Rebirth Starting as a Stock Market Enthusiast

Soon, the police officer came out after reviewing the surveillance footage. By then, his attitude had clearly changed. He first nodded amicably to Shen Fei: "Young man, how are you feeling now? Is there anything wrong with your body? Do you need to contact your family?"

"No need, I can manage on my own."

Shen Fei dared not let his parents know. No matter how big or small the matter was, if his parents found out that he had entered the police station, who knows what kind of trouble they would cause.

The police inspector then looked at Zhang Chao and said coldly, "You, call your family now and have them come over. They say they were injured by you and want to apply for a medical examination."

"what?"

Zhang Yang's mind went blank; he was completely stunned: "Officers, didn't you check the surveillance footage? I really didn't hit him!"

"You think that causing trouble in a public place, harassing a female shop assistant, grabbing her by the collar, and threatening her afterwards is a small matter? Now that the person involved is feeling unwell, whether she was injured or not can only be determined by going to the hospital for a check-up. It's not something you can just let go of with a single sentence."

It was only at this moment that Zhang Yang truly realized the seriousness of the matter.

What's going on here?

All I wanted was to date Xu Lu, right?

And that kid, I really didn't hit him, I just tugged at his collar to scare him.

When the police first arrived, they said it wasn't a big deal. But after watching the surveillance footage, why do I have to go to the police station to give a statement?

He's a fitness instructor; it's fine for him to brag to his clients, but what if he actually ends up in jail...?

Just as Zhang Yang was looking completely bewildered, a police car with flashing lights drove up.

"Alright, everyone get in the car. We're going back to the station to give our statements."

Just as Shen Fei got into the car and was about to close the door, a figure suddenly darted out from the side.

"I want to go too."

Xu Lu's clear voice rang out.

The police inspector shook his head: "There are no seats available."

"I can squeeze in."

"Nonsense!"

The police inspector was genuinely angry: "This is a police car, do you think this is child's play? You think you can squeeze in like that!"

"I don't care, I'm a victim too, I'm going too."

After she finished speaking, she squeezed in and sat down close to Shen Fei.

The back seat of the police car in the small county town was already narrow, and now the two of them were pressed together.

Shen Fei felt the softness coming from his legs, and his heart was pounding. What the hell is going on? Don't force me to fall in love!

What decent person would fall in love? If you really believe in the light, I can shine on my own, why bother finding someone else to cause trouble?

"Why did you follow me up here?"

Shen Fei asked in a low voice.

Xu Lu's voice was soft yet stubborn, with a slight tremor: "This matter started because of me, and I can't let you go alone."

Xu Lu's body was stiff, and her ears were so red they looked like they were about to bleed.

A small, icy hand quietly gripped Shen Fei's clothes, refusing to let go.

Shen Fei felt a sudden tenderness in his heart. He didn't say anything more, but simply touched the back of her hand with the back of his own without making a sound.

Shen Fei said with a clear conscience: I just felt sorry for this girl. Any normal person would have comforted her like that.

Yes, that's it!

Xu Lu's fingertips trembled suddenly, but as if she had found a support, she quietly moved half a step closer to him.

Speechless all the way.

After arriving at the county hospital, I went through a series of procedures including X-rays, examinations, and injury assessments. By the time I finished, it was almost dark.

Unsurprisingly, the test results showed no problems.

The middle-aged policeman holding the medical examination certificate looked at Shen Fei helplessly: "Young man, you... you're perfectly fine. This result means Zhang Yang won't be detained or jailed. At most, he'll have to write a guarantee. All this trouble has been for nothing, hasn't it?"

Shen Fei took the report that said "Nothing's wrong" and retorted, "All that work for nothing? Officer, do you really think that surveillance footage, medical reports... these things would be a waste of time in our small county?"

"If I hadn't made such a fuss and insisted on making a big deal out of it, you probably would have just glanced at it and left without even getting a police report."

Officer Liu was stunned for a moment.

"I'll make the chain of evidence as complete as possible. I'll also have Zhang Yang write a guarantee and have all the relevant people sign it. With such a complete set of materials, believe me, I can post it online, and Zhang Yang and his family will never be able to hold their heads up high in the county again."

The middle-aged police inspector finally understood Shen Fei's meaning: he wanted Zhang Yang to know that although he wouldn't be detained, he could ruin Zhang Yang's life at any time.

……

After returning to the police station, Zhang Yang's mother finally arrived. She was in her fifties, carrying a bag, and dressed well, indicating that her family was well-off.

As soon as she entered the mediation room, she went straight to the middle-aged policeman and said, "Chief Liu, look at the mess this has made. It's just kids playing around, how did it end up in the station? I'm so sorry to have troubled you."

Officer Liu remained expressionless: "Sister Wang, your Zhang Yang has caused trouble in public and threatened others. This is no small matter. You two should handle it yourselves."

When Zhang Yang's mother heard Officer Liu say this, she immediately realized that the key to resolving the issue through negotiation was to see the attitudes of Shen Fei and Xu Lu.

Perhaps because Xu Lu looked somewhat naive and nervous, Sister Wang immediately launched into a lecture on her as soon as she sat down.

"You must be Xu Lu, right? Wow, you're really pretty."

Sister Wang looked at Xu Lu and said with a smile, "Zhang Yang mentioned you to me before, and I thought that even if a relationship doesn't work out, we can still be friends. There's no need to make things so awkward."

"Officer Liu and I have known each other for a long time. We're both from a small county, so we see each other all the time."

Zhang Yang's mother is indeed quite something. First, she downplayed the issue, and then she brought up Officer Liu to scare Xu Lu.

Before Shen Fei could react, Officer Liu, who was sitting nearby, couldn't sit still any longer. Shen Fei's actions today were anything but simple, and he didn't want to get involved. He quickly said, "Sister Wang, this has nothing to do with me. We'll handle this officially. The key is your attitude."

"Your name is Shen Fei?" After seeing that Officer Liu's banner couldn't be raised, Sister Wang turned to look at Shen Fei.

She took a wad of cash from her bag and placed it in front of Shen Fei, estimating it to be about a thousand yuan. She said, "Young man, Zhang Yang was in the wrong here; young people get hot-tempered. Here, take this money as an apology from your aunt. It includes medical expenses and compensation for emotional distress. Let's both compromise and let's call it even, okay?"

Upon arriving at this point, Zhang Yang's mother felt she had already shown them considerable courtesy, so she stood up and said, "I see that everyone is alright, so let's all go. The police station isn't a good place; it's best to avoid it unless absolutely necessary."

Zhang Yang's mother didn't mention Zhang Yang's fight at all, thinking of paying some money to settle the matter, and even subtly blamed Shen Fei for making things worse.
