Chapter 18 Because I'm scared

"Officer, I can testify that those two beasts wanted to bully Su Jin, and Su Jin was only trying to protect herself!"

The county town, the police station.

Wang Baozhu anxiously explained to the police officers in charge of the interrogation.

The person stabbed by Su Jin has been sent to the hospital. Zhao Zhihu and the other man ran away, while he and Su Jin were also brought here.

Why do you carry a knife with you?

On the other side, police officers were also taking Su Jin's statement.

Su Jin: "Because I'm scared."

The other person frowned. "Scared?"

Su Jin nodded. "Yes. I'm going to find my husband alone. The journey is long, and I'm afraid I'll encounter bad people along the way, so I thought I'd bring this for self-defense."

Her words sounded harsh, but they were absolutely true.

The police officer couldn't help but take another look at her; this person was indeed honest.

Her small, delicate face was filled with helplessness and pitifulness; such a pretty girl traveling alone was indeed likely to attract unwanted attention.

"Where is the security situation really that bad?"

Her behavior is something that cannot be condoned or encouraged.

Su Jin looked uneasy. "But I almost got ruined by them."

The police were speechless for a moment.

"We have a general understanding of what happened, but it's also a fact that you injured someone, so we still need to wait for news from the hospital."

"Officer, I have a train ticket for today. Can't I leave?" Su Jin asked cautiously.

"We definitely can't leave today," the police officer confirmed.

Su Jin pleaded, "Could you please help me get a refund for my train ticket? I really don't have the money to buy another one."

By the end, her voice was so soft it was almost negligible.

The police officers, seeing her shabby clothes, could understand.

"Okay, I'll refund your ticket first."

Ordinary people have it tough; the cost of a long-distance train ticket is a significant expense for them.

Su Jin said "thank you" and visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

The police were somewhat helpless about her reaction.

She wasn't worried about being judged as having caused intentional injury; she was more concerned about the cost of a train ticket.

“Su Jin, I have already explained everything to the police officers. You did this to protect yourself, so you will definitely be fine.”

After Su Jin came out, Wang Baozhu was already waiting outside.

Upon seeing her, I quickly went to greet her and comforted her.

"Thank you, Uncle Wang," Su Jin said gratefully.

She didn't have much contact with Wang Baozhu when they were in the village, but he never abandoned her, and she remembered his kindness.

Su Jin suddenly remembered something and turned to the police officer beside her, saying, "Zhao Zhihu and his accomplices have escaped. Please make sure to catch them! Otherwise, they will definitely continue to harass my mother."

The police officer nodded, his goodwill and sympathy for her growing. "Don't worry, our people have already gone to hunt them down."

The case is actually quite clear. First, the village bully Zhao Zhihu coveted Su Jin's beauty and tried to force himself on her, but Su Jin accidentally injured him. Zhao Zhihu held a grudge and hired someone to retaliate against Su Jin.

In self-defense, Su Jin stabbed one of the men.

The key issue now is how serious the man's injuries are. If he really dies, then it might involve whether Su Jin overreacted.

Therefore, we must wait for news from the hospital before we can proceed with the determination of the nature of the case.

Time passed exceptionally slowly until night fell, when finally the hospital called.
