In one sentence, Deputy Director Shen's legs became weak and his palms were full of sweat.

"Director Jiang?"

The chief shook his head and called Police Officer Li out for further questioning.

Grandma Xu noticed something was wrong, she squeezed her hands, and her turbid eyes met with Deputy Director Shen: “Director Shen, I didn’t hear clearly, who was the director talking about just now?”

"Director Jiang, Jiang Hui, the one reported on the Yuncheng evening news every day, you really hurt me this time!" Deputy Director Shen wiped his face and said with a serious look.

Then he immediately chased out to find the director.

He really hit a wall this time. He had a good relationship with Xu's father and thought that this was just a friction between high school students and he was just going through the motions.

Who knew that even Jiang Hui was implicated, and now he can hardly protect himself.

Ning Qing had just finished a phone call with her lawyer.

She hadn't seen Xu Shen's injury report, but she gave a rough estimate of the extent of his injuries. If she wanted to settle the matter privately, it would cost at least eight hundred thousand.

...

...

This was a small amount of money for the Lin family, but Lin Qi had all the spending records of the card in Ning Qing's hand.

Ning Qing pressed her temples as she walked into the police station.

"Mrs. Ning." The policewoman came forward politely.

This kind attitude was a little strange. Ning Qing raised her head and said, "My daughter..." "It's like this. The chief is handling the matter." The policewoman picked up the pen and lowered her head to make another note. "Your daughter has been released from the police station. As for Xu Shen, someone has been sent to retrieve the Ninghai Town file and to interrogate him."

By the time the section chief politely escorted her out, Ning Qing still hadn't fully understood what was going on.

The Director is handling it?

What does this have to do with the director?

She didn't even know the deputy director.

**

The school clinic didn't have all the equipment, so Cheng Mu drove directly to the hospital.

There was a temporary disinfection box in Cheng Juan's car, but there were no other tools, so he could only help her disinfect it and do a little processing.

The back seat lights were on.

I don’t know if it’s because Cheng Mu drives so steadily or the car has good performance, but there’s not a single bump in the road and the car drives smoothly and steadily.

Cheng Juan lowered his eyes and carefully wrapped the bandages. The disinfectant swept over the two wounds, and the flesh rolled out.

Because Qin Ran's skin was too white, the contrast with the bright red was even more obvious.

The heart of the people watching is tightened.

He paused, cleared his throat, and looked up: "You..."

Qin Ran was seen holding the car window with her left hand, lazily leaning on the back of the chair, with her head tilted, looking out the window. The light cast a glow in her dark eyes.

He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked closely, with a casual look that revealed a bit of cynicism as he played with the world.

Qin Ran didn't move her hands. She just tilted her head slightly, and the corners of her mouth slowly opened. "What?"

Her eyes and eyebrows were clear, and from her expression alone, one couldn't tell that she had two wounds on her hands.

He held back the words "Just tell me if it hurts" and looked into her eyes, neither avoiding nor letting her gaze go. Those eyes were filled with the sea and the stars.

They arrived at the hospital quickly. Even though it was late at night, the doctor was already prepared to sew her up.

Cheng Juan leaned against the wall with his phone in hand and talked to Lu Zhaoying.

"As long as you are 18 years old," Cheng Juan's eyes fell heavily on the door, obscure, a cigarette burning on his fingertips, his expression was still lazy, but his words were quite cruel, "You can bear criminal responsibility."

The stitches on Qin Ran's hand had been fixed, and the anesthesia time was probably about right.

Cheng Juan put the phone back and subconsciously wanted to put out the cigarette.

“No need to avoid me.” Qin Ran thought for a moment, tilted her head, leaned against the wall, looked into his eyes, raised her eyebrows and smiled, “Give me one?”

The ending tone is frivolous.

Cheng Juan put out his cigarette without changing his expression and threw it into the trash can.

He also threw away the cigarette in his pocket.

Qin Ran didn't mind. She shrugged and said, "Thank you for today. The fee will be deducted from my salary."

Cheng Juan looked at her back as she walked in front, pressed his fingertips on his temple, and stood there for a while.

**

This way.

Ning Qing returned to the Lin family.

Lin Qi was sitting in the hall.

Lin Jinxuan had just hung up the phone with Feng Ci. Seeing her come back, he looked at her and asked, "Auntie, why are you back? How is Qin Ran?"

Qin Yu heard the sound upstairs and put down the violin beside her. "Aunt, my mother seems to be back. Shall we go downstairs and take a look?"

She took Lin Wan's arm and went downstairs.

Ning Qing was still thinking about the director. She called Qin Ran but she didn't answer. When she saw Lin Wan, she didn't know how to start the conversation.

She pursed her lips and said nothing.

"What happened that has disturbed the whole family? Jinxuan and my brother have been looking for someone all night." Lin Wan took a sip of tea slowly and glanced at Ning Qing.

"This matter is not simple," Lin Jinxuan shook his head, "Deputy Director Shen intervened, aunt, is there anyone you know in the Public Security Bureau?"

Lin Wan put the teacup on the table and said nothing.

"Aunt, can you help my sister? She's still in the police station." Qin Yu shook Lin Wan's arm.

"Detained in the police station?" Lin Wan glanced at Ning Qing with a half-smile. When Ning Qing was very embarrassed, she finally withdrew her gaze and said, "There's nothing we can do to you. But I know a few people. I'll ask them to try tomorrow."

Ning Qing breathed a sigh of relief. There were indeed not many acquaintances in their Ning family, so it was good that Lin Wan was willing to help.

"Jinxuan, do you know their director?" Ning Qing asked Lin Jinxuan.

“Tsk—” Lin Wan laughed, “Brother, Jinxuan, I’m going upstairs to sleep first.”

Ning Qing sat on the sofa, feeling very uncomfortable.

Lin Jinxuan explained, "Our Lin family is just a family of Shangjia."

After all, the Lin family still has a shallow foundation.

That's strange.

Ning Qing smiled awkwardly. She really knew very little about this kind of thing, but...

She frowned... What did the police officer mean today?

Could it be that Qin Ran or Pan Mingyue knew him?

**

The next day.

Early in the morning.

The sound of physical exercises during breaks in the dormitory building continued.

Although she had already asked for leave, Qin Ran still couldn't help the noise.

Get out of bed irritably.

The eyes are blood red.

Lu Zhaoying took the school uniform jacket she wore yesterday to the dry cleaners to have it cleaned, and she casually grabbed the thin black jacket.

It was the official break time, but No. 1 Middle School rarely did it, and the break was long, so many students went out to buy snacks.

There are people coming and going.

Qin Ran lowered her head slightly, dressed properly, half-closed her beautiful almond eyes, and frowned slightly.

Qiao Sheng ignored Qin Yu these past two days. Qin Yu noticed it but pretended nothing happened.

He went downstairs with Xu Yaoguang to buy lollipops, and Qin Yu followed them, discussing a few questions with Xu Yaoguang in a low voice. Most people's eyes were on them along the way.

Qiao Sheng put one hand in his pocket, with a few younger brothers following behind him.

"Qin Ran asked for leave today?" He peeled a lollipop and put it in his mouth, then tilted his head and asked Xu Yaoguang.

Xu Yaoguang is today's discipline leader.

Xu Yaoguang was quite indifferent. He paused for a moment, then shook his head, "I don't know."

Qin Yu stood aside, stunned for a moment, "Don't you know?"

"What?"

"My sister..." Qin Yu pursed her lips, then shook her head and twisted her fingers, "She committed a crime and is still in the police station."
