Su Yutan instructed, “Show me the video when Yao Zhijie was beaten up last night.”

The monitoring bracelet on Yao Zhijie"s hand would only start and upload videos when Yao Zhijie mentions Belle, had contact with Belle or unless Yao Zhijie was about to die.

It was normal that this bracelet did not upload the video of last night. But the public monitoring network covering the city"s public areas should capture Yao Zhijie being beaten up.

Best quickly got the video and did a simple audio processing so that she could hear the sound clearly.

At around 11 o"clock last night, Yao Zhijie, who was wrapped in a coat, strode into the park and slept on a bench.

At about 11:45 PM, a few young men pa.s.sed by him while talking loudly and laughing.

Yao Zhijie, who was sleeping on a bench, woke up and scolded the young men, “It"s so deep in the middle of the night, why are you so noisy? You have no education!”

The young people got angry and turned around to question Yao Zhijie, “Who did you say was not educated?”

Yao Zhijie sneered at them, “I say it to you all! Haven"t the adults at your home taught you anything? Don"t disturb someone in the middle of the night.”

“Woah! We played in the park and didn"t make trouble at your doorstep, who"s bothering you? You don"t look like a homeless man with your outfit! Why do you sleep in the park in the middle of the night? Don"t you have a home?”

This was how the conflict arose, and in the end it intensified.

The young men became furious and hit Yao Zhijie.

The entire incident proved that it was Yao Zhijie who deliberately provoked these young people with his words.

Of course, from a legal point of view, it was those young people who hit him first and they are wrong.

Although Yao Zhijie had barely hit them a few times while being beaten, it was a legitimate defense.

After accepting compulsory study for a few days, Yao Zhijie was really “growing up”!

In order to get over this bitterness, he was really willing to pay a high price.

Taking advantage of the time while Yao Zhijie was giving his statement at the police station, Jiang Miaomiao asked the police to help watch Belle and hid in the bathroom to call Su Yutan.

Her voice sounded very depressing, “Miss Su, Yao Zhijie is totally shameless! I don"t know what other moths he will produce, and I"m very upset. Can you keep talking with me and give me some ideas if necessary? I"m not afraid of you seeing my incompetency. Taking into account Belle"s feelings, I really can"t deal with people like Yao Zhijie.”

Su Yutan agreed to her, “OK, I will tell you what to do if necessary.”

Jiang Miaomiao breathed a sigh of relief, “Thank you, Miss Su!” she then walked out of the bathroom with confidence.

After the police recorded Yao Zhijie"s statement, they went to the hospital and got his wounds treated. It was noon by the time they were done.

Belle yanked Jiang Miaomiao"s sleeve and said pitifully, “Mom, I"m hungry.”

Jiang Miaomiao completely adjusted her mood and replied with a smile, “Let"s go for lunch.”

Belle asked carefully, “Can Dad go with us? I haven"t eaten with Mom and Dad for a long time.”

Jiang Miaomiao said indifferently, “Okay, no problem.”

Belle happily held her mother with her left hand and her father with her right hand and they walked into a nearby Chinese restaurant.

After sitting down, Belle rushed to order the food. Jiang Miaomiao didn"t stop her.

Belle ordered a few dishes that she and her mother liked, and pretended to be casual, and ordered some dishes that Yao Zhijie liked.

She thought Jiang Miaomiao would not know.

However, Yao Zhijie said to Belle with a touch of affection. “Belle is so good. You remembered what Dad likes to eat.”

Belle smiled shyly at him, and then looked at her mother"s face secretly. Seeing that Jiang Miaomiao was not angry, she lowered her head and took a sip of tea.

Jiang Miaomiao and Belle did not eat much.

Yao Zhijie seemed to be hungry for a few days and ate a lot.

As he ate, he also sold pity, saying that he hadn"t eaten such delicious meals for many days and also said how desolate he had been these days.

Belle was stunned and distressed.

The money for lunch came from Jiang Miaomiao. Out of the restaurant, Yao Zhijie asked Belle, “Where should we go next?”

Belle looked at the clothes on Yao Zhijie"s body and said to Jiang Miaomiao carefully, “Mom, can we take Dad to buy two clothes to change and wash? What if he scares off others if he walks outside like this?”

Jiang Miaomiao frowned and asked Yao Zhijie, “What about your luggage?”

The rotten ship also had three thousand nails, and she did not believe that Yao Zhijie was really down to this point.

Yao Zhijie bitterly replied, “The night before I fell asleep at the subway station, my luggage was stolen, including the only money I have left. I am now penniless.”

Jiang Miaomiao looked at him suspiciously. She did not believe what he said.

Belle glanced at her father sympathetically and said to Jiang Miaomiao, “Mom, let"s help Dad!”

Yao Zhijie smiled gratefully to Belle, and said to Jiang Miaomiao, “Miaomiao, can you lend me a little money? I"m really out of luck, or I won"t come to see Belle this way.”

Jiang Miaomiao secretly gritted his teeth and asked Yao Zhijie, “How much do you want?”

“I will borrow 10,000 first! I need to rent a house so I don"t have to sleep in subway stations and parks every day. I don"t know if I will freeze to death someday.”

Belle yanked Jiang Miaomiao"s sleeve and pleaded for her father, “Mom, please!”

The expression on Jiang Miaomiao"s face was very tangled.

Su Yutan said to her on the phone, “Lend him the money, but make Belle use her future pocket money as a guarantee.”

A big smile bloomed on Jiang Miaomiao"s face. She said to Yao Zhijie, “You need someone as a guarantee for the loan. Do you understand this rule?”

Yao Zhijie smiled bitterly and said, “It"s just borrowing 10,000 yuan. Would you be so stingy? Besides, who else is willing to be a guarantee for me now? Isn"t that embarra.s.sing me?”

Jiang Miaomiao slightly pushed Belle, who had been pulling her sleeve, forward.

“Maybe Belle is willing to act as a guarantee?”

She lowered her head and asked Belle with a smile, “Belle, Dad wants to borrow money from Mom. Would you like to use your future pocket money to vouch for Dad?”

Then she explained to Belle what a guarantee was.
