Transmigrated as Cannon Fodder — I Rise to Female Lead Through Hard Work

"Hey, wait, wait." Yi Roujing quickly walked a few steps to block Zou Xuri and the young policeman leading him, "Officer, where are you taking this suspect?"

"To the hospital," the young policeman replied, frowning slightly. It was the first time someone had interrupted a police officer at work.

"Oh, no need to go to the hospital, I work there." Yi Roujing said, "His injury isn’t serious, I know how to control my strength."

The policeman was momentarily taken aback by her words.

"Which hospital are you from? Let me tell you, I’ll make sure you regret this." Zou Xuri, who had never experienced such treatment since birth, couldn’t believe he was beaten, and by a woman no less. The problem was he lost the fight.

"Oh, Officer, please note this down, he’s threatening me, even here at the police station. I think he’s showing contempt for our fair and just police officers." Yi Roujing said righteously.

"Miss, you claim he hit you, but you don’t have any injuries; instead, he does." the young policeman said.

Yi Roujing looked at the young policeman with confusion. "Officer, I don’t quite understand what you mean, or perhaps you don’t fully know the case."

"It’s Zou Xuri who broke into someone else’s home, verbally abusing women and children. Feeling that’s not enough, he started hitting, but he was unlucky today and ran into me. I took him down in a few moves. It was self-defense; not getting hurt is my ability, and his injuries are his own doing."

"What, you want me to reimburse his medical bills?" Yi Roujing sneered, "I should ask him for compensation for emotional distress; he frightened our kids and the baby in my belly."

"Oh, I forgot to mention, I’m pregnant. He, a grown man, tried to hit a pregnant woman, and when he missed, he aimed to kick my belly. Tell me, isn’t that attempted murder?" Yi Roujing said seriously to the young policeman, "How many years should he get for that?"

The young policeman was extremely surprised by Yi Roujing’s words and looked at her, not seeing any signs of pregnancy.

"I was diagnosed at Huaixi County Hospital, Officer, feel free to investigate." Yi Roujing said truthfully, "Once you find out the truth, please give me justice."

"Wu, Wu, I’m in pain, I’m hurting." Zou Xuri felt sore all over, actually surprised he could still walk normally. Previously, when Yi Roujing hit him, he felt like his bones were shattered. Unexpectedly, there weren’t any fractures, but the pain was real.

Yi Roujing looked at Wu, whom Zou Xuri had called over, raising an eyebrow, "You wouldn’t be using connections, trying to give him special treatment, would you?"

Wu Zhuoyue frowned, his face darkening slightly, "I just want someone to assess this gentleman’s injuries first."

"And then what?" Yi Roujing said with amusement, "Isn’t assessing injuries something the victim should do? Does the perpetrator need it?"

"I’m going to the hospital too. I need the doctor to check if my baby is stable."

"Yes, yes, go to the hospital. I saw it clearly." Xie Chenyan spoke up for Yi Roujing, describing the incident’s details.

"Actually, the term ’trespassing’ doesn’t hold." Wu Zhuoyue said, "The door was opened by you, and you allowed him in. Also, what you said about Zou Xuri hitting you is just your side of the story. He said he was beaten by you."

"So, Mr. Wu, you believe only Zou Xuri’s words, denying the statements from the three of us?" Yi Roujing said calmly.

Wu Zhuoyue was taken aback, thinking for a moment before explaining, "I’ll be honest; I’ve known Zou Xuri since childhood. I know what kind of person he is."

"Don’t try that with me." Yi Roujing interrupted, "Just because you know him, you can cover for him. Well, I also know other police officers, and they know my character very well."

"Where’s Lou Wenjian? I want to see him." Yi Roujing accurately looked towards the tightly closed office of Lou Wenjian, stepping over to open it. There was no one inside, and seeing no teacup on the table, it seemed he wasn’t there, "Gone for a break? Probably busy preparing for the wedding."

Yi Roujing frowned and turned back, seeing Wu Zhuoyue with a somewhat stiff expression, along with other police officers with varying expressions.

Yi Roujing smiled, "That’s right, I know Lou Wenjian very well. His family and I are quite familiar. County Magistrate Lou can attest to what kind of person I am. After all, the Provincial Public Security Bureau personally awarded me a banner for bravery."

As Yi Roujing spoke, she walked up to Wu Zhuoyue, "So I hope Mr. Wu can thoroughly investigate this matter and give us victims a satisfactory answer."

Wu Zhuoyue suddenly remembered, Yi Roujing—no wonder the name sounded familiar. The Provincial Public Security Bureau awarding a banner was known throughout the police station. Unless settled privately, Zou Xuri would suffer.

"I didn’t expect this to be Yi Roujing. Hello, hello, I’ve long heard of you, didn’t expect to meet this way." Wu Zhuoyue immediately changed his expression, greeting her, "We’ll definitely handle this matter properly."

"Take Zou Xuri to the holding cell and interrogate him thoroughly." Once Wu Zhuoyue gave the order, the young policeman hurriedly pushed Zou Xuri towards the holding cell.

Yi Roujing and two others were warmly and courteously seen out of the police station by Wu Zhuoyue.

After stepping outside, Xie Chenyan was still dazed, "Roujing, how can you be so amazing, not only skillful but also knowing such influential people."

"Amazing and beautiful sister." Xie Chentao admired Yi Roujing.

After seeing them out, Wu Zhuoyue walked briskly to the holding cell, opening the door to see Zou Xuri sitting and groaning in pain. His face darkened instantly, "What on earth did you do to provoke such a person? Do you want to be sent to a labor camp?"

"Wu, I was just trying to scare them. I really didn’t do anything. Look at me, wasn’t I the one beaten? You have to help me out." Zou Xuri shouted, "That Yi Roujing, just who could she be, there’s no influential Yi family in our Huaixi County."

"Didn’t you hear her say she knows the Lou County Magistrate’s family?"

"I know them too," Zou Xuri said loudly, "Knowing and having them stick up for her are two different things."

"I’ll investigate, but for now, prepare for the worst. Hopefully, this can be settled privately. Ask your uncle to negotiate with them, and as long as you don’t provoke them again, Yi Roujing probably won’t hold onto this matter." Wu Zhuoyue said.

"Don’t worry, as long as Xie Chenyan still wants to work at the textile factory, this matter will soon be settled." Zou Xuri said dismissively, "Wu, I’m in pain, and I’m hungry."

"Wait here." Wu Zhuoyue said irritably.
