Chapter 42: The Whole City is Astir

  Su Nan was handcuffed to the chair, and no one took care of him for a whole night. This was good, he closed his eyes to practice internal strength, relaxed and calm, not feeling tired at all. The next day when he woke up, he was even more spirited and radiant.

  But the two police officers, Dai Dui and Heng Mei, were not so lucky. One night's time was not enough for them to rest properly. As soon as they closed their eyes to sleep, in just a few minutes' time, they would feel countless evil spirits tearing at their bodies. Those who had been wrongly harmed by them appeared one after another with blood-stained faces, demanding justice from them.

  This is different from simply staying up all night, unable to sleep, and adding heavy mental pressure, until the next day, both of their spirits are almost collapsing.

  "Lao Ji, what kind of evil deed did you do last night? Why are your eyes sunken, dark circles under them, and your complexion is pale and dull? Don't tell me there was a mission, you were supposed to be resting last night, besides, the bureau didn't have any operations."

  As soon as Lao Ji led his team into the police station, someone started teasing him.

  "Shut up!" Old Ji shouted at the man. After a terrifying night, how could this feeling be pleasant? But the specific reason couldn't be told to others. It's said that if you don't do anything wrong, you won't fear ghosts knocking on your door. Having only nightmares all night, was it because I've done too many bad things?

  "Huh? Dalong, how come you're in the same mental state as Laoji! Could it be... that you two went out and did something bad together last night?"

  That person didn't realize that Lao Ji was really angry because of panic, a colleague in the same unit, it's normal to joke around. After seeing Da Long enter the door and then seeing him with the same expression as Lao Ji, he couldn't help but tease them together again.

  "Get lost!" Lao Ji and Da Long shouted at the man together. A sleepless night had already made them irritable, and being questioned about their relationship only made their mood worse.

  It seems that they remembered the curse of Suzhou, making them have nightmares. They wanted to go find him to vent their anger, but they didn't have the energy, so they could only temporarily ignore him. After attending the morning meeting, the two of them coincidentally crawled into the duty room to catch up on some sleep.

  At that time, Su Nan didn't want to startle them, so the internal force left in their bodies wasn't much. After a night's time, by daybreak it had all been used up. The two of them collapsed and fell fast asleep, sleeping all the way until lunchtime.

  "Lao Ji, let's go out and have a good meal. With some energy, we can deal with that kid properly when we get back this afternoon!" Da Long got up, stretching his waist while discussing with Lao Ji.

  "Good." Lao Ji readily agreed. He couldn't wait for Su Nan to suffer early.

  Before going out, the two of them still ran to the interrogation room to see Su Nan. Seeing that he was handcuffed for a whole night and yet still looked radiant, they felt indignant and casually slapped him several times.

  With internal force to protect the body, Su Nan was not afraid at all, and instead would rebound their strength back, injuring their meridians. Normally, nothing unusual could be seen, but once they thought of using brute force again, they would suffer the consequences.

  "Haha! Kid, think carefully about what you want to say. When we come back, give us an explanation." Lao Ji and Da Long laughed wildly as they left the door.

  …………

  "Mr. Liu, we can't get through to Director Su Nan's phone!" Liu Tian Shi's secretary was sweating anxiously and said hastily to Liu Tian Shi.

  "What? Hurry up and check Wang Tianhe's phone number, ask him if he knows where Su Nan is." Liu Tian Shi was slightly surprised for a moment, then immediately returned to his calm expression, instructing his secretary to continue finding new ways.

  Three days ago, Su Nan agreed with Liu Tian Shi that he would come to give Liu Shao Zhou a second treatment this morning, but by almost noon, there was still no sign of him. Liu Tian Shi became anxious.

  Although Liu Shaozhou has come to, his body is weak and he can only rest in bed for the past three days. The hospital has also conducted multiple checks, but everything appears normal, so they have no choice but to focus on nursing him back to health.

  After asking Wang Tianhe again, there was still no news of Su Nan, and Liu Tianshi began to worry.

  What Liu Tian Shi looked like when he was truly anxious, his secretary who had followed him for many years had never seen before, but saw it this morning.

  One by one, the phone calls went out, and soon, the whole city of Pucheng was in an uproar.

  Police were dispatched all over the streets, and there would be police cars with sirens blaring speeding by.

  Every private detective agency was excited, this one case was worth three months of their income, if they could complete the client's request, the bonus would be enough for them to close down and live a happy life.

  All TV and radio stations in Pucheng that could receive signals all inserted a missing person notice.

  Everyone has one goal, which is to find out where Su Nan is!

  "Mr. Liu, someone just called and said he knows where Su Nan is." The secretary took a call and quickly walked to Liu Tian's side, reporting in a low voice.

  "Tell me quickly, where is he?" Upon receiving the news, Liu Tian Shi suddenly stood up from his chair. Although his expression was calm and his tone was gentle, his trembling hands still reflected the excitement in his heart.

  "That man said he was in the internal medicine ward of Pucheng Hospital, named Du Lai. He heard from radio broadcast that we were looking for Su Nan and can provide us with information about Su Nan's whereabouts."

  "What are you waiting for? Hurry up and go, make sure to ask him clearly, don't miss a single clue." Liu Tian made quick arrangements.

  Having received the order, Liu Tian's secretary did not delay and went to find it according to the location Du Lai had told him.

  After a while, the secretary led Du Lai to Liu Tian Shi's presence.

  Looking at the person in front of him, Du Lai only felt dizzy. My god, isn't this that wealthy tycoon from Xia Guo? He often appears on TV and newspapers, I didn't expect to see the real person in the hospital!

  "Director Liu, this is Mr. Du Lai, he has already told me the situation, but it's a bit unexpected and I couldn't make a decision, so I brought him to see you." The secretary explained the matter in a few words.

  "Liu Dong, the thing is like this. Yesterday, when Sunan was treating my father-in-law's illness, three policemen came and said that Sunan was practicing medicine without a license, so they took him away." Du Lai explained the whole story to Liu Tian Shi.

  "What?" After listening to Du Lai's words, Liu Tian Shi was also stunned for a moment. "Su Nan was caught by the police because he didn't have a license?"

  He really hadn't considered this issue. He only saw that Sunan's medical skills were excellent, but how could he have thought that his excellent medical skills were actually practicing medicine without a license?

  "Lin Secretary, what's your take on this issue?" Liu Tian asked the secretary standing beside him.

  "This..." Secretary Lin was stunned for a moment before speaking, "Director Liu, the one treating Chairman Liu is Su Nan, not that practicing certificate."

  Liu Tian nodded slightly, feeling satisfied that his secretary could understand what he was thinking.

  "Go ahead, it's easy to know where Sunan is. You go and pick him up." Liu Tian Shi instructed his secretary. He also said to another staff member beside him: "Arrange for Mr. Du's reward."

  "Wait a minute!" Just as Secretary Lin was about to walk out of the room door, Liu Tian Shi called him back again.

  "I'll go myself," said Liu Tian Shi, "Since Su Nan has been locked up for a night, someone should give him an explanation. Otherwise, he might be resentful or worried and refuse to come to the hospital to treat Shaozhou on the grounds that he doesn't have a medical license."

  "Director Wen, when did this police station become a health bureau?" Liu Tian sat in the car and made a call to the big boss of Pucheng Police Station.

  Although he didn't hold any official position, someone like Liu Tian Shi was still considered a higher-ranking figure than him in Wen Feng Qing's eyes. Upon receiving Liu Tian Shi's phone call, before he could even understand what was going on, he was already intimidated by one of Liu Tian Shi's sentences.

  "Liu Dong, what's going on? Has someone provoked you?" Xun Feng asked cautiously. At the same time, his mind was racing to consider why Liu Tian Shi was angry. He knew that Liu Tian Shi was looking for a person named Su Nan, but could it be because of this matter that made Liu Tian Shi furious? But what did this Su Nan have to do with their police station? It's worth noting that every police station in Quanpu City had dispatched a team to search for this person named Su Nan.

  Before he could even react, Liu Tian's voice turned gloomy as he spoke up, "Director Wen, when did your police start investigating doctors' licenses?"

  When he heard this, Wen Qing's head buzzed. Since the police were arranged to find out about Su Nan's whereabouts, he naturally knew that Su Nan was a famous doctor who was treating Liu Shaozhou's illness. Now, combined with the few sentences of complaints that Liu Tian had just uttered, he already had a vague conclusion - that is, Su Nan had been caught by the police. No wonder they couldn't find him anywhere, it turned out that Su Nan was locked up in the police station. Isn't this a case of "darkness under the lamp"? Who would have thought that the person they were looking for was locked up on their own turf?

  "Liu Dong, what's going on? Please clarify. Don't you know me, brother? Whatever it is, just give the order." Xun Feng Qing thought of a possibility but wouldn't say it out loud, pretending to be clueless, putting himself outside the situation first, and then considering a solution.

  "Director Wen, I'm afraid I need to trouble you with a favor. After venting his emotions, Liu Tian Shi also stopped beating around the bush. "I asked for your help in finding Su Nan, and it turns out he's being held at the Pu Cheng Police Station's Cheng Xi Branch. I hope Director Wen can help me get him out of there. I'm on my way to the Cheng Xi Branch right now."

  As soon as Liu Tian Shi was about to rush to the West City Bureau in person, Wen Feng's face suddenly turned pale and cold sweat broke out. Who exactly is this Su Nan? Not only did he make the normally low-key Liu Tian Shi mobilize his connections and search all over Pu Cheng for him, but now that he knew where he was, he even wanted to go there in person to bring him out!

  "Director Wang, what's wrong with you? Why are you bothering with such trivial matters?" The phone call to Director Wang Hua of the West City Bureau was answered, and he was scolded severely.

  Wang Hua was still in a daze, having accompanied a noble guest from the capital city for a night of revelry yesterday. By daybreak, he hadn't gone to the police station but instead stayed at the hotel and found a room to catch up on sleep. So he didn't know about the police searching everywhere for him.

  Now being scolded by Director Wen, he is sober but still doesn't know what happened. "Director Wen, what exactly happened to make you so angry?"

  "What's going on? Don't you know what you've done yourselves?" Feng Qing shouted back at Wang Hua.
