"Officers, we really didn’t do anything!"
"Officers, you can check the surveillance."
The officer glanced over:
"Stealing phones, harassing others, and you say you didn’t do anything?"
After checking all the identity documents, he spoke again:
"Everyone, come with me to the police station."
The group was completely dumbfounded.
Lu Jing and Jiang Yuan had no objections.
Ten minutes later, everyone arrived at the nearest police station.
As the parties involved and witnesses, Lu Jing and Jiang Yuan completed a thorough statement.
As for the others, they were probably still in the interrogation room.
"Miss Lu, Miss Jiang, you can go home now. We’ll notify you if there’s anything else."
Jiang Yuan didn’t speak, just pulled Lu Jing.
"Okay, thank you, officer."
Actually, she could imagine that the group wouldn’t face severe punishment,
unless they had other criminal records, in which case they could be charged with multiple offences.
Such situations were really frustrating and there was nothing one could really do about it.
Leaving the police station, Jiang Yuan finally spoke:
"Sister-in-law, are you really not going to tell my brother?"
If Jiang Ye knew, he wouldn’t let it go so easily.
Lu Jing pursed her lips:
"Hmm!" she responded.
"Alright, after all, we didn’t get hurt or anything." Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on NoveI(F)ire.net
The police station wasn’t in some remote place, but rather in a bustling downtown area.
The two hailed a taxi:
"Master, to Huaining County."
However, what they didn’t know was that someone had taken a full video of the event and posted it online.
In this late hour, who isn’t on their phone?
The views exploded instantly.
It didn’t even take half an hour before it topped the trending searches online.
When Lu Jing and Jiang Yuan got back to Huaining County, they each took a shower, not even having a chance to check their phones before calls started coming in.
Hearing the continuous ringing, Lu Jing was the first to emerge from the bathroom.
Wet all over and wrapped in a bathrobe with a dry hair cap on, she walked over to the sofa in the living room, then pulled out her phone from her bag.
She saw four missed calls:
Two from her mom, one from her cousin, and, of course, one from Captain Jiang.
Pondering why everyone was calling her, Lu Yan called back again, and Lu Jing hastily answered:
"How are you doing now? Anything wrong? Did those people try to hit you?"
Lu Jing was confused for a while before slowly realizing:
"Bro, you know?" she asked.
Over the phone, Lu Yan almost laughed in frustration:
"How could I not know? You haven’t seen that it’s all over the internet, and Lao Si is probably freaking out."
Lu Jing was startled:
The incident had made it to the trending searches?
Damn, she really hadn’t thought of that.
She finally understood why suddenly so many people were calling her.
"Bro, we are okay; those people didn’t get physical."
Lu Yan scoffed coldly:
"Save those words for Lao Si!
Also, aunt is worried about you; call her back."
"Oh, okay, got it, bro."
This conversation between the siblings finally ended.
Afterward, Lu Jing called her own mother back, and the mother and daughter talked for a while, finally alleviating Lu’s mother’s worries.
You should know, the old couple had almost booked flight tickets to come over.
Luckily, their daughter was fine.
"Jingjing, you nearly scared your mom and dad to death," she expressed.
