Chapter 390 Taken Away By The Police

Normally, the patients in cardiology department were divided into two groups. One was in charge by the
director, and the other was in charge by Rachel.

But today's situation was different. Her workload was double. After she was done checking the patients,
Rachel walked to the other side where the interns stood. Passing them a smile, she said, "You will be
learning more today."

While she was immersed in her job, Eric and Linda stayed back in Rachel's office, playing with their
phones.

All of a sudden, the door of the office was gently pushed open. A man stood before them as his eyes
remained glued on Linda. In a trembling voice, he said, "Linda, do you have a minute? I want to talk to
you."

Linda didn't even bother to look up. However, Eric did.

He had no desire to talk to this stranger, but the main refused to leave. The atmosphere was getting a
bit awkward. Without any choice, Eric looked at him and asked, "Who are you?"

Until now, the man hadn't even acknowledged Eric's presence. His focus had been Lina. But now, he
shifted his gaze to him and asked, "Who are you?"

A little annoyed, Eric said, "I'm her son. And you didn't answer my question."

"Oh, I'm her old friend. I want to talk to her. It has been a long time."

Before the man could finish his words, Eric waved his hand and interrupted, "I'm asking your name.
Unfortunately, my mother has lost her memory. Trying to talk to her won't be any good as she probably
doesn't remember you. But do tell me your name."



"Oh, my name is Kale Ma."

As soon as he finished speaking, Linda suddenly raised her head, frowned and shook her head. She
looked at Kale Ma as if she was seeing him for the first time.

In spite of this, Eric turned to her and asked, "Mom, do you remember him?"

"No." Her face was bereft of any emotions and her tone was indifferent. Lowering her head, she once
again went back to playing with her phone. It looked like she held no interest in this man. A ray of hope
had budded in Eric's heart. However, seeing there was no recognition in his mother's eyes,
disappointment welled up again. In an attempt to look cheerful, he said, "Take a seat please. I hope
you can understand her situation. If you have something to say, you can tell me."

"I..." Kale opened his mouth but words didn't come out of it.

He looked down, taking a short break. After a while, it seemed like he had made up his mind to speak
up. But before he could speak, the door of the office was pushed open. Kale's wife stood there, looking
at them with her fierce eyes.

With one hand on her waist and the other pointing at Kale, she scolded, "After all these years, you still
haven't forgotten her, have you? And look at your audacity! As soon as you knew she was here, you
came running!" Frustration was evident in her voice.

Unaware of what was happening in her office, Rachel put the medical record back on the bed. Glancing
out of the window, she breathed a sigh of relief. "This is the last patient, right?"

"Yes. It's finally over," said one of the interns standing behind her.

"Thank you all for your hard work today." Rachel passed them a weak smile. She was extremely tired.
In her current state, she would be willing to give up anything to be back home. It had been a long day.



She rubbed her temples, trying to subdue the throbbing headache she was experiencing.

However, it turned out her day had only begun. Celia came rushing. "Rachel! There is a fight going on
in your office," she announced, a little out of breath.

"What! What's wrong?" she asked, forgetting all about her fatigue. Rachel assumed her aunt had lost
her temper once again.

"It's your aunt's ex-boyfriend. He just showed up and..."

Celia's voice trailed off.

After thinking for a while, Rachel looked at Celia and said, "I have a few more things to sort out. I will
come there as soon as I finish here."

At the moment, Jack was glancing at his wardrobe. Finally, he selected a suit. While buttoning up, he
asked Austin, "Have they arrived yet?"

"Not yet. They're on their way. And will probably reach in ten minutes," answered Austin.

Nodding his head, Jack announced, "In that case, we should be leaving."

There was a business negotiation that was about to take place. If the negotiation was successful, fifty
percent cost of the MK Group's office supplies would be reduced. And the money would be given to the
charity. This was a wonderful way to build the reputation of the company.

Therefore, Jack was determined to win this negotiation.

As soon as he stepped out, Jack's phone rang.

He stopped at the roadside and took out his phone. When he saw Rachel's name, he immediately
picked it up. "Hello?"



"Jack, are you free? There is an emergency," said Rachel, panic evident in her voice.

Jack frowned and asked, "What happened?"

"Eric has been taken into the custody. My aunt and I are waiting here outside the police office, not
knowing what to do. Could you help us?"

He put away his phone and caught a taxi.

Austin, who had been expecting him in the passenger seat, was confused to watch him choose a
different path. Opening the door, he followed Jack in a hurry and asked, "Mr. Fu, where are you going?"

"Give my apologies to them. You're in charge of the negotiation." Before Austin could have asked more
questions, the taxi left, leaving him dumbfounded.

For a few seconds, he remained on the spot, wondering what could have made Jack skip this meeting.
But soon, he recovered and went to do what his boss had asked him to.

Once the taxi stopped at the police station, Jack handed money to the driver. He did so without even
looking at it. The driver was about to return the change, but Jack disappeared. 'That man is in some
hurry,' the driver thought, enjoying the extra cash he had received.

Standing in the middle of the hall with Linda, Rachel was still in a white gown. A lot of people who
walked by were staring at her.

As soon as Jack caught sight of her, he strode forward and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong? What
happened to Eric?"

Pursing her lips, Rachel said anxiously, "He got into a fight with a couple of people. One of them
passed out and the blame came on Eric. And now the police won't leave him."



"Is that guy all right now?"

Rachel shook her head and said, "He isn't completely okay. But Celia just called me and informed that
he has gained consciousness. But their people are creating chaos..."

Normally, Rachel was very calm. But when something happened to her dear ones, she would be quite
disturbed. Her heart was hammering against her chest. This was one reason Jack loved her so much.

He reached out and gently held her in his arms, trying to bring her some comfort. In his soothing voice,
he said, "I'll take care of it. Don't worry. You should take your aunt and sit over there. Please don't
remain standing."

Linda was brimming with resentment. "How dare they behave in this manner! I don't remember Kale
Ma at all. His wife is a wretched woman!" she spat out.

What actually happened was Kale and his wife got into a fight. She was throwing curses at him. His
wife punched and kicked him. Eric, who couldn't stand the violence, stood up and went to Kale's
rescue. His intention was to dissuade them from fighting.

Just then, some of his family members happened to come over. They misunderstood Eric's role in this
fight. According to them, Eric had begun the fight. Together, they started hitting him.

Eric had no choice but to fight back. After all, he was all alone in this.

However, these people were quite adamant. They got the authorities involved.

Once Chief Ren learnt about the incident, he expected Jack's visit. Now, on noticing Jack's arrival, he
muttered under his breath, 'I haven't crossed paths with Jack for a long time.

But now, we meet again.'



Seeing the faint smile on Jack's lips, Chief Ren immediately reached out his hand and said, "Mr. Fu,
don't worry. As soon as we find out it wasn't Mr. Shen who started the fight, he will be free."

"Thank you." Jack patted him on the shoulder and glanced at the interrogation room. His meaning was
obvious.

Chief Ren immediately understood what he meant. He rubbed his hands and smiled apologetically.
"Don't worry. You can take him away as soon as they finish asking questions."

Nodding his head, Jack left Chief Ren. He walked to the side where Rachel was seated. His expression
was a bit serious now. "You and your aunt should wait here for Eric. I'm going to the hospital to see
those people."

There wasn't much he could do at the police station. The important thing he had to do was to deal with
the victim's family members.

The more Rachel thought about it, the more frustrated she felt. Now the director's aversion towards
these people made sense to her. They were an annoying bunch. It was quite difficult to handle them.

Jack was a man people couldn't mess with. Hence she believed he would be capable of dealing with
them. In spite of this, she looked a bit worried. "Be careful," she added before he left.

Sitting there, she prayed things would go smoothly.

Eric had behaved well with them.

In spite of this, they got him into trouble. Under the circumstance, someone like Jack was their only
solution. He would put them in their place!

As soon as Jack arrived at the hospital, Celia took him to their ward. He came face to face with a group
of people standing beside the bed.



Celia had already stepped into the ward. But there was something terrifying about them. She couldn't
help but take two steps back. She looked up at Jack, indicating that this group of people were not easy
to deal with.

Jack seemed unafraid. He coughed to get their attention. The group of people around the bed turned
around instantly. One of the men in black said impolitely, "This is an individual ward, sir. You are in the
wrong place."

"I'm the family of the gentleman whom you have sent to police station," he announced, revealing his
identity.

His words made them sneer. "Oh, it looks like he has found himself a helper. Just so you know, it
doesn't work this way. He knocked my brother out, and now he will suffer!" a woman said.

Instead of worry, a mocking smile appeared on Jack's face. His sharp eyes passed through the crowd
and looked straight at the person who had just spoken

His piercing eyes made her tremble a little. But hiding her anxiety, she continued, "Don't expect us to
forgive you now. It's impossible."

After saying that, she raised her hand and patted the shoulder of the man standing beside her, like she
was seeking for his agreement.

The man then said, "If you want him released, ask him to accept our punch. We want things to be fair
and square."

Jack still wouldn't reply. He spoke with his eyes. It flitted from one person to the next. And the smile on
his lips remained there.



For a moment, everyone was confused. Wasn't Jack going to beg them to release Eric? It was beyond
them why he stood there so confidently. There was nothing in his demeanor that told them he was here
for forgiveness.

At first, Celia was a little confused. She too had mistaken the reason behind his visit. She thought he
was here for forgiveness. 'This is Jack Fu! He doesn't apologize,' she told herself. Straightening her
back, her timid expression was soon replaced by a smile.
