The person interrogating her was an older man who wore black-rimmed glasses and had a few grey hairs on his head. Tu Ran noticed his name tag: Li Fuyang from the Supervisory Department.

"The pioneer team." Tu Ran replied.

"Oh, the pioneer team, no wonder," Li Fuyang adjusted his glasses and looked at the information in his hand, "Were they the first to take action?"

"Yes." Tu Ran nodded.

"It's really outrageous that a group of men beat up a woman."

Tu Ran heard him mutter something in a very low voice. If it weren't for her good hearing, she probably wouldn't have heard it.

This little old man is quite interesting.

"How seriously are they injured?" Tu Ran asked politely.

Li Fuyang raised his eyes and glanced at her. "You are really cruel, girl. Two of them have concussions, one has a brain hemorrhage, one has a broken waist, one has a broken leg, one has a broken wrist, and the remaining one fell on his face and has a broken nose. Oh, and that sniper rifle is completely broken after you messed with it."

"It's so serious," Tu Ran lowered her head and snapped her fingers, looking self-blaming, "I was just trying to protect myself. There were a group of them and I was the only one, so I used too much strength in a hurry."

"Little girl, don't think I'm easy to talk to just because I look kind. I was also an iron-blooded inspector who kept my word. Ask around and see who doesn't know me, Li Fuyang. So don't pretend to be pitiful with me. It's useless. I can see through it at a glance."

What a heartless old man.

Tu Ran stopped pretending, leaned back and looked at him, "So what are you going to do with me?"

She had promised Xie Xu to go to the black market this afternoon, and she would be doomed if she was put in solitary confinement.

Of course she had to pay the fine, as she was penniless.

“I can’t say for sure. It depends on what the higher-ups say,” Li Fuyang pushed his glasses. “Just wait patiently. You are a member of the pioneer team. The new federal law is on your side. The surveillance is also there. They were the ones who took action first, so even if they are fined, the fine won’t be too severe.” Under the new federal law, the life safety of pioneers is above all else.

"Oh, okay." Tu Ran felt relieved.

The notice came down quickly, fining her to pay 500 federal coins as compensation for the medical expenses of the five people.

Beating up seven people and paying 500 federal coins is indeed not much.

Tu Ran handed it over readily. In order to express her apology, she even went to the medical department and apologized to the seven people in person.

Zhou Ming is the person who suffered cerebral hemorrhage and concussion.

After an hour of soaking in the nutrition chamber, he was out of danger and was transferred to a regular bed, living with several of his teammates.

If they are injured on duty, all of them can stay in the nutrition cabin for free until they fully recover.

But today they were injured in a private fight, and it was a group of men beating up a woman, so Zhou Ming, who was in danger of his life, was only allowed to soak in the water for one hour, and he was sent out as soon as he was out of danger.

And he has to pay the medical expenses for that one-hour bath himself.

Tu Ran couldn't even afford a fraction of the 500 federal coins she was fined.

"Guard Zhou, I'm sorry." Tu Ran bowed deeply in front of his bed.

Zhou Ming was so angry that he gritted his teeth, but unfortunately he couldn't stand up, otherwise he would have fought with her.

"Guard Wang, I'm sorry." Tu Ran went to the bed next to him and bowed to the man with a broken nose.
