"Yihong, Sichen, come on, I'll take you to the hospital."

Watching the bailiffs taking away the troublemaker, Bai Xiaowei changed from her previous calmness to an anxious expression.

Chu Sichen waved his hand: "Hey, I've already said that I have thick skin and tough flesh. If I go to the hospital with such a minor injury, the doctor will look down on me."

Yi Hong also said: "Don't worry, Sister Xiaowei, just apply ice to reduce the swelling, it's okay."

To prove that they were fine, both of them smiled at Bai Xiaowei.

But as soon as he smiled, he inhaled with a hissing sound in pain.

Seeing her colleagues defending her like this, Bai Xiaowei's eyes became hot.

Maybe she had misunderstood Yi Hong before?

Bai Xiaowei did not tell Gu Wenrui what happened at the unit.

She might have been unlucky recently and had been in trouble frequently. She was afraid that if she told Gu Wenrui, he would think she was a troublemaker.

Even if he doesn't think so, it will only make him worry.

This is her job. It is not the first time she has been retaliated against, and it will not be the last.

She has never thought about changing her career or working environment, so there is no point in saying more.

......

The next day.

Director Yan walked into Bai Xiaowei's office and said, "Xiaowei, the man who caused trouble yesterday has been identified. His name is Zhang Baocheng, and he is the brother of Zhang Baoxin, the suspect in the intentional injury case that you approved for arrest."

"According to the news from the C District Public Security Bureau, Zhang Baocheng is dissatisfied with your approval of the arrest of his brother, so he wants to teach you a lesson."

"Also, be prepared. Zhang Baoxin's parents are making a scene in Prosecutor Wang's office right now. They say that both of their sons have been ruined by you, and they are threatening to bring your reputation to ruin!"

Prosecutor Wang is the deputy chief prosecutor in charge of criminal investigation at the C District Procuratorate.

Bai Xiaowei sneered: "Okay, make a fuss. The bigger the fuss, the better. Then we'll all be sent in together."

Director Yan sighed, "Xiaowei, don't act on impulse. A family of four is in jail because of you. If this gets out, people will think you are abusing your power for personal gain and seeking revenge. Can you bear the pressure of public opinion then?"

Bai Xiaowei was not afraid at all: "I am upright and never afraid of what others say. Besides, I have reasons and evidence to arrest Zhang Baoxin. I welcome the Commission for Discipline Inspection and higher-level court leaders to investigate at any time!"

"Besides, Zhang Baocheng killed people everywhere here, and there is surveillance to prove it. No one who saw it can say that I was wrong to kick him at that time. What's wrong with convicting him of disrupting the work order of state organs and intentional injury?"

"Director Yan, the times have changed. It's not about who is weaker and who is right, and it's not about who listens to whom. As long as we are upright, I believe they can't stir up any trouble. Even if the public is deceived by the pitiful appearance of some people, I believe that when the truth comes out, the public will stand on our side."

Director Yan shook his head in disapproval: "But, before the truth comes out, whose responsibility is it for you to bear the pressure? Whose responsibility is it for you to be scolded?"

Bai Xiaowei smiled calmly: "In our line of work, we are exposed to the dark side of society. Every day we face all kinds of criminal suspects and endless illegal and criminal methods. Can't stand the pressure? Are you afraid of being scolded?"

She sneered: "...It's better to change careers as soon as possible."

Looking at the stubborn Bai Xiaowei, Director Yan sighed: "You are so stubborn!"

After saying that, he turned around and went out.

After a while, there was a knock on the office door and Yi Hong walked in.

"Sister Xiaowei."

"what happened?"

"Prosecutor Wang asked me to write a letter of apology to Zhang Baocheng and not to pursue his responsibility. I don't know if it's written well. Could you take a look for me?"

When saying this, Yi Hong still had that cheerful and sunny look on his face, but there was a barely perceptible gloom in his eyes.

Bai Xiaowei got angry when she heard this.

She took a deep breath and asked calmly, "Are you willing to forgive Zhang Baocheng?"

Yi Hong smiled helplessly: "Whether you are willing or not, you have to understand. There is no difference."

“How can there be no difference?”

"I'm a newcomer who has just entered the hospital. I have no power or influence. Unlike you, I'm just a temporary worker. If the leader says so, I have to pack up and leave. I have no choice."

Bai Xiaowei snatched the letter of understanding from Yi Hong's hand, tore it into pieces and threw it into the trash can.

"Okay, go back to work. I'll talk to Prosecutor Wang. You don't have to worry about it."

Yi Hong was stunned.

Watching the piece of paper turn into fallen leaves and drift away, the words that he had written against his will despite his nausea were shattered before his eyes in an instant.

"Here, share it with Wenxing. Don't feel burdened. You did nothing wrong. Don't feel wronged. I'll take care of everything."

Bai Xiaowei opened the drawer, took out a big bag of snacks and handed it to Yi Hong.

Yi Hong took it and stared at Bai Xiaowei's fair and tender face, speechless for a moment.

Bai Xiaowei waved at him and walked out of the office: "I'm going to find Prosecutor Wang."

Yi Hong returned to the office and sat in his seat for a long time, staring at the empty desk, not knowing what he was thinking.

Gu Wenxing finished his work and stood up to pour water. When he saw the snacks on Yi Hong's table, he was pleasantly surprised: "Wow, so many snacks!"

Ever since she followed Bai Xiaowei, she has been like a kindergarten kid who would be happy all day long because of a small bag of snacks.

Yi Hong came back to his senses and pushed the bag of snacks to Gu Wenxing: "Sister Xiaowei gave it to us. Let's share it. I don't like snacks, so I'll give it all to you."

Gu Wenxing smiled and took the bag of snacks subconsciously, then said embarrassedly: "I'll just take a small bag, and put the rest in the cabinet. Don't worry, I won't eat alone."

Yi Hong glanced at her, smiled meaningfully, opened the file and began to write the review report.

People were coming and going in the corridor. He was typing a report while listening to the noise outside.

It was not until a long time later that the unique footsteps of Bai Xiaowei were heard approaching from afar, and the door next door was pushed open.

Hearing that she was back, Yi Hong's frown slowly relaxed and he continued to work calmly.

Although he blocked a punch for Bai Xiaowei, he had selfish motives. He wanted Bai Xiaowei to owe him this favor to offset his previous "bad behavior" of not helping her.

To put it another way, even if he didn't block the punch, the bailiff arrived so quickly that Bai Xiaowei wouldn't have been seriously injured.

Prosecutor Wang used his power to force him to write a letter of apology, but he was unwilling to do so, so he had no choice but to push Bai Xiaowei out and let her take the front.

Of course, Bai Xiaowei could choose to ignore the matter and just persuade him to be patient.

But now, Bai Xiaowei did not do so, but went to find Prosecutor Wang instead.

Maybe she was just pretending, and finally said to him helplessly that she had tried her best?

When he got off work, Bai Xiaowei still didn't open his office door.

Yi Hong sneered in his heart. He really guessed it right. She was worried about losing face in front of him, so she couldn't say anything.

He guessed that she must be regretting tearing up his letter of apology, and she couldn't bring herself to ask him to give her a new one.

Hiding the coldness in his eyes, he greeted Gu Wenxing, slowly walked out of the office, and took the elevator downstairs.

The elevator stopped at the third floor and two female comrades came up. When they saw Yi Hong, they first greeted him with a smile, then looked around mysteriously and came up to him and asked, "Your staff is so brave that you don't even give face to Prosecutor Wang?"

Yi Hong: “???”
