Ultimate Village Doctor

Chapter Forty-Nine

When the next day arrived, there had been no call back from Qin You. Shangguan Baihe tried calling again.

"Shangguan sister, the situation doesn't look easy to handle,"

As soon as the call connected, that was Qin You's response.

"What situation? Why is it hard to handle?" Shangguan Baihe asked with a furrowed brow.

"I sent someone to investigate yesterday, and it seems the situation is indeed as reported. However, there's a problem. Those two are lying in the hospital with multiple broken bones all over, they've been severely beaten. Even if they survive, they are likely to be disabled. Also, you might not know, but when your friend was at the Grand Tycoon Hotel the last time, I encountered him. He injured someone and also offended two rich heirs from the county, Ma Liu and Hao Yunpeng. Just when Long Xiaoshan was being taken back to the county station, he happened to be seen by Ma Liu, and later, Zhao Bao came to ask about it," Qin You explained.

"What, there's such a matter? What exactly happened?" Shangguan Baihe asked urgently.

Both Ma Liu and Hao Yunpeng were wealthy scions from the county, and they had significant influence in Niu Y County. Shangguan Baihe wondered how Long Xiaoshan had offended them.

Qin You then recounted the incident of Long Xiaoshan fighting and injuring people while rescuing a girl at the Grand Tycoon Hotel.

"Shangguan sister, now that others are intervening, there's nothing I can do. Even if there is the reason of pesticide poisoning, Long Xiaoshan's act of leaving people crippled is indefensible. He's definitely facing a sentence," Qin You said helplessly.

"Zhao Bao, that man, is no clean figure either,"

Shangguan Baihe said with a cold snort.

Having many connections in the business and political circles of Niu Y County, she was fully aware of Qin You's previous raid on the Grand Tycoon and the many people she had offended in sealing off the Grand Tycoon Hotel.

She had thought it was a minor incident, a common brawl in the countryside that could be easily handled with a police captain's intervention, but now it turned to be troublesome.

If the victims were truly disabled, the sentences could be severe, possibly five to ten years or more.

Shangguan Baihe felt a tinge of anxiety.

Long Xiaoshan was her cash cow, and the future development of the Lily Hotel relied entirely on the products from the farm. If Long Xiaoshan were sentenced, her entire plan would fall apart, resulting in huge losses.

Therefore, it was imperative that Long Xiaoshan stay out of trouble.

Shangguan Baihe quickly said, "I'll come over right now!"

Saying this, she left the house and drove to find Qin You.

The stunningly beautiful police captain looked pale, with dark circles under her eyes, appearing very exhausted.

"Qin You, you look really awful. Come by later and get some prawns from my place to recover," said Shangguan Baihe.

Qin You managed a wry smile, "How could I afford the prawns from your hotel? I heard that those sold from your place are bought at three thousand yuan right away."

"Once you've tried them, you'll know that three thousand isn't too much," said Shangguan Baihe. "Let's not talk about that. Where's Xiaoshan?"

"He's still being detained downstairs. But what's your relationship with him? You seem very concerned," Qin You expressed with curiosity. The owner of the Lily Hotel, a billionaire, strikingly beautiful—why would she be connected to Long Xiaoshan, a mere farmer and a former reformed-through-labor convict?

It wouldn't make sense for her to look for a lover among the peasantry.

"Him? He's a very important person to me. Let's not delve into details for now. All in all, I can't let him go to jail," Shangguan Baihe stated firmly.

Qin You had some idea of Shangguan Baihe's influence.

However, to overturn this case was no easy task, for one should not contend with officials in business matters.

"First, let me see Xiaoshan," Shangguan Baihe said without further ado, as the situation was still unclear.

"Alright, follow me," Qin You replied.

Even with someone interfering, Qin You was still the captain, so it was no problem for her to visit a prisoner.

Moreover, Shangguan Baihe was no ordinary person.

Thus, she met the imprisoned Long Xiaoshan in a small room.

As soon as Shangguan Baihe appeared,

Long Xiaoshan stood up and said, "Shangguan Sister, why have you come?"

"Of course I had to come. If I hadn't, who knows how much trouble you would have gotten yourself into," Shangguan Baihe said angrily.

"Shangguan Sister, I was just outraged. They actually poisoned the fish pond," Long Xiaoshan said.

"I know, but you were too rough. Even if it was for revenge, there was no need to be so direct. Now that the injuries have been assessed as disabling, it will be hard for you to escape punishment," Shangguan Baihe said.

"Long Xiaoshan, you indeed don't know your own strength. The same happened last time at the Grand Tycoon Hotel. I let you go then, and it seems you haven't learned your lesson," Qin You said.

Long Xiaoshan frowned.

He understood the law and knew that causing disability carried a severe sentence.

Seeing Long Xiaoshan silent, Shangguan Baihe sighed and said, "Don't be anxious yet. I will think of a way for you. Even if you do get sentenced, I will do my best to negotiate on your behalf. At most, you could be out in one or two years."

After hearing this, Long Xiaoshan showed a look of urgency. He had just been released from prison and now, so soon, he was facing a return, something he was very reluctant to do.

"Shangguan Sister, you said it's a disability, but what if the person isn't disabled?" Long Xiaoshan said.

Qin You said, "The hospital's injury assessment is out, and the X-rays have been taken. Many bones are broken, and there are comminuted fractures. Even being sent to the provincial hospital wouldn't heal them; it's a grade-one disability. Don't get your hopes up."

"Just because the hospital can't cure it doesn't mean I can't," Long Xiaoshan said. "I can heal them."

Last night, although he had been heavy-handed, Long Xiaoshan had still held back; otherwise, he would have killed someone long ago. With his current strength, he could even pull apart handcuffs. If he really wanted to kill someone, a punch to a vital spot would have sufficed.

So he had a good grasp of the degree of injuries Ergouzi and the others had sustained.

They could be healed.

Qin You sneered, "Are you saying you're better than the doctors at the provincial hospital?"

Unexpectedly, Shangguan Baihe's eyes lit up. She remembered how Long Xiaoshan had cured Su Wan's brain tumor, and even the Dean of Niu Y County People's Hospital had held him in high esteem, a testament to his exceptional medical skills. She quickly asked, "Are you really confident?"

"No problem," Long Xiaoshan asserted.

Qin You frowned and said, "Shangguan Sister, how can you believe such nonsense from this kid?"

Shangguan Baihe said, "Qin You, you don't understand. This kid really knows medicine, and he's quite impressive."

Qin You simply didn't believe it. How could Long Xiaoshan, who was so young, have medical skills surpassing professional doctors?

She tactfully said, "Even if he knows medicine, it's impossible to let him treat them at the hospital. Both of the injured are seriously hurt, and he's the one who hurt them. How could they possibly allow him to make contact?"

"He doesn't need to go personally. Shangguan Sister, go to my house and get a few prescriptions of the medicine. Find a way to apply it to the two people. It will take effect within a day," Long Xiaoshan said.

The Bone-Regeneration Powder that he had prepared last time for his mother was still at home, tailored specifically for bone injuries.

"Alright, I'll go get it right now," Shangguan Baihe got up.

Qin You watched the two of them, thinking that either they had lost their minds, or she had.
