Chapter 62 beat them so badly they were left scrambling on the ground, unable to vent their anger!
Upon hearing Lu Lian'er's words, everyone present stared at her in shock.
Xia Mian gave a sarcastic smirk, "Assess the injury? I bet your swollen face has healed before you even got to the hospital!"
"Are you missing an arm or a leg? Why are you asking for an injury assessment!" Zhao Baoqi pouted. She couldn't stand Lu Lian'er's scheming and manipulative nature.
“Lian’er is right, we demand an examination!” Xia Qinglin was in pain all over, his face bruised and swollen. When he spoke, he accidentally pulled at the wound on the corner of his mouth, making him wince in pain.
"Sorry, these are just minor injuries, no need for further examination." A man who seemed to be the team leader said in a businesslike tone. He glanced at the three Xia brothers, then at the twins and the two girls.
"Neither of you are seriously injured. It was just a mutual fight. Apologize to each other and go back."
This is clearly an attempt to downplay the issue and make it disappear!
Xia Qingyang's eyes were icy cold, like thick, unyielding snow. "You're clearly protecting them. The three of us are the ones who suffer! They were the ones who struck first."
"That's right! They started it, how can it be considered mutual fighting? They clearly hit us! They intentionally caused harm!" Xia Qingfeng shouted angrily.
"Xia Qingfeng, you sound perfectly fine when you shout, you don't look injured at all. So you should go back and wash up and go to sleep!" Xia Mian raised an eyebrow at Xia Qingfeng.
"Xia Mian! Are you still my sister? How can you be so biased towards outsiders? You just stand by and watch outsiders beat your brother!" Xia Qingfeng got angry just thinking about it. If it were before, Xia Mian would have rushed over to shield them from the rain of punches.
She would rather be beaten and suffer herself than see her three brothers get hurt.
Now look what's happened, she's actually acting like she's making a joke out of it!
I'm so angry!
"Qingfeng is right, Xia Mian, how can you be so vicious? So cold-blooded? We are your own brothers, who are they? What kind of scoundrels did they come from?" Xia Qinglin, the eldest brother, was also furious. "You come back with us right now and cut ties with these violent lunatics!"
"I'm sorry, young masters Xia, but I severed all ties with the Xia family a long time ago!"
Xia Mian remained calm and composed, her tone light and detached, devoid of any emotion.
"Therefore, it is my freedom to choose who I make friends with. I don't need to report to you, nor do I need to listen to your opinions."
"You! You're deliberately trying to drive us crazy!" Xia Qingyang stared at Xia Mian with a sinister look in his eyes. "Can't you be as obedient and well-behaved as Lian'er?"
Where did Xia Mian, who used to try so hard to please them, go?
"I'm rebellious by nature, and I'm proud of it." Xia Mian laughed, her clear eyes full of mockery.
The bureau chief and the captain looked at each other, bewildered, as they watched the siblings fighting amongst themselves.
They're actually siblings? And which sister is the one in the three brothers' arms?
Lu Lian'er huddled in Xia Qinglin's arms, clutching her chest pitifully. Coupled with her face swollen like a steamed bun, she thought she was acting adorably, but to others she only looked ridiculous.
"Brother, please don't blame sister. She must have meant no harm."
"She probably just wants to go home so badly that she keeps trying to get her brothers' attention this way."
Xia Mian: "..."
Who told Lu Lian'er that this is what she thought?
The bureau chief chuckled twice. "Since you're family, that makes things easier. Even broken blood relatives are still connected! Go back quickly."
“Yes, yes, it’s just a family dispute. You brothers shouldn’t take it to heart.” The captain also advised the three Xia brothers. “Be magnanimous, let’s go.”
"Yes, yes, we have other urgent cases to handle, so this one is closed." After saying that, the chief immediately gave the captain a wink.
The captain was very good at handling things. Before the three Xia brothers could react, he collected all the transcripts and other documents, put them into the case file, and then locked them in the cabinet.
Completed in one go!
"You! You guys! No...!" Xia Qinglin stared wide-eyed in astonishment, "How could this be?"
"Oh dear, your little sister is still young. You older brothers should be more understanding and not always argue with her, lest you make a fool of yourselves in front of others!" The director patted him on the shoulder. "Take care."
Then he quickly left with the captain and several other team members.
Xia Mian smiled happily and waved to Lu Lian'er and Xia Qinglin, "Bye-bye."
They pulled Zhao Baoqi away, and the twin brothers raised their fists at them with a defiant look in their eyes, and followed.
Lu Lian'er stomped her feet in anger, "How could this happen? Do they have some powerful backers?"
"What kind of backing could they have? Those twins look so poor!" Xia Qingfeng felt a tightness in his chest, making him very uncomfortable.
"When have our Xia family's third young master ever been bullied like this? They've gone too far!" Xia Qingyang stared coldly at the backs of Xia Mian and the others.
"Second brother, do you have any ideas?" Xia Qingfeng knew that his second brother was always the quickest-thinking and most resourceful.
"Let's talk about it when we get home." Xia Qingyang looked around cautiously and said, "Let's go!"
The three men, with Lu Lian'er in their arms, slunk away.
Meanwhile, in the director's office...
The bureau chief, holding his phone, laughed heartily. "Director Zhao, the matter has been resolved, and the children have gone home. Don't worry, with me here, will they suffer any losses?"
Zhao Liangyuan's tone carried a hint of helplessness, "I'll treat you to dinner another day. My kids are a bit naughty, so I'm sorry to have troubled you."
"What's this? It's a small matter. It's just that I didn't dare to bother Chief Fu." The bureau chief still wanted to curry favor with Fu Yanshen.
“You know, Yan Shen has always doted on his younger siblings. If he finds out, he definitely won’t let those fleas from the Xia family get away with it.” Zhao Liangyuan naturally understood what the director meant. “I need to talk to him about this in detail.”
"Oh, it's nothing, nothing at all," the bureau chief laughed and hung up the phone.
I was so happy.
Chief Fu, whose every stomp could shake the entire city of Ming, was someone he rarely had the opportunity to cultivate connections with or show his face.
Even the most promising Chief Fu must remember him now, right?
Zhao Liangyuan is an upright man who only wants to stay in his own little corner of the world and doesn't want to climb the social ladder. He doesn't even know how to take advantage of his good nephew, Fu Yanshen.
It's so enviable!
If Fu Yanshen were his nephew...how wonderful that would be!
No matter what, he's no longer just the head of a small branch office.
Zhao Baoqi drove to a nearby pharmacy and bought band-aids and medicine to reduce swelling and relieve pain.
Xia Mian treated the twin brothers' facial injuries, then looked troubled. "What are we going to do now... how are we going to explain this to Grandma when we get home?"
