Chapter 416

The seven patients took turns recounting their experiences, accusing Chenyang of either taking advantage of them or extorting them.

As they spoke, each person’s tone dripped with the indignation of someone who had been deeply wronged. Some of the women even began to cry.

The scene deeply moved the surrounding crowd, and filled with righteous indignation, they all turned on Chenyang and began to berate him.

“It’s just despicable! He wears a white coat and is supposed to be an angel, but in reality, he’s doing the devil’s bidding!”

“He’s not a f*cking person, he’s an animal.”

“To all the leaders here, the victims’ testimony is ironclad evidence! You have to punish this bastard Chenyang severely! You can’t let him stay in Yang City and prey on more of our people!”

“Damn him to hell! Even just shooting a guy like that isn’t enough to satisfy our hatred!”

The roars of condemnation crashed against Chenyang’s eardrums like a bursting dam. An invisible force seemed to amplify the atmosphere of grief and fury, causing the crowd’s curses to grow harsher and the expressions of the leaders to turn darker.

Some of the leaders were already clenching their fists, glaring at Chenyang. It looked as if, at any moment, they would lose their tempers and order the police to arrest him on the spot.

Even Zhang Hongtu’s gaze was now simmering with anger as he looked at Chenyang.

Seeing this, a subtle, smug smile touched Lin Jiji’s lips. In a voice only the two of them could hear, he taunted, “You really think you can go up against me? Not even in your next life.”

Chenyang replied in a low voice, “Isn’t it a bit early to be celebrating?”

“Hah. The witnesses and evidence are all here. On top of that, you’ve already incurred the public’s wrath. Under these circumstances, do you really think you can turn this around?”

“I…”

Just as Chenyang was about to retort, Yan Rongrong’s teasing voice cut in from the side. “Oh, Great Doctor Chen, are you blind, or are your tastes just that… unique?

“Those women… I mean, some of them are wearing masks and all, but you can still get a general idea. The one who said you groped her chest has to be in her forties, at least. And she’s not just old, she’s ugly as sin. Then there’s the one who said you touched her inner thigh and started ‘poking around down there’ with your finger—she can’t be a day under sixty, I’d bet.

“You can actually bring yourself to go after that kind of ‘talent’? I’m starting to wonder if you’re some kind of pervert who preys on all ages, young and old!”

Chenyang was rendered speechless with exasperation.

He muttered, “It’s one thing for them to not know the truth and just pile on, but you know I’m being framed! Why are you jumping in too?”

Yan Rongrong chuckled. “Don’t get so worked up. I’m just messing with you. Besides, even if I didn’t know the real story, I could tell these people are lying.”

“Oh? And how can you tell they aren’t telling the truth?” ℯ𝕝.

“They tell a vivid story, but if you stop and think about it, it’s not hard to find the holes in what they’re saying.

“For example, take the guy who said you stole his Rolex. I’ve seen every Rolex model there is. While wearing a watch for a long time does leave a mark on the wrist, the mark a Rolex leaves is different from the one on that man’s wrist.

“And for another example, the woman who said you used her phone to ‘make a call’ and transferred money to yourself—that story has an even bigger hole. She just said she transferred the money to your phone using a ‘red packet,’ but anyone who uses a smartphone knows that you can’t transfer eighty thousand yuan with any app’s red packet feature.”

An Xiaoqing, who had walked up right behind her, added, “And that woman who said you groped her chest to check her internal organs? That’s even more laughable.

“Anyone with a shred of medical knowledge knows that a severe blow to the torso would cause pain over the heart, but her only injury was to her arm. Even if you needed to check for internal damage from that, you’d check for broken ribs.

“A layperson might confuse these basic facts, but as a doctor, even if you wanted to take advantage of someone, you’d never use such a clumsy and illogical excuse.”

Chenyang smiled. “You two are pretty observant.”

“Of course. We’re on your side, so naturally we’re going to keep an eye on the words and actions of these schemers,” An Xiaoqing said with a smile. “To be honest, we weren’t paying that close attention at first. It was something Angie said that sparked the idea, which is how we noticed all these holes.”

Chenyang asked curiously, “What did Sister Angie say?”
