Chapter 1263: 1262 Take a good rest
The police shifted their gaze to Tan Rou and asked, “Why did you stuff fruit into Wu Hao’s mouth?”
Tan Rou pointed to her long-sleeved shirt and replied, “Officer, just now he threw fruit at me, so I thought he wanted me to feed him, that’s why I did it. If he doesn’t want to eat it, then forget it.”
The officer asked casually, “Is that how it was?”
Wu Hao’s sister would definitely not nod in agreement. She hurriedly said, “No, she’s lying. She was the one forcefully stuffing fruit into my brother’s mouth, and my brother did not ask her to feed him any fruit.”
“What about the fruit stains on me?” Tan Rou retorted, “Surely I didn’t place fruit on myself on purpose. You know, this shirt of mine is worth 50,000 yuan, do you think I would dirty it?”
Wu Hao’s cousin originally wanted to make trouble for Tan Rou, but when she heard her mention wearing a shirt worth 50,000 yuan, she stopped in her tracks. “Officer, you must stand up for us! My brother is lying in bed already, how could he threaten her?”
The officer, not wishing to hear them argue, asked a nearby patient, “You tell me, what exactly happened just now? Who started it?”
The patient pointed at Wu Hao and said, “This guy first threw a cantaloupe at that young woman. She didn’t do anything else, just stuffed a few pieces of fruit in his mouth.”
Wu Hao’s cousin felt that the patient was talking nonsense and hurriedly said, “Officer, don’t listen to his rambling. He must have been paid by this woman; otherwise, why would he falsely accuse my brother?”
The officer, annoyed by the loud woman, shouted, “I have my own mouth and ears. I will investigate what actually happened, and I don’t need you to tell me! If you keep making noise, I’ll take you to the police station for obstructing official duties. We’ve caught so many people today; one more won’t make a difference.”
With a smile, Tan Rou added, “Officer, the few people you just caught and these two are from the same family.”
The officer had already investigated, so he didn’t have a high opinion of the Wu family members. “Hmm, I know that.”
At first, Wu Hao’s cousin thought Tan Rou was deliberately deceiving them. How could her uncle, so formidable, be arrested by the police? But now that the officer had confirmed it, it meant her uncle truly had been caught.
“Officer, could there be some misunderstanding inside?” Wu Hao’s cousin softened her tone. “My uncle and the others were going to discuss business with Li Li; how could they have been arrested by you?”
The officer glanced at her and said with a sneer, “You think I don’t know what they did? There were so many witnesses around, and there’s surveillance footage in the corner; the footage of them hitting someone has already been recorded. Even if you don’t admit it, you can’t deny it!”
Wu Hao’s cousin still wanted to argue, but the officer didn’t want to listen anymore. “Shut your mouth. If you dare to say one more word, I’ll arrest you right now!”
Wu Hao’s cousin didn’t speak further, but she was very anxious, so she turned her gaze to Tan Rou, hoping Tan Rou would say something in their favor.
As if she hadn’t seen, Tan Rou pulled out a tissue to wipe her hands and then said to the officer, “Officer, I’ve said everything I wanted to say; can we leave now?”
The officer nodded, “Alright, you may come with us now. If the record-taking goes quickly, you might still make it to your afternoon classes.”
Tan Rou obediently followed behind. As she reached the door, she didn’t forget to bid farewell to Wu Hao. “Senior Wu Hao, even though you hurt my friend and then had your parents and aunt cause trouble for my friend, as your junior, I still hope you recover soon. Rest well, hope you recover quickly, and return to school soon.”
Unable to speak or move, Wu Hao nearly passed out with anger upon hearing Tan Rou’s words.
Laughing, the officer said, “You’re quite caring about a schoolmate, and you have a good personality too, suited for being a police officer. So, are you really not considering changing careers to join the police?”
Tan Rou wasn’t sure of the connection between the two parts of his sentence, but as for the officer’s invitation, she declined politely, “Officer, I’m really sorry, but I like my life as it is now; I don’t want to change my lifestyle.”
The officer nodded, “Alright, I understand. You concentrate on your studies.”
