"Finally, he simply pretended to be sick and fainted, then tried to extort money from them."

"These past two days, in order to get money, they've been blocking people's doors and throwing paint at their homes, making their lives miserable."

"Tell me, is it possible to expect someone who extorts money from others to keep their word and pay for your treatment?"

Old Wang was dumbfounded.

"Officer... Officer... You must help me! I was beaten by their whole family. Look at my injuries, they haven't healed yet."

"The settlement was reached through you police officers. If they go back on their word, you can arrest them, detain them, and see if they will pay up."

Li Mu said, "Uncle Wang, when we police handle cases, we need to rely on evidence and abide by the law. We can't arrest people without reason."

Old Wang said unwillingly, "How can this be considered unjustified! The Sun family promised to cover my medical expenses, but they broke their promise, so we must arrest them."

Li Mu smiled and said, "Uncle Wang, you often deal with the police. Do you think we would arrest someone because of this?"

Old Wang frowned, looking a little disappointed. As someone who had been to prison several times and was an expert at staged accidents, he often dealt with the police and knew a bit about the law.

In this situation, which falls under the category of civil disputes, the police can only mediate, not arrest people.

"But what if they keep refusing to pay?"

Li Mu said, "If they continue to refuse to pay, we will have no choice but to stop the treatment, as the nurse suggested."

A flicker of fear crossed Old Wang's eyes as he said nervously, "Officer, besides the superficial injuries I suffered from, I also have late-stage cirrhosis of the liver. If I don't get treatment, I'll die!"

"I can't leave this untreated! Otherwise, I'll lose my life. Officer, you must make sure the Sun family continues to take responsibility!"

Li Mu sighed and said, "You've seen the situation now, and you know what the Sun family is like. They're not afraid of the police at all."

"Do you think you can get them to continue being responsible just by having the police intervene? That's unlikely."

Old Wang was completely at a loss: "Officer, what should we do?"

Li Mu said, "Based on our experience, it's best for you, the person directly involved, to handle this kind of matter. The Sun family is not to be trifled with, but do you think you are?"

Old Man Sun hesitated and said, "But the Sun family is fierce! They'll attack without warning. What if they hit me if I intervene?"

Li Mu said, "If they dare to lay a hand on someone, we can arrest them directly; if they dare to use excessive force, it's a criminal offense, and we can arrest them directly."

"The severity of their punishment will depend entirely on whether you agree to a settlement. Medical expenses are not a problem."

Old Wang thought about it and realized that made sense. However, having just been beaten, he really didn't want to go back and invite another beating.

After hesitating for a moment, he asked again, "Officer, are there any other options?"

Li Mu said, "Yes!"

Old Wang's eyes lit up: "What method?"

Li Mu asked, "Do you own any property or have any savings? Or anything of value?"

Old Sun shook his head.

Li Mu said, "If you own a house or other assets, you can sell them to pay for the treatment. That's another way."

"Unfortunately, as far as we know, you have no assets under your name, a son who has long since severed ties with you, and a wife who was frequently subjected to domestic violence by you and has long since divorced you through the courts."

“You have nothing now except for your illness. Apart from the Sun family who beat you up, no one is responsible for your health or paying your medical bills.”

"You know your current condition, it's late-stage cirrhosis, you can't wait much longer."

"You only have two choices: let the Sun family take responsibility, or enjoy your last moments."

Old Wang lowered his head and clenched his fists. Even ants try to survive, and he didn't want to die. He wanted to seize every glimmer of hope.

In this situation, relying on the police to demand medical expenses is no longer an option. As someone like him, he knew how difficult the Sun family was to deal with.

But no matter how difficult he was to deal with, nothing was more important than his own life. Old Wang was also a master at staging accidents and swindling people, and to save his life, he was willing to risk being beaten rather than back down.

He sighed softly and made a decision.

On Li Mu's side, seemingly casually, he began to discuss with Zhao Jiwei the locations of the Sun family's several businesses.

"Jiwei, is the Sun family's auto repair shop located in...?"

"Is the restaurant owned by the Sun family located in...?"

……

They asked and answered questions, discussed for a while, then looked at Old Man Wang before leaving.

……

The next day at noon, Li Mu received a call from the hospital informing him that Old Wang was missing. He and Zhao Jiwei rushed to the hospital and checked the security footage; Old Wang had been gone for two or three hours.

Fortunately, the nurse who was making rounds remembered Old Wang quite well, otherwise we still wouldn't know he was missing!

Li Mu roughly guessed where Old Wang had gone, but he wasn't in a hurry. After checking the surveillance footage and asking the nurses some questions, he was about to head back to the station when he received a call from the station chief.

"Li Mu, are you in the hospital right now?"

Li Mu said, "Yes! The hospital just told me that Old Man Wang is missing. I came to check on him and was just about to go back to the station to think of a solution."

Wang Shouyi sighed: "No need, we've already found Old Man Wang."

Li Mu asked, "Where?"

Wang Shouyi sighed and said, "The Sun family's auto repair shop? They're going to charge hospital fees!"

Li Mu asked, "Did the Sun family give it to you?"

Wang Shouyi said with a wry smile, "How could we possibly give it to him? Not only did we refuse, but a serious conflict broke out between us. Grandpa Wang was beaten, and his condition is very serious; he's already unconscious!"

Li Mu asked, "Are you really unconscious? Or are you faking it?" It's no wonder he asked that; both Old Man Wang and Old Man Sun were experts at faking unconsciousness.

Wang Shouyi was both amused and exasperated: "Really, we can't pretend this time. The Sun family doesn't know their own strength; they've really hurt someone."

Li Mu said, "Chief, I just got out of the hospital. Should I go over there?"

Wang Shouyi said, "Don't come. We just called 120 and got an ambulance. Old Wang's condition is a bit dangerous. He needs to be taken to the hospital for emergency treatment. Just wait there."

Li Mu said, "Yes, Chief!"

Then, he asked curiously, "Chief, Old Wang was beaten so badly, it's already a criminal offense, right? What about the Sun family? Have they arrested anyone?"

Wang Shouyi said, "When we arrived at the scene, we caught one person on the spot. The rest had escaped beforehand, and we are currently organizing a manhunt for them."

Li Mu said, "Then, could we take this opportunity to cooperate with the Majiagou Police Station to take down the Sun family and completely eradicate this cancerous group?"

Wang Shouyi thought for a moment and said, "Is this a good idea? The Majiagou Police Station has been wanting to deal with them for a long time, but they just haven't found the opportunity. This time we're putting the opportunity right in front of us, I don't believe they won't be tempted."

The two chatted for a few more minutes before Wang Shouyi, eager to communicate with the Majiagou Police Station and report to the bureau, quickly hung up the phone.

A dozen minutes later, as an ambulance drove into the hospital, Li Mu saw Old Man Wang, who was on the verge of death, covered in blood, and unconscious.

After being rescued, he finally recovered and was then sent to the intensive care unit. Li Mu could tell that Old Man Wang was really in danger this time!

Although he felt that Old Wang deserved it, he actually hoped that the other party wouldn't get into trouble because of this incident.

Chapter 370 Wang Family

Over the next two days, Li Mu participated in the arrest of the Sun family members involved in the case. Simultaneously, in cooperation with the Majiagou Police Station, he used this as a breakthrough to conduct a comprehensive investigation and gather evidence regarding the Sun family's bullying and monopolistic practices, as well as their involvement in organized crime.

A total of eight people were arrested, including members of the Sun family and others involved in the case. The Sun family, a notorious local tyrant, collapsed in an instant.

Fortunately, the second daughter of the Sun family was not involved in the case and escaped unscathed.

However, with so many people arrested, the Sun family has already fallen. Having offended so many people in the past, they are now living cautiously, fearing retaliation. They are no longer as arrogant as before.

In an effort to mitigate the Sun family's charges, the second daughter of the Sun family began actively apologizing and offering compensation to the victims of past conflicts with the Sun family.

Although they hated Old Man Wang, who caused the downfall of the Sun family, to the core, he had already been beaten to the point of being critically ill and was in the intensive care unit.

In order to mitigate the crime committed by the Sun family members who assaulted her, she had to actively pay medical expenses and actively negotiate compensation.

On the other hand, given Liu Qiang's family of three, they had no intention of extorting money through staged accidents; otherwise, it would just be another crime being leveled against the Sun family.

Instead of trying to extort money, Sun's second daughter contacted Liu Qiang's family through the police station.

The next day, he invited Liu Qiang and his family of three to the police station, bowed and apologized to them in front of many police officers, and paid them 3,000 yuan in medical expenses and compensation for mental distress.

Liu Qiang stared in disbelief at the scene before him, finally able to let out the breath he had been holding back, and excitedly hugged his wife.

The family left the police station happily and went to a nearby restaurant for a big meal to celebrate. Not long after they got home, they noticed some noise outside the door.

The wife came out of the kitchen, and the two looked at each other with a puzzled expression. They had lived here for several years, and apart from the Sun family last time, no one had caused any trouble.

Liu's wife asked in a low voice, "It can't be them again, can it? Didn't they just apologize?"

Liu Qiang was also full of doubts, but once bitten, twice shy. Without saying a word, he rushed into the bathroom, grabbed a mop, and snorted, "Dare! If they dare to cause trouble again, I'll fight them to the death."

Liu's wife lowered her voice: "Don't be impulsive, check the surveillance footage."

Liu Qiang calmed down and remembered that he had just installed a security camera in front of his door a few days ago, following the police's advice. He carefully walked to the door and pressed the switch to turn on the security camera.

The two looked out the door from the monitor and saw the second daughter of the Sun family with two other people, holding brushes, painting the wall white, covering up all the previous red writing on the wall.

The two of them breathed a sigh of relief.

Liu's wife whispered, "Are they painting the walls?"

Liu Qiang said, "It seems their apology was sincere. The police really know how to handle people like this; they've taken care of them."

The two looked at each other and smiled, their hearts filled with joy!
