While the lawyer, dressed in a formal yet simple manner, was talking to the police officer.
Lu Yibei and Ji Qingqian did not interrupt rashly.
The woman's words were concise yet effective, summarizing the entire incident in just a few words.
The case is well-organized and logically sound, and the fact that someone was injured is undeniable. As for why the perpetrator, who appears to be the victim, was so badly injured...
Perhaps checking the surveillance footage over there later will yield some results.
The lawyer didn't even need to use the art of language to argue her point; she managed to convince Cheng Mingli that he wasn't suspected of intentionally causing harm, and even earned high praise from the police officer, who called her "a true man."
As for the perpetrators, they were described as "If you can't drink, don't drink," "Shameful," and "With scoundrels like you around, how can we ensure public safety?!"
The perpetrator was seen following behind the police officer.
If I'm not mistaken, they won't have to walk the rest of the way on their own—the police officers will give them a ride in their patrol car.
After dealing with all of this, Qiao Sinian finally breathed a sigh of relief and greeted Lu Yibei and Ji Qingqian, who were watching them:
"Brother Bei, Qingqian—"
Her expression was noticeably brighter.
A huge weight was lifted off my shoulders.
She was really afraid that Cheng Mingli would stand up for her and cause some bad consequences.
The lawyer also turned to look at the two of them. Her expression was light and simple. After glancing at Lu Yibei, her gaze settled on Ji Qingqian.
It didn't stop for too long.
The lawyer's age was somewhere between "older sister" and "auntie." Judging from her features, she was actually quite young, but the fine lines around her eyes and the strands of silver in her short, black hair that hung around her ears proved that youth had already left her behind...
She told the two parties involved, "There won't be any more problems. The case has basically been settled, and you don't need to appear in court. But just in case, if the person at fault needs to file a complaint later, I will contact him, and he will contact you."
"Mm." Cheng Mingli nodded gratefully.
"Thanks."
After the formalities were completed, Qiao Sinian addressed him even more affectionately. After thanking him, she said to Lu Yibei, whose gait was slightly stiff as he walked over, "Brother Bei, the lawyer you hired is really professional and amazing."
"Ha ha."
Lu Yibei chuckled awkwardly, scratched his head, and then called out to the lawyer, "...Mom, what brings you here?"
The air seemed to freeze for a moment.
Cheng Mingli was stunned.
Qiao Sinian gasped – no, how did she suddenly become a super senior?
Wasn't it supposed to be the older sister?
Ji Qingqian, who had been quite relaxed before, immediately tensed up her fair face and entered a defensive mode.
A lawyer named Lu Chaoxi gave a brief answer:
"Liao Ziyan said you contacted her."
Liao Ziyan is a lawyer from the same firm as her, and also the "lawyer sister" that Lu Yibei had contacted before.
She was basically mentored by Ms. Lu Chaoxi when she entered the industry.
—If you know them well, you can imagine their relationship as that of Komikado and Mayuzumi Machiko.
“…Ah.” Lu Yibei even told Sister Liao that he didn’t need to tell his mother.
Unexpectedly, it was sold off immediately.
"She said there was a fight here and someone broke an arm," Lu Chaoxi said. "So I came over to check, thinking it was you."
Lu Yibei: ...
Qiao Sinian and Cheng Mingli exchanged a glance.
As expected, it's the bond between mother and child...
So touching.
Lu Chaoxi continued to look at Lu Yibei.
Lu Chaoxi's height is considered quite good for a woman from the South, at least 1.6 meters, but she looks somewhat short next to her 1.83-meter-tall son. Even when she has to look up at her son, she still exudes a powerful and imposing aura.
"Thank goodness it wasn't you, otherwise, if you could lose like this," she continued, "your dad has wasted his time teaching you."
Qiao Sinian: ...
Cheng Mingli: ...
So, you're more concerned with winning or losing after all?
He looked at his arm and felt a sense of being looked down upon.
As she spoke, Lu Chaoxi glanced at the watch on her slender wrist:
"Once it's done, remember to transfer the payment to my account. If you don't know the account number, ask Liao Ziyan."
Qiao Sinian: ...
Cheng Mingli: …………
The bond between mother and child is so deep...
I dare not move.
Lu Yibei looked at Lu Chaoxi.
Lu Chaoxi also looked at him for a few seconds, but saw that the former did not say anything, as if he found it a little boring.
She frowned and asked, "Should I take you back to school?"
Lu Yibei countered, "What time is it?"
"8:30," Lu Chaoxi said.
"Have you eaten?" Lu Yibei asked.
"I had some snacks this afternoon," Lu Chaoxi said.
"Have something to eat."
Lu Yibei said, then looked at Ji Qingqian, who seemed to be facing a formidable enemy, and smiled, "Qingqian has wanted to see you for a long time."
Lu Chaoxi glanced at Ji Qingqian, then at the time on her wrist, as if she had been thinking for a while.
"Still have work?" Lu Yibei asked.
His mother seemed to have done some calculations. She rested her arms on her hands, glanced at Ji Qingqian, and hummed in agreement.
"Perfect timing, I also have something I want to tell you."
