“Teacher Li, I don’t know why they said that. I really don’t know them, let alone this man. I reasonably suspect that they want to traffic women. I don’t know where they got my information, but they want to abduct me back and force me to marry and have children.”
As they were talking, several men in police uniforms walked through the crowd.
"Who called the police?"
"It's me!" Chu Yu said calmly. "These people suddenly rushed up to me, claiming to be from my hometown and that I was this man's wife. They wanted to forcibly take me home to marry him and have children. But I don't know these people at all. I reasonably suspect that they are trafficking women. I hope the police will take them back and investigate them thoroughly."
The police were stunned. How safe is Beijing? Under the emperor's nose, how dare they traffic women?
If this gets caught, there will be severe punishment!
The police officer frowned and asked, "You really don't recognize them?"
Chu Yu stated firmly: "I really don't know him!"
Ai Fang had mentioned to Chu Yu that Jiang Meifeng and Zhou Chufei would be running away tomorrow. Ai Fang saw a train ticket to the south on Zhou Jian'an's desk, so the information should be reliable.
If Ai Fang is right, then Jiang Meifeng wanted to teach Chu Yu a lesson before going to Hong Kong.
Chu Yu decided to play along and deny knowing them.
Chu Yu's household registration had been transferred a long time ago; Dai Donglin had used his connections to help her with it, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to buy a house in Beijing.
Her household registration page only shows her own name. As long as she denies it, the police will not be able to find out her relationship with Jiang Meifeng.
Even if they could find it, there's no internet these days, and the police would have to make a trip to Zhoujia Village to verify the information.
This round trip will take at least one or two weeks.
After the information was verified, Jiang Meifeng was released. She had already missed her chance to escape, and Chu Yu's plan to make Zhou Jian'an and Zhou Fangchun's scheme fall through.
Seeing that things were not going well, Jiang Meifeng panicked completely. "Officer, her name is Zhou Chuyu, and she's my granddaughter! The real deal! Even though my son and her mother are divorced, she's still a member of the Zhou family. I can marry her off to whomever I want! Even if the King of Heaven himself came, that would still be the case!"
The police officer frowned. "You're saying she's your granddaughter? What proof do you have?"
"I……"
Jiang Meifeng was stunned. Chu Yu's household registration had been moved long ago. Even if it hadn't, the rural population census wasn't conducted very seriously these days, and there were many cases of incorrect or missing household registrations.
Chu Yu's original household registration was not on the Zhou family's household registration book.
At that time, Jiang Meifeng thought that since she was just a girl, it was fine if she didn't exist. She could even change her age to be a couple of years earlier so she could get married and receive a dowry.
"I'm her grandmother, do I need to prove that?"
Jiang Meifeng's eyes widened, and she tried to imitate the tricks from her hometown, sitting on the ground and throwing a tantrum to make the police afraid of her.
But the police officer had a dark and serious expression, so Jiang Meifeng didn't dare to cause a scene.
"Of course you need to prove it. You claim to be her grandmother and want her to drop out of school and go home to get married, but you can't produce any evidence. If I let you take her away today, next time, anyone can come to Tsinghua University or any university in Beijing to arrest someone! I'm warning you, everything requires evidence. This girl, in terms of her clothes, appearance, and demeanor, doesn't resemble your granddaughter at all. If you can't produce evidence, I'll take you back to the station for questioning on charges of 'trafficking in women'!"
The police knew exactly how to scare uneducated rural women like this, and sure enough, after he finished speaking, Jiang Meifeng was completely speechless.
Should one go to jail for failing to produce evidence?
They had enough time and never even thought about getting their household registration.
Besides, Chu Yu's household registration isn't with Old Zhou's family!
I thought this place was like the countryside, where I could just find a few people to cause trouble and a strong man to scare them away.
But Beijing is Beijing, and Tsinghua University is Tsinghua University; these are not things that can be resolved with the old-fashioned methods used in the countryside.
Jiang Meifeng was so frightened that she dared not speak loudly and began to feign pitifulness:
"Officer, I don't have... any evidence. But I really am her grandmother. This granddaughter is ungrateful and abandoned me in the countryside. What's wrong with me coming to find her and bring her home?"
"No evidence?" The police officer's face darkened completely. "You have no evidence? Then what about these two? Do you have evidence to prove she's her aunt? Do you have evidence to prove you're her man? You've got a marriage certificate, do you have any written agreement?"
Zhou Huilan was so frightened that she shook her head repeatedly. Bao Jiadong didn't dare to offend the Beijing Public Security Bureau either, and he shrank back and didn't say a word like a grandson.
"If you don't speak, then there's nothing to say! Do you even know what the crime of trafficking women is in Beijing? The country is cracking down on all kinds of crimes right now, and you're already going against the grain at this critical juncture, but you even want to traffic college students who are being nurtured by the state. I think you should come with me and confess your crimes so that the students can be cleared of any wrongdoing."
The police officers, speaking in a stern voice and dressed in uniform, frightened Zhou Huilan and Jiang Meifeng, who were inexperienced in such matters, so much that they trembled.
"I...I...I'm not lying, I really am her grandmother!"
“I’m her aunt, look at me, I look exactly like her!”
Zhang Ying rolled her eyes. "Pah! You two are shameless! My Chu Yu is so beautiful, how does she look like either of you? How does she look alike at all? You're obviously lying, and you still won't admit it!"
As long as Chu Yu doesn't admit it, Zhou Fangchun and Jiang Meifeng can't be cleared of wrongdoing.
Jiang Meifeng was indignant. As the police pushed her forward, she turned back and shouted:
"Zhou Chuyu, you bitch, how dare you frame us! I'll have your dad break your legs when we get back!"
Her father? Chu Yu almost laughed. She had long since severed ties with Zhou Jian'an and the Zhou family. Where did she get a father?
Even at this point, Jiang Meifeng was still daydreaming. She smiled at the police officer:
