Chapter 223 - Locked In The Interrogation Room
Ruan Yingyu knew what her younger brother was like. Ruan Nian often played with a group of young masters in society and had often used their power to bully others.
However, this time, Ruan Nian called Ruan Yingyu and swore that Xia Yu had attacked first. Even the dean of the school thought that Xia Yu was the culprit. Only then did Ruan Yingyu relax and promise Ruan Nian that she would give him an explanation.
@ Ruan Yingyu: "@ Xia Wanyuan, as a junior, I"ve always been very respectful to you. When we were on the production team, I would even buy tea and desserts for everyone every day. But I really didn"t expect you to treat my younger brother like this!! It was just two children who had a conflict on the court. Why did an adult like you get involved and beat up my younger brother to such a state?!! (Crying) I had a good relations.h.i.+p with my younger brother since we were young. Now that I see Nian Nian lying in the hospital and living a life worse than death, my heart aches!!! You must give me an explanation!"
There were two photos attached to Weibo. One of them was an x-ray photo of the hospital, and one could clearly see the signs of bones breaking. The other was a direct photo of Ruan Nian"s arm. It was especially swollen, and it looked painful.
The Chinese entertainment industry was relatively more restrained. There were very few celebrities who personally went to quarrel like the foreign celebrities. No matter how deep the conflicts were usually, they could still live with dignity.
Ruan Yingyu"s direct call for Xia Wanyuan attracted many spectators.
When everyone saw Ruan Yingyu"s Weibo photos, they were all shocked.
[ Oh my G.o.d!!! Does the law still exist? Xia Wanyuan is too cruel! ]
[ I can"t believe it. One second, I was still watching her quietly sitting on the sofa and eating potato chips. She was so quiet and gentle, but the next second, she actually let me see her beat up her younger brother to this extent. That"s too scary. ]
[ Yu"er, don"t cry. Our hearts ache whenever you cry. Brother, get well quickly. Xia Wanyuan will be punished by the law. How can a woman be so cruel? ]
[ It hurts to watch. Xia Wanyuan has really gone too far! Isn"t that "I"m a Big Star" doing voting? Let"s go and vote for her opponent and eliminate her in the first round. We can"t let such a disgusting person advance. ]
Everyone responded to this comment. As they denounced Xia Wanyuan, they voted for her other opponents.
Soon, everyone voted for her opponent on the first Weibo episode of "I am a Big Star", leaving Xia Wanyuan behind.
At the same time, the trending topic of "Xia Wanyuan hitting Ruan Yingyu"s younger brother" was pushed up. Together with the trending topic "Xia Wanyuan was arrested", everyone finally understood why Xia Wanyuan had gotten into the police car.
The comments were filled with applause and cheers. They all hoped that the police would punish Xia Wanyuan severely.
Tang Yin and Chen Yun were dealing with the potato chips company when they suddenly changed their tune and said that Xia Wanyuan"s image was bad and they wanted to stop the cooperation.
Chen Yun clicked into the trending topic skillfully and indeed saw the trending topic that made his eyes go blank.
"Oh my G.o.d, how did she beat up Ruan Yingyu"s younger brother??"
"Let"s go to the police station to understand the situation first. Wanyuan isn"t such an impulsive person."
"Okay, let"s go."
After receiving a call from Uncle w.a.n.g, Jun s.h.i.+ling stopped the meeting and rushed to the police station with Lin Jing.
————
"Come here and sit properly. Tell me, why did you hit the child?" In the police station, the young policeman asked routinely.
"He started it first," Xia Wanyuan said calmly.
The young policeman looked up and met a face that was as cold as snow. His ears turned red. "You, do you have any evidence? Even if he attacked first, would it be right to fight? You can call our police."
"There was no time. He deserves a beating."
"…" The young policeman didn"t have much experience. He was momentarily speechless by Xia Wanyuan"s words.
——
"His second uncle, look, it"s this person who beat our Nian Nian up. You must seek justice for us."
Just as the young policeman and Xia Wanyuan were in a deadlock, Father Ruan and a middle-aged policeman walked over.
"Deputy Captain Ruan." The young policeman stood up and bowed. He looked at Xia Wanyuan worriedly.
This Deputy Captain Ruan… His reputation in the police department was not good, but he was old and had some background. Normally, no one dared to offend him.
"Bring her to the interrogation room," Ruan Dan pointed at Xia Wanyuan and instructed the young policeman.
"Deputy Captain Ruan, this isn"t appropriate. She"s not a suspect." A look of disapproval flashed across the young policeman"s eyes.
"This person has a stubborn mouth and the nature of her attacks is bad. If I say you can send her over, you can. Cut the c.r.a.p."
Since he had some authority, Ruan Dan, who was used to ordering his subordinates around, felt that he had lost face in front of Father Ruan when he saw the young policeman not cooperating. Hence, he spoke to the young policeman more sternly.
"Come with me." The young policeman had just entered the police station. Although he was extremely disapproving, he had no choice but to follow Ruan Dan"s orders.
Xia Wanyuan looked calm.
She was well-versed in the ways of politics and naturally knew that even a police station that symbolized fairness would be a little dirty.
Since the Ruan family dared to call the police even though they knew that their son had caused trouble, they must have the confidence to do so at the police station.
After what had happened to Supervisor Jin the previous time, Xia Wanyuan had Uncle w.a.n.g prepare an extremely hidden miniature recorder for her. Now, Ruan Dan"s words were recorded without a word.
Xia Wanyuan obediently followed the young policeman into the interrogation room.
This place was completely different from the outside. When she was outside taking her statement, there was only a table between the police and her. Both parties were still on equal footing.
Meanwhile, in this interrogation room, there was a chair in an empty room. In front of it was a large lamp, and in front of the room was a relatively high table. The police and the person being interrogated had a clear relations.h.i.+p.
"I"m not a criminal. Why are you interrogating me here?" Xia Wanyuan"s eyes were filled with panic and fear. Her voice even trembled a little. One look and one could tell that she was a little girl who did not know anything about the world.
"It"ll be done in a while." Ruan Dan was amused by Xia Wanyuan"s fear. As expected, her calmness was just an act.
After dismissing the young policeman, Ruan Dan walked to Xia Wanyuan. "Young lady, you have to pay the price for hitting someone from my Ruan family. Go in and confess as soon as possible, then you won"t suffer so much. If you don"t confess, you"ll suffer."
With that, Ruan Dan pushed Xia Wanyuan into the interrogation room.
