A miraculous doctor descended from the heavens.

Gu Feng frowned slightly, then turned to Ding Lisheng and said, "Uncle, I agree to this. You focus on recovering and don't think too much. I'll take good care of Hanhan."

Ding Lisheng nodded weakly and slowly closed his eyes, as if his words had exhausted all his strength.

When Gu Feng pushed open the door and came out, he found that the gangsters and their underlings had all left the corridor. But the corridor was not empty—the police filled it up as soon as the gangsters left.

In front of Ding Lisheng's ward, Ding Hanhan, the advisor, and the four powerful figures were locked in a standoff with Chu Hanzhong and his group, who wanted to go in and take a statement from Ding Lisheng.

At that moment, Gu Feng's heart skipped a beat. He even began to wonder if he had been used as a pawn by Chu Hanzhong.

Those thugs had clearly already dispersed; Chu Hanzhong and his men were lying in wait down there—they couldn't possibly have missed it. So why did they still have to launch such a large-scale attack?

Chu Hanzhong was so kind as to give me a ride to the hospital. It seemed like he did it unintentionally, but was it actually intentional?

Before getting out of the car, Chu Hanzhong's seemingly casual remark was also deliberately meant for him, with the aim of getting him to get rid of all those big brothers and little brothers so that they could easily sneak into this ward.

But why did they insist on coming up here? Looking at the group of police officers who were determined to rush into the ward, Gu Feng suddenly understood everything.

It's true that Ding Lisheng's gang is guarding this place, which is a bad influence, hindering patients from receiving normal medical treatment and interfering with the normal work of medical staff.

But more importantly, with them blocking the way, the police can't get involved in the case of the shooting of the Ding brothers, Ding Lisheng and Ding Lizhi. If Chu Hanzhong and his men dared to rush forward rashly, they would inevitably clash with those henchmen.

Thinking about this, and recalling the "earnest" and "heartfelt" words Chu Hanzhong had said to him in the car, Gu Feng realized that he had been used as a pawn in the end—Gu Feng felt as disgusted as if he had swallowed a fly alive.

However, even if Gu Feng guessed correctly, there was nothing he could do about Chu Hanzhong. It wasn't Chu Hanzhong who asked him to disperse the gang; it was Chu Hanzhong who volunteered and presumptuously did it.

In modern times, there are many things that Gu Feng is not used to or likes, but he can try to accept and try them. There is only one thing that he absolutely cannot stand, whether in ancient or modern times—being used as a pawn.

This time, however, he truly experienced the bitter taste of swallowing bitter herbs, unable to vent his anger even if he wanted to.

Chu Hanzhong saw Gu Feng, nodded, gestured for his men to retreat, and asked, "Gu Feng, has Ding Lisheng woken up?"

At that moment, Gu Feng's mind raced.

He considered flying into a rage and exploding on the spot, and he also considered questioning him with sarcastic and mocking remarks, but in the end, he simply shook his head slightly: "He's not awake yet. He just had three major surgeries, so it probably won't be that quick. Even if he does wake up, he won't be very lucid. If Uncle Zhong wants to take a statement from him, he'll have to wait at least a week."

"Oh." Chu Hanzhong was slightly disappointed. This trip was probably a waste of time—Ding Lizhi hadn't woken up yet, and Ding Lisheng was also unavailable. All the little tricks he had played on Gu Feng at the risk of his life were for nothing.

Just as he was about to pack up and leave, Gu Feng said again, "Uncle Zhong, the advisor was present when the shooting happened. If you want to know what happened, just find the advisor."

Upon hearing this, the advisor immediately rolled his eyes at Gu Feng, inwardly cursing: "You're really shameless, kid. I know Old Chu's daughter is indeed stunning, but if you want to woo her, you don't need to use me as a favor to curry favor with this guy who might just be your future father-in-law, do you?"

The clerk was extremely displeased, but Chu Hanzhong was overjoyed. He was struggling to figure out where to begin with this case, so he turned to the clerk and said, "Then please cooperate, clerk, is that alright?"

"That's great! Police-community cooperation is what I, as a good citizen, should do," the clerk replied, not forgetting to give Bai Gufeng another look. The meaning couldn't be clearer: You're just causing me trouble.

Gu Feng once again selectively became deaf and blind, appearing unable to see or hear anything.

Ding Hanhan found it somewhat strange: Making trouble for no reason didn't seem like Gu Feng's style. What was he trying to achieve by doing this?

The clerk's notes were taken by Chu Hanzhong himself, with Gu Feng and Ding Hanhan accompanying him. They were just idling around anyway, and they were awake all the time.

After taking statements, the shooting case finally made some progress. Chu Hanzhong then prepared to call off his team and head back. However, while his arrival was quite easy, leaving was not so simple—the one who stopped him was not a gangster, but Gu Feng.

"Uncle Zhong, you've already learned about the details of this shooting, right?" Gu Feng asked earnestly.

"Hmm." Chu Hanzhong nodded, but he didn't quite understand why he asked that question.

"So now it's confirmed that someone did want to kill Ding Lisheng and Ding Lizhi, right?" Gu Feng asked again.

"Basically, I guess." Chu Hanzhong had a vague feeling that something was wrong, but he still didn't know what tricks Gu Feng was up to.

"Uncle Zhong, since someone clearly wants these two people dead, it proves their personal safety is under threat. Doesn't your police force have an obligation and responsibility to protect these two citizens' lives until they are out of danger?"

Everyone present was stunned when these words were spoken.

When he realized what was happening, the advisor almost couldn't help but give Gu Feng a thumbs up.

When a citizen's life is threatened, they can seek refuge with the police.

Although Ding Lisheng is a genuine gangster, he is a law-abiding citizen until there is conclusive evidence to convict him. He can absolutely and openly request habeas corpus.

Chu Hanzhong was completely stunned.

He really hadn't thought of that.

In his eyes, a gang leader like Ding Lisheng deserved to die in the street, so why should he be protected? But now, before the law formally convicts him, he is a law-abiding citizen.

On the surface, he is even a businessman who pays taxes and operates in accordance with the law.

Judging by his identity alone, after such a shooting, even if Gu Feng didn't speak up, the police should have taken the initiative to provide protection.

From a narrow perspective, Gu Feng's current point is tantamount to slapping the face of the Chu-Han Contention.

Chu Hanzhong also understood that the reason this vindictive young man made such a request at this particular time was because he had seen through Chu Hanzhong's earlier attempt to take advantage of him.

You set the tone for the first day of the month, and now others are setting the tone for the fifteenth.

Honest people never speak in riddles, because they only do things in secret. Chu Hanzhong and Gu Feng had a small contest in secret, and as for who won and who lost, the result was obvious.

Gu Feng is not a vengeful person, because most of the time, he retaliates on the spot.

This move, seemingly effortless yet devastating, forced Chu Hanzhong to accept the task. While some of his motivation was revenge, the more important reason was that Ding Lisheng genuinely needed protection. Although the Four Heavenly Kings were skilled, adding another layer of protection would ensure Chu Hanzhong's safety once he helped Ding Hanhan take the position.

"Uncle Zhong, the gunman is after Ding Lisheng. If he misses, he might come back for more. So, I'm leaving his safety to you, Uncle Zhong."

Gu Feng smiled faintly, calling him "Uncle" over and over again, his tone incredibly affectionate. But what he was really thinking was: I genuinely treat you as an elder, but you treat me like a "second-rate idiot," so don't blame me for turning around and disgusting you.

Chu Hanzhong smiled bitterly, filled with regret. Trying to outsmart this worthless idiot had backfired spectacularly.

Forced into a corner, he had no choice but to dispatch his subordinates, armed to the teeth, to protect Ding Lisheng around the clock.

The feeling was indescribable—they had gone to all that trouble for nothing, protecting the worst of the worst.

"Gu Feng, this is great! With the police guarding the place, I'd like to see who dares to take my father's life now," Ding Hanhan said happily.

"Of course, with the director of the Longshan Public Security Bureau personally overseeing things, even if a gunman had the guts of a bear and the gall of a leopard, he wouldn't dare to come," Gu Feng chimed in, echoing Ding Hanhan.

"Uncle Chu, on behalf of the Ding family, I thank you." Ding Hanhan smiled charmingly as she spoke to Chu Hanzhong.

"Uh...ah...um, well...it's only right, it's only right."

Chu Hanzhong's face turned red and white in turns.

These two young people are clearly playing good cop and bad cop, teaming up to make fun of themselves.

Watching Gu Feng and Ding Hanhan completely dominate Chu Hanzhong, the advisor couldn't help but sigh once again: "The Yangtze River's back waves push the front waves, and a new generation buries the old. The younger generation is truly formidable."

When Gu Feng was about to leave the hospital, he called his advisor aside and whispered something in his ear. After giving him instructions, he left.
