Chapter 667: Can You Look Outside?

“No, you can’t go . What am I supposed to do if you leave?” Bai Qing’s mother held the chubby policeman’s hand .

The latter was left in frustration when he saw that Bai Qing’s mother refused to let him go . The most troublesome thing a police officer could ever encounter was a family dispute . Usually, they could only use words to resolve such matters, and unless one of them caused severe injuries to the other party, they had no authority to detain anyone .

He could only comfort her again . “It’s okay, lady . You have already made a police report . If anything bad happens again, we will catch the bad guy this time . ”

Once the police officer started to comfort her, Bai Qing’s mother got even sadder . “I will be dead by then, and it would be pointless for you to detain him . ”

The chubby policeman explained in a hurry, “No, I mean, your husband will definitely not harm you again . Otherwise, he will be the first person we will be suspecting . ”

The officer then said to the middle-aged man again, “Be a man and do the right thing . Can you take the initiative and admit your mistake to your wife? Write a letter of guarantee to give your wife peace of mind . ”

The middle-aged man frowned, but in the end, he did what the police officer told him to do . “I’m wrong this time . I shouldn’t have hit you, and I will never do that again . ”

“Now, that’s the right thing to do . It doesn’t matter if you’ve made a mistake, but the most important thing is that you admit it and correct it,” said the chubby policeman while looking at Bai Qing’s mother on the other side . “Lady, do you think it’s okay now?”

The latter hesitated to look at his husband . There was still a lot of fear in her eyes, “I…I don’t know . ”

The chubby policeman almost cried when he heard this . He was still trying to figure out why Bai Qing’s mother was so afraid of her husband . All his efforts to help resolve this family dispute could be all in vain . However, he had been a policeman for a long time, and he had encountered many weirder cases than this . It had all served to help him improve his patience . He gritted his teeth, then comforted her again . “It’s okay . The police station is very nearby . It takes only three to five minutes for us to get there . If he wants to harm you again, call me . My colleague and I will get here immediately . Besides, he’s already admitted his mistake . You should at least give him another chance to make up for it . ”

Finally, the woman’s heart softened . “Then… Then I will give him another chance . ”

The chubby policeman had been waiting for that sentence for a long time . He was so excited that he almost slapped his thigh .

“Married couples should always use words to resolve all the conflicts . Never use violence against each other . Think twice before you do anything . ” The chubby policeman then talked to them for a little longer . After that, he used his walkie-talkie to ask when he could go and deal with the drunken fight . He wiped the sweat off his face and rushed to the barbecue stall with his colleague immediately .

After the police car left, the middle-aged man looked at his wife and said coldly, “Are you happy now?”

The latter was a little scared when he asked the question . Immediately, she hid behind her daughter .

“Let’s go home . ”

The middle-aged man turned around, swiped his card, and opened the door .

From the beginning until the end, he refused to look at Zhang Heng as if he did not exist .

Bai Qing made an apologetic expression to Zhang Heng, and at the same time, said thank you in a low voice . It was not appropriate for her to say anything else at this time . She had to help her mother back to their house .

Zhang Heng looked at the Bai Qing’s family going into the building, and an iron gate separated them . After that, he stayed downstairs for a few seconds and looked around before leaving the place by calling a taxi home .

As soon as Zhang Heng paid the taxi fees via WeChat, he received a message from Bai Qing .

[Are you home yet?]

Zhang Heng replied with a yes .

[I’m so sorry you had to see all of that . ]

A while later, Bai Qing’s sent him another message .

[I think they should be fine . Every family faces different problems . ]

[But I don’t think they have the same problem that my family has, where my father wants to kill my mother . ]

Bai Qing added a bitter smile .

[How are they now?]

Zhang Heng asked after he got out of the taxi .

[It’s still peaceful for the time being, but my mother insists on sleeping on the sofa tonight, alone . She still seems to be a little afraid of my dad . ]

[Make sure to lock the door to your room . ]

[Erm… Why? Think they will fight again tonight? If that is so, the more I can’t lock my door tonight . ]

Bai Qing paused and added .

[Although I’m a little tired of them arguing all the time, this was the first time I witnessed such a huge fight between them . And honestly, I didn’t expect my father to install so many pinhole cameras at home . It is shocking, and this makes me feel a little uncomfortable . He is not the father that I know anymore, especially when he looked at my mother tonight . There was no love in his eyes at all . By the way, thank you for stopping him . ]

[Actually, I didn’t help much . Your mother was the one that called the police . ]

[Ah, don’t talk about it anymore . I still feel ashamed that you were there to witness the whole thing . They are adults, but they were like two kids who just had a fight in a kindergarten . By the way, I’m standing by the window now . Can you look out?]

[Sure . ]

[The moon is very bright tonight, and the shadow on it is visible . Unfortunately, it is said that even the United States had stopped sending people up there . I wonder what it feels like standing on the moon . ]

[You can feel the desolation when you stand on it . It is a grey world, full of undulating craters and bottomless ravines . There is no life, no sound, and weathered rocks are the only interesting thing for you to see there . ]

[Well, I will just close my eyes and imagine it . I think I can imagine the way you describe the moon to me . It’s really amazing . It’s like being on the moon right now . You can consider becoming a novelist in the future . ]

[Sounds like a plan . ]

While chatting with Bai Qing, Zhang Heng opened the door with the key . It was now midnight, and grandpa had already returned to his bedroom . However, he still left the light on in the living room for Zhang Heng .

Zhang Heng got out of his shoes, brushed his teeth, washed his face quickly, and went to his bedroom in slippers .

However, instead of sleeping, he took out another pair of sneakers and sportswear that he bought from under the bed .

He then poured out all the textbooks and workbooks in the schoolbag, replacing them with things he thought could come in handy, especially a pile of unassembled Lego bricks . After that, he waited for a while to confirm that his grandpa had fallen asleep again if he woke him up just now . And finally, he crept into the living room again and opened the door .

Although Zhang Heng did not know what happened to Bai Qing’s parents, he was certain that the previous fight was not the end but just the beginning . A follow-up event would most likely happen later, which was why he asked Bai Qing to lock the door .

Bai Qing was obviously more worried about her parents than herself . So Zhang Heng felt that it was not safe to leave her alone . Besides, he was also curious about how the story would develop .
