As soon as Chen Ji finished speaking, he picked up the water bottle and splashed it at Cheng Dan.
"ah!"
Compared to the soup, the water in the kettle was already boiled; the housekeeper had just brought it out.
Moreover, it was a thermos, and in just a moment, Cheng Dan screamed in alarm.
Chen Ji splashed the water on her shoulder, and Cheng Dan clutched her shoulder in pain, her face turning pale.
Everyone in the living room was shocked by Chen Ji's actions.
Even Cheng's parents took a few seconds to react before stepping forward to shield their daughter.
"Chen Ji, what do you mean by this?!"
Mr. Cheng was the first to erupt in anger, pointing his finger at Chen Ji and shouting, "Are you trying to kill my daughter? The police are right here, how dare you?!"
Chen Ji gave a cold laugh, his face expressionless. "She just said that she would do anything as long as she wasn't taken to the police station. So, she was just lying to the Chen family?"
A person who is usually calm can be terrifying if they suddenly go crazy.
Mr. Cheng was speechless for a moment.
Cheng's mother said, trembling, "Dandan didn't mean that."
"Yeah?"
Chen Ji's lips curled into a faint smile. "Then I misunderstood, officers. You should still take her to the police station. Forget I said anything."
Mr. Cheng: "..."
Cheng's mother: "!!!"
Despite the pain, Cheng Dan cried out, "I said it! I said it!"
She'd already been splashed, but she gritted her teeth and accepted it.
The two police officers had never seen anything like it before.
The person in front of me was still wearing a military uniform, yet he did such a thing.
But what he said wasn't wrong either; it was the person involved who said it himself: as long as you don't go to the police station, you can do whatever you want.
That understanding is not wrong.
Moreover, Chen Ji stopped them before splashing the water and asked them to be witnesses.
"Then let's consider this matter over. You two can resolve it yourselves. We'll be leaving now."
The police officers were just two young men, and they were sweating buckets dealing with this kind of high-level dispute.
When they arrived, their department just passed the buck.
The ball was forced into their hands layer by layer; they had no other choice but to grit their teeth and come over.
But Chen Ji wouldn't let them leave.
"Wait a minute. Since we've agreed, I'm going to pour out all the water from this pot. It was a whole basin of soup back then."
Exchanging a pot of water for a bowl of soup—that's true fairness and a fair settlement.
As Chen Ji spoke, a faint smile played on his lips.
The Cheng family of three were shocked to hear this.
Cheng Dan couldn't help but shudder, her face immediately falling. "Chen Ji, you're kidding, right? I already said, I didn't mean to..."
Chen Ji glanced at her, and Cheng Dan immediately shut up.
She was afraid that his next words would be to tell her to go with the police.
But if a pot of water were poured on her, she wouldn't be able to withstand it, and besides, burns can leave scars.
Cheng Dan thought about it and still couldn't accept it.
Ugly scars are completely unrelated to her!
"Chen Ji, that's enough!"
Cheng's father gritted his teeth, his words squeezed out from between his teeth, his whole being staring at Chen Ji with a gloomy expression.
Chen Ji is his subordinate. If he dares to bully his daughter like this, he will definitely not let Chen Ji off the hook!
"Chen Ji, if you're really not satisfied, then splash me with water."
Cheng's mother closed her eyes, stood in front of Cheng Dan, and firmly blocked her way. "If a child is not taught properly, it is the father's fault. I will bear the consequences for her. I only ask that your Chen family let her go!"
Cheng's mother spoke with tears streaming down her face, and she stood there swaying precariously.
