Chapter 111 Two Brain-Damaged Things
The ward was silent.
Choi Jin-ri collapsed onto the bed, her body trembling uncontrollably, and her face, which had just regained some color, turned deathly pale again.
She glanced at Cui Zi, who was lying on the ground, looking like a mangled mess, then turned and glared fiercely at Lin Yuan, making a grinding sound with her teeth.
It's clear how furious Choi Jin-ri, who is known as the "human peach" and has a timid personality, was at this moment.
"Why! Why did you treat him so cruelly?" Choi Jin-ri questioned Lin Yuan through gritted teeth. "He's my boyfriend. Is our business your concern?"
Choi Jin-ri's voice grew louder and louder as she spoke, and she seemed to have gone mad, frantically searching for something everywhere.
If she wasn't in bed, he would lift the covers and walk around the ward barefoot.
When she saw the phone on the sofa, she rushed over and grabbed it.
She dialed the police.
"Yo-ho, Gangnam Police Station."
"I'm calling the police! Someone hit my boyfriend and broke his arm!"
While shouting into her phone, Choi Jin-ri threatened Lin Yuan, "You wait, I'll definitely send you to jail."
Lin Yuan shrugged indifferently, indicating that she could do as she pleased.
Lee Ji-eun was initially worried about Jin-ri's health and wondered if she should go up and help.
She was completely disappointed in her best friend after Choi Jin-ri shouted into the phone and threatened to send Lim Won to prison.
She was very disappointed, and a thousand grievances welled up in her heart at once.
She didn't know where the gentle, lovely, and always-calling Jinri had gone, or how she had become like this.
Insane, unable to distinguish right from wrong, and hopelessly stupid!
Park Jiyeon noticed Lee Ji-eun's sadness, walked over and hugged her tightly, gently patting her back, trying to ease her grief.
As a close friend of Truth, Park Jiyeon also didn't understand.
Choi Jin-ri was still telling the operator what had happened when she learned that someone would be sent to investigate shortly after she hung up.
She snorted disdainfully, glared at Lin Yuan, and then, ignoring the strange looks from the crowd, tried to help Cui Zi up.
Despite her best efforts, her weakened state ultimately prevented her from succeeding.
Choi Jin-ri wanted to ask for help, so she looked at Lee Ji-eun and said, "Unnie, can you help me lift this up? I can't lift it."
Lee Ji-eun ignored her and looked to the side in disappointment. "Lin Yuan, let's go. I'm hungry and want to eat."
"Okay, then..."
"Don't leave!"
Upon hearing that the two were about to leave, Choi Jin-ri disregarded even Choi Ja and rushed forward to block their way.
She pointed at Lin Yuan menacingly, "You can leave, but you can't! I've already called the police, and you can't leave until they arrive."
"Truth, stop fooling around."
Park Jiyeon stepped forward, standing between Jinri and Lin Yuan, gave Lin Yuan an apologetic smile, and then whispered her advice:
"Stop joking around, Zhenli. Someone like Cui Zi isn't worth your time! Besides, President Lin came to help us, to help you solve the problem with those photos. You can't repay kindness with enmity."
"Also, when the police arrive, you absolutely cannot say that Cui Zi was beaten. Just say that he fell down on his own, understand?"
"Did you fall?"
Choi Jin-ri looked at Park Ji-yeon in disbelief as if she had heard the biggest joke in the world, then let out a sharp, cold laugh. "Ji-yeon, even you're taking sides with outsiders? He broke Choi Ja's hand, and you want me to say he fell down on his own? My affairs are none of your business!"
She shoved Park Jiyeon away, her whole body breathing heavily due to her emotional outburst, her once delicate face now appearing somewhat ferocious.
Park Jiyeon stumbled after being pushed away, but luckily Lin Yuan reached out and helped her regain her balance.
After Park Jiyeon stopped, she looked at her friend, who was now like a stranger, and the warmth in her eyes completely cooled down.
The atmosphere in the ward plummeted to freezing point.
Lying on the ground, Cui Zi let out a painful groan. Although he was beaten black and blue and his hand bones were broken, his mind was not completely confused.
Upon hearing that Choi Jin-ri had actually called the police, a barely perceptible hint of panic flashed in his eyes. He struggled to grab Choi Jin-ri's trouser leg, but was unable to move due to the intense pain.
Lin Yuan watched this scene, a mocking smile playing on his lips. He straightened his suit cuffs, walked unhurriedly to the sofa, sat down, and even elegantly crossed his legs.
"Since Miss Cui is being so cooperative, then we'll wait for the police to arrive."
Lin Yuan's tone was calm, without the slightest fluctuation.
He turned to look at Lee Ji-eun and Park Ji-yeon, whose faces were pale, and said gently, "Ji-eun, take Ji-yeon to the hotel and wait for me. Make a reservation there. I'll come find you as soon as I've finished things here."
"But, Lin Yuan..." Lee Ji-eun's eyes were filled with worry.
She didn't want to leave; she wanted to stay and face things together with Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan acted to help her and Zhenli, so he shouldn't have to suffer this injustice.
"Listen to me, go out first." Lin Yuan gave Li Zhi'en a reassuring look. "Go ahead, trust me, okay?"
Lee Ji-eun bit her lower lip, but finally nodded.
She glanced one last time at Choi Jin-ri, who stood there wary and hostile, gave a self-deprecating laugh, and took Park Ji-yeon's hand as they left the ward.
The moment the door closed, it seemed to sever the friendship they had shared for many years.
With the two gone, only Lin Yuan, Cui Zhenli, and Cui Zi lying on the ground like a dead dog remained in the ward.
Choi Jin-ri stared intently at Lin Yuan, seemingly trying to see a trace of panic on his face, but Lin Yuan remained too calm throughout.
This composure made her inexplicably uneasy, and her confidence slowly faded away with the passage of time.
Lin Yuan took out his phone and skillfully dialed a number:
"Attorney Zhang, bring the chain of evidence regarding Choi Ja's alleged extortion, illegal filming, and illegal drug use to the Gangnam Police Station. And... please arrange bail for me!"
After hanging up the phone, Lin Yuan stood up and looked down at Cui Zi, whose face had turned deathly pale.
"You... what nonsense are you talking about!" Choi Jin-ri screamed, but her voice was already trembling with tears.
Lin Yuan didn't even glance at her, but as he passed Cui Zi, he said in a low voice that only the three of them could hear:
"Mr. Choi, the most you'd get for intentional assault in South Korea is a suspended sentence or a fine, and I have plenty of money. But extortion and drug-related offenses are enough to keep you in jail for most of your life."
Enjoy your last moments of freedom.
After saying that, Lin Yuan strode forward and pushed open the ward door. "Oh, by the way, I won't let you go to jail. I'll make sure your girlfriend watches you slowly disappear!"
After stepping out the door, he spat at the ward door and said, "Pah! One's a poisonous insect, the other's an idiot, two brain-dead moles."
She left behind Choi Jin-ri, who collapsed to the ground, and Choi Ja, whose eyes were filled with despair.
