Chapter 2703 - 2765: Electric Torture

What’s the concept of several tens of watts of electric current? Household electricity is only around 220V, which is about watts, while the human body can only withstand very low currents. Because most of the human body is made up of water, it conducts electricity very well. Even a few watts of current can feel extremely painful, so even those old-fashioned flashlight batteries or toy car batteries, this seemingly weak current hitting the body, is also very painful.

Now the little girl in front of me says that some hospital’s doctor is using tens of watts of electric current to shock people... Li Yifei wants to curse upon hearing it. Damn it, even interrogating criminals wouldn’t be so cruel. It’s a child, only a teenager, just likes going online and playing games, and they want to shock them with tens of watts of current?

Especially when the girl mentioned that it’s not just simple contact but a needle piercing into the flesh, is this something a human would do?

Under the daylight, Li Yifei thought of the possible torture those children might suffer, and couldn’t help but feel cold sweat trickling down his back. This is utterly inhumane behavior, simply damnable!

"My brother was shocked for five days before they were willing to relent. According to their explanation, there is a procedure, a package lasting five days, not a day less. During which, no matter how much they begged, it was no use, and if the reaction was too extreme, they would be punished, with ’treatment’ doubled! When my brother... he came out, he had over ten black charred holes on his body, with the surrounding flesh all scorched and blackened, sobbing, it’s too tragic, even after months at home, there are still deep scars!" The girl said, bursting into tears.

Li Yifei can imagine such a tragic scene, because he has also suffered through electrocution, let alone ordinary people, even he couldn’t withstand it back then. It was an indescribable pain and torture, causing one’s willpower to instantly vanish. Even now, Li Yifei wouldn’t want to try electrocution.

What does tens of watts of current signify? It means that some small animals would be killed outright by electric shock. What kind of person can do such a thing? Under the bright sky, in broad daylight, such hospitals exist. Even someone as experienced as Li Yifei is shocked into cold sweat.

Looking at the heartbrokenly crying girl, Li Yifei asked, "This matter, I’ll help you, but it’s already past. Why are you coming to me now?"

"Uncle Fei... You are kind, on behalf of my brother, thank you!" The girl lifted her head, surprised, and was about to kneel down, but Li Yifei stopped her and said, "No need for thanks, just tell me first."

"I’m here to ask for your help... because my brother was taken away again, forcibly taken by my mother and some relatives two hours ago!" The girl said fearfully, she hadn’t experienced that life, but just thinking about it was terrifying enough.

Liu Yifei asked puzzled, "Taken away again? Why?"

"After coming back, my brother was like a fool, it took a long time for him to recover a little, but his personality changed drastically. He used to be very obedient, at most played some games, addicted to the computer. But these days his behavior is very abnormal, often doing some strange things, like talking to himself, I mean that kind of very strange self-talk, utterly abnormal, and his emotions fluctuated greatly, suddenly getting angry in the room, then yelling and screaming, smashing things, becoming aggressive, which never happened before. At first, it was thought he was confined at home, not allowed to go online, so he acted this way, but everyone called that Doctor Yang, the other party said it wasn’t like that, insisted my brother still needed treatment, one more treatment would make him better, and my mom believed it..."

Believed everything they said... Li Yifei sighed and asked, "So, this hospital, where is it, Mile City?"

"No...not in Mile City, in Lin City!" The girl hesitated for a moment, quickly added, "Please don’t be angry, I’m really powerless, I saw online that you’ve done many good deeds, I happened to be working at a nearby factory, so I came over, my brother is just one, I don’t know how many children have suffered their torture. Once reporters exposed it, but there are also some journalists and officials promoting the hospital, so even if we report to the police, I’m afraid it won’t save my brother!"

Naturally, Li Yifei didn’t blame anyone, nodding, Lin City isn’t part of Ning Province, but a neighboring province, separated by a bay, the straight-line distance isn’t far, but if going by land, requires considerable detour, and there’s a famous sea of Huaxia in between. With such incidents arising, Li Yifei can’t ignore it, having experienced too many things where local governments colluded with certain people, it was lawless, and even if exposed, it’s useless, with local government backing and protection, until there’s no death, it wouldn’t become an issue, and even if someone dies, they could downplay major issues.

The exposure of such matters shocked Li Yifei, he couldn’t imagine how ignorant and indifferent must a parent be to believe in some bullshit internet addiction treatment institution, agreeing to let their child undergo treatment. Not even for your own child, even if adopted, you wouldn’t do this, how much hatred for their child must they harbor? Li Yifei was rebellious back then too, but his parents never had such thoughts.

Not to mention this institution, after hearing about it, Li Yifei immediately ordered several bodyguards to prepare and investigate, such matters evidently didn’t just start recently, but have been going on for some time, here he told the girl not to worry, since he promised, he will handle it completely, regardless of who the other party is or what background they have.

Not investigating is fine, but once investigated into those things, Li Yifei felt a chill in his heart. This electroshock internet addiction treatment institution has not only existed for many years, but is also quite famous, even appeared on interviews with Huaxia TV. As for some provincial and municipal TV news, it has appeared many times, at the time it was very popular, at the height of internet rapid development, the gaming industry also developed quickly, household computers became popular, so many growing children fell into internet games and the virtual online world. So Yang Wei, yes the doctor Yang in the girl’s words had such a name, some parents preferred to call him Professor Yang, although he had nothing to do with a real professor, even only had middle school level education, the title was completely self-appointed, but in major interviews, the journalists still called him Professor Yang, some articles even mentioned how impressive, learned Yang Wei was, such writings were not few.

Of course, there were negative reports, even today, negative reports and voices of doubt exist on the internet, along with resistance and exposure from those forcibly sent for treatment, but all to no avail. Yang Wei and his heartless minions would bribe many journalists and platforms to massively delete posts. Particularly angering, the girl’s brother was not only sent for second treatment due to abnormal behavior at home but the reason for being taken back this time was outrageous!

He wrote an article online exposing this so-called electroshock internet addiction treatment institution, Yang Wei and his minions’ various misdeeds, hence was caught back by Yang Wei.

Yes, private torture, arbitrarily restricting personal freedom, even forced capture, almost all children sent for treatment were not voluntary, therefore Yang Wei specially had a capture team, choosing stout and robust people, so the management within the internet addiction hospital can be imagined, once in, you’re no longer human, their so-called treatment mechanism had no scientific basis, it was entirely using fear tactics, using inhumane electroshock to achieve intimidation effects, making the treated remember the pain lifelong, so they dare not touch computers again.

But ordinary people, especially children, many of them had psychological issues after such electroshock torture, these problems were selectively ignored by those parents, further claimed by Yang Wei and associates as signs of improvement.

"Ignorance, stupidity, despicable!" Seeing these materials, Li Yifei couldn’t help but mutter, these parents were deceived by Yang Wei et al., their so-called internet addiction was akin to mental illness, even allowing it to develop, labeling it terminal illness requiring treatment, urgently needing treatment, otherwise developing would ruin the child’s life. Such parents don’t consider, is this illness? Even if it is, do parents have the right to subject their child to inhumane torture? Does the child have human rights, does he have the right to choose his life, do parents have any respect?

Such incidents occurring, still in today’s age, Li Yifei finds it laughable, what kind of ignorant parents can make such heartless decisions. As for Yang Wei and his minions, Li Yifei wishes he could directly kill them, saying they’re not even fit to be addressed as humans, he doesn’t want to comment on their evil deeds, just wishes to kill swiftly!

Harboring killing intent towards compatriots, towards ordinary people is rare for Li Yifei, but this time, due to the girl’s plea for help, having understood the situation, he instantly harbored killing intent. Li family security quickly mobilized, assembled a 15-man team, all skilled elite, heading to Lin City, a city in East Hill Province, not far from Skinny Monkey’s home, both within the same province.

The girl’s brother took great risks in exposing online, over the years, countless innocent people endured Yang Wei and associates’ torment, those people’s lives could all change because of that, originally simply indulging in the internet, after treatment, body and mind suffered torment, who speaks for them, who stands up for them?

No one, local government shelters, Li Yifei even found a statement by Lin City internet office, highly praising Yang Wei and his minions for contributions towards youth healthy development.
