable? Can't you cure me?"
"Xiao Yuan, I'm just a Taoist healer, not a god! You're missing a bone, where am I supposed to go to heal you?"
Fang Yuan was silent for a moment, then looked up again, "Brother, how about..."
He hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.
Weighing the options, if I turn myself in, I'll inevitably face decades in prison, and might even get a life sentence.
If he doesn't turn himself in, his leg will be ruined, and he will never be able to walk again, becoming a cripple.
When faced with two evils, choose the lesser one.
Which one is the lighter one?
This is a fucking hellish choice!
You little bitch, you're ruthless!
Fang Yuan hesitated for a moment before finally saying, as if she had made up her mind, "Brother, saw off my foot!"
"You!" Fang Tao was furious upon hearing this. He raised his hand and slapped Fang Yuan across the face. "What the hell are you talking about!"
Fang Yuan burst into tears: "Brother, think about it, such a huge amount, even if I turn myself in, I'll still get decades in prison! Rather than losing decades of freedom, I'd rather lose a leg. At least then I can still walk on the street with crutches... At least then I can still see you from time to time... I can still take care of you in your old age and see you off when you die..."
"Brother, what did Fang Yuan do? You want him to turn himself in?"
Just then, a hoarse voice came from outside the door.
Fang Tao's face darkened upon hearing the voice.
The person who walked to the door with the sound was a man who looked very much like Fang Yuan.
This is Fang Yuan's twin brother, Fang Hong.
Although they are twins, they are very different in appearance and temperament.
Fang Yuan, being the director of Jinshi Central Hospital, dressed himself up to look presentable.
Fang Hong can only be described in two words—sleazy and despicable.
This Fang Hong has never worked a single day in his life; he has always been involved in speculative and profiteering activities.
Besides reselling Yuan's expert appointments, he also frequents the black market and underground markets, dealing in shady items. He's quick-witted and ruthless, and he lives a pretty good life.
Fang Tao felt annoyed whenever he saw Fang Hong, and his blood pressure would rise.
Fang Hong casually sat down on Fang Yuan's hospital bed: "What's wrong, Yuan? Why did you turn yourself in? What did you do?"
Fang Tao was so angry that his hands were trembling: "Do I need to tell you what you two did?"
Fang Hong squinted, casually picked his nose, and flicked the snot onto the ground: "Brother! We're all in the same boat, you're not any more high and mighty than us! What are you pretending to be!"
Fang Tao was so angry that the veins in his temples throbbed: "Fine. Is this your attitude?"
Seeing that Fang Tao was truly angry, Fang Yuan quickly said, "Brother, Fang Hong is just being immature. Why bother arguing with him?"
Fang Tao felt a wave of weakness wash over him.
What Fang Hong was referring to was the result of his excessive pampering of Fang Yuan from childhood to adulthood.
