Chapter 667 - Can You Look Outside? (1/2)
“No, you can’t go. What am I supposed to do if you leave?” Bai Qing’s mother held the chubby policeman’s hand.
The latter was left in frustration when he saw that Bai Qing’s mother refused to let him go. The most troublesome thing a police officer could ever encounter was a family dispute. Usually, they could only use words to resolve such matters, and unless one of them caused severe injuries to the other party, they had no authority to detain anyone.
He could only comfort her again. “It’s okay, lady. You have already made a police report. If anything bad happens again, we will catch the bad guy this time.”
Once the police officer started to comfort her, Bai Qing’s mother got even sadder. “I will be dead by then, and it would be pointless for you to detain him.”
The chubby policeman explained in a hurry, “No, I mean, your husband will definitely not harm you again. Otherwise, he will be the first person we will be suspecting.”
The officer then said to the middle-aged man again, “Be a man and do the right thing. Can you take the initiative and admit your mistake to your wife? Write a letter of guarantee to give your wife peace of mind.”
The middle-aged man frowned, but in the end, he did what the police officer told him to do. “I’m wrong this time. I shouldn’t have hit you, and I will never do that again.”
“Now, that’s the right thing to do. It doesn’t matter if you’ve made a mistake, but the most important thing is that you admit it and correct it,” said the chubby policeman while looking at Bai Qing’s mother on the other side. “Lady, do you think it’s okay now?”
The latter hesitated to look at his husband. There was still a lot of fear in her eyes, “I…I don’t know.”
The chubby policeman almost cried when he heard this. He was still trying to figure out why Bai Qing’s mother was so afraid of her husband. All his efforts to help resolve this family dispute could be all in vain. However, he had been a policeman for a long time, and he had encountered many weirder cases than this. It had all served to help him improve his patience. He gritted his teeth, then comforted her again. “It’s okay. The police station is very nearby. It takes only three to five minutes for us to get there. If he wants to harm you again, call me. My colleague and I will get here immediately. Besides, he’s already admitted his mistake. You should at least give him another chance to make up for it.”
Finally, the woman’s heart softened. “Then… Then I will give him another chance.”
The chubby policeman had been waiting for that sentence for a long time. He was so excited that he almost slapped his thigh.
“Married couples should always use words to resolve all the conflicts. Never use violence against each other. Think twice before you do anything.” The chubby policeman then talked to them for a little longer. After that, he used his walkie-talkie to ask when he could go and deal with the drunken fight. He wiped the sweat off his face and rushed to the barbecue stall with his colleague immediately.
After the police car left, the middle-aged man looked at his wife and said coldly, “Are you happy now?”
The latter was a little scared when he asked the question. Immediately, she hid behind her daughter.
“Let’s go home.”
The middle-aged man turned around, swiped his card, and opened the door.
From the beginning until the end, he refused to look at Zhang Heng as if he did not exist.
Bai Qing made an apologetic expression to Zhang Heng, and at the same time, said thank you in a low voice. It was not appropriate for her to say anything else at this time. She had to help her mother back to their house.
Zhang Heng looked at the Bai Qing’s family going into the building, and an iron gate separated them. After that, he stayed downstairs for a few seconds and looked around before leaving the place by calling a taxi home.
As soon as Zhang Heng paid the taxi fees via WeChat, he received a message from Bai Qing.
[Are you home yet?]
Zhang Heng replied with a yes.
[I’m so sorry you had to see all of that.]
