"Why was the video call cut off?" Yan Zheke asked casually.
No longer suppressing his emotions, Lou Cheng, who had completely vented his emotions, said happily, "Just now my classmate called me, the one from Gushan Martial Arts School. He said something about Le running away, Third Jian was caught, and no one in the local underworld would care about what happened before."
Yan Zheke opened her mouth and showed a cute expression. "No wonder you look so relaxed. Uncle Xing is quite efficient. It only took one or two hours to complete the anti-gang operation."
"Anti-gang operation …" Lou Cheng repeated subconsciously.
Yan Zheke said with a serious face,
"A big case with four or five lives and a shooting case in the city. How can you explain to the city government and the provincial government and eliminate the social impact if you don't take action? If Uncle Xing didn't react quickly enough, even if you found Coach Shi in advance, even if the other party killed you intentionally after self-defense failed, even if the witness's testimony was favorable to you, you would still be in the police station for several days, or even half a month. "
"What will your parents think then? Do you have to scare them to death? Now you know the consequences, right? Do you dare to be so impulsive again? "
Lou Cheng was really scared and regretful. He nodded hurriedly and said, "I know. I won't be so impulsive again."
According to his shallow legal knowledge, if it wasn't for Director Xing's reaction and endorsement, he would be in big trouble.
At that time, Wang Xu and the other hatchet man were drenched in boiling water, rolled on the ground, and threw out their pistols. It was considered an assault. When the other party caught up and killed them, it wasn't even excessive self-defense. It was already a standard murder. However, he had a call with Wang Xu beforehand. It was very likely that he would be misunderstood as one of them. If he took the opportunity to kill several people, not to mention that he would definitely be sentenced, just being detained and waiting for investigation would be a big headache for his family.
With Director Xing's endorsement, not only was he entrusted by the police station to help, but he was also a good citizen who acted bravely for a just cause. Wang Xu's call record with him could also be considered as Wang Xu's subjective performance in calling the police, and he would be given a light punishment.
This was like the difference between heaven and earth!
Impulsiveness is really bad!
While thinking, Lou Cheng suddenly thought of something and blurted out, "Uncle Xing?"
He didn't notice that Yan Zheke called Director Xing Uncle Xing just now!
Yan Zheke pursed her lips and smiled, showing her dimples. "If you chose to ask me for help, you would go to Uncle Xing in the end. He is a good friend of my parents."
"I see …" Lou Cheng suddenly felt lucky that he had confessed. Otherwise, if Director Xing mentioned it casually in front of Yan Zheke or her parents one day, the consequences would be very serious. It would definitely be more serious than what he had done in order to save someone's life. Even if they were really together, they might break up!
Yan Zheke tucked her black hair behind her ear. Her bright eyes moved up as if she was thinking about something. Soon, she said, "I think you should go and thank Uncle Xing formally. Although he was asked to help by Coach Shi, after all, he really helped you and helped you out of a lot of trouble. A simple thank you is not sincere enough."
"Makes sense." Lou Cheng agreed that he should thank Director Xing properly. His master was his master, and he was his own person. They shouldn't be mixed together. "Haven't I always been muddle-headed and depressed? I can't even remember to do this. Coach Yan, how do you think I should express my sincerity?"
. "Show your attitude. Attitude!" Yan Zheke nodded with satisfaction. "Call Uncle Xing tonight and ask him when he is free. You want to pay him a New Year's visit and bring some small gifts. Sit for a while and say thank you sincerely. He will know that you are a person who values friendship. If you have other troubles in the future, you don't have to go through Coach Shi. You can go to him directly."
"A small gift will do?" Lou Cheng asked with his shallow social knowledge.
"You don't trust me?" Yan Zheke glared at him and made a fierce expression to ease Lou Cheng's mood. "At this time, expensive gifts are not good. First, it will make you feel distant. Second, Uncle Xing won't dare to accept it. What will Coach Shi think if he accepts your expensive gift? Third, I just endorsed you and you give him an expensive gift. Do you think you can't use it against him? "
Lou Cheng nodded thoughtfully. "Coach Yan, why do I feel that you know so much more than me, especially when it comes to interpersonal relationships?"
"Of course. Girls are always more mature than boys." Yan Zheke smiled and opened her pink lips, revealing a row of neat white teeth.
After chatting for a while, Lou Cheng heard a female voice calling "Ke" from the other side of the phone.
"Is someone looking for you?" he asked.
Yan Zheke took off the hairpin. Her black hair cascaded down like a waterfall. Her gentle and charming feminine charm made Lou Cheng's heart palpitate. He was silly and dazed.
"Yeah. My mom is calling me. I have to go to my cousin's house for the New Year at noon." Yan Zheke looked at the mirror next to her and fixed her hair. "It's very troublesome to celebrate the New Year in Jiangnan. I have to visit my relatives one by one. Then I have to entertain different relatives separately. I can go from the first day of the New Year to the fifteenth day of the New Year. What's more, the dishes in each family are about the same.
Lou Cheng smiled absentmindedly. "It's very easy in Xiushan. Take my family for example. My grandpa's relatives will celebrate the New Year together. My grandpa's relatives will celebrate the New Year together. The rest of them will just visit the closest relatives. It doesn't matter if they don't visit."
"It's like I'm not from Xiushan!" Yan Zheke rolled her eyes at him. Lou Cheng felt like he was shot by an arrow.
"I miss the relaxing New Year in Xiushan …" she continued. "I'm hanging up now."
Lou Cheng was about to say "Okay" when a question popped up in his mind.
He thought for a while and said, "Coach Yan, I made a mistake today. Will you have a bad impression of me?"
This kind of thing shouldn't be asked directly. He should observe her body language and make up for it. But he couldn't help himself.
Yan Zheke bit her lower lip with her teeth. Suddenly, she smiled and showed her dimples. "Since you're honest and lenient, I won't leave a bad impression on you."
She stopped smiling and said seriously, "You're a good Cheng. When you're impulsive next time, think about your parents, your friends, and your future. Don't be impulsive without considering the consequences. Fortunately, it's not a big deal this time."
"Yes, yes. I'll remember Coach Yan's words!" Lou Cheng put on a swearing pose and added, "But this is murder, a living human life …"
After saying that, he couldn't help but want to slap himself. Didn't he mention something that didn't boil? What if Yan Zheke was traumatized?
Yan Zheke's eyes would look up slightly when she was thinking, which was very cute. She thought for a while and said, "Actually, I'm not as unhappy about you accidentally killing that Professional Ninth Pin fighter as you're involved in the mafia dispute."
"When you first mentioned that he raided the bar, I secretly cursed him. That hateful guy dared to come to Xiushan to make trouble and break the peace. I hoped that some hero or policeman would punish him. But I didn't expect that it wasn't a hero or a policeman. It was you, the 'young hero'. Anyway, in my heart, he was already a dead man."
She teased Young Hero Lou and continued, "This mentality may have something to do with my family. I often hear my grandpa talk about similar things, so I think it's quite normal. If it were someone else, they wouldn't have the mood to enlighten you!"
"Yes, my grandpa often said that from an ordinary person to a fighter, not only does one need to be reborn physically and mentally, but also to keep up with the daily mentality. Many people are very impulsive, hot-blooded, and strong when they just master good martial arts. They accidentally break the rules with martial arts. This is a common problem for many fighters. But some people make small mistakes that won't affect their future. After they pass this stage, their mentality will catch up and they will return to the mainstream. But some people make one wrong step and can't turn back."
Speaking of this, she glanced at Lou Cheng and said, "Fortunately, you can be saved. Otherwise, I won't talk to you."
Lou Cheng's heart was beating fast. He said with a smile,
"Please save me, Coach Yan!"
After listening to Yan Zheke's analysis, he seriously reflected after hanging up the video call. With this lesson, he wouldn't have the same impulse in the future.
Once bitten, twice shy!
When it was almost noon, he had completely sorted out his state of mind. Only then did he dare to go out and face his parents.
But at this moment, his phone suddenly rang. The number was familiar. It seemed to be Director Xing's.
"Hello, Lou?" Director Xing's hearty voice came from the other side of the phone.
"Yes. Hello, Director Xing. Thank you so much this time." Lou Cheng sat back on the bed.
"Haha, it's nothing. It's what I should do." Director Xing lowered his voice and said, "The hospital just called me. Three died on the spot, one couldn't be resuscitated, and one is basically disabled. Only Wang Xu is fine."
"Sigh, four dead and one disabled. I really can't suppress such a case. Wang Xu will definitely be sentenced for attempted murder with a gun. But we can reduce his sentence by a few years because he didn't cause any substantial harm, wasn't the mastermind, and had the intention to report to the police. Anyway, it should be at least five years. I'm telling you, so you should be mentally prepared. When the time comes, you may have to testify in court secretly. As for when he's in prison, I'll find someone to take care of him and not let him be bullied."
Lou Cheng's heart wasn't heavy. After Yan Zheke's analysis, this was a predictable outcome. He said sincerely, "This is nothing. Wang Xu is only 19 years old. If he behaves well in prison and his sentence is reduced, he'll only be 22 or 23 years old when he comes out. He still has a long life ahead of him. It's better than dying on the spot.
He quietly changed the way he addressed him.
Director Xing laughed and said, "I'm relieved that you can think it through. Well, we just carried out a special anti-gang operation and arrested Jian Laosan and Zhang Mingle's Left and Right Men. Zhang Mingle escaped by himself, but he won't be able to come back to Xiushan in the future. No one will harass you and your family because of this.
"Lou, as an elder, I have to say one more thing. The underworld is not something to be seen in public. Even if they are really capable, they are just the dogs of the big shots. They will do as they are ordered. Don't be envious of them just because they are powerful and domineering."
"Uncle Xing, don't worry. I have a bright future ahead of me. I won't walk this path that is destined to be hopeless." Lou Cheng answered without hesitation.
He vaguely felt that Director Xing's attitude had changed. In the past, he always talked about his master, but now he cared more about his own appearance.
Seizing this opportunity, he smiled and said, "Uncle Xing, when are you free? I want to visit you for a new year."
Director Xing immediately let out a hearty laugh. "Sure. I'm on duty on the second and third day of the new year. After that, I have to visit relatives. How about the seventh day of the new year? I'll be here the whole day. You can come at any time. My address is 9th floor, Unit 2, Building 3, Mingshan Community, No.9, South Zhuoyuan Street."
After hanging up the phone, Lou Cheng pulled the curtain of the room that he had forgotten to open. The dark clouds outside had dispersed and the warm winter sun shone in. Rays of brilliant sunlight shone in and lit up the whole room.
This was a bright world.
