Jian Ai saw the subtle atmosphere between the two of them. Obviously, they knew each other, but her mother didn’t seem to want to admit it.

At this moment, someone had pushed the door of the interrogation room open from the inside. Li Yunmei and Liu Chunxia walked out first. As soon as they saw Li Qiang, Li Yunmei cried and ran over, “Dad, save me. I don’t want to enter the juvenile detention center.”

Li Qiang hugged his daughter and patted her back comfortingly, “Don’t worry, Dad is here. Nothing will happen.”

The police officer in charge of the interrogation walked up to Jian Ai. Seeing that Jian Ai’s parents were here, he said expressionlessly, “Come in with me.”

The lights in the interrogation room were switched on, and it wasn’t as dark and oppressive as in the movies. There were two chairs behind a desk, and the two police officers sat upright. There was a row of wooden stools by the wall, and the police officers pointed at them. “Just sit there.”

Wang Yunmei sat in the middle while Jian Ai and Jian Yu sat beside her. One of the police officers looked up at them and said with a serious face, “We have a rough understanding of the situation. The school has surveillance videos and our police department has copied a copy of it. It can be used as evidence in court. You can file a criminal lawsuit against Li Yunmei, but I have to remind you that if this culprit was an adult, she might be sentenced to a few years in jail. However, Li Yunmei is a minor. Even if the lawsuit is established, she won’t have to bear any criminal responsibility. At most, she will be sent to the juvenile detention center for a year.”

“So…” The police officer paused for a moment before continuing, “Based on my years of experience, I suggest that you settle this privately. This way, you can get the financial compensation you want.”

Jian Ai spoke without thinking, “If the other party can satisfy my request, then I will agree to settle it privately.”

The police officer had initially been waiting for Wang Yunmei to speak, but he didn’t expect Jian Ai to make such a decision.

Wang Yunmei and Jian Yu were also stunned. They hadn’t thought about it yet, but it was obvious that Jian Ai had already thought about it.

Jian Ai then whispered to her mother and brother, “Mom, Brother, leave this to me. Trust me.”

Jian Ai’s tone was heavy, but her expression was abnormally calm and collected. Her hand gripped Wang Yunmei’s hand tightly as if she was sending her a message.

The two police officers looked at Jian Ai with admiration. One of them said to Jian Ai, “This lady is still so young, but she has her own views.”

As he spoke, the police officer stood up and invited Li Yunmei and her family in for a discussion. At this moment, Jian Ai suddenly said, “Uncle Police, I will only talk to Li Yunmei’s father.”

The police officer was stunned when he heard that. However, he thought about it and felt that there was nothing wrong with it. As long as it was Li Yunmei’s parents, they had the right to negotiate.

Not long after, Li Qiang followed the police into the interrogation room alone.

“The other party has agreed to settle this privately. As for the conditions, you can discuss them yourself,” the police officer said to Li Qiang.

Li Qiang heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this. As long as his daughter didn’t need to go to the juvenile detention center, he would do his best to satisfy whatever conditions the other party had.

“Uncle Police, please take my mother and brother outside to wait. I want to talk to Uncle Li alone.”

At this time, Jian Ai spoke again.

Everyone was stunned again. The two police officers looked at each other in surprise. They did not expect that the rhythm of the day would be in the hands of a young lady.
