Chapter 214 We Are Truly Guilty
The scarred hoodlum was truly out of options.
He felt every kick and punch from the security guards landed directly on his internal organs. He suspected that if the beating continued, his spleen and kidneys might rupture, and he'd likely be bedridden for life.
Under duress, the scarred hoodlum had no choice but to raise his hands and surrender. He just hoped to escape this place, which was more terrifying than prison.
Meng Qingxue was engrossed in her game, appearing not to hear anything.
However, the subordinate by Meng Qingxue's side immediately perked up. He said, "Captain, that guy wants to surrender. In this situation, we have to arrest him!"
Meng Qingxue waved her hand impatiently, "That guy is lying. Who knows if he's actually committed any crimes?"
Hearing this, the scarred hoodlum's eyes welled up with tears. "I'm not lying, I'm really not lying. I have evidence to prove I've committed crimes, that I've robbed people. Please, arrest me!"
Meng Qingxue waved her hand impatiently, "Alright, alright, take him away."
The subordinate immediately stepped forward, stopped the security guards, and pulled the hoodlum out of the building.
At this moment, all the other beaten-up hoodlums seemed to have found a lifeline, a glimmer of hope for survival. Instantly, they all started shouting loudly.
"I surrender too, I've committed crimes."
"Me too, me too! Officer sister, the crime I committed is the most serious. Three years ago, I accidentally killed someone. Hurry and take me first!"
"Me too, me too! The rape case in Jinling City five years ago was me. Please, take me away!"
More than two hundred people scrambled to call out to Meng Qingxue, all demanding to surrender and eagerly confessing their crimes, fearful that their offenses were too minor to be taken in by Meng Qingxue and her team.
If they were left behind, they would surely be beaten to death by these security guards.
Chen Yang waved his hand and said, "Record all of it. We'll see who's lying later, and continue beating them."
The security guards nodded.
The more than two hundred hoodlums crawled towards Meng Qingxue, all demanding to surrender and be arrested immediately.
Meng Qingxue stared at the ground full of would-be surrendering criminals, her mouth agape. Then, she turned and glared furiously at Chen Yang, shouting, "Chen Yang, are you deliberately causing trouble? With so many criminals surrendering, how long will it take me? You just wait."
Angered, Meng Qingxue waved her hand to her subordinates, "What are you standing around for? Call for backup! Take them all away. Damn it, if anyone dares to lie and increase my workload, bring them back to Chen Yang to deal with."
"Yes! Captain!"
Ten minutes later, over a hundred police cars majestically departed from Lantian Building.
All the hoodlums were taken away, leaving only Wang Hao and Hei Dao in Lantian Building.
Chen Yang looked at Hei Dao and said, "I know why you didn't surrender. Because surrendering would mean death for you too. I've already investigated your crimes."
"Five years ago, on the third floor of Lantian Building, a resident caused trouble and demanded compensation from you at Lantian Building. You refused to pay, and that night, you pushed him down the stairs, killing him."
"Three years ago, Lantian Building caught fire and was quickly extinguished. It was later proven to be due to inadequate fire safety. A reporter discovered this and insisted on reporting it. You couldn't handle the reporter, so you intervened and made the reporter hang himself at home, staging his suicide."
"A year ago..."
Chen Yang was about to continue when Hei Dao's face turned ashen. He trembled with fear as he looked at Chen Yang, unable to understand how Chen Yang knew all this.
Hei Dao asked Chen Yang tremblingly, "Who... who exactly are you? You're definitely not just a delivery guy. How do you know all this?"
Chen Yang sneered, then waved his hand, "Throw him into the sea. Letting scum like him live another minute is a waste of air."
"Yes!" Two subordinates from the Heavenly Medical Hall behind Chen Yang nodded immediately.
Then, the two stepped forward and instantly grabbed Hei Dao's shoulders. Hei Dao struggled with all his might but couldn't break free.
Soon, Hei Dao was knocked unconscious and carried away.
With a thud, Wang Hao collapsed to the ground, trembling.
He had wet himself. He looked up at Chen Yang, slowly crawling backward, trembling as he asked, "Chen Yang, what... what do you want? Please... please don't kill me. I haven't killed anyone, and I don't deserve to die!"
"I... I am the owner of this Lantian Building."
Chen Yang sneered, glanced at Wang Hao on the ground, and nodded. "Actually, you should have been the owner of Lantian Building. You should have enjoyed wealth and status. However, you made one mistake: you shouldn't have offended Liu Ran."
"Of course, although you are despicable, I'm too lazy to kill you. However, I just want to tell you that you still owe over sixty million yuan for food and drinks at Xingyun Haohan Restaurant. Xingyun Haohan Restaurant is Hong San Ye's property. I believe he won't let you go."
"Anyway, if you dare to stay in Qingzhou City and dare not repay Hong San Ye, then do as you please."
"But this Lantian Building belongs to me from now on. If you dare to come near, don't blame us brothers for being impolite. Someone! Throw this good-for-nothing out!"
Several security guards stepped forward and directly picked up Wang Hao, tossing him into the garbage heap opposite Lantian Building.
Wang Hao scrambled out of the garbage heap in terror. At this point, he no longer cared about the ownership of Lantian Building.
He knew Chen Yang was right. Most importantly, Wang Hao knew he now had nothing. Lantian Building was no longer his.
His over two hundred subordinates were either in jail or lying in hospital beds, and he still had a large sum of medical expenses to pay.
Furthermore, he owed Hong San Ye over sixty million.
Thinking of this, Wang Hao's legs went weak. With a thud, he collapsed to the ground again. He quickly got up and, without looking back, fled towards the outskirts of Qingzhou City.
He would have to live under an assumed name for the rest of his life and never dare to return to Qingzhou City again. He was well aware of Hong San Ye's formidable reputation.
Inside Lantian Building.
Chen Yang clapped his hands, surveying the entire building with satisfaction. He said to Zhu Que beside him, "Alright, Zhu Que, take your people and tidy up the building. Set up the security system."
"Also, you'll be responsible for the cleaning. Hire dozens of cleaning staff, disinfect the entire building inside and out, and give it a thorough cleaning."
"Tomorrow morning, after officially moving into Lantian Building, it will be the temporary headquarters of our Heavenly Medical Hall, and this time we won't be retreating in a hurry."
Hearing this, Zhu Que couldn't help but chuckle. "Okay, Boss, I understand. Should I also quietly transport some of our Heavenly Medical Hall's headquarters equipment, medicinal materials, and even some precious artifacts to the building for safekeeping?"
Chen Yang nodded. "Yes, from now on, Lantian Building will be our Heavenly Medical Hall's most important stronghold."
