After the recording finished playing, the interrogation room fell silent. The officer sorted out the documents, cleared his throat, and spoke seriously, "According to the relevant provisions of the Public Security Administration Punishment Law, combined with the recorded evidence just now, this incident is a public security case. It does not constitute a criminal offense and will not involve a sentence, but a public security punishment will be imposed in accordance with the law."

Hearing that "it does not involve sentencing", Li Minghai and Xu Ruohan's tense shoulders relaxed slightly.

The police officer looked at Xu Ruohan and continued, "Xu Ruohan, you have slandered others without reason and provoked trouble. This has violated the provisions of the Public Security Administration Punishment Law regarding openly insulting others. You will be fined 500 yuan and detained for 5 days."

Xu Ruohan's face turned pale in an instant, her lips trembled slightly, and she wanted to say something, but was stopped by the police's sharp eyes.

The police officer then turned his attention to Li Minghai and said, "Li Minghai, although you were acting out of your original intention to protect your daughter, your physical assault is also illegal. Given the circumstances, you will be fined 800 yuan and detained for seven days."

When Li Minghai heard the punishment decision, he nodded slightly. There was not much surprise in his eyes, as if he had been mentally prepared.

-

In the corridor of the police station, the light was so pale that it was almost cold, making the tiles on the wall glow with a cold light.

Li Susu stood alone in the corner, rubbing her hands nervously, her eyes fixed on the door of the interrogation room. Every second of waiting seemed infinitely prolonged.

After an unknown amount of time, the tightly closed door slowly swung open. Zhou Huaixu's slender figure appeared first, followed by Li Minghai.

His hair was messy and his clothes were wrinkled, forming a sharp contrast with Zhou Huaixu beside him.

Li Susu's eyes moved back and forth between the two of them, with mixed feelings in her heart.

Just now Zhou Huaixu said that he wanted to bail out his father, but she said that it was not necessary, and it would not be a bad idea to let him stay in there for a few days to learn a lesson.

Zhou Huaixu stared at her with a puzzled look. Finally, he said nothing and turned into the interrogation room.

Unexpectedly, it only took half an hour to get the person out.

It was already evening when we came out of the police station.

A black Bentley was parked quietly on the side of the road, its shiny paint reflecting the dazzling light.

The Zhou family's driver had been waiting beside the car, wearing a neat black uniform. When he saw Zhou Huaixu, he immediately stepped forward and respectfully opened the car door.

Li Susu thought of Zhou Huaixu's puzzled look just now, reached out to support Li Minghai, who was still a little dazed, and slowly walked towards the car.

The three of them got into the car one after another. The interior was spacious and quiet, with soft leather seats and exquisite interior, which was completely different from the oppressive atmosphere in the police station.

The car started slowly and drove steadily towards the hospital.

Perhaps he was tired from all the trouble, Li Minghai fell asleep not long after the car drove out.

Li Susu looked at the scenery rapidly receding outside the window, her thoughts drifting away.

Zhou Huaixu seemed to notice her distraction, turned his head, and said softly: "Don't worry, go to the hospital to treat the wound, it shouldn't be a big problem."

Li Susu nodded slightly.

Thinking that Bo Junyi might be about to get off work, a sense of uneasiness arose in my heart.

Soon, the car slowly stopped in front of the hospital. Zhou Huaixu got out first, walked around to the door, and gentlemanly opened the door for Li Susu and Li Minghai.

People were coming and going in the hospital, noisy voices and hurried footsteps were intertwined, and the smell of disinfectant filled the air.

Zhou Huaixu supported Li Minghai and walked into the hospital lobby. They queued up to register for the outpatient clinic and were busy all the time.

Li Susu stood quietly by the side, watching Zhou Huaixu's busy figure, and felt moved.

Zhou Huaixu's appearance was like a timely rain, helping her solve a lot of troubles.

But beneath this feeling of being moved, there is a hidden sense of unease.

After bandaging Li Minghai and leaving the hospital, Zhou Huaixu said to Li Susu, "It's getting late. Let's find a place for your father to stay first."

Li Susu glanced at Li Minghai, who looked exhausted, hesitated for a moment, and nodded slightly.

Along the way, Li Minghai didn't say much and stayed quietly, which made Li Susu a little uncomfortable for a while.

Zhou Huaixu took them to a five-star hotel. Warm yellow light shone through the revolving door, illuminating the marble floor at the hotel entrance.

When the doorman saw them, he immediately came forward and respectfully opened the door.

Li Susu hurriedly said: "Senior, just find an ordinary hotel, the price here is too expensive——"

Li Minghai, who had been silent the whole time, also interrupted at the right time, "Su Su is right, I can just make do for one night."

Zhou Huaixu chuckled, "I have a membership here."

In fact, the hotel is owned by the Zhou family.

Because Zhou's parents had been abroad for the past two weeks, Zhou Huaixu was too lazy to go home, so he just stayed in a hotel close to the school.

Li Susu said "Oh" softly, planning to transfer it to him later.

Zhou Huaixu nodded to the two of them soothingly, walked straight to the front desk, and skillfully completed the check-in procedures.

Li Susu stood aside, looking up slightly, looking at the luxurious decoration of the hotel, the exquisite murals, and expensive ornaments, all of which demonstrated the high-end atmosphere of this place.

This was very different from her usual living environment, making her feel a little uneasy.

After completing the formalities, Zhou Huaixu came over with the room card, handed one to Li Minghai, and said, "Uncle, you should have a good rest first. If you need anything, feel free to contact me."

Li Minghai took the room card and moved his lips as if he wanted to say some words of thanks, but was blocked by Zhou Huaixu's gentle smile.

The three of them arrived at the room floor and after settling Li Minghai down, Li Susu and Zhou Huaixu gently closed the door and walked to the end of the corridor.

Li Susu took a deep breath, mustered up the courage to look at Zhou Huaixu, and said seriously, "Senior, I'm really sorry to bother you today. I don't know how to thank you. I'll treat you to a meal some other day when I have time. I'll also transfer the money for today's hotel stay to you."
