How many people did you save in total?

Seeing Captain Wu nod, Zhou Cheng then said, "Then, Captain Wu, I'll go investigate this case first."

After speaking, Zhou Cheng turned and left.

He didn't personally take statements from Cheng Wei and the others, but instead handed the matter over to Sun Qian.

Zhou Cheng also knew that interrogating Cheng Wei and the others now wouldn't yield any useful information.

He went straight to the hospital where Yang Jian was!

As soon as he arrived at the hospital, he called the Police Officer accompanying Yang Jian.

Then, under his guidance, he went to Yang Jian's ward.

At this time, Yang Jian had already undergone various examinations.

He was weakly lying on the hospital bed!

Zhou Cheng didn't even react when he came in.

Zhou Cheng didn't disturb him, but instead went to find Yang Jian's doctor first.

"Comrade Police Officer, this patient is truly strange. He has too many serious illnesses on him, leukemia, and several types of cancer. Almost none of his organs are good. How could such a person still be alive? It's simply unscientific."

The doctor said to Zhou Cheng with an exaggerated expression.

However, from his face, Zhou Cheng only saw surprise.

After he finished speaking, he remained as usual, without the slightest hint of seeing a ghost, nor the immediate urge to conduct in-depth research!

Zhou Cheng thought to himself, if this were the real world, seeing such a patient would probably have already been considered a medical miracle, and various medical professors would be eager to join in the excitement.

They might even be treated as research guinea pigs!

This is indeed the world of short dramas; what's unreasonable is reasonable, and what's reasonable is also reasonable!

It's incredibly chaotic, with various protagonists displaying their Divine Abilities, and passersby can be normal or abnormal.

After Zhou Cheng learned the examination results from the doctor, he returned to the ward.

He walked to Yang Jian's bedside and looked at Yang Jian.

He directly asked, "How much money will it take for you to recover? I'm asking how much money I should give you!?"

These words surprised Yang Jian, who was lying on the hospital bed. His dull, colorless eyes, which had been staring blankly at the ceiling, immediately regained their vibrancy and turned to look at Zhou Cheng!

"Police Officer, what do you mean by that?" Yang Jian was still hiding the fact that he possessed special abilities.

In his heart, Zhou Cheng had stood by him and spoken up for him just now, which made him feel very grateful.

"It's exactly as it sounds. I know you have special abilities, and you're not the only one in this world with them." Zhou Cheng bluntly revealed the secret in Yang Jian's heart!

"So I know that you did practice medicine illegally, but you really did cure them."

Upon hearing this, Yang Jian instantly understood that the Police Officer in front of him must also be a person with such amazing special abilities!

But even after understanding all this, Yang Jian remained silent, not speaking.

This made Zhou Cheng unable to help but complain inwardly.

Many short drama protagonists are like this, like a muffled gourd, unwilling to speak directly about anything! They often make people extremely angry!

"Don't worry, I have plenty of money, and I'm not helping you for nothing. You're only twenty-three, right, and you have such abilities. Do you want to die now?

Don't you have someone you like? Do you want the person you like to lose you forever?"

Since Yang Jian wouldn't speak, Zhou Cheng would speak himself; it was enough as long as Yang Jian could hear him.

Zhou Cheng knew that this world was full of love-brained people, so he deliberately mentioned the person he liked.

This works better than anything in idol dramas or romance-oriented short dramas.

Sure enough, after hearing Zhou Cheng's words, Yang Jian's eyes showed countless more emotions!

"Many, many. I currently suffer from nearly ten serious diseases, Police Officer. I know you want to help me, but you definitely can't afford it." Yang Jian said softly, still so weak and listless.

"Actually, I'm quite curious. You have such amazing abilities, why don't you go treat rich people? That would earn you much more money than treating your neighbors. Those rich people are all very afraid of death."

Zhou Cheng asked his question.

With his ability, wouldn't he make money quickly! How could he have fallen to this Realm?

"Because this ability has limitations; it only works on acquaintances I trust 100%. So the people I've treated are all my neighbors, villagers, and friends," Yang Jian said.

This dispelled the doubts in Zhou Cheng's mind.

No wonder this kid ended up in such a state.

He treated his neighbors and friends with full enthusiasm and sincerity, only to be repaid with ingratitude.

Perhaps in Yang Jian's eyes, he trusted his neighbors 100%, so he gave to them selflessly. But what was the result? Such trust was merely an emotion that could be exploited at will.

Perhaps even Yang Jian was just a fool who could be exploited at will in their eyes.

"Sister Cheng, Grandpa Qian, and I all agreed that I would provide them with one course of medicinal herbs each month, which in reality meant absorbing their illnesses once a month in exchange for money."

"But as their conditions improved, they all felt that I was charging too much, and even thought I was defrauding them... But in reality, I calculated that even if they gave me all the money, I would still need to sell the shop my grandfather left me to afford to cure my own illnesses..." Yang Jian slowly recounted.

Now that the matter was open, Yang Jian no longer hid anything!

Zhou Cheng listened to his words, which meant that this fool, Yang Jian, was doing a completely losing business.

Especially now, when those ungrateful people accused him of practicing medicine illegally and defrauding them, he was forced to sell his grandfather's shop to return the money to them.

"But I don't regret it. Sister Cheng, she's very pitiful, raising Xiao Yu alone is very hard. Grandpa Qian, he suffers from illness every night and can't sleep..."

"Xiao Hai is the same; he was diagnosed with liver cancer not long after he got married, and his whole family is unhappy..." Yang Jian said softly, speaking out all the words in his heart.

"Oh, Police Officer Brother, please let Sister Cheng and the others go later. I won't pursue them for smashing my shop or hitting me," Yang Jian added.

This made Zhou Cheng, who was listening nearby, furious.

"Don't you know that you were completely forced to your death by them? If they hadn't forced you, you could have saved yourself by selling the shop!"

"That's true, but they didn't know I had such abilities, did they? It's not their fault."

Zhou Cheng rolled his eyes.

"Police Officer Brother, I think you're just like me. If you encountered something like this, you would definitely do the same as me, right?" Yang Jian didn't seem to sense Zhou Cheng's emotions.

In his opinion, Zhou Cheng was also a kind person, especially given how much he cared about him.

So Yang Jian felt that Zhou Cheng, if he encountered such a situation, would definitely do the same as him: sacrifice himself to save everyone.

"How many people did you save in total?" Zhou Cheng asked casually.

Yang Jian heard this, puzzled, not knowing why Zhou Cheng was asking him this.

"Twelve."

"Oh, then I calculated that if I were you, and each person contributed two hundred yuan, I would need to contribute two thousand four hundred yuan," Zhou Cheng replied.

Yang Jian's brows furrowed instantly upon hearing this, and his expression froze!

"What's wrong? According to the customs where I'm from, giving two hundred yuan to a neighbor is already quite a lot; some only give fifty! And I'm just one person attending the banquet, not eating much extra."

Two hundred is the limit, not a single cent more is possible!
