Great Doctor Without Borders

Chapter 1560 Not Disturbing

When Wang Jianming was saying goodbye to his grandfather, he learned of Qiao Yuanjiang's sudden death. Old Master Wang had just called Old Master Qiao to express his condolences, and it was clear that Old Master Wang was also greatly affected. He believed that Qiao Yuanjiang's death was one of the acts of revenge against the two families.

Wang Jianming comforted him, "Grandpa, no one can escape birth, aging, sickness and death. It's just that this time it happened around us. Uncle Qiao's death was an accident."

Old Wang said, "I saw Qiao at his house a few days ago and he was fine. How could he just be gone like that? Sigh!" He felt sad for his old friend. Of his two sons, one has been missing ever since and is probably in grave danger, while the other died suddenly during the investigation.

Wang Jianming said, "Some diseases cannot be detected by examination." In his opinion, it was better for Qiao Yuanjiang to end his life in this way than to be investigated for violating discipline. Although Wang Jianming did not know what mistakes Qiao Yuanjiang had made, the fact that the relevant departments had found him proved that his problems were very serious.

Generally, since deceased public officials are no longer able to perform their duties and assume corresponding responsibilities, they are no longer subject to legal prosecution. This can be considered a stroke of luck for Qiao Yuanshan, as it at least preserved the reputation of the Qiao family.

Old Wang said earnestly, "An official must never use his power for personal gain. You must always keep this in mind."

Wang Jianming accepted the advice respectfully: "Grandpa, don't worry. From the day I entered the system, I never thought of using my position to seek any benefit for myself or my family."

Old Wang said, "The greater the power, the more temptations you will face, and most of the smiling people around you are not your friends."

Wang Jianming said, "Grandpa, I shouldn't be leaving so soon. But..."

Old Wang interrupted him, saying, "As the top official of Dongzhou, what will happen to Dongzhou if you don't leave? We can handle these family matters."

Wang Jianming knew very well that the problems the Wang family was facing were not as easy as his grandfather had made them out to be, nor could they be solved in a short period of time.

Old Wang understood that he wouldn't believe him, so he patted Wang Jianming on the shoulder and said, "Go back. You can't help much if you stay. Go do what you should do and do the right thing."

Wang Jianming nodded. At this moment, Wang Zhengdao came over. He had also come specifically to consult his father about Qiao Yuanjiang's death.

Wang Jianming said hello and got up to leave.

After he left, Wang Zhengdao whispered, "Dad, Qiao Yuanjiang has passed away. Should I go to the Qiao family?"

Old Wang glared at him: "Do you think this is appropriate?"

Wang Zhengdao said somewhat awkwardly, "Although I have had some unpleasantness with him, our two families are still on good terms, so it wouldn't be right not to offer my condolences."

Old Wang said, "You might be one of the people your Uncle Qiao least wants to see."

Wang Zhengdao had no objection to his father's words. After all, he had used Qiao Yuanjiang's weaknesses to blackmail him several times in the past, and even forced him to bring up the marriage agreement between Wang Jiancheng and Mei Ruxue again. Although it was not his fault that Qiao Yuanjiang was called in for investigation this time, he did not know what the Qiao family would think. Looking back, he could not say that Qiao Yuanshan's disappearance was completely unrelated to him.

Old Wang sighed and said, "Your Uncle Qiao doesn't want outsiders to interfere, so let's just leave the Yuanjiang matter alone. You mustn't make a fuss about it again."

Wang Zhengdao said with a bitter face, "Dad, I'm not the kind of person who kicks someone when they're down. Besides, I've always considered Yuanjiang my older brother."

Old Wang said, "You all know the relationship between the three of us. Because of us, you younger generation also became friends. But later..." Old Wang sighed again. He was too lazy to waste his breath and there was no need to continue. If his son had regarded Qiao Yuanjiang as his elder brother, there wouldn't have been so much unpleasantness.

"Dad, once this matter is settled, I will hand over all my work to Jiancheng, retire from the business world, and accompany you to tour the beautiful landscapes of our motherland."

Old Wang shook his head: "Go by yourself, I'm too old to walk anymore."

"Then I'll stay home with you."

Old Wang looked at his son and asked, "How come you've suddenly become so sensible?"

Wang Zhengdao said with emotion, "Dad, I have caused you too much trouble over the years. Now that I think about it, I am really unfilial. You must live to be a hundred years old so that I will have time to make up for it."

He held his father's wrinkled hand.

Old Wang gave a warm smile: "You rascal, getting all sentimental. Alright, cheer up. The most important thing right now is to get the construction done."

Wang Zhengdao nodded: "We didn't misjudge him. Chunliang is a decisive and efficient guy. These past two days, he's been using the resources of Bureau 579 to conduct a major investigation. My company and Qiao Rulong's company have been thoroughly investigated."

Old Wang said wearily, "You don't need to tell me the specifics. I will do my best to support you, but you must also be careful." The recent series of accidents had made him somewhat worried, wondering what other underhanded tricks this potential adversary might have in store for them.

"Dad, don't worry, I'm lucky and I'll be fine."

Old Wang said, "Yuanjiang passed away unexpectedly. Xiaoxue should be coming back, right?"

Wang Zhengdao said respectfully, "I will definitely come back. You are right. At this time, it is best for me not to disturb the Qiao family."

Mr. Wang said, "Not disturbing you is the greatest respect."

Qiao Rulong did not leave as he wished. Just as he turned his car around, a car blocked his way. Two men got out of the car, came up to him, showed him the identification of Bureau 579, and asked him to go back with them for investigation.

Qiao Rulong was furious: "What's so great about Bureau 579? My uncle died, and I'm going home to handle his funeral."

The other party showed him no respect whatsoever: "Mr. Qiao, we won't take up too much of your time, and we hope you can cooperate."

"What if I don't agree?" "Then we'll have to resort to coercive measures against you."

"you dare……"

Before Qiao Rulong could finish speaking, the other party grabbed his arm and pressed his body against the car: "Mr. Qiao, we hope you will cooperate with our work."

Qiao Rulong angrily said, "You are lawless and should consider the consequences."

Qiao Rulong struggled in vain; facing two well-trained agents, he had no chance to fight back.

However, Qiao Rulong was only taken to his office at the company headquarters, his own office. But at that moment, someone was sitting in his seat, with his back to the door, looking at the scenery outside the floor-to-ceiling window.

Qiao Rulong was wondering who was so arrogant.

A familiar voice rang out: "President Qiao really knows how to choose a location. You can see the entire Forbidden City from here."

Hsu Chun-liang slowly turned around.

Qiao Rulong's eyes widened in disbelief; he never imagined that the person representing Bureau 579 who wanted to speak with him was him.

Xu Chunliang said to the two agents, "I told you to invite President Qiao, why are you being so rude? Be careful President Qiao doesn't complain about you."

Qiao Rulong snorted coldly: "Xu Chunliang, what are you doing?"

Xu Chunliang said, "Sit down and talk." He gave a look, and the two agents released Qiao Rulong and then left.

Qiao Rulong stretched his aching arms, placed his hands on the table, and looked down at Xu Chunliang with a menacing gaze, as if he wanted to devour him whole.

Xu Chunliang said, "Let me introduce myself first. I am now a special envoy from Bureau 579."

Qiao Rulong said disdainfully, "Your identity is not important. Just remember that you have violated my civil rights. I can take you to court at any time if I want."

Xu Chunliang said, "President Qiao, you do have that right, but you'd better understand that since I dared to bring people to investigate you, I have enough confidence to prove that you have a problem."

"What's my problem?"

"Have you forgotten so quickly about how you acquired Changxing through a backdoor listing with Xiangjiang Investment Company back then?"

Qiao Rulong chuckled and said, "I thought it was something important, but that matter has nothing to do with me."

Xu Chunliang said, "Qi Shuang has nothing to do with you?"

Qiao Rulong's expression instantly froze. He glared at Xu Chunliang, who was threatening him with his private life. He squeezed out a sentence through gritted teeth: "You're really despicable."

Xu Chunliang said, "Don't say that. I have done you a great favor. I forgot that you are the kind of person who likes to repay kindness with enmity. You actually tricked me."

Qiao Rulong sensed that Xu Chunliang was referring to the medical license: "Xu Chunliang, I don't have the patience to waste time talking to you. My uncle has passed away, and I need to go back to handle the funeral arrangements. You'd better let me go right now."

Xu Chunliang asked, "Do you know how we found you?"

Qiao Rulong remained silent, feeling somewhat puzzled. Could it be that these people had been waiting downstairs at the company, ready to intercept his car as soon as they saw it?

Xu Chunliang asked, "Who were you talking to just now?"

Qiao Rulong expressed his resistance through silence.

Xu Chunliang asked, "Why is Ren Tianye so concerned about you? What's your relationship?"

Qiao Rulong said, "Xu Chunliang, you've gone too far!"

Xu Chunliang said, "Those involved are often confused, while bystanders see things clearly. Ren Tianye bought your shares and freed you from the mess in Changxing, but he refused to buy Wang Jiancheng's shares. His purpose in keeping Wang Jiancheng around is probably the same as yours: to use Wang Jiancheng to check and balance Wang Jianming."

Qiao Rulong said, "Are you deaf? I've already said I have no connection with that company."

Xu Chunliang nodded and said, "On the surface, Qi Shuang, Pan Weidong, and Wang Jiancheng are shareholders of the investment company, but some things cannot withstand investigation. Qiao Rulong, you really don't learn your lesson. You almost died in a car accident, and you still haven't learned your lesson."

Qiao Rulong nodded resentfully: "Did I hear that right? Are you lecturing me?"

Xu Chunliang said, "There's something you might not know. We just found out that Luan Yuchuan of Equator Capital is ostensibly the founder, but in reality, he's just a front man. He's working for a Japanese conglomerate."

Qiao Rulong frowned: "What's the point of telling me all this? I'm not interested at all. I've heard of Luan Yuchuan, but he's already dead."

Xu Chunliang said, "That's right. Luan Yuchuan is dead. He had another man named Tanaka Tamashiro. After Luan Yuchuan's death, Tanaka Tamashiro only inherited a small part of his estate. The management of Equator Capital fell into the hands of Ren Tianye."
