Li Yunmei knew better than anyone how she got injured. Seeing her mother calling the police, Li Yunmei was so scared that she quickly said, “Mom, don’t…”

“Xiao Mei, don’t be afraid. Mom is here. This isn’t over!” Liu Chunxia interrupted her daughter and said into the phone, “Yes, it’s Erzhong in Baiyun. The people involved are here. Please hurry up.”

When the others saw Liu Chunxia call the police, they all looked at one another. Headmaster Feng wanted to say something, but the principal stopped him.

Liu Chunxia was difficult to communicate with. It was obvious that the other party wanted the school to expel Jian Ai. Instead of being stuck in a deadlock, it was better to let the police handle it. There had to be a fair result.

Jian Ai had a calm expression on her face. Obviously, Liu Chunxia’s action of calling the police was like shooting herself in the foot. When they reveal the truth, she would inevitably be embarrassed.

In comparison, Li Yunmei was the most nervous. She had done many bad things in school but had never faced the police. Now that things had developed to this stage, she did not know how to explain.

The police officers were quick and arrived at the principal’s office within ten minutes.

After carefully understanding the whole story, and with so many leaders of Erzhong present, even if it was just a conflict between students in school, the two police officers did not dare to neglect it.

One of the older police officers said, “Since both sides have their own views, let’s check the surveillance cameras at the school gate.”

The security chief nodded. “Although there are only six cameras installed in the school, we should be able to capture the scene at the school gate.”

Li Yunmei panicked even more when she heard that they were going to check the surveillance cameras. She was so nervous that she started to stutter. “Ah… Uncle Police, let’s just… forget about it. We won’t pursue the matter anymore. Anyway… Anyway, it’s just a small misunderstanding between classmates.”

“Don’t!” Jian Ai smiled and said slowly, “The police are here. If you don’t pursue the matter, they would have made a futile trip. That will be a waste of the country’s resources.”

“This kid is right. Since we are here, we have to resolve the dispute.” The police officers nodded.

Liu Chunxia did not seem to have reacted to her daughter’s abnormality. She still had a victorious expression on her face. “It must be resolved. If my daughter goes to the same school as such a violent person, as a parent, I will be on tenterhooks every day.”

The group of people followed the security chief to the security office. Then, the security chief personally pulled out the surveillance video at the entrance of the school gate yesterday afternoon.

Li Yunmei’s face turned pale, revealing guilt, uneasiness, and fear. Especially when everyone saw her kick, which Jian Ai dodged, thus resulting in her split, she was so embarrassed and angry that she wanted to find a hole to hide.

The scene on the screen was obvious. From when Li Yunmei and the rest deliberately stopped Jian Ai and when Li Yunmei took the initiative to attack and finally fell to the ground injured, Jian Ai did not touch her. It was all because of her own mistake.
