Chen Xiaobei walked up to the two boys and began treating them.

In a mere than 10 minutes, they were completely cured.

“Just like Xiao Qi, their illneses are very common. Lu Yiju merely used these kids for money!” Chen Xiaobei announced.

Everyone looked at Lu Yiju with burning anger.

“Hey, Lu!” Miao Yiyue said fiercely, “I will dig deep into this matter! I will make you pay for every single cent you took!”

“I…”

Liu Yiju was on the verge of hyperventilating. He had taken everything so brazenly that he pocketed almost everything!

He injected the children with a harmless mix of glucose and saline. Even the tests and checkups he did on the kids were just for show to confuse the kids.

Even after so long, the hospital had no record of the accounts. All they needed to do was look and they would be able to find the loopholes immediately.

Lu Yiju could not say another word to save his ass.

“If you don’t speak, we’ll take your silence as your confession!” Miao Yiyue said icily, “Come with me. You’re going to the Silver Plume’s jail!”

“Don’t… Master Miao, let’s talk… Don’t send me there… Please don’t… I beg you…”

Lu Yiju managed to stutter out a few words.

“I have nothing to discuss with you! You are the one who committed this disgusting crime! So, you must bear the consequences all by yourself!”

Miao Yiyue did not waver.

Lu Yiju turned around and begged Wenren Muyue, “Ms. Wenren… You are kind and forgiving… Please pardon me just this once… I beg you…”

Although this woman had the heart of the bodhisattva, right now, she was consumed with anger.

“You have already exploited my kindness! You have no right to beg me for forgiveness!”

Chen Xiaobei’s opinion of Wenren Muyue changed a little.

He had thought that this woman was a typical Madonna. He had never taken her for an assertive woman with strong principles who would not cave in and acquit those who did not deserve it!

“Sister Muyue is right! We cannot pardon this bad crook!”

The boys punched the air angrily.

“Brother Yiyue! You must lock him up in Silver Plume’s jail! He’s caused us so much trouble already, we cannot let him do the same to others!” Xiao Qi said, her arms folded.

Having heard that, every person in the room was outraged by Lu Yiju’s heartless, indecorous, unethical, indiscriminate behavior. No one would forgive him.

Seeing that the culprit would be appropriately punished, Chen Xiaobei felt a sense of relief.

Lu Yiju, however, took out his phone and said, “Master Miao! Please don’t apprehend me just yet! Let me make a phone call. I guarantee you will change your mind!”

“Impossible! I will get you today, no matter what!” Miao Yiyue was resolute.

Lu Yiju’s fingers flew across the keyboard on his phone, the number he dialed was not in his contact list. He had memorized it anyway.

The call went through.

Lu Yiju cried out, “Dad! Save me… You have to save me! Miao Yiyue wants to lock me up in the lieutenant general’s dungeon… How can I suffer like that… Dad…”

Lu Yiju kept calling out to his dad.

That which was a very strange thing!

Why was his father’s phone number not recorded in his contact list? Why would he have to memorize it?

“Dad… You never really cared much for me all this while… You didn’t even recognize me as your son back in the inner city. This time, you have to save me…” Lu Yiju begged.

It all made sense now. This outer city’s doctor had a noble father in the inner city.

But his father had disowned him even keeping their relationship a secret.

He was actually an illegitimate child!

It was only because of this secret identity that he had, had Lu Yiju the balls to double-cross Wenren Muyue and Miao Yiyue.

Only because they had Lu Yiju, the hospital closed one eye, and tolerated Lu Yiju’s corruption.

Based on the value of the items in Northern Wilderness Starfield, the amount of donations Lu Yiju had taken were about a few hundred thousand low-grade Spiritual Stones,

“Alright… Alright…. Hold on, dad. I’ll pass the phone to Miao Yiyue…”

Lu Yiju handed the phone over to Miao Yiyue and said, “Master Miao, my father wants to talk to you! Take the call…”

Miao Yiyue looked irresolute.

He did not want to take the call but he was afraid that the person on the other side of the line was some pivotal figure.

Things were very complicated in the inner city. One false move could affect everything! Miao Yiyue was worried that he might offend someone he should not. It could destroy everything!

“Alright! I want to hear what your father has to say.”

Miao Yiyue decided to speak to Lu Yiju’s father.

A deep, measured voice greeted him, “Yiyue, I am your Uncle Lu.”

“Un… Uncle Lu… It’s… It’s you…”

It took Miao Yiyue a minute to catch his breath for it felt like his world had overturned.

How could a powerful individual like him from the inner city could have a son like Lu Yiju?!

It was unfathomable!

“It’s Uncle Lu?”

Wenren Muyue could not imagine that things would take such a dramatic turn!

Those that Wenren Muyue and Miao Yiyue would call ‘uncle’ must be a top-tier noble and had the same family background as they did!

“Yiyue, I believe that the misunderstanding between you and Yiju is his fault!”

Then Uncle Lu who was on the phone said, “Whether he needs to pay back or apologize, I will make him do whatever you want! There’s no need to get him to the lieutenant general’s place. It won’t be good for either of us if news got out. It’s better to keep it to ourselves! What do you think?”

“This…”

Miao Yiyue did not know what to do or say.

Only half a minute ago, everyone, including the kids, were adamant that Lu Yiju had to be severely punished. Now, this phone call changed everything.

The other party had humbled themselves and showed their utmost sincerity, thus making it difficult for Miao Yiyue to make a final decision.

However, if Lu Yiju was let off the hook like that, the children would be very disappointed. Miao Yiyue would not know what to explain to them!

He had just declared that they must capture Lu Yiju for what he had done. If he changed his mind now, he would be going against what he had promised.

Miao Yiyue felt like he had fallen into a trap, as if whatever decision he made would be a wrong one.

“Yiyue, think about the bigger picture…”

Wenren Muyue was the one who made the choice.

Chen XIaobei felt a great disappointment at this statement.

Let Lu Yiju off? No way!
