Chapter 572 - 179: [Return]
Yueyue hesitated for a moment, looked at the guy next to her, "You go back first. I’ll talk to him about something, and I’ll message you when I get back to the dorm."
The guy hesitated, seemingly a bit unhappy, but nodded, "Alright."
As the guy left, he gave Chen Yan a long look.
Chen Yan, however, didn’t mind; he just smiled.
Yueyue then pointed to the street lamp nearby, "Let’s talk over there."
"Okay." Chen Yan replied steadily.
After they walked to the street lamp, Yueyue took a deep breath, her tone somewhat dismissive, "How are you being a boyfriend? Something big happened to Lu Sisi, and you haven’t shown up at all. Don’t you care about her at all?"
Chen Yan didn’t want to spar with such a young girl and nodded, "I’ve been away from Jinling Prefecture recently, just got back today. Could you tell me what happened to her?"
"Lu Sisi suspended her studies." Yueyue frowned, "She ran into some trouble, and her family helped her take a leave from school."
Chen Yan’s expression darkened.

A few minutes later, Chen Yan learned the general sequence of events.
Earlier, a guy who’d confessed to Lu Sisi via text later came back to court her.
They apparently had some sort of physical altercation, and Lu Sisi dislocated the guy’s arm.
Originally, it was just a little farce, and at the time, Lu Sisi didn’t take it seriously.
But the next day, the guy used the incident to cling to Lu Sisi, leveraging his dislocated arm to play the pity card.
In essence, it was nothing more than an act to gain sympathy, trying to use this situation to soften Lu Sisi’s heart.
If the girl softened, maybe with a touch of guilt, he might gain several opportunities to get closer and cozy up.
But Lu Sisi didn’t fall for it.
Faced with the guy’s pity act, begging Lu Sisi for a meal or meeting, Lu Sisi gave a straightforward answer: You got hurt; I can cover your medical expenses. I’ll take responsibility for your injury, but nothing beyond that.
The guy fell silent.
Originally, Lu Sisi thought that was the end of it, but then...
The guy called the police.
The guy produced a hospital visit record and WeChat chat logs with Lu Sisi, both proving that they had a physical conflict and Lu Sisi dislocated his arm—chat logs showed that Lu Sisi admitted to injuring his arm and was even willing to pay for the medical expenses.
Lu Sisi was bewildered by the whole thing, but she was kind and gentle by nature.
If he called the police, let it be; indeed, she did dislocate his arm, and she wouldn’t shirk responsibility; she was willing to pay for the medical bills.
However...
At the police station, the guy declared he didn’t want to settle.
A dislocated arm is considered a minor injury.
Things got a bit complicated.
For intentionally causing minor injuries to others, under the administrative security regulations of Dragon Country, one could be detained for five days and fined up to five hundred yuan.
The crux lies in the "intentional" aspect.
Although Lu Sisi defended herself, saying it wasn’t intentional, the issue is...
She appeared as a delicate little girl, if it wasn’t intentional, who would believe that with a mere push, she "accidentally" dislocated the arm of a young, strong male?
If it wasn’t accidental, then it was intentional.
Lu Sisi received an administrative security punishment. She paid five hundred in medical expenses.
Additionally, she was detained for five days.
Once her issue was resolved, naturally, the school and family were notified.
For such matters, schools usually impose some sanctions on the student—that’s not surprising.
And after being notified, Lu Sisi’s family came to handle it and actually processed a leave from school for her.
As soon as Lu Sisi’s detention ended and she was released, her family took her back home.
"I still haven’t seen Lu Sisi, can’t get in touch with her," Yueyue shook her head, "So that’s all I know."
Chen Yan took a deep breath, suppressing the anger in his heart, and nodded, "Still, thank you!"
"Uh... don’t do anything foolish," Yueyue, seeing the anger in Chen Yan’s eyes, hesitated for a moment, "That guy, his family is quite well-off, has some connections."
"...Thanks." Chen Yan nodded, then turned and left.
