Insufficient balance

  When the car stopped in front of the city hospital gate, Ye Jun didn't say a word and directly opened the door, rushing into the hospital like crazy.

  As he walked, Han Kuangqing had already roughly figured out the ins and outs of the whole thing. At this moment, he felt neither joy nor sorrow. For a life that was on the verge of collapse and was ignored by him, Han Kuangqing did not have any sense of guilt. He even absurdly thought that if a corrupt cop like Lu Chong continued to use his positive image to do evil, then what would happen to the government's reputation? Could ordinary people still trust the government?

  At this moment, Han Kuangqing quietly picked up the shopping bag that Ye Jun had placed in the car and was about to hand it over to Bai Bing, who had opened the door and got out of the car, to ask her to give it back to Ye Jun. But he found a black pager inside, and after being stunned for a moment, he quickly took out the pager and dialed a number.

  "Xiao Xu, I'm going to tell you something. Listen carefully and don't ask any questions. After hearing it, immediately report this matter to the Municipal Committee and let them decide."

  After finishing, Han Kuangqing detailed the ins and outs he had learned from Ye Jun's mouth. Of course, he concealed the part about the god of wealth, only highlighting Lu Chong's misdeeds. Han Kuangqing was very clear that this half-true, half-false report had thoroughly covered up his usual noble sentiments, which were untainted by worldly desires. Perhaps this selfishness, which went against his usual style, had a component of deep hatred for Lu Chong, but the real reason was Ye Jun.

  Han Kuangqing hung up the phone, took a deep breath, feeling no guilt or regret, but quietly sat in the car, lit a cigarette with his hands, and stared blankly into space, as if lost in thought, seemingly pondering and plotting.

  "Doctor! Where is the person who was shot?"

  Ye Juncai rushed up to the fourth floor in the elevator and grabbed a doctor who was walking towards him. Since the operating room is only on the fourth floor, Ye Jun didn't think twice and ran up: "I'm a friend of the injured person, please tell me how he's doing?"

  "Hello, don't worry, he is receiving emergency treatment. Because the difficulty of this operation is relatively high, several chief surgeons with rich clinical experience in the hospital are having a meeting."

  The doctor smiled and nodded to Yeh Jun not to be nervous, then pointed to a corridor on his side: "The injured is being scanned in the emergency room, I heard that his relatives are already waiting outside, go forward, turn left and you will arrive."

  "Thank you."

  After saying thank you, Ye Jun immediately ran towards the corridor, completely ignoring Bai Bing who had just walked out of the elevator.

  As soon as he turned the corner, he saw Wang Bingyang sitting in a chair playing with a lighter, and on the opposite chair was Liang Tao, along with an obviously older rural woman. At this moment, Liang Tao was comforting the rural woman next to him who had already cried into tears, judging from the situation, this should be Liang Tao's and Liang Hao's birth mother.

  "Xiao Jun!"

  It seemed that a figure filled with guilt and sorrow was approaching step by step. Liang Tao subconsciously glanced over his head, only to find it was Ye Jun. He immediately stood up excitedly and shouted: "Who the hell shot my brother? If anything happens to Ah Hao, I'll make that son of a bitch pay with his life."

  Wang Bingyang subconsciously put away the lighter, then put it in his pocket, and stood up silently. From his gaze, it was clear that he had the same idea as Liang Tao.

  "Sorry, Taoge!"

  Just thinking that Liang Hao had handed over his life to him just before noon, less than two hours ago, and was now lying in the emergency room, Ye Jun felt a wave of self-reproach.

  "Xiao Jun, I already know the general situation of this matter. This has nothing to do with you at all. What I want to know now is who exactly was that son of a bitch who opened fire on your group?"

  Liang Taohong's eyes were red, and his emotions seemed very agitated. As for the peasant woman, although she was still constantly wiping away what seemed to be an endless stream of tears, her gaze was dazed and distracted, apparently also listening to the commotion over here.

  "His name is Lu Chong, he's a policeman." Ye Jun replied truthfully.

  Li Tao's eyes, which had been red with tears, widened in shock at the words, but soon gave way to a furious expression. He muttered: "It was him! That despicable little man! I've seen him before, how detestable! He actually dared to hurt my brother. If anything happens to Ah Hao, I'll stake my life on making him pay for it in blood!"

  Bang!

  A crisp slap rang out, and Liang Tao, covering his face in disbelief, turned around to stare at the peasant woman in front of him, who was both sad and furious, and asked incredulously: "Mom! Why did you hit me?"

  "How can you still have the face to say that? Ah Hao's life or death is unknown, and you're thinking about revenge in your head. Have you ever thought about Ah Hao? Have you ever thought about me as a mother? If Ah Hao really dies, will you also go to prison for revenge or be shot by the police? Are you expecting me, as a mother, to mourn for this unfilial son?"

  The peasant woman cried and scolded, the words fell into Liang Tao's ears, like a strong medicine that cured his madness, making him suddenly wake up with a guilty look.

  Seeing her son showing signs of remorse, the rural woman's expression gradually eased up, at least she was no longer furious. After comforting Liang Tao for a while, the rural woman finally turned her gaze to Ye Jun, forcing out a smile and said: "Child, you are Ye Jun, right? Thank you for your help, Ah Hao could come out of prison. Unfortunately, just as he stepped out, this happened, is this fate? Is this the curse of the heavens on the Liang family?"

  As she spoke, the peasant woman burst into tears again. Ye Jun felt a pang of guilt and quickly supported the peasant woman's shaking body, saying sorrowfully: "Auntie, I'm sorry, it should be me who is grateful. If not for Hao Ge blocking that bullet for me, I would definitely be the one lying in the emergency room now. Auntie, please don't worry, Hao Ge will definitely be fine, I guarantee it."

  Ye Jun said it with conviction, but despite the farmer's wife being grateful for his consolation, she shook her head: "The doctor just talked to us and the surgery fee is very expensive. I don't know who to ask for help with the money, and neither does A Tao. Besides, the success rate of this operation is extremely low, it's possible that once Ah Hao goes under the knife, he may never wake up again."

  As she spoke, the peasant woman burst into tears again. Ye Jun glanced unconsciously at the emergency room door and comforted her, "Auntie, don't worry, I have this money. After all, it was Hao Ge who took the bullet for me, so you can't pay for this."

  It seems that the rural woman has the intention of refusing this kindness, Ye Jun hastily said: "Auntie, if you really don't blame me, let me pay for this. If you don't let me pay for this, Taoge won't blame me, Haoge won't blame me, you won't blame me, but I will blame myself, and I will be uneasy in my heart all my life. Auntie, Haoge will definitely stand up again, I swear, no matter what the cost, I will let Haoge appear before you alive and well."

  The peasant woman looked at Ye Jun with tears in her eyes for a long time, then sighed deeply and didn't say anything. She just turned to Wang Bingyang and said, "Ayang, trouble you to send me back."

  Wang Bingyang nodded silently and accompanied the rural woman to disappear into the corridor, from start to finish, the rural woman did not respond to Ye Jun's heartfelt words. Perhaps there was a moment of hope in her heart, but the rural woman was not foolish, through a conversation with the attending physician, she clearly understood the danger of this operation. She chose to leave, perhaps hoping that Liang Haoke could appear alive and well in front of her, or maybe she couldn't bear to be the first to hear the bad news, choosing the most appropriate way to escape.

  But anyway, the old mother who had brought up the Liang brothers for over twenty years was gone. The only ones left were the taciturn Liang Tao and Ye Jun, as well as Bai Bing, who sat silently in a nearby chair with an expression that seemed to be holding back words.

  Time passed minute by minute, second by second, and no one said a word in the meantime. However, many doctors rushed in and out with anxious expressions. Liang Tao wanted to ask, but held back, seemingly worried about affecting the doctor's mood. Ye Jun also wanted to ask, he was eager to know Liang Hao's current situation, but feared getting an unfavorable result. Bai Bing wanted to ask even more, she too wanted to know Liang Hao's specific situation, because she urgently needed to find a chance to break the ice with Ye Jun.

  "Damn it, I've been searching for half a day and finally found it."

  Suddenly, a loud and clear voice came, instantly breaking the quiet atmosphere of the scene. Ye Jun looked around for the source of the sound, only to see Hu Youcai, his face covered in sweat, taking off his jacket and tie as he walked towards him.

  Jian Yejun and Liang Tao just smiled wryly and nodded, which was a greeting. Hu Youcai furrowed his brow, and his intuition told him that Liang Hao's situation didn't look good. He took out a pack of cigarettes and handed two to them, but Jian Yejun and Liang Hao both tucked them behind their ears without lighting up immediately. A bitter smile spread across his face as he said, "That beast is probably done for this lifetime. Little Jun, I've made amends with you."

  "Really killed?" Yu Jun exclaimed in shock.

  This topic also caught Liang Tao's attention, seeing Hu Youcai shook his head, Liang Tao couldn't help but feel a little disappointed: "It's okay, wait for me to personally go and remove this turtle's four legs."

  "You've had your chance."

  Hu Youcai first revealed a sinister smile, then explained under Ye Jun and Liang Tao's curious gaze: "Ah Niu and Ah Hui seem to have taken a liking to that beast, planning to play with it for a while before selling it to the Arabian royal family through their own channels. Apparently, some members of the royal family have rather... unusual tastes. In other words, they're going to use these rich bearded men as pets, and once they get bored, they'll just bury them alive in the ground."

  So cute!

  Typical Qiao Mei!

  Because of the unclear news about Liang Hao's life and death, Ye Jun felt a bit lost with Liang Hao, but when he heard the news about Hu Youcai, Ye Jun almost burst out laughing, as if recalling the segment where Wu Yi was intimidated last night. However, Wu Yi could only be considered to have had a false alarm, but Lu Chong was actually scolded after being recited a poem, and suddenly the courtyard bloomed with flowers, and his resentment towards Lu Chong also faded somewhat, and he even felt some sympathy for him.

  Liang Tao heard that the culprit would end up in such a situation, and he immediately applauded with joy. His originally angry and sorrowful face also relaxed a bit, and he cursed: "This son of a bitch is really lucky to have the chance to travel abroad."

  On the surface, it seems like Liang Tao is not satisfied with Lu Chong's outcome, but anyone can hear that there is a hint of schadenfreude in his tone. After all, Liang Tao was present at the scene last night and clearly knows what kind of ruthless people Ah Niu and Ah Hui are. Falling into their hands, Liang Tao feels more comfortable than if Lu Chong had been killed a thousand times.

  Suddenly, a large group of doctors walked over. The middle-aged doctor who came first comforted Liang Tao for a while before pointing to the three doctors behind him and calmly said: "We have discussed this through a meeting and decided to invite these three provincial surgical experts to take charge of removing the bullet. If you don't have any objections, please pay the fee and we will arrange the surgery immediately."

  "Xiao Hao, come here."

  It seems that's what you're here for, Hu Youcai also understands the rules. No money, even if someone dies inside, no one will care. With a wave of his hand, he pulled out a shiny gold credit card and handed it to the black-clad giant called Xiao Hao, instructing him: "Settle this surgery fee."

  "Alright, boss."

  When Xiao Hao and the nurse who had accompanied him left, the doctors present nodded to each other and were about to arrange for the operation to proceed. Suddenly, Hu Youcai took out two thick stacks of 100-yuan bills from his briefcase, with at least 100 bills in each stack, which means a total of 20,000 yuan.

  Handing over the money to the doctor in charge, who looked puzzled, Hu Youcai said slowly: "It doesn't matter if you don't recognize me or ask who I am. I just want you to save him. If he recovers, I'll give each of you a big red envelope afterwards. Of course, as a token of sincerity, I'll first give you some tea money. But if you can't save him, from now on, don't dare to put gold on your face and claim to be the authority in this province."
