After work in the afternoon, she got a call from Lu Yichen, asking her to leave ten minutes later. There was no need to drive; she could just ride in his car and go together.
Luo Qiao had just finished writing the materials in her hand, so she packed up her things and prepared to leave.
As she was leaving, there was still another teacher behind her. Luo Qiao said, "Teacher Huang, I’m heading out first. See you tomorrow."
Teacher Huang looked up and smiled, "Alright, see you tomorrow."
For a brief mont, Luo Qiao felt Teacher Huang’s expression seed a little unnatural, but then she saw him smiling and waving at her, so she didn’t think much of it and headed downstairs to leave the school.
When Luo Qiao reached the school gate, Lu Yichen was already waiting there.
She ran over with a smile: "How long have you been here?"
Lu Yichen opened the car door for her: "Just got here as well."
Luo Qiao got in and joked: "You’re really precise with your timing."
Lu Yichen got into the car: "Of course! On a chilly day, I can’t have my wife waiting outside."
Luo Qiao’s face lit up with a big smile, her heart warm: "Aren’t you supposed to be undercover? Driving this car, aren’t you afraid people will recognize you?"
Lu Yichen started the car and hit the road: "I’ll park a bit farther away later, and we’ll walk over together."
Luo Qiao took out her phone to call ho, and the call was picked up by Yueyue: "Hello, who’s calling?"
"It’s you I’m calling, Baby Yueyue."
"Mommy, are you off work?"
"Yes, but Daddy and I need to take care of sothing, so we’ll be ho a little late. Can you let Grandma Rong know?"
"Okay, but you two should co back soon."
"Got it. What are they doing now?"
"Sister took them to pick strawberries in the garden behind the house."
"Oh, then you go play too. Daddy and Mommy will co back after we’re done."
"Alright, bye-bye, Daddy and Mommy."
Lu Yichen parked the car so distance away from the police station. The couple got out and walked over, where Xin Yongzhong and his wife were already waiting.
As soon as Luo Qiao and Lu Yichen entered, soone ca to et them, not even giving them a chance to talk to Xin Yongzhong and his wife, and imdiately led the two into separate rooms for questioning.
After questioning, the overall situation was clear to the police station.
They gathered everyone together and announced that the incident wasn’t related to Xin Yongzhong and his wife, asking the elderly woman not to stir up trouble anymore.
The old lady wasn’t satisfied with this and began shouting on the spot, even ntioning a na, claiming it was her nephew.
The officers at the station called over the ntioned policeman. The elderly woman grabbed onto his hand: "Oh, dear nephew, you can’t ignore the family’s issue! Even if it was asking for it, my grandson ate their pastry, and that caused his illness. They should be responsible."
The officer struggled but couldn’t free his hand, and finally gave up: "Auntie, the facts are clear. I can’t help you with this."
The old lady wouldn’t let go: "Aren’t you a police officer? Isn’t it up to you? We’re still relatives within five degrees of kinship."
Hearing this, the officer’s expression turned helpless: "Auntie, I am a policeman, for sure, but I can’t bend the law for personal gain."
As the old woman continued tugging at him, another officer spoke up: "Ma’am, this is the police station, not your ho. If you keep making a fuss, don’t bla us for putting you in handcuffs."
Upon hearing this, the old lady finally backed off. Turning around, she spotted Luo Qiao and Lu Yichen standing not far away, and imdiately blad them for ruining her plans.
She began cursing: "Heartless scoundrels! Didn’t you see my Xiao Bao was in shock the other day? Shouldn’t they have taken responsibility?"
Luo Qiao wasn’t having it. This was truly ridiculous.
Unable to endure her behavior, she retorted: "Such a disgraceful old woman, shalessly begging for other people’s things. When they don’t give them to you, you act as if they’re in the wrong. Then when sothing happens, you want them to be held accountable!
Your grandson has a peanut allergy—how could outsiders possibly know? Since your grandson has this condition, shouldn’t you be more cautious with food? You dared to eat other people’s food without caution. It’s clear you didn’t care for your grandson from the start, and now you’re trying to shift the bla. Who’s truly heartless here?"
At this mont, the old woman’s son and daughter-in-law arrived, hoping to plead with Xin Yongzhong and Wang Buqin to let the old lady go, but Xin Yongzhong refused outright.
The police had already conducted investigations at the amusent park earlier in the day and had witness testimonies. In the end, the elderly woman was detained for three days and fined fifty yuan.
Lu Yichen was quite satisfied with the police station’s attitude and fair handling of the case. Since the matter was resolved justly, he didn’t reveal his identity but did make note of the nas of the two officers.
Luo Qiao watched as the hysterical elderly woman was led away, thinking to herself that this was truly a case of reaping what one sows.
When leaving the police station, the Xin couple wanted to invite Luo Qiao and Lu Yichen for a al, but Luo Qiao declined: "Helping you is good enough; no need for a al."
