Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
When the blond was caught, everyone was still bewildered. The police arrived too quickly, and why did Xia Wan seem to be familiar with the police?
The blond immediately protested, “We didn’t do anything to her, we just stopped her.”
Officer Song snorted coldly, “If we hadn’t come, would you have just stopped her? Whatever you have to say, say it at the police station.”
He then waved to the people behind him, “Take the person away.”
The others got into the police car, while Officer Song stayed behind to talk to Xia Wan. “He’s Zhou Kai. His parents pa.s.sed away while working elsewhere. He was raised by his grandparents and can’t be controlled. But he hasn’t done anything seriously harmful.”
Xia Wan nodded, “I’ve recently offended some people at school. It’s possible someone hired him to confront me and teach me a lesson.
“It would be best to make him reveal the instigator behind this. If he confesses voluntarily, we can consider forgiving him for his involvement in intimidating me.
Officer Song looked deeply into her eyes, “So you already have a suspected person in mind?”
Xia Wan nodded, not hiding anything from Officer Song, “I do have some suspicions, but until Zhou Kai confesses, I can’t be sure. Let’s see what he says.”
Soon, Officer Song took the person away, promising to provide Xia Wan with the results later that day.
Police station.
Zhou Kai didn’t admit that someone hired him to intimidate Xia Wan.
In his view, he just stopped Xia Wan and didn’t harm her. As long as he didn’t confess, the police couldn’t do anything to him.
Officer Song reasoned with his grandparents.
He told Zhou Kai that having a criminal record would affect him for life, and his grandparents wouldn’t be able to hold their heads up in the village.
These words touched Zhou Kai, and he eventually confessed. He revealed that it was Li Pan, a cla.s.smate of theirs, who instructed him to make things difficult for
In the afternoon, Officer Song brought Zhou Kai directly to Xia Wan’s cla.s.sroom.
It happened to be their cla.s.s teacher Jiang Rong’s cla.s.s.
Seeing the police coming, Jiang Rong looked somewhat panicked.
“Officer, what’s going on?” Jiang Rong asked, with a sense of unease. She had a bad feeling about this.
Officer Song nudged Zhou Kai, “Tell them yourself.”
Li Pan, sitting in a lower seat, became visibly nervous, avoiding Zhou Kai’s gaze.
“Li Pan asked me to stop Xia Wan, take her to a bar for drinks, and then release her the next day. Li Pan also gave me 200 yuan as compensation.”
Upon hearing Zhou Kai’s words, the cla.s.smates below looked at Li Pan in astonishment.
200 yuan!
That’s equivalent to their family’s monthly income. Li Pan actually spent such a significant amount to trouble Xia Wan.
Li Pan immediately denied, “I didn’t hire him to do this. He’s framing me.”
Officer Song’s gaze sternly fixed on her, “When you met Zhou Kai, two of his friends were also present. We interrogated them separately, and their accounts matched. We have eyewitnesses now, proving that you were behind this.”
“Zhou Kai hasn’t spent your 200 yuan. If you don’t honestly confess, we will contact your parents. ”
Li Pan stood up immediately, “No, you can’t contact them. They’re already disappointed in me because of the previous incident.”
Officer Song continued, “If you confess voluntarily, considering your young age and the fact that the consequences of this incident haven’t escalated, there’s still room for maneuver.”
“But if you keep lying, refusing to admit, the nature of this incident will change.”
Jiang Rong also anxiously looked at Li Pan, “Li Pan, did you really do this? If it’s true, confess quickly.”
Biting her lip, Li Pan finally nodded, “I did it.”
Officer Song took her away, and the other students in the cla.s.sroom lost their focus on the cla.s.s.
Jiang Rong knocked on the desk, looked at Xia Wan with mixed emotions, and then said, “Focus on the lesson. If there’s anything to discuss, do it after cla.s.s.” Under Jiang Rong’s intimidation, the students dared not discuss further.
After cla.s.s, many people gathered around Xia Wan and asked, “Xia Wan, what’s the deal between you and Li Pan? How could she still have someone go after you? You used to be so close, chatting endlessly every day.”
Song Zhi also approached and said, “Xia Wan, you’re being too ruthless. We’re about to take the college entrance exam this year. Reporting her to the police and getting her arrested, isn’t that ruining her life? Which university would accept her in the future?”
Her gaze towards Xia Wan was accusatory, as if she were the guardian of justice..
