Chapter 1500 - 604: The Power of the Social Circle Is Tremendous, Justice Arrived Right on Time (Part 2)
"So this is the hospitality of Dacheng Town, I’ve experienced it now."
It was just a bit of a complaint.
Given his current status, posting this on social media was quite a sensitive matter.
If it weren’t for the legal team’s intervention, he might have been detained directly.
So he just sighed a little.
He often heard people say that local powers are entrenched, and that strong outsiders can’t overpower local bullies, but he didn’t fully grasp the subtleties and thought it was somewhat exaggerated.
After experiencing it firsthand today, he realized one truth: locals will definitely support locals.
Just like people from the same country will stand with their compatriots when facing foreigners.
Not long after he posted it, Zhou Can’s phone started ringing, and WeChat messages came one after another.
Director Lou was actually the first one to call.
"Xiao Zhou, are you okay?"
"Thank you, Director Lou, for your concern. I’m fine now."
Zhou Can realized at this time that you can’t just post anything on social media.
"As long as you’re okay. You’re a key pillar of our Emergency Department. If you need anything, feel free to ask me. I know some people who can help put in a good word for you."
Director Lou seemed noticeably more relaxed hearing him say he was okay.
"Alright, thank you. If I need anything, I won’t hesitate to ask you."
After finishing the call, Zhou Can quickly deleted the social media post.
Even though the whole thing lasted just over ten minutes, many people had already seen it.
Various inquiries and concerned calls and messages kept coming.
Even the old leader, Cao Zhengguo, saw his post and called personally to inquire.
It made Zhou Can feel flattered and surprised.
He normally worked quietly, saving lives and building connections.
He never expected that in times of trouble, so many people would reach out to him immediately. This was something he never anticipated.
This also made him realize that his social network had grown incredibly strong over the years.
Though Zhou Can was busy answering calls and messages, explaining everything to those concerned for him, this social media post that was up for just a dozen minutes was still like a bombshell.
The phone at the office started ringing frequently.
In no time, even the station chief and the instructor came in person.
Perhaps even the officer who brought Zhou Can to the station didn’t expect that this young man involved in a fight would have such influence.
Indeed, those who drive luxury cars rarely have a simple identity.
They felt a bit uneasy.
"Mr. Zhou, sorry for the inconvenience."
The boss of the station arrived and directly sought out Zhou Can to comfort him.
"The entire incident has been basically clarified. It was the Su family, especially Su Hongsheng’s family, being unreasonable and greedy. They made it difficult for Su Qianqian, who had returned to visit family, and even tried to detain her forcefully. This already constitutes illegal behavior. What’s worse is they gathered other villagers to block Mr. Zhou and others from leaving and damaged vehicles, which is also illegal. Mr. Zhou had to injure someone, but it was self-defense. The injured individual has been examined and has minor injuries, and after treatment, will be fine."
The boss of the station must have done his homework on his way over.
He had made everything clear.
Superiors from various departments had called to pay attention to this, putting him under immense pressure.
Properly handling this was the top priority.
"Leader, you have to stand up for us! Clearly, this Zhou person injured my son and the villagers, and Su Qianqian is our foster daughter, why should she be taken away just like that? If he wants to take her, he must provide enough betrothal gifts and marry her formally, or it’s illegal."
The aunt’s mouth was indeed formidable.
Upon hearing the arriving leader declare Zhou Can’s actions as self-defense, those who had been attacked were deemed guilty, and she was extremely angry and confused.
What pained her most was the forfeited 50 million.
"Hmph, you’re Su Qianqian’s aunt, right? Mr. Zhou drove over with betrothal gifts to propose respectfully to your family. But you were insatiable; the bride price was increased from 128,000 to 168,000, and Mr. Zhou agreed. Then you suddenly demanded 50 million and wanted half of Ms. Su Qianqian’s earnings. Do you have any shame?"
A leader is a leader—their eyes aren’t blind, and their heart is bright.
Multiple department leaders are watching this case. It must be handled justly and properly, or it shows his neglect and incompetence.
The aunt was so scolded that she was too ashamed to speak.
She realized her little tricks had long been uncovered by the authorities.
"Demanding an exorbitant bride price and resorting to force when unsuccessful, attempting to detain someone, and inciting villagers to mob Mr. Zhou and Ms. Su Qianqian, this is simply disgracing and shaming our locality. If I don’t address and punish such illegal behavior today, and instead penalize Mr. Zhou, the victim, that would indeed be my greatest failure. Upholding public order and justice, and harshly cracking down on crime is the reason we exist."
The boss of the station’s reproach was truly applaudable.
It also made Zhou Can, Su Qianqian, and Wei Fang much relieved. The most terrifying thing in the world is the absence of justice and truth.
Following that, everything became straightforward.
Zhou Can, Su Qianqian, and the others followed the rules to complete formalities and then left.
The damaged Mercedes would later be assessed and compensation sought from those who damaged it.
This confrontation made the Su family understand how formidable Zhou Can truly is.
Now, the villagers all know that Su Qianqian has become a phoenix, marrying a good man. He’s not only wealthy but also powerful, with personal strength off the charts.
They had provoked someone they couldn’t afford to mess with, leaving them only with relief.
Thankfully, they were too scared by that young man to escalate further. Look at that villager who damaged the car—got hit for nothing and has to pay over ten thousand for car repairs. It’s truly miserable.
That’s Mr. Zhou being magnanimous; otherwise, not only would they pay money, but they would also face charges for damaging others’ property.
Detention would follow.
As for Su Qianqian’s uncle’s family, they finally faced retribution.
The lightest was detained for three days, while the aunt and Su Jun were detained for fifteen days, considered the maximum penalty.
Heard that Su Jun broke up with his girlfriend.
The car he drove back that night was actually a customer’s car from the car wash he worked at, stolen for a drive.
After being detained, the car was left at home, and the truth was revealed.
The customer was furious upon learning this.
The boss not only apologized to the customer but also directly fired Su Jun. His salary was all deducted to compensate the customer.
Su Jun’s girlfriend was merely a nurse at a small clinic, but nowadays, there are more men than women, so she’s much sought after.
If Su Jun’s family wasn’t so greedy, the marriage might have already succeeded.
Because Zhou Can agreed to give 168,000 as the bride price that night. After receiving the money, the Su family could have used 128,000 as Su Jun’s marriage gift. Plus, having Su Qianqian, a star, as an elder sister, they would be respected wherever they went.
Moreover, Su Qianqian is kind-hearted and could have helped Su Jun and their family easily, leading to a good life.
Unfortunately, greed knows no bounds, like a snake trying to swallow an elephant.
The poorer and more backward people are, the less they see the big picture. Their outdated thinking, extreme greed, lack of integrity and justice, and complete lack of insight led them to ruin a winning hand into a mess.
Good and evil always have consequences. When bad actions become habitual, retribution will come sooner or later.
Zhou Can brought Su Qianqian back home to propose and completely severed ties with her uncle and aunt. He no longer included them in his plans. After discussing with Su Qianqian, they decided to get married this National Day.
...
After returning to the provincial city, Zhou Can resumed his intense study and work.
His official work tenure was approaching four years, and according to regulations, he could already take the attending physician exam. With his capability, there was no pressure in taking it.
Given his position and influence at the hospital, as long as he passed, the position of attending physician would undoubtedly be his.
His postgraduate studies were nearing completion, and once he graduated, he could immediately become a master’s graduate. The issue of education would be essentially resolved.
However, he had grander ambitions and was already considering pursuing a doctorate.
