Great Doctor Without Borders

Chapter 1528 Meeting

Lu Qi was even more confused than Liu Haiyu. Although he didn't understand the situation, he knew who his friends were. Liu Haiyu came to the police station for help but didn't mention Xu Chunliang's name at all. Now that Xu Chunliang dared to show his face in public, it proved that there wasn't too much trouble so far.

Lu Qi said, "It's okay to call the police, but we have to follow the proper procedures." He pushed open the car door and got out. Legal principles are no different from human sentiment. Before there is solid evidence to prove that Xu Chunliang has committed a crime, he still stands on the side of his friend.

Liu Haiyu said, "Officer Lu, I think it's better to leave this matter to me."

Lu Qi looked at Xu Chunliang, clearly seeking Xu Chunliang's opinion.

Xu Chunliang's smile remained unchanged: "Old Liu, are you sure you can handle this?"

Liu Haiyu nodded and waved to Lu Qi, signaling him not to come over and cause trouble, as Xu Chunliang's sudden appearance had disrupted his rhythm.

Xu Chunliang had no intention of dragging Lu Qi into this trouble. Although Lu Qi was a policeman, his authority was vastly different from Liu Haiyu's.

Xu Chunliang said, "Officer Lu, since Comrade Lao Liu is so sincere, we won't trouble you for now. You can go ahead with your work."

Lu Qi said with a double meaning, "Xu Chunliang, if you really run into trouble, be sure to find the police. Don't worry, I will definitely stand on the side of justice."

Xu Chunliang said, "It's nothing. I'll definitely come to you when I run into real trouble."

Liu Haiyu pointed to his car, gesturing for Xu Chunliang to get in, but Xu Chunliang pointed to the noodle shop across from the hospital: "You haven't eaten yet, have you? I'll treat you to noodles."

Liu Haiyu couldn't dissuade Xu Chunliang, so he had no choice but to follow him to the old Shaanxi noodle shop across the street. His subordinates wanted to follow him, but Liu Haiyu stopped them with a look.

Xu Chunliang hadn't eaten, so he ordered a bowl of knife-cut noodles and added half a pound of beef. Liu Haiyu said he had already eaten, poured himself a cup of free tea, and sat opposite Xu Chunliang, watching him eat.

Hsu Chun-liang buried his head in his noodles, seemingly completely ignoring Liu Hai-yu's presence.

Liu Haiyu finally couldn't help but ask, "How exactly did you escape?"

Xu Chunliang said, "Didn't you release me?"

Liu Haiyu's eyes widened: "I didn't..."

Xu Chunliang said, "Alright, I appreciate your favor. If it weren't for your help, I might be locked up in some dark and gloomy place right now."

Liu Haiyu said nervously, "Don't get me in trouble, kid. I didn't do anything wrong."

"Who would believe that? Surrounded by so many people, with so many guns pointed at you, and with poison and tranquilizers used, how could you possibly escape without an inside man? Tell me the truth, didn't your superiors suspect you?"

Liu Haiyu looked miserable. If this kid said that, who knows what other people might think? Would Feng Mingjun have such thoughts?
Xu Chunliang peeled a head of raw garlic, ate a piece of beef, and stuffed a clove of raw garlic into his mouth: "Eating meat without garlic means losing half the nutrition, how satisfying!"

Liu Haiyu was too lazy to argue any further. Based on their past encounters, there was no point in reasoning with this guy. He lowered his voice and said, "This matter has nothing to do with you. As long as you tell us the whereabouts of Su Tianyu and his daughter, your life will continue as normal."

"Is that possible?" Xu Chunliang asked rhetorically.

Liu Haiyu knew perfectly well that it was impossible, but he still answered against his will: "Of course, even if you don't believe me, you should believe Director Feng."

Xu Chunliang laughed and said, "I didn't know. I thought you had let them go."

Liu Haiyu said, "Xiao Xu, there are some things we both know. I don't need to tell you what you did on the rooftop or what your relationship with Su Qing is, do I?"

Xu Chunliang said, "I originally had nothing to do with this matter. You asked me to cooperate with your operation, and I did. Now you are turning around and trying to shift all the blame for the failure of the operation onto me."

Liu Haiyu said, "Xiao Xu, you need to realize the seriousness of the matter."

Xu Chunliang said, "I know you're in a difficult position too. You have to follow Director Feng's orders. There's no point in me talking to you."

Liu Haiyu thought to himself, "You know it's good that you know. Why make things difficult for an outsider like me with the problems between you and your son?" But he couldn't say such things out loud under any circumstances. In the end, he could only sigh, and then he felt a sharp pain in his chest.

Xu Chunliang could tell his condition from his facial expression, and feigned sympathy: "Is your chest hurting again?"

Liu Haiyu sighed again. This kid is really hateful. He pretends to be ignorant even though he knows the truth. Isn't my chest pain caused by him?

Xu Chunliang said, "Old Liu, judging from your age, you must have elderly parents and young children to support, right?"

Liu Haiyu immediately became alert. Could this kid be planning something that would harm his family?
Xu Chunliang laughed and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm not that despicable. I still understand the principle of not harming family members. Besides, if I did that, wouldn't you be seeking revenge against Director Feng? When will this cycle of revenge end?"

Liu Haiyu felt completely at a disadvantage in front of him. To be precise, it wasn't just Xu Chunliang, but also Feng Mingjun. Both mother and son could easily find his weaknesses.

Liu Haiyu said with a wry smile, "I only have old feelings for you and no personal grudges. I will not forget the favor I owe you, but public and private matters are public and private matters are private matters. It is my duty, and I hope you can understand."

Xu Chunliang asked, "Did she ask you to arrest me?"

Liu Haiyu shook his head; there was no need to hide this matter. Xu Chunliang thought to himself that Feng Mingjun probably didn't want this to escalate. Since she was unwilling to publicly arrest him, he wouldn't be in any trouble for the time being.

Xu Chunliang said, "I want to meet her."

Liu Haiyu said, "It seems like this doesn't need my approval."

Xu Chunliang said, "The sooner I meet her, the better it will be for you. At least you won't be caught in the middle and suffer from both sides."

Liu Haiyu said, "I didn't feel anything." Then he felt another sharp pain in his chest.

Xu Chunliang said, "There will be retribution for lying."

"When?"

"The sooner the better."

Liu Haiyu took out his phone and contacted Feng Mingjun. He knew very well that news of his meeting with Xu Chunliang had probably already reached her ears.

Xu Chunliang continued to eat his noodles, and by the time he finished, he had also received a result regarding Liu Haiyu's contact.

"Two hours later, at Dongzhou Cultural Palace."

Dongzhou Cultural Palace was once one of Dongzhou's landmark cultural buildings in the 1970s and 80s. It has evolved into a theater, a cinema, a dance hall, and a karaoke bar. Currently, all businesses have withdrawn, and it has become one of the historical buildings within the protected area of ​​Dongzhou.

Feng Mingjun arrived ten minutes earlier than agreed. It was drizzling, but she didn't use an umbrella. Standing in front of the gate, she looked at the red flag and the relief of the Party emblem on the gate and reminisced about the past.

Long ago, she had come here with Xu Jiaxuan and even watched a movie here. Everything felt so familiar yet so strange.

Xu Chunliang arrived at her side on time with an umbrella, and took the initiative to use the umbrella to shield her from the rain falling from the sky.

Feng Mingjun asked, "Do you know why I chose to meet here?"

Xu Chunliang said, "Could it be to make it easier to ambush people?"

Feng Mingjun said, "If we wanted to arrest you, we wouldn't have waited until now."

Xu Chunliang said, "Thank you for showing me mercy." Judging from Feng Mingjun's actions recently, she must know his secret.

Feng Mingjun said, "The onlooker sees more of the game than the player. Some things are clearly very simple and full of loopholes, but when they happen to you, you will still be confused and not know how to solve them."

Xu Chunliang said, "You are not the indecisive type."

Feng Mingjun said, "From childhood to adulthood, I haven't taken good care of you. I missed out on your growth, and your grandfather is very dissatisfied with this."

Xu Chunliang said, "It's not solely your fault, and you don't have custody either."

Feng Mingjun smiled calmly and said, "Xu Jiaxuan and I were forced to separate. The nature of our work does not allow us to be together."

"Why not choose to quit and live a peaceful life with your family?"

Feng Mingjun shook his head: "No one is born liking adventure. It's not that we haven't thought about it, but having you has given us a weakness. You don't know that when I gave birth to you, you were kidnapped. Your father and I paid a huge price to rescue you."

Xu Chunliang said, "So that's why you decided to leave me in Dongzhou?"

Feng Mingjun said, "They injected some kind of neurotoxin into your body. After we found out, we tried our best to find an antidote. Although we saved your life, your physical and mental health were affected to some extent."

Xu Chunliang fell silent. Only now did he understand why he had failed the college entrance examination three times. The true owner of this body, Xu Cong, was a mentally unstable person. Why had he not considered such a simple reason before?
Therefore, Feng Mingjun would have doubts, and Xu Jiaxuan would likely feel the same way. What about Grandpa? Did Grandpa know this secret? Did he ever suspect him?

Feng Mingjun said, "We have consulted many famous doctors for your sake, but they are all powerless to help you with your condition. Most people predict that you will not live past the age of thirty, and this is based on the premise of long-term injection of super neurotrophic factors."

Xu Chunliang took a deep breath; it seemed she had long harbored suspicions about him.

Feng Mingjun said, "In fact, most parents in the world have compelling reasons for leaving their children. Your grandfather didn't know that the medical expenses spent on you had already reached an astronomical figure. When you were eighteen, your father took you to the capital for a comprehensive examination, and the conclusion was that you only had three years left to live."

Xu Chunliang thought to himself, according to her words, if he had not come into this world, Xu Cong might already be dead. Recalling the scene when he came into this world naked, if he had not come, that day should have been Xu Cong's death day.

Feng Mingjun said, "Your grandfather doesn't know the real situation. We dare not tell him, for fear that he cannot bear it."

Xu Chunliang said, "All these years, didn't he notice anything unusual?"

Feng Mingjun said, "Perhaps the old man just doesn't want to face reality. I believe he has always regarded you as his most precious grandson, more important than his own life."
