The operation was still underway. Si Yu rushed over and hugged Gu Xizhou. He felt the person in his arms tremble, and he patted Gu Xizhou’s back.
He offered silent comfort.
“Nothing will go wrong.”
Ma Qi interjected and used himself as an example to say, “Xiao Si is right. You also know me. Before I transferred, I was a frequent visitor to the emergency room, but I never died.”
Gu Xizhou hummed in agreement, looking at the door of the operating room. Si Yu held Gu Xizhou lightly and said, “He’ll be fine, now and in the future.”
It wasn’t until dawn the next day that the rescue finished.
The bespectacled doctor took off his surgical mask with an exhausted expression. He said, “The patient’s life is no longer in danger.”
“Can we go in and see him now?”
“Yes,” the doctor replied softly. “But he isn’t awake yet, and he won’t wake up for some time. Fortunately, you sent him to the hospital fast enough. Otherwise, he’d be dead instead of just sustaining grave injuries on his left side.”
“He can’t move it..?” Gu Xizhou asked, realizing something.
The doctor immediately waved his arm and shook his head. He said, “It’s not that he can’t move it, it’s just that in the future he shouldn’t lift heavy things.”
Gu Xizhou: “I understand. Thank you, Doctor.”
Gu Xizhou was very depressed, and he didn’t know how to tell Fang Zhi about what the doctor said. After taking a deep breath, he went in for a look. Fang Zhi’s eyes were closed, and the wounds on his head and limbs had already been stitched up. Gu Xizhou looked at him for a long time before forcing a smile. “I’ll go back to the station first to interrogate those bastards.”
“I’ll drive you,” Si Yu said warmly, standing beside him.
Gu Xizhou: “Okay.”
Si Yu started the car, and Gu Xizhou sat in the passenger seat, lost in thought. He watched the scenery go by outside the window.
Once the car reached the police station, Gu Xizhou said, “It’s been hard. You should go back and sleep. Yesterday you kept me company all night. You must be tired.”
“I’m not tired.” Si Yu smiled and opened his door, following Gu Xizhou. He walked inside the station lobby and looked for a place to sit. “I’ll wait here for you.”
“You don’t need to trouble yourself,” Gu Xizhou said with a heavy voice.
Si Yu: “I want to wait for you.”

Gu Xizhou gulped.
He went in, taking the information one of the little officers handed him.
Ren Pengzheng, 52 years old this year. Twenty years ago, he was a doctor at a large hospital, but due to receiving bribes from a pharmaceutical company, he was fired.
Full name.” The little officer began the interrogation.
“Ren Pengzheng.”
“Age.”
“Fifty two.”
Then the man began to confess about the criminal organization.
“In one month, I generally work about five or six times. I’m only one of his doctors.”
Gu Xizhou hadn’t spoken yet, but here he interrupted. “Where do you bury the corpses?”
“What?” Ren Pengzheng looked startled by the question.
“Twenty years ago, in Linshi, you killed someone. Where did you bury the officer’s body?” Gu Xizhou repeated.
Ren Pengzheng’s mouth closed, and he looked like he was remembering something. After a moment, he shook his head and said, “I don’t know. That wasn’t my job. I’ll tell you the truth. I know I’ll definitely get the death penalty, and I’ll certainly die, so I’ll tell you everything I know.
“Taking that bribe is my greatest regret in life. If I hadn’t, I wouldn’t have been fired and been unable to find a job, and I wouldn’t have ended up doing this.”
Gu Xizhou glanced at Ren Pengzheng. Some death row prisoners knew they would be executed, so they refused to say anything, but this guy was willing to spill it all.
“Who was your boss?”
“Liao Chunhua. He’s xx company’s pharmaceutical representative.”
Pharmaceutical representative? Gu Xizhou and the other officer were surprised. No wonder this person could enter and exit the hospitals as he pleased. It was because his original identity was a pharmaceutical representative!
Ren Pengzheng easily gave away the person’s name, then told them where he lived and other places he might go. “I’ve told you everything I know. Go arrest him!”
“Back then, was it him who bribed you?” asked Gu Xizhou.
After a long silence, Ren Pengzheng gave a barely perceptible nod. After that, he said no more.
Because Liao Chunhua and Ren Pengzheng’s communication was always unidirectional, those people were terrified at the sudden appearance of police officers, but no one called Liao Chunhua. Gu Xizhou took people to Liao Chunhua’s villa and arrested him.
“What are you doing?”
A young man’s face was shocked as he gaped at Gu Xizhou and the others, who’d broken down the door and rushed in. “Why are you arresting my father?”
Gu Xizhou ignored him. He cuffed Liao Chunhua and asked, “Do you know why we’re arresting you?”
Liao Chunhua was pale, and he whispered, “Please don’t tell my family…”
Gu Xizhou ignored his pleas and swept his gaze over the Liao family members. “According to our laws, we’re now arresting the criminal suspect Liao Chunhua. Liao Chunhua is involved in human organ trafficking, homicide, assault, carrying a lethal weapon, and other charges,” he said.
“Wh-what are you saying? Organ trafficking… murder…” Liao Chunhua’s wife fainted immediately.
Liao Chunhua’s son and daughter froze in shock. After a second, they looked at their father and asked, trembling, “Dad, you didn’t really do it, right?”
Liao Chunhua: “No! They’re talking nonsense!”
Gu Xizhou looked at him with a raised eyebrow. “Talking nonsense? The evidence is conclusive. Ren Pengzheng told us everything.”
Finally, Gu Xizhou looked at Liao Chunhua’s children and said, “The house you live in is built on a foundation of flesh and blood. He didn’t just sell people’s kidneys, he sold their hearts.”
When Gu Xizhou finished speaking, Liao Chunhua noticed his children quivering from head to toe, and they looked at him with an unfathomable gaze. He denied it urgently: “I-I didn’t… Don’t believe him…”
“The court will decide whether that’s true.” Gu Xizhou directly pushed him forward to leave, simultaneously speaking to Liao Chunhua’s children, who instinctively moved to block him. “Don’t block my way, or I’ll charge you with obstruction of justice.”
Liao Chunhua’s children rushed over and wrestled with the officers, hitting while they howled, “He’s definitely not like that! My dad isn’t that kind of person…”
Gu Xizhou glanced at the two of them. “These two committed assault: arrest them together.”
“Yes, Leader Gu!”
All three people were herded into the car and escorted to the police department.
Liao Chunhua wouldn’t say a single word, refusing to admit his involvement in the matter.
Gu Xizhou said, “Let me be clear with you: I’m not actually interested in whether you confess or not. Even if you don’t confess, we have sufficient evidence to convict you with the death penalty. Your family property will all be confiscated. At that time, I can give your two children who committed assault a criminal record with one brushstroke. Do you think they’ll still be able to find decent work after that?”
“You can do whatever you want to me, but leave my children alone!” Liao Chunhua exclaimed, staring at Gu Xizhou.
Gu Xizhou gave a smile that didn’t quite look like a smile. “No, it’s not me, it’s you. It’s you doing this to them.”
“I…” Liao Chunhua clutched his hands together, his eyes showing a hint of ruthlessness. Then, he opened his mouth and suddenly turned sideways. “I have to wait for my lawyer.”
“The evidence of your crimes is airtight; it’s useless to wait for a lawyer.” Gu Xizhou raised an eyebrow and walked over to shut off the monitoring device.
“Leader Gu, what are you doing? This is illegal!”
At the same time, Gu Xizhou put a hand behind his back and locked the door before sitting in front of Liao Chunhua. Liao Chunhua watched his actions and jumped, obviously wary and not knowing what the person in front of him wanted to do…
Gu Xizhou asked heavily: “Twenty years ago in Linshi, there were two police officers who went missing. Where did you bury those people?”
Liao Chunhua: “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
Gu Xizhou: “Don’t know?”
Liao Chunhua suddenly laughed, saying to him, “If you really want to know, come closer. I’ll tell you.”
Gu Xizhou approached Liao Chunhua, and Liao Chunhua moved over to Gu Xizhou’s ear and lowered his voice, ensuring no one could record what he said. “Who the fuck can remember where they buried two random half-breed bastards? Especially those two-legged sheep? Are you fucking kidding me?”
Mixed-breed bastards. Two-legged sheep.
Gu Xizhou’s fury rose in a flash, going straight to his head. Scenes from the past repeatedly appeared in his mind. The girl who lost her heart, the man without lungs… His colleague who had his cornea sliced out and went blind…
Gu Xizhou suddenly stood up, grabbing Liao Chunhua’s head and smashing it into the desk until his head was broken and blood was flowing. He cursed, “Fuck you!”
“Hahaha, you beat me! Police brutality!!”
Gu Xizhou beat Liao Chunhua until his coworkers finally kicked down the door and desperately dragged him off.
Liao Chunhua spat out blood and cursed, “Son of a bitch, you beat me! I want to report you… Hahaha, you’re finished!!”
Gu Xizhou: “Laozi won’t be a police officer anymore; Today Laozi will kill you!”
Gu Xizhou was originally very strong. He shook off the people surrounding him and went up to beat Liao Chunhua again, beating him until he lost consciousness.
Wang Ao heard the news and hastily rushed over to see Gu Xizhou sitting astride Liao Chunhua’s prone body and beating him. He roared, “Stop! What are you doing?!”
Gu Xizhou released Liao Chunhua, who’d already been beaten to the point of no longer being human, and breathed deeply through his nose. “Hitting someone! I’m not a police officer anymore.”
Wang Ao spoke furiously, “Isn’t this what you said should never be done? Ah? I know you’re angry, we’re all angry, but our nation has laws! No one can use private punishment or torture! No one!”
Then Wang Ao looked at the unconscious Liao Chunhua and pulled Gu Xizhou out, saying, “Do you know how much harm such impulsive actions can bring you?
“Previously, you coincidentally caught a drug dealer while handling a case, and you could be promoted in one year at most, but what are you doing now? Look at yourself! Now! Now… hurry up and think of a way!” Wang Ao was under a lot of pressure, and he didn’t know how he should handle this matter.
Gu Xizhou was silent for a moment, then he turned around, opened the office door, and directly wrote a resignation letter. He handed it to Wang Ao. “I really beat a criminal, and I shut off the monitoring. He reported me. The reason is unknown. I beat someone, so I beat someone.
“Uncle Wang, My mom doesn’t want me to be a police officer, so I won’t be one, now or in the future. Thank you for taking care of me for so many years.”
Ohhh! He quit 😩 thank you for the update ❤️
Future occupation : house husband.
Or, CEO’s secretary?
After 20 years the culprit was finally caught. But, why do I feel this kinda easy ? I mean, I thought they would be like those underlings of gangsters who were completely loyal to their boss and wouldn’t say anything even if they died. But unexpectedly they just confessed like that ? Well thats kinda a relief ig ?
