I have few friends, but many childhood sweethearts.

Chapter 104. Park Accident Scam 3
Inside the mediation room, Xu Qingfan patiently recounted the situation to several police officers.

"It's true that the three of us were chasing each other in the park, but that old hag was more than a meter away from us. She tripped and fell because she couldn't hold her cane properly. We kindly went to help her up, and then for some reason, she grabbed Lin Wanning and Zhang Yiyi's hands and accused us of pushing her!"

"Then what happened when you slapped him again later?"

"That old woman grabbed people really hard. I saw my two friends were about to cry, so in a moment of panic I slapped her. I heard from our teacher that this was self-defense!"

"Yes! Brother Qingfan hit her to protect us!"

"Ok!"

Seeing that the police officers opposite them still didn't believe what they were saying, Zhang Yiyi and Lin Wanning were so anxious that they almost cried.

They were clearly doing a good deed out of a sense of justice, but in the end, they were wrongly accused.

"Mr. Xu, right? Since there are witnesses on the other side, regardless of whether the old lady was tripped by the children, you will have to take full responsibility. My suggestion is that you should try to reach an out-of-court settlement with the other party's family. That way, everyone will be more at ease," the police officer advised Xu Aiguo after taking his statement.

"It wasn't us who pushed it over, sob sob~" After hearing the police's findings, Lin Wanning burst into tears, feeling wronged.

"We...we didn't!" Zhang Yiyi held back her tears and pulled out a tissue to wipe away Xiao Wanning's tears.

Xu Aiguo couldn't bear to watch: "Officer, is there no other way?"

The officer shook his head: "There are no surveillance cameras in that area. Even if you can find someone to testify now, it will be a matter of each side having their own version of the truth. I still suggest you try to negotiate off-site as much as possible."

Xu Aiguo sighed helplessly and slumped back in his chair. "Uncle believes you have been wronged. You are all good children who acted bravely and righteously!" he said to the three of them.

“Dad, we don’t accept reconciliation. Doesn’t reconciliation mean admitting that we pushed the person down? We clearly didn’t do it, so we don’t admit it!” Xu Qingfan said.

"Tsk~ You kids, I'm doing this for your own good. There are witnesses who saw you push the person down. If it goes to court, you'll be fully responsible. You'll not only have to hire a lawyer, but you might also have to pay more in compensation. Think it through."

"No reconciliation! We clearly didn't push it down!" Lin Wanning's temper finally flared up as she glared at the police officer who had just spoken, hands on her hips.

"No!" Zhang Yiyi retorted coldly.

Seeing the cowardly Lin Wanning's outburst, Xu Qingfan was initially startled, but after realizing what was happening, he laughed from the bottom of his heart.

"Okay, okay, the police officer isn't a bad guy. Why are you two being so fierce? Apologize to him right now."

"Uncle, I'm sorry, Ningning wasn't being mean to you just now."

"sorry!"

The two little girls lost their earlier bravado, lowered their heads shyly, and spoke in barely audible voices.

"Haha~ It's nothing, it's nothing. I'm just offering my suggestion. What you do is your own choice." The officer laughed and scratched the back of his head.

Xu Qingfan thought to himself, [If they don't sue in court, how can I take them all down? Those college students who are just wasting their time won't get away either. Grandpa Yuan shouldn't have let them eat so much!]
"If you are not willing to mediate, you can go back now. Just appear in court on time after you receive the court summons."

"Okay, okay, thank you for your trouble, officer." Xu Aiguo stood up and shook hands with the other person. "You three sit here and wait for me. I'll go back to the park, get the car, and pick you up." He turned to the three children and said.

"Ah."

After Xu Aiguo left, the police officers led the three of them to the tea room where they usually rested. "Brother Qingfan, what do we do now?" Lin Wanning asked listlessly, lying on the table.

"Don't worry, with me here, the bad guys won't succeed. Look at this!" Xu Qingfan proudly took out his phone and opened the vlog he had just saved.

The three little ones huddled together, their eyes glued to the video on the screen. When the playback reached the scene of the old woman falling down, the two little ones held their breath in tension.

As the video ended, Lin Wanning and Zhang Yiyi both breathed a sigh of relief, while the little girl said angrily.

"She clearly fell down on her own, that old man is so wicked!" Lin Wanning said angrily.

"Ningning, you can't swear!" Xu Qingfan bumped her head against hers.

"Aiya~" the little girl exclaimed cutely, "It was clearly Brother Qingfan talking! Hehe, Brother Qingfan is the best, Ningning knew it!!!"

Lin Wanning's worry turned to joy, and she excitedly kissed him on the cheek.

"Brother, you're amazing!" Zhang Yiyi followed suit and covered up the kiss mark left by Lin Wanning.

"We called Yi Yi's mother and asked her to send that old bastard to jail and also to compensate Yi Yi and Ning Ning for their emotional distress!"

"Brother Qingfan is right!"

"Brother, yes!"

Xu Qingfan chuckled and rubbed the two little heads, then pressed '1' twice and successfully dialed Zhang Chunxue's number.

"Xiao Fan, what's wrong? Auntie doesn't eat desserts, so you don't need to bring me any." Zhang Chunxue answered the phone, thinking that they wanted to bring her food again, and spoke first.

"Put your food aside for now, Auntie. Someone is framing us," Xu Qingfan recounted the entire afternoon's events.

Zhang Chunxue was furious after hearing this, and she scorned the shameless old woman and the passersby who blindly followed the crowd. Fortunately, Xu Qingfan was clever from a young age and actually filmed the incident, which made her feel much better. "Xiaofan, where are you now? Auntie is coming to find you right away!"

“Auntie, we’re still at the police station, waiting for my dad to come and pick us up.”

Which police station?

"The biggest one, the one next to the power bureau."

"Where are you at the police station?" Zhang Chunxue pressed.

"In the tea room."

"Please sit down there first. I'll call Uncle Yi Yi. Someone might come looking for you later."

"what?"

Xu Qingfan wanted to ask more questions, but the call had already been disconnected.

"Yi-yi, does your uncle work here?" Xu Qingfan hadn't put the phone on speakerphone, so he tilted his head and asked Zhang Yi-yi.

The little girl shook her head, giving me a look that said, "I don't know what to do."

On the other end, after hanging up the phone, Zhang Chunxue searched through her contacts for a moment and then dialed a number.

"Hello, brother, this is Zhang Chunxue." She spoke coldly after the call connected.

"Oh! Xiaoxue, why are you calling your brother? We all miss you. When are you going to bring Yiyi home to visit? You didn't even come back for the New Year. Dad really misses you."

"Why go back? To be criticized and denounced by you? Yi Yi and I are doing just fine outside! Your niece has been bullied and is right here in the break room of your police station!"

"Family? I'm coming right now!" Zhang Chaoqun originally wanted to persuade his sister, but upon hearing that his niece had been bullied, he rushed out of the office without even hanging up the phone.

Director Zhang

The police officers who had originally intended to greet Zhang Chaoqun in the corridor exchanged puzzled glances, wondering if a high-ranking official had arrived.
The three little ones, who were secretly eating snacks, stopped what they were doing and looked at the middle-aged police officer who was running over breathlessly.

Xu Qingfan thought to himself, "[It's just stealing a few packets of snacks from the police station, is it really worth making such a fuss?]"
"Yi-yi, who bullied our Yi-yi? Tell your uncle." Zhang Chaoqun breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Zhang Yi-yi sitting inside unharmed.

"Uncle!" Zhang Yiyi excitedly jumped up and pounced on the middle-aged man's lap.

"Hey~ We're speaking more and more clearly now!" Zhang Chaoqun picked up the little girl with a loving expression.

Hello, Uncle.

The three children were led away from the tea room in a daze. When they saw the words "Director's Office" written on the sign, Xu Qingfan secretly swallowed.

After exchanging pleasantries, Xu Qingfan told Zhang Chaoqun the whole story and showed him the audio and video recordings on his phone.

"Uncle, we want to countersue that old woman for extortion and those college students for perjury, is that okay?" Because the person opposite him was Zhang Yiyi's uncle, he spoke his mind without reservation.

Zhang Chaoqun stared at Xu Qingfan with the same scrutinizing gaze one would give a criminal, saying nothing, his fingers rhythmically tapping on the mahogany desk, looking incredibly dignified.

[This kid is only seven years old? He's so thoughtful.] Zhang Chaoqun clicked his tongue in amazement.

"Uncle?" Xu Qingfan felt a little uneasy under his gaze and scratched the back of his head to remind him.

"Okay, you can leave your phones to me for now. You don't need to worry about the rest; I'll handle it." He stopped what he was doing and said to Xu Qingfan.

With the matter concluded, Zhang Chaoqun, perhaps due to his professional instincts, conducted a thorough interrogation of Xu Qingfan.

"Are you Yi-Yi?"

"Yes, Uncle, my name is Xu Qingfan. I am Yiyi's classmate and group leader."

"A person from Licheng?"

"Correct!"

"An only child?"

"Ok!"

"Isn't your father from the city? How come he settled down in Licheng?"

Xu Qingfan:
[Luckily, I didn't have a hotel booking record.] He secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Having an uncle who is the police chief or something is terrifying!
However, with Zhang Yiyi's uncle's help, they are really going to take them all down this time.

Thank you to Brother Sunshine Old City for the 500 Qidian Coins reward.
