Era: I was a farmer at the foot of Yaoling Mountain

"People's hearts have changed!"

In all his years of practicing medicine, this was the first time Sun Daoren had encountered such a situation. As for Binbin, needless to say, the child hadn't even entered society yet, how could he know the wickedness of people's hearts?

“Such exceptional individuals are extremely rare; most people couldn’t do something like this. Daoist Master, please rest assured, I will handle this matter.”

Fang Wei felt something was wrong when he ran away, and now, looking back, the reactions of his fellow villagers were very strange.

Instead of stopping Fang Wei and the others, they seemed to be watching that family make a fool of themselves.

The next day, he asked someone to go to Wujialing to collect some witness testimonies. Sure enough, that family was no good, and this wasn't the first time they had tried to extort money like this.

Fang Wei then went with Sun Daoren to find the introducer; if it weren't for the introducer, Sun Daoren and Binbin wouldn't have made this trip.

“Secretary Fang, Taoist priest, I really didn’t know that family would do such a thing. It was the patient’s family who asked me to plead with the Taoist priest, and that’s how I got involved in this matter. I really had no ill intentions.”

The middleman was filled with regret. She didn't know the patient at all; she was only involved because the patient's family asked her to.

You can't lie about this; just ask the patient's family members and you'll find out.

Sun Daoren did not blame the middleman, as the other party had only meant well and was not in cahoots with that family to frame them.

"It seems to be an isolated incident. That family is used to extorting money; they're just plain bad."

As long as no one was sabotaging him behind his back, Fang Wei didn't think it was a big deal.

A few days later, the autopsy report came out, and the conclusion was almost identical to the county hospital's assessment. In other words, the patient was already terminally ill, and it just so happened that Sun Daoren and his group arrived at the right time.

Therefore, this matter has nothing to do with Master Sun, and the other party's unreasonable demands will naturally not be supported.

Given the emotional distress this incident caused Sun Daoren, Fang Wei announced at the clinic that from now on, Sun Daoren would no longer provide door-to-door medical care; critically ill patients should go directly to the county hospital, and the clinic would not admit them.

After this news was released, countless people hated that family.

That family didn't have an easy time in the village either. Everyone knew the whole story, so who would dare to associate with them? As a result, without realizing it, that family was isolated by everyone.

Fang Wei did not take any further retaliatory action. To be honest, this family was so disgusting that he didn't even want to get his hands dirty.

After some time, he heard that the younger generation of the family couldn't stand the strange looks from the villagers and had all gone to work in the south.

That shameless old man was all alone at home, and no one in the village paid any attention to him.

It's almost the end of the month.

Fang Wei took her family to Guangzhou again.

They brought Binbin here for the second round of interviews and tests. Xiaojie will fly from here to Chengdu later; there are only a few days left in the summer vacation.

Beijing.

Sun Shili has been enjoying great success recently, and as time goes by, the [Nongyou Boutique 016] rice variety has gained increasing recognition from experts.

Hybrid rice is a challenging breeding process, but the [Nongyou Boutique 016] rice variety has not only overcome various breeding difficulties, but also has excellent quality and yields that exceed everyone's expectations.

This is a perfect hybrid rice variety, and naturally it has won one award after another.

Sun Shili deserves credit for this achievement; it brought pride to the Institute of Crop Science. In any case, Fang Wei only cared about economic benefits and not academic achievements.

With this achievement, Sun Shili never failed to get money from his superiors.

The personnel dispatched by the Crop Research Institute to Yaoling Township have published several papers in major journals, rapidly expanding their academic influence and bringing a good reputation to the Crop Research Institute and the Yaoling Agricultural Research Institute.

He called Fang Wei several times in the past two days, but either no one answered or someone answered but Fang Wei wasn't there.

The person who answered the phone didn't know where Secretary Fang had gone either; they only knew that the secretary hadn't been to the office recently.

Sun Shili didn't really have anything important to say; he just wanted to share his joy with Fang Wei.

These days, Fang Wei has spent his time sightseeing and enjoying various delicacies with his family. Neither he nor Pan Lianhua care much about their appearance, but they can't resist the allure of delicious food.

The two little ones, in particular, love seafood, and the whole family has become regulars at the seafood wholesale market.

I bought my favorite seafood at the market and then took it to a nearby restaurant. The seafood restaurants in this area specialize in this business; they only charge a processing fee, and customers buy the ingredients themselves.

However, school was about to start soon, and Xiaojie reluctantly boarded the plane to return to school for registration.

Binbin participated in the interview and re-examination, and passed them all successfully, becoming a master's student at Yangcheng Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital University.

Fang Wei and the others then left Yangcheng and returned to their village.

"Secretary, you're finally back. Things are a bit complicated now, not just Master Sun, but you."

As soon as he arrived home, Cai Tong and two directors from the association came to his door.

Fang Wei hasn't called the organization in the last few days, and no one can reach him. It's the same old story: the old man is complaining everywhere that Fang Wei and his men beat up his two nephews, one of whom broke his arm. The old man's two nephews are the two young men guarding the door. When Fang Wei and his group rushed out, the two security guards did indeed hit them, but they didn't use much force. How could he have broken his arm?
"It really was a fracture! We were busy taking statements that day, and the deceased also needed to be taken to the county hospital, so we neglected them. It wasn't until the next day that we discovered one of them had a broken arm. They immediately reported the case and had a forensic examination done."

Because it was confirmed that the other party was extorting money, no one paid much attention to it at the time, and no case was even filed. The old man was dissatisfied and appealed from the township to the county, and then from the county to Xiangling City.

"I don't know who said something, but the case has taken a turn for the better, and the relevant departments have decided to supervise it. Secretary, I've already spoken with both of them. This isn't your fault; you didn't instigate it."

The assessment concluded that the injury was minor, but the definition of legitimate self-defense is currently very vague, making this matter quite difficult to handle.

However, it wasn't Fang Wei who made the move at the time. Cai Tong's intention was for the two security personnel to take full responsibility, as long as Fang Wei wasn't implicated.

It's estimated that the investigators will consider the specific circumstances at the time and won't take it too seriously.

“The whole thing started because of me. Although I didn’t explicitly give them orders, it was my idea to rush out. Mr. Cai, you don’t need to worry. It was that family who illegally detained Master Sun and my son, which is why I led people to rescue them.”

Fang Wei shook his head, disagreeing with shifting all the blame onto the two security guards.

This matter originally had nothing to do with the security personnel. He was the one who brought them there, and he was also the one who gave the order to rush out, so that they wouldn't be made to take the blame.

"Secretary, you..."

Cai Tong and the others wanted to continue persuading him, since the two security guards had already agreed, and there was no need for Fang Wei to insist on taking the lead.

"Okay, that's enough for now. I'm going to take a shower and grab something to eat. Maybe they'll come looking for me soon."

Fang Wei didn't give them a chance to speak further and got up to go take a shower.

Cai Tong and the others left with heavy hearts, completely baffled as to what the other party was thinking.

Fang Wei isn't the inflexible type, but it's best not to do that in this situation. Giving false testimony carries consequences, and it's better to be honest than to compound the error.

He took a shower and changed his clothes, and his older sister had already prepared the meal.

We just got back today, so we'll have something simple: a big bowl of rice noodles for everyone. It'll be a good time to rest.

the next day.

Fang Wei called Luo Zhimin, who recognized his voice and told him to come to his office immediately.

After hanging up the phone, Fang Wei drove to the county town.

"Secretary Fang, this matter is a bit troublesome. You've already figured out how to talk to the investigators, right?"

"Yes, I've made up my mind."

"Really?"

"Think about it."

There are some things Luo Zhimin can't say, but what he's thinking is probably similar to Cai Tong's.

After repeatedly confirming the information, he called the investigators to come over and instructed them to enforce the law impartially and not to engage in any underhanded tactics.

Fang Wei then went to the county bureau with the investigators.

"The incident started when that family illegally detained two of our people. We had been invited to treat a patient, but the patient vomited blood and died as soon as we started taking his pulse."

This family is wicked; they actually detained the doctor who came to provide door-to-door service, refusing to let him leave and extorting money from him. When I received the news, I called three security guards to rescue them, but they attacked me as we were leaving.”

Fang Wei recounted the situation in detail, stating that rescuing Sun Daoren and Binbin was his own idea, and that the security personnel intervened because the two young men had hit people with carrying poles first.

Nothing was premeditated; it was simply a matter of the circumstances at the time. The two security personnel acted in self-defense.

His account was very objective, without any subjective bias.

"So, you still bear some responsibility."

The investigators were having a real headache. They could tell right from wrong, but this was a really difficult case to handle.

Both sides have their own version of events, and most villagers did not see what happened clearly, but it can be confirmed that the two young men were indeed carrying carrying poles.

Now it depends on what the two security guards have to say, since Fang Wei wasn't there before, so they didn't question the two of them.

This actually gave Fang Wei and the others ample time to prepare.

“I will never shirk my responsibility, but I hope you can consider the circumstances at the time. That family was the one who illegally detained us first. We were just rescuing our own people.”

Fang Wei did not shirk responsibility, but emphasized that the circumstances at the time were quite special.

The two people detained were his elder and his biological son. He was so anxious that he did not call the police immediately.

But after rescuing the two men, he went directly to the township government and reported the case to the local police station. (End of Chapter)
