Although the statent was finished and it wasn't much to do with Luo Yanran anymore, Xie Xiao still sat there waiting with her.
After all, the Liu brothers hadn't been caught yet.
The police officer surnad Li had also asked them to wait.
Qi Yan still felt uneasy, concerned about what would happen if other gangs were involved after the Liu brothers were arrested.
What if there was retaliation?
He had already grabbed his phone to call his dad, asking for soone to protect them.
Xie Xiao did not refuse his offer, realizing the seriousness of the situation; he might not care for himself, but he couldn't be careless about Luo Yanran.
Luo Yanran, on the other hand, clasped Xie Xiao's hand tightly and furrowed her brows as if thinking about sothing.
At that mont, the police were communicating with Wang Wan in the hospital room, as they thought it would be better for Wang Wan to inform her family.
However, Wang Wan said there was no need, as her family lived far away and she did not want them to panic and rush over.
After leaving the hospital room, Officer Li glanced at the couple and then asked Luo Yanran, "Do you want to inform your parents? Today's incident didn't directly involve you, but you were injured after all."
Xie Xiao thought about the minor scrapes on Luo Yanran's leg and couldn't help frowning.
The wounds weren't severe, but Luo Yanran was so pale that Xie Xiao had felt very distressed upon seeing them.
Luo Yanran, as if jolted back to reality, shook her head, "No need to worry them, I'm fine, it really wasn't much to do with ."
Officer Li nodded, "That's fine, then."
He glanced at his watch, "It's just after two in the afternoon, have you guys eaten yet? If not, rember to get sothing to eat, don't go hungry."
Only then did Xie Xiao realize it was already past two.
In his rush to get here and with all the commotion, he actually hadn't quite co back to his senses yet.
This is not sothing to dwell on; the more he thought, the more terrified he felt.
What if no one had stood up?
Would Luo Yanran have been dragged into the car as well?
The mont that thought crossed his mind, Xie Xiao beca even more terrified.
So it wasn't just Luo Yanran who hadn't snapped back to reality; he hadn't either.
It was only after Officer Li's reminder that Xie Xiao softly asked, "Do you want sothing to eat?"
Luo Yanran shook her head and suddenly looked at Officer Li, "Officer, I have a question, and I don't know if I should ask…"
She looked hesitant.
Officer Li was a bit surprised but soon smiled, "There's nothing you shouldn't ask, just go ahead."
He and his colleagues had indeed been surprised when this brave young woman stood up to intervene.
After all, these days, it's rare to find soone so courageous, especially a young girl.
Luo Yanran glanced at Xie Xiao and t his focusing gaze.
She suddenly felt courageous. "Well, I noticed when Wang Wan was being dragged into the car, there were many bystanders around. I found it strange that no one was helping, and when I approached…"
She paused, "I was too hasty to notice initially, but now I rember, the woman who loudly claid Wang Wan was just quarreling with Liu Cun had been on the other side. She only ca over to stop after she saw . I don't think this fits the behavior of a re onlooker, as who would go so out of their way to stop ..."
Luo Yanran frowned, "It seed odd, or could there really be such helpful people?"
Xie Xiao understood what Luo Yanran ant, suspecting that the aunt who had grabbed her and loudly suggested it was a lovers' quarrel was suspicious.
On further thought, it did seem off; amid such a public spectacle, tugging and dragging certainly would have drawn attention, and even if it were a scenario to diate, wouldn't soone have stepped in?
But when Luo Yanran saw the scene, it was filled with bystanders eager to watch the commotion but no one stepped forward? Sothing wasn't right.
Especially if a "neighbor" were to say nearby, "These two are just a couple from our community. Look how half-heartedly the girl is struggling. Don't get involved unnecessarily..."
With such a comnt, most people really wouldn't intervene, would they?
Xie Xiao understood what Luo Yanran ant.
Officer Li naturally did too, his expression turning serious as he nodded, "I'll give my colleague a call. Thank you, Student Luo. Your statent is very helpful to us."
As he spoke, he quickly picked up his phone and walked out while dialing.
After speaking out, Luo Yanran finally let out a sigh of relief.
Xie Xiao squeezed her hand with so distress, "Our Ranran did great."
What he really wanted to say was, could you please not be so impulsive next ti?
But he also knew that now was not the ti for that.
He himself was feeling the aftereffects of fright, and as the person who had experienced these events, Luo Yanran must have been even more scared.
So Xie Xiao didn't ntion it and instead soothed softly, "It's alright now, I'm here. Do you want sothing to eat?"
Luo Yanran gripped his hand tightly and whispered, "I'm not hungry, don't leave ."
Xie Xiao softly humd a response, "Even if you're not hungry, you should eat sothing. I'll order so takeout..."
While he was speaking, the elevator in the corridor opened and Qi Yan walked over carrying a big bag.
"Just went to grab so food and thought to bring you guys sothing. I guessed you might not have much of an appetite, so I brought porridge," said Qi Yan as he handed the bag to Xie Xiao, reassuring, "Sis-in-law, don't worry, I borrowed a few bodyguards from my dad. They'll be here soon."
Xie Xiao was genuinely grateful, "Thanks, brother."
"Hey, we're brothers, no need for thanks," Qi Yan waved his hand.
Luo Yanran also earnestly said, "Thank you, Qi Yan."
"Hey, hey, hey, you guys are making blush. One calls brother, the other sister, it's only right I help. Sis, don't worry, I even made sure to get a female bodyguard," said Qi Yan.
He hesitated before adding, "Maybe, I an, my dad suggested that there's an apartnt nearby in our neighborhood. You guys could stay there for the night. It's a bit difficult for bodyguards to follow you around in school..."
Because Qi Yan went ho every week, he wasn't aware that Xie Xiao also didn't stay in the dorms on weekends.
Of course, he hadn't caught on to the fact that Xie Xiao and Luo Yanran had a small apartnt together.
It was only then that Xie Xiao told him about the small apartnt Luo Yanran had outside, where they could stay.
Qi Yan gave a thumbs-up, "That's my brother for you."
Outstanding, and even your girlfriend is rich and beautiful.
Eventually, around four or five in the afternoon, Xie Xiao still took Luo Yanran back first.
Taking along the three bodyguards from Qi Yan's family as well. Stay updated through empire
After giving a few words of advice, Qi Yan also left.
After all, he had been there for most of the day, which was already quite good.
Officer Li also said that their people would secretly follow them as well.
Although the Liu brothers hadn't been arrested yet, the police were already on to them.
The main thing was to see if they would lead them to the person behind the scenes.
As for the neighbor who had blocked Luo Yanran, it turned out there was indeed sothing off. It was only upon investigation that it was discovered the so-called neighbor's house was also rented.
When the police arrived, she was negotiating with the landlord to terminate her lease.
