"How could there not be? I don't believe it! You're all fake! You're deliberately lying to me! I don't believe it!"
Inside the hospital, Zhang Li stared in disbelief at the test results in her hand and started shouting.
"The doctor clearly said I have heart disease! I've been taking medication for two years, how can you say I'm not sick? Incompetent doctors! You're all incompetent doctors!"
This time, Officer Yang finally sensed something was wrong: "Which doctor said you have heart disease?"
Zhang Li immediately fell silent.
"Anyway, I definitely have a heart condition. Your machines here are too bad to detect it."
The doctor standing nearby laughed in exasperation: "We are one of the best hospitals in the country, and all these machines are the most advanced technology available. How dare you question us? Go ◈ Nоvеlіgһт ◈ (Continue reading) see a doctor somewhere else! We can't treat you here."
He then waved his hand, signaling Officer Yang to quickly take his men away.
He'd encountered these kinds of charlatans before, especially those who tried to escape punishment by feigning illness after committing crimes; doctors had dealt with them before.
Therefore, he had no desire to waste his breath on such a person.
"Could this old lady have been scammed?"
A voice came from the doorway of the examination room.
Officer Yang looked up and met Xiao He's emotionless gaze: "Wasn't there a case that caused quite a stir a while ago? I think it was the substandard drug incident at Kemingen Company, right? That case isn't over yet. If another case of counterfeit drugs harming people happens now, the impact will be significant."
“I also feel that she wasn’t lying; she really was deceived by some so-called 'doctor.'” Officer Xiao Ye weakly agreed from the side. “If this is a case within a case, then it just happens to coincide with the substandard drug case from a while ago.”
It's not that the two cases are related, but the substandard drug case had a huge impact recently, and now this fake drug case has emerged. Even if the two cases were originally unrelated, the successive scandals involving drug safety indicate that there must be significant regulatory issues involved, which will definitely stir up another wave of public opinion.
Some people's positions might be affected and they might be forced to move—but the troubles of big shots are not something these small fry can worry about.
Officer Yang rubbed his temples, feeling a bit of a headache.
The problem is that this is a case within a case; before one case is resolved, another one emerges.
That's beyond their control.
“In recent years, there have been frequent news reports that some scammers specifically target elderly people living alone, going to their homes to act as their sons and daughters, making the elderly happy, and then using this as an opportunity to market their own company’s drugs or other health products.”
Xiao He stared at Zhang Li, his eyes deep and mysterious, carrying a chilling pressure: "You didn't encounter this situation too, did you?"
Zhang Li's expression changed slightly as she thought of her "son." But years of trust had blinded her; in her eyes, her "son's" group were the good people, while the people in front of her were the liars and villains!
This guy, whoever appeared out of nowhere, dared to slander their feelings like that! He deserves to die!
Zhang Li was about to retort when she met Xiao He's gaze, but inexplicably changed her tone: "Okay, it seems that's true..."
The young man's eyes seemed to have a magical power, stimulating Zhang Li's previously sluggish mind and making her more alert.
Suddenly, Zhang Li came to her senses.
She suddenly remembered that she had bought many things from her so-called good son, most of which were medicine for heart disease and medicine for her father-in-law—she had stopped giving her father-in-law the hospital medicine two years ago and had mostly bought it from her good son.
Although the medicine didn't have much effect on the old man, his heart disease has never flared up over the years. When others see her, they say she doesn't look like someone with heart disease; she has strong blood circulation and is very healthy.
In fact, she has spent more than 500,000 yuan on her eldest son over the years, using her and her husband's monthly pensions.
In an instant, Zhang Li shuddered violently.
That's over 500,000!
They had already been swindled out of most of their money by their biological son, and now their fake son had tricked them out of more than 500,000 yuan!
They were completely penniless!
Otherwise, Zhang Li wouldn't have gone so far as to deliberately use the old man's life to extort money for medicine to treat his "heart disease."
She was forced into this situation and had no other choice!
The next moment, Zhang Li's body went limp, and Officer Yang quickly helped her up: "What happened now?"
"Waaaaah—"
However, before he could finish speaking, Zhang Li suddenly burst into tears, her sobs appearing much more genuine than before. She grabbed Officer Yang's sleeve and cried out, "Officer, you have to help me!"
Officer Yang: ?
"Waaah, I've been scammed by that damned liar! He said he had some medicine that could cure heart disease, and he tricked me into buying it! But this old woman of mine has no money left! That's why I'm resorting to this desperate measure, trying to trade my life for his!"
"Waaah, what am I going to do now—"
Officer Yang: ...
Officer Xiao Ye: ...
doctor:......
The doctor rolled his eyes: "Cure heart disease? How come I didn't know about something so amazing?"
After saying that, he realized that what he said was inappropriate as a doctor, so he immediately coughed lightly and said, "Anyway, we have already confirmed that this lady does not have any heart problems. As for the rest, please leave and take care of it yourselves."
Don't block him here; he has other patients to see.
Hearing the doctor's words, Zhang Li cried even harder.
Officer Yang felt bad about continuing to delay the doctor's work, so he quickly signaled to Officer Ye, and the group helped Zhang Li out of the examination room.
After finding a relatively quiet and private hospital room, Officer Yang took advantage of Zhang Li's emotional turmoil to press her for details about the case.
For some reason, Zhang Li, who used to be stubborn, suddenly became very talkative and answered all questions. She told Officer Yang almost everything he asked in detail.
“I really thought that person was a doctor. He was very good to me and my grandfather. Over the years, he was the only one who was willing to visit us on holidays and help us tidy up the house and do some housework.”
"He brought out some kind of machine and said I had a heart problem, and even took me to their hospital for a checkup—"
"Wait, tell me where their hospital is?"
"It's located at No. 2, diagonally opposite the XX Central People's Hospital."
Officer Yang's expression turned serious.
This even involves unlicensed clinics!
"Go on."
"At first I didn't quite believe it, until around that time I suddenly felt angina, which scared me so much that I called the doctor to come and check me. He said that my heart disease had suddenly worsened and a small tumor had grown. If I didn't get treatment in time, my life would be in danger."
"Okay, continue."
“I was terrified at the time, but the surgery was too expensive, and I simply couldn’t afford it. Then the doctor said that their hospital had recently developed a new drug that could shrink tumors painlessly by cutting off their nutrition and causing them to fall off automatically.”
Officer Yang: ...
There are too many things to complain about, I don't know where to start.
