Chapter 231 Let's make an example of someone first.

After he finished speaking, the quantum computer bracelet on his wrist vibrated. When he opened it, he saw that it was Qiao Mei calling him via quantum computer.

Xu Heyu could easily guess who had called Ao Cang. She looked at him with cold blue eyes and said, "I hope you can really keep your word. Otherwise, if there is a next time, I can assure you that I will never hand Little Rose over to you like this again."

After finishing her sentence, Xu Heyu composed herself, took a deep breath, and headed to the police station ahead of Ao Cang. She inquired about Qiao Mei's situation and exchanged some pleasantries.

When Qiao Mei saw Xu Heyu approaching, and Ao Cang following not far behind him with what appeared to be a wound on his lip, she felt something was amiss.

But since Xu Wenfeng and Xu Hui are still around, she can't ask too many questions.

He could only greet Xu Heyu briefly and didn't ask any further questions.

By the time the interstellar police retrieved the audio and video evidence from her smartwatch, it was almost dark. Before Qiao Mei and her group left, another group of interstellar police, seemingly from headquarters, arrived.

As soon as this batch of interstellar police appeared, the director, who had initially been looking down on Qiao Mei, instantly became like a mouse seeing a cat, his whole body tense up.

Seeing this, Qiao Mei recalled what she had heard the police officer named Yuan Shao say in the interrogation room and guessed what was going on.

But these things are no longer relevant to her.

The important thing is to leave this place of trouble as soon as possible.

"Let's go."

Qiao Mei helped Xu Wenfeng walk outside the Interstellar Police Station. It was only when they got outside that they realized it was drizzling.

Xu Hui is now married to Li Chonghua, and the two live together. She rarely goes back to the small home she used to live with Qiao Mei.

Given what happened today, Xu Hui, unusually, went back with Qiao Mei, but it was Li Chonghua who accompanied her.

She comforted Qiao Mei, telling her not to overthink it, and that both she and Xu Wenfeng would seek justice for her. She suggested that she stay home and rest for the next few days instead of going to school, as she had already spoken with Sai Qin.

This wasn't a big deal, and Qiao Mei wasn't really harmed.

Tell Xu Hui that she doesn't need to ask for leave; she can just stay home today and go back to the college first thing tomorrow morning.

"Can you handle it? You've just encountered something like this. If you're in a bad mood, don't force yourself."

Qiao Mei shook her head, thinking to herself that she had experienced similar things, or even worse, things before, let alone something as trivial as this.

Seeing that she was quite insistent, Xu Hui stopped talking and only said that if she encountered a similar situation again, she should remember to contact them first and then contact the interstellar police.

The interstellar police receive countless reports every day, and when they actually take action, they might not be as quick as Xu Hui and her team.

"Okay, I understand. You and Uncle Li can go back now. It's good that the rain has lessened now. It won't be as convenient to go back when the rain gets heavier later."

After saying that, Qiao Mei glanced at Ao Cang's room and remembered the wound she had seen on the corner of his mouth earlier. After seeing Xu Hui and the others downstairs and leaving, she went straight to find him.

Ao Cang's divine power can only be used to heal other people's injuries, not his own.

So even now, he's still trying to figure out how to cover up the extra redness and swelling on the corner of his mouth.

Although the medicine from the interstellar hospital was effective for him, his interstellar ID was still bound to Qiao Mei's card, so he could see the purpose of the medicine as soon as he used it.

It's bound to be exposed.

So he's currently applying ice to his wound, hoping it will help.

"Knock knock, Cangcang, open the door."

Upon hearing that Qiao Mei had arrived, Ao Cang instinctively and hurriedly put away the ice cubes. He then wiped the water from the corner of his mouth and got up to open the door.

"They're here."

To avoid arousing Qiao Mei's suspicion, he deliberately styled his silver hair to cover half of his face by placing a lot of it to the right side of his lips before opening the door.

But there's a saying, "Trying to cover up only makes things more obvious." He didn't realize that the more he acted this way, the more likely Qiao Mei would notice his unusual behavior.

As soon as he opened the door, the long-haired girl at the door noticed his abnormality. She frowned, stepped forward, and brushed aside his silver hair, clearly seeing that his mouth was still red and swollen, and pus was still oozing from it.

Ao Cang was stunned and subconsciously took two steps back, then tried to cover himself with his hair again: "An'an, I was bitten by an insect here, it's not serious..."

"Biten?" The moment Qiao Mei saw the wound on Ao Cang's lip, her face darkened. She stepped into the house and pressed closer.

"This is the first time I've ever heard of an insect that can bite a person's mouth so badly. Why don't you tell me what kind of insect bit you?"

"That bug, isn't it... also surnamed Xu?"

At this point, Qiao Mei stopped in front of Ao Cang, with only a fist's distance between them.

She brushed his silver hair aside again, looking at the wounds he had made even worse. Her red eyes showed not only heartache but also anger.

Ao Cang wasn't good at lying, so he instinctively replied, "How did you know it was...?"

At this point, he realized he had let something slip and quickly shut up, blinking his golden eyes nervously, which only made Qiao Mei angrier.

"What? I didn't even know that Xu Heyu's relationship with you was better than your relationship with me? He hit you, and you're going to cover for him?!"

Ao Cang shook his head and lowered his head as he replied, "I didn't mean to cover it up for him. I just felt that he deserved to punch me. If I hadn't told you about this beforehand, perhaps none of this would have happened. I thought I could handle Wen Jin'ai's situation, but I messed it up."

"I'm sorry, An'an..."

Qiao Mei could roughly guess why Xu Heyu attacked Ao Cang.

But she genuinely didn't know that Ao Cang would help Xu Heyu conceal this fact, and there was another reason behind it.

She pursed her lips and didn't reply to him first. Instead, she opened her smart bracelet and bought the medicine.

After doing all this, she sighed, pulled him out of his room, and went downstairs.

She had been busy all day and hadn't eaten yet, so she asked Ao Cang to help her out while she recounted what he had said earlier.

"Strictly speaking, you're not the one in the wrong in this matter, so you don't need to apologize."

She had always known that Ao Cang was good-looking.

Even if it's not Wen Jin'ai this time, there will be Wen Yin'ai tomorrow, and Wen Tong'ai the day after.

It can only be said that Wen Jin'ai's incident has brought forward the problems that will arise between her and Ao Cang in the future.

As long as those who covet Ao Cang are interested in his appearance, this kind of thing will always happen.

It would be better to take this opportunity to make an example of someone and show those who still have designs on Ao Cang or her the consequences.

Ao Cang, however, couldn't get over this and was still blaming himself.

Qiao Mei: Oh, the heart of an old mother.
