Chapter Thirty: Seeking Help!

  Xu looked anxiously at the two police officers in front of him and asked worriedly, "Can I bail them out? Actually, they are innocent, they only fought to help me."

  An older policeman sitting in front of her looked at her and said, "Even if it was a righteous act, the blow was too heavy. The person who was beaten is still in the hospital now, I heard that he had seven stitches on his head, and your friend took the initiative to do it. It's not reasonable for you to bail them out, neither emotionally nor logically."

  "But...the law is also about human feelings, and they are all good people with proper jobs, they are all recent graduates from university, some things they still don't understand, that's why..."

  "Haha, they don't understand? I think they understand better than anyone. That guy named Liang Hao is already a regular here, often being brought in for fighting and brawling, the number of cases against him are piling up so high it's almost as tall as he is! And you still say they're good people?" A young police officer recording nearby laughed.

  "Officer Chen, please help me out no matter what, I'll pay any bail amount," said Director Xu.

  The old policeman shook his head in distress and said, "Actually, I also want to help you, but the person who was beaten doesn't agree. Just now, the hospital called and that person said they must be detained for seven or eight days, otherwise this matter won't be settled. Looking at their attitude, they're not willing to give up. The victim insists on filing a complaint, what can we do?"

  Xu stopped talking and thought to herself, it seems like there's really no other way. With her limited power and influence, how could she possibly persuade others? At this moment, she suddenly thought of someone, thinking that this person should be able to help.

  "Officer Chen, can I see them then?" Xu Dan asked.

  Officer Chen looked at her and thought for a moment before saying, "Alright, but don't take too long."

  "Thank you, I really appreciate it."

  Xu arrived at the detention room under the escort of a police officer, and as soon as he saw Zhang Ziheng, he hurried over to greet him, anxiously asking: "How is it? Are you all right?"

  As soon as Director Xu arrived, Zhang Ziheng's spirits lifted a bit, and he smiled slightly, saying: "It's okay, Sister Xu, are you alright? Has the police given you any trouble?"

  "I'm fine too, but I won't be able to bail you out, sorry." Xu Dan said apologetically.

  "Ah, it's okay, don't blame yourself. You're a friend of Ziheng, and we're also friends of Ziheng. Since that's the case, you're our friend too! Friends helping friends is only natural, what's there to apologize for? Don't worry about us, after staying here for a few days, we'll leave, so don't worry." Little Tian said with a chuckle.

  "Yes, Director Xu, we're all friends, don't be so formal." Li Wencheng nodded and smiled.

  Xu smiled and nodded, saying: "Thank you, thank you all."

  "Oh, by the way, Sister Xu, what about Song Fan? Has he stopped bothering you?" Zhang Ziheng asked.

  Xu shook his head and said: "He is in the hospital now, I heard that he was seriously injured."

  "Haha, serves them right, this kind of person would die and no one would feel sorry for them. Speaking of which, I have to thank that wine bottle, hitting it at the time really relieved my anger." Li Wencheng laughed out loud.

  Xiao Tian gave him a glance and said: "Yes, thanks to that wine bottle of yours, we're now locked up."

  "Hey, what's going on here? You didn't lift a hand when he was hitting him? I saw that you were the one who kicked him the hardest, right in the face, almost disfiguring him." Li Wencheng said.

  "Aren't I helping you out? You didn't see how big and tall he was, you might not have been able to beat him by yourself. If it wasn't for me helping you, maybe it would be you in the hospital right now." Xiaotian retorted.

  Just as the two were arguing, Director Xu whispered to Zhang Ziheng: "I've been trying to persuade them to release you on bail for half a day, but I couldn't convince them. However, I thought of someone who might be able to help you."

  "Who is it?" Zhang Ziheng hastily asked.

  Xu looked at him and said, "Who else can it be? The chairman, of course. He has done such a big business, his face is definitely wider than mine. If he comes forward, I'm sure he will think of a way to save you. But if you want the chairman to help you, that depends on you. If you call Wang Xue, I think this matter will be much easier."

  Zhang Ziheng was stunned, and only then did he remember that he had promised Wang Xue to return home before 9 o'clock. He quickly glanced at his watch and saw that it was almost 9:30. Now she must be furious at home.

  "What's wrong? Why are you dazed? Is there a problem?" Xu asked.

  "Ah? Oh, no problem, I'll give it a try then." Zhang Ziheng smiled.

  Xu nodded and then said to the police officer beside him: "Sorry, may I ask if he can make a phone call?"

  The police officer furrowed his brow and said, "No, it's a rule."

  "Please, just make a phone call, it won't take too long. Just for a moment, please make an exception." Xu rushed to beg.

  It's not that this man can't help but go soft when he sees a beautiful woman, especially one as lovely and gentle as Director Xu. The policeman looked at her with difficulty, sighed, and said: "Alright, alright, just hurry up, if others see it I'll be in trouble too."

  "Thank you, thank you so much." Mr. Xu hastily handed his phone over to Zhang Ziheng.

  Zhang Ziheng took the phone and was stunned for a moment, then said: "Use your phone to call? But I didn't remember her number, it's all on my police... Can you bring me my phone?"

  "It's okay, I have it," said Director Xu, rummaging through his bag again. After a while, he pulled out a small notebook, flipped through it, and handed it to Zhang Ziheng, saying: "The third from the last is Wang Xue's phone number, hurry up and call her."

  Zhang Ziheng nodded and dialed the number, but Wang Xue's phone was turned off. He tried calling again twice, but it was still the same. Shaking his head, Zhang Ziheng thought to himself that she must be angry and had turned off her phone.

  "How is it? Still can't get through?" asked Director Xu.

  Zhang Ziheng nodded and said: "It seems that it's not going to work today, or I think I'd better give up. Even if I manage to get through to her, she may not necessarily help."

  "How is it possible? Aren't you her boyfriend?" Xu asked.

  "Yes, but... Oh dear, never mind, forget it."

  "Otherwise, you tell me where she is and I'll go to her house to find her, isn't that easy?" Xu said, putting down the phone.

  "What? You're going to look for her? This..." Zhang Ziheng said with difficulty.

  "What's wrong? Is there a problem? Ah, come on, tell me quickly, the longer you stay here, the more anxious I become." Xu said anxiously.

  Zhang Ziheng nodded and told her the address, "The place she's living now is my home, but I think she must have locked the door from the inside. Even if I give you the key, it won't work. Just knock on the door later, knock a few more times, shout a few times, and she'll open it."

  "You... you're living with her now?" Xu asked, and suddenly she had a strange feeling in her heart that was quite uncomfortable.

  "Ah, no, not like that. It's her who insisted on moving in with me, and I've been sleeping on the sofa all this time, without even touching her once. I'm telling the truth." Zhang Ziheng hastily explained, afraid that Xu would misunderstand.

  Xu nodded and said: "Oh, I see. Well, I'll go first, you guys wait here for my good news." After finishing speaking, he hurriedly left.

  Xu Zong had just left, and Xiao Tian came over, smiling at Zhang Zi Heng, saying: "You little rascal, are you interested in Xu Zong or not?"

  Zhang Ziheng was startled and hastily said: "What nonsense are you talking about? I only regard Sister Xu as a friend, don't talk nonsense."

  "Haha, this time I'm not talking nonsense. Do you think I can't see it? When a man is interested in a woman, his eyes will be different when he sees the woman he likes, with a deep and tender look. And just now, your eyes were like that, but you won't admit it." Little Tian said with a smile.

  Zhang Ziheng was taken aback, then said displeased: "What's with the eyes? I saw you looking at Wen Cheng just now, and your eyes were like that too. Do you have a crush on him or something?" After saying that, he ignored him and turned to sit in the corner.

  Xiao Tian smiled secretly to himself, thinking that his guess was correct, this kid is guilty. At this time, Li Wen Cheng walked over, furrowed his brow and asked: "Hey, what he said earlier wasn't true, right? You don't really like me, do you?"

  "Huh? You... go die."

  Xu accelerated to the maximum, and in less than twenty minutes, he drove to Zhang Ziheng's home. He knocked loudly on the door while shouting: "Wang Xue, Wang Xue, are you at home? If you're at home, please open the door, I need to find you."

  But there was no response from inside the house, instead, it woke up the neighbors who opened their doors to see who was disturbing them so late. Mr. Xu hurriedly apologized, saying he had an urgent matter and would be done soon, then continued knocking on the door.

  "Wang Xue, if you're at home, open the door! Zi Heng is in trouble, hurry up and open the door!" Xu Dan shouted loudly.

  As soon as the words were spoken, the door opened immediately. Wang Xue asked anxiously: "What's going on? What happened to Ziheng? Hmm? Aren't you Xu from the design department?"

  Xu rushed into the house and closed the door, saying: "This is not the time to discuss this matter. Ziheng and his friends have entered the police station, they won't let me bail him out. I think now only you can help him."

  "What? Police station? How could he go to the police station? He...he wouldn't have been caught, would he? But that's impossible, unless he wanted to die." Wang Xue thought and said.

  "Oh dear, what's gotten into you? Stop thinking nonsense and come with me quickly." Xu said anxiously.

  "Hey, wait a minute, how did you know they went to the police station? And why didn't he call me? Did he want you to come find me?" Wang Xue asked with furrowed brows.

  Xu sighed and briefly explained the situation, "I have no choice but to rely on you."

  Wang Xue nodded and said: "Wait for me a moment, I'll change into another set of clothes and then go with you."

  Xu Zong smiled and nodded, secretly thinking that there was finally a way out.
