Chapter 677: Shattered Facade
by xennovelBook Chapter 677: The So-Called Simple Brutality (5th update)
Weng Lanying, 31, from Bin City, works as a clinical laboratory doctor at the City People’s Hospital (Class A)…
At 5 PM, after work, Weng Lanying stepped into the hospital parking lot. Lin
walked toward her beloved car—a Porsche Macan she had bought less than two months ago…
Just as she disengaged the safety lock and opened the door,
“Excuse me, miss, can I add you on WeChat?”
a magnetic voice called out from behind.
Weng Lanying furrowed her brows and turned around.
She had assumed it was just another boring pickup line, but then… her eyes went wide.
In her gaze stood a man so strikingly handsome that no words could truly capture his appeal.
With trendy short hair and a chiseled face, he exuded a hint of nonchalance while radiating an inexplicable charm toward women.
Yet, it was his eyes that captivated her the most.
Their brightness sparkled like a constellation of stars.
When he looked at her, there was an unmistakable gentleness in his eyes…
“Sure, sure!”
Coming back to her senses, Weng Lanying’s delicate features lit up with surprise and a trace of hope as she pulled out her phone.
“Oh, shoot, I just remembered—I have something I must take care of. 27.”
The handsome man wore a fleeting look of worry. “I need to catch a taxi to somewhere. Maybe fate will bring us together again.”
“Huh?”
Seeing him about to leave, Weng Lanying froze and blurted, “How about I drive you?”
“This…”
He turned around and said, “That might be a problem—won’t it slow you down?”
“No worries.”
Weng Lanying smiled gently and gestured toward her car. “Hop in.”
“Thanks!”
The handsome man climbed in from the other side, seating himself in the front passenger seat.
Weng Lanying quickly swung open the door, her excitement palpable as she settled into the driver’s seat.
“Where to?”
She glanced at the handsome man in the passenger seat.
With ruby lips and porcelain skin, he was unnaturally handsome—and seemed quite young, too.
A strange anticipation welled up in her; she was eager for a taste of youthful passion tonight…
“We’re heading to a hospital—a facility that specializes in organ transplants. I’ve heard business there is booming. They not only abduct people, but also kill, and then sell human organs for a pretty penny. In the end, they even dump corpses into the sea to nurture lotus flowers.”
The handsome man beamed like the noon sun, but his smile faltered as he noticed Weng Lanying’s sudden change in expression. “Could you take me to see this hospital? Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. I’m Xiao Yu, a police officer!”
“…”
Terror washed over Weng Lanying’s face, draining it of all color in an instant.
To her, looking at Xiao Yu was like staring at a man-eating demon…
“People love to call doctors angels in white,”
but Xiao Yu’s once sunny smile turned cold as he replied, “Not every doctor deserves that title. Sometimes, beneath the angelic facade beats the heart of a demon. Wouldn’t you agree?”
Weng Lanying opened her mouth, but no words emerged.
“Start driving,” Xiao Yu ordered.
In a cold tone he added, “Don’t make me take action, understand?”
The Porsche Macan slowly eased out of the hospital parking lot and onto the highway.
They had taken such a convoluted route to avoid alerting the enemy—
they still hadn’t pinpointed all the suspects.
How did they track down Weng Lanying?
Team Two spent two full days scouring every hospital in Bin City.
They eventually narrowed the list down to twelve suspects.
Among them, Weng Lanying was one of the top three persons of interest.
What were the suspicions?
Three main points:
First, she had maintained a high-spending lifestyle for five continuous years.
Second, she held a significant amount of unaccounted funds.
Third, her colleagues discovered she had been secretly recording some patient data…
Thus, Xiao Yu had arrived.
He needed to confirm if they had targeted the right person.
It turned out that his subtle probing had already revealed the truth.
Her fleeting microexpressions had given her away.
On the road…
Two business cars, one ahead and one behind, had cornered the Porsche.
Then three vehicles veered into a secluded alley and parked.
The car doors opened.
With a ghastly pale visage, Weng Lanying was dragged into one of the business cars.
Her cherished car was whisked away by members of Team Two…
“Who did you hand over those patient records to?”
Inside the business car, Xiao Yu locked eyes with Weng Lanying.
“I…”
Weng Lanying lowered her head and gritted her teeth, “I didn’t…”
Bang!
A gunshot rang out.
Weng Lanying screamed as a bullet tore through her thigh, causing blood to spurt.
And as if that weren’t enough—she lost control of her bladder and bowels…
Wang Dong retracted his sidearm and, eyeing the agonized Weng Lanying with a sinister smirk, warned, “Keep yelling and I won’t hesitate to drill a hole in your head. Let you understand what it means to have multiple hideouts!”
Her screams abruptly died away.
Even in her pain, Weng Lanying clenched her teeth, staring in terror at Wang Dong without uttering another sound.
“I don’t want to waste any time,”
Xiao Yu stated calmly, “Who did you give the records to?”
“It-it was our director,”
Weng Lanying cried out.
She hadn’t intended to scream—it was the torment in her thigh that forced it out.
“In five years, you’ve received nearly two million in unaccounted funds.”
Xiao Yu questioned, “Those records alone couldn’t be worth that much money.”
“Our director handed them over to me. I…”
With her head bowed and her body trembling, Weng Lanying admitted, “I am his mistress!”
Mistress 630?
Elegantly put… Xiao Yu scoffed, “Why would a director have so much money? Can you explain that?”
“I… don’t know,”
Weng Lanying managed to murmur hesitantly.
Xiao Yu turned to Wang Dong, who pulled out a pistol.
Bang!
Weng Lanying screamed again as another bullet hole appeared in her other thigh. “I told you, I told you… They transplant human organs to others, they even kill—I’ve known it all along!”
This time, she completely lost control of her bowels and bladder.
Whether from the pain or sheer terror, it was hard to tell!
Xiao Yu and Wang Dong paid no mind to the foul stench—instead, both wore broad, relieved smiles.
They had found their target!
……
Sun Guan, 47,
Boom!
A residential door was violently kicked open.
Members of Team Two rushed out…
Five minutes later.
A middle-aged man in shorts was brought before Xiao Yu and Wang Dong.
“Tell me, where are you conducting these organ transplant surgeries?”
Xiao Yu glared at the pale-faced Sun Guan, “Think carefully—you only have one chance.”
“What… are you talking about?” Sun Guan stuttered.
Clearly, he didn’t appreciate the gravity of his situation!
