Volume 4: Counterattack: Bright Star Road Chapter 255 Do You Believe Me?
"Amusement park?"
Looking at Song Enxi who opened her eyes slightly, Yuan Xudong smiled and said:
"Yes, it was the amusement park. In this case, the injured college student gave safety education to the blind daughter of the single mother according to the rules of the amusement park. The reason was that if the roller coaster broke down or stopped midway due to an accident, it would be difficult for the blind to evacuate, so extra education was provided for safety. It sounds good and considerate of the blind, but the amusement park has posted safety warning signs, and the single mother was also with her blind daughter. However, the staff of the amusement park still followed the rules and gave a separate education to a blind little girl in front of so many people. On the positive side, this is a kind of kindness, but on the negative side, will the little girl be seen as a scene? This will cause psychological trauma. After all, people who have suffered many injuries sometimes feel that kindness is discrimination. They don’t need to be pitied, but want to be treated like normal people. Do you understand what I mean?"
"clear!"
Nodding slightly, Song Enxi looked at Yuan Xudong and said hesitantly:
"But what's wrong with college students working part-time to earn tuition and living expenses? And as for the amusement park, they are just..."
"You still don't understand!"
Before Song Enxi could finish, Yuan Xudong interrupted her and said:
"In this case, the college student who worked part-time was working according to the rules of the amusement park, which was not wrong. The single mother had a conflict with the other party in order to protect her daughter, and accidentally pushed the other party to the ground. She needs to bear certain responsibilities. As for the amusement park, as long as they can prove that if the roller coaster breaks down or stops midway due to an accident, it is not easy for the blind to evacuate. Then the amusement park should bear part of the responsibility. In addition, the incident happened in the amusement park. Even if the injured college student is a temporary worker, the amusement park cannot completely shirk its responsibility. For such a large amusement park, 20 million won is nothing. As a prosecutor, I will personally go over to investigate, and those managers will know what to do. Isn't this a good idea?"
After listening to Yuan Xudong's words, Song Enxi slightly widened her eyes, gently covered her mouth with her left hand and said in surprise:
"Prosecutor Yuan, you...isn't it inappropriate for you to do this? Although the amusement park is not short of money, we can't..."
"Hey, Song Eun-hee, what do you want?"
Seeing that Song Enxi couldn't do this or that, Yuan Xudong rolled his eyes and said:
"Then let this single mother pay the injured college student 20 million won in compensation. If she doesn't have the money, she will go to jail for six months. As for her blind daughter, it would be best if someone takes care of her. If no one does, she can be sent to a welfare institution or left alone at home. What do you think? Are you satisfied with this solution?"
"don't want!"
Looking at the slightly angry Yuan Xudong, Song Enxi lowered his head and whispered:
"This is too pitiful. Let the amusement park pay compensation. I'm sorry, Prosecutor Yuan, I guess I'm really not qualified to be a prosecutor, right?"
"Yeah, no!"
Yuan Xudong rolled his eyes at Song Enxi, and seeing her lowering her head and looking depressed, he smiled and said:
“Although it’s terrible and I asked for trouble, it feels good. I like it very much!”
"ah?"
Hearing Yuan Xudong praising her like this, Song Enxi looked up at him, a blush appeared on her face and she said:
"Thank you, prosecutor. I will work harder!"
"Okay, try harder tomorrow, now I'm off work!"
"No!"
Looking up at Yuan Xudong, Song Enxi pointed at the case information on the desk and said:
"Besides this, I still have to finish these cases before tomorrow. Prosecutor Yuan, you can go back first. It's fine with me!"
"Let's go, let's go!"
Yuan Xudong pulled Song Enxi out of the office and persuaded her:
"Come back to these cases tomorrow morning. Now get off work and go somewhere with me, and then I'll take you home!"
"Prosecutor Yuan..."
Yuan Xudong held her right hand and dragged her out of the office. Song Eun-xi struggled gently twice, but when she saw that Yuan Xudong had no intention of letting go, she let him hold her with a blushing face. She thought that Prosecutor Yuan Xudong just didn't notice and was not trying to take advantage of her on purpose. He was completely different from Hong Zhengzhu who used his power to harass her. At least she didn't reject this kind of intimacy in her heart, and even felt a little happy and expectant. An excellent man like Yuan Xudong was also her ideal boyfriend.
Walking out of the Central District Procuratorate Office Building, Song Enxi looked at Yuan Xudong curiously:
"Prosecutor Yuan, where are we going now?"
"Amusement park!"
"What?"
"Amusement park!"
He hailed a taxi and opened the door for Song Enxi. After she sat down, Yuan Xudong went around to the other side and got into the car. Then he told the driver to drive to the nearby amusement park, the same amusement park where the single mother pushed down the intern college student.
In the car, Yuan Xudong and Song Enxi were sitting in the back seat. He looked at Song Enxi who was close by and took the initiative to bring up the topic:
"Song Eun-hee, have you always lived alone in Seoul?"
“Hmm~~”
Nodding slightly, Song Enxi glanced at him and smiled:
“I originally lived with my parents, but later they immigrated to Singapore, and I lived alone!”
"Singapore?"
Yuan Xudong smiled and said:
"It's a nice place. I heard it's similar to China, with Chinese people everywhere. By the way, why didn't you immigrate to Singapore with your parents?"
"I...I have a reason to stay!"
After a brief pause, Song Enxi added:
"I want to find someone, someone who is very important to me, and I want to see her again!"
"Who is it?"
Yuan Xudong glanced at Song Enxi and said with a smile:
"It's not your boyfriend, is it?"
"Of course not!"
Song Enxi quickly looked at Yuan Xudong and explained:
"She's my sister. She ran away from home for some reason and has never been found. I asked a private detective to help look for her. Someone saw her in Gangnam District, Seoul. I want to find her and bring her home!"
"So that's how it is, do you need my help?"
"No need. I've already asked a private detective for help. He said he has some clues. I believe we'll find it soon!"
"That's great. Just let me know if you need help!"
"Okay, thank you Prosecutor Yuan!"
After saying thank you, Song Enxi looked at Yuan Xudong and changed the subject:
"Prosecutor Yuan, what do you usually do when you end a troublesome case? Do you feel sad or powerless?"
"What's the meaning?"
"You sentenced so many people. How did you handle the pressure ? Aren't there many times when you wanted to sentence them to a more serious crime but couldn't, or wanted to release them but couldn't? Sometimes there were times when you felt helpless. How did you get through it?"
"I just treat it as a job to make money. I will decide the sentence based on the evidence and relevant laws. I won't think too much about other things. After all, it's useless to think too much, right?"
“I see!”
Nodding slightly, as if remembering something, Song Enxi looked up at Yuan Xudong and said:
"By the way, Prosecutor Yuan, Jin Chuyuan, the blind girl, sent you a letter asking you to teach her mother a lesson!"
"What, let me teach her mother a lesson?"
Yuan Xudong said with some amusement:
"Are all young girls nowadays so filial?"
"You're still laughing?"
After rolling his eyes at Yuan Xudong, Song Enxi took out a letter from his shoulder bag:
"Her mother has five previous convictions, but she has a hidden secret. I think you should read this letter!"
"Let me see!"
Yuan Xudong took the letter from Song Enxi and opened it. It read:
"Hello, Prosecutor. My name is Jin Chuyuan. I am blind and my dream is to be a novelist. I went to the amusement park, but my mother quarreled with the park staff because they didn't allow me to ride the roller coaster. I hope the Prosecutor can teach her a lesson and make her remember it. Don't quarrel with others again in the future !"
After Yuan Xudong finished reading, Song Enxi put the letter away again and said:
"I'm afraid she is like this because she has been looked down upon and discriminated against all her life. I'm a single mother and my daughter is blind. When she was a child, we went out together and bumped into a passerby on the road. She apologized, but the other party asked why a blind person was wandering around at night, so she quarreled with him and was fined. She has a criminal record. Another time, when she went to buy a computer, someone next to her said why would she buy a computer if she couldn't see. She was looked down upon, so we quarreled again. There were three similar cases later, including the case at the amusement park. In fact, they were all similar. She quarreled with others because she felt that her daughter was discriminated against."
"It's understandable, but this approach is not advisable. When she quarrels with others, her daughter is the biggest victim, because the mother knows that her daughter is not a normal person, so she quarrels with others. In fact, if you really encounter someone who discriminates against the blind, you don't need to pay any attention to him. No matter how much you quarrel with him, he will not change his mind. In other words, for those who don't like or care about us, there is no need for us to care about their thoughts, just ignore them!"
After that, before Song Enxi could speak, Yuan Xudong added:
"Of course, there is a Chinese saying that goes 'It's easier to talk than to feel the pain in your waist'. I can't imagine what kind of mentality a real blind person would have, and what kind of mentality her mother would have. I can't understand that kind of pain, and I think it must be very difficult!"
After saying that, seeing Song Enxi looking at him quietly, with a pair of bright eyes, Yuan Xudong said a little stiffly:
"What...what's wrong, why are you looking at me like that?"
Hearing Yuan Xudong's voice, Song Enxi came back to her senses, her face flushed slightly, a slight smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, revealing two small and cute dimples, and said:
"Prosecutor Yuan, you are really gentle!"
"I am... gentle?"
“Hmm~~”
Nodding slightly, Song Enxi looked at Yuan Xudong and smiled:
"I thought being a prosecutor was a very serious profession, sacred, cold and ruthless, until I met Prosecutor Yuan. It turns out that prosecutors can also be gentle and kind. Thank you, Prosecutor Yuan!"
"What is this, a nice guy card?"
Yuan Xudong looked at Song Enxi and said half-jokingly and half-seriously:
"Song Eun-hee, I'll tell you the truth. I'm a bad person. I became a prosecutor just to get ahead. In the Republic of Korea, aren't prosecutors known as the kings of criminal investigation? If you just believe that I'm a good person, don't cry to me in the future!"
Hearing Yuan Xudong say this, Song Enxi blinked her big eyes and asked in confusion:
"Why am I crying?"
"because……"
Seeing Song Enxi staring at him intently, Yuan Xudong leaned close to her ear and whispered with a smile:
"Because...I will bully you!"
“Ah~~”
With a cry of surprise, Song Enxi quickly covered her mouth with both hands, her face flushed as she said:
"Prosecutor Yuan, what...what are you talking about?"
"Nothing, I was just kidding you. You are right. I am a kind-hearted and gentle person. Don't worry, I will definitely not bully you!"
Hearing Yuan Xudong say this, Song Enxi couldn't help but roll her eyes at him and whispered:
"Smooth talk!"
About thirty minutes later, they arrived at their destination. Yuan Xudong and Song Enxi got off the car and began to enter the amusement park. They found the manager and staff of the amusement park and asked to personally experience the escape passage of the roller coaster. In front of Wu Shangzhe, the attorney hired by the amusement park, Yuan Xudong looked at everyone and said hello:
"I'm sorry to bother you so late at night. I want to ask you, if the roller coaster stops on the track, is it really difficult for a blind person to escape if they are accompanied by a guardian?"
"Because it is considered more difficult for him to escape than ordinary people, we have fully persuaded Jin Chuyuan in accordance with the internal safety management regulations!"
Wu Shangzhe, the amusement park's attorney, replied.
"That means it's not easy for blind people to escape, and they need additional safety education, right?"
"Yes, that's right!"
“Have you ever tried it?”
"Because I think it's an analogy within common sense, there's no need to try!"
"How can we not try? Practice is the only criterion for testing truth, isn't it?"
Yuan Xudong smiled and said:
"I'll go up and cover my eyes and try to escape. Only by knowing how dangerous it is can we know whether the safety education given in front of so many tourists is really appropriate. What do you think?"
Hearing Yuan Xudong's words, Wu Shangzhe, the attorney representing the amusement park, frowned slightly and said:
"Prosecutor Yuan, is this necessary?"
"Of course it's necessary!"
Yuan Xudong glanced at Wu Shangzhe, as well as the amusement park manager and staff standing behind him, and said calmly:
"Providing separate education for people with disabilities in public places will make people feel that they are being treated differently. The relevant safety regulations of your amusement park are not strict and lack humanity and social responsibility. Although the college student was only a part-time worker, the accident happened in your amusement park. Doesn't it count as a work-related injury?"
After looking at Yuan Xudong, Wu Shangzhe thought for a moment and said:
"We need to discuss this!"
"Okay, you better hurry up, I want to go back to bed!"
When Wu Shangzhe and the manager of the amusement park went aside to discuss, Song Enxi looked at Yuan Xudong with some surprise and said:
"Prosecutor Yuan, are you...going to get off the roller coaster track?"
"Wrong, it's not just me, it's you too!"
"Why should I come along?"
"I have to be blindfolded, so of course someone needs to protect me. I will play the daughter Jin Chuyuan, and you will play the single mother Gao Yangzi. Any questions?"
Before Song Enxi could speak, Wu Shangzhe and the amusement park manager came over after discussing it. Wu Shangzhe looked at Yuan Xudong and said calmly:
"Prosecutor Yuan, I fully understand your dedication, but this is a situation where a woman was evacuated with her blind daughter according to safety management regulations. Although they were also blindfolded, it cannot be compared with the situation where a healthy man was evacuated. I hope you can understand!"
"Standing on the track, men, women, young and old should be the same. Does that mean men are definitely better than women?"
"We think this is not a reasonable reenactment and we cannot accept it!"
"I think you got one thing wrong!"
Looking at Wu Shangzhe's expressionless face, Yuan Xudong walked up to him and said calmly:
"Whether you can accept it or not, I think it's OK. If you are dissatisfied with anything, you are welcome to file a complaint with the Central District Prosecutors' Office or the Supreme Prosecutors' Office. I am Yuan Xudong, a prosecutor in the Criminal Division 2 of the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office. Is there anything else you don't understand?"
Without waiting for Wu Shangzhe to speak, seeing that he and Yuan Xudong were in a stalemate, Song Enxi on the side took the initiative to speak:
“Let me do it!”
Hearing that Song Enxi was going to replace Yuan Xudong and cover her eyes to escape on the track, Wu Shangzhe slightly widened his eyes and said in shock:
"Enxi, aren't you afraid of heights and can't go up to high places?"
After taking a look at Song Enxi and Wu Shangzhe, Yuan Xudong said with some surprise:
"You two know each other?"
“Hmm~~”
Nodding slightly, Song Enxi looked at Yuan Xudong and said with a smile:
"Prosecutor Yuan, he was my senior in school, so... I can just ride this roller coaster, right?"
He glanced at Wu Shangzhe and saw that he was looking at Song Enxi with a worried look on his face and wanted to say something. Before he could say anything, Yuan Xudong directly pulled Song Enxi towards the roller coaster and said with a smile:
"Song Eun-hee, do you believe me?"
"Well, I believe you!"
