172 We Are Bad People, We Have No Morals
The cries in the ward shook the sky, and the door was blocked by the onlookers.
Che Xuesong had a good impression of Luo Feng. He was worried that the two young people would ignore the importance of public opinion, so he gave them a look.
The three of them parted the crowd and walked into the hidden fire escape.
Che Xuesong said, “Are you still going to sue them? Actually, I suggest you stop while you’re ahead. If they really risk their lives, I’m afraid it will be even harder to stop.”
Luo Feng did not say anything and only looked at Che Xuesong quietly.
“I’m telling you the worst outcome,” Che Xuesong explained. “In this situation, you can say that you’ve won completely. If you continue to pursue the matter, I’m afraid the public opinion will turn around. Being scolded might only be a small matter.”
He had been in the news industry for many years. In recent years, Luo Feng’s actions could easily be misinterpreted by people with ulterior motives. Luo Feng was a rich person and faced an old woman in her seventies or eighties after all.
The audience did not care about the cause and effect. It was very easy for them to take on the role of an old person.
Luo Feng naturally understood.
The current trend was that whoever was old was right, and whoever was weak was right. Moreover, this trend might continue for several years.
Che Xuesong had seen too much and was deeply touched by this matter. He also sincerely reminded Luo Feng and Hao Yingqiang to prevent the two young and impetuous people from fighting for a moment of victory and delaying their future.
Luo Feng did not express his stance. Instead, he looked at Hao Yingqiang.
Hao Yingqiang clenched his fists indignantly and was also not in a hurry to speak. He was not an unreasonable person. This time, the other party had gone too far. He was very conflicted. He did not want to let the bad guy off or cause trouble for Luo Feng.
Luo Feng looked at his expression and already knew what Hao Yingqiang was thinking.
“We can’t just let it go,” Luo Feng said.
“What?” Che Xuesong and Hao Yingqiang looked at Luo Feng at the same time, their faces filled with surprise. Hao Yingqiang looked worried and worried about Luo Feng.
“Do you think it’s worse to have one more pitiful bad person in this world or to have one less group of warm-hearted good people?” Luo Feng looked at the two of them.
How could Che Xuesong not understand what Luo Feng meant? He shook his head and sighed. Since he had already said that, the rest would depend on Luo Feng’s methods.
The three of them explained the situation and prepared to return to the ward.
On the way, Luo Feng said to Che Xuesong, “Please give Hao Yingqiang an alias when you report. The most important thing is still in the company’s name.”
When Hao Yingqiang heard this, he revealed a grateful expression. He understood that Luo Feng was protecting him. Otherwise, as a student, he would have to endure unimaginable public opinion.
At this moment, the ward was already filled with people. Other than the other patients who were watching the commotion, there were also doctors and nurses. Even the security guards had arrived.
When the woman saw that the person involved, Hao Yingqiang, and the person in charge, Luo Feng, would be here, her emotions suddenly exploded. She abandoned her crying mother and rushed to the window sill, one foot already stepping out.
“We’re honest people in our family. We don’t have money, so we can only let you bully us. If you force me again today, I’ll jump down from here!” The woman cried even harder.
She did not know if she had frightened Luo Feng and the others, but it must have frightened the doctors and nurses who came to the entire family.
If this person wanted to jump, no matter what the reason was, the hospital would definitely be responsible.
“Don’t jump, don’t jump! We’re on the fourth floor!”
“Come down first. Let’s talk things out!”
The doctors and nurses spoke in groups, afraid that the woman would really take things too hard.
Seeing that more and more people were watching and many of them were worried about her, the woman was secretly delighted. She did not believe that Luo Feng could force her to jump off a building with so many people watching.
A few brave nurses and doctors wanted to pull the woman, but the woman clung to the window frame and refused to come down. She shouted, “They want me to die! They want to force me to die! I’ll die here today!”
Gradually, every corner of the ward was filled with onlookers.
The more people came, the louder the woman’s voice became. She repeated the injustice she thought she had suffered over and over again. In short, she said, “Ask Luo Feng to forgive them. Don’t hold them accountable.”
She made her family sound especially pitiful, said that the blackmailers were old people who remembered wrongly, and said that Luo Feng and the others were unreasonable.
In short, they were as pitiful as they could be.
Some people who did not know the truth could not bear it and stood up to speak up for the woman.
“It’s fine as long as the misunderstanding is cleared up. Don’t really kill anyone.”
“That’s right. Look at how pitiful they are.”
“Young people, you should be lenient wherever possible. You will grow old one day.”
“How pitiful. How could he have the heart to force her like this…”
More and more people were persuading him, and Che Xuesong’s expression became more and more unsightly. Being coerced by the crowd, he seemed to have become an accomplice in oppressing ordinary people.
He knew that gossip was scary. He was most afraid of encountering such a thing.
At this moment, a middle-aged man stood up and sized up Luo Feng and the other students with the disdain of an elder. In the end, he shook his head in disdain.
“He’s about to jump off a building, but you’re still being aggressive. You look young, but why are you so ruthless?” the middle-aged man said to Luo Feng. It was obvious that he was here to uphold justice.
Luo Feng looked at him in surprise. Before he could say anything, Ai Tingya suddenly took a step forward. “Then, Sir, what do you think we should do?”
“What to do?” The middle-aged man looked like he had been through this before. He said arrogantly, “Of course, we should take a step back. We have to be kind, understand?”
“Oh.” Ai Tingya dragged out her words and nodded meaningfully.
She looked like she had been convinced by the man.
After teaching the obedient and beautiful young lady, the man became even more smug. “As a person, we have to be lenient where possible. Besides, this old lady is already so old. Her mind is a little muddled. What’s wrong with us understanding it? It’s not easy for everyone. We have to help as much as we can.”
“Yes, yes, yes.” Ai Tingya was even more convinced. “You’re so kind-hearted. Listening to your words is better than studying for ten years.”
These two sentences almost made the middle-aged man fly into the sky. He felt that he could still educate him more, so he said, “Of course! I’ve walked for decades more than you. If it were me, I would definitely pay for the medical fees. All of you are still university students. You should train more like me. Don’t spend all your time reading books in school. Be more compassionate.”
Ai Tingya had been waiting for this sentence. She applauded and said, “Sir, you’re really a role model for us. We agree that you would pay on their behalf.”
“Ah… Ah?” The middle-aged man’s mouth widened and he stood rooted to the ground.
Ai Tingya said, “You said it yourself. My classmates helped them to pay for their medical bills first. Now that you’ve said it, we’re too embarrassed to ask them for it. This is an old person, after all. However, since you’re willing, we’ll give you this opportunity to show our love first. You have to set an example.”
