Chapter 912: Chapter 914 Step by Step

When those people saw Xiao Yifei return, they immediately surrounded him, handing over their prescriptions and asking, "Doctor Xiao Yifei, could you take a look at this prescription? Why hasn’t my child’s condition improved after taking this medicine? Is this prescription fake?"

Xiao Yifei took the prescription, pretended to study it carefully, and then said to the hopeful relatives of the patients, "This prescription is just a regular supplement-like formula, which has no effect on treating diseases; it’s only for nourishing the body. Where did you get this prescription?"

"We bought it from a doctor who said this prescription could treat the virus this time. He seemed very genuine, even showing us his Medical Practitioner Qualification Certificate, so that’s why we bought it."

"What should we do now? We spent so much money on this prescription, and it turns out to be fake. What are we supposed to do? That scammer must have run away by now, and we have no place to find him." Hearing that the prescription is useless for treatment, everyone started to complain.

"Don’t worry, I’m sure we can find that person. I took a picture of the person selling the prescription on my phone. Let’s go to the police; once we report it, we can definitely track him down." noveldrama

Xiao Yifei glanced at the photo on that person’s phone and saw that it was indeed Zheng Peng. He then asked them, "Are you sure this is the person who sold you the prescription? I know him; I used to work with him. He’s Zheng Peng. You should report this to the police now."

After Xiao Yifei finished speaking, those people felt as if they’d found a way out, thanked him, and left immediately. Xiao Yifei guessed they were going to report it to the police.

Xiao Yifei revealed a smug smile, thinking that his plan this time was quite masterful. Relying merely on a fake prescription, he managed to clear his own name.

During this time, Hu Jingtang also called to inquire about the research process of the prescription. Xiao Yifei still said there was no progress, but the day to prove his innocence was imminent.

Hu Jingtang reminded him, "Although your reputation is important, don’t forget to conduct medical research. So many patients are waiting for you, and the higher-ups are surely waiting too."

After hanging up the phone, Xiao Yifei realized this issue. It seemed he had focused too much time on other matters these past days, but he really had no ideas regarding the prescription. How was it that even those senior Chinese Medicine practitioners had no ideas? Lately, Xiao Yifei had been tormented by this virus, as if every dream were filled with various viruses attacking him.

He really hoped this period could pass quickly; the suffering was truly unbearable.

Xiao Yifei went to the director’s office and said, "Director, I know who stole my prescription and sold it. The patient’s family took a photo, and I discovered that person is Zheng Peng."

The director slammed the table in anger upon hearing this news, shouting, "Zheng Peng again? Why doesn’t he ever stop haunting us? I thought he’d calm down after being fired from the hospital, but why is he still involved with our hospital now?"

"Director, you’ve overlooked a critical issue. Zheng Peng is no longer in our hospital, so there must be someone else cooperating with him who stole the prescription and then had Zheng Peng sell it."

Xiao Yifei pointed out.

"Enough, I can almost guess who that person is who stole the prescription. You should go report it now and get Zheng Peng apprehended." Always composed and graceful, even the director was unsteady this time.

"I don’t need to report it; surely those other patient relatives have already reported it. They just came to me, saying their conditions didn’t improve after taking the medicine, and they’ve finally realized they were scammed. Now, they are clamoring to report it and get Zheng Peng arrested. I don’t think Zheng Peng or his accomplice will escape this time," Xiao Yifei said.

The director pondered that this matter seemed strange, then suddenly had a thought.

He asked Xiao Yifei, "Did you set up the theft of the prescription this time, tricking them into your trap?"

"I wouldn’t say I planned it entirely, but I had some relation to it," Xiao Yifei said hesitantly. Despite his good intentions, it wasn’t fair to the patients. So, when the director asked him, he felt a little guilty.

"I know the grievances you’ve suffered. This time, let’s pretend I don’t know anything. As long as what you do isn’t too outrageous, I’ll overlook it. But such things can only happen once; if it happens again, I won’t act as if nothing happened," the director said slowly.

Xiao Yifei nodded and left the director’s office. He also knew that such things could only happen once, and he felt uneasy about it, but there was no better choice.

An hour after the call to the police, Zheng Peng was already sitting in the interrogation room at the Police Department. An older-looking police officer asked, "You’ve been reported for selling fake prescriptions at high prices, disturbing the market order. Is this true?"

Seeing the authoritative police officer, Zheng Peng trembled with fear. Didn’t Sun Xingyao tell him nothing would happen this time? How come, within just two days, he got caught by the police?

"Po...Police Officer, I sold real prescriptions given to me by a doctor friend. Am I the only one caught this time?" Zheng Peng stammered, still worried whether Sun Xingyao was brought in with him.

"Whether you sold real or fake prescriptions, you’re not a hospital, and illegal trading of medicines is a crime. It seems you have accomplices; even when drowning, you didn’t forget to drag someone down with you," the police officer joked with him.

Upon hearing the word "drowning," Zheng Peng shook with fear again. He’d seen such news before, where healthcare workers, exploiting their positions, engaged in risky conduct, and if caught, the punishment was severe.

Zheng Peng never expected such an incident would fall upon him.

But didn’t Sun Xingyao assure him there were no issues with the prescription? He felt Sun Xingyao had tricked him again. No wonder they agreed to go sell the medicine together, but Sun Xingyao bailed out with an excuse. Zheng Peng was pleased then, thinking he could earn more, yet he had walked right into Sun Xingyao’s trap.

"I really didn’t deceive you, Police Officer. Truly, it was someone I knew at the hospital who gave me the prescription; otherwise, I couldn’t have gotten it. I’m just an average person who hardly goes to a hospital throughout the year. I’m telling the truth." Zheng Peng tried hard to explain.

The police officer pulled up Zheng Peng’s file from the computer, finding that this person used to be a doctor and was at the Police Department for the second time already within a few short years. It seemed he was a repeat offender, instantly giving the officer a bad impression of Zheng Peng.
