Chapter 19: The Smart Gu Man

It was more than ten minutes later when Chief Ou stepped into the principal’s office.

The tall and serious Ou Yang was the chief of the police headquarters in Han City. His long career as a police officer always made him look dignified.

Other than the two students in the room, Gu Man and Li Guo, the rest of them knew each other.

Principal Wu quickly went forward. Before he could speak, he was interrupted by Li Guo’s mother’s familiar voice.

“Chief Ou, I didn’t expect you to come personally!” Li Guo’s mother said obsequiously.

Principal Wu was very unhappy that his lines were stolen. This was clearly his territory.

Ou Yang nodded silently and walked towards Bai Yun. He was slightly stunned when he saw Xiang Yin behind him.

Ou Yang was about to speak when Xiang Yin shook his head slightly. Ou Yang swallowed the words “Master Xiang” that he was about to say.

Then, he turned to Bai Yun. “Young Master Bai!”

Bai Yun looked at Gu Man. “Chief Ou, it’s a school bullying incident. That female student will tell you the details. Please settle it.”

Ou Yang nodded. After understanding the entire incident, he immediately instructed the few people he brought to retrieve the school’s surveillance footage and find some other students to give their statements.

Many of those students usually participated in bullying Gu Man. At this moment, when they saw the police, they felt extremely guilty and threw out some of Li Guo’s actions.

After obtaining the evidence, Ou Yang said sternly, “Li Guo, come with me to the police station!”

Li Guo had started to feel guilty and frightened when he saw Ou Yang. Now, he was so frightened that he could not stand steadily.

Li Guo hugged his mother’s leg weakly. “Mom, I don’t want to go to the police station. Hurry up and think of a way to save me. I don’t want to go there!”

Li Guo’s mother was also starting to panic. Things were completely out of her control.

“Chief Ou, there’s… there’s no need to go to the police station, right? It’s just a fight between two children. Let’s just settle it in private.”

“A fight between two children? Your son is already 18 years old this year. He has been insulting and threatening Gu Man for the past few months. His actions are extremely horrible and already constitute a crime. Now that there are witnesses and evidence, stop obstructing official business. Take him away!”

With a wave of Ou Yang’s hand, the few people behind him came up and forcefully pulled Li Guo away.

Ou Yang walked up to Bai Yun and Xiang Yin and reminded them, “This female student also has to go to the police station to assist in the investigation.”

Xiang Yin looked at Gu Man.

“Okay!” Gu Man nodded.

“Don’t worry, we’re just going to the police station to record your statement.” Xiang Yin lowered his head and said softly to Gu Man.

“Thank you!” Gu Man was sincerely grateful.

Although she was confident that she could resolve this matter herself, it would still be troublesome. No matter what their motives were, they had saved her a lot of trouble.

The corners of Xiang Yin’s lips curled up slightly. He was actually in a much better mood because of this thank you.

This girl had always been cold, as if nothing entered her heart. Now that she was thanking him, he could feel her sincerity.

Bai Yun and Xiang Yin walked toward the car.

On the way, Bai Yun said belatedly, “Did that girl thank you?”

“Mm.”

“Did she ask you to convey her gratitude to me?”

“No!”

“No? That’s not right. I retrieved the footage for her and called the police. What about you? You only said a few words. Why is that little girl only thanking you?”

“She’s smart!”

Bai Yun wailed, “I’m destined to run errands!”

At the Gu residence.

“What? Gu Man hit the Li family’s son, but the Li family’s son is in the police station?” Qu Bei shouted with a face full of disbelief.

Wasn’t this the opposite?

Seeing that Qu Bei could not hide her thoughts, Gu Rou frowned slightly.

No matter what, Gu Man was a member of the Gu family. As a member of the Gu family, she should be happy that Gu Man was fine. It was not good for Zhang Yue to see Qu Bei’s expression.

Gu Rou smiled and said to Zhang Yue, “Brother Yue, look at how stunned my mother is. She’s already prepared for the worst. Now that the matter has suddenly been resolved so smoothly, she can’t react in time!”

Qu Bei immediately cleared up. “That’s right. Look at me. I’m just too emotional. I’m usually strict with Gu Man and my words are harsh, but it’s for her own good!”

“Auntie, I know. Gu Man has a bad personality. You’re already being kind to her!” Zhang Yue did not think otherwise.

“The Gu family and the Li family should discuss how to resolve the rest. I’ll get going first!” Zhang Yue left the Gu family home.

Qu Bei hoped that he would leave quickly. She had a bunch of questions to ask Gu Rou.
