THE WITNESS {YIZHAN} (COMPLETED ✅✅)

27 SIDE CASE

Yibo brought Zhan to a small restaurant at the roadside to have their lunch first. They took a seat at one table inside the fast food restaurant. A waitress came to get their order. She wrote the orders that mentioned by the men.

"I'll get your order, Sir!" The waitress who in her 30s smiled at them.

Zhan smiled and nodded at her. The waitress walked away to the counter to give the customer's order. While she was waiting for the order was.prepared, she went to the other table to take the customer's orders. But before he reaches the table, a man walked fast from the door and approaching her. The waitress gasped when suddenly the man grabbed and grasped on her wrist really hard. She wriggled her hand in the man's grip. He face shown that she was in pain.

Yibo who saw it gets up from his seat, but Zhan stopped him.

"We'll see first what happens...." Said Zhan, holding Yibo's hand.

Yibo glanced at Zhan, and taking a seat again. They watched the man was harassing the woman. They couldn't hear clearly what they're fighting about, but they saw the woman took her purse from her uniform's pocket and gives it to the man who snatches it roughly from her. He opened the purse and took all the bills inside it. And with a glare, he threw the purse to the woman's face then he walked oit of the restaurant.

The woman saw him off with teary eyes. She crouched down to pick her purse up that she failed to catch when the man throws it to her face. She took a deep breath and tried to manage her facial expression as if there is nothing happen and approaching the next table for her to serve.

"Why does she never fight the man?" Asked Yibo. "If I were her, I surely shoot him on the head already for treating me like that....!" He added.

Zhan glanced at him, then he heaved a sigh.

"There must be a reason behind her silence...." He muttered.

Yibo looked at Zhan who tidying up the napkin on the table.

"Why didn't we ask what's the problem between them just now?" Asked Yibo.

"With that man with her?" Zhan looked at Yibo and raised one of his brows.

"So we can hear from both side!" Replied Yibo.

Zhan smiled at Yibo.

"We don't know who is the man to her. And he can harassing her in public like this, of course it's not impossible he often do it when they're alone. And if he sees there are people who side her, he might harms her when she's alone. We can't take that risk on the name of justice. Maybe we call it justice. Who knows if it will turn her life into hellish more?" Explained Zhan.

Yibo looked at Zhan with a scowling face.

"I can't understand you....!" He grumbled.

"As a police, you have to understand it. I live in this kind of life my whole life...!" Said Zhan. "I mean.... Around me. Not in my family...!" Zhan quickly speaks again when he saw Yibo scowls deeper.

Yibo was about to speak, but he's halted when the waitress came again sending them their orders.

"Your meal, Sir....!" Said the waitress.

"Thanks!" Zhan smiled at her. Then his eyes dropped on the waitress' wrist that turns blue black.

"Is that hurt?" Asked Zhan.

The waitress seemed confused. She glanced at Zhan who staring at her wrist. She quickly pulled her hand back after placing the dish and rubbed ot woth the other hand.

"Awh! It-it's nothing!" Cried the waitress.

"Who's that man? Why did you let him harassing you?" Asked Yibo.
