Su Yue was the first to realize that the police who had just arrived were likely here because of them.
"Are you okay?" She didn't dare to step forward directly with Meng Hualan present.
She could only stand there, looking at him with a bit of surprise.
"Son..." Seeing Chen Ziming's expression, Meng Hualan felt a flicker of panic.
But she also noticed something was wrong with him.
"Aunt Meng, you, you haven't left yet!" The moment Jin Yan saw Meng Hualan, he felt as if his soul had left his body.
He could feel the low pressure from the man beside him and knew he wouldn't be let off easily this time.
"Yueyue, come here."
He didn't lose his temper after all, but with a grim face, he called out to Su Yue.
She was still hesitant to move, afraid Meng Hualan would be displeased if ignored like this.
"Did you get into a fight?" Meng Hualan finally realized what had happened and stepped forward worriedly, intending to check the wound at the corner of his mouth.
Chen Ziming dodged her directly.
"Take my mother away."
He turned his head slightly, his voice terrifyingly deep.
Jin Yan understood immediately. He was also eager to leave, so he pulled Meng Hualan and fled.
Su Yue breathed a sigh of relief and quickly stepped forward, her small face filled with worry and nervousness.
She looked up, carefully examining the corner of his mouth. There was bruising and blood, but fortunately, it wasn't serious.
Yet, even though it wasn't serious, it was enough to make her heart ache.
She subconsciously reached out, wanting to caress it, as if the injured spot could heal instantly.
Her small hand was caught by the man.
Feeling his hand tremble slightly, she was startled. She reached out with her other hand and cupped his large one in her palm.
The knuckles on the back of his hand were clearly red and swollen.
"Who did you fight with?" She suppressed the tremor in her heart and looked up at him again.
Her eyes were red.
Seeing this, the man's expression softened. He reached out with his free hand and gently pulled her head into his embrace.
"It's nothing. Take your things, I'll take you home first."
She immediately felt reluctant. She pulled away from his embrace, looked at him, and shook her head:
"I'll stay with you, I'm not going anywhere."
Suddenly, a police officer walked over.
"Ziming, we'll take the people away first. You can come over later."
"Yes, thank you." He nodded slightly at the officer.
It was as he turned sideways that Su Yue's eyes widened.
She noticed one of the people being escorted away by the police in the hall.
Although his face was bruised and swollen, she could still recognize that it was Zhao Mo.
She was stunned.
Sensing her expression, Chen Ziming said goodbye to the officer beside him, then lowered his head, cinched his waist, and squinted, looking as if he understood.
He let out a soft chuckle and said leisurely:
"No wonder they were so clearly targeting me. Turns out we really do have a grudge."
"Hmm? You and him? What grudge?" Su Yue was still in shock, absently asking as she watched Zhao Mo's retreating figure being taken away.
Her expression, which had just softened, turned cold again.
Chen Ziming reached out and pressed her head, applying a little force, making her look at him.
"Is he better looking than me?"
His tone was clearly tinged with jealousy.
Su Yue suddenly understood.
"You fought with him?!"
"I beat him."
"..."
She was too shocked to speak. Everything that had happened was too absurd, and she still couldn't comprehend it.
Seeing her reaction, Chen Ziming didn't say anything more. He took her hand and said in a calmer tone:
"Grab your things, let's go."
...
At the nearby police station.
Upon arrival, Chen Ziming disappeared as usual.
But he found a female officer to accompany her.
After the female officer's explanation, she finally understood the whole story.
Jin Yan had wanted to take Chen Ziming to his office. On the way, they passed a restroom, and Zhao Mo happened to be coming out.
He was drunk and saw Chen Ziming. He paused, then lunged forward.
The injury on his mouth was from this.
When Zhao Mo's friends heard the commotion and rushed over, Zhao Mo had already been beaten to the ground and couldn't get up.
There were surveillance cameras in the restaurant, making it easy to collect evidence.
After hearing this, she was stunned.
She suddenly remembered what Zhao Mo had said during the tennis match.
"I will prove to you how absurd the choice to be with him is."
Could it be... that this was how he proved it...
Su Yue couldn't help but cover her face.
It's over, she's definitely angered Chen Ziming again this time.
