Chapter 205 Fatherly Love is Poisonous
"Yes, sir, I guarantee the mission will be accomplished."
Li Jitao felt a pain in his chest and didn't want to speak anymore. He waved for Qi Tongwei to leave.
Suddenly the phone rang. Li Jitao got a headache as soon as he heard it. It was a leader from the municipal government calling, asking him why he had arrested Dean Ma. The leader's tone was stern and the wording was harsh.
Li Jitao could only helplessly say that he would release the person as soon as possible after a thorough investigation.
Provincial Department, Interrogation Room.
Nurse Zhu sat trembling in the truth chair. It was the first time in her 30 years of life that she had been to a police station, and she didn't know where to put her hands and feet.
Qi Tongwei sat opposite Nurse Zhu, not asking any questions, and just smoking.
Wu Dali was getting impatient. What were they waiting for? Why didn't they just ask directly?
After finishing his cigarette, Qi Tongwei stubbed it out and threw it into the ashtray. "Have you thought about what to say?"
Nurse Zhu nervously rubbed her hands together, sweat beading on them. "Officer, I don't know anything!"
Qi Tongwei stood up and walked over to Nurse Zhu. "Ma Lingling went to the hospital for a checkup, and she wasn't diagnosed with any mental illness. As a nurse, you gave her her psychiatric medication. As a woman yourself, don't you have any compassion?"
"You have a family, a husband and children. Don't you ever have nightmares when you're awake at night?"
“If one day in the future your husband offends someone and your child is locked up in a mental hospital, and you are left helpless and alone, will you regret what you did?”
"Or are you just resigned to your fate, too afraid to resist, letting others torture your child using the same methods you used on them?"
Nurse Zhu trembled all over, her lips quivered, and she gripped her knees tightly. These words were like a knife stabbing into her heart. She could be unsympathetic to Ma Lingling, and she could even aid and abet evil, but she absolutely could not allow it to happen to her own child.
"Officer, I'm just a nurse. I give patients whatever medication the doctor prescribes. I really don't know anything else."
Qi Tongwei bent down and glared fiercely at Nurse Zhu. "Are you sure you've thought this through? You want to take the blame? Let me tell you clearly, you can't. Even if you sacrifice your whole family, you still can't."
Nurse Zhu was terrified by these words. She was just a nurse, not the mastermind. How could she have implicated her whole family? The police must be trying to scare her. They must be trying to scare her. They were all in the same boat. Dean Ma would definitely find a way to save them.
Qi Tongwei returned to his seat and suddenly slammed his fist on the table with a loud thud, startling Nurse Zhu.
"Listen carefully, I'm giving you one last chance. Ma Fengtian, who sent Ma Lingling to the mental hospital, is a drug dealer, and we've already arrested him."
"Dean Ma accepted bribes from drug dealers to illegally imprison Ma Lingling in a mental hospital, which constitutes a criminal offense."
"Although you are not the mastermind, you are an accomplice. If you still think that Dean Ma can come to your rescue, I advise you not to dream about it. Dean Ma is in dire straits himself. Even if Dean Ma has connections and influence, what are you, a nurse? Just a pawn that can be discarded at any time."
"If I were Dean Ma, I would shift all the blame to my subordinates. By the same token, Director Niu would definitely shift it to the attending physician and nurses. Are you sure you want to take the blame for this connection to drug dealers?"
"Let me make it clear to you, the hospital has been plagued by serious problems and rampant corruption in recent years. The province will soon identify a typical case to make an example of, and punish the perpetrator severely and swiftly."
The combination of these phrases—leaders shirking responsibility, implicating drug dealers, and the province making an example of someone to deter others—finally made Nurse Zhu realize the seriousness of the situation.
Seeing the frightened look on Nurse Zhu's face, Lan Ying realized that she must have been scared by Qi Tongwei's words. She had to admire Qi Tongwei; his nonsense was truly exceptional.
Wu Dali looked completely bewildered. "Brother, how come I didn't think of that?"
Qi Tongwei lit another cigarette, and the interrogation room was filled with smoke and eerily quiet.
"Have you thought it through? Do you want to seize this opportunity to redeem yourself, or give it up?"
Nurse Zhu thought of her husband and children. She didn't want to get involved with drug dealers. If others confessed, she would have to take the heaviest burden. The police were right. She couldn't bear this burden, and it would even implicate her whole family.
"Officer, I'll tell you, it was Director Niu and Dr. Xiong who made me do it. If I didn't, they would fire me, so I had no choice."
After Nurse Zhu confessed, Director Niu and Dr. Xiong quickly confessed using the same method, saying they were instructed by Dean Ma.
Qi Tongwei did not continue interrogating Dean Ma, but instead interrogated Ma Fengtian.
"Ma Fengtian, I have some good news for you. Do you want to hear it?"
Ma Fengtian glared angrily; it was definitely not good news. Qi Tongwei was deliberately mocking him.
"Officer, I've confessed to everything, what more do you want?"
Qi Tongwei laughed and said, "Ma Fengtian, that's not right of you. Why get angry for no reason?"
"I just want to tell you that Ma Lingling was rescued from the mental hospital by us, and your son has also been arrested by us."
With his wife arrested, millions of yuan confiscated, and now his son arrested as well, Ma Fengtian is completely devastated. He's facing the same fate as Ma Dafu, whose family has been destroyed.
Ma Fengtian was unwilling to accept this, and roared and struggled angrily, "Why are you arresting my son? Why are you arresting my son?"
Qi Tongwei laughed loudly, "Damn it, what right do you have? You son of a bitch, don't you know what you've done?"
"Ma Fengtian, you and Ma Dafu were childhood friends. For money, you killed your best friend and didn't even spare his wife and children. You have absolutely no remorse!"
Ma Fengtian loudly protested, "I didn't, I didn't! What makes you think I killed Ma Dafu? He just went abroad and disappeared. What does it have to do with me?"
Qi Tongwei calmly took a sip of water. "Poor Ma Dafu was betrayed by his best friend, his body dumped in the wilderness, without even a tombstone. How pitiful and tragic."
"Slander! This is slander! I didn't kill Ma Dafu! I didn't kill Ma Dafu!"
Mentioning Ma Dafu's name triggers a reaction in Ma Fengtian. For money, he killed his best friend, monopolized the karaoke bar, and frequently had nightmares about Ma Dafu.
Ma Dafu kept shouting, "I'm cold, I'm so cold."
Qi Tongwei reveled in the thrill of provoking the criminals. "Ma Fengtian, don't get agitated. We'll talk about Ma Dafu later. Your son, Ma Liang, raped and detained Ma Lingling, and then sent her to a mental hospital. I just want to know, who did it—you, your wife, your son, or the whole family together?"
"I did it all by myself."
Since Ma Fengtian was going to be executed anyway, he hurriedly took all the blame, which did show a bit of paternal love. However, this paternal love was poisonous, as the saying goes, "If a son is not taught, it is the father's fault."
"Then tell me in detail how Ma Lingling was sent to the mental hospital."
"I bribed Director Ma of the mental hospital with 200,000 yuan, and I will pay the subsequent treatment costs on time every month."
Ma Fengtian was quick to betray Dean Ma without hesitation, clearly afraid of implicating his son.
Qi Tongwei chuckled and said, "Dean Ma, just wait and see what I'm about to do."
