"Pan Mingyue!" Qin Ran stepped forward.
But Pan Mingyue avoided her and looked straight at Ning Qing."But auntie, Qin Ran didn't do anything wrong. She only helped me teach those scums a lesson. She did nothing wrong and doesn't need to apologize to anyone."
Pan Mingyue's glasses had been taken away by Xu Shen long ago, so at this time, her dark eyes were revealed, clear and calm.
The parents of those teenagers froze and reacted quickly.
"What nonsense, this girl is shameless!"
Grandma Xu simply wanted to rush up and tear Pan Mingyue's mouth off her face."What do you mean? My grandson isn't like that!"
"There's a CCTV at the intersection of that bookstore, and he has a criminal record at Ninghai Town from three years ago." Pan Mingyue ignored them, turned to look at the police, and said quietly, "You can investigate and see if it is true. I'm very happy that this time you have decided to publicize it. Officer, you still haven't told me yet, just what crime is it?"
She spoke calmly with her back straight and tall.
Officer Li almost burned himself with the cigarette in his hand.
He looked at Pan Mingyue, stunned, before saying slowly, "If it's a light punishment, a few months. If it's a heavy punishment, then three to five years."
For some reason, the parents who had just been shouting and the aggressive Grandma Xu suddenly lost their ability to speak.
A policeman holding a notebook noted it down and watched Grandma Xu and the others. His gaze changed instantly and he frowned.
Grandma Xu and the others stood rooted to the ground, their faces ashen and a little awkward.
Officer Li's words struck panic in their hearts.
Lin Jinxuan's dressing style wasn't ordinary, and it was obvious that his family was rich.
They had wanted to publicize this matter only to get more compensation for their sons.
But after hearing Pan Mingyue's words, they looked at each other and were a little afraid. The girl was the victim, and according to the police officer, their sons would have to go to jail and would even have a record taken down.
Lin Jinxuan, who had been staring blankly at them, finally returned to his senses.
He had always been agile when dealing with interpersonal relationships and most things, so now he responded faster than Ning Qing and Qin Yu.
"Police officer, send someone to investigate and monitor the CCTV first. Oh, and the case at Ninghai Town also needs to be investigated, " he said while taking two steps forward and lowering his head to look at Qin Ran.
She had a touch of blood on her lips. Her lips were pursed tightly and she looked a little cold, but her furrowed eyebrows looked fretful instead.
She had her hand in her pocket and her fringe over her face so that her expression couldn't be seen, but it seemed like her face had become paler.
"Are you all right?" Lin Jinxuan asked in a low voice, his tone gentle.
He had just learned that Qin Ran had fought alone with a dozen boys.
Girls naturally had poorer physical fitness than boys.
"No." Qin Ran was stunned for a while after hearing Lin Jinxuan's voice. She looked away and shook her head, leaning against the wall with her long eyelashes hanging down.
Her mood appeared very bad.
It was like a barrel of oil, where a trace of fire could light it up.
On one side, Ning Qing and Qin Yu finally reacted.
After Lin Jinxuan explained to the police and asked Qin Ran again, his eyes turned to Ning Qing and Qin Yu. He pursed his lips."Aunt, I think you should be more affectionate and trusting towards your own child. It's not right to only listen to the outsiders' side of the story, don't you think?"
Qin Yu listened to him beside Ning Qing and dug her fingernails into her palm.
Who knew that the situation would become like this?
The parents didn't say a word and the police began to re-inquire about the records. With Lin Jinxuan there, they went to check the CCTV as well.
It was late now, so Lin Jinxuan helped Qin Ran and Pan Mingyue through the formalities and they were soon both released.
The aggressive Grandma Xu was speechless now, and she just stood there constantly looking out the door, deep in her own thoughts.

Deputy Shen received a phone call. He rushed and finally arrived.
Xu Shen's father was at the hospital to see him, so he wasn't there.
"Deputy Shen." The policeman who was taking down notes stood up to say hello.
Grandma Xu's sluggish spirit was refreshed immediately after seeing Deputy Shen. She took two steps forward and said, "Deputy Shen, you came at the right time. This person injured my grandson and mustn't be tolerated!"
"Old lady, sit down first. I will handle this matter." Deputy Shen helped her to the side.
"I'm assured now that you are here. They were trying to scare me, and I can't stand it." Grandma Xu deliberately left out information about Pan Mingyue and only focused on how Qin Ran had injured them.
"I just answered Elder Xu's phone call. Your grandson is disabled, so I will definitely give you an account." Deputy Shen's attitude was clear.
"Deputy Shen, Xu Shen was the one who attempted violence in this incident." Lin Jinxuan saw Deputy Shen and said calmly, his brows furrowed.
Deputy Shen tilted his head and was slightly shocked to see Lin Jinxuan."Oh, it turns out to be Master Lin. I know about the incident. Young people can fight and the other party can perform self-defense, but now, Xu Shen is the one lying in the hospital."
"What are you doing?" Seeing the list in the hand of the police, Deputy Shen frowned."This matter hasn't been fully investigated yet, how could you let them go? Wait till Xu Shen wakes up tomorrow and gives a confession statement."
"Deputy Shen, what do you mean?" Lin Jinxuan smiled slightly.
"There are still some pieces of evidence that haven't arrived yet. We have to do things fairly, don't you agree?" Deputy Shen was showing off his strength now.
He acted impartially and reasonably, so not even the slightest mistake could be pointed out.
He controlled the situation first before talking about private affairs tomorrow.
The people at the police station respected Deputy Shen. Although they were cynical of Grandma Xu's actions, they were still orderly and listened to his orders.
"Jinxuan, who is that?" Ning Qing looked at Lin Jinxuan in panic.
"This is Yun Cheng's Deputy Shen." Lin Jinxuan frowned."The Lin family has no relationship with him. I'll ask Aunt if she knows anyone from the Public Security Bureau."
The Lin family was mainly engaged in the catering industry and had never really dealt with the police.
Even if Qin Ran had the right intentions, it would be difficult for her to go back tonight if they didn't receive a release statement.
"Bring me all those people first." Deputy Shen wanted to keep an eye on Qin Ran and the other youngsters.
"Deputy Shen?" Ning Qing had always been cautious because of her family problems. When she married into the Lin family, she realized just how big the world was.
At this moment, when she heard that he was some deputy, she started to panic. She was just a little citizen, and this kind of authority was capable of overturning her.
She also didn't want the Lin family to offend Deputy Shen because of Qin Ran.
Furthermore, even Lin Jinxuan felt that it would be difficult to handle matters since the Deputy was involved.
"Then let's go back first..." Ning Qing reached out and anxiously wanted to pull Lin Jinxuan.
Lin Jinxuan was worried about Qin Ran being alone in the police station.
"I'll go back and find my dad and aunt first." Lin Jinxuan looked at Qin Ran, paused, and reassured her."You can rest assured..."
"Knock knock—"
It was then that someone knocked on the door frame twice.
