Chapter 98: If You Like It, You Must Possess It

Hearing the dissatisfaction in Han Jiangxue’s words, the policeman could only offer a sheepish smile.
“However, Mr. Su’s decision to perform surgery in the middle of the street was somewhat reckless.”
“We checked the citizen records and found that Mr. Su does not hold a surgical license. If the barbecue stall owner suffers any complications, I’m afraid...”
The policeman did not finish his sentence, but Han Jiangxue understood his implication perfectly.
If something happens to the owner, Su Chen will not be able to escape responsibility!
Han Jiangxue’s brows shot up, and she spoke loudly to the officer: “I recorded everything at the scene, and you saw it yourselves! The owner was on the verge of death!”
“Su Chen had no choice but to operate. If he hadn’t performed the surgery, the owner would never have survived until the ambulance arrived!”
“You witnessed his condition before and after the operation. He was saving a life—how can you ask Su Chen to bear responsibility?”
“When did saving lives become a matter of whether someone’s qualified or not?”
Han Jiangxue questioned the police, her voice rising with each word.
The policeman was left speechless by Han Jiangxue’s barrage, his expression growing more and more ashamed.
“We understand… but… if the owner experiences complications, legally speaking, we can’t rule out that it was caused by Mr. Su’s surgery.”
“Of course, we’re speaking of the worst-case scenario. If the owner is fine, Mr. Su will have no issues at all.”
The officer tried to reassure them with a strained smile, but it was clear to anyone that it was forced.
Han Jiangxue was still unsettled after hearing this. She immediately took out her phone and called Xiao Jia.
Beep… beep…
“Hello, Miss.”
It was three or four in the morning, but Xiao Jia picked up in less than three seconds.
Han Jiangxue could not detect a trace of sleepiness in Xiao Jia’s voice.
Her heart was filled with worry and anger; she said, “Xiao Jia, have the company’s legal team prepare themselves. There might be a lawsuit here.”
“Understood, Miss. May I ask what kind of case it is? Should we prepare for compensation, or will the other party be facing jail time?”
Xiao Jia’s calm voice over the phone made Han Jiangxue feel immensely reassured.
Since Su Chen was close to Han Jiangxue, he also heard Xiao Jia’s words.
He quickly stopped Han Jiangxue from speaking further, signaling her to hang up.

Han Jiangxue didn’t quite understand, but she could only say to Xiao Jia, “I’ll tell you the details later. I’m still busy right now.”
“Very well, Miss. The legal team and I are on standby twenty-four hours a day. If you need anything, just let me know.”
“Alright.”
Han Jiangxue hung up and looked at Su Chen in confusion. “What’s wrong? Don’t worry, I won’t let anything happen to you. My mother’s lawyers are very capable!”
Su Chen smiled and waved his hand. “It’s fine, really. I expected this before I decided to operate.”
“The law is the law, and human sentiment is human sentiment; they cannot be confused. The owner was hurt because of me, so if anything happens to him, it’s only right that I bear responsibility.”
Han Jiangxue frowned. “But…”
“No buts. You don’t need to worry. Besides, the owner will be fine—I trust my medical skills.” Su Chen said.
Looking at Su Chen’s confident demeanor, Han Jiangxue finally smiled.
“Alright, whatever happens, I’ll stand with you.”
Han Jiangxue blushed, but she did not shrink back this time. Her eyes earnestly met Su Chen’s.
Their gazes locked, and Su Chen did not retreat either…
Unfortunately, the policeman sitting opposite them wasn’t about to retreat, either.
The officer spoke to Su Chen, “Thank you very much for your understanding, Mr. Su. We are contacting the hospital now, and once the owner’s safety is confirmed, we’ll send you home immediately.”
“So, for now, we have to trouble you to wait a little longer at the station. If you’re tired, you could rest your head for a bit. If not, we have free snacks and drinks. If you’d like coffee, I can make some for you.”
He spoke warmly to both, completely oblivious to Han Jiangxue’s resentful gaze.
“It’s alright, just plain water is fine. Thank you,” Su Chen replied.
“Very well, Mr. Su. Please wait a moment; I’ll get it for you.”
With that, only Su Chen and Han Jiangxue remained in the room.
As they sat there, the atmosphere once again became awkward. Su Chen suddenly realized that his relationship with Han Jiangxue had already surpassed ordinary friendship.
If they continued interacting as before, something always felt off. He wanted to move forward, but wasn’t quite ready; to step back, he found himself hopelessly drawn to her…
Su Chen took a deep breath, determined to make a choice.

So what if her family is wealthy? Why hesitate?
If you like her, take the initiative!
After all, I am a transmigrator!
Su Chen grabbed Han Jiangxue’s hand. But just then, his phone in his pocket began to vibrate.
Su Chen: “……”
Ever since he became known, Su Chen had enabled call blocking for strangers. If the caller wasn’t in his contacts, the call wouldn’t go through.
So, the only people who could call him now were those he knew, and at this hour, it could only mean something urgent.
Holding Han Jiangxue’s hand, and under her expectant yet shy gaze, he slowly took out his phone and answered.
Han Jiangxue: ???
Su Chen gave Han Jiangxue an apologetic smile, then spoke irritably into the phone, “Hello, what is it?”
The tabloid reporter on the other end didn’t notice Su Chen’s change in mood. “Chen Bro! Big trouble!”
Su Chen frowned. “What do you mean, big trouble?”
The reporter explained, “There’s suddenly a trending topic on TikTok—saying you got into a fight for a girl, injured four people, and were taken away by the police!”
“They even have video—the guy in it looks just like you! This must be Star Entertainment trying to frame you!”
“So, Chen Bro, where are you now? You’d better clarify things quickly, or this will have a huge impact!”
Hearing this, Su Chen was stunned for a moment. “I’m at the police station right now.”
Reporter: ???
“Damn, Chen Bro, you really got arrested?!” the reporter cried.
The piercing sound nearly deafened Su Chen.
He quickly moved the phone away from his ear, and only after the other side had calmed down did he return it and say, “I wasn’t arrested! I was called in to give a statement!”
