Chapter 601 A Price Must Be Paid
The police could tell at a glance that Mr. Feng was definitely not an ordinary person.
But this is not something he can explain or just say in a few words.
He said to Mr. Feng, "Mr. Feng, I understand how you feel, but we need to investigate this case further before we can hold anyone accountable. Please be patient and cooperate with our police work."
"Do you still need to investigate? My daughter is lying in the hospital, still unconscious, her life hanging in the balance. The culprit is standing right in front of you. Tell me, what else do you need to investigate? Shouldn't we be following the normal legal procedures?"
The police officer said helplessly, "Mr. Feng, even if we were to convict her, it would take time. Moreover, this matter involves more than just her; your daughter might be involved as well. So please give us some more time, and we will definitely investigate as soon as possible."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Feng immediately became displeased. "My daughter is the victim. What responsibility should she bear? Tell me, if it were your daughter who was stabbed for no reason at school, would you still be able to stand here calmly?"
Mr. Feng's aggressive words left the police speechless.
Qiao Xing, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke up.
"Mr. Feng, hello, I am Lin Xi's sister. We spoke on the phone before, so you should remember me."
Qiao Xing's tone was polite enough, but that politeness was just for show.
Regardless of whether Lin Xi is at fault or not, before the matter is thoroughly investigated, Lin Xi is definitely more likely to be at fault.
Therefore, even though Qiao Xing knew Mr. Feng's identity and what kind of person she was.
But at this moment, she had to pretend to be polite when speaking to Mr. Feng.
Mr. Feng glanced at Qiao Xing, then snorted coldly, "I don't care who you are, and I don't need any explanation from you. Your sister hurt my daughter, so she must pay the price."
Upon hearing this, Lin Xi unconsciously tightened her grip on Qiao Xing's arm.
She knew that Feng Jiao's family was very wealthy and that she was an only child.
Her parents were often away from home due to work, so they always felt indebted to Feng Jiao, which is why they spoiled her.
So no matter how much Feng Jiao bullied others at school, in her parents' eyes, she was still their most beloved daughter.
Given Mr. Feng's abilities, he might actually have the power to put her in jail.
Lin Xi herself didn't care, but what she feared most was that it would implicate Qiao Xing.
Qiao Xing patted Lin Xi's arm silently, then said to Mr. Feng without changing his expression, "Mr. Feng is right. Your daughter is a victim, and we can't let her suffer like this for nothing. I think Mr. Feng is a reasonable person who won't make trouble unnecessarily. So please give the police some more time. Once the matter is cleared up, my sister will definitely not shirk the responsibility she should bear."
She paused, then added, "But if your daughter also bears responsibility for this, Mr. Feng, please resolve the issue according to the police's decision."
Mr. Feng subconsciously opened his mouth as if to refute Qiao Xing's words, but the words stuck in his throat.
Perhaps because Qiao Xing's words left him with no room for error, if he were to refute them, he would be suspected of deliberately favoring Feng Jiao, which would also make him lose face.
After thinking it over, Mr. Feng finally said to Qiao Xing, "Alright, let's see whose responsibility it is!"
The police officer next to him finally breathed a sigh of relief. "You can go back and wait for news. We'll let you know when there's any progress in the case."
Mr. Feng snorted coldly and then turned and left.
Qiao Xing and Lin Xi followed closely behind. Lin Xi saw the car Mr. Feng was driving. Although she didn't recognize what kind of car it was, she knew that it was not cheap at all.
"Sister, Feng Jiao's family is very wealthy. What if they try to settle this with money...?"
Qiao Xing smiled and said, "Xi Xi, I've told you, it's not your fault. Don't admit it. They can use money to change the outcome, but they can't change the facts. Just remember, in this matter, you are the victim, understand?"
Lin Xi bit her lip and nodded gently, "I understand."
Qiao Xing sighed inwardly; she didn't really understand.
Although she has bravely taken that step, she is still indecisive and hesitant in many things.
Even after Lin Xi leaves school and enters society, she will still be bullied by those same people.
A taxi stopped in front of the police station. Wang Qin, her eyes red, ran out of the car and excitedly ran over, "Xi Xi!"
Upon seeing Wang Qin, Lin Xi's tears immediately streamed down her face uncontrollably. "Mom..."
"My dear child, what happened? My teacher called and said you hurt someone at school and were taken away by the police. What exactly happened?"
Qiao Xing comforted her. "It's alright, the matter hasn't been investigated yet, Xixi will be fine for now, don't worry."
Wang Qin breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that Lin Xi was truly unharmed, but at the same time, she couldn't help but worry, "Xingxing, what exactly happened? I heard that the child is still seriously injured in the hospital and hasn't woken up yet. What if her parents cause a scene, then we..."
Qiao Xing thought to herself, "It's good that they're making a scene; I'm afraid they won't."
Wang Qin's personality is too fragile. After thinking about it, Qiao Xing decided not to tell her what had happened and to wait until the results came out.
She said, "I said nothing would happen, and nothing will happen. Take Xixi back now, take a few days off from the cake shop, take good care of Xixi, and take her out shopping more often. Don't keep her cooped up at home all the time."
Although Wang Qin really wanted to know what had happened, Qiao Xing had her reasons for not telling her, so she didn't ask and just kept nodding, "I understand."
Qiao Xing reached out and patted Lin Xi's head. "Alright, go back now. Get a good night's sleep. Don't think about anything until things are resolved, understand?"
"Hmm... I've got it."
Qiao Xing waved to the two of them, "Go back."
Wang Qin took Xi Xi's hand, and the two turned around. After taking two steps forward, Wang Qin suddenly stopped.
She turned around again, looked at Qiao Xing, hesitated for a moment, and said to Qiao Xing, "Xingxing, you've been exhausted these past two days. You need to rest well when you get back, otherwise the baby and you won't be able to take it."
Wang Qin originally wanted to thank Qiao Xing, but she swallowed the words back.
She begged her for help. She knew that Qiao Xing was pregnant and shouldn't have to go through all this trouble, but she still asked her because she believed that Qiao Xing wouldn't refuse.
