The crowd was still immersed in their adulation for the Gonzalez family.
CRASH!
Someone kicked open the doors to the main hall with tremendous force!
Plainclothes officers, moving like a special operations team, stormed in and slammed Grace and George to the floor.
Their movements were too fast, too precise, too brutal.
George was still shouting, “Who are you people? How dare you treat us like—”
The lead officer held up his credentials. “Special Task Force!”
Special Task Force?
Everyone was shocked.
Why would the Special Task Force be here?
Mr. Turner Sr. raised an eyebrow but remained silent, his wise eyes quietly observing the scene.
Rosalind didn’t move. She remained in the shadows, out of the camera's view, chewing on a piece of candy with her backpack slung over her shoulder, looking like an innocent schoolgirl.
George struggled to get up. “I don’t care what task force you’re from! Do you have any idea who protects the Gonzalez family?”
BANG!
An officer slammed him back onto the floor.
Grace’s face was ashen. She spread her hands. “This is a misunderstanding, a complete misunderstanding! Officer, I have Aaron’s number, our family…”
“City Official Aaron has already confessed,” the man interrupted her. “The Gonzalez family has shown a blatant disregard for human life, using your positions as doctors to traffic organs, engage in bribery and corruption, and force patients who didn't need surgery to undergo heart procedures! Not to mention academic fraud, framing colleagues, and profiting from a fraudulent apprenticeship program! If you ask me, arresting you now is long overdue! Take them away!”
“Confessed?” Grace froze for a moment, then scrambled on the floor, her hair in disarray, and screamed hysterically, “No, I don’t believe Aaron would fall!”
In her disheveled state, she had lost every shred of her earlier arrogance.
Some of the independent doctors whispered among themselves.
“Did the Gonzalez family really perform unnecessary surgeries for money?”
“Could there be some kind of misunderstanding?”
“No misunderstanding. Look at your phones!”
A video had just been released, and within ten minutes, it had spread like wildfire across Sol.
It wasn't just playing in shopping malls and hospitals; it had even been broadcast into the manor itself, a massive projection appearing on the wall.
The video began with an old man crying. “Dr. Gonzalez, 10 thousand for the surgery is too much. Our family can’t possibly afford it.”
The camera then cut to Grace, who didn’t even look up. “If you can’t afford it, go home and wait to die. Why are you crying to me? Honestly, old man, what’s more important, money or your life?”
The old man wiped away his tears. “Dr. Gonzalez, is there no other way? Is surgery the only option?”
