Chapter 278: Chapter 278 Gamble
He could naturally hear how much he was looking forward to this.
It was precisely because of this that he naturally couldn’t afford any mistakes.
Otherwise, he truly had no way to bear such a responsibility.
So, very soon, he also immediately smiled and agreed.
"Of course, no matter what, we must give him a taste of his own medicine this time; there’s no way he can succeed again like the last few times."
And not long after Huang Haoxiang gave a few more instructions, he finally ended the call.
The moment the phone call was over, his entire body slumped.
He plopped down on the bench nearby.
At this moment, his heart truly felt complicated.
What should he do?
Mainly because he had already sent people to look for traces of the old lady, but despite searching for so long, they hadn’t found any relevant clues.
If she was indeed dead, that would settle it; they could make a fuss about it. Liu Zheng would definitely be condemned by everyone. Furthermore, it would undoubtedly have a significant impact on him.
But currently, the old lady’s life and death were unclear, and they didn’t know her whereabouts, which made it difficult for him.
After pondering seriously for a while, he realized he couldn’t just stay in one place, so he immediately drove home.
But after he arrived home, he felt restless.
Indeed, he couldn’t sleep at all that night.
Facing this situation, he suffered greatly, completely unsure of what to do.
It wasn’t until much later that he fell into a shallow sleep.
But soon, he was jolted awake.
After his phone rang, he picked up the call with lightning speed, eager to find out what new information might come.
The person on the other end of the call was one of his subordinates, who seemed to speak with a hint of helplessness.
"What do we do, Boss? We’ve searched for a long time and still haven’t found any news about the old lady. We have no idea where she could be."
Hearing this, the man in front became even more unsettled.
He had never expected such an outcome.
Considering this, they really couldn’t afford to waste any more time. If they genuinely couldn’t find her, was there no choice left but to take a gamble?
At this moment, such thoughts unavoidably crept into their minds. However, whether they should actually proceed was indeed a question worth pondering.
Because this wasn’t as simple as they imagined; it could involve many complex issues.
Moreover, after the previous incidents, he also realized that Liu Zheng was indeed very formidable. If they truly wanted to deal with him, it might not be so straightforward.
During this time, they also must think carefully about how to ensure the success of their plan.
Even in certain details, they must perform flawlessly.
At this moment, the person on the other end of the line was also perplexed, unsure of how to proceed.
"What should we do, Boss? What should we do now?"
Now that things had progressed to this point, if they continued to wait, they might miss the most crucial moment.
So, in the end, he could only grit his teeth and say,
"We can only take a gamble now. Since the old lady has disappeared, let’s just say she’s had an accident."
"Get a few actors to play her nephew, or distant relatives, or even neighbors will do."
"Perhaps it’s better to have no blood relation at all, considering this old lady seems to have some connection with Liu Zheng’s old flame."
When he said these words, his subordinates knew exactly what they needed to do, nodding without hesitation and agreeing to the plan.
Facing this situation, they would certainly prepare thoroughly.
It was indeed very important to them.
If any mishap occurred, it would be disastrous.
So, they quickly prepared to take action.
Once all the plans were in place, they naturally arrived at the entrance of Liu Zheng’s clinic.
Originally, Liu Zheng had gotten up early to work on his new medication.
But he never expected that at this time, he would suddenly hear a commotion outside.
Hearing this noise, he was indeed very surprised, having no idea what was happening.
He immediately went to the door and opened it, wanting to take a good look and understand the situation.
On closer inspection, he saw several old men and old ladies.
Seeing this scene made him even more puzzled, having no idea why these people had inexplicably come here and what they wanted.
The next second, the people started exclaiming,
"He’s the one who killed our neighbor!"
"Yes, yes, she said she was coming here for treatment yesterday, but she never returned home all night, and the next day we found her dead in her own house!"
"Is there no justice left? How can there be such a quack?!"
"Right, how can there be people like this? In any case, he must pay the price!"
...
Seeing these people, each speaking out in turn, Liu Zheng was simply dumbfounded, not knowing what kind of play they were putting on.
Soon, passersby also gathered around, curious about the situation, and they began asking,
"What does this mean? Someone died? Explain what’s going on."
"Yeah, don’t cry just yet, what happened? Talk it out."
"Could there be some misunderstanding? I’ve often come here for medicine before, and nothing ever went wrong."
"Right, right, and his medical skills are actually quite good."
...
Although the onlookers were very curious about what had happened, some were voicing their support for Liu Zheng.
Since many lived nearby, they would indeed come to his clinic when they were sick.
And each time, his medicine indeed cured the illness.
No matter the problem, it was almost always resolved.
But now, someone was accusing him of causing a death, which was rather terrifying.
Even Liu Zheng himself was very curious.
