Chapter 2359 Jealousy
Charlene fell hard and scraped her knee, causing her to gasp in pain.
She subconsciously reached out to pull the other person's legs, but was kicked hard in the abdomen and almost fainted from the pain.
The other party took the opportunity to break free and ran away.
Upon seeing this, the police immediately shouted to stop the suspect and quickly started a chase.
However, because of Charlene's drag, the other party failed to escape far away and was caught up by the police. He was pressed to the ground, handcuffed and unable to move.
As for the rest of the accomplices, other policemen chased them separately and the scene was in chaos.
The neighbor hurriedly helped Xia Lin up and said anxiously: "Girl, why are you bothering them? One of them has a knife! It's very dangerous. Are you okay? "
Xia Lin was not alright, her face was as pale as paper and cold sweat broke out on her forehead. The kick from the opponent was very heavy and the severe pain in her abdomen made her unable to straighten her back. Her arms and knees were also dragged and had long bloody wounds.
Her sleeves were stained with blood, and she leaned weakly on her neighbor's shoulder, breathing hard.
Father Xia had several cuts on his body, mainly on his arms and back, and his clothes were stained with large patches of blood, which was a shocking sight.
Upon seeing this, everyone worked together to help him up and quickly sent him to a nearby hospital.
After arriving at the emergency room, medical staff immediately arranged a series of examinations, including wound disinfection, X-ray scans and blood pressure measurements.
Fortunately, after a detailed diagnosis, it was found that my father's wounds were not very deep. They were just skin injuries, with no damage to his internal organs or bones, and were not fatal.
As for Charlene, she was helped through a full body check-up.
The results showed some minor internal injuries, especially the lungs were shaken causing difficulty breathing. The place where he was kicked had a large bruise and some local swelling.
After careful evaluation, the doctor decided that close observation was needed to prevent internal bleeding.
So she was hospitalized for a day for observation, and was arranged to have intravenous drip and pain relief.
Later, two police officers came and took a detailed note of the incident, including the time, location and witness statements.
The store’s surveillance video has been retrieved, which clearly shows that the group of people deliberately provoked and injured people after breaking into the store. There is solid evidence of the entire process.
The police initially confirmed that those people were habitual offenders who specifically came to extort money. They have now identified the suspects and are planning to launch a capture operation.
Xia's mother cried for the whole afternoon, tears constantly falling, and repeatedly begged the police to catch those people.
Her daughter and husband were so badly injured that her voice was choked with despair.
A middle-aged police officer gently comforted her and said, "We will do our best to catch the suspect. The suspect who resisted your daughter during the dragging process is already in the interrogation room. We may be able to find out his whereabouts. Once we have any news, we will call you as soon as possible."
Mother Xia nodded and sobbed, "Okay, then I'll trouble the policeman."
……
Marcy didn't know about this. The next morning, Zhou Si drove to pick her up and prepared to go to the insect market to buy the gadgets they wanted.
When leaving the house, Shah Rukh repeatedly reminded her, "Remember, you must come back early, don't stay outside for too long, and be careful on the road."
He rubbed his hands nervously, as if his daughter was about to be kidnapped.
Marcy found it amusing.
Her father was still very nervous. She had nothing to do with Zhou Si.
It was just a simple matter of going out, and that was the reaction.
If she really has a boyfriend in the future, wouldn't her father be so worried that he can't sleep all night, like a guardian angel?
On the way to the market, Zhou Si turned his head and asked her with a probing tone: "Why is uncle so worried? Could it be that... he misunderstood something about what happened at school last time?"
Ma Xi's ears felt hot instantly. She quickly glanced at Zhou Si, then lowered her head, twisting the corner of her clothes unconsciously with her fingers, and said with a little shame and annoyance: "Ignore him, he just worries about me all day long, always afraid that I will be easily kidnapped by someone just because of my face."
Zhou Si asked her sharply, "Why do you feel this way? Do you have a criminal record?"
The word "criminal record" was like a small needle that pricked Marcie gently.
She paused, feeling inexplicably guilty, like a cat whose tail was stepped on.
When she was in the tribe, she had never seen a man from outside. When she first saw Brother Yan Jue brought back by her father, she was so shocked by his handsomeness that she couldn't take her eyes off him and her heart skipped a beat.
"Uh……"
Marcy was speechless and her cheeks turned even redder. Indeed...she did have a criminal record.
Although, she admitted that she is still a face lover, and when she sees a good-looking person, she can't help but take a second look.
But she is no longer the ignorant little girl who would easily fall in love with a pretty face at first sight.
At that time, my love for Yan Jue was more or less superficial and casual, more like the admiration and appreciation of beautiful things, and it had not even really developed into the depth of love between men and women.
It was only later that she gradually realized that when two people are together, one cannot just look at the surface.
The bond between each other and the fusion of souls are the most important!
Just like the misunderstandings she had experienced, she realized that true feelings need time to settle.
Zhou Si's eyes darkened slightly, and he tapped the steering wheel with his fingers, thinking: I was right? Has this girl liked someone else before?
For some reason, he felt a sense of blockage in his heart, as if something was pressing on him.
I originally thought I shouldn't ask more, but I couldn't help but speak, with a barely perceptible tension in my voice: "Who is it?"
Ma Xi always felt that his tone seemed to be a little low, so she immediately shook her head, her eyes flickered, and she said quickly: "No one, it's all in the past, and it's not what you think... It's really nothing."
"is it?"
Zhou Si seemed unconvinced and frowned slightly.
Marcy nodded seriously, "Yeah."
While the car was waiting quietly at the intersection at a red light, Zhou Si turned sideways and looked at her carefully. Her expression was frank and her eyes were clear, and she didn't seem to be lying.
He felt relieved and the corners of his mouth unconsciously rose.
I think he was just overthinking it, she didn't have anyone else in her heart.
The two quickly passed over the topic and talked about other things.
Later in the evening, arrive at the market.
Because of Zhou Si's presence, coupled with his expertise and rich experience, the two of them had an easy time making the selection.
They bought many kinds of insects and rare trinkets.
At noon, they returned home with a great harvest.
When we got home, my aunt had just made lunch, so we sat down and ate together. After eating, we put all the little things in the incubator.
The originally spacious space began to become lively, with insects crawling and flying, making tiny noises.
Marcy was in a very good mood, with a big smile on her face.
She pulled Zhou Si's arm, pointed to the box eagerly and said, "Look, those two are fighting, it's really interesting."
Zhou Si's gaze involuntarily fell on her slender hands, and then moved to her bright eyebrows and eyes. That clear look seemed to light up the entire incubator.
His eyes darkened slightly, and a desire to protect surged in his heart.
She really didn't want anyone to see her like this.
