The slap stunned Huang Hui.
She cupped her stinging face as tears welled up in her eyes.
She shoved Jiang Sifan frantically with both hands. "Are you crazy?! You hit ! You actually dared to hit ! Believe it or not, I’m breaking up with you!"
SLAP!
SLAP!
Jiang Sifan slapped her twice more and cursed, "I thought if I worked hard to start my own business and beco a better man, I could keep you from feeling wronged all the ti. I knew you were vain and always comparing yourself to others, but I kept telling myself it was normal."
"But I never thought you’d betray our relationship so easily for an iPhone and a handbag!"
"You just asked if I believe you’re breaking up with ? Sorry."
Jiang Sifan said calmly, "I’m dumping you first."
With that, he stepped over the fallen Lin Qiang and strode away.
Huang Hui was completely dumbfounded.
She never expected that Jiang Sifan, who had always doted on her, could be so resolute.
She imdiately cried out, "Sifan, baby, I was wrong! I was really wrong."
But Lin Qiang, still on the ground, wasn’t about to let it go.
He pushed through the pain and got to his feet, running toward Jiang Sifan’s back to land a heavy blow.
Seeing this, the bodyguards who had been watching from the shadows imdiately sward forward.
"Hey, hey, what do you think you’re doing?!"
"Stop fighting!"
As he spoke, Lao Jiu shielded Jiang Sifan behind him.
anwhile, Lao Liu grabbed Lin Qiang.
Lin Qiang roared, "Let go of !"
The bodyguard, Lao Liu, took the opportunity to knee him. "Hey buddy, buddy, calm down."
"Fuck! Did you just knee ?!" Lin Qiang demanded, staring at Lao Liu.
"I’m breaking up the fight. I didn’t knee you," Lao Liu said, shaking his head.
Because they were causing such a huge scene in Wanda Plaza, all the mall’s security guards ca rushing over.
"What are you all doing?!"
"Stop it right now!"
Before long, everyone involved was taken away by the police to the station.
On the way there, Lin Qiang warned Jiang Sifan, "Jiang Sifan, you’re dead! You dared to hit ? I’ll make sure you rot in jail."
Jiang Sifan remained silent, but anxiety began to churn in his stomach.
’Yeah. Beating soone up felt good in the mont, but what about after? Then co the legal consequences. Even though there was a reason—those two betrayed —the law doesn’t care about that. At the end of the day, I still hit soone. No matter how you look at it, hitting people is just wrong.’
Now, at the police station, Jiang Sifan was clearly starting to get scared.
He also knew that Lin Qiang could afford to give Huang Hui an iPhone and designer bags, which ant his family must have considerable resources.
’What if they hire a good lawyer? Would that make my cri even more serious?’
For a mont, Jiang Sifan began to feel a pang of regret.
This was actually quite normal.
After all, he was only eighteen.
A freshman in college.
Just a hot-blooded youth.
It was even his first ti inside a police station.
It would be a lie to say he wasn’t scared.
Even an adult who’s been working for years would feel their hair stand on end if they had to go to the police station over so minor issue.
Right now, all he could do was cooperate with the police’s questions.
Whatever they asked, he answered.
「anwhile.」
Jiang Yixia told Jiang Silu what had happened.
Jiang Silu was in her evening class at the ti.
As soon as she heard the news, she imdiately snuck out the back door of the classroom.
Jiang Silu called Lu Fan, her voice choked with tears.
"Is my brother going to be okay?"
Lu Fan, who had just gotten off a plane, imdiately comforted her. "Lulu, don’t worry. I’m back in Jinling now. Your brother was taken to the Chongyang District police station for fighting. I’m heading over there to check on him."
Jiang Silu asked anxiously, "Can I go too?"
"Okay, I’ll have soone pick you up," Lu Fan suggested.
"No, no, that’s okay! I’ll take a taxi." Jiang Silu knew Lu Fan was capable, so she begged, "You have to help him."
"Don’t worry, Lulu. He’s your brother, but he’s also my son. As long as I’m here, nothing will happen to him."
Lu Fan’s words eased so of Jiang Silu’s anxiety.
Still, she didn’t dare to delay. She rushed off campus as fast as she could to hail a Didi to the Chongyang District police station.
「At the sa ti.」
Lu Fan had Jiali call one of his contacts in the Chongyang District leadership.
Once everything was arranged, he led his n to the police station.
Jiang Sifan was currently being questioned by the police.
During the questioning, another officer ca in, whispered a few words to the officer taking the statent, and then left.
The officer taking the statent then gestured and said, "Alright, Sifan, you can just sign your na here."
Jiang Sifan’s heart had been filled with despair, but upon hearing this, he asked cautiously, "Am I... going to jail?"
"This is considered a personal dispute. Besides, they were the ones at fault emotionally. If neither party presses charges against the other, then it’s fine," the officer advised.
Of course, Jiang Sifan had no intention of pressing charges.
’After all, they called it a mutual brawl, but in reality, it was against the two of them.’
So he signed the statent.
Walking out of the interrogation room, Jiang Sifan could still hear Lin Qiang roaring from another room, "He’s the one who hit ! It wasn’t a mutual fight! There was no mutual fight! I was the only one getting hit!"
He didn’t know if he would actually be able to leave without any further trouble.
Just then, Jiang Sifan saw soone he did not want to see.
Lu Fan walked up to him and asked, "Are you okay?"
Jiang Sifan looked at him, a little surprised to see him there so suddenly.
But he still didn’t want to talk to him.
At that mont, Jiang Silu finally arrived, out of breath.
As soon as she saw Jiang Sifan, she ran over and asked frantically, "Brother, are you... are you okay?"
"Silu? What are you doing here?" Jiang Sifan asked in surprise.
"Mom told you were in trouble, so I ca right away." Jiang Silu imdiately began checking Jiang Sifan’s arms and head. "Are you okay? You’re not hurt, are you?"
Jiang Sifan recalled the officer asking him for a parent’s contact number earlier.
’The police must have told Jiang Yixia everything back then. As for this annoying Lu Fan, Mom must have been the one who asked him to help.’
"I’ve been a great fighter since I was a kid. You think soone could hurt ?" he said, feigning composure.
"Oh, look at you, Mr. Tough Guy," Jiang Silu retorted. "Was it worth it, for a woman like that? I told you she was no good, but you just wouldn’t listen to ."
Seeing that she was about to start nagging him again, Jiang Sifan cut her off. "Alright, let’s not talk about that."
A mont later, a police officer ca out and gestured. "The other party has agreed to drop the matter. You’re free to go."
Hearing this, the weight on Jiang Sifan’s heart finally lifted.
Lu Fan smiled. "Alright, it’s all over. Let drive you two back."
"No, thanks."
With that, Jiang Sifan pulled Jiang Silu along. "Let’s go, Sis. I’ll get a taxi to take you back."
"Hey, Brother... Actually, Uncle Lu, he..." Jiang Silu wanted to explain that as soon as Lu Fan heard he was in trouble, he had rushed over here imdiately.
’That must an Lu Fan really cares about Sifan.’
But right now, Jiang Sifan looked at Lu Fan the sa way he looked at Lin Qiang and Huang Hui.
Jiang Silu looked back at Lu Fan with an apologetic expression.
But Lu Fan just nodded and replied, "Be careful on your way back."
"We’ve been careful for eighteen years. We don’t need your concern now," Jiang Sifan said coldly.
