Old Wang opened his mouth and said, "Why should I apologize? At most, I won't pursue the responsibility for her hitting me. Don't scare me. I'm so old, you can't arrest me. I'm not easily frightened."

Li Mu said, "So you do have some self-awareness, knowing you're getting old. At your age, you should understand some principles and know that doing too many bad things will bring retribution. Even if we don't take you away, God will."

The old man's face turned pale at these words.

"Who did more bad things? Who got their comeuppance? You're the ones who did more bad things!"

Li Mu suddenly waved his hand: "Forget it, you understand the reasoning, but with your slovenly behavior, it's pointless to reason with you."

"Considering your age, Ms. Zhou is very magnanimous and will not hold it against you for hitting someone, nor will she ask for compensation. In your current state, you probably can't even support yourself. You reap what you sow; it's all your own doing."

He then turned and instructed, "Jiwei, have both parties sign."

Zhao Jiwei quickly took the notebook and went over. Li Mu's words had made Ms. Zhou feel much better, and she readily signed the document.

When it was Old Wang's turn, he looked up at Ms. Zhou, probably thinking that he had finally found someone to stage an accident for, and he didn't want to give up easily.

Li Mu snorted coldly, walked up to him, and tapped the table: "I've given you a chance, so don't cause trouble here. I'm leaving you some dignity. Don't wait until you've trampled on me before you think about picking me up; that won't look good for anyone."

Old Wang also realized that Li Mu was not someone to be trifled with. After hesitating for a moment, he finally signed the document.

Just then, Ms. Zhou suddenly screamed; it turned out that her child had a seizure.

Li Mu asked, "What about the child?"

Ms. Zhou panicked: "My child has fainted, what should I do..."

Li Mu made a quick decision: "Quick, get him to the hospital first! Our car is outside."

Just as he finished speaking, Old Wang looked around, then at the unconscious child, and after thinking for a moment, he also clutched his chest and began to groan.

The people in the conference room were startled again. Li Mu said, "Quickly take the child to the hospital. I'll handle things here."

"Okay!" None of the people in the room wanted to stay there with the old man who was whining and pretending. Upon hearing this, they quickly ran out with Ms. Zhou and the child.

In an instant, only Li Mu and the old man remained in the room. They looked at the old man, who was groaning and making a show of himself.

Li Mu stood there, his face cold and indifferent, watching his performance quietly.

The old man grumbled for a moment, and seeing that no one paid attention to him, he looked up at Li Mu and said in a pretentious manner, "I'm sick too. It's all because that woman beat me. You have to take me to the hospital. You have to take responsibility."

Li Mu smiled faintly: "Is that so? Please continue your performance. I'll watch from here and see exactly where you've been hurt."

Old Wang was furious. He sat up abruptly, pointed at Li Mu, and said, "You police officers stood by and watched me die! You protected a criminal, let the woman who assaulted me go free, and now no one is taking care of my medical needs! You…"

Li Mu clapped his hands with a smile and said, "Okay, continue... You have a thick skin, you can just spout nonsense. Keep talking, keep performing."

Old Wang was even angrier, pointing at Li Mu for a long time without saying a word.

Li Mu glanced at the time, smiled faintly, and said, "Alright, I don't have time to waste with you. Go play by yourself."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Seeing that Li Mu had really left, Old Wang looked at the empty room and lost all interest in performing. He took out a small bottle of wine from his shirt pocket, took a sip, and leaned against the wall with his head down, wondering what to do next.

Should we continue with the staged accidents? Or take a break for a couple of days?

Li Mu left, and Old Wang drank a few sips of wine in the bus company's conference room, but no one paid him any attention.

I sighed and went outside, just in time to see a police car with sirens blaring, heading towards the hospital in the distance. The thought of my illness still being unresolved made me even more depressed.

He finally managed to stage an accident, but ended up getting a lecture from the police. Looking back, he was actually intimidated and regrets it now. At his age, if he just lay on the ground, which policeman would dare to mess with him or lay a hand on him?

What a blunder! What a blunder!

He wanted to follow her to the hospital and make her take responsibility, but he didn't even have the money for a taxi.

After thinking for a moment, just as he saw two bus station staff members walking over, Old Wang rolled his eyes, clutched his chest, and lay down on the ground in front of the two of them.

The two were startled.

"Grandpa, what's wrong?"

"Grandpa, what's wrong?"

"Quickly call 120 and call an ambulance!"

More than ten minutes later, an ambulance arrived and took Old Wang to the nearest hospital.

Li Mu drove straight to the hospital's emergency room. As soon as the car door opened, Ms. Zhou ran out of the car with her child in her arms and rushed into the emergency room: "Doctor, doctor, save my child!"

Li Mu quickly followed, supporting her while comforting her, "Don't panic, the child is probably just frightened, he'll be alright."

The child was finally taken in by the doctor and taken to the adjacent infant and toddler examination room. Watching the woman's anxious back, Li Mu sighed, "What a mess!"

As he was reminiscing, an ambulance pulled up. As soon as it stopped, several nurses rushed out, pushed the gurney, and lifted Old Man Wang out of the ambulance and into the emergency room.

Zhao Jiwei turned his head and saw it was Old Man Wang. He was startled and exclaimed, "Brother Li, look, why is this old man here too?"

Li Mu turned his head and looked over, also somewhat speechless. This old man Wang was really persistent, actually following him here.

Old Wang had obviously spotted Li Mu and Zhao Jiwei, but unfortunately, he hadn't seen the woman with whom he had the altercation. As a patient, with so many doctors and nurses around, Old Wang had become bolder.

He immediately confronted Li Mu and Zhao Jiwei, saying, "Where is that woman? Tell her to pay for my medical treatment! She beat me up."

A young nurse was startled to see the old man, who had been unable to move, sit up. She instinctively advised, "Sir, you're sick, so please don't say too much!"

Realizing he was a patient, Old Wang immediately clutched his chest, panting heavily: "She injured me... I want her to pay me back, I want her to treat my illness..."

Zhao Jiwei angrily said, "Brother Li, this old man is obviously faking it."

Li Mu said, "Ignore him. His business with Ms. Zhou is over. Both parties have signed the papers. It's fine now."

After watching Old Man Wang enter the emergency room, Zhao Jiwei suddenly said, "Brother Li, why don't I go and find out about Old Man Wang's condition!"

Li Mu thought for a moment and said, "Go!"

Zhao Jiwei said, "Okay!" and turned to follow.

After a long while, Zhao Jiwei rushed over in a panic.

"Brother Li, Old Man Wang is really sick!"

Li Mu asked, "Oh! What illness?"

Zhao Jiwei said, "In the late stage of cirrhosis, the best treatment is a liver transplant, but it costs a lot of money and requires a liver donor."

"I didn't expect this old man to be so pitiful."

Li Mu smiled and said, "Is he pitiful? He brought this upon himself by living such a miserable life that everyone hates him."

Zhao Jiwei nodded: "That's true. There's always a reason why someone is pitiful. This old man deserves it."

As the two were talking, a man came running up in a panic, shouting, "Zhou Yuan, where is Zhou Yuan?"

Li Mu said, "You must be Ms. Zhou's husband, Mr. Wei. Your wife and child are inside."

Ms. Zhou also heard her husband's voice. She ran out of the emergency room and, upon seeing Mr. Wei, threw herself into his arms and burst into tears.

Mr. Wei held her in his arms: "What's wrong? How's the baby? Who bullied you?"

Ms. Zhou cried and said, "An old man bullied me, and my baby had a seizure from the fright!"

Mr. Wei asked anxiously, "Oh! Where's the baby?"

Ms. Zhou sobbed, "The doctor just gave him an injection, and he's asleep now." After saying that, she led Mr. Wei into the emergency room.

Watching Mr. Wei's retreating figure, Zhao Jiwei whispered, "Brother Li, do you think Mr. Wei might cause trouble for Old Man Wang if he gets angry?"

Li Mu said, "If your wife and children are bullied, you'll definitely want to vent your anger. However, it's better not to vent it. Given Old Wang's current situation, he's worried about not having money for medical treatment! Whoever makes a move will get hurt."

"If you can persuade them, then try your best to persuade them!"

As the two were talking, the emergency room door opened, and Mr. Wei rushed out, with Ms. Zhou chasing after him: "Honey, where are you going? That man is a lecherous old man..."

Li Mu stepped forward and stopped the man, saying, "Mr. Wei, calm down."

Mr. Wei roared, "Don't stop me! Don't stop me! I don't believe there's no law!"

Li Mu said, "Mr. Wei, don't be impulsive. Tell us what you have to say first."

Mr. Wei's eyes were red: "Officers, you must give us justice. How can you forgive that old bastard for scaring my child like this? Why haven't you taken any action against him yet?"

Li Mu said, "Mr. Wei, it's not that we don't want to take measures against him, but the situation is a bit complicated. Would you like me to say a few words?"

Mr. Wei suppressed his anger and nodded: "Alright, go ahead!"

Li Mu said, "Firstly, Old Wang is not young, he is over seventy years old. According to national laws, people over seventy years old are exempt from administrative detention, so there is nothing we can do about it."

"Furthermore, Mr. Wei, according to the information we just received, Old Man Wang is already in the late stage of cirrhosis. Due to his character issues, his children have long since severed ties with him, and now no one cares about him at all."

“His actions toward Ms. Zhou and your child can actually be seen as a form of extortion. He’s trying to extort money from people who don’t want to pay for his medical treatment.”

"His current situation is a kind of retribution. I think it's best if you two don't meet. He's currently trying to extort money from people to pay for his medical treatment. If you touch him, you might actually get scammed."

Li Mu's words were like a bucket of cold water poured over Mr. Wei's head. Faced with an old man suffering from a terminal illness, all alone, and trying to extort money from people for medical treatment, Mr. Wei's mind instantly cleared.

"Forget it, you're right, let's not bother with this kind of person."

While Li Mu and Zhao Jiwei were dealing with this police incident, Cao Jianjun and Yang Shu also responded to another call, handling a different incident.

Xiaoxinzhuang is located in the urban-rural fringe area, with newly built residential areas along the roadside, as well as unrenovated urban villages.

When Cao Jianjun and Yang Shu arrived at the scene, they saw a crowd gathered in front of them, filled with noise and arguments, and a large group of people watching the spectacle.
