Nian Ueno

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Weixi was still not completely at ease. Her eyes darted around, wondering if she should just make a run for it.

Just now, Xu Manzhen's malicious look made it clear that she had some kind of conspiracy in mind.

Jiang Weixi walked to the front door and found Xu Manzhen standing there, with a strange man in uniform standing next to her.

Xu Manzhen narrowed her eyes: "See what I told you? She just wanted to run away."

Jiang Weixi's heart skipped a beat. Her gaze swept over the man's epaulets, which showed a rank higher than any of the other staff members present.

Did Hsu Man-chen invite a big shot over?

The group returned to the mediation room.

The man who came in with Xu Manzhen clearly had more authority, and when the other staff members saw this, they all stood up to give him their seats, showing him great respect.

The police chief looked at Jiang Weixi, speaking in a businesslike tone, but his wording was noticeably biased.

"After investigation, it was confirmed that a physical altercation did occur between the two parties. Ms. Xu's injuries appear to be quite serious, and Ms. Jiang will need to stay here for a few days until the injury assessment results are available."

How many days will you stay?

Isn't that just detention?

If she is administratively detained today, it will leave a record of illegal activities, and no matter what she does in the future, her background check will be hindered.

Moreover...

She thought of Ji Dongxun's agreement.

As his wife, she absolutely cannot have such a stain on her reputation!

No, no.

She absolutely cannot stay here today.

Jiang Weixi pursed her lips, clenched her fingers, and pinched her palm hard.

She saw the undisguised malice in Xu Manzhen's eyes.

So that's what Xu Manzhen was planning.

Ha ha.

Jiang Weixi stared straight into the police chief's eyes and asked:

"Wouldn't Ms. Xu, one of the parties involved, also stay with me? I believe my injuries are also quite serious."

The air seemed to freeze for a moment.

The police chief's expression remained unchanged as he succinctly characterized the incident: "Ms. Xu is the victim; her injuries are serious, and she needs to go to the hospital for treatment first. As for Ms. Jiang... she doesn't seem to have any problems."

Xu Manzhen looked much worse than Jiang Weixi; her cheeks were swollen, a handful of her hair had been pulled out, and her arms were covered in bruises.

The police chief stood up, looked at Xu Manzhen, and said in a noticeably gentler tone, "Ms. Xu, you can go back now. We will notify you when the follow-up test results are available."

"it is good."

Xu Manzhen turned around, leaving Jiang Weixi with a provocative smile.

That look seemed to say: Just stay put.

Jiang Weixi's heart turned cold, her back teeth clenched, and her heart was filled with anger.

Why should she stay here, while Xu Manzhen can just pack up and leave?

With a "bang".

The door to the mediation room was opened.

Everyone was stunned for a moment.

Xiao Zhou stood at the doorway and stepped aside.

Ji Dongxun walked in, his eyes cold and his aura imposing.

Everyone wore an expression of surprise.

Xu Manzhen looked surprised. Why would Mr. Ji be here?

A flicker of joy crossed Jiang Weixi's eyes; she hadn't expected Mr. Ji to come in person.

The police chief switched to flattery in a second, quickly approaching him with a slightly ingratiating attitude: "Mr. Ji, what brings you here?"

Ji Dongxun, weathered and exuding an imposing aura, asked coldly, "What did she do that requires her to stay here?"

Despite the simple question, the police chief felt a surge of pressure, and sweat began to bead on his forehead.

Jiang Weixi walked to Ji Dongxun's side and began to complain, looking aggrieved.

"Mr. Ji... ×#＆π％... This isn't fair!"

She tilted her head slightly, blinked, and stared intently at him: "What do you think?"

The police chief broke out in a cold sweat upon hearing this.

Xu Manzhen couldn't understand the current situation.

Why would Master Ji speak up for this girl?

The police chief, with a smile on his face, said, "Mr. Ji, the matter is still under investigation..."

Ji Dongxun glanced at him indifferently: "Two little girls had a little disagreement? Does it need to be blown out of proportion?"

He defined the incident as a fight, but it turned out to be just a squabble between two little girls.

The police chief, keeping his eyes downcast and focused on his own thoughts, immediately made a decision: "Yes, yes, it's not that complicated. The two of them can just reconcile."

He knew perfectly well that Mr. Ji was there to stand up for Miss Jiang, so he immediately changed his tune.

Footsteps sounded outside the door.

Ji Xingzhou and Xu Manzhen's older brother appeared at the door at the same time.

The police chief wiped non-existent sweat from his forehead.

Why are there two more big Buddhas here?

When Xu Manzhen saw the two of them, it was as if she had seen her pillar of support. Tears streamed down her face as she rushed into her older brother's arms to complain.

"Waaaaah... Big brother, it was that woman who hit me."

Xu Manzhen cried with snot and tears streaming down her face, and rolled up her sleeve to show the bruises on her arm.

"She slapped me, kicked me, and pinched me. Waaaaah, it really hurts...it hurts so much."

Brother Xu was heartbroken, and his gaze toward Jiang Weixi was fierce and cold.

Seeing her injuries, Ji Xingzhou took her hand and examined the wounds on her face and hands: "How did you get hurt like this?"

Even when he and Xu Manzhen were arguing the most fiercely, he couldn't bring himself to hit her.

Seeing her beaten up like this still makes me feel sorry for her.

Xu Manzhen burst into tears, complaining, "It was all because of your ex-girlfriend."

Ji Xingzhou looked at Jiang Weixi and said sternly, "How could you be so cruel?"

Jiang Weixi didn't look as disheveled as Xu Manzhen at this moment. She had only been slapped once, and her right cheek was slightly red and swollen, but it had subsided a lot and was not very noticeable now.

But Ji Xingzhou's questioning almost made her laugh in exasperation.

Xu Manzhen has repeatedly provoked and bullied her. Is he blind and can't see it?

Now that she's only retaliated, she's being accused of hitting too hard?

Xu Manzhen pinched her waist just now, and Jiang Weixi was in a lot of pain, but it wasn't appropriate to show it to others now.

Ji Dongxun lowered his eyes and glanced at Jiang Weixi, his eyes showing some disapproval.

Jiang Weixi understood that look; it seemed to be asking her why she had been so ruthless.

Are girls who cry more likely to receive sympathy?

Jiang Weixi's thoughts shifted slightly, and she immediately squeezed out a few tears.

It's just crying, isn't it?

Who can't do that?

She can cry more beautifully, more tragically, and more heartbreakingly than Xu Manzhen.

A single, glistening tear rolled slowly down her face. She didn't cry loudly, but only sobbed softly.

"I don't know how I offended Miss Xu. Last time she slapped me for no reason. Today I was studying in the library when she suddenly rushed over and poured water on me and hit me. In a moment of panic, I fought back. I was just acting in self-defense."

Xu Manzhen was furious at her attitude and shrieked, "Stop pretending! You've been seducing my boyfriend! Should I praise you if I don't hit you?"

Ji Dongxun frowned, his gaze sweeping over everyone present.

Ji Xingzhou roughly understood the reason for their fight, his eyes filled with complex emotions, including a hint of strangeness.

It's strange that Ji Dongxun would come to handle such a trivial matter as girls fighting.

Ji Xingzhou's gaze lingered between Jiang Weixi and Ji Dongxun, a strange feeling stirring within him.
