Lan Xing stood protectively beside the two, while Meng Wan placed her hand on Cui Qingling's pulse.
The woman panicked and took a few steps back.
“I really didn’t push her, she has a heart condition… her heart condition is none of my business.”
"Girl, how are you?" Chen Xiong asked.
"What's going on?" Seeing one problem after another, the policeman frowned.
"She broke my friend's phone, and instead of paying for it, she pushed my friend. My friend just had a heart transplant not long ago. What if something happens to her!" Lan Xing said anxiously, her eyes slightly red.
"I didn't push her! I just raised my hand and she fell down on her own. I at most... at most I just touched her lightly."
"Didn't you say you didn't touch it? How come you touched it lightly again?" Ji Sheng seized on the loophole in her words in an instant.
"Wanwan..." In the midst of the stalemate, Cui Qingling woke up, her voice very soft, so soft that Meng Wan had to put her lips close to hers to hear her.
"Qingling, how are you?"
Cui Qingling shook her head, "If they compensate me for the phone repair costs, then I'll let it go, otherwise..."
"I'll pay! I'll pay! Twenty thousand or thirty thousand, I'll pay!" The woman hurriedly said, afraid of being extorted for an even bigger sum.
"You all heard that, right? She said it herself: I paid the phone bill and I won't pursue it anymore! The card... the card has exactly 30,000 yuan, here you go, it's none of my business!"
The woman was clearly panicked. Liu Chao was being held down by Liu Cong and could only watch helplessly as the woman threw the bank card at Cui Qingling.
"What did you say? Is the person alright?"
"Since Qingling has said so... we won't pursue it any further. Let's take her to rest for a while and get her checked out."
Meng Wan and Lan Xing carefully helped Cui Qingling up. The latter was pale and her lips were bloodless, looking as if she might collapse at any moment.
"Alright, all of you come with me. Don't cause trouble all the time!" The policeman glanced at Cui Qingling, then looked at the two of them, his tone no longer so gentle.
A group of people left with the police, leaving only their group of five friends.
As soon as they left, Lan Xing and Meng Wan released Cui Qingling, who stood steadily despite looking like she was about to fall to the ground at any moment.
"You scared me to death! I thought you were really not feeling well. If Wanwan hadn't secretly tugged at me, I would have punched that couple one by one."
Lan Xing panicked when Cui Qingling collapsed. Fortunately, Meng Wan reacted quickly and took the opportunity to check Cui Qingling's pulse while supporting her. After confirming that there was no problem, she immediately comforted Lan Xing.
In just a few seconds, the three worked together in perfect unison, leaving everyone completely stunned.
"Isn't this just trying to scam people? Let them experience what it's like to be scammed. It's just a pity that repairing the phone will cost twenty or thirty thousand." Cui Qingling glanced at her phone, but there was no regret on her face.
If the couple were only targeting Meng Zhili, she wouldn't have acted this way, but since Meng Wan was involved, it was a different story. Although it wasn't appropriate to go too far, she could still use some underhanded tactics to make them lose more than they gained.
Twenty or thirty thousand? Let's see who pays that amount!
Cui Qingling lowered her head and turned the bank card, a smile playing on her lips. When she looked up again, she had an innocent and harmless expression.
"Want to go out for dinner?" She waved her bank card, a sly glint in her eyes.
Meng Wan chuckled, "Alright, let's go."
The three walked in front, while the two men followed silently behind.
"Is this the end of it?" Ji Sheng asked tentatively.
"Is this the end? Let someone investigate first." Yan Nian's words carried a hidden meaning.
"You know Meng Wan was faking her tears, yet you're still so serious about it?"
Yan Nian stopped and looked Ji Sheng up and down, which made the latter feel a little uneasy.
"What are you doing?"
"If Lan Xing was faking her tears, you'll just let it go?"
Ji Sheng raised an eyebrow and made a zipper-like motion.
Let it go? Impossible! Whether she was really crying or not, in his eyes, she was crying, and that meant she was wronged! Let it go? Why should he let it go!
The group ate and drank as usual, seemingly having moved on from the matter. Meanwhile, at the police station, a group of people didn't emerge until nightfall.
Whether it was a coincidence or not, Meng Wan called as soon as the group came out.
Meng Zhiyuan said something to Meng Zhili and went to a corner to answer the phone.
Meanwhile, Liu Cong led his wife and son to Chen Xiong and Meng Zhili.
"Apologize to Zhili right now!"
Liu Cong slapped Liu Chao on the head with considerable force, but Liu Chao, in pain, didn't dare to retaliate.
"I'm sorry, we shouldn't have been greedy for small gains."
As he spoke, he tugged at the woman and bowed with her.
Meng Zhili turned to the side, neither accepting the gift nor speaking.
"Zhili, I'm really sorry about what happened today. They haven't read many books and all they do is try to do these crooked things. I'll definitely teach them a lesson when I get back. And Grandpa Chen, why did you come all this way? I'll definitely visit you another day to apologize."
"There's no need for a personal apology; let's keep things separate."
Having said that, Liu Cong naturally wouldn't try to take the blame himself any longer.
"It's getting late, so I'll be going now. Would you like me to call you a taxi or..."
"No need, I drove over." Meng Zhiyuan finished his call and walked over.
"Alright, then I won't bother you any longer."
By the end of the day, Liu Cong's patience was almost exhausted. Although there were caregivers at the hospital looking after the old man and he was fine now, he still had to go and check on him. It was all those two idiots' fault for always causing him trouble!
