Su Yi was already in a state of half-sleep, completely oblivious to anything amiss.
Zhou Jinchuan, on the other hand, was too nervous to sleep with her holding him so tightly.
He could only close his eyes, lightly placing his hand on her shoulder, his fingers twitching with anxiety.
After a long while, sensing that the person in his arms had fallen asleep, he cautiously tried to get out of bed.
But as soon as he moved, the person in his arms rolled over, pinning him down, and mumbled, “Don’t move, let’s sleep a little longer.”
Zhou Jinchuan took a deep breath and could only silently close his eyes and count his own heartbeat.
Not knowing how much time had passed,
Su Yi finally woke up completely and, upon opening her eyes, saw that familiar profile.
[!!! What’s going on!]
After a moment of thought, she remembered what had happened.
[Oh my goodness, I’m so embarrassed!!!]
Zhou Jinchuan saw that she was awake and then opened his eyes, smiling at her.
Su Yi also shyly greeted him in a soft voice, “Good morning.”
“Did you sleep well last night?”
“Pretty well, how about you?”
“I, I slept well too.”
Perhaps it was the allure of the warmth within the blankets, neither of them thought about getting out of bed first.
They just lay there under the covers, awkwardly chatting for a few sentences, when they heard Ye Nuannuan’s sturdy footsteps charging in, “Uncle, Auntie—”
Ye Xiaowu followed closely behind, trying to stop her but was a step too late.
When the two of them rushed in, they saw the two still in an embrace.
Su Yi was startled and quickly pushed Zhou Jinchuan, “Cough, didn’t you sleep on the floor last night?”
Zhou Jinchuan, caught off guard, rolled onto the bed on the floor and looked at the two children, laughing bitterly, “I slept on the floor, your Auntie had a nightmare this morning, so I went up to check on her.”
Su Yi also quickly played along, “Yes, yes, I remember, I had a nightmare just now, it scared me to death.”
Ye Nuannuan was young and didn’t know what was going on.
Hearing that her Auntie had a nightmare, she quickly took off her shoes and climbed onto the bed, patting Su Yi’s back, “Auntie don’t be scared, Nuannuan is here.”
Su Yi then smiled, “Yeah, Auntie isn’t scared anymore.”
Ye Xiaowu wasn’t as easily fooled as Ye Nuannuan.
He looked both embarrassed and happy.
Embarrassed because he hadn’t been able to stop Nuannuan.
Happy because he saw his uncle and aunt sleeping in the same room, did that mean the two of them were close to getting married?
“Auntie, what happened last night? Are you okay?”
Su Yi quickly shook her head, “We’re fine, some bad guys came to town yesterday, we were catching them together.”
Ye Nuannuan was curious, “Did you catch the bad guys?”
Zhou Jinchuan curled his lips, “We caught them, they’ve been locked up. After we eat, I’m going to take your Auntie out for a bit, you two go to school well, okay?”
The two children nodded repeatedly.
After breakfast, Zhou Jinchuan accompanied Su Yi to the county police station.
They made a statement about what happened yesterday.
Su Yi was worried that she had been too harsh, so she cooperated fully throughout and acted very timid.
As for what happened last night, there was only one explanation.
That is, she was really too scared, and with all the recent unrest in the town, she specially carried pepper spray with her.
They run a Sichuan restaurant, and the one thing they don’t lack is chili peppers, especially the extra spicy kind.
As for the iron rod, she just happened to find it in an alley.
In addition, the people who were at the restaurant yesterday were also arrested for questioning, and it turned out that someone had paid them to intentionally stay there and not leave.
Adding to that, the few hooligans were also all silent yesterday night, so the matter was pretty clear.
However, the few people refused to admit what they planned to do, insisting they were only sent to scare her.
Zhou Jinchuan was very dissatisfied with this, “They studied the escapee’s modus operandi beforehand, and they wanted to frame her, they clearly didn’t intend to leave her alive, but just scared her?”
The station chief also looked embarrassed, “Comrade Zhou, don’t worry, we’ll continue to question them about this.”
Zhou Jinchuan paused, “Where are they? Can I see them?”
The station chief twitched his lips, “You mean those hooligans? They howled in pain all night last night, and they were all sent to the hospital this morning.”
Su Yi couldn’t help but twitch her lips after hearing that.
These people were really too incompetent, could they blame her for this?
“What about Bai Ruolin and the escapee? Did you find out what happened?”
“Bai Ruolin is still in the intensive care unit of the hospital, we haven’t interrogated her yet, but the evidence is solid, she can’t deny it.”
“As for the escapee, we interrogated him overnight yesterday, according to his confession, he didn’t intend to commit a crime in your town, he just happened to wander there, wanting to steal some food under the cover of night, but he unexpectedly ran into Bai Ruolin wandering around suspiciously in the back of town, and that’s when he attacked her.”
Zhou Jinchuan nodded, “You’ve all worked hard, we’ll go back and wait for your news.”
The station chief agreed and sent them out.
Out of the door, Zhou Jinchuan drove Su Yi back.
As soon as they arrived in town, Su Yi told him to go directly to the restaurant, “I’m fine now, I’ll go back to work, and everyone will be uneasy if I’m not there.”
Zhou Jinchuan knew he couldn’t persuade her, so he decided to accompany her, “I’ll go with you, I just happen to have time off these days.”
When they arrived at the restaurant,
They saw a crowd of customers gathered inside and outside the restaurant.
Some were there to eat, and some were simply there to watch the excitement.
What happened last night had spread throughout the entire town by this morning.
Everyone was saying that the owner of the Sichuan restaurant was a hidden master, who had beaten up several men all by herself.
Some people also said that she had a very powerful pepper spray.
So everyone came to see.
In response, Su Yi just smiled and showed everyone her pepper spray, “Actually, I’m not that powerful, it’s just that our store’s devil chili peppers are powerful, just a little bit of this pepper spray in your eyes, and you’ll be in excruciating pain, where would you have the strength to fight anyone?”
However, Su Yi’s matter was just a small episode.
Compared to catching the extremely vicious escapee, it was like a small witch meeting a big witch.
So the limelight was quickly overshadowed.
The most discussed topic among the crowd was when the escapee would be shot.
After all, he had two lives on his hands, and one was left half-dead.
Speaking of the half-dead one, more people talked about her, it was simply infuriating and heartbreaking.
But what the crowd was most concerned about was how many years this woman would get.
Some said at least ten years, while others said ten years was too much.
Regardless of the opinions, everyone agreed that this person’s life was over.
If they had a daughter like that, they might as well kill her.
Just as everyone was talking about it, Bai Ruolin’s parents arrived in the county.
As soon as the two arrived, they wanted to go to the hospital to see their daughter.
But they were not allowed to go in at all.
After making a fuss at the hospital for a long time, they could only take a peek from the window.
