I am chasing a rough man in the 80s
Chapter 507: This is Fantasy

Chapter 507: Chapter 507: This is Fantasy

Yu Jingting had just had a meeting. After the meeting, he was passing by and happened to witness this scene.

Jiaojiao came running in crying, brick in hand, shouting that she had killed someone.

Baby was terrified.

Suizi ​​had a rough idea after listening to the whole process.

"Don’t be afraid. Regardless of whether the person is dead or alive, or how severe their injuries are, Jiaojiao and Xiaopang have not committed any crime."

This was self-defense. If the children hadn’t bravely intervened, the homeless woman who was trying to help would have been hurt by that bastard with a knife.

Even if that ruffian was seriously hurt, under the principle of justifiable self-defense, the two children, only eleven years old, would not bear any criminal responsibility.

That being said, the children’s morale was definitely impacted, especially Jiaojiao’s.

She personally hit him with the brick.

She originally intended to hit his shoulder, to make the bastard drop the knife.

However, because that guy wasn’t very tall and Jiaojiao was in a hurry, she missed.

Jiaojiao was extremely guilt-stricken, shedding endless tears.

"Have you reported it?"

Yu Jingting nodded.

Such a big event couldn’t be kept a secret. After having sent the injured to the hospital, he asked the Yang brothers to notify Suizi and report the incident to the police.

"Suizi, why don’t you take the children out for some ice cream and try to console them?" Yu Jingting gave her a look.

His glance made Suizi realize he had something planned, causing her to narrow her eyes.

Yu Jingting nodded slightly.

Suizi lowered her eyes, thought for a moment, and felt like she had an idea of what he was thinking, but she didn’t say anything. When she looked at him again, her eyes were full of trust.

The couple communicated entirely through eye contact; Suizie felt like she now had some special connection with Yu Jingting.

Suizi took the children out of the hospital. Yu Jingting clearly needed to do something not suitable for children to witness, and Suizi understood him perfectly.

Outside the hospital, there was a grocery store, where ice creams produced by Yu Jingting’s factory were being showcased. The winter outdoors in the north was a natural freezer.

While Suizi was buying the ice creams for the children, she turned around to find the two children standing under a bald tree, hugging each other and crying.

Suizi couldn’t help but chuckle.

These children and this scene, were they performing in a melodrama?

"Xiaopang, if I get arrested, I’ll have to have you take care of my parents. My mom loves to eat pine nuts, and without me, no one will be around to collect them for her."

"Hey, hey, don’t talk like that~ if anyone is going to get arrested, it should be me~"

"And my piggy bank, just hand it over to my brother. That fool has no spending money. Our home used to be able to depend on me, but now that won’t be the case anymore. Thankfully my sister-in-law is capable—"

The more Jiaojiao spoke, the sadder she became, and the more desolate the scene became in her mind.

As the hope of the whole family, her life was now "ruined".

"No, you can’t go in! You still have a grand life to live, you still have to go to college. I’ll take your place, when the police uncle comes to make arrests, I’ll just say I was the one who hit him with the brick!"

"But that’s not okay~ you also have parents~"

"Don’t worry, you just take care of my mom, and I’m okay. My mom just adores you, she always said she would’ve loved to have given birth to a daughter like you. Hey, come to think about it, I haven’t even done my winter break homework yet, do I really want to be penalized by the homeroom teacher... I’ll just go in."

In this poignant and yet childish conversation, Suizi couldn’t help but to feel touched.

Though she was deeply moved, Suizi still had to put an end to this "dramatic" scene.

"What are you all crying for? Who’s going to jail?"

"Sister-in-law!" Jiaojiao launched into Suizi’s arms and started sobbing, "I’ve made him shed blood, I’m going in, you have to look after my parents!"

"It’s good to be filial, but you also must have some basic legal knowledge. Your actions today, they could either be interpreted as courageous intervention or self-defense in the face of danger. Either way, it doesn’t count as intentional harm."

Jiaojiao wiped away her tears.

"So... I don’t have to go in?"

"I don’t have to go in either?" Xiaopang also stopped crying.

"That’s right. Even though you don’t have to go to jail, if you don’t do your homework, your teacher will still penalize you."

Xiaopang scratched his head. But, well, as long as he didn’t have to go to jail, he could stand a punishment.

"There’s still half the winter break left. Start from tomorrow, you’ll come to my house to do homework, and I’ll watch you."

"Um, that... Is that really necessary?" Xiaopang felt a bolt from the blue. Having Jiaojiao’s sister-in-law watching him do homework was worse than being arrested.

"But sister-in-law, my heart still hurts. If that person’s really killed by me..." At this, Jiaojiao cried again.

Suizi felt a soft tug at her heart and held Jiaojiao in her arms.

"Don’t be afraid. We’ll handle whatever big problem that might appear. Furthermore, the guy might not be as badly wounded as you think. We will know how badly he’s hurt when we go to see him."

She also wanted to know, what motivated a group of people to gang up and attack two innocent children.

After having ice cream, the mood of the children improved a bit. Suizi took them for a tour around the place and, sensing that the time was about right, led them back to the hospital.

When they returned to the hospital, things were very different from before.

The ruffian that Jiaojiao knocked down had regained consciousness and his life was no longer in danger.

However, his injuries were a lot more severe than they initially seemed when he was first admitted.

The doctor was completely bewildered as he reported the situation to Liao Yong:

"When the patient was first brought in, he only had a slight concussion, no big deal. But after being left alone in a ward for a while, he suddenly had a broken arm."

The doctor had never seen a case where the patient’s condition worsened while receiving treatment.

The wound on the head was very minor, the type that he could leave the hospital within no time.

But a broken arm, now that was a big deal.

What was more puzzling was that nobody knew how did the ruffian break his arm.

"If the arm was broken in the hospital, then it has nothing to do with our Jiaojiao. You could only say that the hospital has some negligence." Yu Jingting, with one hand in his pocket, was looking quite satisfied.

Suizi winked at him and then turned to look at Father-in-law.

Wang Cuihua was taking care of the children and seemed utterly clueless.

Yu Jingting sensed Suizi’s gaze but immediately averted his own, whistling nonchalantly.

Oh well... Suizi got the hint.

Liao Yong was jotting things down in a notebook on the side, feeling somewhat puzzled.

"How did the patient break his bone again in the hospital? Who was in the ward then?"

"There was only one patient in the ward at the time, and the hospital was very busy, so—"

"This is simple, why don’t we ask him himself?" Yu Jingting interrupted.

Liao Yong and his colleagues thought about it and agreed.

It was necessary to ask the patient himself about the situation.

The unlucky ruffian, with his arm in a cast, was howling like a wounded animal.

"Comrades! You have to stand up for me!"

"Who hit you?"

"Her!" The ruffian pointed at Jiaojiao. "This little girl hit me on the head with a brick!"

"Did she only hit your head?"

The ruffian nodded.

"Then how did your arm get broken?"

"Well, she hit it with a brick too!"

"Can a brick fracture someone’s bone? Show me by breaking one for me." Yu Jingting grinned, an icy glint in his eyes that made the ruffian shudder.
