Chapter 198: Miracle Medicine That Cures All Heart Diseases

”How could there be nothing wrong? I donʼt believe it! Youʼre all fake! Deliberately lying to me! I donʼt believe it!”

In the hospital, Zhang Li stared incredulously at the examination report in her hand, shouting loudly.

”The doctor clearly said I have heart disease! Iʼve been taking medicine for two years, how dare you say Iʼm not sick? Quacks! Youʼre all quacks!”

Officer Yang finally sensed something unusual: ”Which doctor said you have heart disease?”

Zhang Li immediately fell silent.

”Anyway, I definitely have heart disease. Your machines here are too inferior to detect it.”

The doctor nearby laughed in exasperation: ”This is one of the best hospitals in the country, and these machines represent the most advanced technology available. How dare you question us? Then go somewhere else! We canʼt treat you here.”

He then waved his hand, signaling Officer Yang to quickly take her away.

He had encountered such illness-faking fraudsters before, especially those trying to escape punishment by pretending to be sick. He had dealt with plenty of them.

So he had no desire to waste words with such people.
”Could this old lady have been scammed?”

A voice came from the doorway of the examination room.

Officer Yang looked up and met Xiao Heʼs emotionless gaze: ”Wasnʼt there a case making waves recently? I remember it was the Kemingen companyʼs substandard drugs incident, right? That case isnʼt over yet, and if another counterfeit drugs case harming people emerges now, the impact could be significant.”

”I also feel sheʼs not lying, but genuinely deceived by some so-called ʼdoctorʼ,” Officer Ye chimed in weakly from the side. ”If this is a case within a case, then it coincidentally overlaps with the recent substandard drugs incident.”

This didnʼt necessarily mean the two cases were connected, but since the substandard drugs case had caused huge impact recently, and now this counterfeit drugs case emerged, even if they were originally unrelated, consecutive explosions in drug safety issues indicated significant regulatory problems. This would surely trigger another wave of public opinion.

Some people in high positions might find their seats affected and be forced to move—though the troubles of important figures werenʼt something small players like them needed to consider.

Officer Yang rubbed his temples with a headache.

The troublesome part was that this was a case within a case—one case not yet resolved, and another already emerging.

This was beyond what they could handle.

”In recent years, news reports frequently mention scammers specifically targeting lonely elderly people, visiting them pretending to be children, making the elderly happy, then using that to market their companyʼs drugs or other health products.”

Xiao He stared at Zhang Li, his eyes deep and mysterious, carrying a startling intensity: ”You havenʼt encountered this situation too, have you?”

Zhang Li thought of her ”son” and her expression shifted slightly. But years of trust had already clouded her judgment—in her view, her ”son” and his group were the good people, while the people before her were the scammers and villains!

This guy who came out of nowhere dared to slander their relationship like this! He deserved to die!

Just as Zhang Li was about to retort, meeting Xiao Heʼs gaze made her inexplicably change her tune: ”Well, it seems like it really is...”

The young manʼs eyes seemed to possess a magical power, stimulating Zhang Liʼs somewhat sluggish mind to become clearer.

She abruptly remembered that she had bought many things from her so-called good son, most of which were medicines for heart disease, along with medicines for the old master—for two years already, she hadnʼt been giving the old master hospital-prescribed medicine, basically getting everything from her good son.

Although the medicine didnʼt show much effect on the old master, throughout these years, her heart disease had never acted up. Others who saw her all said she didnʼt look like someone with heart disease, appearing vibrant and very healthy.

Calculating carefully, using her and the old masterʼs monthly pension funds, scattered over these years, she had already spent over five hundred thousand at her good sonʼs place.

Instantly, Zhang Li shuddered violently.

That was over five hundred thousand!

Originally, most of their money had been swindled by their real son, and now this fake son had coaxed another five hundred thousand out of them!

They were truly penniless now!

Otherwise, Zhang Li wouldnʼt have become desperate enough to deliberately use the old masterʼs life to extort money to buy medicine for her ”heart disease.”

She had been forced into this, with no way out!

The next moment, Zhang Liʼs body went limp, and Officer Yang quickly caught her: ”Whatʼs wrong now?”

”Waaahhh—”

Before he could finish speaking, Zhang Li suddenly burst into loud wails, crying much more genuinely than before. She grabbed Officer Yangʼs sleeve and said loudly: ”Officer, you have to help me!”

Officer Yang: ?

”I, wuwu, was scammed by those damned fraudsters! He said he had some medicine that could cure heart disease and tricked me into buying it! But this old woman has no money left! Thatʼs why I resorted to this desperate measure, wanting to use the old masterʼs life to save my own!”

Officer Yang: ...

Officer Ye: ...

Doctor: ...

The doctor rolled his eyes dramatically: ”Cure heart disease? How come I donʼt know about such an amazing thing?”

Donʼt block his area anymore—he still has other patients to see.

Hearing the doctorʼs words, Zhang Li cried even more miserably.

Officer Yang was too embarrassed to further delay the doctorʼs work, quickly signaling Officer Ye, and together they ”assisted” Zhang Li out of the examination room.

After borrowing a relatively quiet and private hospital room, Officer Yang took advantage of Zhang Liʼs emotional turmoil to press her for details about the case.

Somehow, Zhang Li, who had previously been stubbornly tight-lipped, now became completely talkative, answering every question. Almost everything Officer Yang asked, she explained truthfully.

”I, I really thought that person was a doctor. He treated me and the old master very well. Over these years, only he was willing to visit us during holidays, and even helped us clean the house and do chores.”

”He previously used some kind of instrument, saying I had heart problems, and even took me to their hospital for a check—”

”Wait, tell me where their hospital is located?”

”Just at number 2, across the street diagonally from XX Central Peopleʼs Hospital.”

Officer Yangʼs expression turned serious.

This actually involved an illegal clinic!

”Continue.”

”At first I didnʼt really believe it, until that period when I suddenly felt heart palpitations and pain. It scared me so much I called that doctor to come check, and he said my heart disease had suddenly worsened, growing a small tumor, and if not treated promptly, it could be life-threatening.”

”Hmm, go on.”

”I was terrified at the time, but surgery was too expensive—I simply couldnʼt afford it. Then the doctor said their hospital had recently developed a new medicine that could painlessly shrink the tumor, cutting off its nutrition supply, making it automatically fall off.”

Officer Yang: ...

There were too many flaws here, he didnʼt know where to begin roasting.
