Chapter 2360 Justice Will Come
Chapter 2360 Justice Will Come
Marcy didn't notice the other person's eyes, and was still concentrating on watching the little creatures playing in the constant temperature room, with great interest.
In the afternoon, she and Zhou Si fed all the little ones together.
Only then did Zhou Si say goodbye and leave.
The next morning, when Marcy went to school, she saw Charlene and found that she looked a little depressed and her eyes were dull.
Moreover, his left arm was wrapped in bandages, and was obviously injured, and it seemed difficult for him to even lift it up.
Marcy's heart tightened, and she quickly stepped forward and asked with concern: "Charlene, what's wrong with your arm?"
Charlene forced a smile, shook her head and said, "Nothing."
But Marcy felt something was wrong. Recalling how hurriedly she left on Saturday, she wondered if something had happened.
She pressed, "You left in such a hurry on Saturday, did something happen?"
Charlene lowered her eyes and said softly, "It's really nothing."
Ma Xi's face was serious, her brows were furrowed, and there was a hint of blame in her voice: "When I was in trouble, you helped me so much. Now that you are in trouble, you don't tell me. Don't you treat me as a friend?"
Charlene lowered her head, twisted her hands together nervously, shook her head and said softly, "No, it's just...you may not be able to solve this problem, and speaking out about it will only make you worried."
Marcy held her hand and said, "How can I know if you don't tell me? Even if I can't do it, I can still help you find a solution. We are friends, aren't we? Just tell me."
Charlene hesitated again and again, her eyes flickering, and finally gritted her teeth and whispered what happened last Saturday.
Finally, he said: "Those gangsters must have backgrounds. At the beginning, the police investigation was quite active, and they sent people to collect evidence and record statements. But after yesterday, the other party began to be perfunctory, and even evaded us by saying that the investigation was fruitless, saying that there was insufficient evidence and the clues were broken.
As for the man who was arrested, he didn't know anything and played dumb. Now, we dare not go back home for fear of their revenge. The store has also been closed."
Moreover, those things were smashed to pieces and the losses were heavy. Those days were really scary.
In the past two days, the family has not slept a wink because of this matter, and the mother is heartbroken.
Marcy's eyes widened. She didn't expect the situation to be so serious. "Why are you saying this now?"
Charlene smiled bitterly, the corners of her mouth twitching slightly, and her voice was low and tired: "We didn't expect the police to change their attitude. We originally hoped that they would be able to do justice, but now it seems that this is not the case."
Marcy immediately patted her hands and comforted her, "Charlene, don't worry. I will definitely give you an explanation for this matter. Don't be afraid. Not all police officers are like this. There are always good people. Justice will eventually come."
Charlene's eyes were dull, as if shrouded in a heavy haze. She slowly lowered her head and sighed softly.
Those people have strong backers, and they can’t beat them.
What's more, even the police are on their side, so there is no hope at all.
Her parents and she had agreed that if there was really no other way, they would just have to swallow the loss and pretend nothing had happened.
Marcy also noticed it, so she continued to comfort him with gentle words and stayed with him patiently for a while until she was sure that his emotions had truly stabilized. Then she stood up and walked to the window a little further away.
She took out her cell phone, slid her fingertips across the screen, and dialed Lu Chengnan's number directly.
The phone was picked up after only two rings, and Lu Chengnan's surprised voice immediately came from the receiver.
"Strange, why would you call me? What happened? Did someone bully you again?"
Ma Xi said apologetically, "No, no, Uncle Lu, I'm fine, no one bullies me."
She took a deep breath, knowing that Lu Chengnan's time was precious, and quickly got to the point, "However, there is indeed something very important that I would like to ask for your help."
At this point, she spoke faster, clearly and concisely explaining the predicament Charlene was facing.
Finally, he added: "The police department was quite positive at first, but later on they became slack and there has been no progress.
I always feel that there may be some reason behind this, so I really have no choice but to ask you if it would be convenient for you to understand the specific situation?"
Lu Chengnan listened quietly on the other end of the phone, and only responded briefly at the key points.
After Ma Xi finished speaking, he barely hesitated, and his steady voice came through the receiver, "I understand, you don't have to worry about this matter, let Second Uncle handle it."
Marcy felt relieved, but then she was filled with worry again.
She subconsciously clenched her phone, her tone becoming a little hesitant, "Uncle Lu, is this... too much trouble for you? Or, will it cause you any inconvenience?"
She asked cautiously, fearing that her request would cause trouble for Uncle Lu.
Lu Chengnan laughed, his voice revealing a bit of nonchalance, and he said: "This is not a big deal, it's just collusion between police and criminals. We have already cleared a wave of them at the beginning of the year, but I didn't expect that there are still some fish that slipped through the net.
Don't worry, the police are responsible for not handling your friend's family's affairs properly, and they will give an explanation for this matter."
When Marcy heard his relaxed and casual tone, she immediately felt relieved, knowing that this matter was indeed not a big deal for him.
I immediately responded gratefully, "Thank you, Uncle Lu."
Lu Chengnan replied: "No, just go to class obediently."
Marcy said obediently, "Okay."
After hanging up the phone, she quickly walked back to Charlene.
Seeing that Xia Lin was still clenching her hands nervously, he gently patted her shoulder and comforted her in a firm tone: "Don't worry, this matter will definitely be resolved soon. The police will handle it."
Charlene didn't know where she got such optimism from.
In her opinion, the police are officials, high above everyone else, and represent unshakable authority.
But she was just an ordinary civilian with little power, how could she possibly compete with him?
Whenever she thought of this, Charlene's heart became heavy, as if it was being pressed down by a huge rock, and even breathing became difficult.
She recalled what happened yesterday, the ignored complaints, and the cold responses, and her heart fell into the abyss of despair.
Marcy saw it all, and now there was nothing she could do but stay with her as long as possible.
After the morning classes, Marcy offered to go with Charlene to visit her parents.
When Lin heard this, she immediately shook her head and refused, with a trace of embarrassment on her face.
She explained in a low voice: "You'd better not go. The rental house is not in a very good environment. It's small and messy. It's really not a place to entertain guests."
Ma Xi didn't care about that. She didn't allow Charlene to refuse. She grabbed Charlene's hand and said with a smile, "I brought some good medicine for wounds. Don't you want it? It's very effective. With this, you and your uncle's injuries will heal faster."
Xia Lin hesitated for a moment. She didn't want Shi Yang to see this embarrassing scene.
Ma Xi immediately said: "Can you bear to see your uncle in pain all the time?"
After hearing this, Charlene felt warm in her heart and tears welled up in her eyes.
She understood Marcie's good intentions, and she couldn't refuse this friendship.
So, she took a deep breath, forced a smile, and thanked him sincerely: "Shi Yang, thank you."
Then, Charlene took her home without hesitation.
