Chapter 1187: A Major Case



As soon as these elderly people made a move, the other hesitant seniors couldn't sit still anymore, quickly losing their ability to think and starting to frantically grab for their wallets.

"I, I, I want two bottles! Give me two bottles first!"

"I need some here too, give me three bottles, my son will eat with me."

...

The scene quickly became chaotic as the seniors began to push their way forward, scrambling to shove money at the young man.

Seeing the situation getting out of hand, Chen Yang hurriedly pulled Wang Qingyue away from the center of the commotion.

Otherwise, they'd end up squeezed into who knows what shape by the frenzied crowd.

"This... this is just too outrageous, isn't it? They actually believed it? I saw that so-called product, it's just simple calcium tablets, how did it become some cure-all miracle drug?" Wang Qingyue came out running, utterly surprised.

Truly baffled, how could such a simple scam succeed?

And those elderly folks kept handing over money, as if they'd stumbled upon some tremendous fortune.

Wang Qingyue had never seen anything like it, but Chen Yang was used to it.

After all, such scenes are not uncommon in life, even if you haven't seen them, you've definitely heard of them.

"For us, these tricks are obviously simple, but for the elderly, who've never seen them before, being deceived is quite normal." Chen Yang chuckled and explained, then took Wang Qingyue's hand: "Alright, let's go, it's getting late, we'll stop by the market and make something nice for dinner."

Wang Qingyue nodded at first, then hesitated and said, "But, Chen Yang, aren't you going to do something about it?"

Chen Yang paused at her words, then laughed: "There's really nothing to be done, just a few hundred yuan, let it go, think of it as buying a lesson."

With that, Chen Yang took Wu Kexin and got into the minivan, leaving the park behind.

It wasn't that Chen Yang didn't want to intervene, but it wasn't feasible.

Because those elderly people were so worked up, if he suddenly stood up and declared it fake, not only would they not listen, they might even attack him.

It just wasn't worth it.

Besides, it's just a few hundred yuan, if they want to buy, let them buy.

Think of it as buying a lesson, to avoid falling for the same trick again.

After leaving the park, Chen Yang and Wang Qingyue went to the county's vegetable market.

Purchasing fresh produce, they headed back to Liuhua Village.

By the time they returned, the sun had set, and villagers coming off work were all going back to their homes to start preparing dinner.

Chen Yang did the same.

With Wang Qingyue at his side, he brought the groceries home and went to the kitchen to make dinner.

Meanwhile, Wang Qingyue lay in the backyard, resting.

Once Chen Yang finished cooking, they enjoyed the meal together happily.

After a short rest, Wang Qingyue pulled Chen Yang to the backyard.

"Chen Yang, you better not go easy on me later, you have to let me see what level I'm at now." Wang Qingyue stood opposite Chen Yang, speaking seriously.

She was worried that Chen Yang might deliberately let her win.

Truthfully, Chen Yang had intended to make her happy, but hearing her insist, he had no choice but to take it seriously as well.

"Alright, I'll treat it seriously and won't go easy." Chen Yang grinned and nodded.

"Okay! Here I come!"

Wang Qingyue also smiled, then clenched her fists, ready to attack Chen Yang.

Ding ding ding...

Just then, the sudden ringing of the phone disrupted the atmosphere.

"Hold on a second, let me take this call."

Sensing the vibration in his pocket, Chen Yang quickly raised his hand to stop Wang Qingyue from making a move, intending to answer his phone first.

Stopping Wang Qingyue, Chen Yang immediately took the phone out of his bag.

It turned out it was Li Lao calling.

"Could it be something has happened with Xiao Cui?"

Chen Yang thought to himself before decisively answering the call.

"Chen Yang, where are you right now? I have an urgent matter to discuss." As soon as the call connected, Li Lao's anxious voice came through.

"What is it, Li Lao? I'm in Liuhua Village right now, what's happened?" Chen Yang detected Li Lao's urgency and quickly asked for the details.

"Here's the situation, the county center hospital just called, saying they suddenly received over a hundred patients."

"All the patients have exactly the same symptoms, the situation is critical, they want me to come help, and I thought of you because you have experience with this kind of large-scale treatment, so I wanted you to come help."

Li Lao didn't hold back and directly shared the situation with Chen Yang.

After hearing everything, Chen Yang immediately responded, "Got it, Li Lao, I'll head over right away."

"Okay, I'll wait for you at the hospital, stay safe on your way." Li Lao said and then hung up the call.

"Qingyue, there's an incident in town, I need to go over immediately." Once the call ended, Chen Yang quickly looked up and told Wang Qingyue.

Hearing the urgency in Chen Yang's tone earlier, Wang Qingyue understood the gravity and didn't press for details, instead just saying, "Alright, I'll go with you then."

While Chen Yang had initially planned to go alone, leaving Wang Qingyue home alone didn't seem right.

So he nodded in agreement.

"Alright, let's go together then."

Chen Yang nodded, and with that, he and Wang Qingyue promptly took the minivan and set off.

In half an hour, they arrived at the hospital, meeting with Li Lao and the patients.

The whole hall was filled with temporary beds.

All the beds occupied by patients, each with different clothes and expressions.

Yet their physical reaction was strangely identical, all in a state of unconsciousness, with the occasional one or two waking only to vomit then pass out again.

"Uncle Li, what's the situation with these patients? How did such a large-scale incident happen all of a sudden?" Chen Yang swept his gaze over the scene, finally stopping on Li Lao.

"I'm not entirely sure about the specifics either, I just got here. Let Officer Tan fill you in." Li Lao admitted his lack of knowledge, and introduced the beautiful female officer behind him to Chen Yang.

Even wearing a uniform and mask, it was clear she was a beauty, and a stunning one at that.

But at this moment, Chen Yang had no mind for such things.

After a brief polite exchange and introductions, Chen Yang immediately inquired about the specifics of the situation.

Tan Jing then relayed the general situation to Chen Yang.

"Here's the thing, Mr. Chen, all these patients are from the southern part of the city, and our current guess is poisoning, since all the patients did indeed visit the same place this afternoon."

"The same place? Where might that be?" Chen Yang grasped the crucial point.

"It was the South Forest Park, all the patients were there for recreation." Tan Jing replied.

South Forest Park?

Hearing this, Chen Yang exchanged a glance with Wang Qingyue.

The park they strolled through this afternoon was the South Forest Park!

What a coincidence.
