Chapter 1135: Calling the Parents
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Jian Ai sat in the middle obediently with her legs together. The police officer on duty in the police station didn’t know the truth. He looked at Jian Ai through the glass and even smiled kindly at her.
Not long after, one of the newbie officers walked up to Jian Ai with a document. “We need to register your personal information. I’ll ask and you’ll answer.”
“Name?”
“Jian Ai,” Jian Ai said.
“Gender…” The police officer paused and looked up at Jian Ai. He continued to ask, “Age?”!!
Jian Ai: “Fifteen years old.”
The police officer asked again, “Are you a local in Baiyun City? Which school are you from?”
Jian Ai: “I’m from Baiyun City’s Erzhong.”
The police officer nodded, turned around, and walked away again.
After another twenty minutes, they officially brought Jian Ai to the interrogation room. The person in charge of interrogating her was Wang Li.
In the end, he was facing a young lady. Even though he knew she was the one who hit the group of boys, Wang Li still lowered his voice and tried his best to look friendly. “Don’t be nervous. Just answer truthfully whatever I ask you.”
Jian Ai smiled. She was not nervous.
Wang Li turned to look at the young police officer beside him and gestured for him to record. Then, he asked Jian Ai, “Tell me briefly what happened. It would be even better if there are detailed causes and effects.”
When Jian Ai heard this, she said, “I don’t know the cause. The two people who got beaten up were my cousins. When I rushed over, the other party had already pressed the two of them to the ground and then punched and kicked them. Therefore, I was angry and hit them.”
Jian Ai briefly explained the reason she had attacked them.
Wang Li raised his eyebrows. He did not expect the girl in front of him to have such a strong narrative ability. She had already said the main point.
“You’re saying that the two underage people who were beaten up are your relatives? Cousins?” Wang Li confirmed again.
Jian Ai nodded. “My uncle’s son and daughter.”
Wang Li understood and sighed. He initially wanted to ask about the details of Jian Ai’s attack, but after thinking about it, he looked at the surveillance cameras.
“You can’t leave yet. You have to contact the parents. We don’t know the other party’s injuries yet. We can only decide on the next step after everything is figured out. However, it’s a fact that you injured someone. You can’t deny this, right?” Wang Li looked at Jian Ai.
Jian Ai answered truthfully, “I admit it.”
Seeing that this girl could tell right from wrong, it saved him a lot of effort. Wang Li closed his notebook and looked at Jian Ai. “Call your parents!”
Jian Ai looked at Wang Li and said, “Let’s call our parents after my cousins are done with the investigation! I’ll wait here. I’m not going anywhere.”
Wang Li paused and thought about Jian Ai’s suggestion. Since they were family, there was nothing wrong with calling their parents together. He nodded gently. “Alright, there’s a sofa in the room next door. You can go over and lie down for a while. I’ll get someone to get you a blanket.”
“Thank you, Uncle Police,” Jian Ai smiled sweetly.
Wang Li looked at the smile on Jian Ai’s face and couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows. It was hard to imagine that such a lively and cute girl could beat someone up like that.
Jian Ai didn’t stand on ceremony and went straight next door with the blanket. Afraid that Jiang Chunfen would worry, she even called to tell her that Wang Zichen and Wang Zimeng were with her.
Hearing that they were playing outside with Jian Ai, Jiang Chunfen was naturally relieved and didn’t ask further.
Covering herself with a blanket and with the air conditioner blowing, Jian Ai fell asleep quickly.
When she was called up again, it was already midnight.
They brought Wang Zichen and the rest back from the hospital. Other than Li Yongqiang, who had his head split open, and a boy whose nose bridge Jian Ai’s knee had broken, the rest of the people returned to the police station to cooperate with the investigation.
When he saw Jian Ai again, Wang Li’s gaze changed drastically from before. Confusion, surprise, and other emotions intertwined. Jian Ai still smiled at Wang Li as usual, but she knew in her heart that he had seen the surveillance cameras.
However, when Wang Li looked at the smile on Jian Ai’s face, he felt a chill run down his spine.
“Is your body okay?”
Jian Ai walked to Wang Zichen and his sister and asked.
Wang Zichen shook his head. “I’m alright. Zimeng is fine too.”
Jian Ai looked at Wang Zimeng. The redness on her face seemed to have been applied with ice. The swell had subsided a lot, but they could still see it.
“Sister, the police asked us to call our parents just now. I…”
Wang Zimeng wanted to say something but hesitated. She looked at Jian Ai with a difficult expression.
Jian Ai had lied to Jiang Chunfen just now. She thought to herself, ‘Did Wang Zimeng call Jiang Chunfen?’
“You told Aunt?” Jian Ai quickly said.
Fortunately, Wang Zimeng shook her head. “No, I didn’t dare to tell my mother. I… I called Uncle Qiao…”
“Ah?” Jian Ai couldn’t help but be shocked. Then, she couldn’t help but laugh. “You called Qiao Yuan?”
This was really smart. Qiao Yuan was most concerned about his relationship with her aunt’s two children. If she found him now, Qiao Yuan would definitely stand with Wang Zimeng and Wang Zichen.
However, Wang Zimeng didn’t think too much about it. However, at that moment, her only choice was Qiao Yuan because she didn’t dare to let her parents know.
Wang Zimeng looked at Jian Ai and nodded as if she was about to cry. “Sister, should I not have told Uncle Qiao? He will tell my mother.”
Jian Ai shook her head. “You’re overthinking. He’ll help you.”
The two of them spoke one after another. Wang Zichen was confused. In the end, he couldn’t help but ask, “No, can the two of you say something I can understand? Who is Uncle Qiao?”
Wang Zimeng opened her mouth but didn’t know what to say. Tell her brother that he was their mother’s boyfriend? She didn’t dare.
She looked at Jian Ai for help, wanting Jian Ai to help her find an excuse.
Jian Ai was about to say something when Wang Li’s voice sounded first. “We already have the surveillance video and have a rough understanding of what happened. However, because one party is a minor, we have to wait for the other party’s parents to mediate.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Li glanced at Jian Ai.
The people Jian Ai hit also looked over, but their gazes shrunk. It was obvious that they were still traumatized.
Wang Zimeng whispered in fear, “Sister, will you and Brother be arrested?”
Jian Ai raised her eyebrows indifferently. “Don’t worry, we’ll be fine.”
