Deng Jingjing was huddled under her blanket, looking at Su Xuan, who was in a police uniform. She seemed frightened and anxious, muttering to herself. She insisted on having Zhang Zehao come over.

Su Xuan, seeing her like this, understood why his colleague had made those comments earlier.

For Deng Jingjing, Zhang Zehao was like a support beam in her life, especially after the blood draw left her feeling weak. Her body’s instincts guided her to seek comfort from him.

“Deng Jingjing, hi there,” Su Xuan said as he approached and sat in a nearby chair, realizing the situation at hand. “I’m Su Xuan, a police officer from the Jiangcheng Police Station. We need your help with an investigation. If you don’t mind, I’ll take your statement.”

Deng Jingjing was only scared because Zhang Zehao wasn’t there, but with Su Xuan dressed in a police uniform and acting professionally, she had no reason to refuse.

“Okay,” Deng Jingjing nodded, though she still had some questions. “Didn’t another officer come earlier to take my statement? Why do I have to do it again? Are you really a police officer?”

Despite her fear, Deng Jingjing remained cautious.

Su Xuan couldn’t help but chuckle as he pulled out his police ID from his pocket. “Regarding the previous statement, there are a few things we’d like to ask you,” he said, showing his ID.

“So, I’ve taken over.” Su Xuan continued, “Ms. Deng Jingjing, could you please tell me about your relationship with Zhang Zehao?”

Deng Jingjing, who had been surprised by Su Xuan’s sudden appearance, immediately started to struggle upon hearing Zhang Zehao’s name.

“Zehao is my boyfriend,” she said. “Officer, the officer who came earlier said something happened to Zehao. What happened to him? Zehao has been with me for so many years, and he’s never done anything wrong. He couldn’t have committed a crime. He’s a good person!”

Deng Jingjing spoke passionately about Zhang Zehao even before Su Xuan had a chance to say anything. It was evident that in her heart, Zhang Zehao was genuinely a good person, maybe even too good to be true.

“Let’s not focus on that issue for now,” Su Xuan said, redirecting the conversation. “Deng Jingjing, I want to know how many times you’ve donated blood in the past few years. Do you have any blood donation certificates? And who told you that you could donate blood at that place?”

Su Xuan could see that if he didn’t interrupt her, Deng Jingjing might talk for a very long time. When he asked his questions, Deng Jingjing hesitated for a moment before responding, “Zehao told me…”

“Zehao said that they needed blood over there, so he asked me to contribute some… No, he asked me to sell some!”

“Officer, I was definitely selling blood. How can you say I was donating it? And I’m sure I didn’t have any blood donation certificates. You can’t fool me!”

Deng Jingjing had only said half of what she wanted when she quickly changed her tune. She remembered that the previous officer who came to take her statement had said that Zehao had been arrested for selling someone else’s blood.

Upon realizing this, Deng Jingjing was genuinely angry. But her anger couldn’t outweigh all those years she had spent with Zhang Zehao by her side.

When it dawned on her, Deng Jingjing firmly denied that she was selling her blood. She heard herself repeatedly referring to Zhang Zehao as “Zehao.”

Su Xuan, listening to her speak, already had an idea of why she was doing this. He could see it coming.

Now, hearing Deng Jingjing’s words, Su Xuan wasn’t surprised. He felt that Deng Jingjing speaking this way was the right course of action.

“If that’s the case, do you have any evidence of your blood sales?” Su Xuan asked.

Deng Jingjing was taken aback. After all these years, she had believed she was donating blood, so of course, she didn’t have any evidence.

But faced with Su Xuan’s skepticism, Deng Jingjing immediately shook her head. “I was selling blood just to make ends meet and cover our living expenses. How could I have kept any evidence for so long?”

“Officer, what exactly are you trying to ask? Are you suggesting that my Zehao was illegally selling my blood? He’s my boyfriend, and what he did was my choice!”

Deng Jingjing spoke with a hint of resistance in her tone. Seeing her like this, Su Xuan sighed.

“Deng Jingjing,” he said, “I hope you’re genuinely looking out for your boyfriend and telling the truth about this matter. Maybe you think you’re doing what’s best for him now by defending him, but have you considered…”

“You might be harming him!”

“Today, he may have sold your blood, and you believe it was your choice, so we can’t charge him with a crime. But what if, in the future, he sells someone else’s blood…”

Deng Jingjing blinked in response to Su Xuan’s words, showing no signs of thinking she had done anything wrong. In her eyes, there was nothing wrong with Zhang Zehao selling her blood.

“Officer, don’t worry. I’ll keep him in check,” she said confidently. “Besides, I have plenty of blood, so he can just sell mine. He would never sell someone else’s blood, Zehao is not that kind of person. We’re only doing this because we’re so poor. Zehao is a good person, he would never sell someone else’s blood without their consent.”

As Deng Jingjing spoke, she thought about herself. But in her case, she believed it was an exception.

Looking at Deng Jingjing’s determination, Su Xuan knew he wouldn’t be able to persuade her. In fact, he hadn’t expected her to trust Zhang Zehao so much, especially after he had clearly been selling her blood without her knowledge.

She trusted him so completely, saying that she would accept anything he did as her boyfriend.

“Today he sold your blood, but next time, he might sell someone else’s blood,” Su Xuan said, his voice turning cold. “This time, you’re vouching for him, but can you be sure that the next person he finds will be as willing to help him as you are? What you’re doing now is not helping him, it’s harming him.”

The officer’s stern words reached Deng Jingjing’s ears, causing her to raise her head in confusion. Her gaze met Su Xuan’s cold eyes.

“I’ll give you a piece of advice,” Su Xuan continued. “Before he commits a grave mistake, try to steer him back on the right path. This small mistake now might not have turned into a big one yet, but if he gets caught again in the future, it won’t be as simple.”

Su Xuan’s words lingered in the air, and Deng Jingjing was left contemplating her next steps..
