Li Hongchan's hands seemed to have a mind of their own. When she flipped through the papers, she even tore them, which was enough to show how scared and panicked she was.
After Li Hongchan had rummaged through the entire document in a hurry, she was already sweating profusely. She slumped down into the dirty water and couldn't get up, just staring blankly at Lu Chuanbai in front of her.
Lu Chuanbai slightly lifted his fingertips and tapped the armrest of the chair rhythmically. The tapping sound sounded like a death knell in Li Hongchan's ears, making her tremble with fear.
"Back then, my mother trusted you so much, but you actually took Wang Chengxiang's money and harmed her. How can you live with your conscience!"
The louder Lu Chuanbai spoke, the more pressure there was in his tone, which snapped the last straw in Li Hongchan's heart.
"I'm sorry. I know I was wrong! Please, Young Master Lu Chuanbai, spare me!"
Li Hongchan knelt on the ground in panic and kept kowtowing to Lu Chuanbai.
The child behind her was so frightened that he burst into tears. He rushed in front of Lu Chuanbai and tried to hit him.
"Bad guy! You're bullying my mom. I'll beat you to death! Beat you to death!"
Before the child could touch Lu Chuanbai, he was grabbed by the collar by the bodyguard and immediately burst into tears in fear.
"Xiao Qiu!"
When Li Hongchan saw her child being held by Lu Chuanbai's men, she instantly collapsed. She crawled crying to Lu Chuanbai's feet and pleaded with him.
"Young Master Lu Chuanbai, I know I was wrong! I really know I was wrong. Please spare my child!"
When Lu Chuanbai heard Li Hongchan pleading for her child, the defense line in his heart crumbled. He bent down and pinched Li Hongchan's face, making her cheeks cave in.
"Did you ever think about sparing my mother's life back then!"
Lu Chuanbai's eyes became even more sinister and venomous. The veins on his forehead bulged, and the force was so great that it seemed he could crush Li Hongchan to pieces.
Li Hongchan's eyes welled up with tears from the pain, but she didn't dare to utter a single cry of pain. She just desperately pleaded for her own life.
"Please, Young Master Lu Chuanbai, spare my life."
The more she pleaded, the more Lu Chuanbai would think of his mother's despair back then. He kicked Li Hongchan away and stood up, clapping his hands in disgust.
"I will never spare you. I'll repay you double for how you killed my mother back then."
Lu Chuanbai's expression was cold and stern. Rage welled up in the depths of his black eyes. He spat out a cold sentence through gritted teeth, then turned around and left.
He would never spare anyone who had harmed his mother back then.
Wu Daoquan's private hospital was exposed for various unreasonable charges, as well as refusing to compensate after negligently causing a patient's death.
Videos of ordinary people being maliciously threatened by Wu Daoquan also spread on the Internet.
After these rumors were exposed, the Internet instantly exploded. Netizens flocked to the official Weibo of Wu Daoquan's private hospital and cursed loudly.
All kinds of remarks boycotting Wu Daoquan's private hospital received over ten thousand likes.
Professional investigators had already intervened in the investigation. Wu Daoquan was about to be devoured by the evil he had committed in his first half of life.
Wu Daoquan watched the various posts scolding him with a crashing mind. After the patients in the hospital heard these news, they quickly left, afraid of being persecuted.
With no patients in the hospital, the doctors had nothing to do. They all gathered at the door of Wu Daoquan's office, waiting for him to solve this problem.
When Wu Daoquan came out of his office in a state of collapse, the department heads surrounded him, looking at him anxiously.
"Dean Wu, what should we do now! All the patients in the hospital have left. Some of them haven't even paid their medical bills yet!"
The head of the orthopedic department clapped his hands and glared angrily at Dean Wu. In his eyes, human lives were not worth a single cent. They were all just delaying his money - making.
The head nurse was also extremely anxious: "The family members of the patients who came to make trouble before and were suppressed are now surrounding the hospital again, demanding justice. And there are many reporters who want to interview."
"Dean Wu, you tell us what to do!"
"That's right, Dean Wu. Our hospital's reputation is completely ruined!"
The cries of "Dean Wu" were deafening. Wu Daoquan was also in a daze, filled with despair in his heart.
Of course, he knew who did this, but he didn't dare to cause trouble for that person. He could only watch helplessly as half of his life's hard - work was destroyed.
"Stop talking!" Wu Daoquan said hoarsely, waving his hand to tell everyone to leave first.
"I'll handle this matter. You all go back and rest first."
After saying that, Wu Daoquan dragged his tired body back to his office. He found his passport and other things, preparing to take the remaining savings and flee.
But Lu Chuanbai had already anticipated that Wu Daoquan would try to shirk his responsibility. He told the bodyguards to surround Wu Daoquan's hospital tightly. As long as he dared to run, they would surely beat him back.
After Wu Daoquan tried to escape through the back door, he saw through the crack of the door the tall and powerful bodyguards standing outside.
They were holding imposing batons in their hands. It was obvious that they were there to prevent Wu Daoquan from escaping.
Wu Daoquan was so scared that he shrank his head back. He hugged the briefcase in his arms tightly and didn't dare to try to escape again. The despair in his heart grew stronger and stronger.
Lu Chuanbai was giving him no way out at all!
There were reporters waiting like a swarm of hornets at the front door, and bodyguards surrounding him at the back. He had no way to escape.
The head nurse who found Wu Daoquan knelt on the ground, deeply regretting his actions, took the initiative to pour a cup of warm water for him.
"Dean Wu, I know you must be under a lot of pressure now, but you must hold on. All of us in the hospital are still waiting for you."
Wu Daoquan took the tea from the head nurse with tears streaming down his face.
"I shouldn't have done that back then! Otherwise, I wouldn't have ended up in such a situation!"
The head nurse saw Wu Daoquan's extremely regretful look. A dark light flashed in her eyes. She gently patted Wu Daoquan's shoulder to comfort him.
"Where there's a will, there's a way. Don't think so much."
After saying that, the head nurse turned around and left.
Wu Daoquan gulped down the water the head nurse had given him in one go. He wanted to stand up and go back to his office, but he found that his head was getting dizzier and he was staggering.
"What's wrong with me? My head is so dizzy!"
Wu Daoquan was so dizzy that he had to hold on to the wall. Gradually, he began to have hallucinations. The stairs became wavy, and the handrails were distorted.
The withered branches on the table seemed to open their mouths and speak in a harsh language that he couldn't understand.
"What's wrong with me..."
Wu Daoquan dragged his body up the stairs with great difficulty. He felt his chest was extremely stuffy and couldn't help but want to go to the rooftop to get some fresh air.
When Wu Daoquan crawled to the rooftop on all fours, the familiar scenery on the rooftop had all changed. It had become wavy, and there was even a giant dragon with an open mouth.
Wu Daoquan staggered to the edge of the rooftop. At this time, he had completely lost his mind. A pure smile appeared on his face, just like a child seeing the gift he wanted the most.
