Zhou Cheng is in trouble.

Cheng Wei was still making excuses, still trying to justify her actions.

"The reason we did that yesterday was indeed arranged by that Pharmaceutical Company, but they also promised us that they would still buy the prescription from Yang Jian at a high market price."

"Yang Jian's prescription is so effective; why can't it be sold to that company?"

"As long as he sells it, the Pharmaceutical Company can immediately start mass production and save more people. At the same time, they would give Yang Jian a lot of money, and they would give us a sum of money too."

"I spent too much money to treat my daughter's illness. I took out loans, and my house was mortgaged. I had no choice; I had to do it."

Cheng Wei spoke word by word, and by the end, she began to cry aggrievedly.

She had found an excellent reason for herself.

"I really couldn't hold on anymore. Do you know? My husband passed away long ago, and she's my only daughter. I have no money, no one to rely on, so I had to do this..."

"I also know that doing this is too heartless, but do you know the feeling of receiving debt collection calls every month? I needed this money so much..."

"I know I let Yang Jian down, and I know what I did yesterday was truly wrong. I repaid kindness with enmity; I deserve to die, but I had no choice..."

Tears fell uncontrollably from Cheng Wei's eyes; these words were the most genuine expression of her heart.

Listening to Cheng Wei's words, Zhou Cheng's expression remained unchanged.

This was the reality for ordinary families; once a serious illness struck, they could fall into poverty instantly, and the entire family could collapse in a moment.

However, this was not a reason for them to coerce Yang Jian together.

Yang Jian had been good enough to them. He knew the price of using that special ability, yet under the pleas of his neighbors, he sacrificed himself—even his own life—to use his special ability to save them!

And they? They were like cold-blooded blades, stabbing ruthlessly into Yang Jian's chest!

Yang Jian treated them as his closest neighbors and family, but after receiving his help, they became the biggest culprits in pressuring him and driving him to his death!

No wonder Yang Jian didn't even have the desire to live anymore; perhaps for him, his heart had long since died.

"You say you had no choice, but does that justify pressuring Yang Jian and repaying kindness with enmity? You should think about it: without Yang Jian, your daughter's illness would still be untreatable, and your situation would definitely be even worse than it is now!"

The speaker was Zhao Yier.

Zhou Cheng was a bit surprised to hear this and glanced sideways at Zhao Yier.

He hadn't expected this love-brained girl to actually make progress; she even knew how to see through the moral kidnapping in Cheng Wei's words.

"I know, I know all of this, and I know Yang Jian is a good person!"

"He's a good person? Does being a good person mean he should be pressured by you, should always selflessly give to you, and be exploited by you?" Zhou Cheng said sharply.

What annoyed him most was seeing people take advantage of someone's kindness and easy-going nature to perform moral kidnapping and exploitation!

"Now that all the evidence is complete, Cheng Wei, for intentional injury, intentional damage to property, and picking quarrels and provoking trouble, you are now officially under criminal detention," Zhou Cheng said indifferently.

One's own misery is not a reason to morally kidnap others. Just because you are weak doesn't mean you are right; it simply doesn't work that way.

Hearing Zhou Cheng's words, Cheng Wei completely panicked and cried out.

"I know I was wrong! My daughter is still waiting for me to go back and take care of her!"

"Call your parents to take care of her for a while. Considering you were an accomplice exploited by the Pharmaceutical Company, and Yang Jian doesn't intend to press charges for the shop trashing and the assault, you should be out in a few months!" Zhao Yier said indignantly.

After recording all the interrogation notes and completing all the procedures.

Zhou Cheng took Zhao Yier back to his desk.

After sitting down, he immediately opened the System to check the rewards!

[Host suppressed Cheng Wei. Reward: police force value +1,000]

[Host uncovered the truth and cleared Yang Jian's name. Reward: Yang Jian's 100% loyalty to the Host, Hua Tuo Needle Technique!]

[Hua Tuo Needle Technique: Legend has it that this is a medical needle technique left behind by Guiguzi. After use, you will master all the needle techniques in that medical book!]

Zhou Cheng already knew about the reward for Yang Jian's loyalty, so he wasn't surprised.

What surprised Zhou Cheng the most was the Hua Tuo Needle Technique that followed.

He hadn't expected there would be such a reward.

Was this Hua Tuo Needle Technique left by Hua Tuo? Or was it something a protagonist in some novel knew, and because the technique was extremely powerful in that novel, the System extracted it and rewarded it to him?

Zhou Cheng pondered, but didn't think too much about it; he would claim the reward first.

After confirming the claim.

In just an instant, a surge of energy from the System merged into his mind, and immediately, a vast amount of knowledge and ability regarding Traditional Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture appeared in Zhou Cheng's mind.

Countless experiences in Acupuncture instantly made Zhou Cheng a top Acupuncture Great Master.

This improvement filled Zhou Cheng's heart with joy. If he encountered a Medical Saint protagonist in the future, he should be able to compete with him in Acupuncture!

Even if he didn't encounter one, it was good to be prepared.

These 30,000 police force value points were truly well spent.

Zhao Yier sat beside Zhou Cheng. Seeing that he wasn't speaking, she didn't disturb him.

After a while, Deputy Director Lu rushed over.

He hurriedly called Zhou Cheng into the office.

"Zhou Cheng, there's trouble. Yesterday's incident has been leaked online again."

Deputy Director Lu looked full of worry.

In the internet age, everyone has a mobile phone and can film videos. Therefore, the police generally need to be careful when handling cases and must strictly enforce the law.

Otherwise, with the slightest carelessness, they could be complained about, reported, or even cursed at.

Sure enough, Zhou Cheng's law enforcement process yesterday was filmed again.

"Director Lu, there were many onlookers yesterday. It's normal for it to be leaked online, and I didn't violate any regulations," Zhou Cheng said.

Hearing this, Deputy Director Lu also knew that a few words wouldn't explain it clearly.

So he directly took out his phone, found the relevant video, and let Zhou Cheng see for himself.

Seeing this, Zhou Cheng didn't waste any more words. He took Deputy Director Lu's phone and began watching the video.

Then his brows furrowed, and he sighed inwardly. Why did someone always want to challenge his level of persistence?

The content of the video was exactly when he called He Yubing yesterday to have her call the TV station to complain and fire the reporter!

He had already forgiven her after complaining and getting her fired.

So why was she still holding a grudge?

Moreover, as long as she knew she was fired by the TV station, she would soon be able to find out his identity.

And now that she knew his identity, she still wanted to stir up this public opinion mess.

Did she think she was in the right, or did she think she had the ability to compete with a powerful family like his?
