"We really didn't follow you on purpose—really, running into Nan Yao was just a coincidence..."
"What? You're saying it's fraud? No, no, no, Nan Yao lent us the money willingly before. We, we'll pay it back—we'll pay it back, okay? Officer, we'll pay you back, can you please not arrest me?"
"...They're asking how we knew about Nan Yao's movements, how we met her? Well, well..."
The once well-behaved delinquent suddenly became hesitant and stammering, his guilty expression clearly indicating that he had something to hide.
The police officer in charge of the interrogation knew they wouldn't dare to talk unless they were intimidated, so he slammed his hand on the table and demanded sternly, "Be honest, now talk!"
The delinquent shuddered in fear, and with a mournful face, he had no choice but to betray his boss: "I...I'll listen to Brother Long, he heard it from Nan Weixia...yes, Nan Weixia!"
The police asked, "Who is Nan Weixia? Who is Brother Long? Why did they let you get close to Nan Yao?"
The delinquent teenagers asked ingratiatingly, "Officer, if we tell you, will you let us go? Resisting will be punished severely, confessing will be treated leniently. We're turning ourselves in, right?"
"Stop talking nonsense! Still trying to fool us? Do you know that you are suspected of robbery? According to Article 263 of the Criminal Law, anyone who robs public or private property by violence, coercion, or other means shall be prosecuted! The sentencing is determined by the court, but the minimum sentence is three to ten years imprisonment!"
The delinquents' legs went weak, and they pleaded tearfully, "No, no, we'll tell you, okay? It's Nan Weixia. Brother Long is our big brother, he likes Nan Weixia, and Nan Weixia was bullied by Nan Yao, so Brother Long told us to get revenge on Nan Yao and avenge Nan Weixia..."
“Brother Long is the mastermind, and we're just accomplices... The things about knowing Nan Yao's whereabouts were all told to us by Brother Long. He got them from Nan Weixia. He knew where Nan Yao went and how much money he had on him. Brother Long told us all that, so we just... we just went along the way..."
"We didn't force Nan Yao, really! We just stole a little money; it's not robbery, it's more like cheating..."
"Time? It's been about two years, hasn't it? Didn't Nan Yao only return to the Nan family two years ago? It's said that she bullied Nan Weixia after she came home, and Nan Weixia cried at school all day long. Brother Long felt sorry for her and told us to settle the score with Nan Yao..."
Hearing the police relay what the thugs had said, Nan's mother's face turned ashen!
"Nan Weixia—that's her sister! How could she do this! Colluding with thugs to bully you? How dare she—how dare she!"
Nan's mother was so angry that her vision blurred. Luo's mother held her arm to comfort her, and the police in the reception room quickly poured her water.
"Madam Nan, please calm down. Have some water and let's talk things out."
"Yes, maybe it's a misunderstanding?"
They said it was a misunderstanding, but the police officers sighed inwardly, thinking, how could this possibly be a misunderstanding?
The Nan Weixia mentioned by the thugs is clearly a suspect—she was wronged and liked to cry. Although she said that Brother Long didn't need to do anything, it was just a momentary impulse on her part, and she wasn't really bullied.
But young men are full of vigor and passion. How could they bear to see the girl they like crying and complaining about her grievances?
In a fit of anger, it was only natural for him to send his underlings to deal with Nan Yao!
But this is, after all, a family matter for the Nan family, and it's not appropriate for them to get involved.
Moreover, according to the thugs, Nan Weixia was just complaining to Brother Long. It was Brother Long who actually instigated the bullying of Nan Yao. Legally speaking, Nan Weixia was not the mastermind and should not even be held responsible.
However, if the law cannot punish them, how can their relatives possibly let them go?
