If it's a relative, you should at least give a thousand as a starting point.

Yang Jian was completely bewildered by Zhou Cheng's words.

He had just thought that Zhou Cheng would also sacrifice himself to save everyone, just like him.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Cheng's approach was so cold.

He actually ignored everyone, treating them merely as neighbors, only offering two hundred yuan for their funeral expenses after their deaths!

"Police Officer Brother, do you think there's a problem with what I'm doing? They are all the best neighbors around me... They've been very good to me, always treating me like family, and I've always treated them like family too," Yang Jian said, looking at Zhou Cheng.

At this moment, his mindset hadn't changed yet; perhaps his mind was still filled with memories of his neighbors being kind to him.

"Oh, so you treat them like family? Then two hundred yuan won't do. If they're relatives, it should be at least a thousand to start," Zhou Cheng said again.

Each sentence challenged Yang Jian's moral bottom line.

Listening to Zhou Cheng's words, Yang Jian felt his conscience being impacted again and again.

He never expected Zhou Cheng's words to be so cold and heartless.

Those were all his friends and family!

"Brother, don't you think it's worth it to save twelve people by sacrificing just me?" Yang Jian said, still trying to convince Zhou Cheng that what he did was not wrong.

Zhou Cheng listened to Yang Jian's utterly ridiculous and naive words, remaining silent for a full minute.

He stared at Yang Jian for a full minute, seeing no trace of impurity in his eyes!

Only then did he confirm that this kid was truly a 'Holy Mother,' not in a derogatory sense, but a genuine 'Holy Mother' who would sacrifice himself to save others.

This made Zhou Cheng both angry and happy.

He was angry because such a person truly had a problem with his brain, but happy because such a person deserved to be saved by him!

"Is that how you do the math? Do you think you're very great?" Zhou Cheng said mercilessly, his tone sharp.

These sharp, critical words stunned Yang Jian, leaving him speechless.

"You think you sacrificed your life to save twelve people, so you profited? You died a worthy death? So you're very great?"

"Wrong! You are not great; in fact, you should reflect more on why you, with such an ability, would save a group of people who forced you to your death!"

"You've fallen into a dead end of self-move!" Zhou Cheng cursed unceremoniously.

Saying this, he took out his phone and materialized the evidence of Cheng Wei and others' illegal activities on it!

On the way here, Zhou Cheng had already exchanged for the evidence of Cheng Wei and the others' illegal activities.

He also saw from the evidence that Cheng Wei and the others were bribed by a pharmaceutical company and designed to force Yang Jian to hand over his medicinal prescription under the pretexts of illegal medical practice and fraud!

"This is what I investigated before I came!" Zhou Cheng handed the phone to Yang Jian.

He let him hold it and look!

"Do you think Cheng Wei and the others wronged you just because they didn't know you had special abilities?"

"Wrong. Even if they didn't know, couldn't they feel the change in their condition? You took their money and cured their illnesses; this was already a completed transaction!

They had no reason to investigate the prescription, nor to force you. So, in fact, they were all acting with a mission, deliberately trying to coerce you!"

"Cheng Wei and the others were bribed by a pharmaceutical company in Shanghai. This shows the evidence of their contact. They want to use this method to force you to hand over the prescription, understand?"

Zhou Cheng spoke a string of words, his pace unhurried.

This made Yang Jian, lying on the bed, frown deeply.

Impossible, how could this be... Yet, the evidence on Zhou Cheng's phone told him that all of this was true!

The phone clearly showed the chat records between Cheng Wei and that pharmaceutical company, as well as their money transfer records.

"Ms. Cheng, we are a legitimate pharmaceutical manufacturer in Shanghai. Although your daughter's condition has improved somewhat, what about the future? Is it possible for it to relapse? Folk remedies, after all, have not undergone scientific verification!"

"And if Yang Jian sells his prescription to us, and after we research it, we produce qualified medicine,

then your daughter's illness will also be completely cured! We guarantee your daughter free use of the medicine, and we will also give you three million yuan. We can transfer a deposit of five hundred thousand yuan to you shortly!"

"We have already contacted Mr. Yang Jian, but he is stubborn and refuses to sell the prescription. So, as long as you can use your identity as a patient's family member to accuse him of illegal medical practice and fraud, he will surely be afraid."

"Then we will step in and acquire his prescription. Rest assured, our promised three million yuan is absolutely valid!"

Yang Jian looked at the chat records above, his expression sorrowful.

How could this be? How could Sister Cheng force me for money?

Quickly flipping through, besides Cheng Wei, Grandpa Qian and Xiao Hai were all there; they were all involved!

Yang Jian's mind was instantly in utter chaos!

After he gained this ability, he was initially unwilling to use it. But it was Cheng Wei's tears, her pleas for help, coupled with watching Cheng Wei's daughter grow up since childhood.

He couldn't bear to see her daughter die like that, so he used his ability for the first time.

And because he knew about Cheng Wei's family situation, he only charged her fifty thousand yuan.

However, according to the consumption of his ability, after absorbing Cheng Wei's daughter's leukemia onto himself, he needed to spend one million yuan to clear the leukemia from his body!

Subsequently, Grandpa Qian's stomach cancer, his friend Xiao Hai's liver cancer, and so on—they were either neighbors who watched him grow up or his close friends!

He couldn't bear to refuse them.

But now, they were actually coercing him like this for other people's money!

"Tell me a number, how much money can save you?" Zhou Cheng asked Yang Jian.

The truth, once revealed, is often so hard to believe!

"Twenty million." Yang Jian said, a number that was already astronomical to him.
