Deliberately Hitting His Face

"…" 

Tong Yi clenched her fists. She wanted to rush over and beat Lu Zhanbei up, see if he can remain calm after that!

However, she could not do anything of the sort to him. She had to save him.

She was so angry that her teeth hurt.

Why was it so difficult for her to return a favor?

Tong Yi took a moment to calm herself, then resigned herself to her fate and began to think of a way to complete the mission.

It was almost impossible to get Lu Zhanbei to apologize, so the only other way was for her to talk to the person who was beaten up.

The best solution to this problem was money.

She had no money on her, so she had to get it from Ling Rui.

Tong Yi walked out of the detention room and found Ling Rui leaning against the car door, smoking. She walked over to him.

When Ling Rui saw Tong Yi walk over, he took out a cigarette from the pack and handed it over.

Tong Yi waved her hand in dismissal.

Ling Rui shoved it toward her again. "Make do with it. There are no shops nearby selling the brand you smoke."

Tong Yi was shocked and asked in disbelief, "I smoke?"

Ling Rui gave Tong Yi a look that said, 'Is there something wrong with your brain?'

Tong Yi rolled her eyes silently in her heart. Scum, smoking. Her character profile in the game was really… complicated.

Tong Yi pushed Ling Rui's hand away. "From today onwards, I quit."

Ling Rui's hand trembled in disbelief and the cigarette fell to the ground.

The smoking addict, Tong Yi, said she wanted to quit smoking?

Tong Yi was in no mood to analyze Ling Rui's reaction. She ignored his surprised gaze and asked, "How much money do you have on you?"

Ling Rui shook his head. "I don't have any on me."

Tong Yi silently thought to herself, 'Why is the system so unreliable these days?'

"Why do you need money?" Ling Rui asked.

Tong Yi raised her chin slightly and pointed at the police station. "I need to mediate the dispute."

"Oh, I see. I thought you wanted cash." As Ling Rui spoke, he took out a card from his pocket and handed it to Tong Yi.

"…" Was there something wrong with this person's brain? Tong Yi did not take the card and asked, "How much money is in the card?"

"Don't you know what an unlimited black card is?"

"No," Tong Yi replied dismissively and turned to walk back to the police station.

"…" Ling Rui frowned at the card in his hand. Was her black card different from his? He looked at Tong Yi again. "You don't want the card?"

"Later, someone will come to get the money from you. Give him the money." Tong Yi entered the police station without looking back and found the officer who had attended to her earlier.

The policeman asked her, "Is Lu Zhanbei willing to apologize?"

Tong Yi shook her head. "Can I communicate with the injured party?"

"We have already discussed the issue with him. The other party clearly said that Lu Zhanbei must apologize. Otherwise, he will sue Mr. Lu."

Tong Yi nodded, expressing her understanding. "Let me try talking to him."

The policeman frowned. "The other party isn't in a good mood. I would strongly advise you not to do so."

"It's fine. I'll take responsibility for the consequences."

Seeing Tong Yi's persistence, the policeman did not try to dissuade her further. "Alright then, follow me."

As they approached the door of the waiting room, Tong Yi stopped the officer who was about to go in with her. "I want to talk to him alone."

The policeman was worried. "Are you sure?"

Tong Yi nodded.

The policeman gave it some thought before saying, "Okay, call me if you need anything. I'll be in the room next door."

Tong Yi thanked him and pushed open the door after the policeman had left.

Inside the room, a man in his early thirties was leaning against a sofa, holding an ice pack to his face. The most eye-catching thing about him was his extremely swollen face and multi-colored hair.

The first thought that popped into Tong Yi's mind was, 'Lu Zhanbei is ruthless. He deliberately chose to hit the person's face.'
