34: Chapter 032: Losing the Wife and the Soldiers 34: Chapter 032: Losing the Wife and the Soldiers Honghe Hospital.

Gou Zhifeng and Wang Guihua had already completed the procedures for Gou Wei’s transfer to another hospital, just waiting for Gou Wei to finish changing his dressings before they could transfer him.

And Gou Wei had been moved from the operating room to a high-level ward.

In the ward, Gou Wei woke up from his coma, with bandages wrapped around his face and legs, looking like a mummy.

“Why can’t I move my legs?”

Stirring on the hospital bed, Gou Wei, upon waking, instinctively tried to move and realized his legs felt numb, as if he had lost all sensation.

The image of Ye Fan breaking his legs flashed through his mind, and he immediately began to cry out in distress.

“Son…Son, the doctor just gave you an anesthetic.

You’ll be able to move once it wears off.”

Wang Guihua had only one son, Gou Wei, and she usually couldn’t wait to hold him in the palm of her hand; seeing him cry out in fear, she hurriedly stepped forward to console him.

“Really…really?”

Perhaps because of the deep memory of Ye Fan’s cruel methods, Gou Wei had not yet recovered from the shock and dared not believe Wang Guihua’s words for a moment.

“Really!” Wang Guihua nodded repeatedly, saying, “We’re taking you to Donghai for surgery now, and you’ll be fine after the operation!”

“To Donghai?”

Gou Wei was startled, then without pondering why they would go to Donghai for treatment, he asked with a load of hatred, “If we go to Donghai, what about the bastard who hurt me?”

“Don’t worry, your father has already made calls.

The scum who hurt you won’t see the light of day outside a prison in this lifetime!” Wang Guihua exclaimed with a face full of hatred, as if she’d tear Ye Fan to pieces were he by her side.

“Dad, that bastard broke both of my legs.

I want to personally cripple his limbs!”

Hearing this, Gou Wei, gasping for breath, looked at Gou Zhifeng and made his demand, seemingly feeling…that only by personally dismembering Ye Fan’s limbs could he vent his anger.

“Crippling his limbs would be letting him off too easily, he should be beheaded!” Thinking about what Liu Baohua had said about the higher-ups already dealing with Ye Fan, Gou Zhifeng wore a sinister smile.

Squeak!

No sooner had Gou Zhifeng’s harsh words fallen than the door was pushed open, and Li Bin, Wang Kai, and a portly police officer walked straight in.

“I am Li Bin, the head of Chunjiang Police Station, here’s my ID.”

Soon, under the watchful eyes of the Gou family, Li Bin and his two colleagues walked up to the bedside.

Li Bin showed his ID and said, “We’re here to investigate the incident tonight at CC Bar…”

“I’ve already explained the details of the incident to your Director Liu, so there’s no need for further questions!”

Gou Zhifeng didn’t even look at Li Bin’s ID and immediately blocked the rest of his words.

In his view, Ye Fan was as good as dead by now, and this police investigation was nothing more than a superfluous formality.

“Mr.

Gou, based on the video provided by CC Bar, we suspect your son of attempted murder!”

If someone had used Liu Baohua’s authority to pressure Li Bin a few hours earlier, Li Bin would have given face, but now, in Li Bin’s eyes, Liu Baohua was just a pitiful wretch whose career was almost over.

“You…what did you say?”

At that moment, Gou Zhifeng thought there was something wrong with his ears.

How could the police officer in front of him accuse his son of attempted murder?

Not only Gou Zhifeng, but Wang Guihua was also dumbfounded by Li Bin’s statement, and Gou Wei seemed to think of something, showing a glimpse of panic in his eyes.

“Mr.

Gou, we suspect your son, Gou Wei, of the attempted murder of a man named Ye Fan.

He did not succeed.” Li Bin repeated firmly.

“What utter nonsense!

My son’s legs are broken, how could he be suspected of murder?” Wang Guihua snapped out of her shock and hurled insults at Li Bin and the others.

As Gou Zhifeng’s wife, she might respect officials like Liu Baohua, but she didn’t regard the head of a police station as anything close to an official and naturally didn’t know how to spell the word respect.

“Watch your mouth!”

Wang Kai, who had already been displeased with the Gou Family’s underhanded tactics, saw Wang Guihua spouting like a shrew and sternly rebuked her.

Perhaps not expecting the young policeman to be so tough, Wang Guihua was taken aback for a moment.

At the same time, Gou Zhifeng’s complexion had turned extremely ugly.

He pondered for a moment and then began to speak slowly, laden with threat, “You claim my son attempted murder—who did he want to kill and when?

I have to remind you, some things should not be spoken carelessly, otherwise there will be consequences.”

“Your son Gou Wei is suspected of attempting to kill a man named Ye Fan and did not succeed,” Li Bin said solemnly.

“Yes, the same man your son had an altercation with outside CC Bar tonight.”

“Nonsense!

You’re the ones attempting murder, your whole family is!” Wang Guihua exploded again, cursing more obscenely than before.

Wang Kai’s expression changed, and he took a step forward, warning, “If you insult us again, if you attack us personally, we will consider it an obstruction of official duties.

Then, just like your son, you will have to bear the legal consequences!”

“Hey!

Like I said, be careful what you say.”

Gou Zhifeng’s face was livid as he glared at Li Bin and his colleagues, speaking word for word, “I don’t know why you’re saying my son committed attempted murder.

But the fact is, my son’s legs were broken!

And your Director Liu is aware of this matter and has informed me that the police will harshly punish the assailant!”

“Shall I call Director Liu to confirm?” Gou Zhifeng ended with a rage that suggested he might go above their heads, using Liu Baohua to embarrass Li Bin and his team.

Wang Kai smirked, “Go ahead and call.”

“Fine!”

Gou Zhifeng was truly infuriated, knowing the saying about how ‘it’s easier to deal with the King of Hell than his little devils,’ but in his view, these three officers were far too presumptuous.

With that, Gou Zhifeng wasted no more words, pulled out his mobile phone, and dialed Liu Baohua’s number.

“Sorry, the number you have dialed is temporarily unreachable.”

Soon, the sweet voice of the automated operator filled his ear, signaling…

but to Gou Zhifeng, that voice was an utter shock.

After a brief moment of stupefaction, Gou Zhifeng, unwilling to accept defeat, dialed the number again, only to get the same result: the call could not be connected.

Li Bin, Wang Kai, and the chubby police officer saw this and couldn’t help but laugh.

For some reason, seeing their laughter made Gou Zhifeng feel a bad premonition, but he didn’t say anything.

Instead, he dialed Liu Baohua’s home phone number—because he was in close contact with Liu Baohua, he not only had Liu Baohua’s home landline number but also knew where his house was.

“Hello.”

About a dozen seconds later, the call connected, and a woman’s voice came through the receiver.

“Sister-in-law, it’s Gou Zhifeng.

I need to speak to Director Liu about something.”

Perhaps because he was quite angry or perhaps because a bad intuition had surfaced in his heart, Gou Zhifeng wanted to confirm things as soon as possible.

For this reason, he didn’t start with the merchant-style courtesies he usually used but went straight to the point.

It was only afterward that he realized something and tried to make amends, “I’m sorry for disturbing you and Director Liu so late at night.”

“It’s a call from Gou Zhifeng.”

Upon hearing this, Liu Baohua’s wife was at first startled and then turned to consult Liu Baohua.

After the initial panic, Liu Baohua gradually calmed down with his wife’s soothing and analyzed the night’s events with her.

When he heard his wife say it was a call from Gou Zhifeng, he reflexively sprang up from the sofa.

“Gou Zhifeng…”

“Director Liu, didn’t you tell me that the higher-ups had already sent someone to deal with that Jianghu person?”

Liu Baohua picked up the phone, about to say something, but was interrupted by an anxious Gou Zhifeng, “Why are the officers from Chunjiang Police Station saying now that my son is suspected of intentional murder?”

“Gou Zhifeng, ** you still have the face to call me?”

Liu Baohua, full of pent-up rage, had wanted to vent at Gou Zhifeng.

His words, however, had barely begun before Gou Zhifeng interrupted him—and moreover, Gou Zhifeng questioned him in an accusatory tone, which made him furious, “I was going to ask you the same thing!

What the hell did your damn son do?”

“Uh…”

As Liu Baohua’s thunderous cursing filled his ears, Gou Zhifeng felt baffled and subconsciously glanced at Gou Wei.

“Dad, it’s not my fault, I didn’t kill anyone on purpose!

I really didn’t!” Gou Wei, already frightened, denied everything when he saw Gou Zhifeng looking at him, betraying his guilt.

Upon hearing this, Gou Zhifeng didn’t think much of it but said to Liu Baohua, “Sorry, Director Liu, I was a bit hasty just now.

My son says he isn’t involved in any intentional murder!”

“Is saying sorry useful?

Gou Zhifeng, let me tell you, Mr.

Dong is personally looking into this matter now, and wants me to report to the director’s office tomorrow morning!”

Liu Baohua was like an ignited powder keg, shouting loudly, “You’d better hope your son hasn’t done anything; otherwise, if I get demoted because of this mess, you won’t have an easy time either!”

“Snap!”

As he finished speaking, Liu Baohua, driven by a fit of rage, hung up the phone abruptly.

“Beep…

beep…”

The call ended, and a busy tone came from the receiver.

However, the words Liu Baohua had said last echoed in Gou Zhifeng’s ears, his gaze involuntarily shifting back to Gou Wei.

“Dad, I…

I really didn’t do anything!”

Feeling completely lost, Gou Wei again took the initiative to defend himself.

However, unbeknownst to him, his protests only solidified Li Bin’s and the others’ judgment that he had committed intentional murder.

“Mr.

Gou, are you going to make any more calls?”

Seeing Gou Zhifeng look deflated like a frostbitten eggplant, Li Bin deliberately reminded him, “If you still want to make calls, go ahead; if not, we’ll start interrogating your son, and we ask you and your wife to step aside, please.”

“Zhifeng, what on earth happened to Xiao Wei?”

Wang Guihua, although accustomed to throwing tantrums, was a mercenary person who knew how to curry favor with the right people and gauge the situation.

Seeing Gou Zhifeng’s expression was off, she grew anxious.

“Tell me honestly, what have you done?

Why did you have a conflict with that person?”

Gou Zhifeng stared hard at Gou Wei.

Although he didn’t know what had happened, reason told him that Gou Wei must have done something to give the other party leverage, thus turning the situation on its head.

“I…

I was drunk, accidentally hit him with the car, and then he started to hit me…” Gou Wei lied in terror, not daring to reveal that it was Su Feiyu who had instructed him to hit Ye Fan and break his leg.

“Is that so?”

Li Bin interrupted coldly before Gou Wei could finish, “I heard it was you who deliberately drove the car to hit him, intending to kill him…”

“No…

it’s not me!

It was Su Feiyu!!” In his haste, Gou Wei denied it but inadvertently revealed the inside story.

“Su Feiyu asked you to drive the car and kill Ye Fan, is that correct?”

Li Bin smiled.

In his view, handling a profligate heir like Gou Wei was much easier than dealing with criminals who knew anti-surveillance techniques.

Without answering, Gou Wei looked at Gou Zhifeng with fear and began to wail loudly, “Dad, it’s not my fault, it was all Su Feiyu’s idea, you must save me!”

“Wretched son!”

What answered Gou Wei was a kick!

Clang—

In a fit of rage, Gou Zhifeng kicked Gou Wei off the rolling hospital bed!
