Chapter Sixteen: Reactions from All Parties + Seizing Wealth

  Su Qing and the other two left like this, Deputy Mayor Gao and Director Liu were furious, after scolding loudly in the restaurant, they both rushed to the hospital.

  Su Qing had an air of indifference, but Li Ming and Su Chen were still worried that things wouldn't end like this. Su Chen called home that night and told the whole story from start to finish. Su Qing felt that it was a bit reckless, but the Su family could handle it completely. He reminded his son to return to Beijing early, lest someone make a small move.

  Li Ming went home and told the elders in his family about what had happened. Li Ming's grandfather was the provincial party secretary, and he and the governor were from different factions. The deputy mayor and director involved in this incident were from the governor's faction. Now that this had happened, the Li family was also considering whether to use this incident to weaken their political enemies and bring these two down.

  Su Qing seemed to be nonchalant, but in fact had already sent out bees to investigate the reactions of all parties. Su Qing had many ways to abolish Li Ya Qi, and deliberately doing so in public was for a reason. Su Qing wanted to see from this incident what position the Su family held, and how the Li family would react, whether it was worth interacting with them. If the Li family did not dare to seize this opportunity to strike at their political enemies and expand their own power, then the family had no courage and would not achieve great things or make great progress.

  In the hospital, Liu Kai kept screaming in pain. The doctor gave him a painkiller injection but it didn't work. What's more, after doing all sorts of checks, they still couldn't find the cause of his illness. Director Liu looked at his son writhing in agony and the doctor was at a loss for what to do, so he pointed at the doctor's nose and scolded him loudly. The director's wife sat by the bed, tears streaming down her face as she pitied her son.

  "Aren't you all experts? Everyone is in so much pain and yet you don't even know the reason." Liu's usual way of scolding her subordinates was also directed at the doctor.

  "All the checks have been done, but the check report can't find any reason." The doctor was sweating profusely, and he was also puzzled as to why the inspection couldn't find the problem, almost thinking that the inspection equipment was broken.

  "You just stand there with your eyes wide open and can't think of any other way." Mrs. Liu looked at her son's appearance and felt anxious in her heart.

  "Even a Chinese doctor who takes the pulse can't find any problem, we've done everything that can be done, and it's really helpless." Some diseases cannot be detected by instruments, but an experienced old Chinese doctor can take the pulse to see the clues. But this time is also in vain.

  "With this kind of ability, what's the point of opening a hospital? A bunch of good-for-nothings." Mrs. Liu was frantic and started speaking without reserve, even scolding the expert as a good-for-nothing.

  "Our hospital can't cure you, you can transfer out and leave, as you please." The hospital director said angrily, turning around with the doctor to leave.

  Director Liu's face turned bright red with anger.

  Next door, Li Ya Qi was still lying on her hospital bed in a daze, her pale face as white as paper, without any signs of life.

  The beautifully dressed noblewoman sat on the sofa, wiping away tears. "My brother is really pitiful to have become like this, how can I explain it to my parents? I had promised the old couple that I would take good care of Ya Qi."

  "You should have controlled him earlier, restrained him a bit, and not let him do whatever he wants. There wouldn't be today's trouble." Li Yaqi had often bullied men and women, but Deputy Mayor Gao usually turned a blind eye to such things. His own younger brother-in-law had never suffered any losses before, so he didn't expect him to fall flat on his face for the first time. He also didn't expect Su Qing, who looked like an innocent and lovely young girl, to be so ruthless when she struck back.

  "You're blaming me now, your nephew was beaten like this and you don't care. It's just teasing a little girl, there are more serious things than this that happen all the time. You must catch the person who beat Yaqi." Listening to her husband's uneasy self-consolation, she cried even harder.

  "I had someone investigate, and it turns out the other party is from the Beijing Military Region's compound. If I had known their identity earlier, I would have been more careful in serving them, but your brother didn't know their identity and still went to provoke that girl." Deputy Mayor Gao also did not expect that the siblings dressed in plain clothes had such a big background.

  "How can we just swallow this loss, I cannot bear this." The woman now hates the Su siblings so much that she wishes to skin them alive to vent her anger.

  "I'll take care of this matter and avenge Yaqi." Deputy Mayor Gao thought that if open means don't work, then covert ones will. But he didn't know that doing so would only push himself into the abyss.

  In the hospital's duty room, several idle nurses started gossiping about the hospital's news.

  "Today, the deputy mayor and the director of public security unexpectedly came to the hospital together, and the situation is quite serious."

  "It's quite serious, it's very serious. I heard one became a eunuch and the other couldn't find the cause of the disease."

  "Evil deeds have been done many times, and today they've met with retribution. I don't know which heroic figure has taken it upon themselves to uphold justice and eliminate the scourge."

  "That person is really bold, offending two officials at once."

  "Suzhou people all know these two are jinxes, should be outsiders."

  "I eavesdropped on those people's conversation, it seems that this time I offended someone who shouldn't be offended. Liu Ju's younger brother was like that and not a single person was caught."

  "It's about time someone taught them a lesson, those two have become tyrants. I don't know how many girls they've harmed."

  "I heard from a friend in the police department that this time he seemed to have taken a liking to a girl, but she kicked him down with one foot."

  "It's really exciting, unfortunately I didn't see that scene."

  That night, Suzhou and even Jiangsu families frequently called each other to ask about the situation and probe attitudes.

  There are two people in Li's study in Chongqing, Li Ming's grandfather Li Batian and his father Li Yunfei.

  "Dad, what are you going to do about this?" Li Yunfei was very concerned about his father's suggestion.

  "Listening to Li Ming say that Su Jia's maid in Beijing is unknown to many upper-class people, and has always been obedient and sensible. Who would have thought that as soon as she arrived in Suzhou, she would take drastic action, like a completely different person. Even her own brother seems to be shocked. Let's not make a move for now, and observe the reactions from other aspects." The old man thought to himself that he should investigate Su Qing's situation.

  "Father, I think we can bring down those two officials. They were never part of our faction to begin with, and taking them out would also give us a chance to build ties with the Su family." Li Yunfei thought this was an opportunity.

  "What's the reaction of the Su family?" The trouble was caused by Su Qing and her brother, so Li Ba Tian's first reaction was to wonder how the Su family would react.

  "Not for now, I'm afraid they are also waiting for a response from the relevant parties." From the time the incident occurred until now, the Su family has not made any statement. Li Yunfei also found it somewhat puzzling.

  "Then we'll just have to keep waiting." The old man had always been cautious in his actions.

  In the middle of the night, Su Qing quietly left the hotel with a few bees. She was going to get compensation for today's events and since she wouldn't be able to get it from the other party, she might as well take matters into her own hands. Su Qing had given all her stock market money to Gu Minzhi's investment company and was currently short on cash.

  Su Qing looked around the high-ranking deputy mayor's residence: a two-story villa, with an even more luxurious interior decoration. To say that this deputy mayor did not have any personal gain, probably even ghosts wouldn't believe it. Tonight, there was no one in the house, Su Qing thought that he must be either at the hospital or contacting his party members to counterattack.

  Su Qing opened her divine consciousness and found that there were two safes in her home. One was in the bedroom, and the other was in the study.

  Su Qing walked into the bedroom, looked at the password safe and smiled. For someone like Su Qing with X-ray vision, this seemingly advanced safe was not even as good as a paper-thin one. Su Qing lightly pressed a few keys, and with a "click", it opened. Inside the cabinet, there were tens of thousands of dollars in cash, all brand new and tied up in bundles. Su Qing didn't hesitate to put them all into her storage space. There were also a few pieces of jewelry inside, which Su Qing left alone. She wouldn't use them herself, and selling stolen goods would be troublesome. After finishing, Su Qing closed the safe. There was no sign that it had been opened, not even half a fingerprint was left behind.

  Su Qing came to the study again, and the safe was hidden very secretly. Behind a painting in the study, Su Qing opened the safe. Su Qing thought that this must be the private money of the vice mayor, and his wife must not know about it. Inside the safe were packages of paper, which Su Qing thought contained money, but when she opened them, they turned out to be gold bars. Calculated at market price, the gold bars in the safe were worth at least 7 or 8 million. Su Qing was delighted, and she seemed to see the scene where the vice mayor fainted with anger after discovering that his gold had been stolen.

  Su Qing has also settled this side and did not forget to visit Director Liu's home. Although the harvest was not as rich as Vice Mayor Gao's home, she still took away nearly a million in cash hidden in the closet.

  Su Qing thought to herself on the way back to the hotel, these two officials oppressed the common people and accepted bribes, after all, it was the common people's hard-earned money. She thought that by robbing them today, she had done a good deed for the people. Su Qing couldn't help but want to laugh at this thought. Su Qing did it without leaving any trace, and who knows when the two families would discover they had been robbed.

  Su Qing quietly returned to the hotel and continued sleeping. No one noticed anything, as if Su Qing had never gone out at all.

  The next morning, Su Qing woke up and found that there were bees waiting for her to report back the information they had gathered.

  People from both factions in Suzhou have contacted each other, but no countermeasures have been agreed upon and they are still considering. Su Qingyuan has already contacted friends in Suzhou to take care of Su Qing's siblings. This made Su Qing feel warm inside. She caused trouble herself, yet when her family called, not a single word of blame was spoken, only concern.

  Both sides were holding their breath, Su Qing thought she could provide them with a fuse. Director Liu and Deputy Mayor Gao's evidence Su Qing had collected quite a few. As for the deputy mayor's wife, because her brother became a eunuch, she hated Su Qing to the bone. She even prepared to hire someone to hurt her. Unfortunately, she miscalculated, she was going to deal with Su Qing.

  Su Qing and her brother Li Ming spent another day playing, but the matter was not completely resolved, and the two young people were not in the mood. Only Su Qing was carefree, strolling around for a day.

  Another day passed, and the sun rose. Today, all officials found that there was an extra document on their desks when they went to work. The document listed various crimes such as oppressing the people, abusing power for personal gain, corruption, and bribery. It did not need to be said who the document accused. No one knew who had put the documents on each official's desk or when, but the two factions related to their own interests immediately took action.

  A day later, the dust settled. The two law-breaking officials were removed from their posts and investigated. Under Su Qing's push, the judicial authorities filed a case to investigate the crimes committed by the two of them, and if things went wrong, the two would spend the rest of their lives in prison. The humiliated Liu Gao duo returned home to fetch money and prepare for a fight, hoping to protect themselves. They were secretly optimistic, but they didn't know that Su Qing had already visited their family's vault.
