Only I Have the Law: A Fantasy Daily Life

Chapter 50 Then, I will become the rule.

Perhaps it's the effect of improved physical and mental health.

Chen Baiyu felt that she was now able to control her emotions more steadily.

Compared to when I used to get angry and storm back to confront the shop owner after discovering that the watermelon I bought was underweight, this is a far cry from my previous behavior.

He quickly calmed down.

"I'll cover the money first, don't worry about it."

"Well... well, Platinum was trembling with pain just now, but now that the surgery and anesthesia are over, she's asleep. She looks so pitiful..."

"That little thug is a real scoundrel."

Aunt Zhang's words were tinged with heartache.

She and Chen Baiyu have had a very good relationship in the past two years, and she also really likes the little dog Baijin.

"Aunt Zhang, wait for me to come back tomorrow."

"Also, send me the police's handling of the situation and measures, as well as the contact information of that thug via WeChat."

After saying that, Chen Baiyu hung up the phone.

The lively atmosphere at the table seemed to freeze instantly.

The water in the copper pot was still bubbling, and the lamb rolls floated on the surface, but no one touched their chopsticks anymore.

My mother frowned and asked, "What happened? Did Bai Jin get bitten by a dog?"

Chen Baiyu nodded without saying anything.

My fingertips unconsciously traced the edge of the phone.

The thug's face and the injured Platinum flashed alternately in his mind, and an inexplicable anger surged up his spine.

"Don't be too impulsive when you get back. How about we go back with you to deal with this?"

My aunt offered her advice from the side.

Chen Baiyu remained silent.

He only opened his phone to check when he heard a notification sound from WeChat.

Aunt Zhang sent him the thug's contact information, as well as the police's handling of the matter and suggestions after he reported it to the police today.

In WeChat messages.

Aunt Zhang forwarded the police's handling record. The text was short, but it made Chen Baiyu frown.

The police's response was quite clear: they arrived at the scene to mediate after receiving the report, and since no one was injured and the dispute involved pets, they suggested that the matter be resolved through private negotiation first.

Several specific reasons were listed:

First, the white metal in Chen Baiyu's house is a cheap, ordinary mongrel dog. Even if it is legally recognized as "protected private property," pursuing liability for property loss would not yield much result.
Secondly, although the hoodlum's wolfhound was not on a leash, it did not exhibit any behavior of "actively attacking humans," and the circumstances did not meet the standards for administrative punishment. At most, it could only be considered "improper management."

In summary, this matter is more suitable to be resolved privately. The police can assist in urging the other party to pay all of Bai Jin's medical expenses and issue a verbal apology. As for additional compensation, it needs to be negotiated between the two parties.

The letter concluded with the statement: "Neighborhood disputes should be resolved amicably; it is advisable not to escalate conflicts."

"What kind of handling is this? That thug thinks he's right?" Mom came over to take a look, then slammed her hand on the table in anger.

The aunt sighed, "These police officers... to put it bluntly, they think the dog issue isn't a big deal and are too lazy to make a fuss. If the platinum dog were a purebred, the situation would be different."

Chen Baiyu stared at the screen, her fingertip lingering on the image of Bai Jin being bitten.

While he was thinking, he clicked on the hoodlum's contact information.

His profile picture is a side profile of him smoking a cigarette, and his WeChat Moments are full of photos of racing cars and drinking.

Chen Baiyu stared at the profile picture for two seconds, then got up and said to her mother and aunt, "I'm going out to make a phone call," before pushing open the door of the copper pot shop and walking onto the bustling Qianmen Street.

The evening breeze carried a hint of warmth, but it couldn't dispel the simmering anger in his heart.

He took a deep breath and dialed the number.

The other party's attitude will determine how ruthless he takes action.

"Hello? Who is it?" A nonchalant voice came from the other end of the phone, with loud music playing in the background.

“I am Baijin’s owner.” Chen Baiyu’s voice was as calm as possible. “Tonight, your dog bit my dog ​​in Jinxiuyuan Community.”

"Oh, it's you."

"Didn't the police say that even if there was no leash, it's just that I didn't watch him properly? Are you trying to extort money from me?"

The other person chuckled, their tone full of indifference.

"The police recommend that you pay all medical expenses and apologize." Chen Baiyu silently upgraded her decision to beat him up to cripple him in her mind, and then continued patiently, "In addition, my dog ​​is injured and needs to recuperate. You should also pay for some of the subsequent nutrition and care expenses."

"Ha, medical expenses?" The other person's voice suddenly rose, tinged with provocation. "Why should I pay for them? What's your lousy mongrel worth? It bit me, so what? It's just bad luck! Besides, who knows if your dog started it?"

“Surveillance footage or eyewitnesses can provide evidence.”

"Proof? Can proof feed you?" the other party sneered. "Let me tell you, even if this goes all the way to the police station, you won't get away with it. I won't pay a single penny, do whatever you want!"

"What's your attitude?"

Chen Baiyu's gaze sharpened.

Realizing that simply crippling someone might not be enough.

"This is my attitude, so what?" The other person's voice was arrogant. "Go ahead and fly back to deal with me if you dare! Let me tell you, no one in this neighborhood dares to talk to me like that. Your dog deserves it, who told it to block my dog's way?"

"Who do you think you are? Do you know how many brothers I can call to deal with you with just one phone call?"

"I think you've gone mad from being away in another city, haven't you? Hang up now, don't keep me from drinking. Otherwise, when you get back, I'll have my dog ​​'greet' your dog again, and this time it might not just bite its leg."

The other party scoffed.

Beep...beep...beep...

The call was then abruptly ended.

call……

calm.

call……

Calm and collected... what a load of rubbish!
All notions of a more sobering mechanism must be set aside for now.

Zengzi was right. I examine myself three times a day: Was I too polite? Did I give him too much face? Should I have taken action?
Chen Baiyu looked up at the night sky; the stars were obscured by the streetlights.

The phone screen was still lit, displaying that unfamiliar number.

He slowly exhaled, and then his eyes darkened completely.

The truth of the world is that society has its own rules of operation, and it is reasonable and realistic to make use of those rules.

Chen Baiyu originally wanted to try to communicate properly and settle the matter privately as the police suggested. He thought that as long as the other party showed some sincerity, the matter could be resolved amicably. At most, he would just put a sack over their head and beat them up in private.

But some people just can't understand reason.

The other party showed no remorse whatsoever.

They even tried to threaten them.

Then Chen Baiyu could only say that the second half of that worldly truth is: if rules are useless, or if someone doesn't follow the rules...

Then, I will become the rule.

Explaining legal principles or reasoning to you is useless, so I can only explain physics to you.

Since you want to play, I'll play with you.

As he pondered, the thug's words seemed to still echo in his ears: "This is my attitude, so what? If you're so capable, fly back now and deal with me..."

Now? Fly back? To get you?
Thank you for the guidance.

Book your tickets!
