The leader, with a serious expression, led them to the hall. "Tell us in detail what happened?" The leader glanced sharply at Yu Zihan and the other two, then turned his gaze to the robbers.
"It's unfair, totally unfair. This girl is a ruthless person. They hired my brother's car to transport goods in the clothing wholesale market. Maybe they didn't pay, so my brother brought them back to our territory. Who knew that this girl was so cruel and ruthless that she not only knocked my brothers unconscious.
She even tried to steal our car. This girl is obviously a repeat offender and has excellent driving skills. We chased her all the way but couldn't catch up. I guess she had no choice but to drive the car into the police station."
The handsome man in the room almost made Yu Zihan laugh by blaming others with his words.
"Is what they say true?"
Hearing the leader's question, Yu Zihan looked at him in confusion. She thought he must be joking. He believed the robbers' illogical words. What was his purpose?
The leader felt a little uncomfortable under Yu Zihan's gaze, but he didn't show it on his face.
"Why, this question is difficult to answer?" the leader asked again.
Yu Zihan glanced at the robbers and saw that they didn't look afraid.
Is this something worth pondering? I hope it's not what she thinks.
Yu Zihan said calmly, "Which part are you asking about?" Yu Zihan did not directly answer the leader's question.
The leader hadn't expected the young woman in front of him to be so fluent in answering him. He looked at Yu Zihan again, feeling that he had encountered a powerful figure today. But he didn't care. No matter how powerful the person was, they would be the same in his hands.
"Did you knock their man unconscious?" the leader asked.
"I knocked them out in self-defense. They knocked us out first." Yu Zihan was very disgusted with the leader's way of questioning. It was obviously taking things out of context and deliberately misleading.
"I ask you questions, and all you need to do is answer yes or no." The leader's tone became even harsher.
"I won't hit anyone without a reason. I only take action when my life is threatened. Protecting one's personal safety is the right of every citizen."
Yu Zihan felt that there was something wrong with this leader. To be on the safe side, Yu Zihan exchanged a small tape recorder through the space. She wanted to be a villain. She didn't trust the person in front of her now.
"I didn't expect you to be such a sharp-tongued girl. I underestimated you. But once you enter here, no matter how clever you are, it will be useless." There was an obvious threat in these words.
Even Pei Shuyan and Zhou Bingxuan realized that something was wrong.
"This is the Public Security Bureau, a place that protects citizens' personal safety, personal freedom, and personal rights. How could I, as a legal citizen, be harmed by robbers outside? We risked our lives to come here to seek protection. Do I need to be clever here? Don't I deserve protection?"
As Yu Zihan spoke these words, she glanced around, and everyone she caught her gaze couldn't help but look away. Based on this detail, Yu Zihan had every reason to believe that there was a problem here—more precisely, there was a big problem with this leader.
"Is it your right to knock someone out? Is it your right to drive without a license? Is it your right to rob someone's car?" When the leader heard Yu Zihan's words, he knew that this was a person with some background, but no matter how much background he had, they were still outsiders. Couldn't he handle these young kids in his own little place?
"It's easy to find a pretext to accuse someone of a crime. According to your logic, we deserve to be knocked unconscious, we deserve to be robbed and even raped by them, we should surrender, and we should be grateful to them, right?" The leader's words aroused the rage in Yu Zihan's heart.
"You are just making up stories. Lock them up and wait until they are calm before interrogating them." The leader was speechless after hearing what Yu Zihan said, but he didn't care. It was just a little kid. He had many stubborn people in Jianguo. If he starved them for a few days and then interrogated them with professional methods, few of them would not bow their heads honestly.
Yu Zihan knew that this guy was determined to make them admit to these false charges, so this person must be one of the robbers' protectors.
Perhaps he had an even worse idea, which was to accuse them of more serious crimes. You know, crimes like intentional injury and robbery of motor vehicles can result in the death penalty.
"I am solely responsible for my actions. They are both innocent. They were still unconscious when they arrived here. Can you please let them out?"
Yu Zihan thought, as long as the two of them go out, they will go to inform Dad. Isn't Dad's friend here? Then they can ask him for help.
The leader seemed to understand Yu Zihan's thoughts. He smiled slightly. This smile was the only time the man had smiled since they entered here.
"The little girl is not only eloquent but also quite intelligent, but you haven't used your intelligence properly. Don't think about those nonsense. Do you want them to go out and report the news?
Don't think about it. When the case is over, you will naturally be given the opportunity to meet your parents."
He kept staring at Yu Zihan after he finished speaking, as if he wanted to see fear or terror in her expression. But he was disappointed. Instead of fear, her face showed a hint of mockery.
Not only did her face not have the expression he wanted to see, but even Pei Shuyan and Zhou Bingxuan beside her did not have the slightest fear on their faces. Instead, they had anger on their faces.
"Haha, that's quite interesting." He thought to himself, there are two types of people with this kind of mentality: one is ignorant and fearless, and the other is someone with strong backing. Could it be that he really hit a wall this time?
This thought only flashed through his mind. He was very confident that nothing would happen to him here, and even if something did happen, he could handle it. The person behind him was no pushover.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but scold himself for overthinking it. They were just a few students, but he really took them seriously. If he fell into trouble with them, wouldn't all these years of his life be in vain?
At this moment, Yu Zihan's mind was working rapidly. She thought about how she had not called home to report her safety as soon as she arrived here. She had originally planned to call home from the hotel in the evening after purchasing the goods, but this incident happened.
Since this man was determined not to let them go, her only option now was to find a way to delay time. She believed that if her father hadn't received her call to let her know he was safe for three days, he would definitely find a way to contact her.
Thinking of this, she said to the leader-like man, "Do you think we are from outsiders and are so unscrupulous in accusing us of crimes? We are from the Imperial Capital. My father is Pei Xiao, the president of the Foreign Languages College of Imperial Capital University. My second uncle, third uncle, and my grandfather are also well-known figures in the Imperial Capital.
I am not telling you their names to show off or boast, I am just telling you that with a family like ours, what reason do I have to rob people?
I also want to tell you that our trip to Pengcheng was approved by our family, and they knew the purpose of our visit, so it was easy for them to investigate our whereabouts after we disappeared."
After Yu Zihan said this, she looked at the leader.
