They had done a number of illegal or bad things in the past. At the beginning, they were scared of being caught or regretted what they had done. After getting financial benefit out of those things, they threw their consciences into the ocean.

Making money without hard work from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily was their dream. Once they tasted the sweetness, they became more and more fearless. After they had committed three crimes, they couldn’t stop. It was like they were drug addicts.

Karl Marx once said that people would take risk if they could make 50% profit out of capitalism. They would become heartless oppressed creatures if they could make 100% profit.

These men didn’t need to invest anything into their business to make double or even triple profits. They formed their own gang and had their own rules and regulations.

They had been to different parts of the country. They had been racketeers and fraudsters. They had stolen things and robbed people. They had pretended to be hit by a car and forced the driver to pay them off. Initially, they lived on their toes. They had been chased after and beaten by their enemies. They had also been caught and stayed in jail for some time.

After experiencing all those things, they became experienced criminals. As long as they got paid good money, they would even kill people, just like that old man.

They didn’t care about karma. Maybe they previously thought about it, but the more crimes they committed, the less they cared about karma.

However, they had now encountered Wang Yao. Was it their karma?

Bullshit! Cao Meng didn’t believe in karma. If karma existed in this world, he would have been killed thousands of times and thrown into hell.

Yet, he knew his condition was caused by Wang Yao. He was pretty sure Wang Yao did something to him and his pals. He would surely seek revenge.

He called more members of his gangster to come. They were a big group. They were actually well-prepared this time, so they didn’t expect to come across any difficulties. It made Cao Meng start to think about what had gone wrong and what he should do next.

I should probably consult a lawyer.

Cao Meng decided to pursue a lawsuit. He had actually read and studied a number of books of legislation and laws.

Nowadays, society was based on laws. The government had been perfecting laws and legislation. More and more people were aware that they could go through the legal system to achieve what they wanted. It was ironic that a group of criminals were seeking legal assistance.

In the village, Wang Yao didn’t open his clinic. He notified his patients through Weibo. No one was sure who leaked the news out, but several people knew about the incident that caused the death of Cao Zizhen’s father. They left messages on Weibo for Wang Yao.

“Dr. Wang, are you alright? Let me know if you need help,” a patient posted.

“Same here,” another patient posted.

A number of people expressed their concerns for Wang Yao. At the same time, they made it very clear that as long as Wang Yao needed their help, they would be very happy to offer. They were nice people while a few others were sarcastic.

Want Yao crafted a response. “Thank you for offering assistance. I’m fine and can handle the issue on my own.” He wanted to express his gratitude to those who offered help. As for those who were sarcastic or nasty, he didn’t respond. If a mad dog was barking at him, he wouldn’t bark back.

On the same day, Wang Yao received several phone calls from friends who happened to know about the incident.

Wang Mingbao came to visit him when he was having evening dinner. He returned from a business trip as soon as he heard the news. “What happened?”

“Someone wanted to blackmail me,” Wang Yao said.

“Tell me about it,” Wang Mingbao said.

Wang Yao made Wang Mingbao a cup of tea and told him what had happened.

“They are not from Qi province?” Wang Mingbao asked.

“No,” Wang Yao said.

“How dare they come all the way here to blackmail you,” Wang Mingbao said.

“But, that old man still died,” Wang Yao said. The only thing he felt guilty about was that he could have saved that old man.

“He was responsible for raising a son like that,” Wang Mingbao said after lighting a cigarette. “Where are those people now? Why can’t the police keep them in jail for a big longer?”

“Keep them in jail for a bit longer? Haha, do you run the police station?” Wang Yao asked with a smile. “They are in the hospital.”

“Hospital? Did you do something to them?” Wang Mingbao asked.

“I asked them to repent, but they were very reluctant to do it,” Wang Yao said.

Wang Mingbao laughed.

“They must pay for what they have done,” Wang Yao said.

This time, he was heavy handed, so those people wouldn’t recover any time soon.

In the hospital, the gang members who had been lying on the bed started to vomit again.

“Gosh! What’s wrong with them?” All the medical staff were shocked.

Since they had been admitted to the hospital, the men hadn’t stopped vomiting. At the beginning, they were not too bad, so the nurses gave them infusions. However, after they had something to eat, their symptoms immediately worsened. They had thrown up all the food they had and started to vomit acid water and blood.

“We can’t leave them like this,” a nurse said.

“What have they had eaten to trigger such a response?” another nurse asked.

“Boss, should we go to a different hospital?” a gangster asked.

They didn’t even have the strength to speak as they were lying on the bed. Their faces were white. They felt there was nothing left inside their body.

“OK, OK,” Cao Meng weakly said.

The other members of the gang had arrived at the hospital. They were shocked when they saw Cao Meng and their pals. After Cao Meng told the newcomers what they had gone through, the newcomers started to plan how to take revenge. However, Cao Meng and those sick gangsters started to vomit blood again. The newcomers had to stay to look after their pals. At the same time, they gave up the idea of taking immediate revenge since they didn’t want to end up like their pals.

The doctor agreed with hospital transfer. The request was approved quickly since the doctors in Lianshan People’s hospital couldn’t do anything to make Cao Meng and his gangsters better. The doctors didn’t want them to die in the hospital.

“They are going to be transferred to a different hospital?” Pan Jun asked with surprise as soon as he heard the news.

“Yes,” a resident doctor said.

“That’s fine. I don’t want to see them anyway,” Pan Jun said.

“Dr. Pan, what disease have they got?” the resident doctor asked. “I’ve never seen anyone who had food poisoning be as sick as them.”

“I’m not sure. Maybe it is their karma,” Pan Jun said.

“What?” the resident doctor asked with surprise.

“Those people are all criminals and scumbags,” Pan Jun said. “They have blackmailed people and done racketeering. They had been in the police station before being admitted here.”

“Really?” the resident doctor asked.

“Yes, and they are not locals. I think they are from a gang in a different province,” Pan Jun said.

To him, the men were from a gang, a criminal and violent group, not just a group. A gang and a group were totally different.

No one except Wang Yao would think about the old man who was poisoned to death after this thing had settled.

It was getting late and very quiet on Nanshan Hill. Wang Yao stood on the top of the hill looking up at the sky. He was wondering why those people came to his clinic and whether it was just a coincidence.

In the village, the lights of most houses had been turned off. It was very quiet.

Woof! Woof! Woof! A local dog suddenly started to bark.

A person entered the village through a narrow path no one normally took.

“Where is it?” murmured the person, whose face was covered.

He followed a path on the eastern side of the hill to enter the village and continued to walk south. He stopped in front of Wang Yao’s clinic.

“Hmm, I think this is the right place,” the person said.

As soon as he was about to jump over the wall, someone patted his shoulder. He turned around and saw a person smiling at him.

“Hey,” said the person smiling.

“What?” The man whose face was covered was surprised.

“You wanna break in?” the person smiling asked.

“Well…” The man whose face was covered wasn’t sure what to say.

“I’ve been waiting for you,” the person smiling said.

It was Zhong Liuchuan. He thought the thing that happened the previous day was more than blackmail. So, he had come to Wang Yao’s clinic at night and bumped into the man with a cover on his face.

The man with cover on his face wanted to escape, but was thrown by Zhong Liuchuan. His body hit the wall right away. “Ouch! Damn it! They told me nothing would happen.”

“What are you doing here?” Zhong Liuchuan asked.

“I… I just want to steal some stuff from the clinic,” the man in pain said.

“What do you want to steal?” Zhong Liuchuan asked.

“I just try to steal some money since I heard a doctor whose surname is Wang is quite wealthy. So here I am,” the thief said.

“Really? Take off your clothes,” Zhong Liuchuan said.

“What?” the thief asked in surprise. Crack! Something got snapped. “Ouch!”

He screamed for one second. He soon found he could no longer make any sounds. His jaw had been dislocated by Zhong Liuchuan.

“Take off your clothes,” Zhong Liuchuan demanded.

The man immediately took off all his clothes.

“Why did you bring this with you since you only wanted to steal some money?” Zhong Liuchuan asked. “I guess you have poison inside?”
