Is it hard to chase the school beauty?It doesn't matter, she still has roommates

"fine."

Qin Luo quickly adjusted his expression.

“Officer Ai, instead of doubting me here, let’s find out the truth together. I can assist with the investigation.”

Ai Yiqian scrutinized him, seemingly trying to determine the truthfulness of his words.

Finally, she nodded slightly.

"Okay, I hope Dr. Qin will keep his word."

After Ai Yiqian and Dean Huang left, Li Ping moved closer to Qin Luo and lowered her voice.

"Dr. Qin, did you really only take a dozen seconds?"

Qin Luo didn't answer, but instead took out his phone and dialed a number.

"Sweetie? It's me, Qin Luo. I have a few questions about the service procedures in the neonatal ward."

A lively female voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Dr. Qin! You finally remembered me! Please feel free to ask me anything!"

Half an hour later, Qin Luo stood in front of the pediatric nurses' station, facing Little Sweetie, who had her hair in a ponytail and looked excited.

"All newborns will receive the vaccine within 24 hours of birth."

Little Sweetie counted on her fingers.

"The first dose of hepatitis B vaccine, BCG vaccine, and vitamin K injection."

Qin Luo interrupted her.

Are the syringes and other equipment used for injection provided by the company?

"of course!"

Little sweet treats.

"They're all procured centrally by the hospital and picked up from the warehouse. Why is Dr. Qin suddenly interested in this?"

Qin Luo did not answer, his eyes gleaming.

He quickly dialed Ai Yiqian's number.

"Officer Ai, I think I've found a clue. Could you please come to Xiao'er's place?"

Twenty minutes later, Ai Yiqian rushed over, followed by Dean Huang.

"Dr. Qin, what did you discover?"

Ai Yiqian got straight to the point.

Qin Luo said in a deep voice.

"I reviewed all the cases of infants infected with cholera; they were in different wards and had no direct contact. The only thing they had in common was..."

"It's a vaccination!"

Ai Yiqian immediately realized what was happening.

Dean Huang's expression changed drastically.

"This is impossible! Our vaccines and equipment were all procured through legitimate channels!"

"Dean."

Qin Luo said calmly.

"I need to go to the warehouse to check on the vaccines and syringe equipment."

Dean Huang hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded.

"Okay, I'll take you there."

Meanwhile, on the fifth floor of the hospital's administration building, in the vice president's office.

"Dad! Something terrible has happened!"

Ma Xiaoxi kicked open the door to the chairman's office, her face pale and beads of sweat forming on her forehead.

He rushed to his father Ma Youcai's desk, his hands gripping the surface, his knuckles turning white from the force.

Ma Youcai slowly raised his head, his brows furrowed.

"How many times have I told you to knock before entering my office?"

"We can't worry about that now!"

Ma Xiaoxi's voice trembled.

"The hospital found a problem with that batch of injection equipment!"

Ma Youcai's eyes sharpened instantly. He put down his pen and leaned forward slightly.

"say clearly."

"It's...it's the batch of syringes we bought at a low price last month."

Ma Xiaoxi swallowed.

"The hospital tested positive for cholera, and Qin Luo has been cleared of suspicion. Now the police will definitely trace it back to me!"

Ma Youcai's face was so gloomy it could drip water. He slowly stood up, walked to the French windows, and turned his back to his son.

"I warned you not to get involved in medical equipment. Although the profits are high, the risks are too great."

"What's the point of saying this now!"

Ma Xiaoxi frantically tugged at her tie.

"Dad, you have to help me figure this out! If it really comes back to me, the company is finished!"

Ma Youcai turned around and looked at his good-for-nothing son with a complicated expression.

After a long pause, he sighed.

Who signed the procurement contract?

“Purchasing Manager Wang Defa”.

"very good."

Ma Youcai's eyes gleamed.

"Put all the responsibility on him."

Ma Xiaoxi was taken aback.

"But."

"No buts!"

Ma Youcai interrupted sharply.

What's the situation at Wang Defa's home?

His wife just gave birth to their second child, and their eldest daughter is still in college.

Ma Youcai sneered.

“Give him two million and make him take responsibility for this. Tell him that if he refuses, his wife and children will never have a good life.”

Ma Xiaoxi's eyes lit up.

"Dad, you mean..."

"remember."

Ma Youcai lowered his voice.

“From now on, you know nothing. That batch of equipment was purchased privately by Wang Defa; you were completely unaware of it. Understand?”

Ma Xiaoxi nodded repeatedly, and a smile finally appeared on her face.

"Understood! I'll arrange it right away!"

Three days later, the medical device company.

"Everyone, don't move! Police!"

Ai Yiqian rushed into the company gate first, followed by more than a dozen fully armed police officers.

Her sharp gaze swept over the panicked employees, finally settling on the direction of the general manager's office.

"Ma Xiaoxi! Come out!"

The office door slowly opened, and Ma Xiaoxi walked out, impeccably dressed in a suit, a nauseating fake smile on her face.

"Hey, isn't this Officer Ai? What brings you here?"

Ai Yiqian suppressed her anger and brandished the search warrant.

"Your company's injection equipment carried the cholera virus, resulting in multiple infections. Your company is now being searched on suspicion of endangering public safety!"

Ma Xiaoxi spread her hands out exaggeratedly.

"Oh dear, this is a huge misunderstanding! That batch of equipment was purchased by the purchasing department without my knowledge!"

"Stop pretending!"

Ai Yiqian sneered.

"take away!"

The interrogation room was brightly lit.

Ai Yiqian slammed the test report heavily on the table.

"Ma Xiaoxi, the evidence is irrefutable, what else do you have to say?"

Ma Xiaoxi leaned back lazily in her chair.

“Officer Ai, I’ve made myself perfectly clear. This was done by purchasing manager Wang Defa without authorization, and I’ve already fired him.”

"You think you can get away with just scapegoating?"

Ai Yiqian gritted her teeth.

At that moment, the interrogation room door was pushed open, and a police officer walked in and whispered a few words in Ai Yiqian's ear.

Ai Yiqian's expression changed drastically.

"What? He confessed?"

Ma Xiaoxi smiled smugly.

"Look, what did I say?"

Half an hour later, in the director's office.

"Ai Yiqian! You've disappointed me so much!"

The bureau chief slammed his fist on the table and stood up.

"Arresting someone without solid evidence? Now they're suing you for defamation!"

Ai Yiqian clenched her fists tightly.

"Chief, it's clearly Ma Xiaoxi."

"Where's the evidence?"

The bureau chief interrupted her.

"Now that someone has confessed, why are you still clinging to Ma Xiaoxi?"

Ai Yiqian was speechless and could only watch helplessly as Ma Xiaoxi swaggered out of the police station.

At the entrance of the police station, Ma Xiaoxi deliberately slowed her pace, waiting for Qin Luo and Ai Yiqian to come out.

"Hey, you two."

He said it in a sarcastic tone.

"I'm really sorry this time, I've made you all work for nothing."

Ai Yiqian was so angry that she trembled all over.

"Ma Xiaoxi, don't get too cocky!" Ma Xiaoxi leaned close to Ai Yiqian's ear and whispered.

"Officer Ai, be careful, or I might sue you for defamation."

After saying that, he laughed and walked towards his luxury car.

Qin Luo pulled Ai Yiqian back from rushing forward.

"Don't be impulsive, he will pay the price sooner or later."

Watching Ma Xiaoxi's car speed away, Qin Luo took out his phone and dialed a number.

"Black Rose, the plan can begin."

The Supreme Entertainment City is brightly lit.

Ma Xiaoxi walked into the casino humming a tune and casually tossed a gold card to the front desk.

"Exchange for 100,000 chips!"

He was in a great mood tonight. Not only had he escaped jail time, but his company had only been fined a small amount of money.

More importantly, he proved that there was nothing in this city that the Ma family couldn't handle!

"Sir, would you like to play with me?"

Two hot, beautiful women pressed themselves against her from the left and right.

Ma Xiaoxi grinned and casually put her arms around their slender waists.

"Of course I need it! I'm sure I'll have a lucky streak tonight!"

Sure enough, in less than two hours, the chips in front of Ma Xiaoxi had piled up into a small mountain.

"Haha! We won again!"

He slammed his hand on the table in excitement.

"Give each of the two ladies a tip of ten thousand!"

The dealer was a pretty young woman who smiled as she pushed the chips toward Ma Xiaoxi.

"Sir, you're really lucky tonight."

Ma Xiaoxi was beaming with pride.

"That's right! This young master has been having a lucky streak lately!"

At 3 a.m., Ma Xiaoxi had already won 200,000 yuan.

He led the two beautiful women towards the guest room, completely unaware that the dealer quickly dialed a phone number after he left.

"Sister Rose, the fish has taken the bait."

On the other end of the phone, Black Rose's red lips slightly curved upwards.

"Very good, continue according to plan."

The next day at noon, Ma Xiaoxi was woken up by her cell phone ringing.

"Hey?"

He answered the phone in a daze.

"Mr. Ma, this is the company..."

It was the secretary's voice.

"Fuck away!"

Ma Xiaoxi interrupted impatiently.

"People from the Industry and Commerce Bureau came and said they wanted to seal off the company."

Ma Xiaoxi suddenly sat up.

"what?!"

"They said it would be a three-month suspension of business for rectification, and a fine of 500,000 yuan."

Ma Xiaoxi breathed a sigh of relief; compared to going to jail, this was the best possible outcome.

He hung up the phone, looked at the two beautiful women still fast asleep beside him, and suddenly grinned. Since the company couldn't start work for the time being, he might as well take this opportunity to make more money!
He roughly shook the two beautiful women awake.

"Get up! Come with me to gamble a few more rounds!"

Inside the casino, Ma Xiaoxi's "good luck" continued.

Before noon, he won another 100,000.

"Mr. Ma has such good luck!"

came a familiar voice.

Ma Xiaoxi turned around and saw Zhao Dayong looking at him with a smile.

"Oh, Manager Zhao."

Ma Xiaoxi was in a great mood.

"What, are you jealous because I'm winning money?"

Zhao Dayong waved his hand.

"No way! But..."

He lowered his voice.

"The casino will be closed for three days for rectification. What do you think?"

"what?"

Ma Xiaoxi's face darkened.

"My luck is just right!"

Zhao Dayong smiled apologetically.

"We can't do anything about the surprise inspections from above."

Ma Xiaoxi scratched her hair in frustration.

"One last round! I'm betting 100,000!"

The dice cup was lifted, and Ma Xiaoxi won again.

"Haha! Heaven is helping me!"

He laughed wildly as he collected his chips.

At that moment, the beautiful woman next to him leaned close to his ear.

"Mr. Ma, since this place is closing down, why not go to Southeast Asia? The casinos there are open 24 hours a day, and..."

She winked ambiguously.

"The gameplay is even more exciting!"

Ma Xiaoxi's eyes lit up.

"you're right!"

He took out his cell phone.

"Book me the fastest flight to Southeast Asia!"

Five hours later, Ma Xiaoxi was already standing in the VIP room of a casino in Southeast Asia.

Standing before him was a croupier even more beautiful than those in China, speaking in a sickeningly sweet voice.

"Welcome, Mr. Ma. We have prepared the highest level of service for you."

In the basement of a casino in Southeast Asia, the damp and stuffy air was filled with the smells of blood and sweat.

Ma Xiaoxi huddled in the corner, covered in blood, wearing only a torn pair of underwear.

His left eye was so swollen he couldn't open it, and blood was still seeping from the corner of his mouth.

"Please, give me a little more time."

Ma Xiaoxi's voice was so hoarse that it was almost inaudible.

A burly man with a blue dragon tattoo kicked him in the stomach.

"Time? You owe Brother Leopard twenty million, how the hell are you going to pay it back?"

Ma Xiaoxi arched her body in pain, like a boiled shrimp.

At this time yesterday, he was sitting confidently at the VIP gambling table, thinking he could continue his good luck at the Supreme Casino.

Unexpectedly, his luck ran out, and he not only lost all of the more than four million he had won, but also all of the more than two million in savings in his bank account.

"Again! I refuse to believe this!"

I still vividly remember the scene of him slamming his fist on the table with red eyes.

Just then, a tall, thin man wearing a floral shirt approached.

"Young Master Ma, wanna play for the big bucks? Our interest rates are low, and you can borrow whenever you want."

Ma Xiaoxi was blinded by her losses and signed the first IOU for one million yuan without thinking.

Then came five million, ten million. By the time he realized he owed an astronomical sum, the casino was already closed, and a dozen thugs surrounded him.

"Want to run?"

The tattooed, burly man grabbed Ma Xiaoxi by the hair and lifted him up.

"Do you know where this place is?"

Ma Xiaoxi trembled all over and suddenly knelt down.

"Brother! I was wrong! I'll call my dad right now and have him send the money!"

"Twenty-four hours, twenty million. If you're short even a penny, you can just wait to collect your corpse."

The burly man threw an old-fashioned cell phone in front of him.

The moment the call connected, Ma Xiaoxi cried like a child.

"Dad! I've been kidnapped in Southeast Asia! I owe 18 million, plus interest, totaling 20 million! They're going to kill me if I don't pay them back within 24 hours!"

Ma Youcai on the other end of the phone was struck dumb.

"What?! How could you..."

"Dad! Save me!"

Ma Xiaoxi's cries echoed in the basement.

After hanging up the phone, Ma Youcai immediately pulled out his bankbook. All his savings totaled less than three million.

He dialed the numbers of several "friends" with trembling hands, but when these people who usually called him brothers heard that he needed to borrow money, they either made excuses about being short of cash or hung up immediately.

"Director Wang, this is my son."

"Old Ma, it's not that I don't want to help you, it's just that my house is being renovated recently."

In the end, he had to mortgage his house to barely scrape together five million.

With only three hours left until the deadline, Ma Youcai realized in despair that he couldn't even scrape together a fraction of his son's debt.

In the dark room, Ma Xiaoxi had not eaten or drunk anything for a day and a night.

His lips were cracked and his consciousness began to fade.

Suddenly, the iron gate creaked open.

"Hey, isn't this Young Master Ma? What's gotten into you like this?"

Ma Xiaoxi looked up with difficulty and saw a tall, slender figure against the backlight.

When he saw the person's face clearly, his pupils contracted sharply.

"Qin Qinluo?!"

Qin Luo, dressed in a sharp suit and gleaming leather shoes, stood out starkly against the filthy basement. (End of Chapter)
