Everyone was wailing in agony, waiting for the police to arrive; at this moment, I was already panicking because of those broken teeth, I knew what this meant...

People who gradually came to their senses began to look at Chen Bailu with eyes of gloating, and I followed their gazes; Chen Bailu, however, responded to everything with a calmness that should not have appeared in this situation; finally, his eyes stopped on me...

He picked up the broken phone from the ground, walked up to me, typed a line of words, and asked, "Brother, are we still going to the bar tonight?"

I was stunned, and after a long while I replied, "I guess I can't go."

……

In the police station, I sat opposite a policeman whom I had never met before. He tapped the table with a pen and said to me, "We have already figured out the process of your fight... You are the least calm one... They are all your colleagues... At least you should figure out who is right and who is wrong before making a judgment... How can you just go up and kick me..."

"There's nothing to judge. The most hurtful thing in this world is the mouth. If he becomes mute and can't speak, how can he hurt others?"

"ashtray."

I stared at the policeman for a long time before I replied, "We need to understand the cause and effect of this matter... He didn't start by hitting that grandson with an ashtray."

"The cause is not important now, what matters is the result... That grandson has three broken teeth, it's a minor injury... Do you know what a minor injury means?"

"Uh... Policeman, given your position, it's not appropriate for you to call him grandson, right?"

The police officer was stunned for a moment and replied: "You led me astray!"

"I was so happy for nothing. I thought you were on our side."

"Don't talk nonsense. Our stance is only about fairness and justice..." After a short pause, he asked me, "Have you ever practiced this? That flying kick is quite something."

"Brother Policeman, you don't have to beat around the bush... You're asking this because you want to prove that I did it... I admit it... I know you have surveillance footage."

"Admit it, it will be easier for me...just wait here for notification."

“Can we go through the mediation process?”

"Mediation is definitely necessary, and it is also a fact that there are minor injuries... You'd better be mentally prepared."

I responded, and the policeman stood up at the same time, trying to leave. I called him again: "Brother policeman...was my flying kick really that cool?...I want to see the surveillance footage."

"Is this what you've prepared yourself for?"

"What difference does it make whether or not we are mentally prepared for the foreseeable consequences?"

"You are truly courageous... It's a pity that you didn't use your courage in the right way, otherwise you could have become a real figure!"

……

It seemed to be raining outside, and the raindrops hit the leaves, making a rustling sound. I listened to this sound and gradually became distracted... I no longer thought about anything deliberately until I could no longer hear the sound of rain.

My immersion also lost its carrier at this moment, and I finally remembered Chen Bailu and his sister Chen Qianyu.

I felt mixed emotions and felt that he should not have worked as a security guard in our company. A company is like society, but he doesn't even have language skills. There will always be people who will not miss the opportunity to bully and discriminate against him.

There is never a shortage of bad people in this world, who are simply bad and have no reason to be bad.

Chen Bailu should be protected, and Chen Qianyu should lean on the big tree that belongs to her, because fate has already put shackles on them that cannot be broken or escaped.

……

I don’t know how long it took, but the policeman came back and brought me a result. The prerequisite for the other party to accept mediation with me was that he had to pay 10,000 yuan as compensation.

I accepted and signed my name on the mediation agreement.

I asked Chen Bailu again, but the other party was unwilling to mediate with Chen Bailu. Strictly speaking, it was not that they were unwilling to accept mediation, but they just wanted to use the pressure of criminal responsibility to force Chen Bailu to pay a sky-high compensation.

At present, they have not made a clear bid, and Chen Bailu has been detained.

……

I walked down the street in a gloomy mood, and then met Fang Yuan in a restaurant near the police station. I knew the purpose of the meeting, but after we sat down, we fell into silence and started smoking...

Fang Yuan sighed, and finally spoke before me: "I found out the reason why Chen Bailu fought..."

I looked up at Fang Yuan.

Fang Yuan also lit a cigarette, took a deep puff, and continued, "The trouble is that Chen Qianyu paid your debt for you... The security department is the most idle, and some people gossiped, saying that Chen Qianyu is a nightclub girl you met in the nightclub, and that you are a gigolo following the nightclub girl... Chen Bailu was so angry that he trembled when he heard it... Then he typed on his mobile phone and told them... You and Chen Qianyu are in a legitimate relationship, and you may be his brother-in-law in the future... How could the people who spread the rumors listen to it, and insisted that your relationship is not legitimate... This made Chen Bailu anxious, and when we went over, the two of them had already fought for several rounds..."

I remained silent.

"Why are you silent at this time?... This matter needs to have a conclusion. Do you think we should call Junior Sister Qianyu? We can't keep Chen Bailu in custody forever."

I finally said, "Go ahead and call her. She's flying back home tomorrow, and we can't hide this."

"You fight or I fight?"

"I don't know how to start, so you should just hit me."

Fang Yuan put out the cigarette in his hand, and then called Chen Qianyu...

……

After a while, Fang Yuan ended the call with Chen Qianyu. He thought I would be interested in the content of the conversation, but I didn't ask. Finally, he couldn't hold back and took the initiative to ask me: "What do you think about this matter?"

"It's time to pay the money."

"It's not as simple as you think... Yan Yan has a classmate whose cousin works at that police station... Chang Jun (the security guard who was beaten) relied on his minor injuries and was ready to ask for 150,000 yuan, otherwise he would not accept mediation... This is 150,000 yuan, do you think it's a matter of paying the money when it's due?"

I remained silent, and I felt that Fang Yuan seemed to be testing something.

"Zhaoyang, I don't know how much you won on that scratch ticket..."

Fang Yuan was interrupted by me before he could finish his words: "Don't think about taking the scratch ticket... I won't pay the compensation for him."

Fang Yuan had an incredible expression on his face, and after a while he replied: "This... you are loyal to everyone... why do you change your attitude when it comes to Chen Bailu's turn?"

"I don't want to be tied to them, the siblings, endlessly."

Fang Yuan had a complicated expression, and then said: "In fact, there is nothing wrong with Junior Sister Qianyu... Chen Bailu even protects you as an idol... If you can take this opportunity to accept them... For you, it is a kind of self-salvation... Your work ability is obvious to all. As a brother for so many years, I sincerely hope that you can cheer up. As long as you can cheer up, starting a family in Suzhou is just around the corner..."

"Don't be a planner. If you have this kind of imagination, you should write novels... Don't say I don't respond to you. How much do you know about Chen Qianyu?"

"Uh... we just added each other's contact information not long ago... how can I know?"

"I don't want to say more to you... Just wait and see the result of Chen Bailu's incident... Someone will pay for his impulsiveness... But that person will definitely not be me."
