Chapter 91: The Third Demolition

Chen Long escorted Old Meng to the entrance of the police station, where a military vehicle was already waiting. A lieutenant colonel quickly approached, saluted Old Meng, and asked, "Are you Uncle Meng?"

Old Meng nodded, and the lieutenant colonel immediately said, "Director Qin sent us to pick you up!" After saying that, he ran over and opened the car door.

Watching the military vehicle take Old Meng away, Chen Long felt lucky. Thanks to Zeng Yi's reminder today, he had avoided causing another disaster.

At this moment, Yuan Wenjie came out from inside, cursing. Seeing Chen Long, he pointed at Chen Long's nose and said, "Remember this, I will get you sooner or later."

Chen Long smiled coldly, thinking to himself that Yuan Wenjie should take care of himself first.

After cursing a few more times, Yuan Wenjie got into the car waiting for him and left.

At the provincial hospital, several military doctors who had been dispatched took over Meng Qunsheng's treatment. Meng Qunsheng was to be transferred to the nearest military hospital.

"Patient has multiple fractures. The transfer must be done very carefully," Zeng Yi reminded them.

The military doctors, who initially didn't take Zeng Yi seriously, were shocked after seeing the X-ray images of Meng Qunsheng's fractures before and after treatment. Such severe fractures would be difficult to fully realign even with major surgery, and Meng Qunsheng would definitely be left with a lifelong disability. However, the post-treatment images showed that the fractures were perfectly aligned, which was truly unbelievable. It was hard to imagine that this was the work of a young doctor.

Zeng Yi took out a small porcelain bottle from his medical bag and said, "This is a bone-healing medicine I formulated myself. It is very helpful for bone injuries."

A military doctor carefully took it and said, "I thank Dr. Zeng on behalf of the patient. If there's an opportunity, we would like to invite Dr. Zeng to our hospital to share your experience in treating bone injuries. Our military hospital is in dire need of such talent and experience. Many excellent soldiers have been left with disabilities due to bone injuries."

Zeng Yi replied, "I wouldn't dare to call it 'teaching.' If there's an opportunity, we can exchange experiences."

The military doctor politely left his contact information and then helped the others move Meng Qunsheng to a field hospital vehicle parked downstairs.

When they left the hospital, it was already midnight. Zeng Yi returned to his clinic and found it had been completely ransacked. The medicine cabinets were in pieces, and the herbs were scattered all over the floor. The clothes upstairs were trampled and covered in various stains, emitting a foul odor.

Zeng Yi knew who was responsible without guessing. Yuan Wenjie had been so badly affected by what happened today that it was no surprise he would take out his anger on Zeng Yi.

Chen Long quickly arrived. He had learned about the ransacking after receiving a report from a passerby. He looked regretful and said, "It's all my fault for being too careless. I didn't expect Yuan Wenjie to be so vengeful."

Zeng Yi waved his hand, "We will settle this with him eventually."

Chen Long walked around the clinic, his fists clenched in anger. "If I had known, I would have detained that guy for 48 hours!"

Zeng Yi knew Chen Long was just venting. If he really detained Yuan Wenjie, Chen Long's position as deputy director would be in jeopardy.

Just then, Tang Weiguo arrived. Seeing the mess, he became furious and shouted, "What the hell! How dare they do this! I'll destroy them now!" He pulled out his phone and said, "Baldy, gather the men!"

Zeng Yi stepped forward and held him back, "Let's not rush into violence!"

"You're not angry, but I am! If I don't beat Yuan Wenjie to a pulp, I won't be Tang!"

Tang Weiguo was livid. He shook off Zeng Yi's hand and pushed him aside. He was naturally a combative person, always looking for trouble. Now that Yuan Wenjie had targeted Zeng Yi, who was his wife's brother and the savior of his children, he couldn't stand it. Attacking Zeng Yi was a direct challenge to Tang Weiguo, and he would show Yuan Wenjie the consequences.

"I will deal with Yuan Wenjie after we finish the important business, and if you don't, I will!"

Tang Weiguo glared at Zeng Yi and shouted, "What important business is more important than this? Tell me! Tell me!"

"Follow me!"

Zeng Yi said this and walked out, heading towards the old building where Meng Qunsheng lived.

Tang Weiguo had to suppress his anger and followed Zeng Yi, his face twisted with rage.

The old building had not been completely demolished. In the afternoon, when Yuan Wenjie's demolition team knocked down a wall, the surrounding residents noticed and rushed over to help. The demolition team, realizing they were outnumbered, fled, leaving behind a bulldozer.

Zeng Yi stood in front of the old building and saw that a large hole had been punched in the right corner of the wall, with bricks and tiles scattered everywhere. The bulldozer was still stuck in the wall.

"Let's go inside and take a look!"

"What's there to see?"

Tang Weiguo was extremely dissatisfied, but Zeng Yi had already crawled through the hole, so he had to follow.

Zeng Yi found a flashlight and, after searching the building, reached the exhibition room. He carefully examined it and said, "I found it!"

Tang Weiguo watched as Zeng Yi walked over and took down a scroll hanging on the wall. It contained a long passage in classical Chinese, which he couldn't understand. He frowned and asked, "What are you looking for this for?"

Zeng Yi pointed to the signature at the bottom of the scroll and said, "Do you know whose writing this is?"

Tang Weiguo shook his head. If you asked him about guns, he could identify them by sound, but he was clueless about calligraphy. "How would I know who wrote it? It's not me!"

The signature read "Li Hansheng." When Qiao Wendu was in charge of the office here, he used this pseudonym. He wrote this scroll to commemorate his time here. Few people knew about this, so the scroll had hung there for many years without anyone recognizing Qiao Wendu's handwriting. If not for Meng Qunsheng's mention in the hospital, Zeng Yi wouldn't have known either.

"Qiao Wendu!" Zeng Yi said, rolling up the scroll. "This building used to be the Eighth Route Army's office in Rongcheng, and Qiao Wendu was the head of the office."

Tang Weiguo's eyes widened. "Qiao Wendu? Are you serious?" Tang Weiguo knew Qiao Wendu, who was a war hero and had some fame in the military.

Zeng Yi nodded. "Yuan Wenjie has caused a big problem this time. Qiao Wendu already knows about it. Unfortunately, the building wasn't completely demolished by Yuan Wenjie."

Tang Weiguo laughed and gave Zeng Yi a thumbs up. "I see, you're really clever. I know what to do."

"Anything that can be salvaged should be salvaged," Zeng Yi said.

Tang Weiguo patted Zeng Yi on the shoulder. "Don't worry, I know what to do."

Chen Long was waiting outside. When he saw the two come out, he was a bit puzzled. When they went in, Tang Weiguo was shouting about fighting, but now he seemed happy and content. Chen Long had been there several times and hadn't seen anything valuable.

The three returned to Zeng Yi's clinic. Tang Weiguo said, "Stay at my place tonight. Yuan Wenjie will have to compensate you with a new house!"

Chen Long agreed. "Right, he shouldn't get off easy!"

Tang Weiguo patted Chen Long on the shoulder. "Old Chen, I leave this to you. Make sure the scene is protected!"

Chen Long was flattered by the "Old Chen" and promised, "Don't worry, I'll call people over to protect the crime scene."

Tang Weiguo pulled Zeng Yi into the car and drove off.

In the middle of the night, the nearby residents heard a loud noise. Thinking it was another forced demolition, they all rushed out to see what was happening. They found that the old building, which had only been partially demolished, had now completely collapsed. Another bulldozer was on the scene, but no one was around.

The residents stood in front of the ruins, discussing the situation. Someone shouted, "What the hell! It must be Yuan Wenjie's people doing another forced demolition in the middle of the night!"

Another person said, "I got up to use the bathroom and saw about fifty shadowy figures approaching, carrying steel pipes. I recognized the leader; it was the scar-faced man!"

Everyone was convinced it was Yuan Wenjie's people. They were outraged and started cursing Yuan Wenjie, who had demolished the old building three times in one day. This was a revolutionary relic, and it was clear that Yuan Wenjie was determined to drive everyone away. Concerned for their homes, the residents became even more angry and agitated.

Chen Long was nearby and almost got overwhelmed by the residents' anger when he arrived.

The employees of Feilong Construction were shocked when they came to work in the morning. The statue in front of the building had been knocked over and thrown aside, the main door was smashed, and a large bulldozer was working inside, creating a large hole in the ground.

Several armed soldiers were guarding the hole, preventing anyone from approaching.

The employees tried to ask what was happening, but a lieutenant with a gun on his belt stepped forward and shouted, "Back off! Military construction, no unauthorized personnel allowed!"

"This is where we work!" the employees protested.

"I only know that there are military communication lines buried here!" the lieutenant said coldly, looking at the employees. "Do you want to obstruct national defense communications?"

The employees were frightened by the lieutenant's cold stare. Obstructing national defense communications was a serious crime they couldn't afford to commit. They took a few steps back and stood there, whispering to each other. The foundation of the building was made of reinforced concrete and was several meters deep. They hadn't noticed any communication lines when the building was constructed.

If there were really national defense communication lines, the building wouldn't have been built in the first place.

The lieutenant stepped forward again and shouted, "Back off! If you keep peeking, it will be considered an attempt to steal national defense secrets!"

The employees were scared again and took a few more steps back. They then went to inform Yuan Wenjie.
