Chapter 28 Reconciliation
Jiang Le tucked Lin Jin's scattered hair behind her ears, held her hand and told her not to worry.
"We saw someone being beaten in the square in the chat group. Everyone said it was a student from the computer science department. We took a look out of curiosity and found out it was you."
"We couldn't contact you at the time, so we had to call the counselor. But not long after, Sister Qing received a call from the police saying that you were taken to the Public Security Bureau."
Hua Yi turned her head and comforted Lin Jin, "Don't worry, Lin Jin, I have a lawyer at home too. If they are aggressive and don't give in, we will go to court with you."
Mingsui didn't say anything, but used her actions to show that she would always stand by Lin Jin. She took a step closer to Li Dabiao and the others, blocking their view.
Lin Jin's heart was filled with ripples. "I'm fine. Thank you."
Their counselor Yu Qing confirmed that Lin Jin was fine and continued the topic.
"You said my students were fighting each other, so please show us relevant evidence, such as medical reports and injuries. You can't tell anything just by watching the video."
"Judging from your stature, you guys are as big as horses, while my students are so weak that they can be blown down by a gust of wind. Who would believe you if you said you beat me so hard that my stomach hurts? You don't even know how to draft a lie."
Yu Qing's words really hit Li Dabiao's heart. He sneered twice at the lawyer's complaining look.
It was also strange that there was no wound on his body and he was caught on the spot by the police.
If the case really goes to court, they will be at a disadvantage.
Li Dabiao thinks it is not a good idea to go out today.
No, I should say don’t go out for the next week. I always feel that I will have bad luck in the future.
Finally, after a group of people coordinated at the Public Security Bureau for a long time, Li Dabiao reluctantly gave up discussing the mental damages.
They agreed, but Lin Jin refused to give in.
At the strong request of his roommate and counselor, Li Dabiao had to pay Lin Jin 30,000 yuan in mental damages.
Originally, they were not satisfied with the price, but after carefully checking Lin Jin's inspection report, they doubled the price.
Before he could finish the first half of his sentence, Li Dabiao's lawyer spoke sinisterly from the side.
"Don't be too greedy. Our bottom line is 30,000. If it exceeds that, we would rather go to court for mediation. Then we will drag it out and see who can outlast the other."
After this warning, Lin Jin stopped Hua Yi and the others and said, "No need, 30,000 is fine. I accept the mediation." She gave her bank card number and Li Dabiao transferred the money to her on the spot.
The two parties signed a settlement agreement under the witness of the police, and it was almost dawn when they came out of the public security bureau.
Li Dabiao and his team went ahead and as soon as they left the police station, they got into the car parked outside with their lawyer.
They passed by Lin Jin, and Li Dabiao rolled down the window and gave Lin Jin an annoying smile.
"Here's a piece of advice for you. Don't set up a stall in the square anymore. Otherwise, you will never be able to open your stall."
After he said that, he drove away quickly.
Minghui, who had a bad temper, couldn't help but curse at the back of the car.
"What's wrong with you? It's none of your business if we set up a stall. What's the matter? This land belongs to you, you are not allowed to set up a stall!"
Mingsui cursed, and Lin Jin held her arm and pulled her back.
"Don't go to Mingsui, or you'll get mad. I won't set up a stall in the square next time."
Mingsui stood up for her.
"But you are too wronged. You are threatened by thugs even for a living. You all saw how arrogant they were in the Public Security Bureau just now. They didn't admit to extorting money, but only admitted to a verbal dispute."
"They are showing off because no controlled items were found on them. I really want to hit them with a club."
She bared her teeth in the direction where the traffic disappeared. If she had the chance, she would definitely go up and beat Li Dabiao and the others with a stick.
"It's okay. I've already been compensated." Lin Jin turned to thank Yu Qing and her roommate, "Thank you for your hard work, counselor. I'm sorry that you had to come to the police station to rescue me in the middle of the night."
Yu Qing hugged the person in her arms, "No, it's not your fault, don't blame yourself. I didn't know you were setting up a stall, if that was the case I should have applied for a subsidy for you earlier."
Logically, she was also responsible for what happened tonight. The student was in financial difficulty, and as a counselor, she knew very little about Lin Jin.
Although I knew that Lin Jin had applied for a student loan when school started, I didn't know that she still needed to rely on setting up a stall to earn a living.
It was getting late, so Yu Qing personally drove the four of them back to school and also asked for a few days off for Lin Jin so that she could rest in the dormitory for a few days.
Once back in the dormitory, everyone actively helped Lin Jin.
One person helped her apply medicine, one used a plastic bag to collect cold water to reduce the swelling on her face, and another brought her hot water.
While the three roommates were busy running around, Lin Jin silently kept this kindness in her heart.
It was almost one o'clock when Lin Jin finished her work. After washing up, she climbed onto the bed with her computer, closed the bed curtains, and searched the Internet for information about Li Dabiao's tattoo.
She entered the local public account and typed in "skull tattoo" and several pictures popped up.
This was not what Lin Jin wanted, so she changed her search method.
Type in "Anshi gang fight" and this time several posts pop up.
Excluding the news from outside the market, only the last press release remains.
It was a notice issued by the Anshi Police Department two years ago that there was a disturbance near a certain street and a group of people smashed a store with sticks.
Among them were the shop owners, a couple who were seriously injured and the man was sent to the hospital.
This group of people were arrested and brought to justice soon afterwards. Due to the reconciliation between the two sides and their voluntary surrender, the main culprit Li Dabiao was only sentenced to six months in prison.
Lin Jin clicked on the picture to check it out, and by comparing photos from several angles, she determined that the man named Li Dabiao was the one who blackmailed her.
After writing down this information, he searched the news for buildings around the street and the place where Li Dabiao was when the photo was taken.
When she saw a familiar name, Lin Jin froze in mid-air with the pen in her hand, unable to put it down.
It's you!
.....
Lin Jin rested in the dormitory for three days. It was not until Saturday that the redness and swelling on her face subsided and the bruises on her body gradually disappeared.
She hardly left the house for three days and relied entirely on her roommates to bring her meals.
No one wanted to take Lin Jin's money and they all made excuses.
Lame excuses like I ordered an extra portion and no one wanted to eat it, I'm on a diet and don't want to eat it, or I'm treating everyone to a meal.
Lin Jin could only do what she could, and was responsible for the hygiene of the dormitory, changing the water, washing clothes, etc.
It was not until Saturday that Lin Jin felt much better. She said goodbye to her counselor and roommate, then left the school and went to a cell phone repair shop next to the school.
She placed her broken phone in front of the store owner and asked, "Boss, my phone is broken. Can it be repaired?"
The mobile phone shop owner opened the plastic bag and checked it, then said regretfully: "It's not very good. This phone must have been a model from a long time ago, and it's broken into pieces like this. I guess the chances of repairing it are slim."
"If I change my phone, can I still export the content in it? For example, Fetion voice messages."
The shop owner laughed and said, "The phone is broken and can't be turned on, so the data can't be exported."
Lin Jin was not giving up. "Boss, could you please try to help me? This phone is very important to me."
"I don't want anything else, but the photo album and Fetion chat history are very important to me. Can you please help me?"
She looked pleading, and the mobile phone shop owner kept turning the words of rejection around in his mouth, but he still did not reject her.
"Okay, I'll try my best. I can't say whether it will work or not."
Lin Jin hurriedly thanked the boss, "Thank you, boss. Please do your best."
The phone was left in the store for repair. The store owner took out the SIM card, put it on an old-fashioned phone and gave it to Lin Jin.
"You can use it first. If it is fixed, I will call you to let you know. If it is not fixed, I will also let you know."
Lin Jin thanked him again and again, paid a deposit of 100 yuan and walked out of the mobile phone store.
She walked to the bus stop and waited for about a few minutes before a bus came towards her.
After swiping her card to get on the bus, Lin Jin sat in the last row, opened the window and looked out, quietly waiting for the bus to take her forward.
