After rebirth, I gave up Bai Yueguang
Chapter 47 Compensation
"Alas..." After a long silence, Lao Zhang finally let out a long, slow sigh, his sigh filled with self-blame. He hung his head dejectedly, his eyes fixed on the ground, and said in a low voice, "I didn't think it through!"
Old Zhang looked deeply depressed, his once honest face now shrouded in a gloom. He had never imagined that the student he had poured so much effort into teaching would turn out to be such a person. And he, who always prided himself on being conscientious and responsible, hadn't noticed at all. This was a resounding slap in the face.
At that moment, Lao Zhang suddenly began to doubt his role. Could he really be a good teacher? Was this really the right thought for a father with a lovely daughter? Just because he didn't want to ruin a young boy's future, did that mean he couldn't care less about a young girl's reputation and future?
In this case, the girl did nothing wrong, so why would he worry about her reputation being damaged? Why would he absurdly ask an innocent victim to be tolerant and let go of the perpetrator who could ruin her life?
How could she have such a ridiculous mentality? Su Jing was right. She was just thinking that because the other party was a boy, she felt that a boy's future was more important than a girl's rights.
"Teacher," the policewoman who had been silent for a long time spoke up at this moment, breaking the awkwardness of the moment: "Do you need me to help you open a case now?"
"Of course." Before Lao Zhang could say anything, Su Jing immediately jumped up and answered without hesitation: "This matter is entirely my own. It has nothing to do with anyone else. I don't need anyone's consent or opinion. I want the case filed, and I want it filed now."
"Open a case, of course we have to." Old Zhang seemed to have recovered from his reflection and nodded quickly, his tone becoming very firm. He then continued, "I really didn't handle this matter well. I shouldn't just focus on someone's future, nor should I just let it go because no one was hurt."
In the reception room, Chen Ke curled up in a chair. The pain in his lower body made his face pale as paper and his breathing was trembling. He didn't dare to look up, for fear of angering the police in front of him and his furious father.
"You bastard, what on earth have you done?" His father, a short but strong middle-aged man, roared like thunder, shaking Chen Ke's body on the chair. He almost collapsed to the ground because he didn't have much strength due to the pain.
"Ah? Speak! You little bastard, you had the strength to do bad things and act like a hooligan, but now you can't speak?" Chen Ke's father spoke with full energy, and his voice was so loud that even the door frame was shaking.
Chen Ke's body trembled again with his voice, and his head drooped even lower, as if he wanted to bury his head into his chest.
"Comrade, calm down and please speak properly." The policeman's voice was calm, but it made people feel particularly powerful.
"Okay, okay." Chen Ke's father's angry face immediately turned into a smile and he kept saying.
"Tell me, what's going on?" He suppressed his anger and tried to make his voice lower and less harsh.
Chen Ke's father was a foreman, constantly traveling to construction sites in the countryside. He had made a fortune in recent years during the reform and opening-up period. But his wealth didn't bring happiness to the family. His long absences led to problems between the couple, and Chen Ke's mother eventually demanded a divorce.
But after the divorce, he discovered that Chen Ke's mother had been having affairs for a long time, which made him doubt whether Chen Ke was his son. Later, he heard that Chen Ke's mother took the large sum of money she received from the divorce and married a man several years younger than her. The man was also much better looking than himself. He felt that he had earned money to be cuckolded, and he was filled with resentment.
With nowhere else to vent his anger, he could only direct it at Chen Ke. He would often verbally abuse Chen Ke whenever he saw him home. Because he was illiterate, he would beat Chen Ke up at the slightest provocation. But afterward, he would feel sorry for his son and would throw him a bunch of money before returning to the construction site.
When the police station called him today, his anger was immediately ignited. He drove to the police station in a hurry and wanted to beat Chen Ke up.
Chen Ke still didn't say anything, just curled up in the chair and shivered.
"Speak!" The silence lasted too long, and Chen Ke's angry father finally couldn't help it. He stepped forward and kicked Chen Ke in the stomach.
Chen Ke screamed in pain. Father Chen's actions directly affected his wound. The severe pain made him lose consciousness instantly. He fainted and fell to the ground with a dull thud.
The police officer nearby was also surprised by his sudden attack and quickly stood up to block the two men. With his hands outstretched, he blocked Chen's father and shouted, "What are you doing? What are you doing? You dare to hit someone in the police station? Even if he is your son, you can't just hit him."
Seeing his son fall down, Mr. Chen was also shocked. He didn't care about the police standing in front of him. He pushed him away, rushed to his son, and knelt down.
"Xiao Ke, Xiao Ke, what's wrong with you?" Chen's father's face, once tanned by the sun, turned pale. He reached out and shook Chen Ke violently. The police officer nearby hurried over, grabbed his hand, and yelled, "He's already passed out, and you're still shaking him? Why don't you take him to the hospital?"
Father Chen finally realized what he should do and stood up, trying to pick up his son. But the police officer reached out and stopped him, saying, "Have you forgotten what I told you? Don't try to pick him up! He was kicked in the groin and the pain hasn't healed yet. Now you've been asked to kick him so hard. If you move him again, what if something bad happens?"
The police's words hit Mr. Chen like a club. He was furious and had completely forgotten what the police had said. When he heard the police say his son's injuries were only to his lower body, he was stunned. "What will I do next? Will I be able to get married and have children? Will the Chen family's line of succession end? How embarrassing would it be if others knew?"
Father Chen muttered to himself as he squatted down and carefully passed one hand through Chen Ke's back, the other hand through his knees. He took a deep breath and unexpectedly lifted his son up horizontally. Then, the police officer and he hurried out of the police station, got into his car, and headed to the hospital.
While Lao Zhang was trying to persuade Su Jing, Chen Ke was sent to the hospital again. When they completed the case filing procedures with the help of the female police officer and came out, Chen Ke's father hurried back on his own.
Old Zhang looked into the detention room where Chen Ke had been staying, but he didn't see anyone. He was wondering why. Then he heard someone behind him calling him, "Teacher Zhang, Teacher Zhang."
Turning his head, he saw Chen Ke's father coming in from outside with a worried look on his face. He hurriedly went to greet him and said, "Chen Ke's father, why are you back from outside?"
"I was so angry just now that I kicked Chen Ke and he passed out. I just sent him to the hospital. The doctor said it's nothing serious for now and he needs to stay in the hospital for observation. I thought you were still waiting here, so I came back first." Chen's father's face was full of anger and worry.
Old Zhang frowned. He had seen Chen Ke's father's temper before, but he didn't expect him to take action right there at the police station. He looked at Su Jing, who was standing not far away. Su Jing was looking at them with a cold expression.
Chen Ke's father followed Lao Zhang's gaze and saw Su Jing. He quickly walked up to Su Jing and said to her with an apologetic smile, "Hey, Su, I'm sorry! My son did something wrong, and I'm very angry. I apologize to you on his behalf. Su, please forgive me. But..."
He paused at this point and said, "But you see, you're not injured. On the contrary, he kicked you in that spot, and you're still in the hospital."
Su Jing couldn't detect much genuine apology in Chen Ke's father's tone. Instead, it was mostly a pity for his son. Su Jing curled her lips coldly, interrupting him and asking, "Is he going to the hospital because of me?"
"Ah, no, no, it's me, it's me," Chen Ke's father said quickly, "I was just too angry and couldn't help it."
"Then tell me what he is doing in the hospital now? What does it have to do with me?" Su Jing said.
"So, was it because of you that I beat him?" Father Chen said with a smile, "He certainly deserved it, but you're classmates after all. Could you please let him go this time? I can compensate you, any amount is fine."
The same thing again, Su Jing's ghost fire jumped up to his head again.
"Student Su, I know you're very angry, and I know my son is indeed wrong. But he's still young. I beg you, can we not go through legal procedures and settle this privately? Is that okay?"
Su Jing looked at him as if he were a joke. People like him only considered things from their own perspective and believed that money and violence could solve everything.
"I'm sorry, I've already filed a complete case." Su Jing's tone was cold, leaving no room for bargaining.
Father Chen's expression turned even uglier. He said anxiously, "Student Su, I understand how you feel, but if my son is sentenced, his future will be over! I can compensate you for your emotional distress. Just name the amount. Please consider it and let him go this time, okay? As a girl, you should be kind and leave yourself a way out. It will also make it easier for you to navigate society in the future."
Originally, when Su Jing heard the first half, she was still hesitant about whether to understand the old father's intentions. But when he said the last sentence, that girls should be kinder, the fire of Samadhi in Su Jing's heart suddenly soared to the sky.
What the hell? Are you threatening me? What escape route? Are you trying to be careful about getting sacked while walking?
Su Jing was a softie, the kind who would resort to violence even when she knew she was losing. Chen's promise of money if she didn't sue was already an insult, and now he was threatening her with subtle threats. Haha, did they really think she was stupid just because she was only seventeen?
Just then, a group of people rushed in. The leader, a man in his early thirties, had a face thick with flesh and tanned skin. Following behind him were several burly young men, who rushed into the police station in a hurry.
