Chapter 9: Fiddling

Chapter 9

"I've called the police for you, no need to thank me too much," Ren Ran said with a smile, bearing a hint of someone who has seen fame and fortune turn to dust.

"Aren't you afraid of being arrested by the police?"

"Afraid? I've never done anything wrong, so what do I have to fear? It'll be great if the police come, they can prove my innocence. Oh right, the matter of you guys trying to extort 50 million from me and damage my reputation can be handled by the police altogether," Ren Ran said.

Xu's Mother was left speechless by her shameless behavior, both angry and anxious.

Ren Suya and the police arrived one after the other.

On the way here, Ren Suya had already understood what had happened. Entering the office, she immediately rushed to Ren Ran's side, examining her daughter carefully to confirm that she was unharmed, finally letting out a long sigh of relief.

Seeing the parent arrive, Xu's Mother started blabbering nonstop.

"You're Ren Ran's mother right? Your daughter got people to beat up my daughter into a cripple, compensate us 50 million, and we won't pursue this matter. Otherwise your daughter will be arrested. You don't want your daughter to go to jail right?"

Ren Suya retracted her gaze from her daughter, finally having time to deal with the other people.

"Your daughter was beaten up, on what grounds are you saying it was done by my daughter? Do you have any evidence? Without evidence, this is slander, it's ruining my daughter's reputation."

Seeing that they didn't admit it, Xu's mother was immediately anxious.

They didn't care at all about the life or death of that money losing good-for-nothing. What they cared about was how much compensation they could get out of this incident.

After receiving the news last night, they rushed to the hospital. Originally they didn't want to get her treated, but after hearing from their daughter that the person who beat her up was a rich family's young miss, the couple immediately hatched a plan.

After getting a clear understanding of the rich classmate's circumstances from their daughter, they impatiently came to demand money early in the morning.

They were determined to get this money.

Whether she did it or not, she must be related somehow. Anyway there was no way she could shirk responsibility.

Just as the two sides were about to face off, the police officer spoke up, "Do you have any evidence to prove this?"

Xu's parents looked at each other awkwardly with forced smiles.

"Officers, it was like this. We don't have evidence, but my daughter heard with her own ears the attacker report to me. So there's no mistake about this matter."

"She herself wasn't there, she only heard the attacker give a report, correct?"

"This matter has nothing to do with you."

Xu's Mother refused to accept it. "How does it have nothing to do with her? How did you police investigate it? Are you covering for her?"

Xu's Father also wore a dark expression.

Xu's Mother stepped forward wanting to scratch Ren Ran again. Ren Ran grabbed her mother's hand as the two dodged behind the officers.

It took Ren Suya several seconds to react.

Ren Suya was an elegant, intellectual woman. The people she encountered were all very refined. She had never seen such a shrew before.

"If you continue like this, we have the authority to bring you back to the station," the officers angrily warned.

Seeing the two officers enraged, Xu's Father pulled Xu's Mother back.

"Officers, what exactly is going on here?"

The officer finally had a chance to speak. "An hour ago, a video appeared online. Someone happened to record a video of your daughter being beaten up, and after the person posted it online, it caught the attention of the Internet Information Security Center. They started an investigation, and found the assailant in the video. Just now the assailant has been arrested, and information about the hirer was found on him."

"The station happened to know we were investigating this case, so they notified me. You can consider yourselves lucky, we'll be bringing the hirer in soon."

The Xu couple were both dumbfounded.

They didn't want to catch the real culprits, they just wanted to extort some money from this rich young miss.

Seeing the couple's unhappy expressions, the officer knitted his brows slightly.

Ren Ran curiously asked, "Who was the hirer?"

Although she already knew very well, she still had to put on an act and publicize it for that person.

"Also a student from your school, called Pei Ming."

The teachers were shocked.

Ren Ran looked towards the Xu couple. "Uncle, auntie, don't worry. Medical fees for Xu Li's injuries, compensation money, you don't need to worry."

"What do you mean?"

"You don't know? Pei Ming is the son of the CEO of Hongli Group." Ren Ran said with an innocent look.
