The police officer who was familiar with Lao Xu was surnamed Qi. After hearing what Lao Xu said, Officer Qi breathed a sigh of relief.
At least that many people acted together, and there was no surveillance footage of the place where the attack took place.
Since everyone participated, the criminal penalties should naturally be shared.
Moreover, Lu Yao was the one who started it, and they actively tried to make amends after the incident and even turned themselves in, so they will definitely receive a lenient sentence.
After listening to what Lao Xu and the others said, the police officer who took their statements asked them to sign the statement.
The police officer then called on Officer Qi and another colleague to go with Lao Xu and the others to visit Lu Yao.
Lu Yao was already awake, but his throat was parched and he couldn't utter a single word.
But no one was there to help him, so when he struggled a few times, no one responded.
It was the elderly woman who was accompanying Lu Yao in the clinical setting who couldn't bear to see him like this, so she poured him a glass of water and fed it to him.
Lu Yao asked the old lady for help to call a doctor, and the old lady went to the corridor to call the doctor.
Soon, Lu Yao's attending physician came in and examined him.
The attending physician sighed and said, "Your injuries are quite serious; you have multiple fractures, especially in your legs and head..."
"Call your family over. Someone has to take care of you. Tell them to bring more money."
Lu Yao then realized that his right leg was still in a cast.
The days when he used to limp were a nightmare he could never shake off.
Then he excitedly shouted, "What's wrong with my leg?"
"Am I disabled? Will I be lame in the future?"
Seeing his condition, the attending physician quickly reassured him, "Although our hospital can't cure it, a major hospital in Kyoto might be able to."
"Don't get agitated, focus on getting better first."
Lu Yao's eyes were bloodshot, and he was shaking uncontrollably. Then his eyes rolled back and he fainted.
The attending physician quickly examined him again, and after confirming that he was just suffering from a sudden surge of anger, he gave him an injection before shaking his head and sighing as he left.
When Lu Yao woke up again, the police were already standing in front of him.
Several gamblers who had beaten Lu Yao were standing behind them.
When Lu Yao saw them, his eyes immediately turned red again: "You crippled me, I'm going to put you in jail!"
The police were somewhat shocked, and one of them got up to find Lu Yao's attending physician.
The other two sat down next to Lu Yao. Qi Gong'an opened his laptop and asked, "Lu Yao, are you sure the injuries on your body were inflicted by them?"
Lu Yao gritted his teeth: "It's them, along with Lao Xu, Qin Hai, Tan Zhenmin..."
He rattled off names of more than ten people, his eyes filled with hatred, as if he wished he could devour them all alive.
Old Xu and the others in the corridor heard everything, and Tan Zhenmin next to him couldn't help but purse his lips.
"That son of a bitch has a really good memory; he actually remembered them all. It's a good thing we turned ourselves in!"
"Do you think he might turn around and accuse us of starting it?"
Qin Hai naturally knew his worries and lowered his voice, saying, "We have no grudge against him and have no motive to do this."
“The police aren’t stupid; they might not believe everything he says.”
The others were still a little worried, so Qi Gong'an wrote down everyone's names.
"Who started it? They can say you started it."
Qi Gong'an continued to ask questions.
Lu Yao's face was gloomy. He wanted to turn the tables and say that those people had deliberately picked a fight and ganged up on him.
But after holding back, he admitted that he had struck first, because he knew that Lao Xu and the others wouldn't admit it.
These people are all locals from Haishi, and their local networks are intricate and complex. He can't fight against so many people on his own.
As for asking Mr. Han for help, he didn't even think about it; who told him to be in this state now?
He might have been useful to Mr. Han before, but he's definitely useless now.
Qi Gong'an breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing that Lu Yao admitted that he had started the fight, he continued to ask, "Why did you hit him?"
Lu Yao gritted his teeth and said, "Because they provoked me in such a sarcastic way!"
"I was just so angry. I only wanted to hit Qin Hai, but the others stopped me from doing so."
"I couldn't control my temper, and I hit anyone who tried to stop me..."
Lu Yao was a little out of breath as he spoke, clearly struggling to catch his breath.
The doctor next to him quickly said, "The patient is not in good condition, let's call it a day."
Qi Gong'an put away his notebook and pen, got up, and left with two other colleagues.
After leaving the hospital, Qi Gong'an said in a deep voice, "The victim took the initiative to provoke others. The dozen or so people who attacked him brought him here for treatment afterward and even turned themselves in. He should be given a lenient sentence."
The old policeman who had seen Lu Yao's medical records said, "They were quite ruthless. I know these people a bit; they're all local thugs. Most of them didn't tell the whole truth."
"These people probably got into an argument during gambling, which led to the fight."
“Lu Yao’s right leg is lame and he has a brain hemorrhage. The treatment costs will definitely be very high. He doesn’t look like a rich family’s child.”
After remaining silent for a moment, Officer Xu said, "Contact Lu Yao's family as soon as possible. Lu Yao's condition is not suitable for communication."
Qi Gong nodded. They quickly found out that Lu Yao was a junior at Shanghai University.
The police helped him get leave from school and contacted his family.
When Guan Xiuqin received a call from the police saying that Lu Yao had been seriously injured and was currently hospitalized, she almost fainted.
"Where is he injured? Which hospital is he in?"
Guan Xiuqin asked, her voice trembling with tears.
Her foot hadn't fully healed, and she walked with a limp, tears streaming down her face.
The police briefly explained the situation and asked her to come over as soon as possible.
Guan Xiuqin wiped away her tears, and after hanging up the phone, she couldn't help but burst into tears.
"How could this happen? Xiao Qing is ruined, and now Xiao Yao is in trouble too, God!"
She screamed so horribly that she completely broke down.
When Liang Min's son saw her like this, he was stunned and stood there staring at her blankly.
After crying for half an hour, Guan Xiuqin finally came to her senses. She struggled to get up and looked at her feet.
She can barely walk now, and she might not even be able to squeeze onto a train heading south.
Besides, she doesn't have much money right now. She heard from the police that Xiao Yao was seriously injured and will definitely need a lot of money for treatment.
Thinking this, she quickly called Lujia Village, and for the time being, she could only ask Lu Jianjun to make the trip.
Lu Yao is his biological son, and he dotes on Lu Yao to the core. Guan Xiuqin is very comfortable letting Lu Jianjun take care of Lu Yao.
When the village officials received Guan Xiuqin's call, they couldn't help but curl their lips in a mocking smile.
One of the straightforward people asked directly, "What do you need Lu Jianjun for?"
