They half-dragged and half-helped Aunt Shu into her room.

One is physically injured, the other is emotionally wounded!

They sat on either side of the sofa.

The air was frozen.

I didn't know what to say, and she didn't know how to say it either.

If I, an outsider, were to interfere in these family matters, it would only cause them more trouble.

After holding back for a few minutes, I finally managed to say, "How about you give me his phone number, and I'll talk to him and explain?"

When Aunt Shu heard my voice, she regained some of her senses.

He shook his head and reached out his hand to me.

I understood and handed her the phone.

In a hoarse voice, she called the police.

Then, I regained my strength and came to my senses.

While I was searching for gauze and liniment in the room, I finally had time to look around.

This is a small one-bedroom apartment, suitable for one or two people.

Although it's not large, the interior is very well-decorated, like a five-star hotel apartment.

The things inside look very comfortable and elegant, just like Aunt Shu's personality.

I don't know if she bought or rented the apartment.

I searched for a long time but couldn't find any wound medicine or gauze.

The spot on my arm where I was hit is starting to hurt more and more.

Damn, it's definitely cracked!

That bastard, he really went all out.

"Manager Shu, if you don't have it, don't bother looking. We'll send someone over later, and after we've dealt with this, we'll go straight to the hospital. It feels like a bone is slightly fractured!"

Seeing her frantically searching, completely lacking the shrewdness and attentiveness she displays at work, I had to remind her.

She calmed down a little after that.

"I'm so sorry, Jiang Ning. If it weren't for you today, I'd probably be crippled or dead!"

Exactly! Even someone as tall and strong as me got beaten up like this. Imagine what would happen to her?

I wouldn't dare to think about it.

"Hey, Manager Shu, now I'm not your jinx anymore, am I? I feel like you're the jinx I'm facing!"

My face was in excruciating pain, but my mouth remained unchanged.

My words immediately drew her attention, and her almond-shaped eyes widened: "You, who are you calling a jinx?"

When it habitually raises its foot to kick me, it remembers the miserable state I am in now.

Seeing that she had regained some of her composure, I asked, "What enemies do you have? That guy today was pretty ruthless!"

She frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "I don't have any enemies!"

I laughed and said, "Think about it again. If you don't have any enemies, why would someone deliberately hide and ambush you? You must have offended someone!"

These days, what are the chances of so many coincidences? Just a coincidence of mistaking someone for someone else?

How could someone like Aunt Shu easily admit her mistakes?

That car, that figure, that style, that presence…

As the two stared at each other in silence, the messenger arrived.

That's really efficient!

Seeing that I was injured, the two officers didn't take me to the station to give a statement. Instead, they had me write it down in the room, turn on the recording, and recount the events that had happened. Then, one of the policewomen went down to the parking lot to take photos and collect evidence.

"Ms. Shu, has anything unusual happened recently?"

"Recently? Nothing particularly special has happened; it's just normal work and life."

"Your eligibility indicates you are married, so why don't you live at home? Why do you live in an apartment?"

Aunt Shu was a little taken aback by the question. She was always the one who argued with people, never expecting to be chased down like this by a young policewoman.

"Is this important? This is my family matter!"

Another middle-aged male police officer was taking notes, his face expressionless, letting the young policewoman ask him questions.

"Ms. Shu, of course it's important. Since you didn't see who attacked you or know who you offended, you need to find out all the details before you can find any clues!"

Aunt Shu choked on her words.

If it weren't for the inappropriate occasion, I would definitely have laughed for a while.

Wow, so it turns out there are people who can keep Aunt Shu in check!

"My husband and I had a fight, and we just bought this apartment because we didn't want to go home, so we moved here!"

Oh, money talks. In such a prime location, you can buy anytime.

I'm so envious and jealous! Hmph!

"So, what about your husband??" The policewoman was really direct!

Aunt Shu quickly shook her head and waved her hands: "Him? No way, he's an educated man. It can't be. Besides, he was waiting for me upstairs just now, and when he saw me and my colleague, he got angry and went back down. It couldn't be him!"

Aunt Shu is definitely right about this!

"Okay, I'll verify this with him!"

Aunt Shu was startled: "What? Why do you need to verify this with him?"

"Until the person who attacked you is caught, anyone is a suspect!"

The young policewoman is quite professional!

I looked at her admiringly. She had a few freckles on her face and her features were a bit sharp, but wearing a uniform, I felt that she had a cool and capable air about her.

I nodded to myself, Old Liu would definitely like it!

Then she turned to me: "Are you Ms. Shu's colleague?"

"Yes, that's right!"

I hesitated for a moment, why do you even have to ask me?

"Did you get a good look at that person's face, height, or other physical characteristics?"

I closed my eyes briefly and thought carefully: "I can't tell, but it was definitely a man. He had long strides and was quite strong!"

I pointed to the wound on my arm, a large, purplish-black area of ​​external injury!

She then turned to Aunt Shu: "According to what you just said, Jiang Ning hasn't been with the company for very long. Logically speaking, given your level, you shouldn't be very familiar with him. Why did you contact him immediately when you were attacked?"

Holy crap, what does this mean?

Just as I was about to answer, Aunt Shu raised her hand, stopping me from replying.

He works in the department that I directly supervise.

Moreover, a little earlier that evening, she and other colleagues from the company treated guests to dinner.

The first call I received on my phone was from him, and I only had enough battery left for one more call, so I called him!

Hmm, that's a perfect explanation!

"If there's anything else you forgot to mention but then remembered, remember to tell us! It will help solve the case! During this time, you need to be careful. If possible, hire a bodyguard."

This was clearly directed at Aunt Shu. If I were targeted and injured, what kind of impact would it have?

They're no different from stray dogs on the street, are they?

This realistic thought makes me very uncomfortable!

After asking all sorts of miscellaneous questions, the matter was finally resolved!

Aunt Shu helped me quickly downstairs, and we went out with the police car.

Otherwise, if that person is still around, they might get tricked again and be finished.

The policewoman left us her phone number. I looked at her business card, which said she was Miao Miao, a trainee police officer.

Another uniform-themed item? It's a pity Lao Liu isn't here, so I've lost the mood to appreciate it.
