The novel website. Linghu Lan's calm and composed demeanor left the police speechless for a moment.
There were no security cameras in the coffee shop's private room, so only the parties involved know the truth. Now, everyone has their own reasons, and there's generally no other way to handle this kind of case except for mediation. If mediation fails, we can only suggest that they go through legal proceedings and file a lawsuit.
Inside the mediation room.
Tang Xinyou's eyes reddened when she saw Linghu Lan.
The police officer looked at the two of them and said, "You both have your reasons for this. We don't know the facts right now. However, it's better to resolve conflicts than to let them fester. I think you should both compromise and not be too forceful. Let's sit down and discuss a solution. What do you think?"
Before he could finish speaking, Tang Xinyou interrupted him. "It was clearly her who hit me! Which of you saw that she was in the right? She hit me all over with coins six or seven times, and you're just trying to smooth things over like this?"
The police officer was momentarily speechless. What was the difference between throwing coins at someone and children playing house? However, he still asked in a deep voice, "Where else on your body do you have wounds?"
"My knees, wrists, and ankles... my knees still hurt!" Tang Xinyou said, and for some reason, she felt a little strange.
A policewoman said, "Ms. Tang, I saw your wounds earlier, and some other marks on your body. They look like you were tied up with rope. Are you sure it was this time?"
Tang Xinyou's face flushed red with anger. Her current boyfriend did indeed have rather unusual tastes; they had just done it a few days ago.
Linghu Lan's eyes lit up, and she instantly understood what the police officer meant.
Wow, my plastic flower sisters are really something!
The policewoman continued, "The wound on your lip is definitely from hitting the door. The coffee shop staff also heard the impact sound, so we can't be sure it was the other party who did it. Moreover, we listened to Ms. Linghu's recording. In the recording, she reminded you to watch your step, which means you accidentally stepped on something and slipped, causing you to hit the door. So, Ms. Tang, now you either have to accept mediation or you'll have to go to court."
"A recording? What recording?" Tang Xinyou's heart tightened, and she gripped her bag tightly.
Linghu Lan spoke up. "The recording I made... it's a recording of how you harmed me back then, how you stood by and watched me die."
"Linghu Lan, you are so despicable!" Tang Xinyou was furious.
Linghu Lan couldn't help but laugh. Hearing the word "despicable" uttered by such a despicable person was strangely ironic. "Tang Xinyou, let's say what we have to say in court. There's no need to waste our breath here."
She turned to the police and said softly, "Go to court! It's time for me to take my medicine; I need to go home and take it."
Tang Xinyou's face paled, and a wave of panic washed over her. Suddenly, she regretted coming out to see Linghu Lan today. Her eyes darkened, and she wanted to pull one last bluff. "Linghu Lan, apologize to me, and I'll let you go today."
Linghu Lan stared directly at Tang Xinyou, her gaze like an endless black hole. "Thanks! But I don't intend to let you go."
I have no intention of letting you go!
Every word struck Tang Xinyou's heart like a hammer blow, and for a moment, she actually believed that Linghu Lan could really do it.
Linghu Lan smiled, opened the door, and left.
The police officer glanced at Tang Xinyou: "You really can't judge a book by its cover. This girl looks so safe and harmless, but she has such a sleazy and dirty past."
"Miss Tang, you can leave now."
