Chapter 56 I'm a reasonable person

  "Pull all your people back, and we'll continue to talk! Otherwise, if I'm forced into a corner, no one will have a good time! Also, send over a phone, I need to make a call right now!" The female demon said, holding Huang Shao, slowly backing away until they reached the entrance of a storefront. Inside the store, there was only a young cashier girl. To the left of the storefront was an electric pole, and to the right was a stall selling scallion oil pancakes. It would be very difficult for the police to launch a surprise rescue operation!

  "Alright, I'll send someone to deliver the phone!" Seeing that the female demon had seen through the plainclothes agents' disguise, the leading instructor was also quite brazen and waved his hand to have them withdrawn. He then picked up the loudspeaker and continued negotiating with the female demon!

  A few minutes later, a policewoman walked over with a motorcycle phone held high in her hand. At a distance of about 10 meters from the female demon, she put the phone on the ground.

  "Bring it over!" The female demon knew that if she went to get the phone with Huang Shao, at the moment she bent down, there was a great possibility of being ambushed. Decades of experience wandering the jianghu told her that the more accessible something seemed, the greater the hidden risks behind it!

  Under the circumstances, the policewoman had no choice but to pick up her phone from the ground and slowly hand it over to the female demon. Meanwhile, the female demon also changed her grip on the knife, holding the handle with her right hand and pressing the blade against Huang Shao's throat, extending her left hand to receive the phone handed over by the policewoman.

  In this way, no matter which direction the police attacked her from. As long as her body moved a little, Huang Shao's throat could be cut off in the first time! She believed that the police could judge the consequences of launching a rescue action rashly, and she did so just to protect herself before making this call!

  "Hello! It's me, I've been attacked. My current location is in Hubei Province......" The female demon quickly dialed a string of numbers and the phone connected quickly. She briefly described her situation and after getting a clear response from the other end of the phone, she hung up and ended the call.

  The woman held the phone in her hand, hesitating for over ten seconds with a changing expression on her face, and finally decided to call me! She knew my temper and how important family was to me. She thought that since something big had happened to my mom, she should tell me about it as soon as possible. But at the same time, she was afraid that I would do something irreparable in a fit of rage.

  At that moment, she was already very clear when I grasped the white eyebrow from my hand and triggered the heavenly thunder to strike! I am the kind of person who dares to perish together with the enemy in a fit of rage! And anyone who dares to lay hands on my family and friends will be classified as an enemy by me, no matter who he is!

  "Ringing, ringing!" The phone on the coffee table at home rang urgently. At that time, I was in the kitchen helping my dad make meatballs. After hearing the phone ring, I quickly washed my hands clean of the meat and carrot paste, then picked up the phone!

  "Hello? Who is this?" I politely asked the person on the other end of the phone.

  "Quickly, come to the Jiangtang vegetable market, Auntie has been beaten by someone." The urgent voice of the demon girl came through the phone, and I, unexpectedly, didn't explode in anger! All I wanted to do was figure out who had the audacity to hit my mom.

  "Who hit you? What are you doing now?" I asked two questions in a row. The first question was to figure out who my enemy was! The second question also had some blame towards the demon girl!

  "I'm surrounded by the police, I don't know who hit me, but their leader is now in my hands!" As I listened to the demon girl's explanation, the anger in my heart gradually rose! They hit my mom and surrounded the demon girl, great! Within one day, they moved against my relatives and also want to move against my friends, let me see who you are!

  "Son, who got hit?" Dad asked me, poking his head out of the kitchen where he was frying meatballs.

  "It's nothing, an old friend of mine was beaten up. Dad, I'll go take a look." I suppressed the anger in my heart and said casually, hanging up the phone.

  "Oh, buy some fruit and go take a look. Remember not to cause trouble!" Old Dad didn't suspect anything else, thinking it was just young people who couldn't hold back their temper and got into an argument. In his mind, at most it was just a matter of getting punched a few times, so buying some fruit and going over to take a look would be enough!

  "Got it, Dad!" I put on my jacket, stuffed some talismans and money into my pocket, opened the door, said a word to my old man, and rushed downstairs!

  "Beep beep!" Just as I arrived at the vegetable market, an ambulance also rushed to the scene with its siren blaring. Seeing my pale-faced and blood-covered mother being lifted into the ambulance by medical personnel, I finally realized that my mom's situation was far more serious than what the fortune teller had said - just a simple beating!

  "Sorry!" After the ambulance left, the female demon also gave up continuing to confront the police. When she walked past me with handcuffs on her wrists, she called out to me with a hint of apology on her face. I knew she was feeling guilty about what happened to my mom, but looking at those shiny handcuffs on her hands, what could I blame her for? What else could I bear to blame her for?

  "Protect yourself!" I felt a surge of hostility coming my way, comforted the demon girl with a sentence and looked over in the direction of the hostility. All I saw was a young man wearing a black suit, with his neck cut open, staring at the demon girl being taken away by the police car with a murderous gaze! I understood, he was the so-called big boss who was previously hijacked by the demon girl!

  "Master! Follow that ambulance in front!" I remembered the young man's appearance and hailed a taxi, telling the driver after getting in.

  "Hey kid, you wanna go see which hospital the injured guy is in? The one who got beat up, is he a relative of yours?" The driver slowly started the taxi and asked me tentatively. Until the ambulance was out of sight, his car hadn't even entered the road!

  "That's my mom!" I said with a gloomy face, leaning against the passenger seat with some impatience.

  "Hey kid, you should've spoken up earlier! I thought you were a yellow-skinned thug sent to the hospital to cause trouble! Don't worry, I'll take you straight to the hospital where your mom lives!" As soon as he finished speaking, I heard the driver let out a soft sigh, and then saw him quickly steer the car onto the road, weaving in and out of traffic all the way.

  "After this incident, I couldn't help much even if I drove. Just now, I thought you were going to find someone for revenge, and I was thinking, how could I do something that helps the villain?" The driver explained the reason for his hesitation while driving!

  "Master, do you know what's going on?" I saw that the driver was a kind-hearted person, so I quickly asked him about the situation.

  "To tell you the truth, I've been watching this from the very beginning......" The driver was talking non-stop all the way, telling me what had happened. By the time he finished, we had already arrived at the First People's Hospital of the city! At that moment, an ambulance was parked on the green lane, and several medical staff and police officers were rushing into the hall with a stretcher!

  "Excuse me, which ward was the emergency patient who just arrived sent to?" By the time I paid for the taxi and rushed into the hospital lobby, my mother had already disappeared from view. Without even wiping the sweat on my forehead, I hurriedly ran to the nurse's station at the front desk to ask.

  "Who was that just now? Oh, you're referring to the middle-aged woman who got her head smashed? She's been sent to the emergency room. Just walk to your right and keep going until the end!" The nurse said without even lifting her head!

  "Thanks!" I hastily said and rushed towards the emergency room!

  "Hey! You can't go in there, there's a prisoner inside!" Just as I ran to the emergency room door and was about to find a doctor to ask about my mom's injury, a policeman came over and blocked me, pushing me back while scolding.

  "The injured one is my mother, why can't I go in? Besides, what makes you say she's the culprit? She's obviously the victim." I was extremely dissatisfied with this police officer's attitude and immediately argued with him!

  "You say she's a victim and she becomes one? Whether or not she's a victim, you have no say in the matter!" The police officer stood with his legs apart, blocking the passageway, and said to me with an air of authority!

  "You say she's a criminal and that settles it? Can you just decide who's a criminal by saying so? I recall the Ministry of Public Security just issued a document, requiring local public security organs to adhere to the principle of 'presumed innocence' when enforcing laws and handling cases. Is this important document something you haven't studied, or do you simply not take the Ministry of Public Security seriously?

  You're polite to me, but I'm even more polite to you! If you want to play dumb with me, sorry, but I'm not buying it! It's just a matter of who has a sharper tongue. Who can't play this game of twisting logic and slapping on labels?"

  "Hey, I think you're here to cause trouble on purpose? Hurry up and leave, or else I'll have you arrested for obstructing justice!" Seeing that he couldn't out-argue me, the police officer resorted to intimidating me! But what he didn't know was that I, a poor monk, fear heaven and earth, fear gods and ghosts, but don't fear humans!

  "Come on! Try handcuffing me! I've told you, if you dare to cuff me, I dare not to unlock it!" I anxiously looked at the emergency room, wanting to stop a doctor and ask about my mom's injury. But this policeman refused to let me in, going back and forth, my temper was rising too! The only thing that made this policeman confused was why I said "not unlocking".

  "You're still so bold at such a young age!" Perhaps it was because I had embarrassed him in this crowded hospital that the police officer actually pulled out a pair of handcuffs and cuffed me!

  "This matter won't be settled so easily!" I said, nodding while looking at the handcuffs tightly clasped on my wrist.

  "Xiao Zhao, what are you up to?" The handcuffs were finished, and the police officer's superior also appeared. He took a look at me sitting in the chair with handcuffs on and pretended to scold the police officer.

  "Hey kid, this is a place for handling cases, and you're really breaking the law by making such a ruckus. Just apologize to Officer Zhao and go home to wait for news!" Looks like he overheard my entire conversation with that police officer surnamed Zhao earlier. He must know that it's my mom lying in the emergency room to speak up like this!

  "I'm not in a hurry! Going back to wait or waiting here is the same. Officer, I still say that, presume innocence until proven guilty! This is the spirit of the law that even ordinary people like me know, how can you not know? Moreover, without investigation and evidence, there's no right to speak, what case are you trying to solve? As a law-abiding citizen, my mom has the responsibility to cooperate with your investigation. But if someone wants to frame her, they should consider the consequences of their actions! As the saying goes, 'knowing the law but breaking it' is a more serious crime." I played with the handcuffs on my hands, speaking calmly and reasonably to the people there.
