Chapter 401: Chapter 401: Sorry, It’s My First Time at the Police Station
The police officer furrowed his brows, "Where is the child?"
Xiao Qing immediately yelled towards the store next door: "Big Treasure, Little Treasure~"
Upon hearing her voice, Big Treasure and Little Treasure ran out immediately, throwing themselves onto Xiao Qing amidst the crowd.
Xiao Qing, seeing the rare cooperation from the two treasures, almost lost her composure, but fortunately, her professional integrity held, ensuring she did not break character.
The two police officers exchanged glances and said, "Let’s go back to the police station to record a statement."
With that, one officer slapped handcuffs on Tan Biyang, while Xiao Qing walked behind the police safely, hand in hand with a child on each side. This sight hurt Tan Biyang deeply, yet she was helpless to do anything about it.
Once at the police station, Tan Biyang was allowed to speak. She recounted the incident to the officers, omitting the part where she had provoked the altercation first.
However, due to preconceived notions, the police officer did not believe her immediately.
Tan Biyang had no choice but to call her lawyer, waiting for them to arrive for further explanation.
On the contrary, Xiao Qing, after arriving at the police station, aside from talking to her children, responded to all of the officer’s questions with the same sentence: "I will wait for my lawyer to arrive before I speak."
"Mommy, when can we go home?"
"Little Treasure, be good. The police uncle just invited us for a cup of tea, we can go home after we finish drinking."
Little Treasure obediently nodded his head, not speaking another word, while Big Treasure looked worriedly at his mother.
He understood what she had said to the police, so he did not believe that they would be able to leave just after having tea.
If he hadn’t misheard, it seemed like Mommy had just been fighting with someone, hadn’t she? Thinking of that, Big Treasure felt somewhat speechless. Mommy had once said that practicing Taekwondo was not for fighting, but for keeping fit and healthy, yet now...
Half an hour passed, and a man walked in, glanced their way, then diverted his gaze, and proceeded to stand by Tan Biyang’s side.
Xiao Qing thought that must be her lawyer.
She hadn’t called a lawyer but had sent a message to Yang Qiao, unsure if Yang Qiao had informed her brother about this situation; now, all she could do was wait.
"Mommy, I’m so hungry~"
Little Treasure weakly leaned on Xiao Qing. After considering for a moment, Xiao Qing gestured to a nearby police officer, asking, "Excuse me, Comrade, do you have a takeout menu here? The children are hungry and need to eat."
The police officer looked at Xiao Qing with difficulty, then at his colleagues behind him, before finally handing over a takeout menu.
Xiao Qing ordered two takeaways, returned the menu to the officer, and then held Little Treasure back in her arms.
"Xiao Qing, why hasn’t your lawyer arrived yet?" Tan Biyang had been waiting for quite a while and hadn’t seen anyone else come in, so she couldn’t help but ask Xiao Qing.
For a moment, everyone’s gaze turned to Xiao Qing.
Xiao Qing calmly replied, "I thought it was the troublemaker who needs a lawyer. Sorry, it’s my first time in a police station, I’m not familiar with how things work."
Everyone: "..."
A figure appeared at the door, blocking half of the light.
"Sorry, I’m late."
At the sound, Xiao Qing looked up to see a man walking in, nodding at her.
"You are..."
"Ma’am, the Boss is waiting for you outside," Peng Yi said, then walked towards the police colleague behind him, handing over the object in his hand.
Another officer came closer, looking at the object, and was instantly taken aback.
"Officer, can we leave now?"
