Chapter 231: They Tried to Attack Me but were Not My Match
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Gu Mang was considered special because she was sent to the juvenile offender correctional institution when she was only five years old. Although it sounded disgraceful, she saved a life doing so. It was because of her that Meng Jinyang was so extraordinary today.
However, this time around, there were two with rib fractures, two with wrist fractures, and one with bleeding ear drums and a mild concussion. They were top students of Experimental High School. Why would top students like them get into such trouble?
On the other hand, Gu Mang…
The police officer stared at her and flipped open the record book. “Why did you fight?”
Gu Mang crossed her legs and stretched her hands, resting them on the interrogation table. Her beautiful fingers tapped the table casually. Her actions made her look like a bandit giving off the vibe of an untameable teenager.
In a low, raspy voice she said, “They attacked me.”
“They attacked you?” The police officer raised his head and frowned. “But why are they the ones in the hospital now?”
“They attacked me.” Her exquisite eyebrows appeared brash as she smiled and added, “But they were no match for me.”
The police officer was speechless.
…
In the hall.
The form teacher from Experimental High School was much calmer than the parents. Taking a deep breath, he said, “The students are all in the hospital right now. They are all from Experimental High School Year Three Class One!”
His expression was ugly. Five of the top twenty students from Year Three, including the top student in the city, were all lying on sickbeds right before the national joint exam. This was a problem for Experimental High School.
“A little girl like her must be mad for being so harsh! I wonder how many students she will harm if she isn’t locked up.”
“Our Fang family will definitely not let this matter rest. If you don’t give us an answer, I will expose your police station online!”
The parents’ faces were savage. The men in the police station shot glances at each other but dared not speak. Liang Qingru was the most prominent among the parents. She gripped her bag tightly while trying to quench her anger. Staring at the police officers, she said, “She broke their ribs and caused fractures. Our Yi Chen even suffered a mild concussion. These are grave injuries! How do you guys intend to settle this?”
The Branch Commander knew that Gu Mang was merely an orphan with no background. He reassured her, saying, “Madam Yu, please don’t worry. This is a serious offense and we will handle it. We will detain her for sure and leave a record.”
“That is insufficient,” Liang Qingru responded icily. “All of the medical fees and damages for our five families must be paid as well!”
Branch Commander nodded profusely. “Of course, we’ll assist Madam Yi in getting the compensation.”
It was only then that the fury in Liang Qingru’s chest died down. It looked like her son would miss the national joint exam, an especially important examination. She could not accept Gu Mang not going to jail!
A man came out from the station’s data room holding a confidential criminal case handover file.
Seeing the situation, he paused in his footsteps and asked someone, “What’s the matter?”
“A fight broke out at school. A girl beat five boys up and sent them to the hospital,” a man replied. He then sighed. “She’s the girl who fought a man at five and sent him to the hospital.”
Hearing this, the man looked at him. “Gu Mang?”
“Who else could it be?” The person sighed. “But she is in trouble this time around. The boys she hit were all rich kids. The CCTV footage has been destroyed too. The only evidence left are the boys in the hospital. The parents are pursuing the matters.”
The person’s voice was muffled when he mentioned the CCTV footage. Anyone with good sense knew that Experimental High School destroyed the footage in a bid to send Gu Mang to her doom. The boys’ injuries were not the only evidence.
Gu Mang had no power and influence. How could she fight with wealthy families? The medical fees alone were crushing.
