A few girls exchanged glances and then nodded in unison, "Alright, we'll go back with you. We will fight against the forces of evil to the end."
The police officer added, "After giving your statements, you'll have to find your own way back."
The girls immediately began to mutter amongst themselves and then waved their hands, saying, "Then forget it. We were just passing by and happened to see it."
The police officer, startling them, said, "Just happening to see it won't do. The person who reported it must give a statement."
The girls pushed the responsibility onto each other, "We didn't report it. There are a lot of people here, maybe they reported it."
Hearing them say this, the police officer paid them no more attention and walked towards Xiao Xun and Li Chenggang.
"Since someone has reported the incident, you must come with us to accept the investigation!"
Li Chenggang pointed at Xiao Xun, "He hit me, and I didn't even fight back. Why should I go? Besides, I have injuries on my face."
Ever since the last incident, he had developed a resistance to the police station, fearing he would get entangled.
The police officer said with a blank expression, "He hit you, and quite a few people have reported it to me. But you still have to go back and resolve it! How it should be handled, it will be handled, right?"
Hearing the police officer say this, although Li Chenggang was unwilling a million times over, he still said, "Okay, I will definitely cooperate with the investigation."
As Xiao Xun and Chu Ningxiang were being taken away by the police, those girls said, "Looking at this man, he doesn't seem like a good person at all."
Just as they entered the police station, before reaching the interrogation room, Li Chenggang clutched his head and said he felt dizzy, then began to retch.
Chu Ningxiang frowned, "Li Chenggang, stop pretending. My boyfriend didn't hit you hard at all."
Upon hearing this, Li Chenggang immediately sat on the ground, holding his head, his expression one of extreme pain, "I'm not pretending! My head is just hurting terribly."
The police officer was at a loss and said to Xiao Xun, "Why don't you just pay some money and let it go? Time is more important than money for you."
Xiao Xun was about to nod when Li Chenggang, clutching his head and retching, said, "Paying money won't solve the problem! I think I have a concussion now and need to go to the hospital for an X-ray."
Hearing this, the police officer also frowned, "Student, isn't that enough?"
Li Chenggang immediately became angry, and his headache vanished, "What do you mean, 'isn't that enough'? I was assaulted, and you're not upholding justice for me, but siding with him. I understand now, you're looking at him because he has money, as expected..." He rolled his eyes, not daring to finish.
Seeing Li Chenggang causing such a scene, Chu Ningxiang felt like beating him, but Xiao Xun stopped her.
He walked up to the police officer who had spoken earlier and said, "How about this! I see he's quite unwell. I agree to take him to the hospital, and I will bear all medical expenses until this student's condition is fully recovered."
The police officer whispered a reminder, "He's trying to extort you."
Xiao Xun said confidently, "It's alright. Just issue a mediation agreement. Make sure to clearly state that he voluntarily waives compensation and wishes to receive treatment."
The police officer looked at Xiao Xun, unsure of his intentions, but still issued the mediation agreement as Xiao Xun requested.
Li Chenggang was asked to sign it. He read the mediation agreement clause by clause, and finally nodded, "Alright, I have no objections."
After speaking, he wrote his name on it and pressed his fingerprint.
Xiao Xun didn't waste any words, wrote his name, pressed his fingerprint, and then took out his phone, saying to the person on the other end, "Dr. Li, please come over!"
At this moment, an ambulance from a mental hospital appeared at the police station entrance.
Several doctors in white coats walked in, "Which one is Mr. Xiao?"
Xiao Xun nodded, "You must be Dr. Li! I am Xiao Xun."
The doctor walked over, "Where is the patient?"
Before Xiao Xun could point him out, Li Chenggang, holding his head, said, "Doctor, it's me! I'm sick..."
The attending doctor looked at Xiao Xun, asking with his eyes. Xiao Xun nodded, confirming.
"Then take him away!"
With that, the stretcher bearers behind him opened the stretchers, placed Li Chenggang on them, and fastened the restraints.
The police officer was stunned and asked Xiao Xun, "Where did you find these doctors? Why do the stretchers have these things?"
After they had carried Li Chenggang out, Xiao Xun said to the police officers, "Because they are all doctors and nurses from the Chengnan Mental Illness Treatment Hospital, commonly known as the Fifth Hospital."
Chu Ningxiang, standing beside Xiao Xun, chuckled, grabbed his shoulder, and said, "You're too wicked. At that place, even healthy people would turn into lunatics."
Xiao Xun shrugged, "What does that have to do with me? He insisted he was sick. With a heart of healing and saving people, of course, I had to provide selfless treatment."
The police officer then said, "Oh! The mental hospital in Chengnan charges quite a lot. You should have said so earlier, I have their phone number, and they are cheaper."
He didn't expect the police officer to have such a 'naughty' side.
After leaving the police station and returning to the school entrance, they sat in the car.
Xiao Xun took a delicate small box from the armrest box, "I don't have much to give you. This is for you."
He then handed the small box to Chu Ningxiang.
Chu Ningxiang smiled and said, "Thank you," holding the box in her hand.
Xiao Xun hoped to hear Chu Ningxiang's surprised voice, but she didn't even open the box, "Aren't you going to open it and see?"
She refused, "No need. As long as it's a gift from you, I like it."
Xiao Xun didn't insist further, lowered his head and said, "Didn't you say it was unclear over the phone? I'm here to talk to you about that matter."
Chu Ningxiang looked at Xiao Xun, "Can you look at me when you speak? That's very impolite, you know?"
Xiao Xun looked at Chu Ningxiang. This cool and spirited girl, at this moment, had red eyes.
Looking at her, Xiao Xun felt a pang of reluctance. She was perhaps the first girl he had feelings for, but they were destined to have no future, as they were not from the same world. He couldn't possibly hold this girl back for a lifetime.
Xiao Xun sighed softly, "Okay, since I'm here, I hope you can take this matter with grace. We weren't really a couple, at most, we just had mutual affection.
Let me put it this way: we are not from the same world, and I am not worthy of a girl like you. I hope you find happiness."
Chu Ningxiang looked at Xiao Xun, "Are you done?"
Xiao Xun nodded, "From your words, I hear that you have your own difficulties. Actually, you like me, but you're forced by some无奈, aren't you?"
Xiao Xun thought for a moment and nodded, "Something like that."
Chu Ningxiang said confidently, "Then it's easy. Tell me, what are your difficulties? I can understand anything, and as long as you're willing, I can smooth over anything for you."
Xiao Xun didn't know where Chu Ningxiang's confidence came from, "It's not as simple as you think. My matters cannot be smoothed over by you."
"What can't be smoothed over? Do you know who my father is? Kang Zhong, the renowned real estate tycoon and chairman of Yilong Real Estate."
Xiao Xun bit his lower lip, "Let me put it this way: if your father were the Jade Emperor, then this matter might still have a chance. Anything less won't work."
Chu Ningxiang clenched her fist, "I see it now. You just want to reject me, but you don't have to say it like that! I know what your little issues are. Is my family not richer than Saint Romancy? Am I not younger and prettier than that Miss Mu? If you're going to live off someone, why not live off me?"
Xiao Xun's expression turned extremely unpleasant, and his tone became stiff, "What do you mean by living off someone? I can overlook it if others say that, but for you to say it too, am I that kind of person?"
Chu Ningxiang was also on the verge of exploding, "How are you not? Do you know what people say about you outside? Do you know how much pressure I have to endure to be with you?"
Xiao Xun turned his head towards the car window, "Since that's the case, there's nothing more to say. I told you, we are not from the same world. Take care of yourself."
Chu Ningxiang abruptly pushed open the car door, "Fine, if that's the case, then from now on, neither of us knows the other."
