Farming Space Makes Me Rich

Chapter 518: The Truth is Out

This woman’s aura was so strong. Not only did she call the police, but she also wanted to go to the hospital with the police to visit the victim.

Xiao Lingyu smiled and said sincerely, “Mrs. Lin, I wish to pay your husband a visit. Is that okay?”

Lin Xiufang was shrewd and fierce when she faced Zeng Qinghua and his wife. However, when she faced Xiao Lingyu, she became timid. She could not help but take a few steps back.

Then, she hesitated, “I... I don’t think it’s necessary.” If they went to the hospital, everything would be exposed. Her husband was indeed in the hospital. However, he was not ill at all. Her employer had bribed a familiar doctor and created a fake patient list.

“How is it not necessary? Which hospital is Uncle staying in? I don’t have many connections, but I do know a few doctors because I’ve worked in City Z in the past. I know Director Zhang from the First Hospital and vice director Li from the Second Hospital.” Xiao Lingyu nodded, “Oh, I also know Director Chen from the Central Hospital. Which hospital and ward is uncle staying in? I’ll give them a call and have them arrange a single VIP ward for uncle. After all, he’s there because of my produce. I have to be responsible, right? Don’t worry. We’ll pay for everything.”

With that, Xiao Lingyu took out her latest high-end smartphone and pretended to make a call. She thought of something and looked at Lin Xiufang, “By the way, Auntie, which hospital and ward is uncle staying in?”

Everyone, “...”

The way they looked at Xiao Lingyu changed. She knew basically all the important directors at all the important hospitals. How was that having no connections?

Xiao Lingyu didn’t argue with Lin Xiufang. Everything she said was with the sincerity of trying to apologize to the victim. Normally, a real patient would accept it. After all, a good hospital and a good doctor would definitely allow the patient to recover faster.

However, when Lin Xiufang heard these words, she felt a chill down her spine. A sense of panic welled up in her heart. The guilt and panic on her face were also displayed.

When the crowd saw this, they understood everything.

This woman obviously had a guilty conscience.

Someone in the crowd said loudly, “That’s right, Madam. The boss is very sincere. She will find a very good doctor for your husband. After all, the patient’s situation is the most important. You better tell the boss which hospital and ward your husband is in.”

Qiao Shiliang watched from the side. His entire face was dripping with black ink. His hands were clenched into fists, and his veins were throbbing violently. He felt both indignant and resentful.

He did not expect Zeng Qinghua to call this woman over. Moreover, she came so quickly.

Once she came, her attitude was clear and sincere. Her actions looked soft, but they hit harder than an iron rod. This was not easy to deal with. If one was not careful, one would fall into a trap again.

Qiao Shiliang’s angry gaze was so obvious that Xiao Lingyu couldn’t pretend not to notice him.

Xiao Lingyu looked at Qiao Shiliang and raised her eyes. She greeted him with a smile, “Boss Qiao, you are here too!”

Qiao Shiliang was stunned. He did not expect Xiao Lingyu to suddenly greet him. He couldn’t pretend not to know her.

Qiao Shiliang could only bite the bullet and respond to Xiao Lingyu with a fake smile, “Boss Xiao!”

The Lady Boss pretended to be confused and asked, “Boss Xiao, so you know Boss Qiao too?”

Xiao Lingyu nodded. “I do. We have met once. He came to Taoyuan Village with Boss Zeng to discuss a collaboration with me. However, the collaboration didn’t succeed.” In fact, the man was kicked out by Gong Tianhao’s guards.

Boss Li and Boss Zhang looked at Qiao Shiliang in disbelief. ‘Fuck, so it turns out Qiao Shiliang is merely using us to take revenge. Plus, how can he not tell us when there’s gold to be earned?’

The surrounding people heard everything Xiao Lingyu said. They understood that Boss Xiao and Boss Qiao tried to negotiate a business deal, but the deal failed.

Now, everything was clear. Boss Qiao was probably related to Mrs. Lin, who came to cause trouble. The smell of conspiracy was thick in the air.

“Mrs. Lin, do you need so long to remember the hospital and ward your husband is in?” Xiao Lingyu turned her head and began to urge her again.

At this moment, Zeng Qinghua came over and said, “Boss Xiao, I just called the police. The police will arrive in five minutes.”

Xiao Lingyu nodded and said, “Mrs. Lin, don’t worry. When the people from the police station arrive, we will cooperate with the investigation. Then, we will go to the hospital to visit the patient with the police officers. As I said, if it is really our responsibility, we will not shirk it. We have many witnesses.”

When Lin Xiufang heard that the police officer would arrive in five minutes, her face turned pale instantly. The panic on her face became even more intense, and cold sweat dripped down her forehead. When she heard Xiao Lingyu say that they would go to the hospital together, she was even more flustered and did not know what to do.

However, the woman was trained. After a moment of panic, she immediately calmed down.

Then, she immediately placed her hands on her hips and said loudly, “I know what you’re doing. You’re threatening me, right? It’s clear that you have a sinister intention. You’re going to arrange a new ward for my husband, and then, have the doctors you know swap out his patient’s list, right? How vicious is your heart?!”

The crowd, “...” This woman is really something else.

Qiao Shiliang’s heart that had been lifted slightly fell back.

He also did not expect this woman to have some brains. She had recovered so quickly. Thankfully, she didn’t fall into another trap.

When Xiao Lingyu heard this, the corners of her lips curved up. She smiled and said, “Mrs. Lin, why would you think that? Fine. If you don’t trust me, you can trust the police, right?

“We’ll go to the hospital together with the police, and we’ll conduct the physical examination in their presence. We’ll change the ward after we gain their permission. Can you trust me now? Do you think I’m powerful enough to bribe the police in front of so many people?” Xiao Lingyu sighed helplessly.

Everyone, “...”

Lin Xiufang, “...”

This time, there was no reason for her to refuse.

If she refused again, it was obvious that she was guilty!

Lin Xiufang stuttered, “There... there’s no need for that. You... you just have to compensate me a certain amount of money.”

Xiao Lingyu shook her head and refused, “That won’t do! As I’ve said, if this is my responsibility, I will bear the cost.

“However, if it is found out that it is not my fault, then I’ll have to sue you for slander.

“Speaking of slander, according to Article 246 of the criminal law, the crime of slander refers to deliberately fabricating and spreading fictitious facts, which is enough to demean another person’s personality and destroy another person’s reputation. The circumstances are serious. You can be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years, criminal detention, control, or deprivation of political rights.

“I am not afraid of an investigation. I don’t mind getting the police involved. I wonder if Mrs. Lin is willing to cooperate or not.”

Xiao Lingyu’s words stunned the surrounding crowd.

“This... Is this considered a crime? You can go to jail for it?!” Some people who did not understand the law found it unbelievable.

It was not their fault that they did not know this because most of the people there only received a junior high school education. There were even more people who had not graduated from primary school. They only knew that killing and arson were crimes, but they did not know that defamation and slander were crimes.

When Mrs. Lin heard this, her face turned even paler.

She was just hired by someone to slander Zeng Family’s vegetable store. It was not important whether it was true or not. What was important was to tarnish their reputation.

But they had never thought that the other party would call the police directly!

“No, no. I won’t sue Boss Zeng anymore. I’ll leave now!” Lin Xiufang said in a panic. As soon as she said this, she planned to run away.

The Lady Boss had been staring at Lin Xiufang. Seeing that she was about to run away, she immediately grabbed her and said loudly, “You’ve insulted us, slandered us, and ruined our reputation. Now that you hear that the police are coming, you’re planning to run away? Do you think we’re that easily bullied? Do you want to leave? Fine! But you have to cooperate with the police first.”

Lin Xiufang panicked. She shook off the lady boss and said, “I said I wouldn’t sue you, and I don’t want your compensation. Why should I wait for the police to come? Hurry up and let go. I want to go back to the hospital to take care of my husband!”

The lady boss couldn’t take it anymore and said angrily, “Your mouth is full of lies. You want to slander and ruin our reputation. Now, you want to leave so easily? No way! You can’t wait to leave now because you have a guilty conscience, right?”

Everyone, “...”

What a good show. There were so many twists and turns.

Earlier, Boss Zeng and the lady boss couldn’t wait for this troublemaker to leave, but when the female boss of the vegetable farm arrived, she turned the situation around with just a few words.

Boss Xiao looked like a very cultured and well-mannered person, but at the same time, she was also a fierce woman. Her soft words scared people half to death.

They had reason to believe that this woman who came to cause trouble definitely didn’t know that she could be jailed for slander. Who wouldn’t be scared by the threat of imprisonment?

Lin Xiufang was held back by the lady boss and couldn’t leave. She looked even more anxious. She shouted at the lady boss angrily, “Who’s feeling guilty? I... I just remembered that my family is waiting for me to go back to cook for them. I don’t want your compensation. Can I just go back now?”

She was still able to hold on and didn’t betray her employer for the time being. But later...

“You’re really funny.” the Lady Boss said with a sneer, “You said my vegetables poisoned your family, but now you’re going back to cook for them?”

The lady boss’ words made Lin Xiufang choke.

Just as Lin Xiufang was thinking about how to break free from the lady boss, the police officer walked in and asked, “Who called the police just now?”

Zeng Qinghua stepped forward and greeted, “Officer, it’s me!”

A slightly older officer wearing a police uniform asked seriously, “What did you call the police for?”

Zeng Qinghua pointed at Lin Xiufang and said, “This woman came and said that our vegetables had poisoned her husband. She scolded me for the whole morning, asking for compensation. Officer, I need you to help me find out the truth so that I can clear the name of Zeng Family’s vegetable store.”

When the older officer heard this, he immediately said with a serious expression, “Food poisoning is a serious issue. We must investigate this matter clearly and give the victims justice.”

This was a serious issue, but some people in the surrounding crowd laughed.

They had watched the entire show. They knew who was the real victims.

A crowd member immediately echoed, “Right, this matter must be investigated clearly, and justice must be returned to the victims!”

As for who were the real victims...

“Auntie, the police are finally here. Your husband is poisoned by this store’s vegetables. You’ve been raising a ruckus the whole morning. The police are here to help you seek justice. This is just perfect, right?” A young man said.

“That’s right, Auntie. You’ve been crying for help since you said the boss was bullying you. Now that the police are here, you don’t need to worry anymore.”

One by one, the crowd started to jeer, which made Lin Xiufang red and white. She looked embarrassed and shocked, but at the same time, she felt even more afraid.

The police officer didn’t know the truth. He walked to Lin Xiufang and said seriously, “Lady, please come back to the police station with us for the investigation.”

Lin Xiufang immediately panicked when she heard that. She took a few steps back in panic, shook her head, and said, “No, no, I’m not going. My... my husband is not poisoned.” In her panic, Lin Xiufang immediately exposed the truth.

“What?” The crowd gasped.

“So, it’s really a purposeful slander!”
