Chapter 492 - The Police Arrives
Once the noises stopped, Yuan shouted out loud in a nervous voice from his bedroom, "Meixiu! Are you okay?!"
Since his Divine Sense wasn't powerful enough to see what was going on at the door, he had no idea what had transpired— only that they had been invaded and Meixiu was dealing with the invaders.
"I am okay." Meixiu's voice resounded a moment later.
And she continued, "I have driven away the invaders, but it might get a little rowdy here since I have just called the police."
"Thank heavens you're fine…" Yuan released a sigh of relief after hearing her calm voice.
Sometime later, Meixiu entered the room so that Yuan could actually see that she was okay, and she proceeded to explain the situation to him.
"I can't believe they actually broke into our home to try and take you away…" Yuan said with a deep frown on his face. It has been a while since he felt this much anger, and all of this was caused by the Cultivators' Association and the Yu Family.
"I didn't want to blow this situation up so I reported it to the police as a random robbery. Even if we tell them that the Yu Family had hired them to take me back, they wouldn't believe it, and I'm sure the Yu Family will have some sort of excuse ready in case they get investigated."
"Despicable!" Yuan muttered in a suppressed voice.
He didn't feel this angry when the Yu Family abandoned him, nor when they kicked him out of the house. However, breaking into their home and trying to force Meixiu back had caused him to feel emotions that he didn't know were possible.
What would have happened if Meixiu didn't have the capabilities to protect herself? Yuan didn't even dare to imagine it.
"What's going to happen now?" He asked her after calming down.
"Well, the police are on their way here, but so is my mother. We'll just have to see how things go." Meixiu said in a calm voice.
"You're awfully calm about this situation, Meixiu." Yuan noticed this and said.
"I guess… But panicking won't help. Though I think it's mostly because I know that my mother will be here." Meixiu said.
Sometime later, the police arrived at their apartment along with some ambulances to take care of the two unconscious men that were on the verge of dying.
"Can you tell me what happened?" The police officer asked Meixiu with his notepad and pen in his hands.
Meixiu nodded and proceeded to recall the situation.
"I was in my bedroom trying to sleep, but then I heard some weird noises coming from the door, so I decided to investigate. However, right as I reached the door, I suddenly heard the door unlocking by itself. It was at this moment that I knew someone had broken into our home, so I prepared myself for the worse."
"The invaders entered through the door the next moment, and I unconsciously punched the first person who entered, taking him by surprise. Then I proceeded to fight the second person. When I defeated him as well, the last two invaders ran away, and that's when I called the police."
The police were left dumbfounded by Meixiu's story. How can a single girl with a delicate appearance like Meixiu fight off four adult men by herself?
"Are you by any chance a cultivator?" One of them asked her.
"Yes, I am." She nodded.
"I am also not used to my new strength, so when I fought back, I might have used a little too much strength…" Meixiu said.
"Y-Yeah… We can see that from their injuries. According to the medics, one of the men had a broken jaw while the other had his neck crushed. It's a miracle that the latter one is still alive."
"What about you, young man? Can we hear your side of the story?"
The police then asked Yuan, who was sitting in the wheelchair.
"I don't know. I only heard the commotion when Meixiu fought the invaders."
"Okay. Anyway, please sit tight while we speak with your neighbors to see if they have anything else to say."
The police then went to knock on their neighbors' door.
However, all of them were either asleep or playing Cultivation Online, and the commotion wasn't loud enough to wake them up.
Shortly after the police spoke with their neighbors, Meifeng showed up to the scene with a cold expression on her face.
"Excuse me, who are you?" One of the policemen stopped her.
"I am her mother." Meifeng pointed at Meixiu, and she continued, "I rushed here after receiving news of what had occurred."
"I see…"
The police allowed her to enter the place after confirming her identity.
"What's going to happen now?" Meifeng asked the police.
"We can't really say anything until those two unconscious men wake up and we get their side of the story, not to mention the other two who ran away. However, if this is really a robbery, then we'll make sure justice is served. As for their injuries caused by the young lady, it'll be considered self-defense. They might try to sue her later for the damages since their injuries are quite severe, but that will be up to the court."
"I understand. Thank you." Meifeng said to them.
"We will contact you again later." After taking down Meixiu and Meifeng's contact information, the police left the scene.
Once they were gone, Meifeng sat down in the living room with Meixiu and Yuan.
"Alright, tell me the whole story."
Meixiu nodded and recalled everything that had happened without skipping any details this time.
"They sent four cultivators with military experiences, huh? You dealt with them much easier than I'd expected. What's your cultivation?" Meifeng then asked her.
"First Level Spirit Warrior… I had a breakthrough recently, too." Meixiu responded in a low voice.
Meifeng's eyes widened with surprise.
She didn't really believe it at first when they said Meixiu was talented in cultivation, but after learning her cultivation, Meifeng had no choice but to believe it.
