Luo Ziling, Cao Jianhui, and other classmates were taken to the police station, where, like the other party involved, they were all questioned for their statements.
The police officer questioning them was quite polite, simply following procedures in an official manner.
Luo Ziling was the last one to be questioned.
To avoid any mishaps, he posted a moment on social media while waiting to be questioned, taking a photo at the police station and adding some text.
âJust had a meal and sang some songs, and ended up being brought to the police station by a police car. Iâm totally floored.â
After posting the moment, he was called in to give his statement.
âName!â
âLuo Ziling!â
âGender, age.â
âMale, 20,â Luo Ziling answered the officerâs questions truthfully.
After asking a bunch of questions related to his identity, the police finally asked about what happened just now.
Luo Ziling answered truthfully as well, and even the few times he had taken the initiative to hit others, he didnât claim it was in self-defense.
The scene surprised the questioning officer. They couldnât understand why this student, with an exceptionally high Combat Power, wouldnât narrate the event in a way that was most favorable to himself.
Just as the questioning was coming to an end, the door to the interrogation room was violently pushed open, and several people entered at once.
One plainclothed fat man, another tall figure also in plain clothes, followed by two people in uniform.
Upon seeing the newcomers, the officer taking the statement immediately stood up.
âAre you done with the statement?â the plainclothes tall man asked the questioning officer with a frown, glancing at Luo Ziling who sat in front of him.
âAlmost.â
The tall man looked over the record book, then exchanged a glance with the fat man, and then gestured for the questioning officers to leave.
âWeâll handle it from here,â the tall man said, sitting down at the desk after instructing the original two officers to leave.
The fat man sat down too, looking at Luo Ziling with sharp eyes.
Luo Ziling met their scrutinizing gaze without fear, wondering who these people were and whether they had come to help him.
After the tall man sat down, he signaled with his eyes to the two uniformed men standing behind him.
Understanding the hint, the two in uniform immediately walked over.
âCould these people be preparing to deal with me?â The thought no sooner occurred to Luo Ziling than he confirmed his suspicion.
Certainly, these people looking at him with fierce eyes werenât here to rescue him; probably they had been ordered by someone to come after him.
Reflecting on the whole event, he noticed many discrepancies, and vaguely felt that it was a trap.
âLuo Ziling!â While he was pondering, the tall man suddenly slammed the table with an imposing query, âConfess the details of your crime today!â
Although Luo Ziling had been prepared, the manâs shout still startled him.
But he quickly calmed down and replied with neither humility nor arrogance, âDonât slander me. Today, someone tried to harass our female classmate and started hitting us first; I was just passively fighting back!â
âStill arguing,â the tall man, not expecting Luo Ziling to talk back, angrily slammed the table again, pointing at the words on the wall behind, âThe situation now is that so many people have been injured by you all, and you are to bear criminal responsibility. Confess the details of your crime at once. Do you see that? To confess is to receive leniency, to resist is to face severity. If you donât confess, the law will severely punish you.â
Luo Ziling said indignantly, âIâve already recounted todayâs events, and you have recorded them. The fact is, we were only forced to fight back after being bullied by some bad people who attacked us and even drew a gun. Their actions constitute the crime; donât twist the truth.â
Before they came in, the fat man and the tall man hadnât thoroughly understood the situation, only asking briefly and learning that some people had been injured by a group of students. They came to deal with a student named Luo Ziling, so they skipped the others and went straight to questioning Luo Ziling.
They also didnât clarify who had injured those people.
They certainly didnât expect Luo Ziling to be so tough and to question them with such words.
âBang!â The tall man, angered, slammed the table again, âLuo Ziling, are you determined to resist to the end?â
âIf you refuse to confess the details of your crime, you will face even more severe legal sanctions,â the fat man, who had been silent, said coldly with a threatening tone, âYou should know this isnât your home, and we have the final say!â
âIâve already told the events, I havenât committed any crime, I was merely fighting back in self-defense. They attacked us outnumbered and even pulled out a gun; what they did is a crime, donât invert right and wrong.â Luo Ziling was already very angry inside, unable to believe that the two plainclothes men who had entered later would outright accuse him of committing a crime.
âIt seems you wonât confess the details of your crime without tasting some bitterness,â the tall man sneered, âDo you really think you are someone untouchable? You will soon understand where you are!â
With that, he shouted at the other two men in uniform, âCuff him!â
