“Hey! What are you doing? They saved your sister’s life! Is this how you repay them for everything they have done?” Dinah found these people unreasonable and she stood in front of Victor and defended him. “You tried to do what a doctor does when you don’t even have a certificate! You should feel lucky that my sister survived or I will absolutely destroy you for my sister’s sake!” Yiyi Zeng rested her hands on her hips, and shouted at Dinah. Yiyi had never took them seriously. She knew ninety-nine percent of the people who claim that they can cure diseases through acupuncture or checking pulses are liars. Because these traditional skills were long lost. Nowadays people have sophisticated instruments and advanced technology to cure diseases, and Zeng Family took her little sister to America for a physical examination with the most advanced machines, so why would she choose to trust these two so-called doctors who don’t even have a certificate. Her sister was alright, but she still couldn’t let the matter rest, not until these two liars get what they deserve for messing with her. And this is the style of Yiyi Zeng. She is the kind of person who never indulges anyone. The ambulance soon arrived, and they helped the little girl onto the ambulance. Before they left for hospital, Mrs Zeng looked back and said: “Call the police. Have them arrested, and let the police invest them thoroughly. I highly suspect that this is not their first illegal activity. If my daughter shows any bad symptom later, I’ll kill them!” Then Mrs Zeng and her daughter Yiyi went to the hospital, and Mr Zeng stayed to make sure they were arrested. “Victor! I told you to stay out of this and you won’t listen! What do we do now?” Dinah was anxious. How could she stop the police from arresting Victor and the old man? Besides, Zeng Family was obviously connected with the police station, so if Victor got a criminal record, he wouldn’t even be able to get into Yunhai University. A few police officers got off the car with notebooks and recorders. “How dare you to do this when you know we are now cracking down on frauds! Yunhai City is not a small town where no one gives a damn about what you do, and we are not paid for doing nothing!” “Take them to police station!” A fat officer motioned another two officers to handcuff Victor and Guigu. “Wait for me at school. I will be released soon.” Victor said to Dinah smilingly. “You should really lower your expectations because you are going to stay in prison for at least three years.” The fat officer said. He arrested many criminals and none of them had any idea about how long they must be jailed for their illegal activities. The police officers thought Victor and Guigu were trying to swindle a hundred thousand dollars out of Zeng Family, which is not a small sum, and they will be sentenced to jail for at least three years for this sum. Although they didn’t get the money, but their intention was clear. Victor didn’t contradict the officer. He tried to comfort Dinah by saying: “I know this is a very mean and nasty society, and I know what will happen to me the moment I decided to help.But don’t worry, I also know what to do next.” Victor patted Dinah’ s head and Ying Jiang then dragged her aside. Victor and Guigu then chatted causally on the police car, as if they were at home. “Victor, I’m very curious about your background. I know people from ordinary family backgrounds won’t have enough time nor resources to study I Ching, Feng Shui, or traditional medicines. And you are now truly exceptional in these fields after only three years. Oh, what’s your plans after leaving Chen Family.” Guigu said. Victor smiled. “I will graduate soon, and after graduation I will take a path of my own, a path that is unimaginable to the others but I will have to take it. What about you? Do you want to settle down? Or you want to keep wondering?” Guigu has a soul of a vagabond and Victor still didn’t know where he lived. But many people in Yunhai City were once helped by him, like Chen Family. He doesn’t care about fame, nor money, and he doesn’t have any friend. He is a free man. “I’m not a young man and I have already seen everything through. How can I settle down if there is no one beside me.” Victor was silent. Guigu was indeed not a young man anymore and he knew better about things in life than Victor. And Victor knew he was in no position to judge Guigu’s choice because he knew noting about his experiences. They were both silent, but the police officers burst into laughter all of a sudden. “Don’t worry. You won’t be homeless. From now on the police station is your home and you can live there for at least three years.” The fat officer said laughingly. Zeng Family told the officers about these two people’s crimes. They said they were swindling on street by pretending to be doctors. The officers knew they couldn’t let the matter rest easily because it was Zeng Family who called them, and that’s why, Victor and Guigu were sure to be imprisoned, and no one could save them. “Wanna bet? You will have to send us away within an hour.” Victor said. “You want to bet? I can release you within an hour and I can also let you die in prison. It’s all up to me. Who do you think you are?” The officers all laughed cheerily. They knew that people always love to bluff when they are about to be imprisoned. They always claim that they know some very important people who can remove these officers from their positions. “Let’s wait.” Victor smiled. ...... Yiyi left the hospital early because she needed to deal with something at school. She thought her sister would be alright but a few minutes after she left, Yuehua Zeng, her father, got a notification from hospital that says her sister was in a critical condition. Her father panicked. He never expected such a twist. “We are terribly sorry. The kid is in a very critical condition. Her organs are failing, and it is already a miracle that she is still alive. But it seems that she received an acupuncture treatment, which revived her organs. But why would you inject her with sedatives! She is too young for that and besides, the sedative is numbing her organs which were already failing!” A doctor said. He looked helpless. Wen Yu was so frightened, because it was he who injected the sedative. He never thought the kid’s organs were failing. “You give my daughter back to me!!!” Mrs Zeng screamed.
