The hospital director, Yu Gao, was equally stunned.
He stared blankly at Qin Mu.
He wasnāt far from Qin Mu, and since Qin Muās voice was resonant and strong, he heard everything very clearly. Therefore, he was even more shocked. He could hardly believe it.
Even he hadnāt expected that the knife-wielding manās medical disturbance could involve so many criminal charges. The reason he hadnāt called the police was to protect the hospitalās reputation and prevent the situation from escalating.
In his conventional thinking, in most cases of medical disturbances, the police would merely mediate and let both parties resolve it themselves. The medical disturbances he had encountered had always been handled this way. He had never encountered an incident where a disturbance could lead to fifteen years in prison.
Is this true, or is it fake?
He swallowed hard and couldnāt help but mutter.
By his side, the attending doctor sneaked a glance at Qin Mu and whispered, "It should be true. That person... I think Iāve seen him before."
"You know him?" Yu Gaoās expression shifted slightly as he asked.
The attending doctor gave a wry smile. "How would I dare to know him? I just saw him in the Jin City news. He seems to be called Qin Mu... The case where three thousand people became defendantsāhe was the one who sued."
He hadnāt been very sure at first. But when Qin Mu rattled off all those legal statutes and their corresponding sentences with such familiarity, he finally realized.
This man... is very much like Qin Mu.
"Qin Mu? Who is that? Is he famous?" Yu Gao frowned and couldnāt help but ask.
"āMore than just famous,ā the attending doctor lowered his voice again, his expression full of nervousness and fear as he spoke cautiously. āIāve heard that those who cross him rarely meet a good end. They all end up in jail.ā"
Upon hearing this, Yu Gao couldnāt help but turn his head to look at Qin Mu.
WEE-OOO WEE-OOOā
Before long, a siren sounded.
Seven or eight police officers forcibly pushed open the hospitalās main door and entered.
When the people who had followed the knife-wielding man to cause a disturbance saw the police officers, their previous arrogance vanished. Each of them suddenly became as meek as a lamb.
Shen Dao stepped forward, scanned the surroundings, and asked, "Who called the police?"
"It was me."
In the crowd, Qin Mu stepped forward and proactively greeted them.
Shen Dao looked at Qin Mu, his lips twitching.
This time, having been notified by the command center, he realized the seriousness of the situation. He had personally led seven or eight police officers over.
Unexpectedly... heād seen a familiar face again.
In the past two months, he had rarely seen Qin Mu. He had thought Qin Mu had washed his hands of legal practice and changed professions.
But now it seemed... he had been too naive.
Qin Mu walked up to Shen Dao, pointed at the knife-wielding man, and said, "Hereās the thing. I was accompanying a friend to the doctor today when we encountered this medical disturbance. This man...
"He blocked the hospitalās main door, preventing anyone from entering or leaving. I had no choice; I needed to get back to work. Seeing that no one else was calling the police, I had to call them myself."
Qin Mu affected an air of earnest helpfulness, looking extremely eager to assist.
He recounted the incident.
After hearing this, Shen Dao was slightly surprised and couldnāt help but look at the knife-wielding man.
The young man with the knife was startled and quickly threw it aside, appearing extremely compliant.
Shen Dao took a deep breath and looked at the medical staff around him.
He spoke in a solemn tone, "Who is in charge here?"
"I, I am the director." Yu Gao hurried forward, acknowledging his role.
"Can we see your hospitalās surveillance footage?" Shen Dao nodded and got straight to the point.
At the same time, he had his men take control of the crowd that was causing the disturbance.
"Yes." Yu Gao swallowed and nodded.
Soon, with the help of the technical staff, Shen Dao watched the complete surveillance video. After watching, he gradually understood the causes and consequences.
Indeed, as Qin Mu had described, it was a case of a medical disturbance involving blocking the door with a knife.
Fortunately... so far, no one had been injured in the disturbance.
"Take them all away."
Afterwards, he waved his hand, signaling his subordinates to take the troublemakers away.
"Wait! Officer, Iām not really going to be in prison for fifteen years, am I?" The young man who had been trying to "assert his rights" kept backing away, asking with a face full of fear.
"Fifteen years?" Shen Dao paused for a moment.
"Yes, that man said so. He said I committed five crimes: creating disturbances, illegal detention, insult, endangering public safety with dangerous methods, and extortion..." The knife-wielding young man pointed at Qin Mu, cold sweat beading on his forehead. His face was filled with terror.
Seeing this, Shen Daoās mouth twitched involuntarily. From the surveillance footage just now, he had indeed seen Qin Mu continuously talking with the knife-wielding man. He had thought Qin Mu was comforting him.
But unexpectedly... Qin Mu had actually been helping the man calculate his prison term!
"Itās plausible youāre suspected of these five crimes. As for the exact sentence, that will need to await the courtās judgment," Shen Dao said earnestly after some thought.
The words had barely left his mouth when the knife-wielding man, along with his accompanying relatives and friends, became terrified.
"Fifteen years? It canāt really be fifteen years, right? We came here to defend our rights!"
"Werenāt we supposed to be advocating for rights? Why are we suddenly facing prison time?"
"It has nothing to do with me! I was just tagging along! I didnāt mean to block the door..."
"Officer, my child was just born, and I have an eighty-year-old mother at home..."
"..."
The faces of the crowd changed dramatically, and they all began desperately pleading for mercy. They had all heard Qin Muās earlier analysis and were profoundly frightened.
