Nonsense, blatant lies, slander, utterly incomprehensible...
Yu was furious and shouted, "How can you say that? Do you know how many injuries I suffered to help and rescue you? You...!"
"Pah! You take our money to eat and drink, isn't working your job your right?"
To the man in the suit, being a savior was just a job.
Upon hearing this, Yu felt a chill in her heart.
Looking around, eight or nine out of ten people praised it.
In their eyes, the savior was just a wage earner.
Absurd, ridiculous.
After a long altercation, police and reporters arrived at the scene.
"Officer, you've come at the right time. Please arrest these two saviors and that bitch next to them. They are all guilty." The man in the suit told the police about Ji Xiaoxiao and the others' crimes, saying that Ji Xiaoxiao had injured someone and that Yu and Lin had failed to help.
People generally sympathize with the weak. The police listened only to the man in the suit and, without asking any questions about Ji Xiaoxiao and the other two, took out handcuffs to lock them up and prepared to send the "suspects" to the police station.
"Evil will be punished, and good will be rewarded." The man in the suit smiled brightly.
Ji Xiaoxiao hated men in suits who became arrogant and conceited after gaining power. She dodged the police handcuffs and kicked the man in the suit away.
“Now that I’ve hurt someone, you can handcuff me.” Ji Xiaoxiao stretched out her hands.
"you……."
"What do you mean, 'you'? Someone like you can be a policeman? I bet there are countless wrongful convictions and miscarriages of justice in this world." Ji Xiaoxiao spat in the policeman's face.
"You still dare to argue? You'll be in for a world of hurt when you get to the police station."
The policeman ruthlessly handcuffed Ji Xiaoxiao, who obediently surrendered, as did Yu and Lin.
Those present watched Ji Xiaoxiao and the others get into the police car and laughed happily.
It took half an hour to get there before the police stopped in front of the police station.
Because this case concerns the savior, the police chief—also known as Mei Taohua—will personally preside over the trial.
When Mei Taohua arrived at the interrogation room, she immediately noticed the three people inside. Ji Xiaoxiao, with her mask and hat on her head, looked like a country bumpkin.
Mei Taohua glanced at them a few more times without making it obvious before sitting down opposite Ji Xiaoxiao and the others.
"Miss, please take off your mask and hat."
After Mei Taohua came in, Ji Xiaoxiao regretted getting involved in this matter.
After hesitating for a while, Ji Xiaoxiao, urged silently by Mei Taohua, took off her mask and hat.
The sound of the chair scraping against the floor was grating and annoying.
"Ruoran, how could it be you?" Mei Taohua exclaimed in surprise.
Ji Xiaoxiao gave a dry laugh.
Mei Taohua took a few deep breaths to calm herself down, and then intensified the interrogation.
About ten minutes later, Mei Taohua figured out what had happened.
"I'm sorry, both of you. It was our police station's fault," Mei Taohua apologized to Yu Helin.
Lord Yu and Lord Lin were magnanimous and did not pursue the matter further, but a thorn remained in their hearts.
Mei Taohua saw the two off as they left the police station, and sighed inwardly.
After working until 9 p.m., Mei Taohua finally left the police station with Ji Xiaoxiao.
Back home, Ji Xiaoxiao took a shower. As soon as she came out, Mei Taohua's serious face bumped into her.
"What's wrong?" Ji Xiaoxiao turned her feet and headed towards the sofa.
Plum Blossom followed behind, silent, but inexplicably feeling depressed.
Ji Xiaoxiao dried her hair, unable to bear Mei Taohua's gaze any longer, and said, "Speak."
Mei Taohua carefully examined Ji Xiaoxiao and said, "Ruoran, you said that when that shop exploded, you were eating noodles at the noodle shop across the street, right?"
"Yes." Ji Xiaoxiao nodded.
"You were so close to them at the time, why didn't you help them?"
When Mei Taohua thought of the blackened corpses lying in the morgue, her heart ached as if it were being cut by a knife.
"Do you think that explosion was like setting off firecrackers? They were at the epicenter of the blast; they had absolutely no chance of survival."
After the explosion, Ji Xiaoxiao immediately used her divine sense to examine the ruins inside and out several times, and found that there was indeed no one still alive there.
"You pronounced them dead without even looking at them. Piao Ruoran, you have really disappointed me."
In Mei Taohua's eyes, Ji Xiaoxiao's actions were tantamount to disregarding human life.
"They're all dead, what's there to see? Do you think I can bring them back to life just by looking at them? Plum Blossom, don't forget I'm pregnant. Have you forgotten the consequences of a female savior using 'divine grace' while pregnant?"
That day, Ji Xiaoxiao was cultivating "Divine Grace" when she felt unwell and immediately stopped. Information she found online indicated that if a female savior became pregnant and still used "Divine Grace," what would be the consequences? At best, the child wouldn't be protected; at worst, both mother and child would die.
"But you can't just ignore those people's lives, can you?"
"So you're going to trade my life and your child's life for the life of someone else?"
