Chapter 531: Injury Assessment and Evidence

Zhang Guowei’s Mercedes-Benz soon pulled up to the police station near the school.

They climbed out of the car one by one. Yu Xiao and Zhai Na were wrapped in a close embrace, though to an outsider, it looked more like Yu Xiao was leaning on Zhai Na for support.

As they entered the lobby, the officer on duty saw the group of four and stood up. “Can I help you with something?”

“Officer, I want to file a report! I was assaulted!”

An older officer glanced at the visible bruises on Yu Xiao’s arm. “Young man, tell me exactly what happened.”

Yu Xiao held his head and said, “Let me sit down first. I’m a little dizzy right now.”

Zhai Na carefully helped Yu Xiao to a chair, which made the older officer frown.

“Officer, allow me to explain. My client is not in good condition. He’s been experiencing frequent nausea.”

“Client? Are you his lawyer?” The older officer felt a headache coming on. ‘These are the people I hate dealing with the most! One slip of the tongue, and it becomes evidence in their hands.’

Zhang Guowei presented his credentials. “Officer, may I have your name?”

“My surname is Wang.”

“Officer Wang, here’s what happened…”

Zhang Guowei proceeded to recount the events of that night in detail. Yu Xiao, who seemed to be in poor condition, would only occasionally chime in to add details Zhang Guowei had missed.

“If this happened three or four days ago, why didn’t you report it sooner?”

Officer Wang glanced at his colleague, who was taking notes, and continued, “By the way, Yu Xiao, besides your arm and head, are you injured anywhere else?”

Yu Xiao immediately lifted his shirt, revealing a large patch of bruising on his back. Officer Wang’s frown deepened.

“We’ll finish our questions first, then we’ll take you to the hospital for an examination.”

“Yu Xiao, have you offended anyone recently?”

Yu Xiao thought for a moment before replying, “Um, yes, one person. Her name is Li Qing. That night, right after I met up with my girlfriend, Zhai Na, I was ambushed in the woods on campus. They threw a sack over my head.”

“And how did you offend her?”

“What else could it be? It’s just jealousy!” Yu Xiao pointed at Zhai Na. “Li Qing is a woman, but she’s always acted like she’s Zhai Na’s boyfriend!”

“I got close to Zhai Na, so she saw me as a thorn in her side. I never thought she’d be so impulsive. She didn’t even say a word to me, just went straight to hiring people to get revenge.”

Officer Wang asked calmly, “Do you have any evidence that Li Qing sent people to assault you?”

Yu Xiao rubbed his head. Seeming to feel a little better, he said, “Yes! I have a recording. She showed up and threatened me again while I was having dinner tonight. If my cousin hadn’t been there, I probably would’ve gotten beaten up again.”

Afterward, Officer Wang asked several more questions related to the case, including the location where Yu Xiao had been eating dinner.

“Alright, everyone. Please follow our colleagues to the hospital for an examination. We are officially opening a case on this matter. Our officers will first go to the scene of the assault to investigate and see if any security cameras captured your assailants.”

“Okay! Thank you, Officer Wang!”

Just then, four officers came out of the break room. Two of them led the group toward the parking lot, while the other two walked over to Officer Wang and began to inquire about the situation.

A police car, lights flashing, led a black Mercedes-Benz onto the main road.

Soon, with the police car clearing a path, both vehicles arrived smoothly at a nearby hospital.

With the police escort, all the procedures were fast-tracked. Yu Xiao’s injuries were quickly examined and diagnosed as severe soft tissue contusions.

“The patient is showing symptoms of slight dizziness and vomiting, which usually indicates a mild concussion. However, we need a report as evidence, so we’ll still have to get a scan.”

After speaking, the doctor handed the order form to Zhai Na.

Zhai Na helped Yu Xiao up, and they walked toward the CT room, escorted by the police.

On the way, Yu Xiao excused himself to use the restroom. A short while later, he emerged, leaning against the wall for support.

The doctor, who had been resting, was roused from his break. He looked reluctant at first, but upon seeing the two uniformed police officers, he forced a smile.

“Please lie down on the bed. All non-essential personnel, please leave the examination room.”

The doctor ushered everyone else out.

Staring at the heavy, closed metal door, Zhai Na had a worried expression on her face.

Zhang Guowei patted her on the shoulder and gave her a reassuring smile. “Don’t worry. It’s just a mild concussion.”

An officer standing nearby, unaware of the full story, also chuckled. “That’s right. In our experience, even if he does have a mild concussion, it’s often difficult for it to show up on a report like this.”

“Usually, the doctor makes a diagnosis based on the patient’s symptoms. Of course, there are always exceptions.”

Hearing even the police say so, Zhai Na instantly felt relieved.

A moment later, a shout came from the adjacent room. “All done! The report will be out shortly. Please wait a moment!”

“You can help him off the table now!”

Then came the WHIRRING sound of a printer spitting out paper.

Yu Xiao’s head was still groggy as he climbed off the table, not yet recovered from the dizziness he’d induced by spinning in circles in the restroom.

His legs suddenly gave out, but thankfully, Zhai Na caught him just in time, preventing him from collapsing to the floor.

As Yu Xiao felt the warmth of Zhai Na’s delicate body, he sighed to himself, ‘My cousin is a genius! Not only do I get to win the girl, but I also get to make them pay!’

‘No wonder Dad always tells me to spend more time with my cousin and learn from him!’
