Just when Meng Ting got back to her neighbourhood, Shu Yang was heading out with an umbrella in hand.
“You’re back?”
Meng Ting nodded “ Where’s Father Shu?”
“He is still doing experiments in the laboratory. He called me to fetch you back from the hospital.” Shu Yang’s gaze fell slightly, “You went to the hospital today, so how is the guy holding up?”
Meng Ting lowered her head, with a soft tone, “He’s okay.”
The siblings went back inside the house. Shu Lan saw them across the living room, she coldly smiled and went back to her room.
Since Father Shu discovered she was in her first relationship following that incident, she had been acting weird in front of both of them.
The Shu family didn’t know about the incident where Chen Shuo was beaten up again, none of them had any idea what was going to happen. Until the next morning, The Chen family complained to everyone as they were shocked to discover that their son that was just fine yesterday, was beaten up again and in a state of coma.
The couple immediately suspected Shu Yang because of the previous incident. Without hesitation, they reported this to the police, so that they could throw Shu Yang into jail for hurting their precious son.
After receiving the call, the police looked through the CCTV recordings from the hospital on that day. However, the recordings were quite blurry, so they could only guess that the culprit was a teenager with black hair.
Chen Shuo’s mother bawled, “This son of a bitch, not only refusing to pay for my son’s medical fees, he still badly injured Chen Shuo!”
The second day, the police visited the Shu Family early in the morning.
Meng Ting was the one who opened the door. She just finished cleansing her face, water droplets were still hanging on her eyelashes. She was in shock and her heart started to race after seeing the policeman on the porch.
The police were also amazed.
As men in their 30s, they had never seen such a beauty. Their gaze couldn’t move away from her.
The youngest in the team, Xiao Chen blushed and couldn’t even speak properly. It was only when the team captain said, “ Hello miss, are they any adults in the house currently?”
With such a big commotion happening in the morning, Shu Zhi Tong decided to go over and to take a look. He was shocked, and quickly invited the police into his house, “ Please have a seat. Is there anything that I can help you with?”
The police shook his hand and refused his invitation, “ We received a report today, claiming that your son had hurt someone badly.”
Shu Zhi Tong’s face turned pale and immediately acknowledged that something was not right. It has been several days since Shu Yang’s fight, how could it be something that happened yesterday?
Shu Yang and Shu Lan dressed up and walked over to the living room.
The police detected his presence and immediately asked: “You are Shu Yang right?”
Shu Yang froze for a second. Shu Zhi Tong swallowed his emotions and quickly explained, “Mr Policemen, my son did have a conflict with Chen Shuo. However, it was just a small accident. Both families have communicated and resolved the issue. I have agreed to compensate for Chen Shuo’s medical fees. I think there is some misunderstanding about the issue.”
Meng Ting looked up, with her fingers gripping tightly on the corner of her clothes.
The police said earnestly, “ How is there a misunderstanding? Chen Shuo was hurt badly yesterday and has to undergo surgery. We also went through the CCTV recordings that day. Shu Yang, please do follow us to the police station. If there is any misunderstanding, we would ensure your record would stay clean when proven innocent.”
Shu Yang, as a young teenager, had zero experience in receiving such questioning from the police. His face was pale white, however, after looking at his father and sisters, he nodded, “Ok. I’ll follow you guys to the police station.”
When the police decided to step out from the house, Meng Ting blocked their way.
Xiao Chen comforted her, “Relax, it’s just an investigation.”
The girl shook her head, said softly “It was not Shu Yang.”
The captain scowled, “How does a little girl like you know anything? We have already investigated the CCTV recordings. If it was not Su Yang, who will it be then?”
Men Ting pursed her lips, repeatedly said: “ It was not Shu Yang.”
She knew that Shu Yang was very scared at the moment. Although he has a cold personality and always kept his emotion to himself. He was just an ordinary 17 years old teenager that lived a normal life.
The arrival of police had attracted enormous attention in the neighbourhood. Residents were all interested in what was happening. Once the police arrested Shu Yang, the family would then have to live in rumours and gossip for a while.
The police kept questioning Meng Ting.
However, she kept quiet, thinking of the unruly teenager with black hair.
The tiny girl was still blocking the police’s way. Shu Zhi Tong was mortified, he pulled Men Ting aside and apologized to the police, “ I am very sorry. My daughter is still young, she didn’t mean to offend you. Also, my boy had always been a good student in school, he wouldn’t beat someone to that extent. There must be some misunderstanding.”
The police shook his hand with disagreement “Sorry, but the investigation still needs to be done. If he is proven innocent, we would release him immediately .”
Shu Zhi Tong, “ I am his legal guardian. I would like to follow him to the police station.”
The police agreed.
In the end, the police still brought Shu Yang to the police station.
At this time, Shu Lan finally felt scared, “ It’s not true that my brother would hit someone right?”
Meng Ting turned around: “Only now you realise how scary this is?”
“ You!”
Shu Zhi Tong urged them to attend classes today. Hence, they both can’t follow them to the police station.
Meng Ting rode on her bike, as the winter breeze blew through her scarf, she felt a slight chill. The air was cold and with a hint of freshness from the soil, mostly due to the heavy rain yesterday.
She was almost late, the class was already preparing to start.
Their language teacher gave instructions to take out their textbook and read Chinese poetry out loud.
For the whole morning, Meng Ting couldn’t concentrate in class. During the second recess, the class started to discuss something all of a sudden.
“There are several police cars at the school next door, guess at what is happening.”
Everyone gathered around the female student, “ Jiang Ren was arrested by the police, it is rumoured that he turned himself in.”
“ You’re not joking right?”
“I heard that he was often involved in fights? How would he turn himself in this time?”
She opened up her smartphone, everyone gasped in disbelief.
“He is too courageous, is the matter serious this time?”
“Does Jiang Ren have a tendency for such violence? I knew it from the start that he was not a good student, and would be jailed for his wrongdoings. However, I did not expect it to happen this fast.”
Meng Ting bit her lips and ran outside.
A few of them were shocked, “ Where is she going? The class is going to start soon.”
A few boys looked at her as she left.
The cold wind blew hard on her cheeks, but she could only hear her loud breathing.
When she reached Li Cai vocational high school, the police cars were still there. The red and blue light interchangeably lit on the top of the cars, despite the large crowd, she could only notice Jiang Ren and his short black hair.
The crowd started to bustle, all of them were pointing and murmuring about him. However, when his cold sight met with theirs, they would unknowingly step back.
The ice-cold aura surrounding him dissolved once he saw Meng Ting.
His gaze fixated on her for a moment.
Subsequently, his sight moved away as if he did not recognise her at all. However, the expression on his face changed into a carefree attitude. As if taking a trip to the police station was not a big deal at all.
He Han with his worried face followed behind the crowd, angrily said: “ What is it with Boss Ren this time?”
He was not shocked that Jiang Ren was involved in a fight, but the fact he reported himself to the police did.
He Jun Ming kept silent.
Last night, Jiang Ren ordered him to keep an eye on the Shu Family. Only when they reached school this morning, the people on watch hurriedly notified them that the police had arrested someone in the Shu family.
After that, Boss Ren took out his phone and surrendered himself with a calm tone.
“Jiang Ren!”
He heard someone calling him from the loud and noisy crowd, but he ignored. He chewed his gum, shoved his hand in his pockets and did not look back. He furrowed his brows, with an annoyed tone: “ Hurry up! Open the door for me so we can leave”
The policeman gave him a weird look, then pushed him inside the car and left.
Meng Ting finally managed to squeeze through the crowd, but could only see the police car leave.
He Jun Ming ran across her, “ Meng Ting.”
She turned around.
Her scarf was all over the place, her face went pale, with a pair of watery and hazy eyes. He Jun Ming originally wanted to comfort her but ended up feeling dumbfounded and blushed.
Fang Tan gave a slap on his head, “You are so dead”
He Jun Ming shivered and muttered with his blood-red face, “Student Meng Ting.”
Meng Ting asked, “Will Jiang Ren be fine?”
He Jun Ming initially wanted to say that it wasn’t serious. As the Jiang Family is wealthy, even if Jiang Ren was chased out from the family. No one would dare to do anything to him because of his powerful background. However, Fang Tan grabbed his neck and took initiative to answer with a sad look,” I can’t give you an accurate answer, he may need to stay in the police station for a few days.”
After Meng Ting left, He Jun Ming jumped feet “ What the hell are you doing? My neck almost broke just now!”
Fang Tan shrugged his shoulders, “ You idiot, it’s fine if you don’t understand.”
When Meng Ting reached the station, Shu Yang had already been released.
She walked inside, there were few policemen writing reports on their desk. They looked up and saw an anxious little girl, amazed by her beauty that even the female police was stunned.
After knowing her intentions, the kind-hearted police told her, “ Please take a seat and wait patiently. Your friend is undergoing an inspection inside.”
When Jiang Ren was set free, he stumbled upon this scene.
She was sitting in the main hall coupled with the cold breeze blowing from outside. Two policewomen were teasing her, she frowned for a while, and nodded her head. Beside her was a cup of tea, several young male policemen were looking at her as well.
In such an environment, it was completely normal to feel disturbed and unsafe as she was just a teenage girl in her 10s.
He walked in big steps, restraining his rage, “Fuck, why are you guys surrounding her?”
The policeman that sent him out gasped, Jiang Ren had a hot temper.
Jiang Ren grabbed Meng Ting by the wrist and took her out.
He suppressed his emotion and asked with an angry tone, “Are you stupid? What if someone sees you here, how are you going to explain yourself to them?”
He was referring to the issue that Meng Ting called out his name in Li Cai.
It was the first time she shouted his name in front of others. As courageous and fearless as he was, he didn’t dare to look back for the first time.
Meng Ting looked at his ugly face, ignored his fiery temper, “ Are you alright now?”
“ What could happen to me”
“Your friends told me, that maybe…” She furrowed her brows, and changed to another sentence, “ dentented.”
Jiang Ren casually replied, “ It’s not a big deal at all, my reputation was never good anyway.” His words seemed natural, but it somehow made people pity him. She remembered the words and discussions of her classmates about him, her eyes became teary.
After all, Jiang Ren was doing this all for her.
Jiang Ren looked down and saw her looking at him with her watery eyes.
He felt grumpy all of a sudden, “ What are you upset about? I already saved your brother.”
He already did his research about the incident that day, it was her stepbrother, Shu Yang beside her.
She blinked her eyes, eyelashes hanging with tears.
Jiang Ren was startled. After a few moments, he raised his fingers to wipe away her tears, and calmly whispered: “ I promise, I won’t say one word about you, don’t be afraid.”
From the beginning, he thought that Meng Ting was afraid of all this.
Students are the most naive and cruel creatures. His reputation was so bad that if someone heard that Meng Ting was somehow entangled with him. She wouldn’t be able to enjoy a peaceful high school life.
