“She’s at the police station.” Cheng Juan took his coat and walked out the door, looking down at the number on his mobile phone.

  Lu Zhaoying stopped smiling after hearing this and was stunned as well. He shot up straight. “Police station?”


  Lu Zhaoying naturally knew that the “her” that Cheng Juan was talking about was Qin Ran. He put down his chopsticks and got up. “Why is she in there?”


  Cheng Juan didn’t know the situation, so he only motioned for him to get the car key. “I asked Jiang Hui to come.”


  Cheng Mu followed behind them expressionlessly.

  He knew who Jiang Hui was, he was Jiang Dongye’s uncle. He had heard before that Jiang Hui had been assigned to some third-tier city by Old Master Jiang.

  It turned out to be in Yun Cheng.

  But was it really necessary to call him here?

  Such a tiny matter like a fight among high school students actually required Jiang Hui to come here and use a sledgehammer on a nut?

  ***

  A restaurant box in the middle.

  “They’re all at First Middle School, why didn’t they bring Ran Ran along?” Lin Qi smiled. “I heard her mother say that she is very popular in school.”


  Upset, the cup in Qin Yu’s hand touched the edge of the table.

  “Yu’er, your mother said she had matters to attend to, but why is she so late?” Lin Qi heard the sound of the cup and looked over to ask. He waited for a while and didn’t see Ning Qing coming back.

  Qin Yu held her chopsticks, lowered her eyes and bit her lip. “She should be at the police station……”


  “Police station?” Lin Qi froze and subconsciously dropped the menu.

  Lin Wan also looked up.

  “My sister just fought with someone at school and was taken to the police station by the police. I’m afraid that something happened to them……” Qin Yu sighed.

  Lin Qi stood up and frowned. “Nothing will happen. I’ll go……”


  Before he finished speaking and stood up, Lin Jinxuan, who had just come in, got up and wiped his hands with a paper towel. “Dad, you can eat with aunt first. I’ll go to the police station.”


  Lin Jinxuan was also a respectable man in Yun Cheng. His connections weren’t worse than his father’s. Lin Qi hesitated and then nodded. “Okay, then you go and see. Call me if something happens.”


  Qin Yu looked at Lin Jinxuan’s back. She had never seen Lin Jinxuan so concerned before. “Dad, I’m a bit worried about my mother and sister. Let me go with my brother.”


  “Be careful.” Lin Qi thought for a while but did not refuse.

  **

  The police station.

  Hearing Grandma Xu’s words, Ning Qing panicked.

  Once those people were really involved, could she cope with it?

  She asked the officer to take her to see Qin Ran.

  “Her child was injured badly by your daughter. When we arrived, his arms were already soft and his injury appraisal has yet to come out.” Officer Li glanced at Ning Qing. “If they investigate it, she won’t be able to get away with less than two years of jail.”


  Ning Qing opened the door uneasily.

  Qin Ran had one hand on the table and the other supporting her chin. Her eyes were closed.

  When she heard the voice, she opened her eyes slightly. When she saw who it was, she changed her posture anxiously. “Why are you here?”


  She hadn’t told them Ning Qing’s number. She naturally had a way to solve this matter.

  “Qin Ran, why can’t you just study well? The person you hit is Xu Shen. Teacher Xu has taught you well, how could you do this?!” Ning Qing gritted her teeth. If she could turn back time to the beginning of school, even if Qin Hanqiu didn’t want her, she would never have brought Qin Ran back. “Do you know that you’ll have to go to jail if they investigate? Your whole future will be ruined!”


  Qin Ran leaned back and smirked indifferently. Eyes still bloodshot, she still looked cynical and nonchalant. “Oh,” she said simply.

  Ning Qing closed her eyes. “Go and apologize to Grandma Xu and Teacher Xu right away. It’s better if they don’t pursue this matter. If they do……”


  Ning Qing pursed her lips. After this matter had blown over, she would send her abroad. Leaving her in Yun Cheng was a disaster waiting to happen!

  “My face in the Lin family’s house has been lost because of you, Qin Ran.”


  Outside the door, several policemen didn’t dare to take up the matter. Grandma Xu had said that she was looking for the bureau.

  When it came to the Bureau, these civilian policemen simply didn’t dare to mess around.

  They waited honestly one by one.

  Ning Qing came out with Qin Ran and wanted to apologize to Grandma Xu and the teenagers. The main office room wasn’t big and was almost full.

  Ning Qing put down her pride and went to appease Grandma Xu.

  Since coming to Yun Cheng for so long, she had been careful in everything she did, and she had never put down her pride before.

  “What you say is useless now, my grandson is still in the hospital.” Grandma Xu stared fiercely at Qin Ran. “We will definitely pursue this matter to the end!”


  Ning Qing was at her wit’s end. She could only step on her pride and call Lin Qi for help.

  Just before calling, she got a call from Lin Jinxuan.

  At this time, most people in the police station were off work.

  Lin Jinxuan was tall and slender and had a strong aura that stood out among a group of people. At first glance, it was obvious he wasn’t an ordinary person.

  He looked around and saw Qin Ran standing in the crowd. She was leaning against the wall with her lips pursed indifferently.

  Lin Jinxuan paused and then took two steps toward them, stopping beside Ning Qing. “Aunt, what’s going on?”


  Ning Qing opened her mouth, but she was reassured now. She was very clear about her stepson’s ability.

  Lin Jinxuan asked the police some questions.

  “You are all Qin Ran’s family?” Grandma Xu stared sharply at Lin Jinxuan. “Let me tell you, there is no way I will let her go. My grandson’s hand was broken by her and he’s still in the emergency room. She must go to jail!”


  “We have investigated this matter already. They are all students, the impact on them won’t be good……” Lin Jinxuan didn’t know the specific reason and was patient and calm.

  Several other parents who were angry over their injured children also rushed over.

  They all started talking at once after knowing their sons had been injured.

  “She’s so young but so cruel. How did you even teach her? Which parent would dare to let her study and stay in school!”


  “She looks like a vixen, how good of a person could she be!”


  “She must pay for this!”


  They were unwilling to let this matter go.

  Amidst the noisiness, Qin Yu pulled Lin Jinxuan’s clothes from behind and smiled obediently. “Uncles and Aunts, I believe that my sister isn’t such an unreasonable person. She must have some unspoken reason. Brother, Mother, since they’re unwilling to let it go, then let’s publicize this matter.”


  “No way……” Ning Qing immediately retorted.

  Ning Qing had a splitting headache. She knew just how many times Qin Ran had fought. This time, she knew that it must be Qin Ran who had caused trouble first. If this matter was publicized, she would really have to go to jail.

  There were too many people in the police station. Lin Jinxuan glanced at Qin Ran. She had her head lowered and didn’t say a single word to justify herself.

  She was really indifferent. Lin Jinxuan took out his phone and called Feng Ci.

  “Is it wrong to apologize for your wrongdoings?” Ning Qing reached out and dragged Qin Ran. “Didn’t your grandmother teach you?”


  Qin Yu stood behind Ning Qing and pursed her lips.

  The office hall was in chaos. Grandma Xu tried to beat Qin Ran but was stopped by the police. In the mess, a girl who had been squatting in the corner suddenly stood up.

  Qin Ran saw her. “Pan Mingyue! Go back!”


  Pan Mingyue didn’t look at her and calmly said, “There is indeed an unspoken reason. If you want to publicize it, then I will too. May I ask the police officer, what crime is it to beat up and molest an underage girl?”


  After she said this, the parents, Grandma Xu, and even the policemen were all stunned.
