17: Chapter 17 That's how the world is; with strong connections, you can do whatever you want.

Luo Wei had no idea.

After he left, Team Leader Li Guangbiao was plunged into endless panic.

He had assumed that Shen Yanqiu had her secretary summon him to her office in front of everyone for a reason.

The purpose was to let others know he had a connection with her, making his life at the company easier.

However, before he even reached Shen Yanqiu's office, the bad luck talisman he had placed on Liu Kailong unexpectedly returned on its own!

The bad luck talisman returning without being summoned meant that Liu Kailong was dead!

It seemed Shen Yanqiu summoning him to her office might be related to Liu Kailong.

Sure enough, when Luo Wei entered Shen Yanqiu's office,

he saw Shen Yanqiu visibly distraught.

There was no one else in the office.

Shen Yanqiu got straight to the point, explaining the situation directly.

"I just received a call from the hospital. The doctor said Liu Kailong is on the verge of death and asked me to come over!"

Shen Yanqiu wished for nothing more than Liu Kailong to die quickly, but she feared this incident might be connected to Luo Wei!

She was worried that Luo Wei had beaten Liu Kailou, leading to his death!

If it was Luo Wei's fault, things would become extremely complicated!

"Don't worry!" Luo Wei waved his hand with a brilliant smile.

"This matter definitely has absolutely nothing to do with me."

"Shen Yanqiu, you focus on your meeting first. I'll go to the hospital on your behalf to check the situation and figure out exactly what happened!"

Shen Yanqiu nodded in agreement. She couldn't leave right now, so Luo Wei's willingness to go to the hospital was a great relief!

"Take my car. Remember to notify me the moment you figure out what's going on!"

"Mhm, don't worry!"

Taking Shen Yanqiu's car keys, Luo Wei left the office.

He immediately spotted the pot-bellied Team Leader Li Guangbiao hiding in the break room, peering in his direction.

Luo Wei couldn't be bothered with that guy. He took the elevator downstairs.

Arriving at the underground parking lot, he had just unlocked Shen Yanqiu's car.

When the pot-bellied Team Leader Li Guangbiao suddenly sprinted towards him at an unbelievable speed!

How could Team Leader Li not recognize that this car was Shen Yanqiu's personal vehicle!

Luo Wei, driving Shen Yanqiu's car on company time to handle business.

Their relationship was self-evident!

Team Leader Li was scared out of his wits!

"Lo, Luo Wei, I, I was blind before, failing to recognize a great person..."

"The reason you came to my house yesterday was on Vice CEO Shen's orders, right? Actually, that was Vice CEO Shen's warning to me, wasn't it?"

"Luo Wei, I was wrong. I've worked at this company for so many years, and this is the first time I've ever taken a kickback from a client. Please, put in a good word for me in front of Vice CEO Shen!"

"I don't want to get fired. I'm getting old; if I'm fired, I won't find a better job. I have a big family to support..."

Fine beads of cold sweat broke out on Team Leader Li's forehead. He wept bitterly, his obese body trembling.

Unfortunately, Luo Wei knew this guy's character all too well.

Faced with the pitiful Team Leader Li, he felt not an ounce of sympathy, only intense disgust!

Luo Wei opened the car door with a dark expression. "Sorry, I need to go handle some business for Shen Yanqiu. Don't waste my time!"

"Luo Wei, please..." Team Leader Li clung to the car door, continuing to beg. "I'll kneel for you!"

Not long ago, he had been the one with a twisted, demonic face blocking Luo Wei's way.

Now, he had been reduced to a pitiful worm, begging!

Luo Wei felt absolutely no pity for him.

"Tell me, is there gold under your knees?"

"What good does your kneeling do me? Is this how you ask for favors?"

Luo Wei's meaning was crystal clear. Team Leader Li had no choice but to fish out a bank card from his person.

Actually, he had already prepared a sum of money, but he wanted to see if kneeling would soften Luo Wei's heart.

Since kneeling was useless, he had no choice but to hand the bank card over to Luo Wei.

"There's fifty thousand in the card. I wrote the PIN on it. Luo Wei, see if you can..."

Before Team Leader Li could finish, Luo Wei unceremoniously took the card.

Being able to squeeze money out of that iron rooster, Team Leader Li, time and again put him in an excellent mood!

"Alright, alright, go back and work in peace!" Having taken the bank card, Luo Wei shut the car door without another word.

"Just behave yourself from now on. I won't tell Shen Yanqiu about your dirty little secrets."

"Thank you, thank you so much..."

Team Leader Li thanked him repeatedly, watching as Luo Wei drove away. Only then did the smile vanish from his face.

Luo Wei had clearly swindled his money, yet he still had to desperately curry favor with Luo Wei!

This is how the world works, with strong connections you can do whatever you want!

Putting Team Leader Li out of his mind,

Luo Wei rushed to the hospital where Liu Kailong was at the fastest speed.

Dialing a phone number provided by Shen Yanqiu, Luo Wei informed the other party he had arrived at the hospital.

Soon, a middle-aged male doctor in a white coat hurriedly appeared.

"You're Liu Kailong's family member, correct?"

"That's right." Luo Wei nodded.

The male doctor got straight to the point, making a promise directly.

"Liu Kailong's friends are causing a huge scene in our conference room."

"If possible, I hope you can stop them from making trouble."

"Rest assured, Liu Kailong's death is indeed our hospital's fault."

"Our hospital will do everything possible to make up for this mistake..."

Faced with the male doctor's plea, Luo Wei nodded.

He followed the doctor upstairs via the elevator, heading towards a conference room.

Before even reaching the conference room, he could hear a cacophony of angry roars coming from inside!

"Our Brother Long was perfectly fine, just getting an IV here for a skin allergy, and you people actually managed to kill him!"

"Let me tell you, if you don't give us brothers a proper explanation, we'll tear this hospital down ourselves!"

"..."

The male doctor looked at Luo Wei with difficulty.

Luo Wei smiled and nodded, signaling the doctor to open the door.

At that moment, inside the conference room, five or six tall, burly, and fierce-looking men were screaming furiously at several medical staff!

The medical staff hung their heads, trembling, unable to get a word in edgewise.

After Liu Kailong's death, the hospital had called those few people to the conference room, hoping to have a proper discussion with them.

Who would have known these people were completely impossible to reason with!

Just then, Luo Wei entered the conference room.

The moment they saw Luo Wei, those few burly men who had been roaring like mad instantly fell silent!

Last night, each of them had taken a groin kick from Luo Wei.

They, along with Liu Kailong, had been receiving treatment at this very hospital.

Discovering Liu Kailong had died inexplicably, as his sworn brothers, they naturally wanted to seek justice for him!

But they never expected Luo Wei would also show up at the hospital.

Seeing those few people, the corner of Luo Wei's mouth lifted in a cold sneer.

He directly waved his hand, ordering them to leave.

"This has nothing to do with you. Get out, all of you!"

Faced with Luo Wei's expulsion, those physically imposing men looked at each other.

They were furious with Luo Wei, but they were no match for him. They didn't dare to confront Luo Wei head-on.

In the end, they hung their heads, tucked their tails between their legs, and slunk out of the conference room in disgrace.

Witnessing this scene, the medical staff in the conference room didn't breathe a sigh of relief.

Instead, they grew even more uneasy.

This young man before them had effortlessly subdued those big guys!

In other words, he was even more formidable and troublesome than those big guys...
