Chapter 234: Fearless, Unwavering
"Classmate, you may have forgotten that we are on the street and there are surveillance cameras everywhere." Huo Fanjin smiled and pointed upwards.
There just happened to be one hanging there.
"As for what you just said," Jiang Fuyue took out his phone and pressed the play button, "I have recorded it."
Ren Xinghe's face turned pale, and suddenly the words flashed through his mind -
Who is dumber than who among those who can enter the summer camp?
About a quarter of an hour later, the police arrived and took a statement on the spot.
Jiang Fuyue suspected that Ren Xinghe had committed intentional injury and refused to mediate, clearly demanding that he be held accountable. The two policemen looked at each other, knowing that this matter could not be resolved peacefully, and could not help but cast their gazes on the overly young girl in front of them.
There was curiosity and doubt in his eyes, as well as a bit of scrutiny and judgment.
But the latter's eyes were clear and he didn't dodge or evade, instead he made them feel a little embarrassed by his stare.
"Ahem..." One of the policemen cleared his throat, "Are you classmates?"
Jiang Fuyue: "We were in the same summer camp training class, but the training has ended now."
"Even though we only started learning this later, we can still be considered classmates."
Jiang Fuyue did not deny this.
"Since we're classmates, we should just negotiate properly. There's no need to make such a fuss..."
"Comrade police officer," Jiang Fuyue interrupted him, "If you didn't hear what I just said, let me repeat it again—no negotiation, no mediation, and no giving up on accountability."
"Hey, I was wondering why this little girl——"
At this time, another older police officer stepped forward and said, "Xiao Liu, go to the car and get a few bottles of water to distribute to everyone."
"But……"
"Go ahead, I'll talk to her."
The young policeman called "Xiao Liu" walked away with his head down.
"Don't worry, young lady. This guy has just been assigned to our institute. He's a greenhorn and has no experience."
"Really?" Jiang Fuyue curled her lips. "I think that officer handles this kind of dispute very well and is very experienced."
The middle-aged policeman touched his nose and smiled awkwardly: "Ahem! Hello, my last name is Zhou."
"Officer Zhou." Jiang Fuyue nodded and followed suit.
With such an attitude and demeanor, where is the childishness and innocence that a girl of her age should have? She is like a seasoned veteran who has been through the ups and downs of life.
No, she was even harder to deal with than a seasoned veteran. From the moment she spoke her first words, this girl was so quiet and gentle that it was impossible to find any fault with her.
"Xiao Liu, oh, that's my young colleague. He just wants to mediate the dispute and reconcile the two sides. He absolutely has no intention of condoning or condoning. After all, in modern society, harmony is the most important thing. We are just following the established procedures. Of course, if one party refuses to negotiate, we will not force them and will fully respect the wishes of the parties involved."
Sure enough, old ginger is still spicy.
These words defined the young policeman's words and deeds as "duty", and Jiang Fuyue had no way to make a fuss about it.
In addition, one should not hit someone who smiles at him. He had explained it in a nice way. If Jiang Fuyue insisted on it, it would be too unreasonable and even suspected of being unreasonable.
The girl looked at him with a deep gaze, her smile growing deeper. "Since Officer Zhou understands what I mean, that's all the better."
"So, you still insist on not negotiating?"
"certainly."
Officer Zhou was silent for a moment. "Okay. But I do have a few things to remind you. These aren't things I should be saying, but you kids are young and impulsive, and it's easy to make irrational decisions..."
Jiang Fuyue: "I'm all ears."
Officer Zhou sighed, "First of all, you're still high school students, underage. Going in and out of the police station is bound to have a negative impact. If it's more serious, you'll have a criminal record, which will be a dark history you can't erase for the rest of your life. That's why I urge you to be cautious."
"Secondly, it's clear that student Ren was at fault. If you insist on pursuing this, he'll likely be held criminally responsible. Isn't this too harsh a punishment for a young high school student?"
"As the old saying goes, forgive others when you can. Maybe he was just impulsive. If it ruins the rest of his life, wouldn't that be a bit too much?"
"Of course, I'm not saying you shouldn't take responsibility for mistakes, nor am I sympathizing with anyone. I just think that there are some things in life that don't need to be done so drastically. What do you think?"
"Finally, I noticed that Ren also had a wound on his neck. If you hold him responsible, he could also hold you responsible in return. Ultimately, both parents would be implicated, and the case could even end up in court. That would be very costly."
"Going to court means a huge expense in terms of time and money. I don't need to tell you that; you all know it. Looking back, we'll realize that it didn't have to get to that point."
By explaining the reasons and appealing to their emotions, the other party analyzed the important relationships clearly.
I have to say, this old ginger is really spicy.
Even Fang Canyang, the first victim, couldn't help but feel shaken.
Not to mention children from ordinary families like Gao Zhaoming and Huang Hui.
Subconsciously, they are used to avoiding risks. Unless necessary, they don't want to get into trouble. Stability and peace are probably their greatest pursuit.
However, there was no sign of relaxation on Ling Xuan's face.
Lin Shumo snorted lightly, his eyes filled with sarcasm.
Huo Fanjin frowned, looking thoughtful.
The growing environment and family background of these three people gave them the confidence to not cause trouble but also not be afraid of trouble.
If they encountered this kind of thing today, needless to say, Ren Xinghe would be doomed.
But if I just want to help Fang Canyang, I can't help but think about it.
After all, they had only known Fang Canyang for one day. They had neither a deep friendship nor any interests to exchange with each other, and they were not even in the same class.
It’s not that they are cold-blooded, it’s just human nature.
No one who encounters such a situation would easily stand up to help a new friend they have just met.
Only Jiang Fuyue——
Her growing environment was not good, and her family background was ordinary. She was not even as good as Gao Zhaoming, let alone being compared with Lin Shumo and Huo Fanjin.
But she stood at the front, meeting the other person's admonishing gaze, her back straight and unbending.
So firm and decisive, without a trace of hesitation.
Even though she almost became a victim, she was not Ren Xinghe's primary target after all, so there was no need to be relentless.
But she told everyone word for word——
“If crimes can be committed regardless of age, why should punishments be different?”
"If it were an adult who did this today, would Officer Zhou still offer these words of advice? I guess it would depend on the person's circumstances, like whether they're disabled or have strong backers. But aren't all people equal before the law?"
"As for the injuries on Ren Xinghe's body..."
Before Jiang Fuyue could finish, Fan Ye jumped out, speaking eloquently and clearly, "I did this because I was trying to subdue him. I didn't do this to hit him or to retaliate. I was just afraid that he would go crazy again and hurt my friends. After all, he is a dangerous person!"
"If you don't believe me, you can check the surveillance footage, the one above, and the ones on the left and right. They capture everything clearly. I call that... uh..." What was it?
Gao Zhaoming whispered, "Self-defense."
"Yes! Self-defense! So, if he holds me responsible, I'm not afraid!" Fan Ye held his head high and chest out, looking fearless.
Officer Zhou frowned and said, "Little sister, why are you meddling in this?"
"No, the red circle on his neck was caused by me grabbing his collar and strangling him." Fan Ye said seriously.
"Right, Sister Yue?"
Jiang Fuyue nodded and smiled at her.
Officer Zhou: “?” What is going on?
"Finally, regarding going to court..." Jiang Fuyue paused for a moment, "If the other party has this intention, then I will fight to the end."
Officer Zhou laughed angrily, "Little girl, staying with me till the end isn't just about words. What do you have to prove your commitment? Do your parents know?"
Jiang Fuyue: "I don't need them to know. Even if they do, it doesn't matter because I have the final say at home."
"Pfft..." This time, Officer Zhou was really amused. "You? And you still have the final say?"
What kind of joke is this?!
Jiang Fuyue frowned, not understanding where the other person's laughter came from.
Does she look like she's joking?
"Well, why don't you give me your parents' phone number? I'll call them and ask them how they think this matter should be handled."
"No need." Jiang Fuyue said in a deep voice.
Officer Zhou thought she was timid and rolled his eyes. "Since you want to hold someone accountable, this is no small matter. As the investigating officer, I must notify your guardian according to the procedures."
Jiang Fuyue's face turned completely cold. "Officer Zhou, I want you to understand one thing: I am already eighteen years old and have the ability to bear civil liability independently."
"You're just a high school student, so you still need to inform your parents. Please provide their cell phone numbers, otherwise—"
Jiang Fuyue narrowed her eyes slightly: "What else?"
Officer Zhou suddenly turned serious: "Do you think it would be difficult for the police to check someone's cell phone number?"
Jiang Fuyue sneered, the rejection was obvious, and there was even a hint of provocation in her smile.
Old Zhou was so angry that his liver hurt. He picked up the phone and waved to the young police officer to send over the transcript, which contained Jiang Fuyue's registered personal identity information.
"Hey, Xiao Xu, can you help me look up someone...? The ID number is 265... Yes, a high school student. I need her parents' contact numbers..."
Gao Zhaoming started to panic when he saw this. He pulled Huang Hui aside and whispered, "Have we made a big deal out of this? What if Sister Yue's parents are really called in? This is the capital!"
"It should be fine. Look at Sister Yue. Does she look scared?"
Gao Zhaoming looked over and the next second, he bowed in reverence from the bottom of his heart.
Jiang Fuyue was seen standing there, his expression unchanged, with a hint of sarcasm on the corner of his mouth.
Just watching quietly, without panicking, nor giving in.
After Officer Zhou asked for the number, wrote it down in his notebook, and ended the call, he went to look at Jiang Fuyue. She was still as calm and composed as ever.
This time, Lao Zhou not only had liver pain, but also chest tightness and depression that were difficult to relieve.
What's going on with these kids now?
Although he is young, he is very strong.
"Jiang Fuyue, let me ask you again, how do we resolve this? Think carefully before answering, because your answer directly determines whether this call will reach your parents' phones!"
"Are you threatening me?"
Old Zhou sighed softly, his straight back instantly hunched over, his eyes flashing with tenderness, helplessness, and a bit of kindness.
He really had no bad intentions, he just wanted to guide these children to take the right path.
Why won’t you listen?
"Little girl, don't be stubborn..."
Jiang Fuyue looked away and made her decision casually: "Then you fight."
Old Zhou: “?”
Gao Zhaoming gasped: "Is Sister Yue serious?!"
Even Lin Shumo and Ling Xuan couldn't help but look surprised.
Is she really not afraid?
"Okay, you can do it, you really can do it!" Old Zhou was so angry that he turned into a pufferfish. "Do you think I'm trying to scare you?!"
Jiang Fuyue: “Not really.” Not panicked or confused at all.
"Okay, it seems that you won't believe me unless I'm serious today!" As he said that, he picked up his phone and dialed one of the numbers.
Everyone broke out in a cold sweat for Jiang Fuyue.
Gao Zhaoming walked up to her and lowered his voice, timidly and softly saying, "Sister Yue, why don't you just forget it? It won't be good if uncle and aunt find out..."
Old Zhou was also peeking and thought to himself: This little fat guy is quite sensible. If he can persuade Jiang Fuyue to give up, he will hang up the phone immediately.
But what did he hear the next second?
Jiang Fuyue: "There's no reason to give up halfway. If you're determined to do it, then stick to it until the end."
She's still "Hello"? !
At this moment, the phone was connected——
"Hello? Hello, who is this?"
Two updates, 4,000 words! I have to finish this big plot tonight before 12:00 PM!
