Zhao Xincheng was relieved and accepted the bank card with a smile.
At this moment, the office door was knocked, and a police officer opened the door and said, "Deputy Director Zhao, the person has been brought here, Interrogation Room No. 3."
"Alright," Zhao Xincheng stood up.
Interrogation Room No. 3.
Yu He was still wondering who she had intentionally injured when Zhao Xincheng and Qin Meimei walked in, followed by a young police officer taking notes.
"Do you know what mistake you've made?" Zhao Xincheng sat down opposite Yu He with a stern face.
Normally, timid and guilty suspects would confess out of fear when they saw his stern face.
However, Yu He appeared calm, her full lips parting to utter four words softly, "I'm willing to listen to the details."
Her composed demeanor greatly displeased Qin Meimei. She was just a country bumpkin, what right did she have to be so calm?
Zhao Xincheng also hadn't expected such a young girl to be so unafraid and composed while sitting in a police station.
"Bang—"
Zhao Xincheng slammed the table heavily, "Unrepentant! Have your parents been called?"
"Yes, they should be here by now," the young police officer said.
Just then, the interrogation room door was knocked. The young police officer went to open it, and Ye Qichen walked in.
He saw Qin Meimei and his eyes darkened. Then he looked at Yu He, who was handcuffed, and his brow furrowed slightly.
"Officer, I am Yu He's brother. What happened?" Da Feng Xiao Shuo Wang
Hearing this, Yu He turned to look at Ye Qichen.
Ye Qichen thought she was scared and gave her a reassuring look. "Don't be afraid, brother will protect you."
Yu He: "..."
She wasn't afraid, but his words warmed her heart.
Qin Meimei hadn't expected Ye Qichen to be the one to come, not Ye Jianming.
The Ye family had originally gone bankrupt, but thanks to Ye Qichen, none of them were left homeless as she had wished.
"Tell him about the good deeds your sister has done," Zhao Xincheng said, tapping the table sternly.
The young police officer, receiving the order, said:
"Yesterday afternoon after school, Yu He deliberately attacked Gu Ze in the corridor of the Kaiwei Academy's mailroom, rendering him unable to speak, and threatened him into moving express packages, causing fractures to the bones in his right index and middle fingers."
As he spoke, he placed photos of Gu Ze's bandaged fingers and the doctor's certificate on the table.
"My son is now lying in the hospital, and his voice hasn't recovered yet. You people won't settle this privately!"
Qin Meimei, with her arms crossed, said aggressively.
"This is a serious case of intentional assault and carries legal responsibility! Don't think about settling this outside of court; it can only be handled through legal proceedings," Zhao Xincheng said, pointing at the photos.
The three of them bombarded Yu He with accusations, determined to convict her.
"Sister, is what they're saying true?" Ye Qichen didn't look at the evidence but asked Yu He first.
He believed that Yu He was not the type to easily resort to violence.
This trust made Yu He feel very warm.
However, if he knew that Gu Ze's inability to speak was indeed her doing, she wondered if he would be disappointed.
Her lips moved, and she looked at Qin Meimei, saying, "Your son's fingers are broken, why are you looking for me? I'm not an insurance company."
"Stop changing the subject! If it weren't for..."
Zhao Xincheng raised his hand, signaling Qin Meimei to stop. He had seized a key point.
"So you don't deny that you caused Gu Ze's inability to speak!" he said.
"Do you have any evidence?" Yu He looked calmly at Zhao Xincheng.
"The victim is the most compelling evidence! Fine, if you don't deny it, then it's confirmed. Await the court's sentence! Case closed!" Zhao Xincheng slammed the table and stood up. "Take her down and await further judgment."
With that, he left.
Qin Meimei, bracing herself on the table, stood up and stared at Yu He, saying, "You're still too green to mess with me, Qin Meimei. Spend your time in prison repenting!"
After speaking, she also left.
Bullying with power, nothing more.
Ye Qichen clenched his fists in anger. If he were a bit stronger, Yu He wouldn't have to suffer such injustice.
"Sister, why didn't you deny it just now?" he asked.
You gave them a loophole for nothing.
"Would denying it make a difference?" Yu He countered.
The deputy director personally handling such a minor matter clearly indicated they were colluding to convict her.
This was the power of influence.
Ye Qichen's fists tightened again, but his voice remained as gentle as possible as he comforted her.
"Don't be afraid. I have a few classmates working in the bureau. I'll contact them, and we'll definitely clear your name."
Yu He smiled faintly, "Thank you, brother. I'm not afraid."
This one word, "brother," filled Ye Qichen with energy. He absolutely would not let Yu He go to prison and have a stain on her life!

On the other side.
Tian Yu.
Qin Beiting sat on the sofa, playing chess on his tablet. The little piggy was sleeping soundly beside him, grunting.
Man and pig, enjoying a rare moment of harmony and contentment.
But this tranquility was soon shattered by Chen Dong.
"Brother Ting, I just received news that Miss Yu has been taken away by the Municipal Public Security Bureau and hasn't come out yet," Chen Dong said after hanging up the phone.
Qin Beiting's chess move paused. He looked up, his eyes sharp.
He had just sent the young girl to school, and then she was taken away?
"Madam Gu reported her to the police, saying Miss Yu assaulted Gu Ze and demanding she be sentenced," Chen Dong continued.
"It's over. What should we do?" he asked again.
Given Boss's current condition, it wasn't suitable for him to go to the police station personally.
Qin Beiting put down his tablet and picked up his phone, dialing a number.
The call was quickly connected, and Shao Chen's flippant voice came through, "Hello, Brother Ting, what's up?"
"Shao Chen, I have a job for you."
"What job? Helping you chase your sister-in-law?"
"Take your men to the Northern City Public Security Bureau immediately and bring your sister-in-law out," Qin Beiting said coldly.
"Damn it, who has eyes but can't see? They dared to touch my sister-in-law! I'm going right now."
—
At the police station.
Zhao Xincheng left the interrogation room, bid farewell to Qin Meimei, and returned to his office.
He called a police officer into his office, sat at his desk, and propped his feet on the desk. Pointing at Yu He's case, he said:
"Handle this case first. Make sure it's dealt with before the director gets back!"
"What case can't I see?"
At that moment, the office door was pushed open, and Director Duan Aiguo appeared at the doorway.
"Bang—"
Zhao Xincheng was startled and, losing his balance, fell off his chair.
"Director Duan, how come you're back?" He quickly got up.
"If I didn't come back, you'd be causing chaos, wouldn't you!" Duan Aiguo said sternly.
He gestured respectfully to the person behind him, "Young Master Shao, please."
Zhao Xincheng followed his gaze and saw a man in a form-fitting red suit walking in.
"Master Shao!"
