Chapter 40: Gu Yunting calls for help!
Su Mengxue didn't expect Lu Yuanzhou to admit to the matter. Although she was stunned when she heard that she might be sentenced, she quickly came to her senses. She had already caused Lu Yuanzhou to be injured and he was put in jail with her. She wanted to get Lu Yuanzhou out and absolutely could not let him take the blame for her.
She looked at the two police officers and shook her head repeatedly in denial, "Comrade Public Security, I admit that I hit someone, but it was definitely not Lu Yuanzhou who instigated me."
She raised her hand and pointed at the man in the flowered shirt, her fingers trembling as she said, "They were the ones who asked me for a high stall fee. When I refused, they pushed me and overturned my stall, damaging my clothes. As for Lu Yuanzhou, he has nothing to do with this matter. He just happened to be acting bravely."
The man in the flowered shirt looked at Su Mengxue and sneered, "Doing something brave? That sounds nice, ugh! I think you two are clearly in the same group."
After he finished speaking, he looked at the two police officers, his expression changed, and he said helplessly, "Comrade Public Security, this matter is very clear. You can see that my head has been hit and is bleeding. Can you please resolve this matter as soon as possible so that I can go to the hospital for treatment? I feel very dizzy now, and I might have a concussion or other problems. When the time comes, please punish them together with the police officers."
As he spoke, he covered his head and trembled as if he was about to fall down.
Seeing this, Lu Yuanzhou said in a cold tone, "Concussions usually cause a brief period of impaired consciousness. The way you kicked me just now didn't seem like a concussion. Besides, a concussion can cause retrograde amnesia half an hour afterward, meaning you lose track of what happened at the time of the injury. If you really do have a concussion, then I have to question the truth of what you just said."
The man in the flowered shirt was an illiterate, uncouth man who didn't know much about medical knowledge. Seeing Lu Yuanzhou's clear and logical explanation, he immediately lost the strength to cover his head. He said stubbornly, "I... I just feel a lot of pain, but it doesn't necessarily mean I have a concussion. Anyway, I'm very conscious now, and what I said is true."
"Since you are in pain, just cooperate with the investigation honestly. Once the matter is investigated clearly, our people will naturally send you to the hospital to assess your injuries." The leading police officer said in a deep voice.
Su Mengxue thought of the scene where Lu Yuanzhou was kicked to the ground by them just now, and said to the two police officers, "Comrade police officers, not only is he injured, but Lu Yuanzhou is also seriously injured. He also needs to go to the hospital for assessment."
Lu Yuanzhou interjected at the right moment, "Comrade Public Security, there were three of them beating me up, and I was seriously injured."
He lifted his shirt to show the two police officers. Su Mengxue also turned her head. She caught a glimpse of the hideous bruises and bloodstains on Lu Yuanzhou's side. Her breath instantly stopped, and she gritted her teeth at the three men, "Three of you fighting one? What a skill! You bastards!"
She turned to look at the two police officers and said sternly, "Comrade police officers, you saw his injuries. They were trying to kill Lu Yuanzhou. I was afraid he would be beaten to death by those bastards, so I hit him with the carrying pole. This was self-defense and it's not against the law."
The two police officers exchanged a glance and asked in a deep voice, "But someone has already testified that you were the first to attack. Where's your evidence?"
Su Mengxue instantly lost her previous momentum. She pursed her lips and said weakly, "I don't have any evidence yet. I can only say that the two of us have indeed been wronged."
"Since you can't produce any evidence, we can only proceed based on the information we currently have. Tell the truth, who did it between you two?"
Seeing how unprofessionally they handled the problem, Su Mengxue thought of the person who had just come in and was certain that the two of them would be treated unfairly.
Unable to suppress her anger any longer, she frowned, raised her finger, pointed at the middle-aged man, and said fiercely, "Is what this man said the truth? How can you be so careless! You should investigate whether he has any contact with these people and then determine whether his testimony is admissible. If you can't give us a fair execution, I will file a complaint."
After Su Mengxue finished speaking, everyone present was stunned, including the other police officer who had just arrived outside the door and Gu Yunting.
As soon as Gu Yunting left the black market, he ran into Wang Qi who had just returned from the toilet. He immediately asked Wang Qi if he was the police officer he had called.
Wang Qi was stunned for a moment and flatly denied it, "Captain, didn't you ask me to come to the black market to help Miss Su keep an eye on her and prevent her from getting caught? How could I possibly ask the police to come?"
Only then did Gu Yunting realize that someone was causing trouble. As for who called the police and put the blame on him, he already had the answer in his mind.
Without thinking too much, he immediately went to the Public Security Bureau and asked the relevant personnel in charge of the matter about the situation. After listening, he realized that the situation was not optimistic and Su Mengxue might be sentenced.
He originally wanted to listen to what they had to say, hoping to find a breakthrough to help Su Mengxue find favorable evidence. However, he would have heard Su Mengxue's remarks as soon as he arrived.
He knew very well what the consequences would be if he confronted the police. He frowned and left the Public Security Bureau in a hurry.
In the room, the two police officers discussed for a while and then said to them, "I'll have you two patients taken to the hospital for evaluation and treatment. The rest of you will be detained for now. We'll deal with you according to the law once we have more progress."
After they finished speaking, they looked at Su Mengxue and added in a sonorous voice: "Don't worry, what we are talking about here is justice. We will not let a bad person go, and we will not wrongly accuse a good person."
…
Gu Yunting drove straight to the army and knocked on the door of the instructor's office.
Seeing him suddenly appear, Lin Wenbin asked in surprise, "Yun Ting, didn't you ask for leave today? Why are you back so suddenly?"
Gu Yunting didn't bother to greet him. He took a few steps forward and told him about Su Mengxue.
Lin Wenbin's face immediately turned cold after hearing this. He frowned and asked, "Gu Yunting, what do you mean by telling me this? You want me to help you rescue someone!"
Gu Yunting lowered his head and replied unnaturally, "She was indeed wronged. I can't just watch her get framed and go to jail."
Lin Wenbin stood up and sneered, "Since she was wrongly accused, why are you so anxious? Are you worried about our public security system and afraid that they will wrongly accuse her?"
Seeing Lin Wenbin was angry, Gu Yunting hurriedly explained: "No, I just... just..."
Seeing him hesitant, Lin Wenbin sullenly rebuked him, "Gu Yunting, when did you start speaking like a woman? That's why you came to my place. Do you think I'm too idle here and want to find something for me to do?"
Gu Yunting explained again: "Instructor, you misunderstood. I came to see you because of her...she..."
Seeing that he was hesitant to speak, Lin Wenbin's eyes flashed. He looked Gu Yunting up and down and said, "In all the years I've known you, this is the first time you've come to me for help. Tell me honestly, who is Su Mengxue to you? Is it worth it for you to risk violating discipline to plead for her?"
Just as Gu Yunting was about to speak, Lin Wenbin glanced at him and warned him, "Gu Yunting, think it over before you speak. If it's something insignificant, not only will I not care, I'll also kick you out with a stick."
Gu Yunting's Adam's apple rolled, and he said, "Instructor, she is my wife-to-be."
