Looking at Jian Ai, her face was not red, and her heart was not beating rapidly. It was as if this operation did not waste any of her strength.
The onlookers were secretly shocked. Their gazes lingered on Jian Ai’s slender body. Their gazes were different, but their expressions were surprisingly the same. They were all dumbfounded.
Even Wang Zichen and Wang Zimeng were dumbfounded. Even if they were family, the two of them had never seen Jian Ai like this. Wang Zimeng even forgot to cry.
“Are you alright?”
Only when Jian Ai’s voice sounded did the two of them suddenly come back to their senses.
Wang Zichen’s entire body hurt, but in the face of Jian Ai’s concern, he still forced himself to say, “I’m fine.”
Jian Ai frowned and looked at him. “Tell me if you’re in pain. I’ll send you to the hospital for a checkup to prevent any lingering effects.”
“Cousin, take him to the hospital for a checkup,” Wang Zimeng said worriedly. “He protected me just now and suffered a lot of beatings.”
Wang Zimeng’s eyes were filled with worry and nervousness, but she didn’t care about the injury on her cheek.
Hearing that Wang Zichen was protecting Wang Zimeng just now, Jian Ai raised her eyebrows slightly. Although Wang Zichen was usually very annoying, he was not a complete coward at critical moments. He still knew how to protect his sister.
Jian Ai nodded and was about to say something when an alarm sounded in the distance.
Someone in the crowd had called the police. It was obvious that the police were here.
Jian Ai couldn’t help but sigh. “The police are here.”
At this moment, Bai Zhou and Chi Yang walked forward. Bai Zhou whispered in Jian Ai’s ear, “Boss, the police are here. Let me handle it.”
Jian Ai raised her hand and looked at Bai Zhou. “Don’t trouble others with such a small matter.”
Jian Ai knew that Bai Zhou had many connections up there, but she could handle such fights.
“My uncle didn’t see it, right?” Jian Ai quickly asked with concern.
Bai Zhou shook his head. “He’s on the second floor. He didn’t come down, so he shouldn’t know.”
Jian Ai heaved a sigh of relief. If her uncle saw this, the entire family would know tonight. She did not want her family to worry.
Wang Zichen also probably didn’t want his aunt to know that he and his sister had been beaten up outside.
The police car slowly stopped by the road. When the onlookers saw the police arrive, most of them dispersed. The ones who stayed behind only watched from afar.
There were only three police officers in uniforms. One of them had a different aura and was obviously very experienced. It could be seen that the remaining two were newbies at a glance.
When he saw the few people lying on the ground, the leader, Wang Li, frowned. He swept his sharp gaze around and said, “What’s going on? Who hit them?”
Seeing this, Jian Ai walked forward and said gently, “Uncle Police, I did it.”
“Don’t mess around, girl. Uncle is handling a case.” Wang Li only glanced at Jian Ai and didn’t take her words to heart.
Five boys were lying on the ground, and a few of them were obviously adults. Looking at their injuries and them groaning on the ground, it was obvious that they were injured badly. Therefore, a normal person would think that a group of people had ganged up on them. How could they suspect a girl?
Jian Ai admitted, “Uncle Police, I did it. Everyone saw it. There are surveillance cameras around too.”
Only then did Wang Li look at Jian Ai. The two newbie police officers behind him looked at each other. It was not difficult to tell that they did not believe Jian Ai.
Wang Li looked at the surrounding onlookers who were still standing there and couldn’t help but ask, “Did she hit them?”
Everyone nodded, but one of the girls spoke up for Jian Ai. “The other party attacked first. This girl helped. They, a group of boys, bullied two children.”
As she spoke, she pointed at Wang Zichen and Wang Zimeng.
The two of them were injured badly. Wang Zichen’s body was covered in shoe prints, and Wang Zimeng’s injuries were even more obvious. Her cheek was swollen and red.
However, when he heard this girl had beaten them up like this, Wang Li couldn’t help but secretly take a deep breath. However, there were too many injured people now, so the first thing he had to do was send them to the hospital.
“Stand here and don’t move,” Wang Li said to Jian Ai.
Jian Ai nodded obediently and saw Wang Li turn around and ask for support on the walkie-talkie.
Bai Zhou approached her again. “Boss, are you going to the police station? Do you really not need my help?”
Jian Ai looked at Bai Zhou in amusement. “As legal citizens, of course we have to cooperate with the police investigation. Don’t use the back door for such things.”
When Bai Zhou heard this, he looked at the wailing victims behind him in surprise. Coupled with the words ‘legal citizen’ Jian Ai had just used, he couldn’t help but gulp.
This was too legal!
Chi Yang pursed his lips and chuckled.
Not long after, another police van and two plain-clothed police officers arrived. Everyone stuffed the injured people in one after another. Wang Li walked up to Jian Ai and the rest and said coldly, “Come with us!”
Be it Jian Ai, who hit someone, or Wang Zichen and Wang Zimeng, who were beaten up, the police would take them away for investigation. This was the basic process.
Jian Ai nodded and didn’t resist.
“Go back with Chi Yang first. If I need anything, I’ll contact you,” Jian Ai took the time to inform Bai Zhou.
He initially wanted to accompany Jian Ai to the police station, but when he heard this, Bai Zhou could only agree.
In the police car, Jian Ai was sandwiched between two police officers like a terrorist. She said nothing and looked indifferent.
Wang Li looked at the calm Jian Ai through the rearview mirror and asked faintly, “Young lady, have you practiced martial arts before?”
Jian Ai looked up at the back of Wang Li’s head and said, “Yes, I learned at the martial arts school for half a year.”
“Half a year?” Wang Li was shocked and didn’t believe her. “Don’t lie to me. Even if it’s me, it’s impossible for me to be uninjured after beating up five people like this. Tell me honestly, are there accomplices?”
“Uncle Police, I always thought that only the police on television would always doubt the truth. I didn’t expect it to be the same in reality.” Jian Ai smiled. “There are surveillance cameras. Pull them out and you’ll know what happened.”
Hearing Jian Ai’s confident words, Wang Li couldn’t help but frown. Did she cause this alone?
The police car drove into the Xiangyang Road Police Station in Haicheng District, but only Jian Ai was brought over. The others had suffered varying degrees of injuries and had to receive treatment immediately before they could be interrogated, so they were all sent to the hospital.
On the bench outside the police station, Jian Ai was ordered to sit there. Wang Li looked at the time and said to Jian Ai, “Wait for a while.”
