Chapter 4

Author: Falling Snow
“The police didn’t even manage to trace it. Who do you think you are?

“I’m telling you, don’t push your luck.

“Once Greg’s here, you won’t even get that hundred thousand dollars!”

Just when she said that, someone opened the door.

A middle-aged man dressed in a tailor-made suit walked in.

Two lawyers holding their work bags followed behind him.

He had a broad figure and looked imposing.

It was Greg.

“Greg! You’re finally here!”

Mary immediately put on a pitiful look and threw herself at Greg.

“This person is bullying me and Charlie! He’s threatening to send Charlie to jail!

“Help us!”

Greg patted her back and swept his dark eyes across the room.

Finally, his eyes landed on me. He looked at me as though I was just a bug he could squish.

“It’s you?”

He walked toward me and looked down.

“Young man, don’t be so rash.

“He’s just an immature child. It’s a small matter.

“I’ll pay for all medical expenses and give you another two hundred thousand dollars for emotional compensation.

“That will be the end of it.”

He was not trying to discuss matters with me. Those are directives.

It was the type of arrogance that stemmed from holding a high position.

The lawyer next to him immediately passed me an agreement.

“Just sign it, it’s for the better.”

Greg lit a cigarette and ignored the no smoking sign on the wall.

The police officer frowned. He wanted to speak, but Greg silenced him with a look.

It was obvious what money could do.

I looked at the family before me and studied the smug looks on their faces.

I was extremely furious.

“What if I don’t sign it?”

I looked up and met Greg’s eyes.

Greg was momentarily stunned. He had not expected me to reject him.

He blew a ring of smoke at my face.

“No?”

He laughed cruelly.

“Young man, do you know who I am? I’m the CEO of Kind Hospital.

“I have many ways to make life extremely difficult for you in this city.

“Do you believe that you’ll get fired by your company tomorrow? Do you believe that you won’t be able to even find a place to stay?”

He leaned in and lowered his voice as he said viciously, “The police won’t find any information on that needle. Even if they do, it’s just regular medical waste.

“I’ll give you some money, and you’ll just have to spend a few days in jail. If you don’t agree to it, I can assure you that you’ll regret this for the rest of your life.”

He was blatantly threatening me.

He did not care if that needle was infected.

He only cared about his reputation and his son’s freedom.

To him, an average person like me was nothing.

I clenched my fists as my fingernails dug into my palms.

The pain kept me thinking straight.

“Mr. Smith, how arrogant you are.”

I stood up and tore the check worth two hundred thousand dollars into pieces.

Then, I threw the pieces at Greg’s face.

“Save the money for your son’s coffin. I believe in justice.

“I don’t believe you’ll be able to cover up what’s in that needle!”

Greg’s face darkened immediately.

He raised his hand as if he wanted to hit me.

“How dare you?”

At the same time, someone knocked.

A forensic doctor walked in with a report.

His expression was solemn. He even seemed a little terrified.

“Officer Swift, the lab results of that needle are out.”

    They said in unison. They sounded sweet, but it was terrifying. A few young police officers turned around to throw up. Peter started to tear up. He rushed forward and grabbed Greg’s collar. Then, he punched him. “Jerk!“What a complete jerk!”Greg’s mouth started to bleed but he was still smiling. “They’re happy. They’re not suffering, and they don’t have any troubles.“They only belong to me. “This is art! It’s perfect art!” He was completely insane. It was completely inhumane. He had turned these young women into his personal toys. I looked at those young women. They were only in their early twenties. Their lives were just starting. However, they were trapped in this dungeon. I recalled what Charlie had said. “The pretty lady fell asleep after the jab, just like sleeping beauty.”It turned out that this was what he was referring to. I felt very sad. I was sad for these young women and this despicable world. “Bring them all away!“Seal this pla

    “Do you have evidence?” I asked. The other person sent me a blurry photo. It had been taken near the lift entrance. Greg was holding a young woman who had a blank expression into the lift. That young woman looked like an expressionless puppet. The lift button that was lit up was the underground floor. Even though Greg’s face could not be clearly seen, the limited-edition gold watch on his wrist was apparent. It was concrete evidence. I immediately sent that photo to Peter. At the same time, I uploaded the photo online. I wrote a caption. [Is this the so-called good doctor? Is this so-called transfer to a different hospital?[Mr. Smith, what are you hiding in the hospital’s underground?]That photo was the straw that broke the camel’s back. Everyone online was shocked. Numerous netizens started to tag the police forces and requested them to look into Kindness Hospital. Big media outlets started to report on the incident. One of the big newspaper outlets comment

    I titled the article: The CEO of Kindness Hospital, Greg Smith, turned a person into a puppet using Angel’s Kiss!I coupled it with a photo of the bloody needle and my medical report. I also quoted Charlie’s words at the police station. “The pretty lady became a sleeping beauty after the jab.”I did not exaggerate anything. I was only recounting the story. It was a story that involved a cinema, a rude child, and a powerful CEO. In the end, I tagged the hospital and all major media outlets. Then, I added a final sentence: If I’m dead, this is my last letter.After that, I hit send. The article immediately blew up online. It grew faster than I had expected. Within an hour, I had more than a hundred thousand shares. The hashtags on the poisoned needle, Greg, the Angel’s Kiss, as well as the puppet had gone viral. Everyone was commenting fervently. [Oh my God! If this is true, this is basically a horror film in real life!][Kindness Hospital? I visited there last we

    I finally felt alive. “But…”He then put on a serious expression. “We found a rare chemical in your blood. “There isn’t a name for it on the market.“However, in the black market, the name of it is ‘Angel’s Kiss’.”Angel’s Kiss? It sounded beautiful, but I could not help but shiver. “It’s an experimental drug that can control someone’s nervous system.“Its main purpose is to brainwash someone. With a large dosage, the person will lose consciousness and become a puppet.“Besides, it’s very quickly metabolized, so it’s hard to detect. If we hadn’t been using the latest equipment, we wouldn’t have been able to detect it.” I fell silent. It was a brainwashing drug. No wonder Charlie said that after the jab, that pretty lady became a sleeping beauty. No wonder Greg was so arrogant. He was holding a weapon that could control someone’s consciousness! He could run a cult!“Thank you, doctor.”I stood up and thanked the doctor sincerely. After I left the hospital, I f

    “Mr. Conrad, say something! Bail me out!” The smug lawyer, Mr. Conrad, pretended to look at his phone instead. No one dared to take up such a case. I stood aside and watched the scene. I did not feel sympathy. I just felt a thrill from taking revenge, and a deep fear. If I had not spoken up earlier, I would have died randomly a few days later. No one would be able to pinpoint the cause. “Mr. Smith.”I walked toward Greg. I bent down and looked at his bloodshot eyes. “You were saying that getting rid of me is as easy as squashing an ant. It seems like this ant is rather tenacious.“On the other hand, a lion like you is going to fall to your death.”Greg stared intently at me. The viciousness was leaking from his eyes. “Young man, don’t get cocky. Do you think this is the end of it?“You have no idea who you’ve offended.“The people behind this would make sure you meet the end of your life!” He was still threatening me, but I was no longer afraid. I had already

    Mary stopped crying, and Charlie stopped drinking his milk. I held my breath. The forensic doctor, Dr. White, glanced at Greg and then me. He gulped and said with a trembling voice. “It’s not AIDS.”Greg let out a sigh of relief and put on a smug smile. “I’ve told you—”“But!” Dr. White interrupted him and raised his voice. “The remaining liquid in the tube had a high concentration of tetrodotoxin.“It’s the latest banned drug.“The combination usually only appears in illegal labs.”Greg’s smile froze, and color drained from his face. Mary did not understand. She was still asking, “What tetrodotoxin? What medicine is that?”However, I understood. So did the police officers. It was no longer a simple assault case. It involved the manufacturing of illegal drugs. I laughed when I saw Greg’s fallen expression. Peter’s eyes immediately changed. His gaze immediately turned sharp. He stood up and pressed his hand on the gun against his waist. “Lock the door!“
