Jian Ai covered her mouth and hid in the corner. She even deliberately lowered her voice, revealing a cowardly temperament.
“The police station?” When Ji Haoyu heard this, he instantly perked up and his tone returned to normal. “What happened?”
Jian Ai said truthfully, “I fought with someone. The police asked me to inform my parents. I don’t want my mother to worry. Moreover, Bai Zhou isn’t a Chinese citizen. I’m afraid that he’ll be in trouble if he comes. If it’s convenient for you, come and save me!”
“Which police station?” Ji Haoyu quickly asked.
“Xiangyang Road Police Station!”
After hanging up, Jian Ai slowly heaved a sigh of relief. Perhaps it was a psychological effect, but when she thought of Ji Haoyu coming over to help, she felt much more at ease.
Although she did not dare to say that she completely understood what kind of person Ji Haoyu was, after interacting with him for so long, Jian Ai could at least tell that although he usually looked frivolous, he was still quite reliable with serious matters.
As soon as Jian Ai hung up, the door of the interrogation room opened again. Qiao Yuan rushed to the police station in a black woolen coat.
“Uncle Qiao!”
When she saw Qiao Yuan, Wang Zimeng immediately rushed up and plunged into his arms.
Qiao Yuan also hugged Wang Zimeng. His expression was not good. He patted Wang Zimeng’s back gently and comforted her softly. “It’s fine. Uncle Qiao is here.”
Wang Zimeng was already afraid. She had never been to the police station and had been nervous from the beginning. Now that she saw Qiao Yuan, Wang Zimeng’s tense nerves relaxed, and she immediately cried.
Wang Zichen sat on the chair and looked at Qiao Yuan. At this moment, he was finally certain that he did not know the Uncle Qiao his sister was talking about.
The two of them were biological siblings, so the people they knew should be the same. After all, it had only been half a year since their parents divorced.
“Hello, Sir!”
At this moment, Wang Li stood up and walked to Qiao Yuan to greet him.
Seeing this, Qiao Yuan nodded gently. “Hello, Officer. I’m Wang Zimeng, Wang Zichen, and Jian Ai’s parent.”
Qiao Yuan spoke of the three of them. Since he was here, he naturally had to take the three of them away.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Wang Zimeng slowly raised her head. The redness on her face fell into Qiao Yuan’s eyes, causing his expression to turn cold.
Even though the swelling on Wang Zimeng’s face had mostly subsided after the ice treatment, it was still obvious that she had been beaten up.
“Who hit you?”
Qiao Yuan’s eyes flickered with sparks. Although his tone was low, it carried anger that could not be ignored. This was already the state he had tried his best to control.
When Wang Zimeng heard this, she raised her hand and gently touched her face. Feeling Uncle Qiao’s concern for her, Wang Zimeng tried her best to smile. “Uncle Qiao, I’m fine. It doesn’t hurt anymore.”
Seeing this, Wang Li quickly said, “Mr. Qiao, right? I think we should sit down and slowly discuss this.”
Qiao Yuan was a very rational person and knew how to manage his emotions. When he saw Wang Zimeng being beaten up, he was indeed very angry. However, he also knew what kind of place this was. He could not make a scene in the police station, furthermore in front of the children. This would not resolve any problem.
At the table in the interrogation room, Qiao Yuan sat down in a chair. A police officer poured him a glass of water, and Wang Li sat opposite him.
“Pardon me for asking, but what’s Mr. Qiao’s relationship with these children?” Wang Li asked.
Years of experience in handling cases had resulted in Wang Li’s sensitive personality. Two of the three children’s surnames were Wang, and the other was Jian. Qiao Yuan’s surname was Qiao, so it was obvious that they were not related.
Qiao Yuan sat upright in his chair and said, hiding nothing, “I’m Wang Zimeng’s mother’s fiancé and her future father.”
Qiao Yuan spoke naturally and freely with no hesitation.
Wang Li was stunned. He did not expect Qiao Yuan to have such an identity.
When Wang Zichen heard Qiao Yuan’s words, he widened his eyes in shock and froze in his seat with his mouth slightly open.
He said that he was his mother’s fiancé?
Was this man thirty years old?
Wang Zichen felt as if lightning had struck him. He had finally gotten rid of Xu Qianqian, but now, he had to face another man!
Wang Zimeng lowered her head silently. She didn’t expect Uncle Qiao to say that. Feeling the aura around her brother, she didn’t dare to face him for a moment and could only be an ostrich.
“In other words, Mr. Qiao, you haven’t married the mother of these two children?” Wang Li asked.
Qiao Yuan frowned slightly but still nodded.
Seeing this, Wang Li smiled apologetically. “I’m sorry, Mr. Qiao. According to the rules, you don’t belong to their legal immediate family or guardians. We need to see the children’s parents or their biological relatives.”
When Qiao Yuan heard this, he was neither anxious nor angry. Instead, he looked at Wang Li calmly and asked, “Why?”
“I want to ask, what happened?”
“Which of the children broke the law and who were the complete victims?”
“Who will face criminal responsibility, and what is the cause and motive of this entire matter?”
“Officer Wang, can you answer me?”
After a series of questions, Qiao Yuan asked the key questions in the case. He needed to find loopholes through Wang Li’s answers.
In the interrogation room, everyone instinctively held their breaths as they listened to Qiao Yuan and Wang Li’s conversation.
Faced with Qiao Yuan’s questions, Wang Li thought for a moment calmly before slowly saying, “There’s only one complete victim in this matter, and that’s Wang Zimeng.”
According to the surveillance cameras at that time, Wang Zimeng was the absolute weakling in this incident and the only complete victim. Although she had slapped Li Yongqiang, the damage that the slap could cause was almost negligible. Moreover, Li Yongqiang had harassed her, so there was a reason for this slap.
When Qiao Yuan heard this, he couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows slightly. He said coldly, “Can I understand that Zimeng is the victim? Other than cooperating with the police to understand the case, you have no right to restrict her personal freedom. The police also have no right to detain her in the police station.”
Wang Li exhaled softly and nodded. “That’s true. She didn’t violate the legal boundary, and she was indeed beaten up. According to the law, Wang Zimeng can file for civil compensation from the perpetrator.”
“What about Wang Zichen?” Qiao Yuan changed the topic and looked at Wang Li sharply. “What crime did Wang Zichen commit again?”
