Chapter 95 Reminiscing about Gongjin in his prime
Before entering the room, Lu Zhaoye had the fat man secretly record a video on his phone, and the recording was very targeted.
The video only showed the middle-aged boss and the fat Er Gou; there was no footage of Lu Zhaoye hitting anyone.
"Officer Luo, this brat is lying! He really did hit me!"
Er Gou was handcuffed and taken away by the police, shouting angrily.
The middle-aged boss was the same, except he was weeping and confessing.
"Officer, I was really wrong. I have elderly parents and young children to support..."
"..."
Lu Zhaoye stood at the restaurant entrance with Xu Qingwan and Xiao Zifang, still looking very well-behaved.
Officer Luo turned off the body camera hanging on his body, rolled his eyes at Lu Zhaoye, and said irritably,
"Can't you just behave yourself?"
Lu Zhaoye smiled, patted Officer Luo's arm, and said with a grin,
"Brother Luo, what are you saying? I'm a model student and a Young Pioneer."
Officer Luo smirked and kicked Lu Zhaoye in the shin.
"Do you think I'm stupid? That fat guy would fall over while eating?"
Lu Zhaoye nudged Xiao Zifang beside him and asked with interest,
"Is it possible?"
"Sure," Xiao Zifang replied with a grin.
Officer Luo ignored them, turned around, took out his phone, and made a call.
Seeing this, Lu Zhaoye patted his butt and whispered to Officer Luo,
"Brother Luo, you go ahead and get busy, we'll be going now."
After saying that, Lu Zhaoye turned to leave, but his shoulder was suddenly grabbed.
"Wait a minute."
Officer Luo had already hung up the phone and spoke to Lu Zhaoye and the other two.
"Come with me to the police station to make a statement."
"?"
Lu Zhaoye was stunned, his eyes widening. He had done this kind of thing several times before and never went to the police station.
"Someone from above came recently."
......
......
Lu Zhaoye and Xiao Zifang were both seasoned veterans; they took notes quickly and knew what to say in detail and what to skip.
Lu Zhaoye and his companion waited at the police station entrance for ten minutes. Seeing that Xu Qingwan had not yet come out, Lu Zhaoye told the fat man to go back first.
Officer Luo came out after finishing his work and stood next to Lu Zhaoye.
Lu Zhaoye glanced at his older brother and said,
"Why is my friend still inside? She was the one who was bullied the whole time."
Officer Luo glanced at Lu Zhaoye, raised an eyebrow, and said with a smile,
"Do you think everyone goes to the police station as often as you do? That giving a statement is as easy as solving elementary school math problems?"
Lu Zhaoye pursed his lips and didn't say anything.
When he first entered high school, he often dragged Luo Xiao into fights everywhere.
Every expedition was a resounding success, because Officer Luo would always arrive with his men just as they were about to be routed...
Officer Luo's real name is Luo Tian. Although he shares the same surname, he is not actually related to Luo Xiao by blood.
However, since Luo Xiao's father had promoted her from a low-level employee, he naturally knew Luo Xiao and Lu Zhaoye. In the area of No. 2 Middle School, he often turned a blind eye to what Lu Zhaoye and others did.
However, Luo Tian knew in his heart that Lu Zhaoye's fight was just a children's quarrel.
Who didn't do that when they were young?
In his view, it was no different from children playing house.
Moreover, Luo Tian also discovered that if Lu Zhaoye got involved in things that had nothing to do with him, it was mostly because he couldn't stand by and watch something happen.
For example, today, Luo Tian actually knew that it was all the boss and the fat man's fault, but Lu Zhaoye beat up the fat man before they arrived in order to help his friend get revenge.
Thinking of this, Luo Tian became curious and turned to ask,
"Hey kid, who's that girl to you? Your girlfriend?"
Lu Zhaoye quickly raised his hand and waved, saying bluntly,
"That's my deskmate, don't overthink it."
Luo Tian secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He could see Luo Xiao's feelings for this brat, but he didn't ask any further questions. Instead, he abruptly changed the subject and said meaningfully,
"You brat, you've grown up. Sometimes you can't just act impulsively and fight without thinking. You need to think about who's behind you."
"You're a capable guy, you'll make it out of this small place sooner or later. There are many powerful people out there, so you must not act rashly, you must think twice before you act."
Lu Zhaoye stood there, stunned, his smile fading, and nodded.
"I know, Brother Luo. It's all thanks to you. Otherwise, I wouldn't dare to do this."
"Once you go outside, I won't be there to protect you like I am."
Luo Tian patted Lu Zhaoye on the shoulder and said with a smile.
The two chatted at the door for a while before Xu Qingwan came out.
Lu Zhaoye and Luo Tian greeted each other and then slowly walked towards the school. Since the police station was a bit far away, Lu Zhaoye planned to take a taxi back.
"Lu Zhaoye, shall we walk back?"
Luo Xiao, following behind Lu Zhaoye, suddenly spoke.
Lu Zhaoye was looking around for a taxi when he heard Xu Qingwan's words and was amused.
"It's almost four o'clock by the time you've gone back and forth. Why aren't you getting back to school yet?"
"And do you know how far we are from school? It's really far."
Xu Qingwan pouted, slowed her pace, looked at the not-so-blinding sun on the horizon, and said slowly,
I want to stay with you a little longer.
Lu Zhaoye stopped in his tracks, only then realizing that Xu Qingwan was several steps behind him. He turned around and exhaled.
"Okay, then I'll stay with you a little longer."
The two slowed their pace as they walked along the road. The weather was rather muggy as June approached, and the cicadas' chirping had already quietly begun, but Lu Zhaoye hadn't paid any attention to it.
He smelled the fragrance emanating from the girl beside him, and his restless heart gradually calmed down. He took his hands out of his pockets, and a smile appeared on his lips.
It wasn't until Xu Qingwan's icy-cold hand grasped his arm that she lowered her head and timidly spoke.
"Lu Zhaoye...I'm so scared."
Lu Zhaoye was taken aback, then responded with a drawn-out syllable.
"It's okay, they're all scumbags, aren't I here?"
Xu Qingwan thought of what the two people had said at the restaurant and couldn't help but sob softly. Then she stopped and grabbed Lu Zhaoye's arm.
"Lu Zhaoye, I want a hug."
Lu Zhaoye sighed inwardly, pulled Xu Qingwan under the shade of a tree, and opened his arms wide.
Xu Qingwan immediately rushed in, wrapped her arms around Lu Zhaoye's waist, grabbed his back with both hands, pressed her face against his chest, and cried loudly.
Lu Zhaoye gently patted Xu Qingwan's head with one hand and her shoulder with the other.
The two of them stood silently under the big tree, embracing each other.
At the road corner in the distance, a police car was parked quietly. Luo Tian gripped the steering wheel, watched this scene, sighed, and turned the car around to leave.
