Great Doctor Without Borders

Chapter 1452 Disappointment

Xu Chunliang’s incident was neither big nor small.

Li Kaiqiang insisted that he helped Xu Chunliang obtain the doctor's qualification certificate, and did not mention Qiao Rulong in his testimony. Although Xu Chunliang told the truth and gave Qiao Rulong away, Qiao Rulong's side denied Xu Chunliang's statement, saying that he had never done such illegal activities, and that the reason why Xu Chunliang involved him was because Xu Chunliang had an old grudge against him.

Meng Jinglai originally thought that this matter was very simple, but he soon got a hint that he should not interfere in this matter for the time being, as some things are not as simple as they seem.

Xu Chunliang temporarily cut off contact with the outside world and stayed in the Xingchen Hotel. He wanted to wait and see how the situation developed and not rush to make any move until the very end.

After a one-day hiatus, the two prosecutors returned on the third day. They did not ruin their careers as Meng Jinglai said. Instead, they appeared in front of Xu Chunliang intact. However, this time they were much more polite to Xu Chunliang.

The prosecutor, Zheng Qiugao, was very friendly today: "Xiao Xu, you don't have to be nervous, and don't have any resistance. We are not targeting you. Just tell us what actually happened."

Xu Chunliang said: "I'm not nervous. I've always been very cooperative. I've told you everything that actually happened. If you have anything else you want to ask, just tell me once. I promise to answer any questions you have."

Zheng Qiugao said: "Li Kaiqiang has already admitted it. You went to him to apply for a doctor's license and technical qualification certificate."

Xu Chunliang said: "I have already said this. When I got the double certificate, I didn't know Li Kaiqiang yet."

"But we already have enough evidence to prove that he did it for you. How can you say you don't know him?"

"This kind of thing is very common in today's society. For example, if you ask someone to do something for you, the person who can solve the problem may not be willing to meet you."

"You mean, you admit that you asked someone to ask Li Kaiqiang to apply for the two certificates?"

Xu Chunliang narrowed his eyes and looked at Zheng Qiugao: "What did I admit? Did I ever say that I was talking about you, not me? Have you ever asked someone to do something for you in your life? Do you dare to say that you have never used the back door in your life? Have you never flattered the leaders?"

Zheng Qiugao's face began to look bad again: "Don't always avoid the problem and talk about other things. I am asking you questions now. You need to face up to your mistakes."

Xu Chunliang asked: "What did I do wrong?"

"Comrade Xiao Xu, it's wrong for you to say that. You obtained certificates and honors that do not belong to you through illegal means..."

"Comrade Lao Zheng, please stop. It's easy to find a pretext to accuse someone. I must emphasize that I never took the initiative to do this from the beginning. I helped Qiao Rulong solve some problems, and he used his connections to get me two certificates out of a desire to return the favor. I don't know who he used, and I don't know that these certificates were illegal."

"You can't shirk responsibility by saying you didn't know."

Xu Chunliang said: "I am not shirking my responsibility. By the way, are my two certificates fake?"

Zheng Qiugao was stunned for a moment. Xu Chunliang's two certificates were indeed not fake. He pursed his lips and said, "The certificates are real, but the way you obtained them was illegal."

Xu Chunliang said: "Since the certificate is real, I have no problem. The person you should investigate is not me, but the person who gave me the certificate."

Zheng Qiugao said: "We have investigated the person involved, and he clearly denied having anything to do with this matter." The person involved he was referring to was Qiao Rulong.

Xu Chunliang said: "You believe him when he denies it, but you don't believe me when I deny it. Where is fairness? Where is justice? Isn't this double standard?"

"We uphold fairness and justice, and we do not have any double standards."

Xu Chunliang said: "In this case, call Qiao Rulong to confront me face to face."

Zheng Qiugao said: "Comrade Xiao Xu, I advise you not to mix in personal grudges."

Xu Chunliang understood that in their eyes, his words were obviously not as credible as Qiao Rulong's.

"I have no grudge against him, I am just telling the truth."

"We have learned that you dated his sister in the past, but later broke up. You believed that the breakup was caused by Qiao Rulong, so you developed a grudge against him."

Xu Chunliang said: "If you say so, there is no need for us to continue talking. You don't believe anything I say, but you believe everything he says."

Zheng Qiugao said, "Comrade Xiao Xu, I advise you to be sincere. You can't hide what happened. As long as you dare to face the reality and tell us frankly, we will give you a lighter sentence. After all, you are still young, and the organization will give you a chance to correct your mistakes."

Xu Chunliang said, "I'm not wrong, what should I correct? These two certificates were sent to me by Qiao Rulong. At that time, I didn't know Li Kaiqiang."

Zheng Qiugao's expression turned serious: "Comrade Xu Chunliang, I advise you to think carefully. If you don't cherish the opportunity in front of you now, it will be too late to regret it later."

Xu Chunliang said, "Don't try to trick me with that kind of talk. If you have evidence, just lock me up. If it involves violations of discipline, you should punish me accordingly. If it involves violations of law, you should arrest me accordingly. If you don't have evidence, don't waste my time."

Zheng Qiugao realized that it would be difficult to make a breakthrough with Xu Chunliang, and there was no point in continuing to ask. He nodded and handed Xu Chunliang an address: "Come to our office at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning, and we'll talk about it."

Xu Chunliang said: "No time!"

The assistants around Zheng Qiugao were irritated by Xu Chunliang's attitude: "I warn you, you'd better cooperate with our work." Xu Chunliang said: "You are delaying my work, because these unfounded accusations of yours have caused me a lot of trouble. I gave you clues, but you didn't dare to investigate what you should investigate. Excuse me, you don't have any solid evidence at all. You first presume me guilty and try to trick me. You don't think about it carefully. Are you worthy of the trust of the organization? You use this method to deal with a good party cadre. Don't you feel ashamed?"

Zheng Qiugao said: "Xu Chunliang, if you really have no problems, would we look for you?"

Xu Chunliang said, "Okay, don't leave. I'll call Qiao Rulong right now. Turn on the recorder and let me hear it clearly."

Xu Chunliang immediately called Qiao Rulong, but Qiao Rulong didn't answer.

Xu Chunliang was so depressed. Qiao Rulong, you bastard, are you also involved in framing me this time?

He decided to go all out and called Mr. Qiao directly.

The phone rang for a while, and Mr. Qiao answered the call: "Chunliang."

Xu Chunliang said, "Mr. Qiao, there is something small. I wanted to find Qiao Rulong, but he didn't answer my call."

Qiao Laodao: "Is that so? Tell me."

Xu Chunliang briefly recounted what happened. Old Qiao listened quietly until Xu Chunliang finished speaking. Then he said softly, "I thought it was a big deal. It must be a misunderstanding. Some people like to make a mountain out of a molehill."

After Mr. Qiao hung up the phone, the wrinkles on his face became even deeper. He called the guard and asked him to call Qiao Rulong back immediately.

After Qiao Rulong got the news, he immediately came to his grandfather and said with a smile on his face: "Grandpa..."

"Your Majesty!"

Qiao Rulong looked surprised, but still knelt down obediently.

Qiao Laodao: "Do you know why I asked you to kneel down?"

Qiao Rulong said: "I don't know."

Qiao Laodao said: "I have two best friends in my life. You know who they are. No matter how long we haven't seen each other, no matter how far we are from each other, the three of us are brothers. None of us will harm each other, including their families."

Qiao Rulong said: "Grandpa, I have never done anything to let down their families."

Old Qiao said: "Don't be so sure, you have already let Qingya down."

"I have no feelings for her."

Old Qiao sighed and said, "In your heart, it's always others who have wronged you, and you never feel that you have wronged others. Because of what happened between you and Qingya, your Grandpa Ye and I have become estranged, and I almost lost my best friend. Now that he's gone, it doesn't mean that his family is easy to bully. And as for me, as long as I live in this world, I will not let anyone bully the Ye family!"

Qiao Rulong said: "Grandpa, why do you think that what happened in the Ye family recently has something to do with me? I can't even hide in time."

Old Qiao said, "Xu Chunliang has offended you? Why did you put him in trouble?"

"Grandpa, he wanted to implicate me, and I have done nothing wrong to him."

"Did you help him get the medical license?"

Qiao Rulong said: "I helped him at the beginning, but now he actually betrayed me. He is wrong, not me!"

"If you dare to do it, why don't you admit it?"

"Grandpa, if I admit it, wouldn't it be a discredit to the Qiao family? Xu Chunliang doesn't know how to be grateful, and I'm lucky I didn't add insult to injury."

Old Qiao looked at Qiao Rulong coldly and said word by word: "Xu Chunliang doesn't owe you anything. If you take advantage of his misfortune, you are repaying kindness with enmity."

"Grandpa, you may not know that someone is targeting the Ye family now. Who dares to touch Li Kaiqiang when Old Master Ye is alive? Who dares to investigate Lin Sijin? When Old Master Ye passed away, Ye Qingya's uncle was transferred to East Myanmar soon. There is no need for our Qiao family to get involved."

Old Qiao said, "Li Kaiqiang made a mistake, he should take the responsibility. Lin Sijin should not be held responsible for his behavior. As for Xu Chunliang, he should not be implicated. You got him the documents, you should solve this problem for him."

Qiao Rulong said, "Grandpa, you can't let me take the blame, right?"

Old Qiao said angrily, "You caused trouble, you are taking responsibility, not taking the blame."

Qiao Rulong shook his head and said, "I won't go. I can't bring shame to the Qiao family, and I can't let the Qiao family get involved in this trouble."

Old Qiao looked at Qiao Rulong with disappointment. His original intention was not to let his grandson bear all the responsibilities, he just wanted to see his grandson's attitude, but in the end he was disappointed.
