Chapter 565: Let's All Go Together!

This sentence left Wu Qiuling completely unable to react, or perhaps she truly hadn't expected that this woman, who had been beaten to such a state, would actually defend the man who hit her!

Yes, he was indeed her husband, but when such severe domestic violence occurred, to still be defending the other party—this was something Wu Qiuling had not expected!

However, before Wu Qiuling could say anything, the woman opposite her had already rushed over, shoved her aside, and continued to roar, "Are you sick or what? Who told you to hit him?"

Wu Qiuling replied subconsciously, "He was beating you like that, I was helping you..."

"Who told you to make a move? Did I call for you? Are you sick? Who told you to meddle in other people's business?"

After the three-part interrogation, the woman hurriedly went to the side of the drunken man and asked with a look of anxiety, "Old Lu, Old Lu, are you alright? Is it serious? Let's go to the hospital."

As for the man called Old Lu, he was still lying there shouting; the brick that Xiao Wu Guniang had hit him with just now was quite heavy.

Hearing the woman's voice, Lu Yunling roared, "I'm fucking beaten to this state and you're asking if I'm alright? Damn it, do you even know that woman?"

"No, Old Lu, I don't know her, I've never seen her before..."

After saying this, the woman glared fiercely at Xiao Wu Guniang and said, "You wait, you beat my Old Lu like this, don't you dare run!"

Wu Qiuling stood there blankly; her body and face were in pain, her nose had been broken and was bleeding, and her mouth seemed to have been cut a little too, but she felt as if she had no sensation at all.

To be fair, since graduating, she had helped people before, but she had never encountered a situation like this!

The person being helped not only didn't appreciate it, but even thought you were sick...

At this moment, Wu Qiuling felt she finally understood a phrase those in the Legal Department often kept on their lips: it is hard for even an honest official to settle family disputes.

Even with legal grounds, matters like those between a husband and wife are still very difficult to handle.

That was why someone had said back then that when it comes to the relationship between other people's spouses, it is best not to interfere easily.

Unless it is the kind that is clearly defined, where they say they must divorce and cannot go on living together for even a single day.

Otherwise, one should absolutely not open their mouth easily; if a couple is arguing today and saying they want to divorce, and you go up to meddle, offering advice or doing this and that.

Then, a month later, they make up as if nothing happened, so you guess, who is going to be embarrassed in that situation?

It was just unexpected that there would be such an absurd situation; beaten to this extent, yet still defending the other party.

Wu Qiuling took out a tissue to wipe her nosebleed; of course, a beauty's nose will swell and bleed if kicked.

It was only after she calmed down that she realized the pain in her body was severe, especially in her abdomen, because she had been kicked heavily several times just now.

Suddenly unable to stand, she sat down on the ground again.

Enduring the pain, after wiping it clean, Wu Qiuling looked at the woman opposite and said, "Rest assured, I definitely won't leave, but I hope you won't leave either."

Working at the Company had taught her so many things; sometimes Wu Qiuling even wondered, is the Company really just a company?

Why does it feel like after coming out of the Company, if nothing else, one is truly clear on the aspect of self-preservation?

This was actually a rule set by Zhou Yi.

Although he was someone with a system, from the very beginning when he chose to start, he had to abide by the law.

And in law, only evidence matters; without evidence, even if you feel particularly aggrieved, it is useless, so he often had the Legal Department give lectures, teaching everyone what to do when encountering problems in daily life.

Everyone is free, and acts of chivalry or helping an elderly person up from the ground can be done, but the prerequisite is that one must learn to protect oneself well.

After all, good people are not only prone to having guns pointed at them, but after a good person does a good deed, there are too many cases of bleeding and shedding tears, which is why now, there are so few people willing to be good people...

The woman didn't speak, continuing to comfort the man called Old Lu, while Old Lu was still cursing and swearing.

The crowd of onlookers grew larger, and some people began to criticize, saying that this man shouldn't have hit a young girl.

On one side was a good-looking young girl, and on the other was a drunkard; there was no need to even think about it.

Lu Yunling was naturally dissatisfied and began cursing at the others there.

Finally, accompanied by the sound of sirens, several police officers walked over, shouting, "What's going on? Move aside, move aside!"

Lao Zhou kept shouting, finally squeezing out a path to the inside, and looked at the situation in the center with some confusion.

Behind him, Lao Zhou's colleague asked, "What's going on here? Who called the police?"

Wu Qiuling hurriedly said, "Officer, I, I called the police."

Lao Zhou stepped forward to look and then said, "Wu Qiuling, right? How are you feeling? Is the situation serious?"

Wu Qiuling shook her head and said, "I don't know how I am, I was kicked many times just now, I just feel a lot of pain in my stomach."

"Stomach hurts a lot, right? Then it's better to go to the hospital and get it checked out first."

The stomach is actually quite fragile, especially after being hit many times like this; you might not feel it yourself, but internal bleeding symptoms may have already appeared.

Many people in car accidents look perfectly fine, as if nothing is wrong, but then suddenly collapse later; that is internal bleeding.

Lao Zhou took out his phone to call for an ambulance, then asked, "So what exactly is going on here? How did you get into a conflict with the two of them?"

Opposite them, Lu Yunling's wife, Niu Xiufei, spoke up first: "It was her who used a brick to smash my husband's leg, that brick right there, look how seriously he was smashed, who knows how long he'll have to lie in bed..."

However, Niu Xiufei's words were interrupted by Lao Zhou before she could finish.

"Did I ask you? Stop talking for now. Wu Qiuling, you speak first!"

Xiao Wu Guniang said, "Officer, it's like this, I mentioned it when I called the police earlier; I was walking here and encountered these two in front. This man was constantly hitting this woman, hitting her very severely."

What? Lao Zhou looked back, and sure enough, he hadn't noticed earlier, but looking closely now, he discovered that the woman's face also had many red and swollen areas, with bloodstains in some places.

Not to mention Lao Zhou, even the few police officers beside him couldn't quite wrap their heads around it; even though they had been at the grassroots level for many years, they really hadn't encountered such things often.

Getting beaten, and then still defending that man—isn't this fucking masochistic?

This can't be real...

Xiao Wu Guniang continued, "Then, I discovered the assault and thought about going up to stop it; after all, if he kept hitting her, that woman might be in danger."

"As a result, when I went up to stop it, I was constantly cursed at by that man. I said I had already recorded a video, and he started making a move, hitting me very viciously. I had no choice, so I picked up that brick nearby and gave him a hit..."

Before Xiao Wu Guniang could finish her words, Niu Xiufei opposite shouted, "What nonsense are you spouting? My Old Lu didn't touch you at all, don't you dare frame me!"

If Xiao Wu Guniang still had her old personality, she would have been moved to tears by anger right now.

Because in her eyes, everything in this world should be based on reason; how could someone disregard right and wrong and turn black into white?

But after staying at the Company for such a long time, she discovered that there are too many people in this world who don't listen to reason, and crying is of no use at all.

Therefore, Xiao Wu Guniang directly took out her phone and said, "Officer, look, I have a video here. Although it's not entirely complete, I think the Monitoring here shouldn't be broken."

Lao Zhou took the video with a look of surprise; the way this young girl handled the matter felt very familiar to him, just like a certain handsome fellow who had once gotten their station chief promoted.

There was no excessive nonsense, nor did she speak of many principles; instead, she used those pieces of extremely precise evidence to lock the matter down directly.

Once it reached that point, no matter how well you could talk, it was useless; that was no longer something that could be solved just by using one's mouth.

He tapped to open the video and began to watch, and the other few police officers also crowded over to watch together; as they watched, everyone was shocked.

One could tell that the woman had been defending that man just a moment ago, but no one had expected that before this, she herself had been beaten so severely!

Although Wu Qiuling had said so earlier, the few police officers were all still skeptical, because this was indeed a bit outrageous.

But what they didn't expect was that it was actually true!

Moreover, in the video, that woman was already screaming on the ground from being beaten by her husband; looking at it, if no one had stopped it, it was possible she could have been beaten to death.

As a result, the young girl stepped forward to help her, and after it was over, she even complained about her?

Lao Zhou shook his head; he had indeed seen such things when chatting with other colleagues.

For example, in a certain place, someone performed a courageous act to save others and paid with their own life for it.

As a result, the person saved not only failed to show the slightest bit of gratitude, but even thought that it was the other party who insisted on saving them, and they hadn't asked the other party to save them; as for money, they certainly wouldn't give a single cent.

Although there were many who condemned this, well, if you wanted to say what law the other party broke by not giving money, it seemed you really couldn't say.

And this kind was already considered not bad; in other incidents, there were even people who directly said that the person who performed the courageous act deserved to die!

When Lao Zhou first heard of these incidents, he was completely bewildered; he felt that as a normal person, after having one's life saved by the other party, no matter what, it was impossible to say such vicious words.

So, he had previously treated these kinds of things as stories to listen to, but as it turned out, he hadn't expected that this time he would actually encounter such a thing himself.

"Come, come, come, take a look for yourself; who is the one doing the hitting in here? I'm asking you, what is going through your mind, woman? That person was saving your life; if she hadn't come up, do you know you would have been beaten to death by your husband?" Lao Zhou couldn't help but step forward and say.

Niu Xiufei sat there saying nothing, but Lu Yunling on the side said with dissatisfaction: "So what? Who told her to be a busybody? It is only right and proper for me to beat my own wife; whoever meddles in my business, I'll beat them!"

Upon hearing this, Lao Zhou looked at this drunken man again and suddenly stopped being angry.

He exchanged a glance with his colleague beside him, then stepped forward and said: "Fine, we have heard your words. Let's go, the ambulance has arrived; go to the hospital for a check-up first, and if there's nothing wrong, come back to the station with us."

"I'm not going. So what? What crime have I committed? I..."

*Click! * The Silver Bracelets were put on, and Lu Yunling's voice came to an abrupt halt.

The ambulance arrived, the three of them got in, and Lao Zhou looked at Wu Qiuling and asked again: "Young lady, see if you have any family or friends you can notify, and have someone come to the hospital."

Family or friends?

Wu Qiuling thought for a long time but couldn't think of any suitable candidates; her family members were all in other cities.

As for friends, she didn't want to trouble her colleagues at Tengda...

She bit her lip and still thought of one person.

"Hello, Huo... Lawyer Huo, I have a bit of a situation here. Could you see if you can come over? Yes, I'm at the hospital..."

On the other side of the phone, inside the Legal Department office, Huo Pengfei was bragging and chatting with a few others; everyone had agreed to go drinking today.

As it happened, right at this moment, he answered the call and responded a few times, and his expression changed immediately.

"Everyone, I have a rather urgent matter, so I won't be going today..."

However, just as he finished speaking, Wang Daoren on the side laughed and said: "What's wrong? What's the matter? Anyway, everyone is free, let's go help you together, right?"

Huo Pengfei hesitated for a moment, then replied: "That's not impossible. Then how about we all go together? It's mainly because this matter is a bit strange..."

Today is another one-chapter beast; I owe two chapters this month, preparing to pay back these two chapters first... Thanks to book friends 2022, Chen Qi Ri Luo, and also to Brother Yige Xinshou, Brother Banzhai, Brother Suoni, Wenchidage, and Feimaowuyu. Thank you, brothers, for the tips. Thank you. It's mainly because I've hit a writer's block for this story, which is the first time in my life, and I don't know if I should use the plot line I had thought of before to develop it...
