In name only: The land of Handong, I shall rule its fate.

"This…"

Su Manjun was momentarily stunned, but she still managed to calm herself down and said, "This is indeed the first time I've taken care of Mr. Li, but his situation is special. He lives alone, his son has absconded, he is seriously ill, and he doesn't even have a relative to take care of him. Isn't that reasonable?"

"And it doesn't affect my work. In recent years, my family's company has been managed by a professional manager."

Han Shiwei remained expressionless, simply taking a document from the folder and reading it aloud:

"Three years ago, a family of three also died in a car accident, with only the woman surviving. There were no close relatives on either side. Comrade Ping An paid for a caregiver out of his own pocket and took care of her until she was discharged from the hospital."

"Two years ago, a girl from out of town who came to Diaozhou to work was retaliated against by her ex-boyfriend and seriously injured. Her parents were unwilling to come and take care of her or even bring her back due to conflicts. Comrade Ping An hired a caregiver to take care of her long-term. After she was discharged from the hospital, he even arranged housing for her, kept the caregiver employed, and hired a nanny."

"Two years ago, a divorced single mother with a child had a violent conflict with her daughter. The daughter drowned herself in the river, and the mother suffered a mental breakdown. She was so bad that she resorted to self-harm and self-destruction. Ordinary psychological and drug treatments were ineffective. Comrade Ping An personally used his family connections to invite top foreign psychotherapists and medications. In addition, with the addition of caregivers and nannies, the total cost was more than two million."

"Comrade Ping An served as a criminal police officer for 25 years, and for 25 years he performed the glorious deeds of helping suffering people. He never stopped and never gave up."

"I'm only referring to the women who were rescued within the last three years; Comrade Ping An never arranged for you to personally take care of them."

"But doesn't it seem strange that Comrade Ping An would arrange for his wife to take care of a strange man, especially one with such troublesome digestive tract cancer?"

"and…"

"To be frank, you probably don't do much of the household chores on a regular basis, and your level of professionalism is far inferior to that of a caregiver. Why do you still do it?"

Han Shiwei asked the question calmly.

But a vague yet bold guess in my heart was quietly taking shape step by step.

"I…"

Su Manjun was speechless. She was extremely reluctant to take care of a male patient with digestive tract cancer, especially an elderly one, but she couldn't resist her husband's pleas.

In the end, I agreed without really understanding what was going on.

"Perhaps...it might be because the company's revenue hasn't been very good in the last two years."

Su Manjun considered all sorts of possibilities.

"If you don't know something, you can say you don't know it."

Han Shiwei reminded him.

Su Manjun clasped her hands tightly together and responded softly.

"so…"

Han Shiwei's gaze fell on the person opposite him. His words were clear and logical, without any deception, exaggeration, or inducement. "Comrade Manjun, do you understand why we have to suspend Comrade Ping An's mission?"

"No way!"

Su Manjun shook her head. "My husband, Lao Wang, is a good person. He's even been called a 'good old man' because of his kindness."

"I have never doubted Comrade Ping An's original intention and persistence in doing good deeds, but sometimes things are just that strange, and changes can happen in an instant."

Han Shiwei softened his tone and said, word by word, "The starting point for the change in Comrade Cha Ping'an was the Liu San case, and the Liu San case is inextricably linked to Li Tingna."

"Comrade Manjun."

"You've been taking care of Mr. Li for almost a year. Have you noticed anything strange in his daily life?"

"This is important."

"It is very important to Comrade Ping An."

do not know!

Su Manjun shook her head.

Her mind was about to explode. Her perfectly healthy husband had suddenly gotten involved in a case, and she didn't even dare to tell their parents or children. She was struggling to hold on.

Hey!

Han Shiwei lowered his eyes and sighed inwardly. Su Manjun was not suitable for conversation in this state, and whether out of public interest or personal motives, he did not intend to continue.

"etc!"

Su Manjun suddenly spoke up, asking, "Does that include the medical expenses?"

"Medical expenses?"

Han Shiwei sat back down.

"Mr. Li's medical expenses."

Su Manjun confirmed, "His son, Li Ting, only actually paid the first installment of medical expenses. The money he spent on subsequent purchases, whether it was for buying a house or taking out loans, was deposited into the hospital one minute and then he would say he didn't want treatment anymore and wanted to withdraw it."

"After receiving the money."

"His son didn't even care about the old man; he just left the hospital."

"That day, Lao Wang happened to be with me and both sets of parents at the hospital for a check-up, and he paid for it himself."

"Otherwise, the old man might have passed away long ago because he couldn't get treatment."

What!

Han Shiwei was startled and hurriedly flipped through the files Li Ting had taken. "Was the second expense in February of last year paid by Comrade Ping An?"

"right."

Su Manjun nodded.

In other words, after Li Xuemin was diagnosed at the beginning of the year, Li Tingna paid the first payment for treatment and then ran away. The money from selling the house and borrowing money in February all went into Li Tingna's personal pocket.

but…

Liu San acted as a loan guarantor for Li Ting in May, and committed the heinous crime in June after experiencing an emotional breakdown.

He got it!

I finally understand!

Why is Wang Ping'an so fixated on the Liu San case, and why is he convinced there's more to it than meets the eye?

His act of kindness became the foundation for Li Ting to use medical expenses to fraudulently obtain loans, leading to Liu San's indiscriminate retaliation.

If it weren't for that advance payment...

Li Ting wouldn't have received Liu San's guarantee, nor would he have gotten the 10 yuan. Liu San wouldn't have faced a series of tragedies, nor would those truly innocent victims.

Wang Ping'an investigates cases to atone for his sins.

but…

Why did Li Tingna die?

Bringing them to justice is the best way to atone for their sins.

"Han Ting, and Old Wang and the old gentleman..."

Han Shiwei raised his hand to stop Su Manjun from saying what she was about to say, "I guessed that, there's no need to say it now."

"Go home and rest now."

"Don't be anxious."

"If the elderly in your family hear the news, please comfort them. We will send someone from the hospital to take care of them."

"Don't worry!"

Su Manjun hesitated, but ultimately sighed and swallowed all the words she wanted to say.

and many more!

The same words rang out again, but this time it was Han Shiwei who spoke.

Su Manjun stopped at the door.

He turned around in confusion.

"If I remember correctly, both of your companies are members of the Ling Chamber of Commerce, right?"

Han Shiwei confirmed.

"right!"

Su Manjun nodded, "My husband's family owns a garment factory, and my family mainly deals in clothing distribution. The market has been getting worse and worse in the past two years. In order to change the company's situation, at the suggestion of the professional manager, we both joined the Ling Chamber of Commerce last year."

"The Ling Chamber of Commerce is just a chamber of commerce; it's not as miraculous as the rumors suggest. Sales are still declining."

"Instead, you have to pay 200,000 yuan in membership fees every year, and all you get is a title and nothing else."

"Some long-time members said it wasn't enough of a token of their appreciation. It's ridiculous that a mutual aid chamber of commerce is talking about tokens of appreciation."

Su Manjun is gone.

But the sound lingered in the waiting room for a long time.
