Future News: My Phone Mutated Novel - Chapter 88
Chapter 88: Cannot Disappoint A Good Person
Just as Lin Bai finally gained the support of his parents, Zhao Yiming finally woke up in the hospital.
The first thing he saw, other than the doctor in the white coat, was a policeman in plain-clothes with a serious expression.
The medical staff gave him a simple check-up. After making sure that he was alright, the policemen began to take his statement.
Zhao Yiming was like a puppet, half-sitting on the hospital bed, answering questions one after another mechanically.
He did not have any emotions.
He did not lie at all.
When he was asked why he wanted to rob the Toyota, Zhao Yiming suddenly laughed nervously.
“Because I wanted to kill them.”
He said this very softly, without much emotion, as if he was just stating a plain sentence.
However, it made the police officer who took the statement shudder.
“Them? Who are you referring to?”
The police officer who was in charge of taking the statement tried his best to control his emotions and continued to ask questions.
Zhao Yiming still had a nervous smile on his face as he answered word by word:
“Everyone.”
“…”
The police officer who took the statement was still young after all. He endured but in the end, he could not control himself and threw the notebook heavily onto the hospital bed.
“Do you still have any humanity?!”
“You want to hit someone with a car just for a small matter?!”
“Have you ever thought about their parents!? Their wives and children! Their brothers and sisters!!”
“You are a devil!”
Zhao Yiming slowly practiced his smile and asked, enunciating each word, “Then who cares about me? When I was cornered and had no way to seek help, who cared about me?”
The police officer who made the statement was at a loss for words.
Regarding Zhao Yiming, during the time he was unconscious, the police had already investigated him thoroughly.
His experiences were indeed regrettable.
“No matter what you’ve experienced, it’s not a reason to hurt others.”
After a long while, the police officer who made the statement said stiffly.
Zhao Yiming chuckled mockingly and said to himself, “You should already know about it, right? The things about me and my illness. I originally wanted to drag a few people down with me before I died.”
“The carjacking was a spur-of-the-moment idea, but even without that car, I still carried a knife and could still kill people. I deliberately wanted to hurt the innocent, to take revenge on society. So what?”
“This society is so bad. Good people don’t get their revenge, but bad people can live happily. Why can’t I take revenge? Why? Do I have to admit that I’m unlucky?”
The policeman who was in charge of taking notes noted down his words with a dark face. Because he used too much force, the tip of the pen almost tore the paper.
“If you feel that society is unfair, you can use legitimate means to protect your rights and interests, not this way!”
Zhao Yiming tilted his head to the other side and looked at the pale wall beside the bed. His tone was light and airy.
“Don’t tell me this. I’ve already told you everything I need to tell you. Give me a sentence.”
“You think that I should be able to be sentenced to death, right?”
“Pretty good. I heard that it’s all injections now. I don’t have to get shot anymore, and I don’t feel any pain. It’s much better than being killed by cancer cells bit by bit.”
After pausing for a moment, he confirmed with the police officer who took the statement in a light and expectant tone, “It’s definitely a death sentence, right?”
The police officer who took the statement did not answer him. He just wrote down every word he said with a sullen face, slammed the door, and went out to report to his superior.
Zhao Yiming’s case was personally investigated by the leader of the Provincial Public Security Department, so the information was reported layer by layer. In the end, the report was sent directly to the office desk of the chief of the Provincial Public Security Department.
After the chief read the document, he personally called Old Master Ye and explained the whole story in detail.
He also carefully asked for Old Master Ye’s opinion.
On the phone, Ye Weijun was silent for a moment and said, “Let’s follow the normal procedure. You may deal with Zhao Yiming as we should. I won’t interfere. It’s just that Lin Bai can’t be wronged for nothing.”
“If Lin Bai hadn’t restrained him and really let him steal the car, you should know what would have happened in the downtown area and during the evening rush hour.”
“Lin Bai’s actions were not as simple as being a hero. He saved countless lives and countless families! He also saved the reputation of the entire public security system in s province!”
“He even saved Director Chen! But what did he get? He was charged for affray. He was detained for an entire night and all he got was a few words of apology.”
At this point, Ye Weijun stopped talking because he had already understood what he wanted to say. The rest was up to Director Chen to decide.
Director Chen also knew that Old Master Ye was right.
If Zhao Yiming was really allowed to drive a car in the downtown area and cause a serious incident, he would have no hope of promotion from then on even if he was lucky enough not to lose his title.
Therefore, Lin Bai’s courageous act not only saved the lives of the passersby but also indirectly saved his official career.
“Don’t worry, Old Master Ye. I will handle this matter properly. I must not let the good people be disappointed.”
Director Chen promised solemnly.
Ye Weijun nodded. After hanging up the phone, he muttered to himself,
“That girl Jinmo really has good taste. Not only did she pick a boyfriend with a good investment brain, he is also brave and kind. He is indeed a rare good child.”
“Moreover, he is willing to risk his life for a stranger that he doesn’t know. He will definitely treat his family and lover well. Jinmo will be happy dating him.”
Ye Weijun mumbled to himself, his smile filled with relief.
Although he hadn’t known Yu Jinmo for long, he truly treated Yu Jinmo as his granddaughter.
He even unconsciously made up for the debt he owed his biological granddaughter, to Yu Jinmo.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have used his connections to help find Yu Jinmo overnight just for a phone call.
“When I have the chance in the future, I must meet that kid, Lin Bai personally.”
Ye Weijun said that he would wait for the future, but in his heart, he couldn’t wait.
If it weren’t for the fact that his body didn’t allow it, he really wanted to fly to S City right now and have a good chat with Lin Bai in person.
Unfortunately, his body was deteriorating year by year. The doctor had long banned him from going out of town.
Ye Weijun sighed regretfully.
“Next time Jinmo comes over, I must make sure she brings Lin Bai with her.”
S City Public Security Bureau.
Director Feng raised the phone and nodded repeatedly, his attitude extremely humble.
“Yes, yes, yes, good, good, good… Chief Chen, don’t worry, I will definitely handle this matter properly!”
“You are right, you must not let good people be disappointed! I will do it right now!”
After hanging up the phone, Chief Feng wiped the non-existent cold sweat from his forehead. He only felt a lingering fear in his heart.
“Who is that Lin Bai?!”
