A Matrilocal Husband's Counterattack

Chapter 75: Caught

When Ethan returned to the Golden Clinic with Ricky and Alice Whitehead, there were already five or six law enforcement vehicles parked outside.

Some were from the pharmaceutical bureau, while others were police and local officials.

More than twenty uniformed men and women surrounded the clinic, pointing fingers and looking aggressive.

Standing at the front were a chubby man and a tall man.

The chubby man, dressed in white attire labeled "Pharmaceutical Bureau," was named Martin Fletcher. The tall man in a police uniform was Evan Mitchell.

The two had been partners for years and were sworn brothers, specializing in shutting down illegal clinics and small medical practices.

Today, they were clearly targeting the Golden Clinic.

Eugene Zacher and his team, wearing safety helmets, blocked the entrance, preventing Martin Fletcher and Evan Mitchell from entering.

With so many people around, if someone framed them, it would be troublesome.

Ethan also noticed Thomas carrying several baskets filled with dishes from Five Lakes Restaurant.

Apparently, he was also here to curry favor.

"Ah, Chief Fletcher, Officer Mitchell, good morning!"

Before Ethan could speak, Ricky ran over, shaking hands with the two leaders with a smile:

"What brings you here today?"

He quickly pulled out a pack of Furong King cigarettes for them.

Ricky had crossed paths with them a few times while mingling in different circles. He knew they were ruthless and shameless, so he hoped to resolve the issue with a small cost.

"Here, have a smoke. It's almost noon; you've all been working hard."

Ricky offered with a flattering smile, "Later, let's head to the Regal Hotel, have a few drinks, and cool off."

"Get lost!"

Martin Fletcher knew Ricky was just a fallen rich kid and rudely shoved him aside:

"Don't try that with me. I'm on official duty."

"Get your boss out here, or we'll shut this place down right now."

Evan Mitchell pointed at the disheveled Eugene Zacher and his men: "And you all, aiding the wicked? You're all coming in for questioning."

Ricky stepped forward with a smile, "Chief Fletcher, Officer Mitchell, can't we sit down and talk this out?"

"Talk my ass! We received a report that this is an illegal clinic."

Martin Fletcher's eyes widened as he shouted, "The clinic's paperwork is incomplete, and the doctors are practicing illegally. Cooperate with the investigation immediately!"

"Illegal clinic?"

Several patients who had arrived early were shocked:

"How is that possible? We've been coming here for years without any issues, and they never overcharge!"

"Yeah, Golden Clinic has been around longer than your grandfathers. How could it be unlicensed?"

The patients looked at Martin Fletcher and his team with suspicion: "Are you guys out of your minds, talking nonsense?"

The onlooking neighbors burst into laughter at the remarks.

"Don't you understand? This clinic is illegal and could kill people! Why are you still getting treated here?"
