Chapter 52

Upon hearing the doubts of several patients, the police officer in charge instantly had a very unpleasant look on his face. In his mind, this task was a very simple one, which could be completed easily. However, when he heard the patient's analysis, his expression changed immediately.

Seeing the questioning gazes of the surrounding patients, the police officer in charge felt overwhelmed. He hurriedly explained to the families of the patients present, "Everyone! I believe you have all been deceived by him. We police always base our investigations on evidence. We will never act rashly without sufficient evidence. Of course, if you have any doubts about our work, we welcome public supervision."

Feeling guilty, the police officer continued, to prevent the situation from escalating, he quickly shifted the patients' attention and said to Wu Potian, "I have worked for many years and caught countless criminals. Not a single one of them admitted to their crimes. We have come to this clinic today with ample evidence. Once we get to the police station, I will see how you can still argue your case."

After finishing his words, the police officer in charge sternly ordered the auxiliary police officer beside him, "Take this guy away. As for the sealing of this clinic, we will hand it over to the health department after the case is thoroughly investigated."

Seeing the auxiliary police officer preparing to arrest Wu Potian with handcuffs, Chen Yuemei became extremely agitated. She immediately stepped in front of the police officers and roared, "My son has not committed any crime. What right do you have to arrest him?"

Wu Potian knew that the other party had gone to great lengths to set up this trap after investigating his background in such a short time, and they would not stop until they achieved their goal. Seeing his mother protect him with great agitation, he patted her shoulder and comforted her, "Mom! The truth will always come out. Our clinic has been here for over a hundred years, and no one has ever said we are a black-hearted clinic. I will go with them today. If they can't provide evidence, I will sue them for defamation and seek compensation for our clinic's losses."

In Chen Yuemei's eyes, these police officers were no different from bandits. When she heard Wu Potian's words, she immediately rebutted, "Xiao Tian! If these bandits can be trusted, then pigs could fly. If you go with them, they will definitely use torture to frame you. I will never agree to you going to the police station with them."

Seeing his mother firmly protecting him, Wu Potian slightly moved to the side, walked to his mother's side, and comforted her, "Mom! The police have the right to summon citizens for questioning. If you obstruct them, you might be charged with obstructing official duties. This is a society governed by law. Don't worry, they won't dare to do anything to me. Call Hu Zi and tell him what happened at the clinic. I believe they will treat me the same way they bring me in."

The police officer in charge did not know about Wu Potian's conflict with Xu Guozheng the previous day, nor did he understand the purpose behind his superior's instructions. When he heard Wu Potian's words, his first thought was that Wu Potian was ignorant and naive. Capturing Wu Potian and completing the task assigned by his superior would be as easy as pie.

Thinking of the encouragement from his superior before they set out, a flash of excitement appeared in the police officer's eyes. Then, he put on a stern face and coldly said, "It seems you have a thorough understanding of the law. Since that's the case, there's no need for me to say more. Please come with us now!"

The fleeting look in the police officer's eyes did not escape Wu Potian's notice. Seeing the auxiliary police officer preparing to handcuff him, a sharp look flashed in his eyes, and he angrily rebuked the auxiliary police officer, "I am just going to cooperate with your investigation; I am not your criminal. When I worked at Yanjing Hospital, I was also a temporary worker, and I know how hard it is to make a living, so I don't want to make things difficult for you."

"However, you are just a temporary auxiliary police officer. You only have the right to assist, not to enforce the law. I advise you to take off the handcuffs. Don't foolishly take the blame for others."

In today's society, the position of a temporary worker is very awkward. They earn low wages, sometimes not even enough to support themselves, yet they do several times the work of regular employees. More importantly, they are always at risk of becoming scapegoats. Whenever something goes wrong in a government agency, people often mockingly say, "It must have been a temporary worker who did it!"

For this title used by the government to shirk responsibility, every temporary worker is well aware of the hardships of their job. In the harsh reality of society, because they don't have a good father, they have to endure their inner dissatisfaction and silently accept unequal treatment, bearing the exploitation of their labor and reputation.

The auxiliary police officer was not a fool. He knew that this task was not as simple as his superior had said. Wu Potian's words struck a chord with him, and he decisively abandoned the idea of handcuffing Wu Potian. He turned to the police officer in charge, and seeing no reaction, he said to Wu Potian, "Sir, please come with us."

Hearing the auxiliary police officer's words, Wu Potian smiled at Chen Yuemei and said, "Mom, don't worry too much. I'll be back soon."

After comforting his mother, Wu Potian turned to look at the police officer in charge, his eyes flashing with a sharp look. He coldly said, "I hope you can provide sufficient credentials. Otherwise, I will make you regret your actions today for the rest of your life."

Perhaps because of his guilt, when the police officer in charge saw Wu Potian's sharp gaze, he felt a sudden chill. He wondered, "The old leader said this clinic has no background in our Han City. Why do I have such a strange feeling when I see this young man?"

Despite his thoughts, the police officer did not take them seriously. He believed that as long as he made this case airtight, nothing could go wrong.

Moreover, his old leader was about to become the head of the Han City Police Bureau. Even if this matter was not directly arranged by his old leader, with his old leader's support, no one could touch him. On the contrary, if he handled this matter well, his future would be bright.

With no reservations, the police officer in charge led his subordinates and took Wu Potian out of the clinic. Little did he know that because of today's incident, he would eventually be stripped of his police uniform. Of course, that is another story.
