In the police station, Qiao Nian was sitting calmly in her seat and sending Su Huaiyuan a message to inform him that she had beaten someone up, and to ask if he could make a trip to the police station to get her.
After sending the message, she casually placed her cell phone on the table without seeing the messages from Nie Mi and Yuan Yongqin. She looked up and calmly said to the officer before her, “Alright, I’m done messaging. Ask away.”
Given her attitude, she sounded more like a big boss than a culprit who had just been arrested!
The officer was speechless.
This was a pretty sticky situation, and nobody wanted to get dragged into this. He had just been assigned to this post and unfortunately had to deal with such a case. Based on the rules, he was in charge of taking her statement. But before he came in, Officer Cai had given him a signal to hint that he should aim to keep things simple by watering things down in his statement, so as not to blow things up…
He knew what Officer Cai was getting at.
After a short moment’s daze, he took his pen out and coughed a couple of times to mask his nervousness. He then started. “Name?”
“Isn’t it written on the case report?” Qiao Nian’s eyes were wild. The way she leaned back in her seat made her look calm and arrogant at the same time. It was as if the situation was so bad she wouldn’t mind making it worse.
“…”
The officer’s lips twitched. When he came in, he had given her a form to fill out. She had cooperatively written her name and contact number on it. He could see it right on the document.
Qiao Nian.
Black ink on white paper, she wrote it with much style.
He was just going through the motions as officers usually did.
“This is part of the procedure, please cooperate.”
Fortunately, Qiao Nian did not make things difficult for him. She leaned back in her seat and looked up playfully. Her eyes were dark and deep as she responded, “Qiao Nian.”
“Age?”
“18.”
“You’re still studying?”
The officer heaved a sigh of relief and then quickly followed up with the question, “Why did you beat him up?”
By the time they got to the scene, Wei Qi was already badly beaten up. He was lying on the ground like a dead person. If it wasn’t for the occasional heaving, they’d really have thought that he was dead.
Meanwhile, Qiao Nian, who had just beaten him up, was standing beside him with no intention of fleeing the scene. She was so composed, it seemed like she was waiting for them to get her.
It was… incredibly prideful!
Qiao Nian’s eyes were deep as if they held secrets buried by waves of the ocean. She narrowed her eyes and leaned back, her arms by her side. She was rather expressionless as she said, “There isn’t really a ‘why’ to that. I just don’t like seeing the innocent get framed and the guilty culprit getting away scot-free. I just decided to let him lay in the hospital for a few days.”
The officer was speechless, and his hand stopped moving. Ink seeped into the paper from the touch of the pen, but he didn’t write anything. He looked at her with a strange, almost exasperated expression, and told her, “Well… Student Qiao Nian, let’s not be so honest!”
Qiao Nian knew what he was talking about, but she really wasn’t bothered by the fact that she had just beaten Wei Qi up. She looked at him and smiled meaningfully. “Ah. Apologies, I’m just used to being honest. You can just write that down.”
Wasn’t Wei Qi a big bully who loved abusing his power?
This was precisely why she wanted to beat him up. She wanted to know what the Wei Family could do to her, now that she’d made her move.
…
Meanwhile, Cai Gang was thinking hard about how he could contain the situation. Right then, he heard the officer enter and say to him, “Deputy Director, Director Wei’s car is parked outside. I think he’s here.”
