Chapter 917: Childhood Sweetheart Years 11

~7 min read 1,287 words

Jin Chen is already very adept at how to properly beat someone up.

He leaned back with Song Xu in his arms, slightly raised his chin, pointed at the officer in charge answering the phone behind the police desk, and kept his other hand hanging at his side, not lifting it.

"You'll find out soon."

The police officer was shocked and stood up directly, "No wounds anywhere? Not even a bruise…… Then what's with his blood?"

This remark drew the attention of Liu Xing's parents, who instantly stopped arguing and looked over; Xu Jiujiu and his friend also quickly turned their heads to stare.

A few seconds later, the officer stared, looking at them one glance after another.

After hanging up, the officer sternly asked again, "Are you sure Jin Chen really hit hard?"

"Of course!"

Zhong Yin covered his face and shouted, "He couldn't even stand up at the time!"

Liu Xing's mother couldn't wait, "Stop beating around the bush, what exactly happened?"

The officer looked speechless, "Our colleague who followed to the hospital said Liu Xing was examined after being sent in and had no wounds anywhere, nor any damage to subcutaneous tissue."

"As for the blood he shed, it was just a nosebleed, due to recent irregular diet and heavy drinking, which caused him to get heated."

Everyone: "……"

"How is that possible!!"

Zhong Yin was shocked speechless, "The examination must be wrong! Jin Chen hit so hard back then, with so many people unable to stop him, how could he be uninjured?"

"If you don't believe it, you can watch this video."

The officer handed them his phone, which a colleague had sent over; the video showed Liu Xing sitting on the bed, face full of thought, patting his left and right sides, obviously also finding it strange.

But he indeed had no problem, his complexion was rosy.

Song Xu exhaled in relief, completely relaxed and leaned into Jin Chen's embrace.

Cheng Huai let out a sound, saying to Jin Chen, "Pretty impressive! No wonder you said you were fine."

Seeing that help was no longer needed, Mu Henian sat down beside Cheng Huai and relaxed to watch the show.

Jin Chen felt the gazes of everyone upon him, gave a few light coughs, and sat up straight.

Now it's his turn to perform!

But before the performance, he needed to first give a heads-up to the easily startled Xiao Yu'er.

"Later, no matter what I say, don't panic; believe that big brother will be fine."

Song Xu gave him a doubtful glance, then slowly nodded.

Jin Chen: "Report, Officer!"

He pulled his arm out from around Song Xu, raised his hand to catch the officer's attention.

"Liu Xing is fine, but I'm hurt."

Officer: "What's wrong with you?"

Jin Chen sighed, slowly raising the hand that had been hanging at his side, his forearm dangling in an extremely twisted posture.

"I've broken a bone."

All the teammates: "?!?"

Jin Shu: "You little rascal!!"

Mu Henian: "……"

He always suspected this person did it on purpose; really, Jin Chen's temperament could pull off something like that.

Song Xu took a deep breath, his pupils trembling, and instinctively covered his heart.

"Brother…?" You didn't say it would be this exciting!

Jin Chen then took his hand and gave it a squeeze, indicating he was okay.

A few minutes later.

The police car again sent Jin Chen to the hospital, with a crowd of people following behind in a mighty procession.

——

"Distal fracture of the left radius, fracture line extending to the joint surface, left ulnar styloid torn, joint obviously dislocated."

After a series of examinations, the doctor gave the diagnosis.

Jin Chen was fine at the police station earlier, but now leaning on Xiao Yu'er he started crying out in pain.

"It hurts so much, it hurts——"

Upon hearing this, Liu Xing, who had run over from next door to look: "……"

Damn, I ran into a ghost in broad daylight.

"How… how is this possible?" Zhong Yin was almost doubting his own eyes, "It was clearly Jin Chen grabbing Liu Xing and beating him!"

Officer: "Did Liu Xing get injured?"

Zhong Yin: "……Something must have gone wrong."

Cheng Huai caught Jin Chen's gaze and began to play along, "The problem, I see, is that the only problem is you all picking on Jin Chen!"

"The fact now is that Jin Chen is fractured! Liu Xing is fine, yet you all claim you can prove Jin Chen beat him, but who knows, maybe you're colluding to frame my friend!"

"Besides! According to what you just said, you almost gave Song Xu a heart attack!"

Song Xu immediately covered his heart and nodded, coughing weakly a few times, looking pitiful.

Jin Chen beside him had already begun to have a cast put on by the doctor, pitiful to the extreme.

Jin Chen was still understanding, "Officer, the scene really was chaotic back then; I got angry and looked fierce."

"My younger brother has been in poor health since childhood, so of course I have to pamper him, but… Liu Xing scolded him and even wanted to strike, and I really couldn't hold back……"

"Mmm…"

Song Xu started crying again, leaning silently against Jin Chen's back, tears streaming, his voice choked.

Jin Chen let out an 'eh', his uninjured hand wrapping around his Xiao Yu'er, then said, 'Those ball-playing guys really did block him back then; maybe the scene was too chaotic, and Liu Xing also fell first, so they misremembered.'

Is... is that really the case?

The ball players exchanged glances, beginning to doubt their own memory.

Right? Otherwise how could the injured one be Jin Chen, and even if we give them the benefit of the doubt, Jin Chen's relationship with them is better.

Several people then sincerely apologized to the police, 'We misremembered; Jin Chen is the one who got beaten.'

'Exactly, Liu Xing was fierce as hell, showing no mercy at all!'

'Zhong Yin also was at fault; the first person to scold was her!'

Police: '...' Earlier in the interrogation room, you all said the same thing, except the person pointing fingers changed.

Mu Henian leaned against the wall, arms crossed, seeing Liu Xing's parents being quietly taken away, he spoke coldly, 'According to the law, Jin Chen can sue.'

Jin Shu looked at his son's bandaged arm, feeling heartbroken, hearing this he immediately agreed, 'Sue! We must go through legal proceedings.'

'No!' Liu Xing's mother objected first, anxious and flustered, but with full force, 'It's just kids roughhousing; if he got a fracture, we... just pay some medical fees!'

'What sue? What's there to sue about!'

'Our Liu Xing still has the college entrance exam! We can't sue!'

Jin Chen slowly pulled out his phone and played the recording.

Likewise, it's Liu Xing's mother's shouting at the police station.

——'Damn it! I don't care who it is; even if my little Xing suffered only a minor injury, I want the Jin family to compensate! Otherwise I'll sue!'

Jin Chen shook his head, 'Eh.'

Liu Xing's mother: '...'

'Come on, let's all go to the station!'

The police were overwhelmed, then took them back to the station, while Song Xu and Cheng Huai stayed behind to look after Jin Chen.

Jin Shu assured his son, 'Don't worry! Dad will absolutely not let you suffer a loss!'

The group again left in a mighty procession.

The doctor was putting a cast on him, and only Song Xu and two others remained in the ward.

Song Xu stared intently at Jin Chen's injured arm; although his earlier reaction had been exaggerated, his tears were genuine, and his worry and sorrow were real.
