Chapter 228 Getting Oranges
Attempted coercion and coercion are two different concepts, and the penalties they will apply in interstellar law will also be different.
Wen Jin'ai understood this principle as well. After being shocked that Qiao Mei would suddenly appear here, she subconsciously summoned her familiar beast, the little white wolf, intending to attack her.
"Don't try to scare me. Do you have the guts to call the police? You're already an outcast of the Xu family. If you call the police, aren't you afraid of retaliation from my family against you and your mother?"
She didn't believe Qiao Mei would dare to do such a thing. After glancing at the "little black dragon" wrapped around Qiao Mei's neck, she sneered and ordered the little white wolf to go.
Qiao Mei's grades had always been in the lower middle range of the class. Wen Jin'ai was very confident that Qiao Mei would definitely not last three moves against her.
But before she could make a move, Qiao Mei acted first.
However, the person she used her lightning-based superpowers to attack was not her, but Xu Zecheng.
The rope in Xu Zecheng's hand was made of metal, and it quickly turned into powder after being struck by lightning.
"Really? Then take a look, what is this?"
Once Qiao Mei was certain that Xu Zecheng's hands and feet had been freed and that he was capable of dealing with Wen Jin'ai, she projected the contents of her quantum brain bracelet into the air so that Wen Jin'ai could see them clearly.
Xu Zecheng knew that Wen Jin'ai had the antidote. Despite the heat and discomfort in his body, he summoned his little white wolf, who was also of the metal element. His eyes were already filled with murderous intent as he looked at Wen Jin'ai.
"Wen Jin'ai, are people from Orchid Star meant to be humiliated by you aristocratic scions?!"
The boy's low shout drew Wen Jin'ai's attention. She was still shocked that Qiao Mei had actually called the police when, in the next moment, she saw a dagger formed from the superpowers of the Gold-type Familiar stabbing towards her.
Seeing this, Qiao Mei remembered how Xu Zecheng had helped her before. She gathered a ball of lightning in her right hand, formed it into the shape of a shield, and blocked the dagger in front of it, while reminding him.
"Are you sure you want to do this? If the dagger really goes into her body, you will also be sentenced, turning from a victim into a perpetrator. You will also have no chance of continuing to study at the Federal Academy. What you need to do now is get the antidote from her."
Xu Zecheng's face had turned a deep purplish-red.
She didn't know what kind of drug it was, but just looking at it made Qiao Mei feel uncomfortable.
If this remains unresolved, it's likely that a major problem will arise, just as Wen Jin'ai's lackeys previously predicted.
The commotion inside was quite loud. The lackeys who had been hiding outside had also rushed in, but they were still standing at the doorway.
They discovered that Qiao Mei was inside, and Xu Zecheng's hands and feet had also been freed.
Several of the lackeys who had previously helped tie up Xu Zecheng, but were kicked several times and were still in pain, quickly fled upon seeing this.
Only a few lackeys were left to guard the door, and they asked Wen Jin'ai what to do now?
"What else can we do? Hurry up and come help me! Even if something happens to me today, I won't let Xu Zecheng get away with it. Aren't the lowly people of Orchid Star very concerned about the continuation of their lineage? If he doesn't get his hands on this antidote today, I'm 100% sure that even if he survives by sheer luck, he can forget about having any more children for the rest of his life!"
Originally, Wen Jin'ai was more unhappy with Qiao Mei.
But now, seeing that Xu Zecheng actually wanted to kill her, and that his beast companion had bitten her little white wolf's neck until it bled, she was immediately enraged, her mind filled with thoughts of how to kill him.
Although the lackeys are not very strong, they outnumber the men. If they really come and cause trouble, there might be some problems.
Qiao Mei called out to them, "Are you really sure you want to come and help? I've already called the police, and the interstellar police will be here soon. Judging from this, you want to go into the orange grove with Wen Jin'ai?"
While saying this, Qiao Mei secretly recorded the conversation using her smartwatch, so that she could identify the accomplices later.
Upon hearing this, they indeed hesitated.
Some of the more timid ones turned and ran away, while two or three lackeys who wanted to get more benefits from Wen Jin'ai boldly stepped forward and released their familiars.
Qiao Mei glanced at where Ao Cang was. While Wen Jin'ai was still entangled with Xu Zecheng, she had Ao Cang transform into a little black dragon. She planned to use the little black dragon to stop a few lackeys.
"Cangcang, use the electric ball! Expand the electric ball as much as possible, ideally forming a barrier that can sever them from Xu Zecheng and the others!"
Now that Ao Cang has recovered much of his divine power, his strength as a familiar beast has also increased considerably, so this request is no big deal for him.
They quickly did as Qiao Mei asked, releasing several electric balls from the dragon's claws to block them.
The Federal Academy is the best academy in the entire galaxy, and of course, there is a police station nearby.
So almost ten minutes after Qiao Mei called the police, the main force of the interstellar police arrived at the location in their spacecraft and found the place by following the location Qiao Mei had sent.
"Stop moving, Space Police!! Cease your attacks immediately!!"
Not long after the interstellar police appeared, they set up special animal-catching nets to trap the familiar beasts belonging to Qiao Mei and her companions.
As for the masters of these beast companions, they were taken away one by one by the interstellar police and put on spacecraft.
The arrival of the interstellar police was no small matter. Almost immediately after Qiao Mei and her friends arrived at the interstellar police station, their homeroom teacher, Sai Qin, followed them there.
When Sai Qin saw Xu Zecheng still receiving medical treatment, he anxiously asked about his condition.
The doctor was startled when he saw Sai Qin, who had a demonic face, approaching. Only after Sai Qin said that he was a teacher at the Federal Academy did the doctor give him a strange look and briefly explain Xu Zecheng's condition.
"He was injected with a strong estrus drug. If he had been brought here any later, he might have died."
"Aphrodisiac? Who injected him with it?"
Sai Qin was stunned and wanted to ask more questions, but the doctor said that it was not their responsibility and that he should ask the interstellar police.
Wen Jin'ai and Qiao Mei were both from unusual backgrounds. Not long after they were taken to the police station, the Wen and Xu families received news of their arrival.
Upon learning that Qiao Mei had entered the orange orchard, Xu Hui, unable to continue her work, quickly called Li Chonghua and hurriedly piloted the aircraft to the location.
"Where is my Xiaomei? What did she do wrong?"
Inside the police station, the police were still interrogating Qiao Mei and her family. Seeing that Xu Hui, the parent, had arrived so quickly, they calmed her down and told her to wait outside. They said they would tell her what had happened after the interrogation was over.
Xu Hui couldn't sit still any longer. When she noticed that the Wen family had also arrived, her heart skipped a beat. She quickly contacted Old Master Xu again and told him about the matter.
At this moment, Li Chonghua also arrived late. Seeing that Xu Hui's eyes were red from nervousness, he stepped forward to wipe the moisture from the corners of her eyes and told her not to worry unnecessarily.
"We don't know Xiao Mei's personality yet; she's unlikely to do anything too outrageous. On the contrary, it's the Wen family..."
Xu Zecheng: I'm furious! Are honest people just meant to be bullied?!
