"Quick, call an ambulance!" Zhang Wenhui noticed the blood flowing from Liu Dagu's crotch at first glance.
Song Xiaojia hurriedly called for an ambulance through the walkie-talkie. It wasn't long before the ambulance rushed to the scene and then took Liu Dagu to the hospital.
"Who did this?" Song Xiaojia exclaimed, "So ruthless?"
"Who else could it be?" Zhang Wenhui took a drag on his cigarette and sneered, "Whoever dares to strike Liu Dagu must have extraordinary courage."
"Who is it?" Song Xiaojia asked urgently.
"When I arrived, I saw the rear eight-wheeler of Tai Feixiang Company." Zhang Wenhui sneered, "And there were people on the truck. Guess who I saw?"
"Could it be Lin Chuan?" Song Xiaojia was astonished.
"Exactly." Zhang Wenhui nodded, "Although we can't say he did it, he's likely involved to a large extent."
"That bastard, I'm going to find him." Song Xiaojia said angrily, "Assaulting a public official and committing intentional injury, hmph, he must be brought to justice!"
"Do you really want to catch him that much?" Zhang Wenhui asked.
"Everyone is equal before the law." Song Xiaojia huffed, "Lin Chuan also must be brought to justice."
"Did you forget what I've told you before?" Zhang Wenhui smiled, "Besides, do you have any evidence? All of this is just our speculation."
"But as police officers, can we just sit back and do nothing?" Song Xiaojia asked.
"Of course not." Zhang Wenhui smiled, "We'll still follow the normal procedures, let's visit Secretary Liu at the hospital tomorrow morning. See what his attitude is like."
"Hmm!" Song Xiaojia nodded.
After a round of discussion, the two left the scene. The driver hurriedly drove to the hospital.
Following an emergency rescue at the hospital, Liu Dagu finally managed to save one testicle, while the other had to be removed due to being necrotic from rupturing and could not be preserved. Otherwise, it could have easily led to infection, potentially rendering the remaining testicle useless and even endangering his life.
Upon exiting the emergency room, Liu Dagu was transferred to a regular ward.
After all, it was just a broken testicle; although it was the utmost pain, it was not life-threatening.
Still under the influence of anesthesia, Liu Dagu lay in the hospital bed, motionless as a dead pig. When he woke up the next morning, the anesthetic had worn off, and the pain made him sweat profusely.
His driver asked anxiously, "Secretary Liu, are you... are you okay?"
"What do you think?' Liu Dagu snapped in anger. This damn driver had hit someone and even tried to flee; how could he have employed such an ignorant person as a driver? He deeply regretted it.
"I...," the driver said awkwardly, "Lin Chuan sent me to give you a message yesterday."
"What message?" Liu Dagu gritted his teeth, "If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have ended up like this."
"He... he said if you get him involved in this matter... to think about your son and daughter abroad," the driver said helplessly, "What do you think?"
"That's a threat, this is a threat!" Liu Dagu roared.
"Secretary Liu, I think... we should take it easy with this matter," the driver said awkwardly, "How about... we focus on healing first and then thoroughly investigate Lin Chuan. If in the end he really has no backing, we can simply round up a few people to take care of him. But if he indeed has a powerful background, I think... it might be best not to provoke him. What do you think?"
Liu Dagu thought about it and seemed to find some sense in it, but he was also somewhat unwilling. He had already lost one of his testicles, leaving him with only one left, which made Liu Dagu very sad. According to medical statistics, losing one testicle means losing twenty percent of one's sexual potency. His performance used to last only thirty seconds; now with an eighty percent loss in his sexual capability, he feared he might be left with only twenty-four seconds in the future.
Liu Dagu felt like he was in agony, utterly miserable.
"Damn it, that bastard," Liu Dagu cursed vehemently.
At eight o'clock in the morning, Song Xiaojia and Zhang Wenhui went to the hospital to learn about the situation. However, Liu Dagu only claimed that he got hurt by accident while walking, unrelated to anyone else. Since they couldn't get any information from Liu Dagu, the two had no choice but to leave.
After leaving the hospital, Zhang Wenhui couldn't wait to light up a cigarette and his lips curled into a smile that was neither a smile nor a sneer.
"Team Leader Zhang, you're really amazing, how did you know that Liu Dagu wouldn't dare to say anything?" Song Xiaojia looked at Zhang Wenhui with surprise and great admiration. She didn't know when she started to admire Zhang Wenhui. She used to think that he was a terrible man, but now she discovered a seemingly extraordinary predictive power hidden within him.
"Intuition." Zhang Wenhui said with a hint of a smile.
"Huh?" Song Xiaojia looked bewildered and asked, "Captain Zhang, do you usually rely on intuition for solving cases?"
"Haha, not really, but this time, it really was intuition," Zhang Wenhui said with a slight upturn of his mouth.
They walked out of the hospital. Song Xiaojia had been puzzled all along. It obviously had something to do with Lin Chuan and his gang, yet he didn't dare to point the finger at Lin Chuan. What did that imply? It meant that Lin Chuan must have something on him. There was no other explanation that could make sense; otherwise, no explanation could suffice.
Song Xiaojia decided to go and ask Lin Chuan for the truth.
Once at Huai Mountain South Road, Zhang Wenhui immediately got out of the car, and Song Xiaojia drove alone to Changlin Community. Coincidentally, Lin Chuan was in the factory, sitting there with a group of underlings surrounding him as if listening to the boss's lecture.
"Chuanzi..." Just then, Liu Cheng rushed in hurriedly.
"What's up?" Lin Chuan asked.
"The cops are here." Liu Cheng was a wily old ginger, not yet fully integrated into the family, harboring his own little schemes, which Lin Chuan was well aware of. Liu Cheng urgently said, "They're surely here to arrest you; you'd better hide."
"I'm not hiding," Lin Chuan said with a smile. "What do I have to hide from? I haven't abducted nor injured anyone; what for?"
Liu Cheng was taken aback, and at that moment, Song Xiaojia walked in. This policewoman was extraordinarily enchanting, with even-length short hair and a delicate face, her mouth quirking up playfully. As she strode into the factory, she said with a smile, "Oh, everyone's here?"
"What brings you?" Lin Chuan said with a smile. "Officer Song, are you here to bust us for an illegal gathering?"
"Hmph." Song Xiaojia snorted lightly and said, "I don't have that leisure, I'm just a bit puzzled is all."
"Zhou Kai, go ahead with the others and get busy," Lin Chuan replied.
"Oh, okay." Zhou Kai nodded, he hopped down from an old machine and dusted off his behind, then waved and said, "Guys, let's go make some cash."
"Roar, let's make money!" The crowd shouted out.
The deafening noise nearly burst Song Xiaojia's eardrums. She was so scared that she quickly covered her ears.
Lin Chuan stood up, smiling radiantly, and asked, "Officer Song, go ahead, what's puzzling you? There's no one else here now, just the two of us."
"I just want to ask, Liu Dagu's injury is definitely related to you guys, why wouldn't he mention you?" Song Xiaojia looked at Lin Chuan with interest. After so much time and experience, Song Xiaojia seemed to have matured a bit. If it was her old self, she probably would have blurted out loudly and lunged to arrest Lin Chuan by now. But this time it was different; she even learned to come and ask Lin Chuan for reasons, even somewhat deliberately unhurriedly. Or maybe, she hadn't thought about arresting Lin Chuan at all.
"How do you know it's related to me?" Lin Chuan curiously asked.
"You don't need to worry about how I know," Song Xiaojia snorted, with an air of confidence.
"That's right, it's not my fault, but it does have something to do with me," Lin Chuan patted his chest and said, "A man who commits a deed should bear the consequences. I don't shirk responsibility."
"Humph, you dare to admit it?" Song Xiaojia curled her lips with a mischievous smile, "Aren't you afraid I'll arrest you?"
"Hehe, Officer Song, don't joke around," Lin Chuan sat down on a Taishi Chair nearby and laughed, "Would you dare to arrest me? After all, we've had our intimate moments, haven't we? As the saying goes, a day of marriage holds a hundred days of grace, don't you think..."
Song Xiaojia's face instantly turned red, and she glared at Lin Chuan, saying, "You jerk, what nonsense are you spouting?"
"Uh..." Lin Chuan looked astonished at Song Xiaojia, asking, "Officer Song, could it be... could it be that I'm mistaken?"
"Who's had any intimate moments with you?" Song Xiaojia glared at Lin Chuan, scolding, "Please don't spout nonsense."
"Uh..." Lin Chuan was startled, then laughed and added, "Officer Song, could it be that you've forgotten?"
"Do not bring up the past with me," Song Xiaojia exploded in anger, "You jerk, you took advantage of me, and you dare to bring that up?"
"Hehe, it was unintentional at the time," Lin Chuan said with an awkward laugh.
"I don't care whether you intended it or not," Song Xiaojia glared at Lin Chuan and said, "You better be careful. I'm telling you, if I catch you red-handed next time, heh heh, I will personally handcuff you and take you to the station."
After saying this, Song Xiaojia left in anger.
Watching Song Xiaojia stomp off in a huff, Lin Chuan's mouth curved up slightly. This girl, still too naïve at heart. But, that didn't deny the fact that she was a good cop. In fact, Lin Chuan's impression of Song Xiaojia had changed significantly. At the very least, from her multiple actions, Song Xiaojia proved to be a good cop who genuinely cared for the public, not to mention her judgement and case-solving abilities.
