Chapter 276: Threatened
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The male officer realized he had gone too far and just stared at Wen Nian, but she wasn’t scared and stared back at him.
“The two of you have a recording, don’t the police usually check recordings? And there are surveillance cameras in the principal’s office too. Everything I’ve said is true and valid.”
At this point, Wen Nian leaned slightly forward, squinting her eyes, “If I face any verbal threats or if someone tries to force me to admit to a crime 1 didn’t commit, not only do I have my teachers as witnesses, but also audio and video evidence.”
The male police officer frowned and suddenly felt an inexplicable pressure from the little girl in front of him.
Wen Nian sat back down obediently and smiled. “Of course, if someone has bribed my teachers, deleted the surveillance footage from the principal’s office, and the police recordings just happen to go missing, then I won’t be able to say anything, right?”
Both officers were taken aback by Wen Nian’s words.
However, when he thought of the benefits promised by the others, the male police officer still said, “Little girl, don’t talk nonsense. Are you questioning the police?”
The male police officer was a little angry. He didn’t expect a little girl to be so difficult to deal with.
The female officer elbowed him lightly, gesturing for him to stop spouting nonsense. After all, Wen Nian was a student and there was a recording. If he continues questioning Wen Nian this way, she might be implicated and be punished.
However, Wen Nian was not afraid at all. She smiled and said, “Maybe I’ve watched too many crime dramas lately and got misled? As you know, I recently acted in a movie, so I wanted to learn how others act.”
“So, you think being a celebrity means the police won’t dare touch you? The police can still arrest you!” The male officer narrowed his eyes dangerously.
At this point, Li Fang also sensed something was off. She firmly said, “What can the police do to a student? Can the police arrest people casually? The police should be more rigorous? Why are you constantly threatening my student? I’m going to call the police station and verify your identities!”
Li Fang was angry. She held Wen Nian’s hand, glaring at the officers.
The female officer felt awkward, wanting to smooth things over, but she heard Wen Nian say calmly, “Celebrities also can’t stand above the law, and neither can anyone else.”
“But isn’t it because I acted in a movie and became famous that you’re coming to me now? This incident has garnered a lot of attention from netizens and caused significant societal impact. Is that why you’re here?”
“Because you committed attempted murder…” The male officer’s words were cut short as he realized he had, in the investigative stage, declared Wen Nian guilty in front of school teachers and colleagues.
Wen Nian laughed upon hearing his words, “In that case, as you said, I should be arrested. So, shouldn’t I be taken to the police station instead of being questioned in the principal’s office? If the police believe I’m guilty, then I have nothing to say. If you want to continue questioning me, I believe I have the right to request a lawyer’s presence, otherwise, I won’t say another word.”
She turned to Li Fang and said, “Teacher, I need the surveillance footage from the principal’s office. After all, I’ve been wrongfully accused and threatened. I need evidence.”
Li Fang didn’t expect Wen Nian to have such an aura and thoughts. Hearing her words, she subconsciously nodded.
Wen Nian stood up. The male police officer panicked, but he still raised his voice and asked, “Who allowed you to leave? Sit down.”
“I can’t leave? I’m being forcefully detained?” Wen Nian looked at him sarcastically. “I don’t think you have the right to do that, right?”
“After all, the movie 1 starred in has grossed billions, and I have millions of fans. Since I’ve been implicated by the police in an attempted murder case, I must inform the director and producer. The movie can’t continue to be screened.”
“I might also be facing significant compensation claims, and the director and others might be subject to scrutiny. There are also explanations to give to my fans. There’s just too much going on, and I need to consult with a lawyer. I’m afraid I can’t continue to accompany you. Can I leave?”
She didn’t look at the male officer but glanced at the female officer, who met her gaze and subconsciously nodded.
Wen Nian didn’t press any further. It was clear that the male officer had been bribed; he had come here today to pressure her. She needed to obtain the surveillance footage from the principal’s office first.
But as soon as she left the principal’s office, a row of camera flashes illuminated her, and reporters swarmed around her.
“Wen Nian, did the police find the school to inquire about the incident where you pushed someone into the water?”
“What’s your relationship with that girl? Did jealousy drive you to murder?”
“Does the police involvement prove that you did have a motive for murder? Do the police have any evidence?”
