Chapter 608: Chapter 608

Afterward, Pu Sangzhi recounted to Pan Bo in detail the conflict she had with Cai Yiwen that day because of queue-jumping.

In Pu Sangzhi’s opinion, it was a trivial matter of student conflict, hardly worth mentioning.

That’s why she didn’t mention it to the police earlier.

It wasn’t until Pan Bo asked that she casually brought it up.

Actually, everyone’s thoughts were similar to hers.

Even after hearing about the incident, no one believed that Cai Yiwen was the instigator. After all, it was just a minor issue...

After listening to her, Pan Bo didn’t take the matter to heart either.

Perhaps nobody would think that such a terrifying thing could have been orchestrated by a student.

The most likely reason in his mind was the same as what those people had mentioned... debt collection.

The incident of debt collection that those people talked about again and again, Pan Bo and a few brothers kept silent, didn’t reveal it to the police, and didn’t tell Huo Feng either.

Now, Pan Bo thought it necessary to tell the person involved, Pu Sangzhi...

Thus, Pan Bo whispered to Pu Sangzhi, "Older brother’s wife, the truth is, those people mentioned during the scuffle... they said you should repay the money. Do you think it could be this reason?"

Perhaps because those people had already given a leading reason, Pan Bo and his brothers were somewhat inclined to believe it. Chapters fırst released on 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩~𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖~𝙣𝙚𝙩

But they still considered other possible reasons.

Because when Pu Sangzhi had just returned home, Brother Feng had told them that her family’s situation had been resolved cleanly.

Therefore, other possibilities were not ruled out.

What if some purposive perpetrator was intentionally framing this issue?

Pu Sangzhi was taken aback when she heard this reason.

Seeing her reaction, Pan Bo knew she must be feeling sensitive and quickly added, "But then again, you can’t completely trust what they said. Think about it, would criminals announce themselves before committing a crime? Moreover, this time it was definitely illegal methods. If it really was about debt collection, wouldn’t the creditors be bringing trouble to themselves by revealing their identity?"

As Pan Bo kept explaining, Pu Sangzhi just said, "Actually, if you say it’s them, it might be possible..."

Upon hearing this, Pan Bo was at a loss for words and didn’t know how to respond.

Then Pu Sangzhi added, "I’ll ask my father later. Maybe he knows something."

Pan Bo nodded, and then tried to reassure her further, "Older brother’s wife, I think you should consider whether you’ve offended anyone recently. It may not necessarily be the debt collectors. My analysis just now made some sense, don’t you think?"

Pu Sangzhi pursed her lips and nodded her head.

Whether Pan Bo’s analysis made sense, Pu Sangzhi was unsure.

All she could think about was if it really was the debt collectors, then she would be the ultimate sinner...

If it really turned out to be due to her family, then those who had been hurt were Huo Feng and Wen Miao, while she was unscathed, without a scratch on her.

In the heat of the moment, when those people threw two bottles of sulfuric acid, one was blocked by Wen Miao, the other by Huo Feng. In any case, she wasn’t affected at all...

Pu Sangzhi thought: If the reason was indeed because of her family, then she would never dare get close to anyone again in the future.

In the afternoon, Pu Sangzhi, Pan Bo, and others waited in the police station for news, spending several hours.

In the end, they still got no news.

Because those who caused the disturbance wore helmets and masks and rode motorcycles without license plates, they quickly left the monitored area after the incident.

Then they were long gone, making it difficult for the police to trace.

Later on, as the police had no evidence from those people, they called Pu Sangzhi and others back for further interrogation.

They questioned in more detail all the possibilities of retaliation...

This second time, Pan Bo and the others still concealed the clue that those people had talked about "collecting debts."

But honest Pu Sangzhi, during the interrogation, openly spoke of her family’s debts and the pressure from the debt collection company.

Then the police proceeded to learn that those debt collection companies had caused trouble at Pu Sangzhi’s home and at the school, and also retrieved the related events of Huo Mingshan’s last report from the police archives...

Thus, gaining this clue, the police directly classified this as a malicious debt incident.

As the original company was located in Shanghai and cross-provincial cases were troublesome, the police suggested to Pu Sangzhi to have her elder family members sue the debt collection company, and the police would submit all evidence for this case.

Malicious debt collection is unacceptable, the fault lies with the creditors, hence, the lawsuit can be won, and a substantial compensation can be obtained.

Thus, the police didn’t go out to look for those thugs who assaulted others again...

One reason was that those people’s identities were unclear and very hard to find; it might take a considerable amount of police force and manpower without any guarantee of finding them.

The second reason was that, although the ringleaders of this incident had been identified, they only needed to hold the ringleaders accountable. Those thugs who harmed people were just lackeys, and even if captured, no compensation would be obtained.

So, after an afternoon of turmoil and a full hour of reinterrogation, this police report was concluded with these results.

Though it appeared to be a satisfactory conclusion...

In reality, nothing was resolved, and nothing was found out.

Around 7:00 PM, Pu Sangzhi and a few brothers finally left the police station...

By that time, it was already dark outside, and they walked under the night sky, heads hanging low, returning in dismay, feeling very downhearted.

Pan Bo made phone calls to Huo Feng and Wen Miao in the hospital.

The two in the hospital were doing relatively fine, with no special circumstances, and both had elders accompanying them; for the moment, there were no significant problems.

Afterward, the brothers scattered, each returning to his own home, to rest.

As for how to proceed with this matter, Pan Bo and the others still thought it would be best to wait for Huo Feng’s instructions.

Pan Bo and Pu Sangzhi also planned to visit the hospitalized Huo Feng and Wen Miao.

Therefore, Pan Bo walked with her, and on the way, they bought some fruit and chatted about light subjects...

But even as they chewed the fat on light topics, they could not lighten their mood.

Pan Bo could see that Pu Sangzhi felt extremely guilty and blamed herself for the incident.

Around 7:40 PM, Pan Bo and Pu Sangzhi arrived at the hospital.

Pu Sangzhi first went to Huo Feng’s room, while Pan Bo, choosing the opposite, went to Wen Miao’s room first.

They both had heard that Huo Feng found the family members in Wen Miao’s room too noisy and had requested to be transferred to a single room, paying more for some peace and quiet.

However, that was just the surface reason.

In fact, the reason Huo Feng wanted to move to a single room was to take the opportunity to be intimate with Pu Sangzhi when she came to visit him!

And so, Pu Sangzhi went...

As soon as she opened the door of the room, Shen Yu, who was sitting beside Huo Feng, stood up and greeted her, "Child, you’re here."

After the greeting, she added without reservation, "You’re a bit late. Someone here has been waiting so long that they’re growing mushrooms on their head."

"Auntie, good evening..."

Pu Sangzhi nodded to Shen Yu, then her gaze shifted to that certain someone growing mushrooms on his head on the bed...

Because Huo Feng’s wounds were on his back, he could only lie prone or sit up straight, and he couldn’t move his neck at will, so his movements were very restricted...

Because of this, Huo Feng wanted to turn his head to look at Pu Sangzhi but had to endure the urge.

He could only face away from Pu Sangzhi and holler, "Sangzhi! Why so late? I’ve been waiting for you forever. I’m tired but dare not sleep; hurry and come over!"

At Huo Feng’s urging, Pu Sangzhi quickened her steps and trotted over...

Seeing Pu Sangzhi coming, Shen Yu hastily patted her shoulder, saying, "Okay, you chat, I’m going to eat. Sangzhi, stay a little longer, okay? I’ll come back later to take over."

Pu Sangzhi nodded, "Goodbye, auntie."

With that, Shen Yu left the room satisfied, leaving the solitary patient to the two of them...

Pu Sangzhi sat down by Huo Feng’s bed, reached out cautiously, and lifted the blanket to inspect Huo Feng’s back under the cover...

He wasn’t wearing a hospital gown, laid bare-chested on the bed, covered with layers of gauze around his body and neck.

"Your wounds are all on the back, so don’t move around..."

Pu Sangzhi carefully replaced the blanket and softly cautioned him with her lips parted.

"Hey, hey, come here..."

Huo Feng called out to her, "To where I can see you."

Pu Sangzhi bowed her head and moved closer, obediently putting her head next to his, and asked, "Is this okay?"

Huo Feng slightly moved his neck and squinted at her, lips curling up into a smile, "I can see you now... this is comfortable..."

She didn’t know what he had to be so happy about...

He was hurt because of her, yet he was this contented.

Sometimes, looking at Huo Feng , Pu Sangzhi thought he was particularly foolish...
