Chapter 471 - 471 At the Police Station
471 At the Police Station
Zhang Yi Hai rubbed his neck as he sat down on the chair, waiting for the police officer to return. As he sat there, he could still hear the voices of people cursing loudly.
He scanned his gaze around and wondered if he was going to have to spend his time at the police station tonight.
A few hours earlier, Zhang Yi Hai had punched Mika in the face after he caught that man harassing her. Who would have guessed that a few people were passing by at the time and saw this incident?
Noticing those people, Mika quickly acted as if he was the victim.
The police came over soon and Zhang Yi Hai was taken to the police station to record his statement.
Now, he was only worried about his girlfriend. Zhang Yi Hai knew that Fang Su Jin would be very worried.
Even so, he did not regret doing what he had done. If the same thing happen again, he would never hesitate to punch someone who harassed his girlfriend or any other woman.
After waiting for a while, the police officer returned to the desk again. He looked at Zhang Yi Hai and hesitated. Then, he recalled that the young man in front of him understood F Country’s language.
He thought about the words he heard from his superior again and heaved a sigh.
.....
The police officer was asked to hold this young man at the police station without investigating what actually happened.
He heard that this young man had punched the other guy until one of his teeth came off. According to this young man, he only punched that other man because that person was harassing his girlfriend.
This young man was indeed guilty of punching that other man, but the punishment waiting for him did not seem as if it was suitable for his crime.
But Mika was someone with some influence. Therefore, Zhang Yi Hai had no other choice but to face unfair punishment.
Noticing that the young man was looking at him, the police officer then let out a cough.
Taking a deep sigh, the police officer told him about the punishment he will have to face. Zhang Yi Hai will need to pay a large sum of money and spend two nights in lockup.
Zhang Yi Hai was quiet for a long time after he listened to the police officer’s words.
At this time, he was still worried about Fang Su Jin.
A while ago, he had let Fang Su Jin call her mentor, Teacher Jiang. Zhang Yi Hai explained what happened and asked Teacher Jiang to look after Fang Su Jin.
Still, Zhang Yi Hai could guess that Fang Su Jin would be very scared after what happened.
Moreover... Zhang Yi Hai heard that Mika was someone who had some influence on F Country’s art scene. What he was worried about was that Mika would hold a grudge and would not let Fang Su Jin take part in the exhibition which will be held tomorrow.
The worst part was that Mika might also use his influence to ban Fang Su Jin from having an exhibition in F Country.
Zhang Yi Hai knew that Fang Su Jin had worked very hard for this exhibition.
Her paintings were beautiful and he also hoped that a lot of people would be able to see them. It would be such a shame if Fang Su Jin could not have her exhibition in F Country.
The police officer stared at the young man in front of him for a long time.
Seeing that the young man had not said a word for a long time, the police officer began to wonder if the man did not understand his words.
Just as he was contemplating calling a translator, Zhang Yi Hai then spoke.
“Officer, I understand what you are saying, but before that, can I make a phone call?”
The police officer looked at the man warily. “Who are you going to call?”
“A family member.”
The police officer hesitated. Seeing that his colleague was busy doing their own work, he then decided to make his own decision to let Zhang Yi Hai make a phone call.
He was going to let his family members know that he will have to spend a few nights at the police station. It shouldn’t be a problem, right?
“Sure. Go ahead. But don’t take too long.”
Zhang Yi Hai heaved a breath of relief. He walked over to the corner and make an international phone call.
The police officer heaved with relief upon seeing that Zhang Yi Hai was not calling the embassy.
The dial tone continued for a long time. Just as Zhang Yi Hai was worried that the other party was not going to pick up the phone call, Zhang Yi Hai finally heard that stern voice on the other line.
“Hello? Who is this?”
“Uncle... It’s me. Zhang Yi Hai.”
There was a brief silence as Qi Ming Wei was checking at the phone number on his phone screen. “You’re calling from F Country. What happened?”
Zhang Yi Hai inhaled a deep breath. “I’m at the police station. Uncle, I ran into trouble in F Country. I was wondering if Aunt Yang have someone she knew who can help me.”
“What did you do?” Qi Ming Wei’s voice went deeper at the thought that Zhang Yi Hai had caused trouble in another country.
“Punching a scumbag for bullying a woman,” Zhang Yi Hai said. “Apparently, this person was someone with backers. Because of this, I might have to spend a few nights at the police station.”
“Tell me what happened in detail.”
Zhang Yi Hai told Qi Ming Wei what happened from the beginning.
He knew that he was at fault for injuring Mika. But that person had actually told the police that he injured him without reason. Even Zhang Yi Hai told the police his reason, they all dismissed his words and chose to believe Mika.
“I will see if there is something I can do,” Qi Ming Wei said after a long time. “Just stay at the police station quietly. I will send someone to get you out in a while.”
Zhang Yi Hai finally heaved in relief. “Thank you, Uncle.”
Qi Ming Wei was about to hang up the phone when he heard Zhang Yi Hai call his name again.
“Uncle, can you not tell my father about this? I don’t want him to worry?”
Qi Ming Wei raised a brow. He had a feeling that there was something else behind this story.
