Underworld: Starting with conquering countless lustful beauties

During the scuffle, Xiao Ma was hit on the shoulder by a security guard's baton while trying to protect Hao Mei. Hao Mei was also pushed and fell to the ground. The camera crashed to the ground with a "crack," and the lens shattered on the ground.

"Someone's being assaulted! Security guards are hitting a reporter!"

In the chaos, the office door opened.

A man in his forties, wearing gold-rimmed glasses and with slicked-back hair, came out. He was wearing a white lab coat and even carrying a steaming cup of Longjing tea.

It was Zhou Liren.

He glanced at the shattered camera lens and the aching pony on the ground, his eyes devoid of any emotion, instead carrying a condescending disdain.

"What's all this commotion?" Zhou Liren blew on his tea leaves and said slowly, "Who are you people?"

"I'm Hao Mei, a reporter from the Donghai Daily. I'd like to interview you about this medical malpractice incident!"

Zhou Liren said impatiently, "What's so interesting about this trivial matter?"

Hao Mei was so angry her nose almost twisted out of shape. "A small matter? That's a human life, a five-month-old baby!"

"That child was already physically weak, and surgical complications are a very normal medical phenomenon. I am also very sorry that he died, but that's fate. You people don't understand medicine and are just making a fuss about it."

Hao Mei was trembling with anger, pointing her finger at him: "You were on the phone talking about lottery tickets during surgery, and that's considered a medical phenomenon?!"

Zhou Liren's face darkened, his eyes turning sinister: "Young lady, you can't just say whatever you want. Do you have any evidence? Without evidence, it's slander. Besides..."

He took a step closer, lowered his voice, and sneered in a tone only Hao Mei could hear: "I'm the dean's nephew, and this Second Hospital is my family's business. What can a little reporter like you do to me? Who do you think you are? Is your dad the police chief? Mind your own business."

After saying that, he splashed the tea on the ground, turned around and went into his office, slamming the door shut.

Hao Mei stood there, stunned and speechless by the blatant arrogance and malice.

For the next two days, Hao Mei ran around conducting investigations like a madwoman.

However, the nurse who had initially agreed to testify suddenly changed her mind and said she had misremembered.

There were no surveillance cameras in the operating room, and even the newspaper's editor-in-chief suppressed her article, saying that "in order to maintain the stability of doctor-patient relations, it is not advisable to escalate the conflict," which clearly indicated that she had received some kind of "instruction."

In despair, Hao Mei returned home and knocked on her father Hao Jianguo's study door.

"Dad, Zhou Liren is a monster! You must investigate him! I want to expose him!"

Hao Jianguo sat behind his desk, took a deep drag on his cigarette, and looked at his daughter's face, which was brimming with a sense of justice, with a complex expression in his eyes.

"Xiaomei, I've heard about this. The relevant authorities have investigated, but the evidence is incomplete, and... some sensitive people are involved."

"Who?!" Hao Mei's eyes widened in disbelief. "Dad, you're the police chief! The city's upright official! Are you afraid of that hospital director too?"

"It's not fear."

Hao Jianguo rubbed his temples wearily. "Behind that hospital director are several retired senior leaders in the city, and the relationships are very complicated. And that Zhou Liren, although he has a bad reputation for medical ethics, his surgical records are flawless, making it difficult to convict him legally. That's the reality."

"Reality?" Hao Mei took two steps back, tears welling up in her eyes. "Reality is that bad people go unpunished while good people have nowhere to turn? Reality is that a five-month-old baby died in vain?"

"Some things are not simply black and white."

Hao Mei looked at her father's familiar face and suddenly felt incredibly unfamiliar with him.

She turned and rushed out of the house, into the cold night of the East China Sea.

At that moment, the ivory tower in her heart collapsed.

……

Hao Mei couldn't continue speaking; tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.

Chen Feng clenched his fists tighter and tighter under the table, his knuckles turning white.

"Why didn't you call me when you were being bullied?"

"What happened to the doctor? How did they handle it?"

"deal with?"

Hao Mei sneered, a smile more like a grimace. "He's the dean's nephew! The dean personally intervened and suppressed the matter, saying things like 'surgery inherently carries risks' and 'force majeure'... What utter bullshit!"

She slammed her fist on the table, causing the wine glasses to overturn.

"When I went to interview him, Zhou Liren, do you know what he said? He said—'That kid has bad luck, who can you blame? Blame me? This is his fate!'"

Chen Feng's eyes suddenly turned icy cold.

"My assistant, Xiao Ma, was beaten up by the hospital security guards just for taking a few photos!" Hao Mei cried. "I went to my dad, hoping he could help... but he said the hospital director has connections, a relative of a certain leader in the city, and told me to just leave it at that... leave it at that! A human life! A five-month-old baby! Just let it go like that?!"

She lay on the table, sobbing uncontrollably.

At this moment, Hao Mei was nowhere to be seen with her usual haughty young lady demeanor. Her eyes were red and swollen, her gaze unfocused, and she looked like a rose ravaged by a storm, exuding a heartbreaking sense of despondency.

"Chen Feng... Waaah... That baby is only five months old! His intestines are sticking out... He was on the phone buying lottery tickets... He said it's fate..."

Chen Feng remained silent for a long time.

He thought of his past, of the little people who were oppressed but had nowhere to seek justice, and of the dark, shadowy corners of this world.

There are some things that the law can't handle.

Some people are beyond the reach of the law.

But Chen Feng can.

"Hao Mei." Chen Feng's voice was deep and firm.

Hao Mei looked up at him, her eyes blurry with tears.

Chen Feng pulled a tissue from the table, gently wiped away her tears, then stared into her eyes and said, word by word:

"Leave this to me. He bullied you, I'll make him wish he were dead!"

"You?" Hao Mei was stunned. "What can you do?"

Chen Feng's lips curled into a cold, sharp smile, a smile that sent chills down one's spine.

He stood up and draped his coat over Hao Mei's shoulders.

"Just you wait and see."

Looking into Chen Feng's eyes, which were burning with anger, Hao Mei suddenly felt a sense of security she had never felt before.

This man is a man of his word.

……

Chen Feng first took the heavily intoxicated Hao Mei home (he didn't dare take her back to Director Hao's house, but instead took her to the newspaper office dormitory), and asked her colleagues to help take care of her.

As soon as he stepped out of the dormitory building, the gentleness on Chen Feng's face vanished instantly.

He took out his phone and dialed the monkey's number.

"Monkey, no matter where you are right now, immediately take Dazhuang and Ergou, along with two quick-witted strangers. Find me a doctor named Zhou Liren at the Second Hospital. I need to know where he is and what he's doing."

On the other end of the phone, Monkey sensed the barely suppressed murderous intent in Chen Feng's tone and didn't dare ask a single unnecessary question: "Understood! Give me an answer within an hour!"

Forty minutes later, Feng Hua was on the battlefield.

Monkey, Da Zhuang, and Er Gou were already waiting in the office. Seeing Chen Feng's ashen face, they all knew that something big was going to happen tonight.

"Did you find it?" Chen Feng asked as soon as he entered the room.

"Found it!" The monkey handed over a piece of paper filled with information.

"Zhou Liren, 43 years old, deputy director of the pediatrics department at the Second People's Hospital of Donghai City." Monkey flipped through the files. "This guy is a scoundrel. His medical skills are mediocre, but because he's the hospital director's nephew, he's always been able to sit back and relax his position."

"It's said he's had several medical malpractice incidents before, but they were always covered up. Recently, however, things have gotten quite messy because of an infant."

"Where does he live?" Chen Feng asked.

"Jingang Apartment in Beicheng District"

The monkey chuckled, a hint of lewdness in his voice: "That bastard Zhou Liren is quite the ladies' man. His wife and kids are all in the provincial capital, but he's got a recent pharmaceutical sales representative hidden away in this golden house. They're probably 'discussing medical techniques' in bed right now."
