Chapter 32

Honghe Hospital.

Gou Zhifeng and his wife Wang Guhua had already completed the transfer procedures for Gou Wei, waiting only for Gou Wei to finish his dressing change before transferring him.

Gou Wei was pushed from the operating room to a high-end ward.

In the ward, Gou Wei woke up from a coma, with bandages wrapped around his face and legs, looking like a mummy.

"Why can't I move my legs?"

On the mobile bed, Gou Wei instinctively tried to move after waking up, but found his legs completely numb and unable to move. The scene of Ye Fan stepping on his legs flashed through his mind, and he began to cry out in despair.

"Son... The doctor just gave you an anesthetic. You'll be able to move once it wears off."

Wang Guhua had only one son, Gou Wei, whom she usually doted on. Seeing Gou Wei scared and screaming, she quickly moved to comfort him.

"R-Really?"

Perhaps the cruel methods of Ye Fan had left a deep impression on Gou Wei, who was still in shock and didn't dare to believe Wang Guhua's words.

"Really!" Wang Guhua nodded repeatedly, saying, "We're taking you to Donghai for surgery. Once the surgery is done, you'll be fine!"

"To Donghai?"

Gou Wei was taken aback, but then, instead of wondering why they were going to Donghai for treatment, he asked with hatred, "What about that bastard who beat me up?"

"Don't worry, your father has already called someone. That scumbag will never walk out of prison!" Wang Guhua said with a look of hatred, as if she would tear Ye Fan apart if he were there.

"Father, that bastard broke both of my legs. I want to break all four of his limbs myself!"

Hearing this, Gou Wei, breathing heavily, looked at Gou Zhifeng and made his demand. It seemed that, to him, only by personally breaking Ye Fan's limbs could he vent his anger.

"Breaking all four limbs would be too lenient. He should lose his head!" Gou Zhifeng thought of what Liu Baojun had said about someone being sent to deal with Ye Fan, and a sinister smile spread across his face.

Creak!

Just as Gou Zhifeng finished his harsh words, the door was pushed open, and Li Bin entered with Wang Kai and a fat police officer.

"I am Chief Li Bin of Chunjiang Police Station. This is my identification."

In front of Gou Zhifeng, Wang Guhua, and Gou Wei, Li Bin and the others walked to the bedside. Li Bin showed his identification and said, "We are here to investigate the incident at CC Bar tonight..."

"I've already told your Chief Liu everything. You don't need to ask more!" Gou Zhifeng, without even looking at Li Bin's identification, cut him off. In his view, Ye Fan was already dead, and the police coming to investigate was just a waste of time.

"Mr. Gou, based on the video provided by CC Bar, we suspect your son is involved in an attempted murder!"

If it had been a few hours earlier, Li Bin would have given Liu Baojun some face, but now, Liu Baojun was just a pitiful man whose career was about to end.

"What... What did you say?"

At that moment, Gou Zhifeng felt his ears were playing tricks on him. How could the police say his son was involved in an attempted murder?

Not just Gou Zhifeng, but even Wang Guhua was confused by Li Bin's words, and Gou Wei's eyes showed a hint of panic.

"Mr. Gou, we suspect your son is involved in an attempted murder!" Li Bin repeated without changing his expression.

"You're talking nonsense! My son's legs are broken. How could he be involved in an attempted murder?" Wang Guhua, recovering from her shock, started cursing at Li Bin and the others.

As Gou Zhifeng's wife, she might respect officials like Liu Baojun, but a police station chief was nothing to her, and she had no idea how to show respect.

"Watch your mouth!"

Wang Kai, already annoyed by the Gou family's underhanded tactics, saw Wang Guhua cursing like a fishwife and sternly warned her.

Perhaps not expecting a small police officer to be so powerful, Wang Guhua was taken aback.

At the same time, Gou Zhifeng's face turned extremely ugly. After a moment of thought, he said threateningly, "You say my son is involved in an attempted murder. Who did he try to kill? When? I remind you, some things shouldn't be said lightly, or you'll bear the consequences."

"Your son, Gou Wei, is suspected of attempting to kill a man named Ye Fan, but he failed." Li Bin said seriously, "Yes, the man who had a dispute with your son at the entrance of CC Bar tonight."

"You're talking nonsense! You're the one who committed attempted murder, and your whole family is guilty of it!" Wang Guhua, hearing this, became even more agitated and started cursing again, even more harshly than before.

Wang Kai's face changed, and he stepped forward, saying, "I warn you, if you continue to insult us and attack us, we will consider it obstruction of justice, and you will face legal consequences, just like your son."

"Hey! I also said, some things shouldn't be said lightly."

Gou Zhifeng's face turned ashen. He coldly stared at Li Bin and the others, saying, "I don't know why you say my son committed attempted murder. The fact is, my son's legs were broken! Your Chief Liu already knows about this and told me that the police will severely punish the culprit!"

"Shall I call Chief Liu to confirm?" Gou Zhifeng, furious, decided to use Liu Baojun to embarrass Li Bin and the others.

"Go ahead, call him."

"Fine!"

Gou Zhifeng was truly angry. Although he knew that dealing with officials was tricky, he felt that these three police officers were being too overbearing.

Without another word, Gou Zhifeng took out his phone and called Liu Baojun.

"Sorry, the number you dialed is temporarily unavailable."

Soon, the pleasant voice of the automated message came through the receiver, but it only made Gou Zhifeng more stunned.

After a brief moment of shock, Gou Zhifeng tried again, but the result was the same: the number was unavailable.

Seeing this, Li Bin, Wang Kai, and the fat police officer couldn't help but laugh.

For some reason, seeing their smiles, Gou Zhifeng had a bad feeling, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he called Liu Baojun's home number, as he knew Liu Baojun's home address and phone number due to their close relationship.

"Hello."

After about ten seconds, the call was answered by a woman's voice.

"Sister, it's Gou Zhifeng. I need to speak with Chief Liu."

Perhaps due to his anger or a bad feeling, Gou Zhifeng didn't use his usual polite tone but got straight to the point. Then, realizing his mistake, he added, "Sorry to disturb you and Chief Liu so late."

"Gou Zhifeng's call."

Hearing this, Liu Baojun's wife was taken aback and turned to Liu Baojun for instructions.

After the initial panic, Liu Baojun had calmed down with his wife's comfort and was analyzing the night's events. Hearing that it was Gou Zhifeng's call, he reacted instinctively, jumping up from the sofa.

"Gou Zhifeng..."

"Chief Liu, didn't you tell me that someone had been sent to deal with that gangster?"

Liu Baojun, about to speak, was interrupted by the anxious Gou Zhifeng, "Why are the police from Chunjiang Police Station saying my son is involved in an attempted murder?"

"Gou Zhifeng, you still have the nerve to call me?"

Liu Baojun, full of anger, was about to vent his frustration on Gou Zhifeng but was interrupted again. Moreover, Gou Zhifeng's accusatory tone made him even angrier, "I want to ask you what your wicked son did!"

"Uh..."

Hearing Liu Baojun's furious scolding, Gou Zhifeng was stunned and instinctively looked at Gou Wei.

"Father, it's not my fault. I didn't commit attempted murder! I really didn't!"

Gou Wei, already terrified, saw Gou Zhifeng's gaze and nervously denied it.

Hearing this, Gou Zhifeng didn't think much and said to Liu Baojun, "Sorry, Chief Liu, I was just a bit anxious. My son says he didn't commit attempted murder!"

"Sorry? Gou Zhifeng, I'll tell you, Chief Dong personally asked about this case and ordered me to report to his office tomorrow morning!"

Liu Baojun, like a lit fuse, shouted, "You better hope your son didn't do anything, or I'll be fired, and you won't be off the hook either!"

"Click!"

With that, Liu Baojun angrily hung up.

"Beep... beep..."

The call ended, and the busy signal came through the receiver, but Gou Zhifeng's mind was still echoing with Liu Baojun's last words, and his gaze involuntarily returned to Gou Wei.

"Father, I... I really didn't do anything!"

Gou Wei, terrified and at a loss, tried to defend himself again, but his words only confirmed Li Bin and the others' suspicions of his involvement in the attempted murder.

"Mr. Gou, do you still want to make a call?"

Seeing Gou Zhifeng looking like a wilted eggplant, Li Bin reminded him, "If you want to make another call, go ahead. If not, we will start questioning your son, and we ask you and your wife to step aside."

"Zhifeng, what's wrong with Xiaowei?"

Wang Guhua, though used to causing trouble, was a practical person who knew how to read the situation. Seeing Gou Zhifeng's expression, she felt uneasy.

"Tell me the truth. What did you do? Why did you have a dispute with that person?"

Gou Zhifeng stared intently at Gou Wei. Although he didn't know what had happened, his rationality told him that Gou Wei must have done something to give the other party a handle, which had turned the tables.

"I... I was drunk and accidentally hit him with my car, and then he beat me up..." Gou Wei lied in fear, not daring to reveal that Su Feiyu had ordered him to run over Ye Fan.

"Is that so?"

Before Gou Wei could finish, Li Bin coldly interrupted, "I heard you deliberately ran him over, trying to kill him..."

"No... It wasn't me! It was Su Feiyu!!" Gou Wei, in a panic, denied it, inadvertently revealing the truth.

"Su Feiyu told you to run over Ye Fan, right?"

Li Bin smiled, thinking that Gou Wei, a spoiled rich kid, was much easier to deal with than experienced criminals.

Without answering, Gou Wei looked at Gou Zhifeng in fear and cried out, "Father, it's not my fault. It was Su Feiyu's idea. You have to save me!"

"Good-for-nothing!"

Gou Wei's answer was a kick!

Bang!

Enraged, Gou Zhifeng kicked Gou Wei off the mobile bed!
