Chapter 221 - 221: The Accused Feels Wronged; She Volunteered, I Didn’t Break the Law!
“Officer, you suddenly barged into my place…”
“Is there something wrong?”
Seeing Su Xuan and his group enter, the doctor at the underground clinic couldn’t help feeling a bit fearful, especially given what he was currently involved in.
“We’re conducting a thorough investigation,” Su Xuan immediately explained when he met the doctor’s gaze.
After all, he had checked the records, and it was a routine occurrence that Zhang Zehao brought Deng Jingjing here to sell blood every month. But even after scouring through the legal texts, Su Xuan couldn’t find any grounds to charge them with a crime.
Even here, Su Xuan couldn’t arrest them for selling blood, as there was no legal basis for it.
After a moment’s thought, he could only come up with this statement, “Please cooperate with us.”
When they heard Su Xuan’s intention to investigate, everyone exchanged glances. The doctor from the clinic was the first to object.
“Officer, perhaps you don’t know, but I have many patients here. If you rush in and conduct an investigation like this, it might negatively impact my patients. Will you take responsibility if something goes wrong?”
The police officers, who had already been somewhat puzzled, stopped in their tracks. They looked up at Su Xuan, who was at the forefront. This was turning into a significant issue, and they had to consider the consequences of their actions.
“Don’t worry, we won’t barge in and inspect right away. Our main focus is on the area where you doctors work. If there are any rooms that shouldn’t be inspected, just let us know.”
Su Xuan let out a mocking laugh as he spoke, “After all, we’re cops. We know a thing or two.”
The police had already pushed the matter this far, and if he continued to refuse the inspection, it might raise suspicions. Moreover, he was running an underground clinic, and despite having a medical license, there were many things happening inside his clinic that exceeded the scope of his qualifications. If the police discovered these, it could spell trouble.
“Please be careful when conducting the inspection,” the doctor reluctantly said in the end.
Su Xuan and his team naturally agreed.
As the police began their inspection, Zhang Zehao finally reacted and immediately grabbed the doctor, asking, “What are you doing? Letting the police in like this, what if they find something?”
“Deng Jingjing is still inside!”
However, the doctor remained unfazed by Zhang Zehao’s panic and instead looked at him with confusion.
“If the police want to inspect, let them inspect,” he responded calmly. “Why are you so worried? Don’t worry, even if they want to inspect, they won’t barge into the patient rooms. In case something happens, they won’t take responsibility.” “Deng Jingjing is getting her blood drawn in one of the patient rooms…”
“Why are you so scared?”
As the doctor uttered these words, a victorious smile even appeared on his face.
These underground clinics have managed to survive until now, not because they’re fake.
Faced with the sudden police inspection, they had their ways.
Seeing Zhang Zehao’s fearful expression, the doctor even had the audacity to pat him on the shoulder reassuringly.
“Don’t worry!”
“The police won’t find anything…”
Seeing the doctor’s calm demeanor, Zhang Zehao became even more agitated.
“This guy knows about me selling blood!”
“There was one time he even approached me, but I shut him down!”
“Are you sure he won’t really check everything as he claims?”
“If they do find Deng Jingjing there…”
Before Zhang Zehao could finish his sentence, the doctor’s formerly composed expression suddenly changed!
“What did you say?”
“Damn it, why didn’t you tell me about this earlier!”
In the midst of speaking, the doctor hurriedly rushed outside, presumably to intercept the police from reaching Deng Jingjing’s location.
Zhang Zehao stood in place, witnessing this scene, and he was left speechless.
“I did want to tell you, but you never gave me a chance!”
As he spoke, Zhang Zehao’s expression shifted.
“It seems this place is no longer safe.”
“I’ve been on this path of selling blood for so many years, it’s probably no longer viable. Well, we’ll see if there’s a chance to find another way…”
“I’ve had enough of Deng Jingjing’s nonsense!”
“No, I must find an opportunity to run away soon.”
Zhang Zehao’s guess was spot on.
The primary purpose of Su Xuan’s visit today was indeed to investigate this underground clinic.
In a this world, where the legal system was not yet well-established, there wasn’t much Su Xuan could do, even if he wanted to take action. However, when it came to controlling underground clinics, the measures were robust.
It was precisely for this reason that Su Xuan decided to dismantle this place first. Only by eliminating the tools they could sell could they truly rescue people.
He believed in his abilities, as well as in the extent to which these underground clinics would go.
Sure enough, as soon as the doctor heard Zhang Zehao’s words and went to check, Su Xuan had already found plenty of evidence of their wrongdoing. Upon seeing the evidence that Su Xuan had uncovered, the doctor, who had been arrogant just moments before, changed his expression and knelt down on the ground.
Naturally, the police also located Deng Jingjing. When she heard that what she had been doing recently wasn’t blood donation but rather being deceived into selling her blood afterward, Deng Jingjing nearly questioned her entire life.
“It can’t be true. You must be lying to me. My boyfriend wouldn’t deceive me.”
“He told me I was donating blood.”
“Or maybe both of us were deceived. It’s all this doctor’s fault!”
“Officer, you have to help me.”
“I’ve been donating blood for so many years…”
“Could it be that all these years, my blood has been sold?”
Deng Jingjing couldn’t believe what she was hearing. She stared at Su Xuan, and on this matter, Su Xuan couldn’t deceive her.
As he nodded in confirmation, Deng Jingjing, who had lost too much blood and had suffered a tremendous emotional blow, suddenly blacked out and fainted.
“I’ve said it before, even if it’s selling blood, it’s not illegal.”
“You have no right to arrest me.”
“And my girlfriend is unconscious right now. I need to check on her.”
“Please release me now…”
Zhang Zehao sat in the interrogation room, looking nonchalant.
He didn’t seem worried at all about the consequences of selling blood and what kind of punishment he might face once it was discovered.
Sitting across from him was Su Xuan.
Upon hearing Zhang Zehao’s words, Su Xuan’s expression immediately turned cold.
“Zhang Zehao, you should know that trafficking in other people’s blood is illegal.”
“Are you knowingly breaking the law…”
“And still expect me to let you go?”
Yes.
After staying up all night for several nights, Su Xuan had finally found a relevant legal provision that favored their side.
Selling his own blood on Blue Star was indeed not a crime.
But if you were selling someone else’s fresh blood, you were in for legal trouble!
At this moment, Su Xuan naturally pulled out this regulation that had been buried in a corner.
Zhang Zehao was stunned upon hearing this.
Then he let out a cold laugh.
“Officer, have you forgotten?”
“My girlfriend did it voluntarily.”
Voluntarily?
Su Xuan glanced at the camera and smiled..
