Chapter 61: Help from Everyone
Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
The owner of the voice that barred Ling Yun from leaving was the female traffic police officer.
Ultimately, a traffic police officer was still a police officer. Apart from leaving her in a temporary daze, Ling Yun’s actions of beating someone up had angered her tremendously.
As if being on duty on a Sat.u.r.day was not sickening enough, a serious traffic accident with malicious intent had to occur right under her nose, leaving her in a sticky situation.
Things did not have to become so complicated. The situation could have been handed over to the Criminal Investigation Bureau and she would not have to be involved.
Unfortunately, the more she looked at the 20-centimeter-deep indent on the white BMW caused by the Audi Q7, the more she felt like she was going to get involved.
The car was worth 1 million yuan! It even had a military car plate!
Sun Xing was not just any nouveau riche, he had the military as his backup!
These days, not everyone was able to threaten the traffic police officer after intentionally injuring people in an accident!
The most infuriating part was that the fatty was incapable of understanding the severity of things and heavily injured Sun Xing!
Were these not just causing more trouble for her?!
Thus, while Ling Yun was beating up Sun Xing and treating the old man, she kept herself busy amidst the panicked crowd.
Not only had she secretly inspected Sun Xing’s injury, she had made two separate phone calls.
Of course, one of them was 120, but the other was a phone call to the Criminal Investigation Bureau.
As long as she handed Sun Xing, the perpetrator of the accident, and Ling Yun, the one who initiated the beating, over to the Criminal Investigation Bureau the moment they got there, this incident would be off her hands.
That way, she would be protecting herself as well as adhering to the rules and regulations.
One could say that this female traffic police officer was quick-witted for being able to manage this complicated scenario methodically and seamlessly.
But Ling Yun was about to leave before the detectives from the Criminal Investigation Bureau arrived, which was why she panicked and stopped them from leaving.
Ling Yun furrowed his brows as he sneered at the female traffic police officer.
“No one can leave? Why?”
I was kind enough to save these people’s lives without even asking for any benefits. Did I really get myself into trouble?
“You two injured him badly. You can only leave after the police have arrived and settled everything!”
The female traffic police officer was emanating with self-righteousness as she pointed at Sun Xing, who was still trembling from the agonizing pain as he laid on the ground.
Many of the pedestrians from the crowd were still around when she said that and were unhappy with the way she handled the situation.
“What? Was it necessary to call in the police?”
“Precisely! It was so obvious, even the degenerate himself admitted that he intentionally rammed into people, doesn’t that warrant a beating? I think getting beaten to death would be a light punishment for him!”
“Right! He was definitely a criminal, no harm ridding someone like that! At least he won’t be able to bring harm to people anymore!”
“This young man just saved four lives in a row. Such courage and helpfulness should be commended, why would you hand him over to the police?”
“Precisely! Why didn’t you say anything when Sun Xing was tearing the male officer a new one?”
…
The male traffic police officer felt embarra.s.sed as he listened to the crowd’s discussions. He too believed that his colleague had gone a little too far.
The crowd was enraged!
Even though he was terrified, he put on a tough front as he walked over reluctantly and spoke to his colleague. “w.a.n.g Min, I’ve taken a look, Sun Xing only suffered some external injuries. I think we should let Ling Yun go and hand Sun Xing over to the Criminal Investigation Bureau.”
Turns out, the female officer’s name was w.a.n.g Min.
Even though w.a.n.g Min seemed a little pale after the angered crowd began to criticize her, she still stubbornly said, “Li Yang, we’re abiding by the due process of law! We have to wait for the Criminal Investigation Bureau to arrive and handle the situation!”
w.a.n.g Min could not help but express her disdain towards Li Yang as she thought to herself, What an idiotic coward. Just now, you kept quiet while Sun Xing was ripping you a new one. Now, your brain is still too slow to realize how screwed we will be if this perpetrator’s family decides to investigate!
Xue Meining was the first to lose her composure. She ran straight up to w.a.n.g Min and screamed, “Say, what kind of due process are you abiding by? You knew that Sun Xing intentionally injured people, why didn’t you call in the Criminal Investigation Bureau then?”
“Zhuang Meifeng was knocked unconscious and Brother Ling Yun just helped her to regain consciousness. On the other hand, Sun Xing came over with the intention of harming people, why didn’t you stop him then?”
“Apart from saving people, we even helped you guys to punish the criminal, and you decided to call the police on us instead? Is this your so-called ‘abiding by the due process’?”
Ling Yun was enjoying the show. This Little Demon Girl has got quite a mouth on her. She could probably talk the hind legs off a donkey and all her arguments are reasonable. Well, very well!
Xue Meining’s questions rendered w.a.n.g Min completely speechless. She was left in a daze, with embarra.s.sment written all over her face!
Zhong Qingshan came over and took a look at Sun Xing who was twitching on the ground before scowling at w.a.n.g Min as he said, “Mam, even though it was wrong of Ling Yun to beat someone up, he also saved four lives. You should know how dangerous the situation was for the old man. One could say that, without Ling Yun, the old man would have died before the ambulance arrived and Sun Xing would have been a murderer. Technically speaking, Ling Yun had indirectly saved Sun Xing, so what if he beats him up a little?”
Even though Zhong Qingshan was angry, he was not as strong headed as Xue Meining. He adopted a more reasonable approach to help Ling Yun out.
This made Ling Yun nod in agreement.
“Mam, I think you should let Ling Yun go, I will explain everything to the cops at the police station.”
Zhuang Meifeng also walked up to w.a.n.g Min. She had an ice-cold expression on her face even though her tone was friendly.
Ultimately, the reason that Ling Yun beat Sun Xing up was to protect her!
With regards to the car accident, it was very obvious that Sun Xing was after her and couldn’t care less about her life. Zhuang Meifeng knew that she would have endured all sorts of humiliation from Sun Xing if Ling Yun had not intervened. Based on how well she knew him, she knew that Sun Xing might have even dragged her into his car and raped her while she was unconscious!
As for her family, the entire Zhuang Medical Group would not have it any other way!
All her resistance and retaliation in the past had been in vain, which was why she was so grateful for Ling Yun.
“No! Absolutely not! He was the one who beat someone up, no one is able to cover for him! I know it was an act of bravery, but I have to handle everything according to the procedure!”
w.a.n.g Min’s was losing confidence as she realized everyone was against her, but her tone became even more stubborn.
Ling Yun had a faint smile on his face as his only response while he watched w.a.n.g Min make a fool of herself.
Xue Meining absolutely lost it when she saw that w.a.n.g Min was madly persistent about not letting them go!
“I’m telling you, don’t think you can bully us just because we’re young. I’m letting you know that we are going to leave right now. If you dare to stop us, I’ll rip your uniform to shreds!”
“Brother Ling Yun, let’s go!”
Xue Meining then held onto Ling Yun’s arm and ran off!
Her precious Ferrari was still in the middle of the road. Now that she was done saving people, the Little Demon Girl began to worry about her car!
It was not just any Ferrari, it was a limited-edition Ferrari. A light scratch on her precious Ferrari would cause her considerable distress for several days!
w.a.n.g Min also did not notice Xue Meining’s car. If she had known that both of them came on a Ferrari, she probably would not have intervened!
w.a.n.g Min was stunned by Xue Meining’s words and wondered why there were so many random people coming up to them today saying they could rip their uniforms to shreds.
However, it was impossible for her to turn back now. Seeing as they were leaving, she did not think twice before reaching her arm out to stop them.
Seeing how inconsiderate w.a.n.g Min was, Ling Yun could only shake his head helplessly as he continued walking forward with Xue Meining. When he got closer to w.a.n.g Min, he jabbed her with his finger at lightning speed.
His movement was so fast and so stealthy, even w.a.n.g Min herself did not realize it.
w.a.n.g Min was about to shout at Ling Yun to stop him before suddenly, she felt half of her body go numb and was unable to speak!
It was as if the right side of her body had been electrocuted, her right arm drooped downwards and before she knew it, her legs gave in and she plopped down onto the ground.
All she could do was look as Ling Yun and Xue Meining left the scene.
“w.a.n.g Min, what happened to you? Are you right?” Li Yang was puzzled as he saw w.a.n.g Min who had been acting so tough plop onto the ground.
w.a.n.g Min herself did not know what happened to her and she could only begin to speak after two minutes had pa.s.sed.
“No-Nothing…”
w.a.n.g Min was as pale as a ghost when she replied through her chattering teeth.
Is karma real? w.a.n.g Min was shaken to the core.
Zhuang Meifeng looked as Ling Yun left. Even though she wanted to catch up to him, she decided against it after much contemplation before returning to her car.
Everything had happened because of her, of course she could not leave before the police arrived.
Ling Yun and Xue Meining quickly arrived at the car. She heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that her precious Ferrari was safe and sound.
“That female officer was so detestable, we were clearly acting heroically! Brother Ling Yun, are you angry?”
Xue Meining floored the gas pedal as if it was Sun Xing’s despicable face.
Ling Yun chuckled at the sight and replied, “What’s there to be angry about? My mood is fantastic after saving those people and beating that b*stard up!”
“Brother Ling Yun, is that old man really alright? He injured his head, right? I saw you placing so many needles into the major acupuncture points on his head.”
What Xue Meining had for Ling Yun then was pure admiration. Ling Yun melted every single time she called him “brother” and was felt extremely satisfied.
“Mhmm, as long as they reattach his rib bones in the hospital and he recuperates, he’ll be back to his healthy self in 100 days.”
To be honest, as Ling Yun recalled the grat.i.tude in the eyes of those two high school girls, Zhuang Meifeng, as well as the old man who had desperately wanted to open his eyes to take a look at his savior, he suddenly realized the ability to save these people’s lives granted him some form of satisfaction.
“Brother Ling Yun, you were absolutely amazing!”
Xue Meining was not stingy with her compliments and admiration.
Seven minutes later, Xue Meining’s car came to a halt before a luxurious shopping mall.
They had finally arrived at the busiest street in Qingshui City, Pedestrian Shopping Street.
