Chi Yue looked at Xia Chuyi and Huo Shiqian in disbelief.
"How, how is this possible?" Chi Yue’s voice trembled as she murmured.
"Improper behavior? A man of ill-repute?" Huo Shiqian’s cold voice slowly echoed in the interrogation room.
Chi Yue’s complexion turned pale in an instant, and her body began to tremble with each word Huo Shiqian forcefully articulated.
The atmosphere now felt as though an invisible great mountain was pressing down.
"Chi Yue, are you really the informant?" Not afraid of the pressure, the first to break the silence was Xia Chuyi.
She slightly frowned and said, "Were you at school today?"
At this, Chi Yue clung to what seemed like a lifeline, shaking her head vigorously: "No, I wasn’t! I wasn’t at the school!"
"Yes, I wasn’t at the school at all, I didn’t see anything!"
"Everything I know was told to me by Zhan Yi!"
"It was her, it was her who said you were with a man from outside the school, behaving in a way that was somewhat... uh, excessive."
"So, this has nothing to do with me, it’s all Zhan Yi!" Chi Yue hurriedly said, "You can bring her in for a confrontation!"
"It is said that the reporter did so with their real name," Huo Shiqian glanced at the distressed Chi Yue and calmly stated, "The person who reported with their real name, is it you or is it her?"
The "her" Huo Shiqian referred to was naturally the Zhan Yi mentioned by Chi Yue.
Just when Chi Yue thought she had found a lifeline, she felt weak at the knees and almost couldn’t stay standing.
Quick on their feet, a police officer at the side promptly supported her: "Miss Chi, are you alright?"
Alright? How could she possibly be alright!
Chi Yue now deeply regretted her actions to the point her insides were twisting with remorse.
How could it have gone wrong, where did she go wrong?
Wasn’t Xia Chuyi having an affair with Ou Cong?
How did it suddenly become Huo Shiqian!
Huo Shiqian, Huo Yama, was someone who even his father, Huo Zhongcheng, dared not disrespect. At this moment, Chi Yue only felt anxious and insecure.
"Director Luo, did you hear that?"
"This Miss Chi Yue seems to not have witnessed firsthand any inappropriate behavior between myself and my fiancée," Huo Shiqian spoke evenly, "Yet, she reported our names nonetheless."
"Accusing an active-duty military officer is an extremely serious offense, and I hope that your Police Station will handle it with justice."
With the end of this speech, Chi Yue felt as though she had fallen into the depths of hell.
"Furthermore, as for that student who spread baseless rumors, I hope Director Luo will verify the facts and decide on the appropriate punishment for both of them, after the investigation."
A few words determined the guilt of both Chi Yue and Zhan Yi.
Luo Qinglian coughed once and spoke righteously, "Rest assured, our Police Station will never tolerate those who wantonly slander and frame military personnel!"
Huo Shiqian nodded and said, "Then, I thank you, Uncle Luo."
With official business concluded, "Director Luo" then became "Uncle Luo."
Luo Qinglian wiped his brow and shook his head secretly; the air of authority in the young master of the Huo Family was growing stronger by the day.
The future belonged to these young people.
Since this incident was indeed a mistake on the part of the two female students, Luo Qinglian might as well do Huo Shiqian a favor.
"Then, Huo Commander, I’ll take them away now." He gave a glance that signaled his intent.
The police officer supporting Chi Yue immediately began to lead her away.
However, at that moment, Chi Yue suddenly came to her senses and, struggling, rushed towards Xia Chuyi, "Chuyi, Xia Chuyi, I beg you, we’re classmates, can’t you let me off?"
