I even warned them that if they stole again, we would call the police. And you know what they said? They said the police are useless and can't catch them at all.
Upon hearing this, the Zhu brothers' faces darkened; Ye Cheng was simply spouting nonsense.
They only said the police had no evidence, but they didn't say the police were useless.
"Alright, we'll investigate these things when we get back. Except for the family members, the rest of you should disperse and go do whatever you need to do."
As for what Ye Cheng said, Liu Jin believed half of it and half of it. But the truth was probably as he said. As for whether Ye Cheng cursed the police or not, that was just a casual remark.
After the people were driven away, the ambulance arrived quickly, with two vehicles, and the two groups of people each got into one.
Although Ye Cheng repeatedly insisted that he was fine, the doctor still lifted him up into the car, and Ye Guowei accompanied him.
After arriving at the hospital, both sides underwent separate examinations. Ye Cheng's injuries were all superficial, with a stitch in his eye socket and his head wrapped in a bandage.
The wound on his abdomen wasn't deep, but to protect it, the nurse quickly wrapped it with gauze.
When Ye Cheng came out, Ye Guowei was stunned.
"Acheng, are you seriously injured?"
Ye Cheng gave a wry smile. "Brother, these are just superficial injuries. I can't do anything about it if the hospital insists on doing it this way."
After learning about Ye Cheng's injuries, Liu Jin came over.
"Ye Cheng, we have also examined the situation of the four members of the Zhu family. Zhu Liwen has a fracture in his left upper arm, which is a minor injury."
Upon hearing the words "minor injury," Ye Cheng immediately frowned.
Minor injuries can be considered a criminal offense, and if my injury is included in that category, I'll be in trouble.
Fortunately, Liu Jin continued speaking.
“We have now investigated and found that the main responsibility for the conflict at the dock lies with the four Zhu brothers, so we will impose a five-day administrative detention on the Zhu brothers.”
"What about the fish that were stolen from us? What do you say about that?" Duan Chunsheng interjected.
"As for fish," Liu Jin paused for a moment.
“We still need to go to the scene to investigate, but without evidence, unless they confess themselves, it will be difficult for us to convict them. Of course, you also have the right to ask us to continue the investigation, but I don’t think it will be of much use.”
Ye Cheng understood what Liu Jin was saying. There were no witnesses at the scene, and as for physical evidence, the other party's boat had sunk, making it even more impossible to find.
They really have to admit it themselves, but they're not stupid, so why would they admit it?
"Let's talk about that later. Shouldn't they cover our medical expenses?" Ye Cheng asked.
All three of my men are injured. These brothers are ruthless; they even stole my fish. I can't let them pay the price.
"Yes, yes, Director Liu, I heard there are also compensations for lost wages, emotional distress, and post-treatment nutrition expenses, which can easily amount to hundreds of thousands of yuan." Ye Guowei had been relatively free lately and had watched a lot of TV, and now he finally had the chance to use a scene from a TV show.
Upon hearing this, Liu Jin quickly waved his hand.
"Guowei, there isn't that much. That's all from TV. There are compensations for lost wages and nutritional expenses, but it's very difficult to get compensation for emotional distress. You have to go to court, which takes a long time."
"Then fight! What's there to be afraid of! It's just paying lawyer fees, right? I'll pay!" Ye Guowei was full of indignation. His brother had been beaten like this, what was a little money?
Ye Cheng looked at his older brother in surprise. "Wow, brother, you're acting like a tycoon now."
"Um..." Liu Jin's expression suddenly turned troubled, and he looked at Ye Cheng as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
Seeing that he seemed to have something inconvenient to say, Ye Cheng pointed to the people present and said...
"It's alright, Chief Liu, we're all family, you've already agreed."
Liu Jin nodded, looked at Ye Cheng with a troubled expression, and then said,
"Second brother, my personal suggestion is to just detain them and that's it. Forget about the compensation, including medical expenses. You don't need that little bit of money."
Everyone was stunned for a moment. Was Liu Jin planning to take sides?
Ye Guowei was the first to disagree, and was about to speak when Ye Cheng stopped him.
Although Liu Jin isn't particularly skilled in his work, he's a fairly normal person. Judging from his behavior, there must be some inside story.
"Director Liu, just say what you have to say all at once."
"It's like this." Just as Liu was about to speak, he saw an old woman with faltering steps rush out of the hospital. She was wearing a smudged cloth outfit and had a messy head of white hair. As soon as she came in, she started looking around aimlessly.
"Director Liu, Director Liu!" The old lady called out loudly as soon as she saw Liu Jin, and then ran over quickly.
Ye Cheng was still wondering if she had come to report a crime to Liu Jin when the old lady suddenly knelt down in front of Liu Jin.
Holy crap!
This startled Ye Cheng.
He quickly took two steps back; he couldn't accept that.
He couldn't accept the honor, and Liu Jin didn't dare to either, so he quickly squatted down to help the old lady up.
"Aunt Li, get up quickly! Why are you kneeling? There are so many people in the hospital."
This made Aunt Li absolutely refuse to get up; she stubbornly remained kneeling there, pleading with Liu Jin.
"Director Liu, I know my sons are fighting again. Please have mercy on them and let them go. Don't put them in jail. If they go to jail, their lives will be over."
As she spoke, the old lady pushed Liu Jin aside and kowtowed to the ground without a second thought.
A few thumping sounds.
Ye Cheng's heart trembled upon hearing this.
Good heavens, it's one thing for such an elderly person to kneel in front of you, but now they're actually kowtowing, and doing it so loudly that everyone in the hospital is watching.
The men couldn't stand still for a moment. Ye Cheng, disregarding his appearance, quickly squatted down with Liu and managed to pull the old lady up.
When Ye Cheng pulled her up, his heart skipped a beat. The old woman's forehead was indeed bleeding. This old woman really had the heart to do that.
"Aunt Li, why are you doing this?" Liu Jin was anxious, but he couldn't scold her, so he could only slap his thigh hard.
Before Ye Cheng could ask what was going on, several surprised shouts came from afar.
"Mom, what brings you here?"
Ye Cheng turned around and saw that the four Zhu brothers were being escorted out by several policemen. They had already finished their inspection and, according to regulations, they were now to be taken back for detention.
Is this Aunt Li the mother of the Zhu brothers?
Ye Cheng looked at Liu Jin, who nodded helplessly.
"Mom, why is your head bleeding?" Zhu Liwen dragged the police officer over, and upon seeing the bloodstains on his mother's forehead, he instantly flew into a rage.
He looked at Ye Cheng, pointed at Ye Cheng, and roared.
"Ye Cheng, if you dare to hurt my mother, I'll fight you to the death."
