Wanqi Siling
Chapter 490 Oh, You're Quite the Player
"Let go of me! Let go of me!!"
Even with her face on the ground, Bai Xiao was still struggling fiercely. She stared intently in Julian's direction, looking as though she wanted to point her finger at him and sentence him to death. It was a frightening sight.
"Are you crazy?!"
Lu Xiaoyao, frightened by Julian's appearance and the scene she had glimpsed in the darkness, almost burst into tears.
Unfortunately, she couldn't hold them back after Bai Xiao's shout.
Lu Xiaoyao wiped the tears from her face and rushed in front of Bai Xiao, only to be met with unfamiliar, cruel eyes. It was as if Bai Xiao truly didn't recognize her.
"This is..."
Lu Xiaoyao looked hesitantly at Mu Chen, who was holding Bai Xiao down, seeking an explanation.
"She's being influenced by her character setting. She's probably completely immersed in her role now. In her character's backstory, her daughter must have suffered some misfortune, causing her to harbor extreme malice towards men who get handsy..."
As he spoke, Mu Chen looked at Bai Xiao's expression towards Julian, thoughtfully turned, and asked, "What did you and Julian do in the alley?"
"Huh?"
Lu Xiaoyao blinked, not quite understanding Mu Chen's question. But Mingmei remembered Lu Xiaoyao's earlier "roughhousing," and added, "Did you and Julian do anything out of line in the alley to provoke her?"
"Out... out of line?"
Seemingly understanding what Mingmei was saying, and recalling what Mu Chen said about the reason for Bai Xiao's actions, Lu Xiaoyao's face instantly flushed red.
And when Mingmei and Mu Chen saw her stammering, they knew she and Julian must have done something in the alley.
Ew!
The world is going downhill!
Young couples are actually doing that sort of thing in dark alleys...
"Cough, cough, cough, cough!"
Julian, who was on the verge of passing out, hadn't completely lost consciousness. Hearing Mingmei and Mu Chen's words, he understood why he had been attacked.
He struggled to open his eyelids and saw the change in their expressions. He quickly coughed twice, his voice weak but anxious, "Xiaoyao and I didn't have time to do anything."
"That's right! We haven't even kissed."
Lu Xiaoyao quickly added.
But that only made it sound more suspicious.
"So, what did you do that's more exciting than kissing?"
Unlike Mingmei, who simply couldn't believe that they had done nothing to provoke Bai Xiao's anger, Mu Chen could tell from their guilty expressions that things weren't that simple.
"This..."
Faced with Mu Chen's questioning gaze, Lu Xiaoyao couldn't hold on any longer and looked towards Julian. The poor Julian, hacked up as he was, had to muster his spirits and think about how to explain without losing face, orz.
"Beasts!"
Before Julian could think of an answer, Bai Xiao, her eyes already red, cursed.
Then, when Julian didn't respond, Bai Xiao's voice grew louder and louder, as she recklessly shouted, "You shameless thing, chasing after a female student at night! She clearly shouted, 'If you come any closer, I'll call the police!' How could you be so brazen, saying you weren't afraid even if the King of Heaven came?!"
Mingmei: 0.0?
Mu Chen: →_→?
Julian + Lu Xiaoyao: _(:3」∠)_
This is the end, I've lost all face!
"You two...?" Mingmei stared at Lu Xiaoyao, whose face was flushed red, and then at Julian, whose pale face from blood loss now seemed to have a rosy glow, as if he were having a sudden burst of energy.
"I didn't expect you guys to be so adventurous."
Mu Chen finished Mingmei's sentence. So, these two took advantage of the darkness in the alley to engage in a little role-playing?
How exciting!
"No, no, just a little..." Lu Xiaoyao made a small gesture with her little finger, explaining, "We just played around a little bit, and she rushed out to chop me after I only ran two steps!" oγg
Lu Xiaoyao quickly explained, stammering that she and Julian hadn't done anything, and finally added, "Don't tell my brother!"
Mingmei: "..."
If only you'd known this earlier, why did you do it in the first place?
Mingmei glanced at Julian, who was half-lying on the ground, thinking that if she told Lu Gui, Julian might get hacked even after leaving the game _(:3」∠)_
Given how much Lu Gui valued Lu Xiaoyao, if these two were already "playing" like this before graduation, Lu Gui would definitely step in to teach them a lesson!
Just then, the police car arrived. When the officers saw the victim, the crime scene, and Lu Xiaoyao again, their faces instantly fell.
Mingmei and Mu Chen clearly saw the obvious look of disgust.
So, after discovering that Julian was seriously injured, the ambulance also arrived, and they quietly played rock-paper-scissors and sent the loser to the hospital with Lu Xiaoyao and the others to take statements.
Yes, sometimes things are that casual.
Mingmei and the others could only follow the police car to the station to recount what they had witnessed. After they finished giving their statements, they were surprised to see Yuan Fang, leaning on a crutch, being summoned to the station late at night.
"I'm really sorry." The first thing Yuan Fang did when he saw Mingmei and Mu Chen was to bow and apologize. "I didn't notice Bai Xiao's problem in time and inform you, causing trouble for everyone. I'm really sorry."
"It's okay, Bai Xiao's... role influence, we can understand."
Before Mingmei could speak, she looked at Mu Chen in astonishment as he cut in.
When did this guy become so understanding?
"I'm really sorry. I'll go see Xiao Xiao after I finish my statement and see if she can wake up." After saying that, Yuan Fang, leaning on his crutch, went inside to give his statement under the guidance of others.
Watching his departing figure, Mingmei looked up at Mu Chen, who was still staring at Yuan Fang's back, and asked, "Do you believe him?"
"No, I don't believe a word he said."
After Mu Chen finished speaking, Mingmei smiled brightly and said, "I knew it, you're not that stupid."
"Yes, I'm not that stupid." Mu Chen chuckled, agreeing with Mingmei, took her hand, and the two of them left the police station side by side.
It wasn't until they had walked far away from the station that Mu Chen said, "Bai Xiao may be able to take down these people now, but that doesn't mean that the incidents at that school over a year ago were all Bai Xiao's doing. Oh, adding Mona's father, the two of them still couldn't have done it.
Besides, even if he's disabled now, I don't think he's the kind of person who can't do anything."
"Like giving false testimony." Mingmei added immediately, "If Lu Xiaoyao and Julian hadn't accidentally stumbled upon it today, there would have been zero chance of Bai Xiao being exposed."
"That's right." Mu Chen nodded. "But that means that Yuan Fang, with his clear consciousness, is more worthy of our vigilance than Bai Xiao, who completely loses herself only when controlled by her character consciousness."
