I bought a secret manual of the Hehuan Sect for ten yuan.

"When did I say I was drinking with you right now?"

"I have to go out for a bit. You and Old Sun play a few games of chess first, and we'll drink again when I get back!"

Upon hearing Qin Ge's words, Qiu Ang's eyes darted around, and he immediately became unhappy. "Why are you suddenly so interested in asking me out for drinks? You ignored me the few times I tried to contact you before!"

"So they just wanted to use me as a free bodyguard!"

"I treat you like a brother, and you try to outsmart me. You go out and have fun while I stay home and act as your free babysitter. What kind of deal is that?"

"I won't do it!"

"Now that you're here, are you really going to leave?" Qin Ge revealed a sly smile. "How about we make a bet?"

"Let's fight. If you win, you go. If I win, you do as I say!"

Qiu Ang: "..."

I can't beat you, so what's the point of fighting? Isn't this just blatant bullying of honest people?

Sun Shizheng, his childlike spirit suddenly awakened, deliberately put on a stern face and asked, "What's wrong? Is playing chess with this old man a disservice to you?"

"If that's the case, then I'll have to calculate the consultation fees I received at the Shadow Martial Hall a few days ago!"

"A single consultation costs 30,000 yuan, acupuncture and medication are extra. You better calculate that for me!"

"Thirty thousand?!" Qiu Ang's eyes widened. "Are you robbing me?!"

"I've figured it out, this place is basically a bandit's den!"

His attitude suddenly changed completely, and a smile spread across his face. "Mr. Sun, what are you saying? We're all family here, it's not good to be so formal!"

"Come, let me play chess with you. I love playing chess the most."

"However, your chess skills are superb, and I know I'm no match for you. You'll have to let me win!"

After teasing Qiu Ang, Qin Ge took Sun Miaomiao and Le Fei out.

"Where's your fake mask? Are you going out like this?"

"That thing is meaningless now. Anyone interested in me already knows I'm in Beidu. Besides, this way I look cooler!"

"Pah! Narcissistic..."

"You're Grandpa Sun's granddaughter, you're the star of the show today, not me!"

"What protagonist? He's clearly using people as bait, you bastard!"

"..."

Le Fei watched Qin Ge and Sun Miaomiao bickering, her attention completely elsewhere. "Where are we going to play?"

Qin Ge thought for a moment, "Since we're going out to show off, we should naturally go where there are lots of people!"

Le Fei's eyes sparkled. "Let's go to the amusement park!"

"Didn't you have enough fun last time?" Qin Ge said, both amused and exasperated. "The murderer still hasn't been caught. Aren't you afraid of reliving the nightmare?"

More than an hour later, the three arrived at a bustling pedestrian street.

When Qin Ge parked his car and found Sun Miaomiao and the other woman, they were watching something interesting in a small square.

The small square was packed with people, and the air was filled with lively discussion.

"What are you two looking at?" Qin Ge patted Sun Miaomiao on the shoulder.

Sun Miaomiao and Le Fei turned around at the same time, their eyes filled with anger. They didn't say anything, but pointed in the same direction without prior agreement.

Qin Ge looked in the direction the two were pointing and saw three people surrounding the center of the crowd.

One of the men and women appeared to be around thirty years old, and they seemed to be a couple. Standing next to them was a woman in her fifties.

All three looked haggard and were sobbing uncontrollably.

Behind them, someone held a banner that read: "A life for a life, blood for blood!", "A heartless hospital, utterly devoid of conscience!", "We only demand justice!"...

Qin Ge didn't quite understand. "What do you mean? Shouldn't this kind of thing happen inside or outside the hospital? Why is it here?"

"There doesn't seem to be a hospital nearby!"

"We only heard the gist of it," Sun Miaomiao explained. "Among the three, the young man and woman were a couple, and their five-month-old baby died during a surgery that shouldn't have been life-threatening."

"The older woman next to them is the child's grandmother, and the people holding the banner behind them are concerned netizens who want to help their family get justice."

Qin Ge was still puzzled. "Shouldn't they be at the hospital? Why are they here?"

Sun Miaomiao said, "It seems to be a hospital in Mocheng. If you can think of it, why wouldn't others?"

"They must have already caused a scene at the hospital, but to no avail. They've come here out of desperation, hoping to increase their exposure and create public pressure!"

Qin Ge felt a pang of sympathy. "When ordinary people are shrouded in darkness and have nowhere to turn, the only thing they can think of to see the light of day is to use extreme methods."

Le Fei grabbed Qin Ge's arm and shook it, "Please help them, I know you can definitely help!"

"They've garnered so much support from netizens, I believe them, right, Sister Miaomiao?"

"How can we help if we don't even know the truth?" Qin Ge glanced around and went around to the back of the three people.

The three were surrounded so tightly that it was difficult to squeeze in or ask questions.

He squeezed next to a young woman holding one end of a banner. "Hello, we'd like to know more about their situation. If you know anything, would you mind telling us?"

Before the young woman could even speak, her eyes welled up with tears. "Xiao Luo is so pitiful..."

"It was supposed to be a basic, routine surgery with a very high success rate, but what was originally expected to be a three-hour procedure turned into more than seven hours. Who could have imagined that a surgery would take her life? She was only five months pregnant!"

"Do you know that Xiao Luo's small body was covered in bruises, her mouth and nose were filled with blood, and there was even blood in her stomach? She was so hungry that she drank her own blood as if it were milk!"

She broke down in tears, saying, "Her throat was swollen, and her fingers were digging into her flesh. Can you imagine how much pain she endured before she died?"

"What's even more infuriating is that the wound on her chest wasn't even stitched up. She was just left coldly on a diaper pad, left to dry for hours, without even a blanket to cover her body!"

"She's only five months old! Her mother prayed everywhere and spent hundreds of thousands to save the pregnancy—it was her precious baby!"

"I'm a mother too, and I truly cannot accept this reality. Those evildoers must pay the price!"

The young woman took out her phone, her hands trembling as she swiped the screen and pulled up a photo.

Sun Miaomiao and Le Fei stepped forward, and the others who were listening nearby also joined in, their hearts pierced by just one glance.

The photo shows a baby girl with her eyes closed, a single tear hanging from the corner of her eye beneath her long eyelashes.

Their hearts seemed to be seared by that single tear, and they instantly understood why these complete strangers were so eager to help Xiao Luo and her family.

Sun Miaomiao and Le Fei quickly looked away, tears streaming down their faces, staring intently at Qin Ge.

Qin Ge pulled them aside. "Have the Jiang family investigate this. If it's true, just have the Shadow Martial Hall take down that hospital!"

"However, things may not be as simple as they seem. There are too many suspicious points, and the fact that such a thing could be suppressed, forcing the family to seek justice in this way, means that there must be a lot of powerful forces involved behind the scenes."
