Chapter 791: The Shepherd's First Love (Campus) (38)

red her gaze to look at him. At dusk, the sky wasn't very bright, but her eyes widened slightly in surprise as she met Yi Si Chen's bloodshot eyes.He seemed to have many things he wanted to say to her...The human trafficker failed to sell the child, and claimed she had simply mistaken the child. She refused to confess and, following procedure, a statement was taken from her. After investigation, she was released.

The young parents, on the verge of losing their child, were filled with rage. "She almost kidnapped my child," they exclaimed.

"I just mistook the kid, you have no evidence, don't slander me."

The major suspect, the human trafficker, was released that night. Instead, Qiao Baor's crime of intentionally causing harm was proven, and she would be detained for 15 days, with further legal action to follow.

Everyone at the police station was pretty friendly to her. Even though Qiao Bao'er had hit someone, it felt kind of satisfying thinking about it.

But even I can't stop the kidnappers, it would be good to give her a beating.

But the fact that she physically assaulted someone is undeniable, with both eyewitness and physical evidence. So many people saw it happen, and I heard it was even shared online. "You were too impulsive,"...there will definitely be consequences later on, like a criminal record, which could affect your future.

Everyone felt sorry for her.

"...Don't be afraid, I've already called my parents, they'll find a way." Sima An was anxious like an ant on a hot pot, and kept comforting her.

Leave me alone.

Qiao Bao'er was a little down, and she regretted it afterward. She sat on a high chair, swinging her legs, and lowered her head.

She saw the human trafficker acting suspiciously while she was watching the elephants at the zoo. He was looking for children who were alone and trying to pull several kids away. She recognized the little girl as one who had come in with her young parents. The child cried in fear, trembling and pushing back against the trafficker. She knew something was wrong.

Qiao Bao'er is beautiful. She lowers her head and says nothing. Beautiful people always tend to evoke pity in others.

The police officers didn't want to make things difficult for her, so they lectured her, saying, "It's wrong to hit someone in public," intending to give her a chance for bail.

"I understand," Qiao Baoer said in a muffled voice.

She regretted not holding back earlier; she should have dragged the kidnapper to a corner and beaten them more.

"We promise we won't do it again, can this be treated leniently"

Sima An stepped forward, and asked in a nervous tone.

"I can apply for bail for you, but how this is handled depends on the other party's attitude. It's best for you to soften your stance first, after all, your future is important. If the other party makes a big deal out of it, it could also affect the college entrance exam..."

The officer, knowing they were just high school students being young and full of energy, offered some advice.

"Go find that dead man's dealer, don't tell me"

Jo Baoer suddenly looked up, gritting her teeth, "If she has the guts, let her sue me!" There was a hint of arrogance in her voice.

Looking at her outfit, this officer probably thought she was just a child from an ordinary family. He sighed and kindly tried to reason with her, explaining that what she was saying was likely just stubbornness.

"Society is not a school, this person has major suspicions and has been placed under close watch by us. She has ill intentions and will eventually face retribution. Don't let this trash ruin your life, little girl, it's not worth it."

Young people are more impulsive, but impulsiveness also comes with consequences, which most people can't afford.

Qiao Bao'er tightened her face, remaining silent and bowed her head, lost in thought. Sima An anxiously watched her, never having seen her with such a solemn and melancholy expression before.

At 9 p.m., a police officer kindly gave her a boxed meal. Qiao Bao'er held the chopsticks but had no appetite, poking at the rice grains listlessly. Sima An frantically called home on his phone.

"You guys are on a business trip, so when will you be back Don't you care about your son anymore I'm stuck in jail here. In an hour, if nobody comes, I'll call grandma."

Sima An angrily said a lie, and before his family could explain, he hung up the phone.

Turning his head, he instantly changed his expression and softened his voice to comfort her, "...Don't be afraid, don't worry, you'll be fine. My family will be here soon to help us get bail."

To post bail, Sima An had quite a bit of savings from his allowance over the years. However, he didn't really care about money and kept his password and card at home. It wouldn't be safe to leave Qiao Baoer alone at the station if he went back himself.

Qiao Bao'er was unusually quiet. She watched intently as Sima An made a phone call to his family. Her gaze was somewhat lost, her mind racing with thoughts. She thought of her own family.

If she called her dad, Qiao Wenyu, right now, would it kill him

Without asking anything, her father immediately scolded her.

Qiao Bao'er thought for a moment, with some self-deprecation. When she left the Qiao family, she had boasted that she would never acknowledge the Qiao family again. Her father might have already treated her as if she didn't exist, and he probably wouldn't even answer a call from her.

Qiao Bao'er lowered her head, her eyes slightly red.

"Study, study sister," Sima An saw that she seemed about to cry, and his heart was anxious, he stuttered.

qiao Bao'er still lowered her head, ignoring him, lost in her own thoughts.

Suddenly, I felt a surge of sentimental reflection on my life's journey.

She had always acted recklessly, relying on her grandfather and the Qiao family. Even after falling out with them, she continued to stir up trouble, hoping they would still support her as they had before, a fantasy really.

I kind of want to go back home.

But her dad and grandma had already given up on her.

Jo Bao'er thought more and more that she felt very desolate, a rare sadness appeared on her face.

Seeing her like this, Sima An panicked. He grabbed his phone and rushed outside the police station, all his anxiety boiling over into anger as he unleashed it on his parents.

The Sima family figured it out two hours ago from a phone call. It wasn't their own son who had gotten into trouble at the station, just a classmate of his. Naturally, they didn't want to get involved since it was someone else's child who was detained, and most importantly, they were afraid the other party would latch onto their son.

Sima An used a serious tone, as if he was about to break with his family, and only then did the Sima family elders helplessly agree to help him deal with it.

Actually, if the Qiao family was willing to step in, this matter concerning Qiao Bao'er would be easily resolved. But right now, not only has Qiao Bao'er had a falling out with her father, but this incident has also been turned into a short video by idle people. I estimate that even her grandmother would find her embarrassing.

" Qiao Bao'er, you can let her go, release her immediately!"

A male officer received a phone call and his expression became strange. He ran to the detention room and urged the guard in charge to release the person quickly.

Jo Baoer, who had been listlessly despondent in the detention room, immediately lifted her head. She saw several police officers open the door with flustered expressions, their tone now carrying a bit more aloof respect than before.

"Miss Qiao, today's incident was our fault for not thoroughly investigating. The human trafficker we encountered just now is extremely wicked. We have gathered evidence and are currently dispatching officers to arrest her. What you did today was an act of heroism. We should all learn from you."

When Qiao Bao'er heard them calling her "Miss Qiao," a hint of suspicion arose in her heart.

She wondered if the news about her beating up the kidnapper had reached her father.

And at the same time, several landline phones in the station rang suddenly, the atmosphere became heavy and tense, ring ring ring —

The officers who answered the call listened, and one by one their gazes shifted toward Qiao Baier. Their expressions grew increasingly strange, and finally they stammered and hung up, as if a high-ranking official had called.his mood wasn't as relaxed.Pei Haoran arrived first and immediately got to the point, "Lu Qinan, have you heard anything from your brother"As soon as Lu Qinan thought about this, he immediately put on...
