PATGFM Chapter 32: Yu Xin's Collapse
The Supervisory Office.
Luchuan was locked up in the detention room.
Yu Xin looked smug, "This place is just a transitional stage. I'll soon find the crucial evidence of you killing Lin Hu. By then, you'll be taken to the prison and spend your whole life there!"
Luchuan remained calm. He knew that being a suspect without evidence wasn't enough for a conviction. Right now, he was just detained as a suspect.
Moreover, Gu Hongzhuang had mentioned that her subordinates had already cleaned up any possible evidence on the day they rescued him. So Luchuan wasn't worried at all about Yu Xin finding any crucial evidence. At most, he would be detained for a few days before being released.
He was more concerned about Yu Qingfeng's situation. After all, he had promised to help Yu Qingfeng with another treatment. If Yu Qingfeng missed this treatment and passed away, Luchuan would surely feel guilty.
"What I said just now is true. There's indeed a patient waiting for my treatment. If he doesn't receive my treatment before five o'clock today, he might lose his life. Even if you don't care about him, you should at least consider his wife and daughter. If you don't believe me, you can bring him here for treatment." Luchuan said sincerely.
Yu Xin looked at Luchuan with disgust, "Don't use such excuses to deceive me. I can't believe you. Who knows if you're trying to call your accomplices over!"
"And do you have the face to talk about considering others' wives and daughters? When you killed Lin Hu, did you consider his wife and daughter?"
"Just stay here honestly!" she said, then turned and left.
Luchuan clenched his fists. For some reason, every time he heard this woman speak, he felt an impulse to act.
How could someone be so indiscriminate about right and wrong!
Qin Lan and Liu Kun emerged, their faces full of schadenfreude.
"Well, well, well, let me see who got locked up? Oh, isn't it my former lackey Luchuan!" Qin Lan said mockingly with exaggerated tone.
Liu Kun laughed heartily, "You've been so arrogant lately, why don't you come out and show off in front of us again!"
Luchuan looked at the two of them speechlessly, then walked over and lay down on the wooden bed in the detention room without any response.
Although his life hadn't changed much compared to the past, he had already left people like Qin Lan and Liu Kun far behind in essence.
When one's understanding was on a different level, it was hard for him to get angry at idiots like Qin Lan and Liu Kun.
Seeing that Luchuan didn't react at all and couldn't even get him to look at them, let alone stir any emotions, Qin Lan and Liu Kun couldn't maintain their smug expressions and had to leave grumbling.
Luchuan glanced at the clock hanging on the wall and found that it was almost four o'clock, sighed helplessly.
...
City East Park.
Yu Qingfeng, accompanied by driver Xiao Zhang, came to the grove.
He looked around and didn't see Luchuan. He felt a little puzzled, "Could he be in the bathroom?"
Out of politeness, he chose to stand still and wait.
But after ten minutes passed and still no sign of Luchuan, Yu Qingfeng began to feel that something was wrong.
He took out his phone and called Luchuan.
"The number you've dialed is switched off..."
Yu Qingfeng frowned instantly, "Switched off? What does Dr. Lu mean by this?"
Xiao Zhang saw Yu Qingfeng's expression change and hurriedly asked, "Chief, that miraculous doctor you mentioned hasn't arrived yet? What's wrong?"
Yu Qingfeng said, "His phone is switched off."
Xiao Zhang's face changed, "Didn't you say that if you don't get treatment from this Dr. Lu before five o'clock, you'll..."
Yu Qingfeng sighed, "Perhaps fate has its own plans."
He turned to leave. At this moment, the chaotic footprints on the ground caught his attention.
"These footprints are all new. Could it be that something happened to Dr. Lu, and his phone was switched off because of that?"
Thinking so, Yu Qingfeng instructed Xiao Zhang, "Go and check who came here in the past hour. Be quick!"
"Yes!" Xiao Zhang immediately went to investigate.
Not long after, Xiao Zhang ran back and said to Yu Qingfeng, "Chief, it's confirmed that our people came here not long ago..."
Yu Qingfeng was taken aback, "Who?"
Xiao Zhang said cautiously, "It's... Miss Yu."
Yu Qingfeng frowned, "What does she want with Dr. Lu?"
Xiao Zhang explained, "I asked her. She said Miss Yu suspected Dr. Lu of being the culprit in that case she's investigating and found an eyewitness, so she had Dr. Lu arrested."
Yu Qingfeng felt a pang in his heart and forced himself to say through the pain, "Dr. Lu is kind-hearted and courageous. How could he be a murderer? Even if he were, there must be extenuating circumstances."
Xiao Zhang asked, "Chief, what should we do now?"
Yu Qingfeng wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, "Go back to the Supervisory Office and send me all the files on the case Yu Xin is investigating."
...
Supervisory Office.
Yu Xin sat in her office, looking pleased, holding a cup of coffee and drinking it happily.
"My father always said I was spoiled and wouldn't achieve anything. Now I've proven myself with strength. I've solved such a big case shortly after joining. I'll make sure he praises me well."
Her gaze fell on the photo of Luchuan on the desk. She smirked, "I'm truly the angel of justice in this world. I won't let go of demons like him in the future!"
At this moment, someone pushed open the door of her office.
Yu Qingfeng walked in with Xiao Zhang's support.
As the five o'clock deadline approached, his face became pale, and he appeared much weaker.
Seeing her father coming, Yu Xin immediately stood up, walked over with pride, and said, "Dad, I just solved a case of a martial artist being killed. The culprit has been arrested. Now we only need one piece of evidence to convict him. Am I amazing?"
Yu Qingfeng's face darkened as he stared at Yu Xin for a few seconds before suddenly raising his hand and slapping her across the face.
Yu Xin couldn't believe her eyes as she looked at Yu Qingfeng, shouting, "Why did you hit me?"
Yu Qingfeng threw all the files of the Lin Hu case in front of Yu Xin and questioned, "Before you took over the Lin Hu case, did you know what kind of person Lin Hu was?"
Yu Xin looked aggrieved, "How could I not know what kind of person he was when I took over the case?"
"So, you knew Lin Hu had committed numerous crimes?" Yu Qingfeng glared at his daughter.
Yu Xin protested, "So what if he committed numerous crimes? That's all in the past. Now he's just a family man. Yet he was cruelly killed by Luchuan, that demon. Doesn't he deserve justice?"
Yu Qingfeng sneered, "Justice, indeed!"
He continued, "Have you ever understood Luchuan?"
Yu Xin said, "What do I need to understand about him? All I know is that he killed someone. He's a demon and must be punished!"
Yu Qingfeng angrily raised his hand again.
Yu Xin quickly dodged and cried out hysterically, "What's wrong with what I said? I'm seeking justice, yet you hit me! What right do you have to be the chief of the Supervisory Office!"
Yu Qingfeng took a deep breath and shouted, "If you truly seek justice, you should investigate everything thoroughly!"
"For so many years, Luchuan has been diligent and helpful, never harming anyone. But his ex-girlfriend and her lover, dissatisfied with him, paid Lin Bao to commit murder. Unexpectedly, Luchuan fought back and killed Lin Bao. In retaliation, Lin Hu targeted Luchuan."
"I don't know how Lin Hu died. Perhaps he was indeed killed by Luchuan. But even so, based on all the known facts, Luchuan was acting in self-defense and is not guilty of any crime!"
Yu Xin was dumbfounded. She stammered, "Lin Bao was paid by Qin Lan and Liu Kun? They... they deceived me?"
Yu Qingfeng coldly continued, "And your object of justice, Lin Hu, has been abusing his wife and daughter for years. Just last month, his wife was severely injured because she didn't obey him and went to sleep with someone else. She's still in the hospital. His daughter is also treated like a beggar. Did you know about any of this?"
Yu Xin was speechless, "But..."
Yu Qingfeng sternly said, "No buts! Your so-called justice is just satisfying your own vanity!"
"When you took on a case, you didn't look at the facts or distinguish right from wrong. You just wanted to catch the scapegoat to make everyone praise and admire you."
"Are you really seeking justice? That's just a label you give yourself. Your real purpose is to show off, to be vain, and you don't care about the truth at all!"
Yu Xin's true feelings were laid bare by Yu Qingfeng's words. She completely collapsed and sat on the ground wailing loudly, "You only scold me! I just wanted you to praise me once. What did I do wrong!"
Yu Qingfeng admitted, "I admit, it's my fault for not educating you well, which led to this. There's fault on my part, but I never expected you to be so excessive. A good person like Luchuan has been unjustly imprisoned because of you. You've disappointed me so much!"
Yu Xin, shocked, exclaimed, "Even if I wrongly accused Luchuan, so what? He still hit me. He's not a good person either. He deserves to be imprisoned!"
Yu Qingfeng didn't expect his daughter to be so stubborn. He became dizzy with anger and fell to the ground, unconscious.
Xiao Zhang quickly rushed over to help him up, "Chief, wake up quickly, don't scare me!"
Yu Xin was startled, realizing only now that Yu Qingfeng was in a critical condition. She hurriedly crawled over.
She glared at Xiao Zhang and scolded, "How could my father be like this? How did you follow him!"
Xiao Zhang recounted what happened yesterday.
"The chief must receive treatment from Dr. Lu before five o'clock, or else his life will be in danger!"
Yu Xin was dumbfounded, "The patient that Luchuan mentioned... is my father?"
