"Zhao Er?"
I knew it! This shameless gambler, just because I scolded him a bit for haggling earlier, he turned around and bit me back!
"Zhao Er?" I feigned confusion, "Officer, I don't know this person!"
The older officer slammed a photo down on the table. "If you don’t know him, then how come his phone has your number?"
I leaned in to take a look at the photo; it was indeed my number.
Tsk, looks like denying it won’t work.
My years of acting kicked in, and my eyes instantly turned red.
"Officer, I really didn’t organize prostitution; I was just… introducing them to each other. I know I was wrong…"
"What’s wrong with you at such a young age? Why do something like this?"
Tears streamed down my face.
"My sister had an accident last year and is in a vegetative state… she’s my only family, and I can’t just abandon her. But officer, the medical bills are too expensive! I don’t have any skills, so I can only rely on this to make some money to get by…"
The two officers exchanged glances, and the older one softened his tone slightly.
"Being pitiful isn’t an excuse for breaking the law. Sigh… no matter what, your actions are still illegal. According to regulations, we have to detain you for 48 hours."
48 hours?!
My head buzzed.
"No way! Officer, please, you can’t detain me!"
"I warn you not to push your luck! This is already being lenient with you!"
The younger officer stood up to prepare the detention paperwork.
Suddenly, I broke down emotionally and cried out to the older officer.
"Please don’t lock me up! If I don’t go to Wang Jiu Ye’s place tonight to work, if he gets angry… my sister will be done for!"
Hearing "Wang Jiu Ye," the older officer's expression changed noticeably.
He stared at me for a few seconds without saying a word, then stood up and walked out.
About ten minutes later, both police officers returned. The younger officer, who had just threatened to detain me, had completely changed his attitude. He cleared his throat and said, "After verification, your situation is indeed quite special. This time... we'll let it go, but you still have to pay a fine of five hundred. Don't let this happen again! Do you understand?"
I quickly nodded, "Thank you, Officer! I will definitely turn over a new leaf and be a good person from now on!"
After completing the paperwork and paying the fine, I walked out of the police station. In Port City, a word from Wang Jiu Ye carries more weight than legal statutes. People like us will forever struggle in the muck.
I had barely taken a few steps when my phone rang; it was the hospital calling.
"Hello? Is this Lin Xue? Your sister's condition has suddenly worsened; you need to come to the hospital right away!"
I hung up and ran. It was rush hour, and I struggled to hail a taxi, which was stuck in traffic and not moving at all.
"Driver, can you take another route? I have an emergency!"
"Young lady, at this time of day, everywhere is congested."
I glanced at my phone's navigation; the hospital was still two kilometers away. I pulled out some money, handed it to the driver, pushed open the door, and dashed out.
By the time I reached the hospital's neurology ward, I was so out of breath that I couldn't form a complete sentence.
"I... my sister... she..."
Seeing me in such a state, the nurse quickly helped me. She informed me that things had indeed been very critical earlier, but after emergency treatment, my sister's condition had stabilized.
