“Special a.s.sistant Gu is quite amiable. What are you afraid of?” Jing Yao asked Yan Huan.
A trace of discomfort flashed across Yan Huan’s face, but Gu Yu was speechless.
Liang Xun was also amused by Jing Yao’s words. “It’s not appropriate to use the word ‘amiable’ on Gu Yu, right?”
Jing Yao was stunned. “Huh? But that’s what Special a.s.sistant Gu gives off.”
“…” Gu Yu.
Liang Xun smiled and echoed Jing Yao. “You’re right. He’s usually too mature, so he gives off such a feeling.”
Gu Yu was speechless.
Yan Huan couldn’t help but laugh when she heard their conversation.
Gu Yu’s gaze quickly locked onto her face.
Yan Huan’s smile froze. Her senior brother’s aura was as strong as ever. This was what a lawyer needed. Only then could he convince his client.
Liang Xun saw the admiration on Yan Huan’s face and sized up Gu Yu without saying anything.
The police who contacted them yesterday invited them to a room that looked like a lounge.
Jing Yao heaved a sigh of relief. Before she came, she was afraid that the police would bring her to the interrogation room and stare at her with a scrutinizing gaze. Many people would be afraid of such a situation. It was much better now. She would not feel too much pressure.
There were three police officers present. Two were in charge of asking questions, and one was in charge of recording.
Before they started, the policewoman who made the call smiled gently. “You don’t have to feel any psychological pressure. Just say what you know.”
Jing Yao and Yan Huan nodded in unison.
Actually, Yan Huan had already explained the general situation on Weibo, but there were some details that needed to be confirmed. The policewoman took out the notebook she had prepared and asked the two of them bit by bit according to the thread she had sorted out.
It wasn’t a big problem. Yan Huan and Jing Yao didn’t feel any pressure answering it. They just might not be able to remember it and had to think about it for a while.
Liang Xun and Gu Yu sat at the side, their faces expressionless. However, when the policewoman asked about the details of Jing Yao’s bullying, Liang Xun’s expression became a little terrifying.
Although Jing Yao was still answering the policewoman’s question, she acutely sensed the change in Liang Xun’s emotions. She reached out and placed a hand on Liang Xun’s leg, then patted it comfortingly.
Liang Xun looked at the hand on his leg and was caught between laughter and tears. She did not forget to comfort him at this moment. He should be the one comforting her, right?
Liang Xun thought that he was a fool not to take advantage of her. He reached out and held Jing Yao’s hand, wrapping it in his large palm.
When they left the police station, Jing Yao and the others happened to meet Jing Yuan, who was being detained. Jing Yuan looked haggard and a little dazed.
However, when she saw Jing Yao, she got excited and struggled to pounce on her.
Liang Xun’s expression changed. He quickly took two steps forward and shielded Jing Yao behind him.
The police officers holding Jing Yuan quickly restrained her.
Jing Yuan glared at Jing Yao with bloodshot eyes. “Jing Yao, did you do all this? Did you report it? Ah, is it? Tell me, is it true or not?”
Jing Yao looked at her in confusion. “What are you talking about?”
Jing Yuan’s eyes almost popped out. “You still don’t admit that you’re the best at pretending to be pitiful since you were young. That’s why Brother Chen fell for your trick.”
Jing Yao rolled her eyes. “Can you think through what you’re saying? Who’s the best at pretending to be pitiful? Every time there’s a conflict, you’re aggressive before anyone comes. When anyone comes, you faint. Every time, you faint just at the right time. I admired your skill the most when I was young. When you faint, everyone thinks that I’m wrong.”
Jing Yuan’s face was ashen, and her lips were so pale that they were bloodless. Hearing Jing Yao’s words, she struggled to go forward and hit her.
The police officer who was pressing her down was so angry that he wanted to flare up. He pressed her body forward forcefully.
The policewoman who sent Jing Yao and the others out looked at Jing Yuan, who looked like a lunatic, and sighed. “She just took drugs when she was brought back, and the amount that she took this time is more than the previous few times. She wasn’t awake at that time. She probably hasn’t fully woken up yet.”
Liang Xun narrowed his eyes and asked the policewoman, “How many years will she be sentenced to for school bullying, drug abuse, and spreading rumors to cause public opinion, causing a major negative impact?”
The policewoman thought for a moment and said, “I’m not sure about that. It depends on the judge’s judgment. However, based on past experience, it will be at least three years..”
