59: Chapter 59 You've Actually Become a Discarded Pawn
Faced with Captain Qin's plea,
Luo Wei did not agree immediately.
In truth, he didn't mind helping others.
But he didn't want to give selflessly; he hoped to gain some benefits!
However, this Captain Qin asked for help without mentioning anything about rewards.
Since he didn't bring up the matter of a reward, Luo Wei naturally had to take the initiative to fight for it.
“Captain Qin, you just said that Li Taian wanted to spend ten million to ask for my help.”
“If he really transfers ten million to me, can that money be considered my legal income?”
Luo Wei's inquiry gave Xia Ningxue a start. Cooperating with Law enforcement personnel is a citizen's duty; how could he bring up money?
Moreover, this Captain Qin was someone who could not tolerate any flaws or impropriety.
Sun Long couldn't help but laugh, feeling that Luo Wei was completely courting death!
But to their surprise, Captain Qin actually nodded.
“Currently, Li Taian hasn't been convicted yet, so he isn't a criminal.”
“It's none of our business who he transfers money to.”
“But I have only one requirement: I want to obtain evidence of his crimes!”
With Captain Qin's approval, Luo Wei was suddenly full of motivation.
“Let's go, take me to Li Taian's ward!”
Captain Qin immediately turned around to lead the way.
Xia Ningxue walked alongside Luo Wei.
She felt that Luo Wei was being far too reckless!
She couldn't help but reach out, wanting to pinch the soft flesh at Luo Wei's waist.
Luo Wei was quick-eyed and nimble-handed, grabbing her small hand and giving her palm a squeeze.
Xia Ningxue's face flushed as she hurriedly struggled; she was wearing her uniform right now, and it wouldn't be good if others saw.
This scene was naturally witnessed by Sun Long, who was following behind!
Already stifled and annoyed, seeing this situation made him feel like he was about to explode with rage!
Even though Xia Ningxue was just a local police officer, the number of people who liked her was countless, and Sun Long was one of them.
Many people had confessed to Xia Ningxue only to be rejected; he never expected her to actually like a Pretty Boy like this!
Sun Long secretly made up his mind that he would find every possible way to make things difficult and punish Luo Wei later!
On the sixth floor of the hospital, in the most luxurious VIP ward.
Ever since he was hospitalized yesterday,
Li Taian felt his body rapidly decaying!
He was only in his forties, in the prime of his life; he had a burly build and was quite powerful!
But in less than a single day, he felt as though he had aged into a withered old man.
Now, he couldn't even roll over to get out of bed, and even breathing felt difficult.
He knew very well that if this continued, he would soon die!
He knew that all of this was that Luo Wei's doing!
That Luo Wei was truly too eerie and terrifying!
He didn't want to die yet; he desperately hoped Luo Wei would let him go.
Just then, a handsome young man with a bit of a rogue air appeared.
Li Taian's eyes widened, thinking his eyes were playing tricks on him!
Luo Wei had actually appeared!
“Yo, how did you end up in such a miserable state?”
Luo Wei entered the ward alone, while Xia Ningxue, Captain Qin, and Sun Long waited in the reception room outside.
“You, you...” Seeing Luo Wei again, Li Taian was both anxious and furious; his breathing quickened as he wanted to lash out with curses.
But in the next second, he coughed violently, spitting out flecks of blood that stained the white bedsheets red.
Luo Wei sat down in a chair beside the bed and got straight to the point.
“Don't get excited, I'm here to save you.”
“If you want to get better, you must agree to two conditions!”
“One, I want ten million. Two, you have to hand over evidence of your crimes!”
“Heh heh...” Li Taian lay on the bed, let out a weak, cold laugh, “In your dreams!”
“I know very well what crimes I've committed. Even if you save me, if I hand over the evidence, only a path to death awaits me!”
In the reception room across the wall, hearing Li Taian's words, Xia Ningxue frowned, feeling that there was little hope for this matter.
The corners of Sun Long's mouth curled up uncontrollably; he couldn't wait for this plan to fail!
He was just waiting to see Luo Wei make a fool of himself.
Captain Qin remained expressionless and very calm.
His request for Luo Wei's help was entirely a flash of inspiration; even if Luo Wei failed, it wouldn't have much impact on the overall case.
However, Luo Wei was not willing to give up so easily; he wanted to get his hands on Li Taian's ten million!
He chuckled and brought up a certain matter.
“Do you think that because you're unwilling to confess, certain people will be grateful to you?”
“Li Taian, you're mistaken. Actually, you've already become a discarded pawn!”
“Just a moment ago, a doctor was blackmailed into trying to kill you!”
“Did you know? If it weren't for me, you'd be dead already!”
Hearing this, Li Taian's pupils constricted... Luo Wei recounted what had just happened.
Captain Qin could clearly hear Li Taian's breathing becoming rapid!
The doctor captured by Xia Ningxue had not yet been escorted back to headquarters.
Captain Qin gave Sun Long a look, signaling him to bring that Zhang Song over.
Sun Long didn't want to act as Luo Wei's assistant, but he didn't dare disobey Captain Qin's order.
Gritting his teeth, he brought Zhang Song over with a dark face and pushed him into the ward.
Zhang Song, who was handcuffed for attempted murder, was already in a state of panic and unease.
Now, brought before Li Taian, he was nearly scared out of his wits!
Who in Honghai City didn't know of Li Taian's notorious reputation!
Even if he was sick, he was still not someone an ordinary person could look directly at!
“Doctor Zhang!” Luo Wei looked at Zhang Song with a chuckle, “Not long ago, I heard with my own ears that you were on the phone with someone in the utility room.”
“Please tell me, exactly who ordered you to kill Li Taian?”
“I, I don't know...” Seeing the furious gaze Li Taian cast his way,
Zhang Song was scared out of his mind!
His legs went weak, and he slumped onto the floor in a mess.
He cried out in terror, “I, I only know it was people from Taian Company...”
“I once borrowed a million in high-interest loans from Taian Company, and the people from Taian Company used that to blackmail me...”
“They said if I didn't do it, they would tell my family about the million I owe, and they would come after me...”
“I, I had no way out, I had no choice, I was forced into it...”
After Zhang Song finished his account, Captain Qin had Sun Long take him away.
Subsequently, Luo Wei looked at Li Taian with a beaming smile.
“Well? I didn't lie to you, did I?”
“Since you're dead either way, do you really not plan on taking a few people down with you?”
Li Taian's expression was extremely ugly; if he could choose, he wanted to take Luo Wei down with him!
If it weren't for Luo Wei, he would never have fallen into such a miserable and wretched state!
So it was people from the company who wanted to silence him.
But Li Taian remained unmoved!
He wanted to protect his family and take the fall for everything!
However, at this moment, Luo Wei dealt him another critical blow!
“Don't even think about taking the fall for all the cases just to protect your family or whatever.”
“To tell you the truth, it was your daughter, Li Yina, who arranged for someone to try and kill you!”
Hearing this, Li Taian was truly struck by a heavy blow!
His eyes were filled with disbelief.
He didn't want to believe it, but he knew such a possibility couldn't be ruled out!
He reached out with a trembling hand, “Phone, let me see my phone...”
Li Taian's phone had long since been confiscated.
Now, Sun Long brought the phone over with a dark expression.
He was completely acting as Luo Wei's errand boy, which made him very unhappy!
Li Taian opened the phone, and a dense cluster of bank SMS notifications popped up!
Every single one of those messages, without exception, was a transfer alert!
Checking his bank account, Li Taian's vision went black!
The money in his bank account had actually all been transferred away!
The person with the ability to transfer his money was naturally his most trusted daughter!
Li Taian tried to contact his daughter, but no matter how many times he dialed, the call wouldn't go through.
Every sign indicated that he had indeed become a discarded pawn!
In an instant, Li Taian's heart turned to ash.
He had been abandoned by his most beloved daughter!
He knew, of course, that his daughter must have been forced into it!
Even so, his heart ached so much he could hardly breathe; he knew no one would come to rescue him!
He fell into an abyss of despair and painfully closed his eyes, wanting to say nothing, as if waiting for death.
Oh ho, Luo Wei messed up. Sun Long was inwardly ecstatic...
