Chapter 916: Childhood Sweetheart at Age Ten

This complaint was very clear.

Jin Chen's footsteps paused.

Song Xu, who knew his personality well, didn't even have time to feel sad, he put his arms around Jin Chen's neck, "Brother, let's go home."

"Be good, Xiao Yu'er is waiting here."

Jin Chen, however, did not agree, he set Song Xu down, handed over the backpack, turned and ran over.

"Brother!"

Song Xu couldn't even call out to stop him.

Bang!

Liu Xing was hit in the face with a punch, flew sideways and crashed heavily to the ground.

Nobody had time to react.

Jin Chen, however, had no intention of letting him go just like that; he walked over, grabbed his collar and pulled him up again.

"Dead weight?"

Another punch followed.

"You…!"

Liu Xing tried to fight back, but his raised hand was caught and beaten; he had no power to retaliate, his eye sockets were hit with two punches in succession, his vision blurred, as if everything had slowed down, a buzzing rang in his ears.

"Jin Chen!! Let him go!"

Several teammates rushed over, trying to grab Jin Chen, "You're going to beat him to death!"

Zhong Yin didn't even dare to approach, she could only watch helplessly as her boyfriend was beaten, blood covering his face, she was terrified and screamed.

Xu Jiujiu had never seen this side of Jin Chen before; standing there, she didn't know what to do.

She took a deep breath, the remaining rationality told her to call 120 now; as she reached for her phone, her hand went numb.

Suddenly Song Xu walked over, holding his schoolbag, steps slow, standing outside the chaos, approaching Jin Chen.

He heard his teammates tell him not to come over, Jin Chen would hit anyone he saw now, but Song Xu paid no heed, merely tugged at Jin Chen's shirt corner and shouted again.

"Brother..."

Jin Chen's stance froze instantly, his fist already pressed against Liu Xing's most vulnerable neck, yet he forcibly held back his strength.

"Brother, I don't want to stay here."

Song Xu's eyes reddened again, tears misting in his eye sockets, his frail fingertips brushed Jin Chen's face, his voice still soft, "Take me home, no matter what."

"Don't go! Nobody is allowed to go!"

Zhong Yin gripped her phone tightly, her body trembling uncontrollably, her eyes fearful and angry, "I've called the police! You're not allowed to leave!"

【Oh my.】 0731 let out a sigh.

——

Cheng Huai had been accompanying Mu Henian these past few days to familiarize themselves with the small town; only today did he finally have time to come find Song Xu and Jin Chen to play.

He rode his bicycle through the alley entrance, in a great mood, humming a song while ringing the bell.

"Grandma Xu, good afternoon! I came to find… what's wrong with you?!"

Just as the bicycle stopped, Cheng Huai saw Granny Xu sitting alone at the gate of the courtyard; looking closer, he discovered she was crying.

"Little Huai…"

Granny Xu wiped her tears, waved her hand, "Those two aren't here; they said Xiao Xu was bullied, Xiao Chen stood up for him and hurt someone, they're all at the police station."

"What?!"

Cheng Huai froze for a few seconds, "I have to go check! Grandma, don't worry either, although Jin Chen has a bad temper, his strikes always have some measure."

Cheng Huai got on his bicycle and left, his body half-crouched, his feet pedaling fast.

The police station is on the main street of the small town; even though Cheng Huai was anxious, he still had to wait for the traffic light, and as a result he ran into Mu Henian again.

Mu Henian gestured for the driver to stop, "Ah Huai, where are you headed?"

"My friend's been taken into the station, I need to go see him."

"Friend?"

Mu Henian probed: "Is that the Jin Chen you mentioned the other day?"

Besides this person, he couldn't think of any other friend of Cheng Huai who was that capable.

Indeed, after receiving Cheng Huai's response, Mu Henian thought for a moment, "Ah Huai, I'll go with you; if something really happens…… I have a way."

If I can truly help, it would also make up for the various harms I unintentionally caused Song Xu in my previous life.

When the two arrived at the police station, the incident hall was filled with noisy clamor.

Liu Xing's parents kept causing a scene.

"My son has already been sent to the hospital for emergency treatment; do you know what emergency means? I only have this one precious son!"

"He was beaten this badly, it's definitely a serious injury! If you don't compensate tens of thousands, this won't end!"

Jin Shu didn't even get a chance to interject and explain.

But although he had ten thousand reasons, he simply couldn't reason with those causing a scene.

Zhong Yin, Xu Jiujiu, and several other buddies were each called in turn to the back interrogation room to find out what happened.

They could all testify that Jin Chen was the one who struck, but aside from Zhong Yin, the others said Liu Xing had been disrespectful, and some even recounted the whole story exactly as it happened.

Xu Jiujiu herself also admitted that it was her failure to clarify the situation that led to all of this.

No matter what, there's no doubt that Jin Chen struck first; when the police arrived at the scene, they also saw Liu Xing's face covered in blood.

So now we must wait for Liu Xing's injury report to come out before we can impose the appropriate punishment on Jin Chen.

Jin Chen sat in the hall, holding Song Xu, showing no reaction; hearing Liu Xing's parents causing a scene, he snorted.

"This is the first time I've heard someone curse their own son as being seriously injured; if it weren't so, wouldn't you still have to beat him into a serious injury?"

Otherwise how would you extort money?

Otherwise, how would we swindle money?

Jin Shu: "... Say less!"

Jin Shu: "……Say less!"

Look, see what kind of attitude he has!

Look, look at his attitude!

Liu Xing's mother flew into a rage, hands on her hips, shouting angrily.

Liu Xing's mother got even angrier, hands on her hips, shouting loudly.

The police were overwhelmed.

The police officer was overwhelmed.

"Brother, it'll be fine, right?" Song Xu leaned on his shoulder, asking softly.

"Brother, will everything be okay?" Song Xu leaned against the shoulder, speaking softly.

Jin Chen rubbed his hair, his expression gentle and soothing.

Jin Chen rubbed his hair, his expression gentle and soothing.

Good, it'll definitely be fine.

Be good, it's definitely fine.

Cheng Huai burst in, panting, "Song Xu! Jin Chen!"

Cheng Huai came running in, out of breath, "Song Xu! Jin Chen!"

Are you two alright?

You two okay?

Jin Chen: "No problem, totally awesome!"

Jin Chen: "All good, awesome!"

He responded, glancing at Mu Hengnian, who had quietly followed in.

He replied, glancing at Mu Henian, who had followed in silently.

Oh, the domineering CEO showed up too.

Yo, the big boss is here too.

Looks like we won't be able to wait for school to start.

Looks like we really can't wait for school to start.

Mu Hengnian noticed Jin Chen's scrutiny and instinctively prepared to retort coldly—a habit from his past life.

Mu Henian caught Jin Chen's scrutiny, instinctively wanting to retort coldly—a muscle memory from his previous life.

Every time he sees him, that irritating attitude won't quit, leading him to once wonder if Jin Chen had some mental issue.

Every time this person saw him, the aggravating anger wouldn't subside, making him once think Jin Chen might have some mental illness.

Finally the truth emerged: Jin Chen couldn't bear to see Song Xu bullied by him, and also... he resented him for taking his wife.

Finally the truth came out: Jin Chen couldn't bear to see Song Xu being bullied by him, and also... the hatred for taking his wife.

Mu Hengnian reflected on the past life's entanglements, speechlessly pinching his brow—it was utterly bewildering.

Mu Henian thought of the entanglements of several people in his previous life, speechlessly pinching his brow—truly bewildering.

As long as you're okay, you scared me to death.

As long as you're okay, you scared me to death.

Cheng Huai squeezed in to sit beside Song Xu, suddenly felt odd, then shifted a little to the side.

Cheng Huai squeezed in to sit beside Song Xu, suddenly feeling weird, then shifted a bit to the side.

Jin Shu and Liu Xing's parents were still arguing, but Liu Ying's wife was away on a business trip, so they lacked a strong presence.

Jin Shu and Liu Xing's parents were still arguing, but Ms. Liu Ou had gone on a business trip to another city, reducing their fighting strength.

There was also a relentless bell ringing.

There's also Zhong Yin, who keeps getting entangled.

She feared Jin Chen but didn't want to let the person who hurt her boyfriend off the hook, so she went to complain to Liu Xing's parents.

She both feared Jin Chen and didn't want to just let off the person who hurt her boyfriend, so she went to file a complaint against Liu Xing's parents.

As a result, Liu Xing's mother, who knew the full story, slapped her several times hard.

As a result, she was harshly slapped several times by Liu Xing's mother, who knew the whole story.

She kept shouting that if it weren't for the bell, Liu Xing wouldn't have defended her, nor would he have been beaten.

He kept shouting that if it weren't for Zhong Yin, Liu Xing wouldn't have stood up for her, nor would he have been beaten.

Quite a show.

Really, what a show.

Jin Chen felt quite moved.

Jin Chen felt quite emotional.

They say Liu Xing was beaten bloody; aren't you worried about being detained? Cheng Huai asked doubtfully.

"They said Liu Xing was beaten bloody, aren't you worried about being detained?" Cheng Huai asked doubtfully.

Mu Hengnian also looked over, curious to hear what Jin Chen would say.

Mu Henian also looked over, actually wanting to know what Jin Chen would say.

Jin Chen: "Who said a bloody face means serious injury?"
