Anti-gang campaign: Female bureau chief

The head of security provided Lu Zheng with some crucial videos, one of which showed the white van deliberately cutting off a legitimate ambulance in a very arrogant manner.

Zhao Rui also learned that Shao Kui and his gang not only stole jobs, but also established "rules".

They divided each "stationed" hospital into zones, assigning specific responsibilities such as who was in charge of which building and who was in charge of which gate.

Newcomers must pay a "contribution fee" or they cannot solicit customers within the hospital premises.

These unlicensed ambulances also have connections with unlicensed clinics and nursing homes in surrounding counties and cities, charging extra for long-distance patient transport.

Some family members were charged extra fees on the road, and if they didn't pay, they were forced to stop their cars halfway through the journey.

The worst incident occurred three months ago when an elderly woman who had been discharged from the Chengbei Central Hospital was taken to Shiqiao County in an unlicensed ambulance. When the ambulance reached the highway exit, they demanded an additional 2,000 yuan for "oxygen." When the family refused to pay, they stopped the ambulance on the side of the national highway, leaving the patient and her family there before driving away.

The old lady died that very night.

The family reported the case to the police, but it was treated as a regular dispute.

Jiang Ruolan's face darkened immediately after hearing this.

she says:

"This is no longer just an unlicensed ambulance; this is a murder case."

She instructed Lu Zheng to immediately review all recent police reports and complaints related to "black ambulances," take detailed statements from family members, and find the key witness who "abandoned the patient."

At the same time, Zhao Rui was instructed to investigate Shao Kui's financial chain to see which hospital staff he had financial dealings with.

After more than a week of evidence collection, the task force found that Shao Kui's black ambulance network covered three districts, involving nine vehicles and seventeen people. For a long time, they used methods such as beatings, threats, and provoking trouble to squeeze out regular ambulances and their counterparts at the gates of major hospitals in the north, east, and south of the city, forcibly taking over patient transfer business and illegally profiting more than 500,000 yuan.

He had a relationship of exchanging favors with two cleaners at Chengdong Hospital and a security guard at Chengbei Central Hospital, who provided him with discharge information and access to internal channels.

The three moles were apprehended one after another.

Shao Kui himself was also intercepted by the police one night when he went to a hospital in the south of the city to "collect money."

When Lu Zheng and Zhao Rui led their men to block him at the back door of the hospital, he was stuffing a stack of banknotes into his bag. When he saw the police, he took off running, but Chen Mo tackled him from the side.

Shao Kui rolled on the ground, scraping the back of his head, and kept shouting, "I know your people."

Lu Zheng said:

"You know everyone, but you don't have a life-saving certificate."

Shao Kui remained silent.

At the hospital, Lu Zheng found a family member who had been abandoned by Shao Kui and his men on the way. Her surname was Deng and her name was Deng Yuqin.

Her mother didn't survive that time, and she was left to raise her two children alone, which was a very difficult time for her.

When Lu Zheng and Chen Mo went to see her, she was helping people pick vegetables at a vegetable market in the north of the city.

Upon hearing the purpose of the visit, she wiped her hands on her apron, and her eyes immediately welled up with tears.

she says:

"I really thought it was a hospital ambulance. They were dressed like doctors, and the ambulance even had a blue light. Halfway there, they said they needed to pay for extra oxygen, but I couldn't afford it, so they lifted my mother out of the ambulance and put her on the side of the road. I knelt on the ground and begged them, but no one paid any attention to me."

Chen Mo was taking notes beside him, the pen scratching on the paper.

After Deng Yuqin finished speaking, she lowered her head and wiped her eyes with the back of her hand.

Lu Zheng said:

"Sister Deng, we've come here to demand justice for your mother."

Deng Yuqin nodded and said:

"My mother suffered her whole life, and in the end, she never even got to ride in a decent car. I can't forgive them."

Chen Mo said:

"The law will make them pay the price."

Deng Yuqin looked up at Chen Mo and said:

"Will I ever trust hospital ambulances again?"

Chen Mo said:

"Believe me. Just remember this: official hospital ambulances won't charge you on the street, and no one will be squatting at the entrance asking if you need a ride. If someone offers you a ride, call 110 or 120, and we'll help you."

After Shao Kui's gang was busted, Yi'an launched a city-wide special campaign to rectify the order of medical rescue services.

New surveillance cameras and security barriers have been installed at the entrances of major hospitals, and a joint patrol mechanism has been established between the public security bureau and the hospital security department.

The black vans with "medical transport" signs are no longer seen on the streets.

Lu Zheng said at a debriefing meeting that abandoning patients on the roadside is a violation of basic human decency.

These people weren't unaware that people could die; they just thought that if an elderly person died, no one would really investigate.

Jiang Ruolan said:

"Luckily we chased after them. Otherwise, they might have dared to dump another old man on an even more remote road tomorrow."

Chen Mo wrote Deng Yuqin's mother's name on the first page of a new notebook, and then wrote a line below that page—

"Everyone who is abandoned on the roadside should be found."

After the meeting ended, it was already dark, and the rain started again, pattering against the window.

Lu Zheng stood at the entrance of the building waiting for Chen Mo and said:

"Come on, let's get some noodles. It's on me."

Chen Mo said:

"Okay, make it extra spicy."

Lu Zheng smiled, and the two of them walked into the rain one after the other.

The raindrops shimmered under the streetlights, like scattered silver flakes...

One morning in mid-May, a hot pot restaurant on Wanghu Road in the north of the city was blocked by a black van before it even opened.

The hot pot restaurant owner is named Kang Guangfa. He is in his fifties and always has a white towel draped around his neck. He has been running the restaurant on Wanghu Road for almost twenty years.

He got up early to buy groceries, and when he came back, he saw a car parked across the front of his shop with the four blue characters "Anping Security Guard" printed on it.

Five young men in black training uniforms got out of the car. Each of them had a walkie-talkie on their waist. They lined up in a row at the store entrance, not saying a word, just standing there.

Kang Guangfa got off the tricycle and asked them what they were doing.

The young man in charge took out a crumpled piece of paper and said that their "Anping Security Service Company" had signed a contract with the management of the shops on this street. From now on, they would be responsible for the "order maintenance" of the entire street, and all the shops would have to pay 800 yuan a month for "security service".

Kang Guangfa leaned closer to look at the paper, which was stamped with a seal that read "Wanghu Commercial Street Management Committee," but he had never seen this management committee before.

He said he wouldn't pay.

The leader smiled and said, "Then don't open the door."

After saying that, the five people stood at the door and wouldn't leave, alarming everyone on the street.

When Chen Mo and Zhao Rui arrived at Wanghu Road after receiving reports from the public, the black van had already been moved to the middle of the road, and five security guards were still standing in front of the hot pot restaurant, their hands behind their backs, their eyes fixed straight ahead, like sentries.
