Chapter 89: Examining the Injuries

When Chen Long arrived at the hospital with the police, the entrance to the intensive care unit was already crowded with people. Many patients and their families, having heard about Yuan Wenjie's actions, had come to cheer on the scene.

If it weren't for the short, thin, and dark man's quick thinking, shouting, "That's the son of the deputy provincial governor!" these people might have rushed in and started a fight.

"Disperse, everyone, disperse!"

The police shouted for a long time before they managed to clear the crowd.

Chen Long quickly walked in. The son of Yuan Gongping had been beaten up, and this was probably the most unlucky day of his career as a police officer. One problem after another, Chen Long was busy running around, but in the end, he found himself dealing with one issue after another, each more troublesome than the last.

Yuan Wenjie was lying on the ground, groaning, with blood streaming from his mouth and nose, his eyes filled with fear. The beating from Old Meng had revealed the true nature of this arrogant young man, completely extinguishing his arrogance. Yuan Wenjie usually liked to wear all white, but now he was covered in black footprints, looking as wretched as could be.

Seeing the police, Yuan Wenjie tried to get up, excited. He had never taken the police seriously before, and he had personally beaten several traffic police for speeding. But now, in his eyes, the police were great saviors, shining brightly.

Yuan Wenjie struggled to get up, but his limbs twitched in pain, and he fell to the ground again. Old Meng kicked him again, "Trying to run? I'll kick you to death, you scumbag!"

Chen Long, seeing Yuan Wenjie's miserable state, felt a great sense of satisfaction, but he maintained a serious expression and shouted, "Stop!"

The police immediately stepped forward and quickly rescued Yuan Wenjie from under Old Meng's iron legs. Old Meng tried to chase after him but was held back by the police.

"Mr. Yuan, do you want to have your injuries treated first?" Chen Long, seeing Yuan Wenjie's disheveled and bruised appearance, felt even more satisfied. This young man would likely not be able to show his face in public for months, which would be more painful for him than death.

Yuan Wenjie was about to nod but then noticed the doctors around him, who looked eager to get to work. He immediately changed his mind, "No need!"

The doctors immediately looked disappointed. Too bad, they couldn't add more salt to this young man's wounds.

Chen Long then put on a professional demeanor, "What happened? Who was beating whom just now?"

The short, thin, and dark man, still lying on the ground, was incredibly arrogant, shouting, "Are you blind? Didn't you see that the old cripple was beating Mr. Yuan!"

Chen Long's eyes immediately turned cold. You, a mere lackey, dare to point fingers at me? He pointed at the short, thin, and dark man, "Who is this? Take him away first and treat his injuries properly!"

The doctors were immediately overjoyed and shouted, "Nurse, bring in the bed!" Without waiting for the bed, they immediately lifted the short, thin, and dark man and dragged him out.

Soon, the sound of the short, thin, and dark man's screams came from outside, "Oh, my mother, it hurts so much!"

A doctor said, "It's just a minor injury, not serious. I think we don't need anesthesia, let's just stitch it up!"

Another doctor said, "The patient isn't cooperating. Go find some restraints to fix his hands and feet!"

Yuan Wenjie shivered. He had seen the doctors' skills today. These surgeons, in their white coats, were more ruthless than butchers. They specialized in hitting soft spots, targeting the most painful areas, and after the beating, it might be hard to find any evidence of the injuries.

"Who was beating whom just now?" Chen Long asked again in a stern voice.

This time, everyone in Yuan Wenjie's group was quiet. No one dared to speak out of turn. If they angered this police officer, they might also be taken away for "treatment." A wise man doesn't suffer a loss in the present. If the young master's revenge could be taken, then their own revenge could also be taken!

The crowd immediately came forward to accuse Yuan Wenjie and his group of forcibly demolishing houses and beating people to the hospital, even targeting those lying in hospital beds.

Chen Long didn't let the police record the testimonies but coldly watched Yuan Wenjie, wanting to see what he would do. The crowd was already agitated, and he couldn't arrest everyone who had beaten people!

"Director Chen, you see what they've done to me!" Yuan Wenjie's eyes were filled with hatred. He stared at everyone present, remembering every person who had beaten him today. After saying this, he stood to the side, coldly watching to see what Chen Long would do. If Chen Long dared to protect these people, he would make sure Chen Long lost his position as deputy director.

Chen Long frowned and said, "Anyone who was involved in the beating, take them all back for investigation."

The police had seen Old Meng beating people when they arrived. Hearing Chen Long's words, they immediately lifted Old Meng.

"You can't take him away!"

The crowd blocked the police, refusing to let them take Old Meng away, causing the scene to become chaotic again.

Chen Long stepped forward and shouted, "Please step aside and don't obstruct our investigation. Otherwise, we will take you all back for obstructing justice!"

Someone immediately questioned, "The son of the deputy provincial governor also beat people. Why don't you arrest him?"

Chen Long said sternly, "No matter who it is, if they were involved in the beating, we will take them back for investigation. If anyone is willing to be a witness, please come with us."

The crowd stepped back a bit. They were afraid that Old Meng would be treated unfairly, so they didn't want the police to take him away. But when they heard that they would have to go to the police station as witnesses, their resolve wavered. Speaking ill of the son of the deputy provincial governor at the police station would leave evidence for retaliation.

Chen Long, experienced in handling such situations, seized the opportunity and said, "Please trust that our investigation will be fair and just. Once the facts are clear, we will handle the matter according to the law."

After saying this, he gave a signal, and his subordinates immediately went over and controlled Yuan Wenjie and his group.

Yuan Wenjie didn't resist. He knew that once outside, Chen Long would have to release him, but these "rioters" might not be so lucky.

Seeing the police take these ruffians away, the crowd's emotions calmed down a bit.

"Take them away!" Chen Long waved his hand, and the police prepared to leave.

At this moment, Yuan Wenjie suddenly said, "Chen Long, are you protecting Zeng Yi? Why don't you arrest him?"

Chen Long stopped and thought, "You really don't know when to quit. If I hadn't arrived in time, you would have been beaten to a pulp. How dare you cause trouble now?" Chen Long could arrest anyone, but he couldn't arrest Zeng Yi. He owed his position as deputy director to Zeng Yi. If he arrested Zeng Yi today, who would dare to promote him in the future? Besides, he had no intention of arresting Zeng Yi. Arresting Zeng Yi would cause more trouble than arresting Yuan Wenjie, and it might even lead to Tang Weiguo dismantling his police station.

Chen Long turned to face the crowd and asked impatiently, "Did he beat anyone? Who can testify?"

Everyone shook their heads, "No, we didn't see him do it!"

Chen Long shrugged and said helplessly, "Mr. Yuan, I'm sorry, but no one can prove that Zeng Yi beat anyone. It seems to be a misunderstanding."

Yuan Wenjie was almost ready to explode. He shouted, "Misunderstanding? Are these injuries on my body from falling?"

Someone immediately came forward to testify, "I can testify that his injuries are from falling. Doctor Zeng not only didn't beat anyone, but he even tried to help him up."

Many people who were present thought about it and realized that it was indeed true. Zeng Yi hadn't actually hit Yuan Wenjie.

Yuan Wenjie almost spat blood. Was that called helping? He had barely escaped from under the old cripple's feet, only to be "helped" back by Zeng Yi. Zeng Yi hadn't directly beaten him, but it was worse than a beating. One finger from Zeng Yi made him feel like he had been electrocuted, unable to move. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been beaten by an old cripple. Yuan Wenjie's hatred for Zeng Yi was even deeper than for Old Meng. Without this young man, he wouldn't have suffered such a humiliating defeat today.

Previously, he had heard from his subordinates that Zeng Yi could fight, but he didn't believe it. Today, he had seen it for himself. Zeng Yi had taken out the two strongest men he had brought, and without that, these commoners wouldn't have dared to attack him. Zeng Yi had instigated this whole incident.

The thug whose hair Zeng Yi had pulled said, "I can testify that my injuries are from him!"

"Is that so?" Chen Long glanced at him and said to his subordinates, "Leave one person to take him for an examination. If he has injuries, we will handle it according to the rules!"

The thug's face immediately turned pale, "I... I..."

Before he could finish, several doctors came over and said enthusiastically, "Come, let us examine you thoroughly. We don't want to miss any hidden injuries!" Without waiting for his response, the doctors pushed him onto a wheeled bed and took him to the emergency room.

"Is there anyone else who can testify?" Chen Long asked again.

Yuan Wenjie was about to explode. Damn it, this wasn't just protection; it was outright intimidation.

Old Meng glared and said, "Don't ask anymore. I was the one who did it. It has nothing to do with this young man. I will take full responsibility!"

"Take him away!" Chen Long waved his hand, and the police took the people downstairs.

Zeng Yi took a few steps forward and came to Chen Long's side, saying, "Old Meng has a significant background. Be careful. Someone will come to pick him up soon."

Chen Long, hearing this, shivered. He didn't doubt Zeng Yi's words. Zeng Yi wasn't a fool. If he dared to beat Yuan Wenjie today, he must have had some backing. He nodded and said in a low voice, "I understand. Be careful. Yuan Wenjie won't let this go easily!" Then he quickly followed the police.
