Chapter 153: Luo Ziling’s Little Scheme
Translator: 549690339
Cao Jianhui was fiery tempered and immediately rushed forward, viciously cursing the brawny man for spouting nonsense and clarified the real situation, “Officer, we were the ones who called the police. We are students from Yan University and after having a meal together today, we thought of coming here to sing. Unexpectedly, several thugs tried to harass one of our female classmates. When we stepped forward to advise them, they wouldn’t listen and even started to hit us, so we had to fight back. Then they gathered a bunch of thugs, and the security guards colluded with them. At first, they didn’t intervene, and later they even tried to join the thugs in a group assault on us.”
Seething with anger, Cao Jianhui yelled at the police, “What this man just said was completely distorted. We didn’t try to grab any gun; it was the security guard who tried to draw his gun to shoot at us.”
The policeman frowned upon hearing that Cao Jianhui was a student from Yan University.
Yan University was one of the most prestigious institutions in Huaxia, and its students were often described as the ‘proud of heaven’, whom ordinary people would not provoke. Now, it turned out that the troublemakers were a group of students, which meant the situation wasn’t going to be easy to handle.
The brawny man was the person who had just come out from the monitoring room. Before this, he did not know that the group consisted of students from Yan University and had assumed they were young people who had already started working.
“Damn it, I’ve been set up,” the brawny man felt a surge of grief and filled with resentment towards the handsome young man from before.
“What exactly happened?” The leading policeman, knowing that the situation was not as simple as it seemed, sternly demanded an explanation from Cao Jianhui and the brawny man.
At that moment, Luo Ziling’s other classmates also walked out of the private room. As they did, Cao Jianhui once again stated that they were students from Yan University and took out his student ID, which he had only received a few days ago, and showed it to the police.
The policeman took it, glanced at it, and handed it back to Cao Jianhui.
Lin Lin, accompanied by Li Duoduo, bravely approached the police and recounted how she had been harassed by several hooligans in the restroom, and how Luo Ziling and classmates like Cao Jianhui had come to her defense, leading to a scuffle between both parties.
Then Cao Jianhui, with a tone full of rage, relayed the sequence of events once more, particularly emphasizing the incident where the head of security drew a gun on Luo Ziling.
After hearing what Lin Lin and Cao Jianhui said, the police were still skeptical. Unless they had witnessed the event themselves, they genuinely had no way to believe that Luo Ziling alone could have knocked down so many people.
Looking at the other students, besides Luo Ziling and Cao Jianhui, the six other young men didn’t seem like skilled martial artists. With their abilities, the idea of knocking down nearly thirty people was inconceivable.
But the reality was just that, a dozen or so local young troublemakers, as well as security guards armed with police equipment, had all been knocked to the ground. The gun on the floor was indeed real.
The leading policeman immediately signaled his colleagues to pick up the gun from the ground.
A policeman put on gloves, carefully picked up the gun, and placed it into a plastic bag, sealing it properly.
“You all need to come back with us to the police station,” the leading police officer commanded, intending to take both parties involved to the police station and decide how to deal with the matter after questioning and understanding their statements.
He knew today’s incident was not simple and was also aware of the strong backing behind the KTV. The brawny man who had first accused them was an old acquaintance of theirs, and they knew his boss was not someone to be trifled with.
On the students’ side, they couldn’t be easily pressured either. Involving so many students, the leaders of Yan University were bound to make an appearance.
There must be experts among the students, otherwise, they couldn’t possibly have knocked down so many people. To dare to start a fight inside this KTV, they must have had some support. How to resolve this case was not something that these ordinary police officers could decide. Both parties involved would surely pull strings, and it was best to let those in power have their turn. They were no match for the fallout.
The underlying powers should spar with each other and settle on a winner before the leaders decided on how to handle the situation.
For now, their job was to take all the involved parties to the police station along with all the evidence.
The leading policeman believed that by the time they returned to the police station, both sides would have made their respective calls and backers willing to intervene would either show up at the police station or phone their leaders, with those higher-ups then coming over to deal with the situation.
A police officer went to the surveillance room and requested the videos taken by several surveillance cameras near the scene. Photos of the scene were also taken. Luo Ziling and his eleven classmates, as well as those hoodlums and security guards he had knocked to the ground, were all taken to the police station.
However, that muscular man didn’t go over, and some of the people injured by Luo Ziling were first taken to the police station.
“These people were really injured by you?” After arrangements were made, the lead police officer walked up to Luo Ziling, who had been mostly silent, and asked in a low voice, “Alone?”
“Yes,” Luo Ziling hesitated for a moment but ultimately admitted, “They struck first, and I was forced to counterattack.”
“You alone took down more than thirty people?” The police officer still found it hard to believe and asked again.
“That’s right,” Luo Ziling didn’t deny, “I’ve learned martial arts; they were no match for me!”
The police officer looked at Luo Ziling with astonishment and finally said no more.
Luo Ziling’s martial prowess, coupled with his composure, made the police reaffirm that he was no ordinary individual.
As a result, after being taken to the police station, Luo Ziling did not receive any unfair treatment, and the responding officers were quite polite to him.
The auxiliaries’ attitude was a bit worse, but after knowing that Luo Ziling alone had taken down more than thirty people, their expressions changed, and nobody dared to look at Luo Ziling with anger.
Cao Jianhui and the other ten classmates all went to the police station as well, with Cao Jianhui loyally sticking by Luo Ziling’s side, never leaving him by more than a few steps.
On the way to the police station, he called his brother again to ask about the situation. Cao Jianguang told Cao Jianhui that he had already spoken with the school authorities, but things were not going smoothly as it was nighttime, though he would try his best to look into the matter.
“Boss, why don’t you mention it to Ouyang Huihui, ask if she knows someone inside the police station,” Cao Jianhui quietly suggested to Luo Ziling as they were arriving at the police station.
Upon hearing Cao Jianhui’s suggestion, Luo Ziling immediately thought of what had happened when the police responded to his last call, and it sparked a thought.
But he immediately rejected Cao Jianhui’s suggestion; he did not want to ask Ouyang Feifei or Ouyang Huihui for help!
He hadn’t done anything wrong in today’s incident; the error was on the part of those others, those whom he had injured. Feeling that his actions were just, Luo Ziling wasn’t worried about being convicted by the police.
Of course, he had another thought.
That was to hope that the woman who held a very special place in his heart would step in to save him.
After his previous conflict with Li Dongjun, she became aware of it almost immediately and intervened.
Reflecting on it later, he figured she must have instructed someone to keep an eye on his every move.
Today, after such a major incident, she would surely know about it the instant it happened and would intervene.
If that were the case… he could see her again.
