The policeman felt his hair stand on end under Huo Shiqianâs intense gaze, but he steeled himself and said, "Uh, indeed, someone has accused you of improper relations between men and women, uh, and moreover, it was an actual public report, cough cough, so please come with us."
For some reason, the policeman felt his confidence waning as he spoke.
Huo Shiqianâs aura grew even colder.
And Xia Chuyi was ponderingâwho reported her?
Zhan Yi?
But what good would that do Zhan Yi?
As Xia Chuyi was thinking, the two policemen in front of her exchanged glances, feeling as though they were about to freeze to death, neither daring to make the first move.
"Uh, cough cough, this female student, if, uh, you havenât been involved in improper relations, cough cough, thereâs no need to be so nervous, just come to the police station and make a statement," one of the policemen finally said, feeling that the girl would probably be easier to talk to, addressing Xia Chuyi directly.
"But, uh, if, if you do not cooperate, uh, the station there might, might report it to your school."
"This matter..."
Suddenly, only a scornful chuckle from Uncle Liberation Army was heard, and the policeman couldnât continue his speech.
Silence for a few seconds.
Xia Chuyi tugged at Huo Shiqianâs sleeve, worried he might lose his temper.
Huo Shiqian patted her hand, signaling he was unbothered.
"I actually want to see who reported me," Uncle Liberation Army stated in an icy tone to the two policemen.
Then, with a sweeping arm, he shielded Xia Chuyi by his side and coldly said to the policemen, "Lead the way."
Policeman: "...okay."
After speaking, he involuntarily made a gesture of âplease.â
Policeman: Clearly here to arrest someone, why does it feel like theyâre reluctantly taking orders?
And, standing boldly hand in hand in front of the police, really isnât that hooliganism?
At the school gate, Huo Shiqian, protecting Xia Chuyi, got into the police car and instructed the policeman, "Drive."
Policeman in the driverâs seat: "Yes."
Who is arresting whom, exactly?
How can the arrested seem more justified than the arresters?
"Donât worry, Iâm here," Huo Shiqian said.
Xia Chuyi smiled and replied, "Iâm not afraid."
With Uncle Liberation Army there, Xia Chuyiâs dictionary didnât have the word âfear.â
The car silently made its way to the police station.
"Get out," the policemen said, opening the car door for Huo Shiqian and Xia Chuyi.
Huo Shiqian, without giving the policemen a glance, still holding Xia Chuyiâs hand tightly, led her out of the car.
Upon entering the police station, someone immediately asked, "Xiao Li, have you brought in the people you arrested?"
Just after asking, they saw Huo Shiqian and Xia Chuyi.
"Who are these two?" the person asked in confusion.
There was no helping it; both Huo Shiqian and Xia Chuyi, in both demeanor and expression, didnât seem like the arrested.
"Where is the interrogation room?" Huo Shiqian asked directly.
The two policemen who had brought him pointed silently to a spot.
Huo Shiqian directly led Xia Chuyi there.
Open the door, go inside, sit down, all in one go.
The following policemen: ...
"Cough cough, since you are being so cooperative, let me briefly introduce the situation."
"Itâs like this, today our police station received a public report stating that students from Kyoto University were involved in improper relations between men and women..."
Seeing Huo Shiqian emit an icy aura, the policeman quickly changed his tune, "Of course, the report might not be true, there could be false accusations."
"Moreover, the two field officers might have arrested the wrong persons."
