Chapter 2711 - 2773: Beastly Acts

Despicable, shameful, hateful! Li Yifei personally participated in the interrogation. Although he was not a policeman or a soldier, Li Yifei was determined to wade through this murky situation and handle it. After collecting the confessions from Yang Wei and others, he also recorded a video. Nevertheless, Li Yifei couldn’t feel relaxed because Yang Wei and others not only confessed to using the so-called electric therapy device, effectively a variant of electric torture, for long-term illegal medical practice, deception after expiration, illegal detention, restriction of personal freedom, and multiple legal offenses. Besides this, Yang Wei also confessed to another heinous act—they were suspected of sexual assault!

It wasn’t just the female internet addicts who came for treatment, but also the males. This is simply outrageous. Under the emotionally distressed and mentally collapsed confessions from Yang Wei and others, a preliminary calculation showed as many as twenty-five boys and girls who came for treatment were sexually assaulted by them, singly or collectively. This doesn’t even count the harassment and sexual assault incidents that occurred at night when these children or adults were living together.

Last year, there was a case where a child treated for internet addiction returned home and was discovered pregnant months later. The parents were immediately alarmed when they found their daughter’s belly growing, fearing she was bullied at school. However, investigations revealed the daughter was particularly...quiet at school, almost friendless, with an extremely withdrawn personality, even at home. Despite these signs, the parents failed to notice anything. But the child inside the girl’s belly was real, and according to calculations, the time was exactly when she was at the Web Addiction Treatment Center, if not before or after. So after finding no results at the school, the parents suspected the center.

The parents had some influence locally and began investigating as soon as something was amiss. Later, their daughter revealed that during treatment, someone touched her, not only on her chest but also below. However, she was already shocked unconscious at the time and didn’t know who did it, only that she woke up with severe pain below, so painful she couldn’t walk.

The girl was at the high school age, busy with academics every day. Coupled with the fear of electric torture, she truly didn’t play computer games after returning and didn’t even dare to touch a phone, becoming extremely dull and timid. The parents only saw improved grades and assumed the so-called internet addiction had been cured, ignoring the rest.

After discovering the pregnancy, the parents were furious, scolding the girl and even hitting her, then went to the treatment center to cause trouble. Originally, the center was entirely in the wrong, regardless of whose child was sexually assaulted. The incident happened at their place, even if it wasn’t them, it was related to the males seeking treatment. But they encountered Yang Wei, who held a natural status and was protected by local officials. He turned the center into a small clan, a kingdom, making him fearless. Yang Wei merely paid twenty thousand to settle the matter with the aggrieved parents.

The parents were even beaten and threatened not to appear in Lin City again, or they’d get beaten every time they did. If they caused more trouble, their house would be attacked. They were told to try it if they didn’t believe.

Leaving aside how ignorant and hateful the girl’s parents were, their selfishness led to sending their child into a den of evil, and despite everything, they failed to protect their child. No one knows how the girl’s path will unfold after these events, whether she’ll change or embark on another life path—these are unknown. But those who committed these acts are absolutely despicable and deserve death!

The electric torture incident involved thousands of children, and everyone here was guilty. Although Li Yifei wasn’t a judge or someone from the relevant department, if he deemed them guilty, they were guilty. Even if officially declared innocent, Li Yifei vowed to use personal power to convict them. If such people and such evil acts can escape legal punishment and remain free, many would lose faith in society. Li Yifei refuses and cannot allow that, so he is compelled to intervene forcibly, just as he initially intended—to come here, rescue the children, and punish Yang Wei and others.

As for the sexual assault, an even more heinous crime, Li Yifei couldn’t help but think of those teenage girls who should be blooming at their age but were sent here by ignorant and shameless parents, subjected to electric torture—this was tolerable; perhaps they could endure—but during such treatment, when their bodies were weak and painful, they were shamelessly assaulted by those so-called doctors, leading to pregnancy or lifelong psychological issues. This was not an isolated case.

Who gave these demons the ground to survive? Who exalted them? Who sacrificed integrity for the sake of political achievement? Who? When the issue erupted online, why were there multiple attempts to hinder, delete posts, and block visibility? Why could the girl’s brother, who dared to expose various evils, not find circulation and attention from many departments?

Who did this? Whose evil acts are these? Li Yifei couldn’t help but demand clarity.

Holding so much evidence, Li Yifei wanted to see who dared to protect these demons, who had the nerve!

Of course, things in this world are always unexpected. What Li Yifei envisioned differed from what happened next; perhaps some fish escaped the net, so the police arrived two hours later. Because Li Yifei had already closed the door, the police couldn’t get in immediately. Initially, two cars arrived, and five or six local police station officers got out, but soon three riot vehicles arrived, signifying the arrival of SWAT, bringing firearms and such.

At this point, Li Yifei had completed the interrogation, instructed them to continue electrocuting Yang Wei and others; if possible, keep electrocuting them as long as they don’t die. Doing this may not relieve the anger but might make the heart slightly more comfortable.

Exhaling heavily, Li Yifei walked towards the door. Since the local police responded, he understood where their allegiance lay, so his expression was calm, his mind already anticipating this.

"Listen up inside, don’t resist; it’s inadvisable. Quickly release the hospital people and don’t make things worse!" Outside, seemingly having lost patience, they started shouting with a loudspeaker.

Li Yifei responded from behind the door: "So, you’re here to rescue these beasts like Yang Wei?"

"Who are you? Why are you holding President Yang and others hostage? Let me tell you, I am the head of the Heroic Road Police Station. I’m here to advise you not to act recklessly; your behavior has already violated the law. Furthermore, hurting people will have very serious consequences!"

"Hahaha, if that’s the case, then there’s no need for communication; you and Yang Wei are accomplices!" Li Yifei laughed, though internally thinking that the first person to fall into his trap had come, since they arrived, they shouldn’t leave.

The other side was clearly provoked, but not knowing the situation inside, they restrained anger and shouted: "Take my advice; this isn’t a small matter. Any hostage situation in our country faces severe punishment, not to mention harming hostages. Quickly release hostages, and all will be negotiable. Now the SWAT is here; they have many snipers; you don’t want to be shot dead, do you?"

"Are you sure you can take charge?" Li Yifei asked softly.

"I’m the head; of course, I can take charge. I’m giving you ten minutes to consider; I advise you to lay down weapons, release hostages, or the consequences will be severe," the head threatened. Inside, President Yang and others are held hostage—a major event—handling it poorly could cost him his position and even lead to disciplinary actions; it’s a sensational event. Yang Wei and others were molded into advanced role models by the province and city, but handling it well might get him a promotion immediately. It’s a very serious incident; if he persuades the inside criminals to release hostages, it’s unquestionably a huge achievement.

With such thoughts, the head became both excited and imaginatively persuasive.

Unfortunately, he faced Li Yifei; his threats and incentives were utterly ineffective. Not only ineffective, but also counterproductive.

The door creaked open; its hinge seemed to need oiling, but that’s irrelevant. Importantly, a person walked out, and it was just him. As soon as Li Yifei emerged, he felt several red dots aiming at his chest. He squinted, raised his head slightly, and swiftly spotted three snipers hiding behind vehicles and large trees, along with several armed SWAT officers. The rest held riot shields, pistols in hand. They were fully armed; upon seeing Li Yifei emerge, they immediately became vigilant, assuming Li Yifei was a highly threatening criminal.

In fact, they hadn’t estimated wrong; Li Yifei wasn’t a criminal, but he was a highly dangerous figure. Of course, he wasn’t someone they could handle. He walked slowly out, eyes fixed on the head; the other was a short, fat man holding a loudspeaker, seeing Li Yifei come out, forgetting to put it down.

"Who are you?" The head’s body trembled, snapped to attention, and hurriedly asked.

Li Yifei’s steps didn’t stop, the other hurriedly said: "Stop, or snipers will shoot!" Of course, his status didn’t allow him to command SWAT, but he didn’t need to say it; those SWAT officers were already on high alert. If this guy had bombs strapped to him and entered the crowd, it’d be disastrous.

"Do you know what place this is?" Li Yifei finally stopped, ten meters from those police, several gun barrels pointed at him. Li Yifei was utterly fearless. Inside, the security personnel looked at their master holding the line alone, all extremely excited—following such a master was indeed a lifelong honor!
