Chapter 23: Calling the Police

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Fu Li… I’ll remember your kindness.”

Jian Yan’s tone was complicated. She had to fight the urge to stay close to Fu Li to feel his warmth and let go of him.

Fu Li was focused on observing Jian Yan to see if there were any wounds on her body. When he heard her words, his eyes darkened.

However, he already knew that Jian Yan was very guarded and wouldn’t open up to her for the time being. He remained silent and let go of Jian Yan.

As soon as Fu Li let go, Jian Yan ran to Lu Xue, who was hiding behind Jian Wan.

Clenching her fists tightly, she struck Lu Xue’s chin.

Lu Xue lost her balance from the punch. Her head shook and she stumbled backward, falling to the ground.

“Ah! You hit me first, so I fought back. You hit me too. I’m going to call the police later and get them to arrest you!” Lu Xue complained as she tried to get up.

Jian Yan stepped on her hair.

“Police? Ha, you were the one who provoked me first. When you retaliated, you tried to kill me. Even if the police come, you will be the one arrested. But thank you for your reminder. I really should call the police.”

Jian Yan took out her phone from her bag and called the police.

Because her hair was stepped on, Lu Xue couldn’t crawl away. Her face was twisted as she cried. “Sister Jian Wan, save me!”

Jian Wan tried to persuade Jian Yan. “Sister, Lu Xue fought back because you scared her. It wasn’t intentional. There’s no need to call the police. Aren’t you fine?”

She was disappointed that Jian Yan hadn’t been hit by the truck. If Jian Yan had been knocked down, all of her and her mother’s troubles would disappear.

But now that things had come to this, it was more important to let the bottle of drugs be exposed as soon as possible. The longer this dragged on, the more suspicious Fu Yuan would become. She could not allow her relationship with him to break down.

Jian Yan shouted, “Get lost! Stop pretending to be innocent. You were the one who started this. If you continue to act like a bitch in front of me, I will beat you up too!”

“I’m fine just because I’m lucky, not because she’s innocent!”<s

Then, she told the operator on the phone her current address and hung up, waiting for the police to arrive.

Lu Xue flared up. “I want to call the police too! I’m going to report you for beating me up! Wang Meng, you have my bag. Help me call the police!”

She didn’t think that pushing someone was a serious matter. Anyway, Jian Yan was fine. With the help of the Lu family and her brother, she could simply argue that she had done everything in self-defense.

Thinking about how Jian Yan wouldn’t dare to hit her after the police came, Lu Xue looked at Wang Meng impatiently.

Wang Meng pinched the medicine bottle between her fingers and stood forward.

“Miss Jian Yan, there’s no need for this. If you report it to the police, it will definitely be on the news. Such a small piece of news will affect the Lu family, the Jian family, the Fu family, and your own reputation. This is a banquet hosted by the Fu family. President Fu saved you just now. You’re not giving President Fu face by calling the police.”

After saying that, Wang Meng looked at Fu Li gently and smiled shyly.

She liked Fu Li, and he had saved Jian Yan. Even if the others were glad that no one had died, she was upset.

Jian Yan was wearing Fu Li’s coat, and Fu Li’s attitude towards Jian Yan at the banquet had made her very uncomfortable.

Hence, she did not follow Lu Xue’s instructions. Instead, she hinted to Fu Li that Jian Yan’s actions would affect the reputation of the Fu family. Jian Yan was simply insensible.

Fu Li raised his eyebrows. “Ms. Wang, you’re overthinking it. The police should handle things like attempted murder. If we suppress the news just because we’re worried that the Fu Family would appear on the news, then our reputation will really be damaged.”

Lu Xue panicked. “I didn’t want to kill her. I just pushed her casually. Wang Meng, hurry and call my brother.”

After hearing what Fu Li said, she didn’t dare to call the police anymore. She just wanted her brother to come. She wanted to hide at home and not have to face Jian Yan anymore.

With Jian Yan stepping on her hair, the more she tried to break free, the more painful it was. She felt as if her scalp was being torn apart.

Hearing Fu Li speaking up for Jian Yan, Wang Meng’s face darkened. She was about to do as Lu Xue said and call Lu Ting over.

After all, he couldn’t let Jian Yan’s wishes come true.

At that moment, Jian Wan walked over to Wang Meng and stuffed her hand into Lu Xue’s bag. She touched the latter’s hand and revealed the bottle of medicine.

“Ah, why is there a medicine bottle in Xiaoxue’s bag? I didn’t notice it when I was looking through it just now. Did you put it in there, Wang Meng?”

Wang Meng retorted her, “How could I have done it?”

“There’s nothing written on this bottle. I think it’s strange too. I wanted to ask Lu Xue about it just now.

But the most important thing now is to stop your sister from bullying Lu Xue. Go away, don’t waste time here.”

Jian Wan frowned and looked worried. She took out the medicine bottle and placed it in front of Lu Xue.

“Xiaoxue, is this yours?”
