Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
In no time, a girl, dressed in the same middle school uniform as Mei Jing, rushed in anxiously.
As soon as she entered, her round eyes scanned the room until they found the tattooed boy in the corner, then she let out a sigh of relief.
“Brother! Are you okay?”
Upon hearing the commotion, the tattooed boy immediately opened his eyes, his exhaustion vanished, replaced by alertness as he strode over, “Sis, I’m fine. 1 told you not to come, but you never listen!”
“I feel even more worried when I’m home alone,” the girl said, reaching out to touch her brother’s bruised face with concern, her lips quivering, “You’re only concerned about me. What about yourself? I told you it wasn’t a big deal. Chen Guo didn’t take much money from me, but you insisted on going after her!” “What’s the joke? I’m your brother! If I don’t help you, who will? Do you want me to watch you cry alone and do nothing?” The tattooed boy got angry whenever this matter was brought up. Now that his sister was here, he didn’t hold back his temper and went straight to the police, saying, “Let my sister explain what happened that day in detail.”
“Okay.” The police perked up, taking out pen and paper to record, saying, “Tell me.”
The girl looked fearful as she glanced towards Chen Guo’s direction, sighed, and said, “It was yesterday evening after school. In a small alley behind Meihe Street, Chen Guo suddenly blocked me and demanded five thousand yuan. I really didn’t have that much money, and I wasn’t very familiar with Chen Guo. I refused, but then she resorted to force and snatched the money from me. I couldn’t fight her, and there was nobody around to help me, so she took all the money from my wallet.”
“How much money was in your wallet?” the police asked as he carefully recorded the statement.
The girl lowered her head, her voice barely audible, “Not much.”
The police frowned, his expression turning stern, he asked again, “How much exactly? As a victim, you have the right to speak the whole truth. Uncle will help you recover the money!”
The girl hesitated, but under the urging of her brother, she closed her eyes and, with a scared expression, said, “Two thousand yuan.”
“What? Sister! Where did you get so much money?” The tattooed boy was shocked and blurted out.
Only then did he realize that his words might make the police misunderstand his sister for extorting money. He hurriedly explained, flustered, “Ah! Did you secretly save up some money? Brother didn’t mean it that way. It’s normal for a girl like you to keep some money for yourself.”
Upon hearing this, the girl’s head hung even lower, her voice getting smaller and smaller, “Brother, I don’t want to lie to you. The money was actually earned by me secretly working. I wanted to buy you a nice birthday gift.” “What? You went to work? What kind of job did you do? Didn’t 1 say that if you needed money, you should tell me? You, a young girl, going out to work at such a young age, what were you thinking?” The tattooed boy pulled his sister into his arms, inspecting her up and down, afraid she might have been harmed in the slightest.
From the looks of it, he was indeed a good brother.
Nowadays, children’s familial bonds are weak, and very few people can go to such lengths for their sisters.
Mei Shu paid special attention to this brother and sister.
She noticed that although the girl’s shoes weren’t very expensive, they were still worth a few hundred yuan, which was considered decent for an ordinary student from a modest family.
On the other hand, the tattooed boy, despite the tattoos on his arm, wore a pair of sneakers worth only tens of yuan, with obvious signs of wear and tear on the heels.
The girl’s long hair was tied up with a beautiful hair tie, her face as fair as a peeled egg, her hands also smooth and fair, without any calluses, clearly indicating she had been well cared for since childhood.
Such a sister secretly worked and saved money to buy gifts for her brother. It was no wonder the boy was so anxious.
The police watched the interactions of the siblings for a while before interrupting, “Now is not the time for all this. Let your sister come over and identify the specific location so we can retrieve the surveillance footage.”
The tattooed boy nodded, comforting his sister with a pat on the head, “Don’t be afraid. Brother will always be with you.”
The girl smiled, timidly following behind her brother. As they passed Chen Guo, her body visibly shuddered in fear.
Mei Shu watched it all, her thoughts as clear as a mirror.
This time, she wanted to see how Chen Guo would end up!
Meanwhile, Mei Jing observed everything as well. His fists clenched tightly in his pockets, and when Chen Guo looked over as if seeking help, he glared at her fiercely.
Now, even if he were impulsive and foolish, he could see clearly that the girl’s story was genuine, and Chen Guo had been lying all along!
After helping the girl find the specific address on the computer, the police proceeded to retrieve the surveillance footage along the way.
As time passed, Chen Guo’s body trembled more violently..
