From Evil Sect Leader to Doctor

Chapter 751: Chapter 721: You’re Bluffing Me

Xu Chunliang said, "What’s with the knocking? It’s not over yet."

"Are you still not full, damn it!" The guy outside was already losing his temper.

Xu Chunliang said, "Don’t rush, it’s not ready for you yet."

Bang! The guy outside kicked the door open. A tall and stout man resembling a sumo wrestler walked into the bathroom, and was taken aback by the chaos before him.

Xu Chunliang said, "What are you looking at? The police are handling a case here, get out!"

The big guy glared at him fiercely: "Police, so what? Does being a cop give you the right to hog public resources? Where’s your badge?"

Xu Chunliang chuckled.

The big guy came over, pointing at him: "You look like a crook, trying to bluff me? I damn well..."

Xu Chunliang nodded, then suddenly threw a hook punch that struck the man’s jaw like lightning. The man staggered backward, crashing into several onlookers. With just one punch, Xu Chunliang neutralized his threat.

Xu Chunliang lifted his sleeve to wipe his face, cursing, "Dumbass, you sprayed spit all over me."

Two restaurant security guards rushed over at the commotion, both over a hundred years old combined, they were too scared by the scene in the bathroom to approach, urging to call the police.

As soon as the phone was lifted, the police arrived. The guards were puzzled; was the alarm system this smart now? Did the police know what was going on without a word being said?

Liu Qingshan and his partner came over, parting the crowd, entering the bathroom, both stunned by the scene. Liu Qingshan asked, "What’s going on here?"

Xu Chunliang tossed Ma Zhong’s phone to him: "See for yourself, there’s enough in there to keep him locked up for years." He gave Liu Qingshan the password.

The big guy sat up from the floor: "Officer... someone was impersonating a cop..."

Seeing Xu Chunliang standing in front of him, he was scared into silence.

Xu Chunliang made a gesture as if to put his hands in his pockets. The big guy, quick to react, misunderstood and thought Xu Chunliang was going to hit him again, so he quickly lay down and pretended to be unconscious.

Liu Qingshan asked, "What’s with the fat guy?"

Xu Chunliang said, "Obstructing official duties and damaging property, the restroom is his doing."

Liu Qingshan gave a signal: "Take them all back."

As Xu Chunliang was leaving, he spotted Xing Yongqing in the crowd. Seeing him, Xing Yongqing turned to leave. Xu Chunliang mentioned to Liu Qingshan, who told him he could go first and contact him later by phone. Having seen the contents of Ma Zhong’s phone, Liu Qingshan realized it was a major case. Xu Chunliang’s revelation was definitely significant.

Xing Yongqing jogged away from the lobster restaurant, not knowing what had happened. Her only thought was to leave as quickly as possible.

"Xing Yongqing!" Xu Chunliang’s voice came from behind.

Xing Yongqing ran a few steps, then turned around, looking at Xu Chunliang: "Don’t follow me, my business is none of your concern."

Xu Chunliang had no intention of interfering, only showing concern because of her father: "I don’t mean to interfere, but do you know what kind of person Ma Zhong is? What has he been up to normally?"

"I don’t know, and... I don’t care..."

Xu Chunliang said, "Does he have something on you? Is he threatening you?"

Xing Yongqing bit her lip, tears streaming down her face.

Xu Chunliang guessed this was the case, sighed and said, "Don’t worry, the police have arrested him. The evidence is conclusive, he won’t get away this time, you don’t need to be afraid!"

Xing Yongqing squatted down, covering her face and sobbing silently.

Xu Chunliang wasn’t good at consoling her, but he couldn’t just walk away either. Xing Wenhua had sent him mainly to ensure his daughter’s safety. If something happened to Xing Yongqing, it wouldn’t be justifiable. Luckily, Xing Yongjin arrived in time. Xing Wenhua, still uneasy after explaining things to Xu Chunliang, had asked his son to come and check.

Liu Qingshan called, asking Xu Chunliang to bring Xing Yongqing to the station, as they found message records between her and Ma Zhong on the phone.

Seeing Xing Yongqing’s current state, Xu Chunliang felt her mental state was unstable, suggesting she go home first to avoid further distress. They could question her once she stabilized.

Liu Qingshan asked when he could come over. Xu Chunliang told him he had a TV interview to do first, and could only go afterward.

Liu Qingshan didn’t push it. Xu Chunliang had done a great service for the police, and since Ma Zhong was already in custody with concrete evidence, they could begin questioning. There was plenty of work ahead, as many victims were involved, and even verifying identities would take days.

On the way back to the station with Ma Zhong, a call came from someone marked as Sister Lv, and Liu Qingshan handed the phone to Ma Zhong, warning him: "You know what to do. If you speak out of turn, you better be prepared to spend the rest of your life inside."

Ma Zhong grinned, his teeth stained with blood.

Displeased by him, Liu Qingshan slapped him on the head before putting the call on speaker.

A woman’s voice came through the phone: "Ma Zhong, can you talk?"

Ma Zhong glanced at Liu Qingshan, "Go ahead!"

"The money’s been transferred to you. There’s some heat right now, and we need to lay low for a few days. You should arrange for them to go to the livestream base. I’ll let you know when to return."

"Alright!"

The other person hung up the phone. Liu Qingshan coldly looked at Ma Zhong: "Who is Sister Lv?"

"Lv Yumeng, the manager of OMMIA."

Liu Qingshan pondered to himself. It’s OMMIA again. It seems this nightclub really has big issues. It looks like it’s time to report to the higher-ups for immediate action against OMMIA.

Lv Yumeng, the manager responsible for OMMIA affairs, was summoned by the police for questioning. Pan Weidong, having received advance warning, quickly made his way abroad.

Pan Tianhua, the president of He Dong, didn’t leave. At his level, everything had already been pre-arranged. Even if something were to happen, it shouldn’t implicate his son. However, as a precautionary measure, he temporarily arranged for his son to leave for a while.

Liu Qingshan flipped through the dossier and wasn’t in a hurry to ask questions. Lv Yumeng also appeared quite calm.

Both sides spent about five minutes in silence before Liu Qingshan finally spoke: "Do you know why I’ve called you here?"

Lv Yumeng smiled and said, "It’s nothing good anyway. Whatever questions you have, feel free to ask. I promise to cooperate with your work."

"You know Ma Zhong, right?"

"I do!"

"What is your relationship?"

"We’re friends."

Liu Qingshan gave Lv Yumeng a glance: "Anything else? Any business dealings?"

"No, he’s just a small-time thug. We’re not on the same level."

Liu Qingshan laughed: "But from what I know, your relationship seems to be anything but simple."

Lv Yumeng said, "How much credibility does someone like him have?"

Liu Qingshan stopped beating around the bush: "Didn’t he frequently send girls to your place?"

Lv Yumeng said, "Officer, we at OMMIA conduct legitimate business. There’s no illegal activity. Yes, he did introduce some girls to come work, but their work was all legal. Neither I nor our nightclub forced them into any illegal work."

Liu Qingshan said, "Just because you didn’t force them doesn’t mean others didn’t. We found a large number of indecent photos on Ma Zhong’s phone and at his residence. He and his gang used the guise of dating to deceive victims, took the opportunity to take indecent photos, and used these photos for blackmail and coercion."

Lv Yumeng blinked and said innocently, "I truly didn’t know. If I had known, I wouldn’t have had any dealings with such people."

Liu Qingshan’s expression hardened: "Lv Yumeng, you’d better honestly confess your issues." He threw out a transfer record between Lv Yumeng and Ma Zhong: "How do you explain this?"

Lv Yumeng said, "This is normal. If he helps with introductions, there would naturally be a commission, just like a taxi receiving a commission for taking a patient to a designated hospital. It’s an industry secret, everyone does it."

Liu Qingshan said, "Lv Yumeng, I advise you not to argue. We already have most of the victims’ information. You still have time to confess, or else your crimes will be deemed more severe."

"If you want to accuse someone, anything can be a reason. I’m innocent. Ma Zhong is just one side of the story, you can’t just listen to him."

Liu Qingshan laughed: "Alright, then you can go for now and think it over. Your boss is Pan Weidong, right? He already left the country before we started the operation. Don’t tell me he’s on business. Lv Yumeng, let me remind you, this is no small matter, and it involves many levels. The provincial government has already decided to investigate thoroughly. Even if you want to take the blame, you should weigh your own capacity. You can’t handle it."

Lv Yumeng was still smiling, but her smile was evidently a bit stiff.

Liu Qingshan gestured for her to be taken away, then continued questioning Ma Zhong.

Ma Zhong had just come back from the hospital. He was seriously injured, with multiple facial fractures. This was Xu Chunliang holding back; otherwise, he could have beaten him to death in the restroom.

As soon as Ma Zhong came in, he shouted, "I want to sue him!"

Liu Qingshan said, "Sue who?"

"Xu Chunliang, he violently assaulted me, which constitutes a crime of injury."

Liu Qingshan laughed: "Now looking for legal protection?"

Ma Zhong said, "So what? I’m also a citizen, and I’m also protected by the law..."

Liu Qingshan said, "Don’t tarnish the words ’law’. Are you worthy?"

Ma Zhong stared blankly at Liu Qingshan: "I have a medical certificate of injury."

Liu Qingshan said, "It can prove you were injured, but who can prove you were beaten?"

"You..."

Liu Qingshan said, "There’s no surveillance in the restroom, and the floor was quite slippery at the time."

Ma Zhong said, "You’re clearly favoring him."

Octopus was over fifty years old, and his body wasn’t what it used to be. If conditions allowed, he wouldn’t stop updating. He glanced at the comments section and hoped some people could be a bit more considerate in their remarks.
