By evening, Zhao Zhao's family had also arrived.
Upon hearing that Zhao Zhao had been bullied, they started arguing with the Song family.
None of the Song family members were pushovers. After Xu Guiying finished scolding them, Grandpa Song took over. When Grandpa Song got tired, Grandma Song, Song Yangmin, and Song Jianmin took over.
Not only were they eloquent, but they also outnumbered their opponents.
The police had finished their questioning and sent both families to the police station, while the police remained at the brewery to continue searching for clues.
In short, Zhao Zhao's point was that Song Anmin had bullied her, forcibly molested her, and insulted women, but the evidence was insufficient, and it was untenable to accuse Song Anmin of hooliganism.
If it were a private settlement, Zhao Zhao wanted Song Anmin to take responsibility, or else he would have Song Anmin compensate her with one thousand yuan.
Upon hearing this, Song Anmin exploded, cursing Zhao Zhao for making an exorbitant demand, "It's only eight o'clock, not time to dream yet! Your reputation is worth a thousand! I was thinking of saying you ruined my reputation as a virgin and delayed my marriage! You owe me two thousand! There's no room for negotiation, no reconciliation!"
Zhao Zhao's mother pointed at Song Anmin's nose, "You have no manners! You did something like this and you still dare to make a fuss about it everywhere. Do you know how much this affects Zhao Zhao? We only took a thousand yuan from you because we worked in the same factory!"
"You old hag, shut up!"
Xu Guiying looked around; Xu Songyuan wasn't there.
Xu Guiying walked out of the police station and looked around. A short while later, Xu Songyuan brought Xiao Zhu over.
"Songyuan, where have you been... And who is this?" Xu Guiying asked, her brows furrowed.
Xiao Zhu looked pale and not in good spirits.
Xu Songyuan: "She was a kitchen helper at the brewery and saw what happened in the afternoon. With her as a witness, this matter is settled."
Xu Guiying pursed her lips and said, "Then thank you for your trouble. Let's go in first."
Xiao Zhu's appearance broke the deadlock.
Zhao Zhao never expected there would be a witness. She bit her lip, and her expression changed instantly.
Song Anmin was overjoyed.
"See? I told you! There will definitely be kind and righteous passersby to testify for me and clear my name!"
Xiao Zhu was taken into an interrogation room by the police alone. Xiao Zhu spoke frankly and expressionlessly about what happened that afternoon.
“I was peeling yams under a tree in the back kitchen, and the low bushes probably blocked their view.”
"I saw a drunken Song..."
"Song Anmin".
"Yes, Song Anmin. I saw Song Anmin come out of the cafeteria, and then a woman suddenly ran out and helped him, saying she would take him back to his dormitory."
The police officer asked, "Which direction were they going?"
"I walked towards the girls' dormitory. At the time, I was wondering why I didn't go to the boys' dormitory."
"What was Zhao Zhao's expression like at the time? Did he shout in surprise halfway through the journey?"
"No, I didn't hear it. The cultural performance just ended, and everyone is eating in the cafeteria. There are also some big leaders here today, so the cafeteria is packed. There aren't many people outside."
Now that you've asked this question, is there anything you still don't understand?
The police quickly took Xiao Zhu out.
The investigation results for this case have also been released.
Song Anmin is innocent; it's Zhao Zhao who's crying wolf.
Song Anmin sneered repeatedly, glancing at Zhao Zhao's family across from him with a mocking expression, "If you can't marry off your daughters, then reflect on yourselves, and stop blaming a good young man on them!"
Zhao Zhao's face turned a deep, purplish-red. "Stop talking!"
Song Jianmin: "We're going to say this anyway, how can you be so shameless! You've been planning this for days, haven't you? With all that free time, you could have done something else better!"
Zhao Zhao's mother then turned her attention to Xiao Zhu.
"Officer, what if it's fake? This Xiao Zhu has definitely been bribed by Song Anmin's family. We can't just believe whatever he says!"
Just then, another tall, thin policeman came in, accompanied by Zhao Zhao's two girlfriends.
When the girl was questioned, she let slip that her original plan was to take Song Anmin to the men's dormitory. But it was too late when she said it, and after being questioned a few times, she was so scared that she told the truth.
Zhao Zhao orchestrated this whole thing, hiring people to help slander Song Anmin.
Now that things have come to this, Zhao Zhao has no room for explanation.
The police took Zhao Zhao and the two accomplices to a re-education center. Maliciously framing others and disrupting public order would be punished, but considering that the victim did not suffer any actual harm, Zhao Zhao and the other two would most likely be detained for a few months and then released.
After a whole day of fussing, Song Anmin finally felt relieved when he heard these words!
"A notice must be posted tomorrow to clear my name!"
Zhao Zhao's family was shocked when they heard this. Their perfectly good daughter was just going to work, and suddenly she was going to go to jail!
Zhao Zhao's parents pleaded desperately with the police and tried to settle the matter privately with the Song family.
A private settlement is impossible.
The police have already investigated thoroughly. With laws and regulations in place, if you want to settle everything privately, then what's the point of investigating?
With this matter resolved, the Song family members all breathed a sigh of relief.
Song Anmin hadn't expected his parents to come and help him today. He gave them a fawning smile, but Xu Guiying glared at him and said, "If you know you can't hold your liquor, then drink less in the future!"
This time we've got it all figured out, but what about next time?
Song Anmin nodded quickly, "I understand, I understand."
The Song family thanked Xiao Zhu and said they would invite him to dinner at Phoenix Pavilion the next day.
Xiao Zhu shook her head and refused: "My child is still at home. Don't forget what you promised me."
As he said the last sentence, Xiao Zhu looked at Xu Songyuan.
Xu Songyuan scratched his head. "Okay, but how long will you be gone?"
Xiao Zhu: "It'll probably only be a little over a month, I'll be back soon."
...
On the way back, Xu Guiying asked Xu Songyuan, "What did you promise?"
"Xiao Zhu said she was going to the south to find her daughter's biological father and asked me to help raise her for a while, otherwise she wouldn't testify."
Song Yangmin frowned upon hearing this, "Who was that man at the North Gate during the day?"
"He said he was her brother."
