Free Web NovelChapter 1033: Chapter 765: Trust
That damned TCM quack is really getting off cheap!
But this also made her see a business opportunity.
Right now, the popularity of Xia Liang’s livestream room had hit ten million; you could say this stream had completely blown up on Baoya!
And she, Lemon Essence, along with this group of kids, had also indirectly blown up on Baoya.
If, after this stream, she hurried to strike while the iron was hot, opened an anchor account on Baoya, and used Xiao Bao and the others’ identities to "sell misery," the returns would definitely be huge.
Thinking of this, Lemon Essence could practically see an endless flow of money pouring into her pockets.
She had no idea that after this stream, she might never have the chance to go online again.
As long as Xia Liang filed a report, with the monstrous crimes she’d committed, even the death penalty was possible.
Even if it wasn’t the death penalty, it’d be life!
Her future days would only be spent behind iron bars!
But right before destruction, people often tend to go even more insane.
"Everyone, calm down a bit, control yourselves, stop sending gifts. I already said, I’ll pay their consultation fees, I’ll cover the medicine too. I can still afford this money."
Seeing countless viewers in the livestream room almost losing their minds tipping, Xia Liang hurriedly spoke up to stop them.
These netizens were adorable and kind; he couldn’t let their kindness be drained like this, or it would only hurt them even more!
However, at this moment, the viewers weren’t going to listen to Xia Liang’s advice at all; they were completely fired up!
"Doctor Xia, say no more, we’re doing this willingly!"
"Yeah, Doctor Xia, these gifts aren’t for you, they’re for those kids’ medicine..."
"This is the only thing we can do for these children. Please, Doctor Xia, don’t turn it down."
"Yeah, yeah, their lives are way too miserable. I really can’t stand seeing kids sick, especially with these kinds of toxic sores and severe ulcers. I’ve had this kind of illness; I can feel their pain and torment."
Seeing this, Xia Liang could only sigh inwardly. Since the viewers were so enthusiastic, he couldn’t keep stopping them; otherwise he’d seem a bit too distant.
"Okay, I’m going to the restroom; I’ll be back in a bit."
After saying that, Xia Liang left the camera.
He’d been sitting in front of the camera for several hours already, and had been drinking tea the whole time; the fact he’d held it in until now was already impressive.
The viewers in the livestream room, as well as Lemon Essence and the others, didn’t suspect anything.
After going to the restroom, Xia Liang relieved himself, then used the opportunity to directly dial the police.
The location information Chen Ran had sent showed that Lemon Essence and the others were in Coastal City, a coastal area and a developed city, with a rather chaotic environment.
The call connected quickly. Once the dispatcher heard Xia Liang’s account, they immediately took it seriously.
After all, during this period, Coastal City was carrying out a special campaign to crack down on illegal and criminal activities.
At a time like this, Xia Liang’s call was basically delivering performance numbers to them; who wouldn’t like that?
Moreover, when they heard Xia Liang say that it involved a child trafficking crime ring, they became even more excited and furious. This kind of thing was something everyone utterly loathed!
"I can only buy you thirty minutes at most. I hope you can quickly come up with an arrest plan. I can’t stall them for too long on my side!"
Xia Liang said.
"Don’t worry, half an hour is enough. Thank you for your call. If the situation is confirmed, after the case is wrapped up, we’ll give you a generous reward."
The dispatcher said quickly. ƒгeewёbnovel.com
"No need for a reward. If you really have to give one, then donate the money to a local children’s charity in my name!"
Xia Liang said.
"Alright, no problem."
The dispatcher replied quickly.
A model citizen like this was really hard to come by.
But in this society, there are still people like him quietly safeguarding public security.
The dispatcher hung up and thought this to himself.
Thirty minutes later, Xia Liang returned to the camera again.
He couldn’t stay in the restroom too long—that would easily arouse suspicion—and half an hour was exactly the maximum time he’d mentioned to the Coastal City dispatcher.
"Sorry, my stomach was upset, so I took a bit longer. Kept everyone waiting."
Sitting back at the table, Xia Liang said apologetically.
"It’s alright, Doctor Xia’s health comes first. While treating us, you also have to take care of yourself!"
"Yeah, if you get sick, we’ll feel even worse."
"Maybe you ate something bad. That’s normal. Some restaurants these days really have terrible hygiene in their food."
"Last time I ordered takeout, damn, a plate of crayfish tails had me vomiting and having diarrhea for days, almost sent me to the afterlife."
Seeing the barrage from the viewers, Xia Liang nodded in satisfaction. Now he didn’t even need to come up with an excuse; the comments alone were enough to dispel any suspicions in Lemon Essence’s mind!
Sure enough, he heard Lemon Essence laugh and say,
"It’s fine, Doctor Xia, your health is the most important. Xiao Jun and the others are still counting on you to treat them. And your medical skills are so amazing, lots of people need you, so you must pay attention to food hygiene."
Xia Liang gave a faint smile.
"Thanks, I’ll definitely be careful from now on."
Lemon Essence nodded, then said,
"So can you prescribe the medicine for Xiao Jun and the others now? Doctor Xia, I’m not trying to rush you; I just feel like the sooner they get their medicine, the sooner they can break free from the grip of illness."
Xia Liang smiled slightly and said,
"Mm, no rush, let me check the time first."
As he spoke, Xia Liang picked up his phone and looked at it.
At this moment, the viewers in the livestream room and Lemon Essence were all puzzled by this move of his.
What does prescribing medicine have to do with checking the time?
Could it be that you have to pick an auspicious time to write a prescription too?
But since Doctor Xia said so, there had to be a reason behind it.
Xia Liang checked the time; thirty-four minutes had already passed. The police in Coastal City should have finished setting up by now.
However, he still needed to come up with a way to get Lemon Essence and the other criminals in the room out of there.
Otherwise, once the police launched a raid, if these vicious bastards grabbed one or two kids as hostages, it would be a big problem.
"No way, you even have to pick a time to write a prescription?"
"Yeah. When Doctor Xia treated other people before, I never saw him checking the time to prescribe medicine."
"This is different. Can’t you see it’s more than ten kids this time?"
"Yeah, there’s probably some deeper considerations here."
The viewers in the livestream room were all baffled.
But who was Xia Liang? He was a miracle doctor; even terminal illnesses that Western medicine couldn’t cure had been cured by him!
So even though many people were confused, they still chose to trust Xia Liang.
