My Soft AI Boyfriend Turned into a Rough Man—and Kisses Me Until I Am Pregnant - Chapter 64
She switched back to her small phone, hailed a taxi, and headed straight for the hospital.
Xu Xiaoguai didn’t feel any heartache over her brother being beaten up. She had no emotional attachment to Xu Xi, who had always bullied her in the past.
She wouldn’t sympathize with Xu Xi either.
She was just puzzled. Wasn’t Xu Xi always so well-behaved at school? Their parents praised him every day, so how did he end up getting beaten up?
Xu Xiaoguai soon arrived at the hospital. As soon as she went upstairs, she saw Xu Xi lying on the hospital bed. She had never seen him look so weak before.
But he didn’t seem seriously injured, so why did he look as if he was about to…
About to be beaten to death?
Xu Xiaoguai swore she wasn’t cursing Xu Xi.
“Mom.”
As soon as Xu Xiaoguai spoke, her mother strode over, grabbed her by the arm, and started pulling her away.
“Mom, what are you doing…”
“The police are talking to your dad right now. Go over there immediately and make sure your brother gets justice! Xiao Xi… Xiao Xi can’t suffer like this for nothing!”
Xu’s mother’s eyes were swollen from crying, and she kept wiping away tears with her hands.
Xu Xiaoguai was taken aback. “Wait… wait a minute, Mom. What exactly happened to Xu Xi? Where is he injured? I haven’t even seen how serious it is.”
When Xu’s mother heard her mention this, her face turned even more ashen, her eyes filled with resentment.
“Those beasts! They… they…”
Xu’s mother broke into loud sobs. “Our Xu family is going to die out!”
At first, Xu Xiaoguai didn’t understand. How could their family suddenly die out? Wasn’t Xu Xi still alive and well?
“Your brother… he probably won’t be able to have children.”
Hearing this, Xu Xiaoguai couldn’t help but feel shocked. She could vaguely guess what those people had done to Xu Xi.
She never expected it to be so brutal…
She was dragged by her mother to where the police were.
“Officer, this is my daughter. Let her talk to you!”
As soon as Xu’s mother finished speaking, Xu’s father angrily added, “Is there no justice in this world? My son was beaten like this, how is he supposed to live the rest of his life? Are you police just going to brush it off with a few words?”
Xu Xiaoguai pressed her lips together. She knew her parents’ temperaments, and the reality might not be exactly as they described.
“Hello, Officer.”
She took a deep breath. “I’m not entirely clear about the situation yet. Could you please explain it to me first?”
The police officer had grown somewhat impatient with the Xu couple, as no matter how he explained it, they seemed unable to comprehend. But seeing Xu Xiaoguai, he felt she would understand, so his tone became much more patient.
“Well, young lady, today we received a report that your brother was assaulted. As you probably know, the situation is quite serious, and we deeply regret it. After receiving the report, we immediately went to check the surveillance footage. However, all the cameras in that area were destroyed, and even the surrounding malls had no power supply. So, we have no way of identifying who did it. Even if we wanted to investigate, it wouldn’t be possible to find out today.”
“That’s pretty much the situation. We’re in a difficult position as well. If we can uncover any leads, we’ll definitely get back to you as soon as possible. But with no surveillance footage, it’s very hard to determine who was responsible.”
Xu Xiaoguai understood his meaning. She first said thank you, “Sorry to trouble you, officer. What should we do about my brother’s situation now? How long will it take to find out?”
The officer paused for a moment. “Without surveillance footage, it’s actually very difficult to determine who did it.”
“We’re also investigating who damaged the surveillance cameras, but the surrounding shopping centers had power outages, so…”
Xu Xiaoguai already understood that it would be very hard to find the people who attacked Xu Xi.
She looked at her parents. “Mom, Dad, the surveillance cameras are broken. The officer means it’s difficult to find out who did it.”
Xu Xiaoguai didn’t really want to explain, because her parents must have understood what the officer said.
They just felt unwilling to accept it. Since they had no way to find the perpetrators, they could only keep pestering the police.
Father Xu raised his hand to slap Xu Xiaoguai, but fortunately, the officer stopped him in time.
“How can you as parents resort to violence? Just because your son is injured, you hit your daughter?”
The officer criticized them sternly. “If you resort to violence again, you’ll have to come with me to the police station.”
Xu Xiaoguai’s heart was still racing. She thought she was about to be hit.
If her father had slapped her, her face would probably have swollen.
Father Xu wanted to say something more, but when he saw the officer’s expression, he held back.
“But! You have to give us some answers!”
“We will do our best to investigate. If we find anything, we will definitely inform you.”
The officer had other work to attend to and left after giving his instructions.
Xu Xiaoguai stood there, not daring to say a word. Her father was furious, and her mother kept crying.
She didn’t know how to resolve the situation.
If even the police couldn’t find the people, there was no way she could find them herself.
She could only think about checking on Xu Xi’s condition.
But before she could walk over, her mother called out to her.
“Our shop is closed. We won’t be able to sell breakfast for a while.”
Xu Xiaoguai immediately stopped. “The shop is closed? Why?”
“The quality inspection bureau came to check our hygiene standards. Since we didn’t meet the requirements, they shut us down.”
Mother Xu sighed. “Now that your brother is hospitalized, we’ll probably have to use the family savings to pay his medical bills. That money was originally meant to buy your brother an apartment.”
When Xu Xiaoguai heard the first part, she was a little worried about the family’s situation.
But when she heard the second part, she wasn’t as concerned.
After all, the money was still for Xu Xi.
So, what did it have to do with her…
Were they going to ask her for money?
Xu Xiaoguai clenched her fists. She had money in her bank account, but that money belonged to Lu Wang. She wouldn’t touch it.
“But we need to pay for medical treatment, no matter what.”
Xu Xiaoguai said softly.
Mother Xu looked up at her. “How much money do you have from your part-time job? Xiao Xi is your own brother, and he’s already suffered so much.”
Xu Xiaoguai bit her lower lip. She knew nothing good would come of this.
“Mom, I can only work part-time in my spare time. It’s already less than a regular employee’s salary. After deducting living expenses, there’s nothing left.”
Father Xu’s eyes were full of disdain.
Just then, Xu Xi’s cries came from the hospital room.
“Mom… Mom!”
Mother Xu immediately stood up and hurried into the room, with Father Xu following closely behind.
Xiaoguai watched her parents’ deep concern for her younger brother, her heart growing even more bitter.
She felt like an outsider.
In the end, Xiaoguai also stepped inside.
Xixi was filled with overwhelming rage, unable to even glance toward his own abdomen. Despair laced his voice as he cried out, “Mom, it hurts so much! Those people acted like they wanted to kill me! What should I do? Am I finished? What did the doctor say?”
