At around 7:30 in the evening, Yu Zhiming finally met the big liar in an interrogation room of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, accompanied by Qing Ning and Wei Hao.
Yu Zhiming looked at the big liar named Ge Ping in front of him.
He is forty-five years old, of medium height, neither fat nor thin, with an oval face, but very ordinary facial features. He has an ordinary face, the kind that you can't even find in a crowd.
Yu Zhiming had met this man twice, at Huguangshanshe and Yiyuan Restaurant, but he found that his appearance at this time was obviously quite different from before.
I can only vaguely see some familiarity.
Yu Zhiming couldn't help but whispered to confirm, "Officer Wei, is this what he really looks like?"
Wei Hao nodded gently and said, "It's the real look, there's no modification on the face."
After a pause, he continued, "His main job is a film and television makeup artist, and he's quite famous in the industry."
She's just a film and television makeup artist?!
To be honest, Yu Zhiming was a little disappointed with this answer.
It should be the style of a disguised successor from some hidden martial arts school.
Yu Zhiming met Ge Ping's gaze and asked, "I'm already here. Can you tell me why you want to see me?"
Before the other party responded, he couldn't help but ask again: "Logically speaking, I have no ill will towards you. I didn't expose your scam on the spot during the conch pearl incident."
"Why did you later find someone to impersonate me and commit fraud?"
Ge Ping withdrew his gaze from Yu Zhiming and said, "I didn't specifically target him. I just happened to see that guy who looks very similar to you, Doctor Yu, and I decided on this on a whim."
Yu Zhiming thought so too.
It is not easy to search the whole world for someone who looks like him.
Ge Ping continued slowly, "Also, I've never had a good impression of doctors and hospitals, especially so-called famous doctors."
"I stumbled upon that young man by accident, and thought I could trick you, who was so famous, so I just casually devised a trap."
Yu Zhiming grinned and asked, "Have you ever been cheated by a doctor?"
Ge Ping was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Sixteen years ago, my mother was seriously ill. I used my connections and gave her a red envelope to find a so-called famous doctor to treat my mother."
"The doctor's diagnosis is that I need a heart bypass surgery, and the surgery fee is 120,000 yuan."
"At the time, I was poor and had no money, so I asked the doctor to perform the surgery first. I will definitely pay back the money."
"I knelt down, but the doctor still said coldly that I had to pay before I could have the surgery."
"That afternoon, I committed my first fraud in my life. I swindled a businessman out of 120,000 yuan to pay for my mother's surgery."
Hearing this, Yu Zhiming felt a little heavy.
Blame the doctor for being cold-blooded and heartless?
More than ten years ago, the hospital's policy was that you had to pay first before you could have surgery, and the doctor had no ability to change this.
Doctors pay for surgery on behalf of patients?
A doctor may be able to handle one or two patients, but if he has to face so many patients, he simply cannot bear it and can only become hard-hearted.
Yu Zhiming sighed to himself.
Ge Ping continued, "My mother's surgery went relatively smoothly, but recovery after the surgery will cost a lot of money."
"Having tasted the sweetness, I have no choice but to continue cheating."
At this point, Ge Ping chuckled and said, "I've discovered that I'm quite talented in this area, and I succeed every time."
"Of course, there is still a sense of guilt."
“So, I set rules for myself.”
"One is to only defraud the rich; the other is to donate half of the proceeds to help those struggling families who can't afford medical treatment."
Ge Ping met Yu Zhiming's gaze again and asked, "Doctor Yu, I guess you recognized me by my voice?"
Yu Zhiming nodded and said, "Indeed, I am quite gifted in sound perception."
Ge Ping uttered a soft "oh" and continued, "But, in that video where I was raising money for the poor kids, I clearly changed my voice, didn't I?"
Yu Zhiming smiled gently and said, "Everyone's voice, whether loud or soft, or even deliberately changing it, is the same organ that produces the sound. The most basic thing remains unchanged."
"For me, seeing the essence through phenomena is a very easy thing, as easy as drinking water and eating."
Ge Ping nodded and said, "I understand. I was careless. I didn't deserve to be caught this time."
He sat up straight again and said solemnly, "Doctor Yu, whether you believe it or not, I posted the video to raise funds for that child out of kindness, not to scam people."
"If possible, I'd like to ask Dr. Yu to help him. It would be truly pitiful for a six-year-old boy to never see the world again."
Yu Zhiming watched the fundraising video carefully.
The six-year-old boy's parents are migrant workers.
They found out that their son was born with poor eyesight and his vision was gradually deteriorating, so they took him to a large hospital for examination.
After visiting several hospitals, it was finally diagnosed as a hereditary retinopathy caused by a mutation in the gene fragment RPE65.
This is a rare genetic disease.
Novartis, an international pharmaceutical giant, has developed a gene therapy drug for this disease.
The treatment involves injecting a healthy RPE65 gene into the patient's eyes, introducing it into the patient's retinal cells to replace the diseased gene, thereby improving or restoring vision.
Although this drug has good therapeutic effects, it is extremely expensive.
One dose of the drug costs over $400,000. Two doses for both eyes would cost $900,000.
Ge Ping pleaded again, "Doctor Yu, with your connections and influence, it shouldn't be difficult to raise several million dollars."
"You've experienced firsthand what it's like to be blind. That child is only six years old. It's truly pitiful."
Yu Zhiming pondered and said, "I'll have someone investigate. If what you said in the video is true, I will do my best to help that child."
Ge Ping smiled and said, "Doctor Yu, go ahead and investigate. I absolutely did not tell a single lie."
Yu Zhiming remained silent and asked, "You asked me to come here just for this?"
Ge Ping nodded and said frankly: "It is this matter. Although I was arrested, I also hope that it can be resolved with a good beginning and a good end."
"I've thought about it. Among all the people I know, you, Doctor Yu, are the only one who has the ability and the kindness to help that child."
Yu Zhiming couldn't help but roll his eyelids.
Ge Ping sighed softly, "Actually, I understand. My mother didn't blame the doctor when she had the surgery."
"He has no other choice."
"That was the national regulation back then. Even now, many people still can't afford medical treatment."
Qing Ning suddenly interrupted and asked, "How is your mother now?"
Ge Ping said solemnly, "He passed away more than three years ago."
The interrogation room was silent for a moment.
After a moment, Yu Zhiming stood up and said, "Qing Ning, let's go."
"Wait a moment."
Ge Ping called out to Yu Zhiming again and said, "I still clearly remember the first person I cheated."
"He looked to be in his forties, with a very kind face. Although he was dressed uncommonly, he treated me with courtesy."
"For all these years, the only thing that made me feel deeply guilty was him. After that, I took advantage of the arrogance and greed of the rich and took the bait wherever they were willing."
"Only with him did I actively deceive him."
"Um, Doctor Yu, could you do me another favor and find that person?"
Yu Zhiming looked at Wei Hao standing beside him and said, "Finding the victim should be the job of the police, right?"
Wei Hao smiled bitterly and said, "With just a name and a portrait drawn from memory, finding someone from sixteen years ago is as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack."
As he spoke, Wei Hao opened the folder in his hand and handed over a sketch.
Yu Zhiming took the sketch and saw that it was a handsome uncle who looked very kind.
To his surprise, the portrait felt very familiar.
However, the name written under the portrait is Lü Hong.
"Qingning, look at this portrait, what do you think?"
Qing Ning glanced at the portrait and blurted out, "Hey, why does he look so much like my dad..."
A few minutes later, Qing Ning called Gu Changxuan.
Pressed the hands-free button again.
"Dad, let me ask you something. Sixteen years ago, were you scammed out of one hundred and twenty thousand yuan?"
The next moment, Gu Changxuan's voice came from the phone.
"What a joke! Who told you that?"
"Your father is a wise and powerful man, intelligent and insightful. When has he ever been cheated by anyone? Don't even think of cheating a single dollar out of me, let alone 120,000 yuan."
Qingning pursed her lips and said "oh".
Then Gu Changxuan continued on the phone: "I took the initiative to give away the 120,000 yuan."
Hearing this, Ge Ping stood up from his seat and asked excitedly, "The 120,000 yuan that was given away?"
"Of course it was sent."
"At the time, I was in the hospital discussing business, and I saw the young man kneeling down and begging the doctor to perform surgery in order to save his mother."
"Later, I saw that young man again in the hotel lobby, and he even came over to me and tried to get close to me."
"That scam was very crude, but I knew why he cheated me out of 120,000 yuan, so I pretended not to see through it."
"Hey, who are you?"
"Also, Qing Ning, how did you know this? I don't remember telling anyone else about this."
At this moment, Ge Ping was already in tears.
"May I ask, benefactor, what was the name you left behind?"
"The name I left is Lü Hong, which is almost the same as my lover's name."
"Hey, who are you..."
Nearly twenty minutes later, Yu Zhiming and Qing Ning drove away from the Municipal Public Security Bureau.
Qing Ning sighed and said, "Zhiming, tell me, how does my dad feel right now?"
"A momentary act of kindness created a great liar."
As Yu Zhiming drove, he whispered, "Who could have imagined something like this?"
“It’s good if it’s done out of kindness.”
Qing Ning hummed lightly and said, "Regarding the little boy with poor eyesight, Ning'an Group has a charity support fund. I can contact them. It shouldn't be a big deal."
Yu Zhiming pondered for a moment and said, "Qing Ning, I now have a house, a car, a girlfriend, and I make a lot of money."
"But some people in society cannot afford to see a doctor."
"I think we can donate some money..."
Qing Ning's eyes lit up, and he roared, "Zhi Ming, how about we take it a step further? For example, set up a charity fund?"
Yu Zhiming grinned and said, "Establishing a foundation, managing it, and raising funds are all very troublesome."
"I don't have the time or energy for that."
Qing Ning chuckled and said, "Just put your name on it. The fund management can be entrusted to others, or let professionals be responsible."
"With this fund, you can not only help more people, but it will also facilitate your future medical research..."
Just then, Yu Zhiming's stomach growled.
"Qing Ning, let's discuss the foundation matter in detail. Let's go to the buffet first."
"I feel like I could eat a whole pig right now..."
