Great Doctor Without Borders

Chapter 1557: Falling into a trap
Xu Chunliang was secretly pleased; at least he wouldn't have to put up with Feng Mingjun's attitude anymore.

The old man said, "Young man, I don't know you well, but someone who can get Old Master Qiao to write a personal letter of recommendation must be pretty good."

Xu Chunliang said, "Don't worry, I will find Fang Boyan as soon as possible."

The old man nodded and said, "That's what I want. Whether he's dead or alive, we need to find out. Once we find his whereabouts, all the problems will be solved."

Xu Chunliang asked, "What are your plans for dealing with Wang Jiancheng?"

The old man said, "This kid's mind has probably been controlled. He'll have to see how your actions go if he wants to break the deadlock."

Xu Chunliang laughed and said, "In that case, I'm under a lot of pressure."

"I didn't force you."

"I walked right into their trap."

The old man laughed: "Need any help?"

Xu Chunliang said, "Give me one person first, Liu Haiyu."

The old man said, "Alright! If you need anything else, just ask Feng Mingjun. If she neglects her duties, you can report it to me directly."

As the old man prepared to leave, Xu Chunliang asked, "How should I address you, sir?"

"My surname is Fei!"

"Fei Lao!"

Xu Chunliang bid farewell to Fei Lao and returned to Feng Mingjun's office. By this time, Feng Mingjun had already received the news, and her attitude towards Xu Chunliang had subtly changed: "Please sit down!"

Xu Chunliang noticed the extra word "please" she used and smiled, "Nothing else, just came to let you know."

Feng Mingjun said, "The greater the power you are given, the more cautious you need to be."

Xu Chunliang said, "I will keep your teachings in mind."

Feng Mingjun sighed: "What do you plan to do?"

Xu Chunliang thought to himself, "I have more authority than you now, so I don't need to explain what I'm going to do to you." He replied, "I haven't thought it through yet. I'll tell you when I've made a plan."

Feng Mingjun was quite annoyed by his condescending tone; the wolf in sheep's clothing became arrogant after gaining power.

Feng Mingjun really didn't want to see his smug face: "I have another meeting."

Xu Chunliang knew she was telling him to leave, but he didn't leave immediately: "By the way, can Su Qing's arrest warrant be withdrawn?"

Feng Mingjun said, "Are you giving me orders?"

Xu Chunliang smiled and said, "I'm discussing this with you."

Feng Mingjun said irritably, "You don't need to discuss this with me, this matter has already been resolved."

Xu Chunliang was certain that Su Qing's problem had been resolved and he had put his mind at ease, so there was no need for him to stay any longer.

Once outside, he encountered Liu Haiyu, who was waiting for him.

Liu Haiyu asked with a long face, "Xiao Xu, what do you need me for?"

Xu Chunliang thought to himself that Fei Lao was quite efficient; it had only been a short time before the message was relayed.

Xu Chunliang said, "Old Liu, come here, I have some things to ask you to do."

Liu Haiyu was completely bewildered, but dared not disobey, and led him to his small office.

Xu Chunliang asked, "Have you already received news about Su Qing's matter?"

Liu Haiyu nodded and said, "Received. Su Tianyu's case is closed. The bureau has given up on investigating Su Qing, and she will not have any trouble in the future."

Xu Chunliang said, "Go and arrest a few people."

Liu Haiyu had long known that this guy was up to no good: "Although our bureau has considerable power, we can't arrest people without a reason."

Xu Chunliang said, "You don't need to worry about too much. I'll take responsibility for anything that happens."

Liu Haiyu asked, "Who are you arresting?"

Xu Chunliang wrote down several names on the spot and sent them to Liu Haiyu, telling him to take care of them immediately.

Liu Haiyu was stunned after taking one look: "You...you must be mistaken. Which of these people doesn't have a background? Arresting any of them will cause a chain reaction."

Xu Chunliang said, "Didn't I tell you, don't worry about the consequences? Anyway, if the sky falls, Director Feng will hold it up."

Liu Haiyu nodded: "Okay! You're in charge!" There was nothing he could do; the other person was number 044, and now they had a lot of authority, supposedly equivalent to Director Feng's.

Meng Jinglai was taken away from his company. At first, he thought they were police officers, but after being put into the car, he realized something was wrong; the car windows were opaque. Meng Jinglai was terrified and shouted at the two staff members escorting him, "Who are you? How dare you impersonate police officers? Open your eyes and see who I am! See where you are!"

With an honest-looking face, Liu Haiyu pulled out his ID and waved it in front of him: "Did you see it clearly?"

Meng Jinglai stared at the work badge. The other party was from Bureau 579. Meng Jinglai was not an ignorant person; he had heard of this mysterious organization, but had never dealt with Bureau 579 before: "Bureau 579? What do you want with me?"

Following Xu Chunliang's instructions, Liu Haiyu explained that he had come to see Meng Jinglai because of Wang Jiancheng, and that he needed to understand some things from him.

Meng Jinglai was somewhat resistant to this: "It's true that I'm his uncle, but I didn't see him when he came back this time, so I don't know anything about his situation."

Liu Haiyu said, "Don't be nervous, we won't take up too much of your time."

"I need to contact my lawyer. I will not answer any of your questions without my lawyer's presence."

Liu Haiyu said, "I have no problem, because I'm not the one who wants to ask you a question!"

Liu Haiyu was not lying. The person who ordered him to arrest Meng Jing was Xu Chunliang, and the person who wanted to question him face-to-face was also Xu Chunliang.

When Meng Jinglai was taken to the interrogation room of the secret base No. 49, he saw Xu Chunliang sitting there waiting for him. His first thought was that Xu Chunliang had also been arrested like him.

Meng Jinglai asked, "Chunliang, what's going on?"

Xu Chunliang said, "I need to ask you something."

Meng Jinglai was somewhat confused. What? The one asking him the question was Xu Chunliang? Could it be...?

Xu Chunliang asked, "Do you know about Wang Jiancheng's matter?"

Meng Jinglai asked, "Chunliang, are you from Bureau 579?"

Xu Chunliang said, "President Meng, now it's my turn to ask you questions."

Meng Jinglai said, "No wonder. Did you have them bring me here? Chunliang, if you have any questions, you can just ask me directly. Why did you choose this place?"

Xu Chunliang said, "You don't tell the truth when you're out there."

Meng Jinglai understood that Xu Chunliang was going to interrogate him as a criminal. He chuckled and said, "Chunliang, we have some relationship, right? You know me. Don't think you can arrest me just like that, and don't think that having a position in the 579th Bureau is so powerful. I'll give you two choices: one, release me immediately, and I'll pretend nothing happened; two, contact my lawyer. Without my lawyer present, I won't answer any of your questions."

Xu Chunliang said, "I've already thought this through before I dared to invite you here. I know your background. Wang Zhengdao is your brother-in-law, but if he knows that you might be involved with Wang Jiancheng, do you think he would stand up for you? Would the Wang family stand up for you?"

Meng Jinglai said, "Stop right there. What do you mean I might be involved with Wang Jiancheng? Jiancheng is my nephew. How could I possibly harm him?"

"I said you harmed him? Meng Jinglai, do you remember when you asked me to treat your sister Meng Jingyuan's illness?"

Meng Jinglai said, "I was desperate and grasping at straws. If I had known that your arrival would lead to my sister's disappearance, I would never have invited you."

Xu Chunliang laughed and said, "I advise you to be careful with your words and actions. You should know why your sister disappeared. You didn't borrow Wang Zhengdao's villa to help Meng Jingyuan recuperate, but to imprison her."

Meng Jinglai angrily said, "Xu Chunliang, don't make baseless accusations. You can't just spout nonsense about things that the police haven't even investigated."

Xu Chunliang said, "Meng Jinglai, don't think everyone is so easy to fool. Your purpose in coming to me is not to treat Meng Jingyuan's illness, is it?"

Meng Jinglai said, "Think whatever you want, I have a clear conscience."

Xu Chunliang said, "Can you be so ashamed that you imprisoned your own sister for so many years and fabricated the lie that she went insane?"

Meng Jinglai said, "Xu Chunliang, don't try to smear my innocence. I have nothing to say to you. Bring your superiors here. I'm going to sue you for abusing your power."

Xu Chunliang said, "It seems you don't understand our bureau, and you also lack understanding of me. If you have a clear conscience, why don't you dare to look me in the eye?"

Provoked by him, Meng Jinglai immediately raised his eyes and stared directly at Xu Chunliang. Their eyes met, and Xu Chunliang remained calm as ever. Meng Jinglai used his gaze to express his anger, trying to overpower Xu Chunliang in terms of momentum. Based on his understanding of Xu Chunliang, even if he joined Bureau 579, he would only be a minor figure.

Meng Jinglai believed that given his background and connections, even if Bureau 579 lacked evidence, they wouldn't dare to do anything excessive to him.

Xu Chunliang smiled slightly at him, and Meng Jinglai immediately felt his heart race. He felt an inexplicable sense of guilt and fear, as if Xu Chunliang had seen through everything about him.

Xu Chunliang asked, "What is your relationship with Jiang Yucheng?"

Meng Jinglai tried to block out Xu Chunliang's words, but every word he spoke was like a nail driven into his mind, the sound echoing repeatedly in his head.

Meng Jinglai shook his head vigorously, trying to escape Xu Chunliang's sharp gaze. However, his eyes seemed to be glued to Xu Chunliang's gaze. Meng Jinglai opened his mouth wide in fear, trying to resist Xu Chunliang's question, but his heart was struggling between answering and not answering.

Knowing full well that he shouldn't answer, yet feeling guilty for not replying, Meng Jinglai realized that something might be wrong with him. Xu Chunliang's expression had changed again; he was no longer as calm as before, but exuded a powerful aura, with a strong sense of oppression constantly approaching Meng Jinglai.

Meng Jinglai felt as if an invisible mountain was pressing down on his chest, making it almost impossible for him to breathe. A thought popped into his mind: I should tell the truth. Only by telling the truth can I breathe freely.

Meng Jinglai said in a trembling voice, "I...I've never seen him..."

Xu Chunliang's voice suddenly grew louder: "Lying!" Like a thunderclap in the sky, it startled Meng Jinglai, who stammered, "I...I didn't lie, I've never seen his true face..."
