I Carry a Game World With Me

Chapter 286: Chapter 264: This Damnable Operation! Someone Is in for It

Lu Feng looked at the thermal image from his detection watch. Besides the doctor, there were clearly several other people inside—probably assistant doctors or nurses.

But after the little girl was wheeled into the operating room, the doctor made no attempt to save her. From the thermal image, the doctor was already sitting in a chair, playing on his phone.

The nurses were also standing off to the side, chatting.

The little girl didn’t appear on the image. That was because she was already dead, her body growing cold, so the detection watch couldn’t pick up a heat signature.

If the doctor had been incompetent and misjudged the girl as dead, only to push her in and then try his best to save her, there might have been a slim chance for forgiveness.

The current scene proved one thing: the doctor knew the little girl was already dead. Even the assistants knew.

That was why they could act this way.

’But if they knew she was already dead, why go through the whole charade of bringing her to the hospital? What on earth for?’

Before long, the sobbing couple arrived. They had clearly already paid the fees.

Lu Feng was starting to understand. ’Are they just trying to squeeze money out of the couple?’

They were fleecing them even after their child was dead.

At that moment, he fully believed what President Liu had told him.

"Record a video. Get the evidence," Lu Feng said to Black Snake beside him.

"Yes, President Lu," Black Snake nodded.

As if sensing the couple’s arrival, the door to the operating room suddenly opened.

The doctor walked out. His forehead was covered in beads of sweat—he had clearly splashed water on it to make himself look exhausted.

"Doctor, how is our daughter?"

"Please, you have to save our daughter."

The couple immediately started begging.

The doctor sighed, his face a mask of anxiety. "Sir, Ma’am, your daughter’s condition is extremely critical. We’ve done everything we can to revive her, but she still requires a highly complex intracranial surgery. The surgical fees are quite high—you’ll need to prepare four million Xuanfeng Coins."

His words made the parents’ faces grow grim. How were they supposed to come up with four million Xuanfeng Coins on such short notice?

"Prepare the surgical fee as quickly as you can. I’m going back in to continue treating your daughter, but we can’t perform the surgery until the funds are in place. You know the rules. You’d better hurry," the doctor said before returning to the operating room.

The thermal image from the detection watch showed him sitting back down in the chair and starting to play games again.

Lu Feng’s brow furrowed even deeper as he listened to Hadona’s translation.

Four million Xuanfeng Coins.

That was equivalent to 400,000 Dragon Country currency.

’That’s a steep medical bill. The key is, it’s a fee to treat a dead person.’

He had never imagined a hospital could be this corrupt.

"Honey, what do we do? We don’t have that much in savings!"

"We’ll sell the house. That, plus our savings, should be enough."

"But selling a house isn’t that fast."

Just then, a hospital staff member who had accompanied the couple to pay their fees said, "There are ways to raise money quickly just outside the hospital."

Hearing this, the couple latched onto it like a lifeline and hurried off.

Seeing this, Lu Feng also took his men and followed them. Before long, they arrived at a place outside the hospital.

Black Snake went closer to check out the situation, then came back to report, "President Lu, it’s loan sharks. The husband seems to have gone back to get the property deed."

"Hmph." Lu Feng’s frown deepened.

’So the hospital isn’t just making dirty money, they’re also colluding with loan sharks?’

Soon, the husband rushed back, holding a document that must have been the property deed.

"Notify Chen Bo. Tell him to bring his men over," Lu Feng said to Black Snake with a frown.

"Yes, President Lu." Black Snake nodded, immediately taking out his phone to call Chen Bo.

Chen Bo was now the police chief of Wind Capital, so this kind of thing fell under his jurisdiction. Now that President Lu knew about it, someone was about to have a very bad day.

In the Wind Capital police station, Chen Bo was in his office with floor-to-ceiling windows, holding a pen and studying.

He’d never thought that he, a man who used to wield a knife, would one day be wielding a pen.

He was, of course, studying the local Cambodian language of Wind Capital. After all, in his current position, it was important to know a bit of the local tongue.

He’d finally gotten a springboard in life; how could he not work hard?

His phone rang. Seeing it was Black Snake’s number, he answered immediately.

’That lucky bastard Black Snake gets to stay by President Lu’s side now. I have to stay on his good side.’

The call connected, and Black Snake’s voice came through. "Boss Chen, President Lu wants you to bring men to the central hospital. There’s a problem with the medical system. The hospital is illegally charging fees and colluding with loan sharks. President Lu is furious."

"Are those motherfuckers looking to die? I’m heading out with my men right now," Chen Bo said, exploding with anger.

These kinds of incidents in Wind Capital were his responsibility. For this shit to happen right under his nose, wasn’t it a slap in the face to him, a public servant?

As the saying goes, you grow to love the work you do, and he was really starting to love his job. He put on his Xuanfeng Alliance police uniform, left his office, and shouted to a middle-aged man outside, "Captain Lin, gather everyone. We’re heading out."

This Captain Lin was named Lin Chao, a retired criminal police officer from Youcheng. He had even arrested Chen Bo in the past, so they were old acquaintances, in a way.

Having landed his current position in the Xuanfeng Alliance, he knew he needed his own trusted subordinates. More importantly, if he wanted to do a good job, he needed professional help, people he could rely on as confidants.

He had immediately thought of Lin Chao, the man who’d arrested him. The guy happened to be retired, so he could pull him over to put his remaining skills to use. At his age, he could still help him out for a few more years.

Lin Chao looked at the swaggering Chen Bo and felt like he was in another world. It had all started when he’d won a prize from Qingfeng Network Company: a trip for his family to tour the Xuanfeng Alliance.

Since Qingfeng Network Company was sponsoring it and the Xuanfeng Alliance had become quite famous recently, he came.

Who would have thought he’d run into Chen Bo right after getting off the plane?

Of course he knew the guy—just some street punk from Youcheng that he himself had arrested.

But who could have predicted that the punk’s first words would be an offer to hire him as the criminal investigation captain for the Xuanfeng Alliance? He had been completely stunned, wondering if this punk was still dreaming.

And what happened next? After arriving at the Wind Capital police station, he watched this same punk brazenly take the chief’s seat while everyone else addressed him with utmost respect. He thought he must be dreaming.

How else could something so outrageous happen?

It took him a full three days to process it all. Then he learned that Chen Hao had also become the warden of Central Prison No. 1.

That left him utterly shocked.

’What on earth did these punks from Youcheng go through?’

As for now, he had completely come around and accepted the job.

After all, he’d been in this line of work his whole life and wasn’t used to retirement. The key was that the Xuanfeng Alliance paid well. He got a long-term work visa, so not only could he collect his pension back in his home country, but he could also earn a high salary here.

The crucial part was that it was a legitimate job, not something illegal.

"Director Chen, what’s the situation?" Lin Chao asked as he approached Chen Bo, using the respectful title.

Chen Bo explained, "The hospital is likely extorting money and colluding with loan sharks. It might be a criminal enterprise. We’re going to take them down."

"That exciting?" Lin Chao said in surprise.

To be honest, in his entire career in Youcheng, he hadn’t encountered many major cases. He never expected to run into something so thrilling right after arriving here.

Soon, the entire police department was assembled, and they set off in a grand procession.

...

「The Hospital.」

Lu Feng was once again outside the operating room. The couple had already secured the loan and paid the hospital the surgery fee. They were now waiting anxiously outside the operating room, unaware of their daughter’s true condition.

Lu Feng felt a bit of sympathy for the two. Ordinary people like them were helpless in a situation like this. Their daughter was already dead, yet she was being used to squeeze every last penny from them.

This just showed how rotten the Xuanfeng Alliance’s medical system was. Even the medical system back in Dragon Country wasn’t this corrupt.

The door to the operating room opened again.

The doctor emerged once more. This time, he seemed to have splashed even more water on his face, trying to project the image of someone who had given his all.

Seeing the couple, he sighed. "Sir, Ma’am, I’m very sorry. I did everything in my power, but we couldn’t save your daughter."

The couple was dumbstruck by his words, then broke down, wailing uncontrollably.

They had taken out a loan against their house to pay the surgery fee, hoping to save their daughter. Who knew that even after paying the money, she still couldn’t be saved?

After crying for a long time, the couple seemed to accept the reality of the situation and asked to retrieve their daughter’s body. But just then, another doctor came out and said to them, "Sir, Ma’am, you’ll also need to pay a 500,000 Xuanfeng Coin body disposal fee before we can release the body to you."

"???" Lu Feng was dumbfounded hearing Hadona’s translation. ’I thought cheating them out of surgery fees was the absolute limit of corruption! Who knew there was more?’

There was no rock bottom here, only a deeper level of heartlessness.

Hearing this, the couple completely broke down and collapsed to the floor.

"Did you get that on camera?" Lu Feng looked at Black Snake.

"Yes." Black Snake shook his phone.

"Let’s go. We’ll wait for Chen Bo and his men to arrive and let him handle it," Lu Feng said, turning to leave with his people.

But just as they were about to enter the elevator, its doors opened. Several security guards poured out and surrounded them, their expressions hostile.

At the same time, several menacing figures appeared at both ends of the hallway, completely blocking their escape.
