As people debated back and forth, Su Shan looked at Wen Xin angrily. She had not anticipated that her plot to frame Wen Xin would fail and instead turn against her.
Observing Wen Xin’s composed demeanor, Dean Tang knew today’s issue wouldn’t be easily resolved. He shifted his gaze from Wen Xin to the two police officers, adopting a stern expression.
“The police have worked hard today. Let’s start with Ms. Su’s attempt to frame Ms. Wen. We should proceed according to the normal legal process.”
“Dean…” Su Shan couldn’t believe the Dean was actually speaking up for Wen Xin. Her face filled with disbelief as she looked at him, “You… it was Wen Xin… I… you can’t, you can’t sue me… I…”
Su Shan was utterly disoriented, not expecting such a turn of events. She tried to rush at Wen Xin to strike her, but the police officers stopped her before she could reach.
“Ms. Su, please cooperate with us and come to the police station for further investigation!”
As the police officers started to lead Su Shan away, she yelled, “I want to sue Wen Xin for hitting me… I want to sue her!”
The officers paused, glancing at Su Shan’s swollen mouth, then hesitantly looked at Wen Xin, who was casually leaning against the bed.
Before they could speak, Wen Xin smiled knowingly, stood up straight, and grabbed her backpack.
“I’ll come with you to the police station.”
Wen Xin’s willingness to cooperate significantly changed the officers’ perception of her, even earning a flash of admiration from them.
“Ms. Wen, we’ll also need a copy of your video to prove the false accusation. Dean Tang, let’s all go together!”
Dean Tang, watching Su Shan being led away by the police and Wen Xin standing aside, sighed resignedly and followed them out of the dormitory. He drove his own car with Wen Xin inside and followed the police car to the station.
During the drive, Wen Xin received a call from Mu Chengxi, who immediately said, “Just wait for me at the police station. I’m bringing Chen Lingxiao with me.”
Wen Xin was not surprised by Mu Chengxi’s words and responded with a faint lift of her eyes to Dean Tang, who was wiping sweat from his brow, “Okay, got it.”
After her brief response, Mu Chengxi hung up without saying more.
Wen Xin put her phone back in her pocket and glanced at Dean Tang, chuckling lightly, “Are you afraid of taking responsibility, or what? Why did you inform Mu Chengxi?”
Dean Tang, who was driving, was startled by Wen Xin’s question and straightened up in his seat, looking at her through the rearview mirror.
“I didn’t inform him; he had already told me beforehand that if anything happens at school involving you, I shouldn’t keep it from him. It helps him protect you.”
Hearing Dean Tang’s righteous response, Wen Xin raised an eyebrow and smiled lightly, “Okay, since you put it that way, I can’t even blame you. But let’s agree that he’s quite busy. There are things I can handle myself without bothering him.”
Wen Xin hadn’t intended for Mu Chengxi to know about this. It wasn’t a big deal, and she could handle it herself.
Dean Tang, wiping sweat from his forehead, replied softly, “Okay, I’ll keep that in mind next time.”
The car stopped outside the police station, where a crowd was already gathered. Some were agitated, tugging at the officers escorting Su Shan.
“Our Su Shan is clearly the victim. She was the one attacked by that girl. Why are you detaining my daughter instead of the actual perpetrator?”
“Let go of my daughter! I’ve already called the chief of the public security bureau; he’s coming soon and will make sure you get a proper education.”
Watching the chaotic scene outside, Wen Xin casually leaned on the car window, observing with a lazy smile.
Such arrogance.
A police officer approached and tapped on the driver’s side window.
“Dean Tang, it seems someone informed the Su family, and they’re quite upset about Su Shan’s injuries. We’re trying to calm them down. Could Ms. Wen and you please wait a moment before getting out?”
“Sure, make sure to calm the Su family down. They…”
Dean Tang was interrupted as a black commercial van pulled up outside the police station. Stepping out was a man in work attire, Zhao Honghan. Not a stranger to Wen Xin but someone she had not seen for a long time.
Zhao Honghan held a document in his hand—a summons for Su Shan’s father, Su Yuntian, regarding an investigation into illegal land dealings and bribery.
“Mr. Su, please come with me. There’s been a report of illegal land sales and bribery involving you. Let’s go to the prosecutor’s office for further investigation.”
Tang Ming, who was talking to the police, immediately turned to look at Wen Xin. His eyes were filled with surprise.” Student Wen, this is…”
Wen Xin merely looked out the window with a cold gaze. Her gaze landed on the Maybach parked not far away. She spoke unhurriedly.” The evidence provided by Mu Chengxi.”
This was not her doing. Although she had Chu Yunxuan investigate the Su family, she hadn’t delved into their company’s affairs; such swift action could only be Mu Chengxi’s.
Mu Chengxi also stepped out of the vehicle, followed by the city bureau chief. The policemen at the car’s side widened their eyes and then turned back to Wen Xin, wondering about her true identity.
Wen Xin glanced at the surprised officers, smiled faintly, and stepped out of the car.
By then, the Su family had quieted down, completely unable to grasp why Su Yuntian was being arrested. Weren’t they supposed to handle Su Shan being bullied today?
As Su Yuntian saw Mu Chengxi approaching, only shock remained in his eyes. He stared as Mu Chengxi walked towards him.
“President Su, since you can’t manage your own daughter, the Su family might as well not exist. From now on, fend for yourselves.”
After saying this, Mu Chengxi walked past Su Yuntian to Wen Xin, took her hand gently in his, and bowed his head to meet her gaze levelly.
“Trouble on your first day…”
Wen Xin looked at Mu Chengxi, her face breaking into a mischievous smile, raising an eyebrow at him, “Life always needs some adjustments. Otherwise, it’ll be too boring.”
