Chapter 180: A Twist of Fate – The Villagers Demand Justice for the Jiang Family

"Our Dayu Island already lacks doctors, and now we have a doctor who doesn't value human life..."

He initially told us that the medical treatment was free, and we only needed to exchange it for herbs. Later, he said that he had no vegetables or eggs at home, and that his children were not getting enough nutrition.

Isn't this just a roundabout way of asking for things? The vegetables and eggs are minor things; we have our own. We'll accept them if they're given to us.

"But then, the Jiang family actually asked us for money, saying that we hadn't paid them before and that they'd put it all on our tab..." The man finished speaking and handed over a book of IOUs.

It says on it: which villager went to see the doctor on which date, what medicine was used, and how much it cost.

Li Zhiping's expression grew increasingly grim as he looked at the village. The more he investigated, the more he found the exact same results as before.

Deputy Director Bai said with a serious expression: "No wonder the Jiang family's affairs were reported in the newspapers. They've driven people to desperation by exploiting the people like this."

"Sigh, I really didn't expect that there would be such a corrupt official in my jurisdiction. Investigator Li, this is my dereliction of duty. If the organization punishes me, I will definitely reflect on it."

Seeing his expression, Li Zhiping smiled and said, "Director Bai, don't say that. It just means these bad people are very good at hiding their true colors. I will also tell the leadership about this matter since you recognized your mistake in time."

A female reporter accompanying the group quickly jotted down what the people were saying, and a smile appeared on her face after she finished writing it all down.

Dr. Su really helped her a lot this time.

Once this is over, she must treat Dr. Su to a good meal.

"Investigator Li, it's getting late. Let's head back first. It'll take quite a while to get back to town by boat. We'll make it tonight, so I'll treat you to dinner," Deputy Director Bai said with a smile.

Li Zhiping nodded and followed him toward the shore. Before they had even left the village, Wu Degui ran over in a panic, looking at Deputy Director Bai and stammering, "Sister, brother-in-law."

Something terrible has happened. It's a huge disaster.

Deputy Director Bai glared at him fiercely, then glanced apologetically at Li Zhiping: "Investigator Li, this is my brother-in-law. He insisted on coming with me to broaden his horizons this time."

"So I brought him here." He finished speaking and then looked at his brother-in-law, asking somewhat angrily, "What happened?"

Wu Degui glanced at Li Zhiping, then hesitated and didn't dare to speak.

Li Zhiping glanced at Deputy Director Bai: "Director Bai, you tell us what to do, we'll go wait on the shore first."

Deputy Director Bai nodded, pulled Wu Degui aside, and directly reprimanded him: "From now on, when there are outsiders, you are not allowed to call me brother-in-law, call me Director Bai, understand?"

Wu Degui nodded: "Brother-in-law, something's happened."

"Shut up, call me Director Bai," said Deputy Director Bai.

Wu Degui then honestly cried out, "Director Bai, something's happened."

Deputy Director Bai then picked at his ear: "What happened?"

"A lot of villagers have come up ahead, and they're carrying weapons," Wu Degui shouted.

Deputy Director Bai frowned: "That's it? They should be busy with farm work. What's there to say about this?"

Wu Degui shook his head: "No, those people are still shouting that the Jiang family is innocent."

Deputy Director Bai said "Oh," indicating that the Jiang family had indeed been wronged.

He chuckled softly, then his expression quickly turned blank: "What did you say?"

"Why didn't you say so sooner? We're doomed, we're doomed."

After he finished speaking angrily, he hurriedly chased after Li Zhiping in that direction.

Wu Degui: "Give me some time to speak!"

Li Zhiping walked towards the shore. Before he even got there, he saw a huge crowd of people, at least a hundred, including adults, children, and the elderly.

Many people are chanting the same thing: "We urge the higher-ups to clear the Jiang family's name. The Jiang family are good people. We urge the higher-ups to clear the Jiang family's name."

"The Jiang family are good people..."

"What's going on?" one of the investigators asked.

Li Zhiping frowned slightly, looked at the crowd, and quickly walked over: "Everyone, please be quiet. I'm an investigator sent down from the province. What's the story behind your claim that the Jiang family was wronged?"

Dean Chen stepped forward as a representative and recounted the story of how the Jiang family treated patients without expecting anything in return, and how they donated various prescriptions free of charge.

As Deputy Director Bai caught up, he quickly shouted, "Investigator Li, don't be fooled by this man. He's the director of Dayu Island Hospital, and he's in cahoots with that Jiang family girl."

"You're talking nonsense. Who doesn't know that our Dean Chen is a good person?"

He never lies. The only reason he speaks up for Dr. Jiang is because Dr. Jiang is a good person,” Dr. Luo said cursingly.

Shi Guirong and Zhou Amei's family also stepped forward: "Dr. Jiang is a good person. She saved hundreds of people in our Dayu Island village."

"If you don't believe me, investigator, you can go and ask everyone in the village."

Upon hearing this, Deputy Director Bai immediately laughed: "I have already taken the investigators to each village to inquire."

"Did you go to all the villages? Did you ask all the villagers? Or did you specifically choose the villages and villagers that you, Deputy Director Bai, had selected?" The village chief of Shimo Village stepped forward and asked.

Deputy Director Bai's face immediately fell, but he still straightened his back and said, "Village Chief Shi, are you deliberately trying to make things difficult for me?"

Believe me or not, I'll fire you right now and send you and your family from Jiajiang to the countryside.

"Deputy Director Bai really has quite the airs of an official." Director Sun walked over slowly, with people from the military region standing behind him.

Upon seeing him, Deputy Director Bai stiffened, his imposing demeanor instantly crumbling: "Director, I... I'm doing this to investigate the case; we can't let any issues go unaddressed!"

Director Sun continued walking forward to Li Zhiping and introduced, "You must be the investigator from the province. I am the Deputy Secretary of the Qian Revolutionary Committee of * City. I am here to coordinate with you on this investigation."

This matter involves the reputation of military personnel, and we will jointly investigate it with the political officer of the garrison area.

"Hello, Investigator Li, I am Miao, an officer from the Political Department of the Military Region."

Assigned by the commander of the garrison area, I participated in this joint investigation and was responsible for liaison between the military and local authorities and on-site supervision.

"We will fully cooperate with the local investigation team in collecting evidence in accordance with regulations," said Officer Miao, standing upright and courteous.

Deputy Director Bai's face grew increasingly grim as he watched these people huddle together. He wanted to stop them, but it was too late.

As he watched these people head back towards Dayu Island Village, Deputy Director Bai slowed his pace.

Inside the family compound, the Jiang family's affair had escalated to such a serious point that Yang Xiaohua stood by the roadside, cracking sunflower seeds as she raised her voice and said, "No wonder some people hire nannies and have two or three meat dishes every day. It turns out they've been embezzling so much of the people's money. Bah! They're truly heartless."

"Yang Xiaohua, you need to provide evidence when you speak. It's easy to make accusations out of thin air, but if you can't produce proof, it's just spreading rumors." Jiang Linwan stood at her doorstep, her expression calm and her words clear.

Yang Xiaohua laughed when she heard this: "Jiang Linwan, what are you still pretending for? The shady things your family did have already been reported in the newspapers."

You just wait until your whole family is sent to the countryside, to a labor camp, and who knows, maybe even to jail. People with your black hearts should be shot.
