Chapter 206: Chapter 206: I’m Fine! Chapter 206: Chapter 206: I’m Fine! The police officer had never encountered such an arrogant parent before, “Madam, your daughter is suspected of school bullying, and she has admitted to it herself. I’m afraid you cannot take her away just yet.”
The woman glanced in Jiang Nian’s direction and said, “She looks fine to me. If she’s alright, why can’t my daughter leave? Do you want compensation or something? Fine, how much do you want? We’ll pay.”
The officer looked at her sternly and said, “This is probably not just about compensation. If the other parent decides to pursue this, your daughter might face criminal charges.”
The color drained from the woman’s face, then she said, “It’s just kids fighting, nothing serious. Besides, my daughter is still under eighteen; minors can be exempted from certain penalties, right?”
The officer patiently explained, “Here’s the thing: the criminal law states that only those under twelve years of age are completely exempt from criminal responsibility. Your daughter is already sixteen and must be held accountable for her actions.”
The woman’s expression stiffened, then she arrogantly said, “Then please, ask them how much money they want to settle this, we are willing to pay for a settlement!” In her eyes, it seemed all matters could be resolved with money.
Shen Zhaozhao was seething as she watched from the side.
No wonder Jiang Youyi had such a fearless attitude.
She was about to say something but was stopped by Sheng Chuyi.
At that moment, the station’s door was pushed open again.
They saw a woman dressed in a bright red dress and high heels, with her makeup delicately done, walking in.
Shen Zhaozhao had seen her once before–it was Jiang Nian’s mother.
“Officer, is my daughter alright?” the woman began asking the police officer by the door as soon as she entered.
“Who’s your daughter?” the officer asked.
“Jiang Nian, my daughter is Jiang Nian. I heard she was being bullied,” said the woman in red.
“You are Jiang Nian’s mother? Good, the other parent is here too. Why don’t you both sit down and discuss how you want to handle this matter?” the officer said.
“It’s you?” Mrs. Jiang’s face immediately showed disdain and contempt upon seeing the woman in red. Then she glanced again in Jiang Nian’s direction and said, “So, this little wretch is your daughter.”
“Mrs. Jiang.” The woman in red looked surprised as she glanced toward Mrs. Jiang, then at Jiang Youyi beside her, quickly comprehending the situation.
“Good that you’re here. Name your price; how much do you want so you won’t pursue this matter further?” Mrs. Jiang spoke.
Knowing it was these two, she felt more at ease; this woman loved money, and it seemed money could solve the issue.
“I want to see my daughter first.” The woman in red didn’t respond directly; she walked over to Jiang Nian and carefully checked her by holding her hands, “Nian Nian, how are you? Are you hurt?”
“I’m fine!” Jiang Nian pulled her hand away and coldly said.
The woman’s facial expression involuntarily stiffened, knowing the girl blamed her. Then she looked up at the officer opposite her and asked, “Officer, what exactly happened here?”
The officer glanced toward Jiang Youyi and the other two girls and said, “This student, along with two other female students, took your daughter to a back alley at school to teach her a lesson. Luckily, it was discovered in time by two other students. How would you like to handle this matter? Do you want to sue or settle privately?”
