Jian Ai’s face turned cold. She walked towards Li Yunmei and looked down from atop at her. She said softly and coldly, “Li Yunmei, do you know that I can sue you for murder just based on this footage?”

Jian Ai’s words frightened Li Yunmei. She immediately said in horror, “I didn’t murder… I… Aren’t you alive and well now…”

Liu Chunxia was also scared out of her wits. Although she didn’t know much about the law, she knew that her daughter was underage and didn’t have the qualifications to bear criminal responsibility. She immediately went forward and grabbed the police officer’s hand. “Officer, my daughter is still young. She’s insensible. Besides, isn’t the other party fine? Can you let the matter rest…”

Jian Ai couldn’t help but sneer. “I’m fine because I’m lucky. If I hadn’t been fished up by a passing teacher, do you really think I would be standing here alive?”

Jian Ai’s calmness made everyone present tremble. When they looked at the surveillance video just now, the girl who was pushed into the water was obviously timid and weak. However, Jian Ai, who was standing in front of them, was completely different from her. She had an invisible and fierce aura that made the teachers who wanted to plead for Li Yunmei to stop.

Yes, she almost lost her life because of this. What right did they have to ask her to forgive Li Yunmei?

“Jian Ai, what do you want!”

Li Yunmei sounded like she was crying. She was obviously frightened. However, the more she acted like this, the more ridiculous Jian Ai felt. Did she know fear now? Why was she not scared when she was facing the life that was struggling in the water? Why was she not worried that the other party would die?

“I don’t want to do anything.” Jian Ai kept her aura and said calmly, “But those who did something wrong should be punished. It’s true that I didn’t die, but this surveillance footage is enough to accuse you of attempted murder. Of course, you’re just an underage high school student, so you don’t have to bear criminal responsibility. However, it’s enough for you to stay at the juvenile detention center in Baiyun City for a year and a half!”

When she heard that she did not have to bear responsibility, Li Yunmei could not help but secretly heave a sigh of relief. However, when she turned around and heard that she would enter the juvenile detention center, she immediately grabbed her mother in horror. “Mom, I don’t want to enter the juvenile detention center…”

Liu Chunxia also panicked. She thought that her daughter didn’t need to go to jail because she was still young. At most, she would have to pay some money. Her family didn’t lack money. However, she didn’t expect Jian Ai to mention a juvenile detention center all so suddenly. It sounded like a children’s prison.

She only had this one daughter, so how could she let her daughter go to jail? Her eyes immediately turned red from anxiety, but she did not know how to defend her daughter. She could only grab the police officer’s clothes and repeat over and over again, “She’s still a child, ignorant…”

“This is a criminal case. It’s different from normal violence in school. You should follow us back to the police station first,” the police officer said helplessly.

The teachers looked at one another. They did not expect things to develop to this stage. However, they could not sympathize with Li Yunmei. Although she was a child, she was so vicious and cold at such a young age. When she grew up, she would probably endanger society.

On the second day after her rebirth, Jian Ai got into a police car in Baiyun City and entered the police station.

Li Yunmei and her mother were brought into the interrogation room by the police. Jian Ai was waiting on the bench outside while Teacher Li accompanied her.
