Why do this?

“Why are you like this? You think you can just brush us off like that?” Jiang Xizhi was also getting anxious.

“What’s wrong? We have procedures here. Fill out the form if you want, or get lost if you don’t.”

The male police officer was increasingly impatient, seeing as the two in front of him were just girls and assuming they couldn’t cause much trouble.

Jiang Xizhi grew even more anxious, pulling out her phone to make a call on the side.

After that, she and Zhou Yining waited there for a while, during which the male police officer repeatedly urged them to leave.

About fifteen minutes later, the male police officer received a call.

His face paled, and after hanging up, he hurriedly apologized to Zhou Yining and Jiang Xizhi.

“Ladies, I’m so sorry. Please fill out the form quickly, and I’ll have my colleagues check the surveillance footage from all the internet cafes right away.

If you don’t mind waiting, you can wait in the rest area. Rest assured, at the latest, by this afternoon, we’ll definitely give you an answer.”

The male police officer quickly stood up.

He called in a few colleagues and told them the addresses and names of the internet cafes, and they quickly took action.

Zhou Yining had already filled out the form and handed it over.

“Is this alright now?”

“Yes, yes, please go to the rest area to wait. You won’t be able to rest well here.”

As he spoke, the male police officer enthusiastically led the two to the rest area.

Once out of the rest area, the male police officer’s clothes were almost soaked with sweat.

Just now, the big boss had called him, asking him if he didn’t want to keep his job, acting half-dead and not properly receiving the people reporting the case, pulling a long face at who knows who.

Combining that with the scene of the girl making a phone call just now, he felt that these two girls probably had a significant background.

If he didn’t handle things properly, he might really be fired, so he quickly coordinated actions everywhere.

Still uneasy, the male police officer even specially bought two cups of milk tea from the milk tea shop outside and brought them to Zhou Yining and Jiang Xizhi.

Because of the urging from above, Zhou Yining’s matter was handled quickly.

Technical personnel, after comparing, also found the common figures in these surveillance videos, and verified their identity information on the public security system’s website.

The male police officer then applied for an arrest warrant, and in the afternoon, he could take people to bring Tian Xue back for interrogation.

At noon, the male police officer even ordered box lunches for Zhou Yining and Jiang Xizhi.

After the male police officer left the rest area, Zhou Yining sighed and said,

“It’s too hard for ordinary people to get justice. If it weren’t for your phone call today, this matter of mine might have dragged on forever.”

Thinking like this, Zhou Yining understood the original Zhou Yining’s helplessness even more.

It was like the previous incidents; she was lucky each time she called the police, encountering more empathetic female police officers.

Otherwise, the previous incidents might not have been resolved so smoothly.

Moreover, she had many people helping her then, but what did the original Zhou Yining have?

She only had her original family brainwashing and PUA-ing her, and a good friend stabbing her in the back.

Seeing that Zhou Yining’s mood wasn’t high, Jiang Xizhi quickly moved closer.

She reached out and shook Zhou Yining’s wrist, “Don’t be unhappy. I’ll always be by your side to keep you company, and I won’t let anything happen to you.”

Zhou Yining reached out and pulled Jiang Xizhi over, embracing her.

Zhou Yining really felt a little tired.

She hadn’t had a moment’s rest since transmigrating, encountering all sorts of troubles from the original Zhou Yining, and also having to deal with various things at school.

Seeing her hug herself, Jiang Xizhi quickly returned the embrace.

Zhou Yining calmed down for a while and quickly adjusted.

She thought that it was fortunate that she was the one handling these matters.

“I’m alright. Let’s eat first. We’ll see what Tian Xue has to say this afternoon.” Zhou Yining returned to her usual calm.

“Okay.” Jiang Xizhi accompanied her, sitting down to eat together.

Soon, the two finished their box lunches.

Zhou Yining said, “Let’s go out and wait.”

“Alright, it’s a little after one now. I don’t know when Tian Xue will be here.”

The two went out of the rest area together.

The male police officer was still working overtime on this matter.

Seeing the two come over, he quickly stood up and said with a smile, “My colleagues have already gone to pick her up according to the address.

She should be back soon. Do you two need anything else?”

“It’s nothing. We just want to wait here for a while,” Zhou Yining said.

“Alright, then please sit here and wait.”

After speaking, the male police officer thoughtfully poured tea for the two in disposable cups, his attitude a stark contrast to that morning.

A little after two o’clock, three police officers brought Tian Xue back to the police station.

When Tian Xue saw Zhou Yining, her expression was terribly gloomy, completely unlike her usual self.

Zhou Yining stood up and looked at Tian Xue, her gaze fixed on Tian Xue’s eyes.

“Why? Aren’t we good friends? Why did you do that?”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about. I haven’t done anything.” The gloomy color on Tian Xue’s face had already disappeared.

She looked at Zhou Yining like an innocent victim.

“It’s no use saying all this. The video of you posting on that 11 school forum has been retrieved.

It’s impossible for things to be that coincidental in this world.

Moreover, you’re also in the surveillance video of the confession wall in our school,” Zhou Yining stared intently at Tian Xue.

“So what if it’s me? Can’t I go to the internet cafe? I didn’t do anything illegal, right?” Tian Xue still refused to admit it.

“Every time you go to an internet cafe, there’s one more post with my love letter on a school’s forum.

Do you think anyone will believe that? You can lie, but the IP address of the post won’t lie.

Besides, among the people entering and exiting the internet cafe during the time the post was made, you’re the only one who knows me.

This evidence is already sufficient to prove that you did it,”

Zhou Yining continued to look at her calmly and said.

Tian Xue obviously couldn’t hold it in any longer.

She retorted, “So what if I did it? I’m not 18 years old yet. I’m a minor. You…”

“Anyone who is over 16 years old is considered an adult, and besides, the number of views on the posts you fabricated has long exceeded ten thousand. You will still be punished.”

“You say I’ll be punished? Zhou Yining, you’re really ridiculous. Do you know what I hate most is you now? I only liked you before.”

Zhou Yining looked at her coldly, “Why? Why did you send my love letter to the school’s confession wall? Why did you send the love letter to other schools’ forums? Aren’t we friends? Why?”

“Why? Zhou Yining, I just liked you when you were silly. Back then, you and I were the same. We were both ostracized by the people in the class, and no one wanted to play with us.

Wasn’t I helping you by sending your love letter to the confession wall? That way, everyone would hate you even more, and you, you stupid fool, would rely on me, your friend, even more.

Besides, wasn’t I helping you confess by doing that? If it weren’t for me, Zhang Ye wouldn’t even know you liked him now. You should thank me.”

Tian Xue’s eyes, hidden behind her glasses, radiated malice.

Zhou Yining shook her head, taking a few deep breaths before speaking,

“You’re crazy. You’re simply crazy. I’m ostracized, I’m hated by the school, so your heart can be balanced, right? Did you ever think that I would collapse, that I couldn’t take it?

You should know about my mental state. I suffered bullying before going to school. If I had known you were stabbing me in the back then, I might not have even been able to live.

Did you ever think about any of this?”

“Why would I think about that? I only know that if you’re the same as me, or even worse off than me, then the friendship between us will be strong.

Zhou Yining, look at you now. You’re doing well in your studies, you have other friends by your side. Do you still care about me, your friend?”

“If I really didn’t care, I wouldn’t tutor you in math, and I wouldn’t go to the cafeteria with you every day.

I really can’t understand people like you. Does it really make you feel so bad to see others doing well?” Zhou Yining retorted.

“Yes, I just feel bad. Stop talking nonsense with me. I hate your face now.”

Tian Xue didn’t think she was wrong at all. On the contrary, she felt that everyone owed her.

“Tian Xue, right? We need to contact your parents to come here.”

The police officer then looked at Zhou Yining, “Classmate, this matter is more difficult to handle. Tian Xue is a minor.

The posts she made have a total of over ten thousand views online, but they aren’t considered to be widely spread, and they haven’t had a significant impact on your physical and mental health, so she can’t be sentenced.

At most, she can be detained for 15 days. Of course, compensation is necessary.

According to this situation, she needs to compensate you at least six thousand yuan for mental damage. In addition, we will also notify your school about this matter.”

Zhou Yining nodded, indicating that she understood.

It was like Lin Shaohui’s matter.

Last time, she went to the hospital in advance to get a diagnosis certificate, but this time she didn’t, and the previous matter was obviously more egregious.

However, Tian Xue’s actions were disgusting enough.

If it were the original Zhou Yining, she would definitely have suffered a lot of harm now.

However, Tian Xue was unwilling, “Why call my family? I did it myself. If you want to detain me, just detain me.”

“Classmate, please don’t obstruct us from handling official business. Please tell us your family’s contact information,” another police officer said again.

“What if I don’t tell you? What can you do?”

“All the information is now connected online. We in the police have a large database. Even if you don’t tell us, we can find out. Besides, we can directly call your school.”

“I’ll tell you, I’ll tell you.” Tian Xue had a gnashing expression. She stared at Zhou Yining with resentful eyes, and then reported a series of numbers.

One of the police officers directly dialed the number.

The call was quickly answered.

“Hello, are you Tian Xue’s father?”

“Yes, what’s up?”

The police officer continued, “Your daughter has been arrested by us for leaking someone else’s privacy, and we need you to come here.”

“Her death has nothing to do with me. If you arrest her, just keep her locked up. Don’t bother me.” As he spoke, the man was about to hang up the phone.

The police officer obviously didn’t expect the other party to have this kind of attitude.

He quickly stopped him, “I must remind you that every citizen has the obligation to cooperate with the police, and besides, you are Tian Xue’s father.

Your daughter has committed a crime, and you must come here now. If you don’t come, we’ll just have to take people to your workplace to find you.”

Hearing this, the man finally calmed down, but he was still cursing,

“That money-losing thing, she causes trouble every day. Why doesn’t she just die outside? Annoying, annoying.

Then tell me, which police station is she at? I’ll go there now.”

The police officer’s brows furrowed tightly, “It’s the police station near Yulin Street. Come over now.”

“Got it, annoying…” The man was still cursing before he hung up the phone.

His voice was very loud, and the office was very quiet, so more or less everyone in the office could hear some of the man’s voice.

However, Tian Xue seemed to be used to it, not caring what the man said.

She had already calmed down at this time, seemingly not afraid of what was about to happen.

The police contacted Nanchuan City First Middle School, and the teacher on duty told the school leaders about the matter.

The school leaders directly sent Chen Yitong over.

Chen Yitong never expected that the love letter on the school’s confession wall was posted by Tian Xue.

Until she arrived at the police station, her mind was still blank.
