Chapter 309: Chapter 310: Why did the police suddenly arrive?

“Where’s Xie Yumo?” Thinking of Xie Yumo’s age, she recalled a fact: “If I remember correctly, the law stipulates that minors under the age of fourteen, no matter what they do, are not held legally accountable for their actions. Even juvenile detention centers only take in those above the age of fourteen. Has Xie Yumo turned fourteen yet?”
If Xie Yumo is not yet fourteen years old, then hasn’t she suffered unjustly?
The most terrifying part is that, this time, Xie Yumo’s target was her. She could at least handle a bit of hardship.
But what if Xie Yumo goes unpunished, growing more audacious and targets her son next time?
“She’s not yet fourteen, but…” Gu Junzhu smirked, “After you were pushed down the escalator by her last night, Xiao Yue pushed her down the escalator as well. She broke her leg and got a cut across her face. She’s in this hospital too.”
“Wha…what?” Ye Xingbei was stunned, she looked at Lingyue.
Lingyue shivered a slightly, hung his head low, his fingertips trembling slightly by his sides.
He didn’t regret pushing Xie Yumo down the escalator.
Xie Yumo had bullied Xiao Shu’s mom, so he was avenging Xiao Shu’s mom.
He didn’t regret it.
But he was afraid that Xiao Shu’s mom would think he was a bad kid and would stop liking him and wouldn’t let Xiao Shu be friends with him anymore.
When Ye Xingbei saw Lingyue trembling slightly, she assumed he was terrified, hurriedly moved her body to hold him and comforted him quietly, “It’s okay, don’t be afraid Xiao Yue. She was the one who did wrong first. You were just angry and pushed her down the escalator. Don’t be afraid, your aunt and uncle will protect you. You’ll be safe.”
She pulled Lingyue into her arms, held Xiao Shu with one arm, and comforted this trembling boy with her other arm, “Xiao Shu don’t be afraid, Xiao Yue don’t be afraid either. It’s okay, the adults are here. No one can hurt you!”
“Right!” Gu Junzhu reached out and pulled Lingyue out of Ye Xingbei’s arms, ruffling Lingyue’s hair, “Xiao Yue, don’t be afraid. Your uncle is here, no one can harm you.”
Xiao Shumiao is still young, it makes sense for his wife to hold him in her arms.
As for Lingyue, this wolf pup, consolation was extra.
A man’s character is determined at the age of three.
This little guy had courage and knowledge. As long as he was properly guided, he would definitely make something of himself when he grew up.
Senior Master Xiang had a good eye for talent.
After Ye Xingbei comforted Lingyue, she looked up at Gu Junzhu, about to ask something, when there was a knock at the door.
Gu Chi called out to enter.
The bodyguard standing outside the door opened it and reported, “Young Master, Young Madam, the police are here.”
The police?
Gu Junzhu raised an eyebrow slightly.
Knowing that Xie Yumo was not yet fourteen, and that the police couldn’t do anything to her, furthermore, Lingyue had pushed her down the escalator leaving her more severely injured than Ye Xingbei. He had not called the police.
Since the police didn’t show up last night, the mall probably didn’t call the police, hoping to avoid making matters worse.
So why did the police suddenly show up today?
Gu Junzhu had been completely focused on Ye Xingbei all of yesterday and had not paid much attention to Lingyue.
But Gu Chi had heard the bodyguard in charge of protecting Lingyue describe what happened last night.
He leaned into Gu Junzhu’s ear and whispered a few words.
After hearing this, Gu Junzhu couldn’t help but laugh, and nodded his head. He told the bodyguard at the door, “Let them in.”
The one leading the team was still Captain Zhou Yun, who handled the case at Zhou Dingbang’s hotel last time.
Captain Zhou grimaced, feeling like his luck had run out. Why did he always get caught up in these predicaments where powerful people clashed and it was the lesser beings who suffered?
Despite his inner torment, as a police officer, if someone called the police, he had to respond.
He led a group of police officers into the ward, walked up to Ye Xingbei’s bedside, asked a few basic questions for formality’s sake, then got directly to the point: “So here’s the situation, Young Master Gu, we received a call about a child named Lingyue….”
