Ye Jian wasn't afraid at all. She pursed her lips and smiled slightly, "Auntie, I'm not afraid. I will not be afraid of something I have confidence and am sure of. If I'm not sure or certain about something, I will not use reasons like 'I only saw it but am not sure what happened' to defame other people and clear my own suspicion."
When Yao Jing heard that Ye Jian wanted to call the police, she clenched her fist unconsciously. She grabbed Deputy Commissioner Yao's arm tightly as her lips trembled. However, her voice was still calm and soft as she said, "Dad, you mustn't let her call the police. Ask Mom to calm down and not make a huge scene.
I know that Mom and you can't bear to see me suffer but this time, I really dragged you down."
She was just a child, a child that was well-versed with talking to people. Most of the time, she wasn't afraid of trouble but once it came, she was scared.
Yao Jing was frightened but she wouldn't hide behind her parents because of fear.
Calling the police was the worst scenario. It was what she was most fearful of too.
Once they called the police, based on how timid Luo Ran was, he would definitely tell the police the idea she gave him truthfully so that he could pretend to be innocent!
Even if Luo Ran wouldn't do it, his parents would think of ways to make him say it!
When he heard his daughter, Deputy Commissioner Yao felt as if a huge rock had slammed down on his heart. It slammed down so hard he closed his eyes uncontrollably.
"You're too impatient, Jingjing."
Too impatient, too close-minded, too anxious for success!
Yao Jing pursed her lips tightly. Tears were floating in her eyes. "Dad, I didn't expect her to be so ruthless. She didn't leave any path of retreat for me! I didn't expect this! I really didn't expect this!" She didn't think that Ye Jian would want to call the police.
She didn't know that Uncle Yang's family would side with Ye Jian too.
She took a deep breath and quietly pulled Mother Yao. "Mom, stop talking first. I will take care of it. This matter is between Ye Jian and me. I can't get you implicated. I will settle my own business."
"Jingjing!" Mother Yao was very confident but when she heard this, her heart clenched tightly. "What have you been hiding from us?"
"I have been hiding the matters between Ye Jian and me from Dad and you. Calm down."
When Yao Jing finished speaking, Mother Yao felt frustrated and sad at the same time.
Her daughter was actually sensible. However, her opponent was Ye Jian. She was a powerful opponent. Her daughter didn't have the ability to deal with Ye Jian. It was understandable that she would fail.
"Why do I know that you asked Yang Heng out for a fight? The reason is simple. I know that you and Luo Ran agreed to have a duel in the alley behind the pub." Yao Jing stood up and walked in front of Ye Jian. She straightened her back and said coldly, "I know this so I guessed that Yang Heng and his friends went out to fight."
Ye Jian smiled. "No wonder. I was surprised when I saw Luo Ran and a bunch of gangsters in the lobby the moment I walked out of the banquet hall. I didn't even need to rush to the meeting place. You were the one who told them I was here. I was thinking about why you kept avoiding me in school for the past half a month.
You were afraid that I would suspect you."
"Unfortunately, Yao Jing, a smart person like you made the wrong move."
"Ye Jian, stop making excuses. You brought a group of boys out to fight. Why are you still so proud?"
Was Yao Jing saying that Hengheng undoubtedly went out to fight? Was she accusing Ye Jian of offending disreputable people and dragging Hengheng down with her?
