Chapter 117: Chapter 117: What If I Say I Have Evidence?
To Shen Nian’s surprise, they arrived at the police station very quickly.
As luck would have it, the officer who greeted them was one of the same officers who had handled the Qin Xueling incident when Shen Nian reported it.
"Shen, what brings you here?"
The officer clearly remembered Shen Nian, greeting her with a smile the moment he saw her.
"Officer Li, we came to ask about the status of the case against Qin Xueling and the others."
Shen Nian remembered that the officer’s surname was Li and immediately explained the reason for their visit.
Officer Li nodded. The previous incident had a significant impact on Shen Nian, so it was only natural that she’d want to follow up.
"And this is?"
Officer Li hadn’t missed Shen Nian’s use of the word "we." It clearly referred to herself and the man beside her. However, this man hadn’t been present when the incident occurred.
"He’s my husband. He was working out of town and just came back on leave."
Because Shen Nian was the victim in this case, Officer Li already knew she was married.
"Hello, I’m Officer Li Mu from this station."
"Hello. Lu Cheng."
Lu Cheng shook Officer Li Mu’s hand. After the brief pleasantry, he got straight to the point.
"Rest assured, we’ve been following the case closely. The verdict should be handed down in the next few days. However, the incident is ultimately considered a civil dispute, so I’m afraid the penalties won’t be too severe. Furthermore, Yin Yang turned himself in and provided evidence proving Qin Xueling was behind everything, so his sentence will likely be even lighter."
Li Mu knew all the details of the incident. He had seen how Qin Xueling and Yin Yang behaved at the time and had been furious when Qin Xueling maliciously tore up Shen Nian’s academic transcript.
After all, he too was a kid from the countryside who had gotten out by studying hard. He understood perfectly well how important an excellent score on the college entrance exams was.
So, on this matter, he was naturally on Shen Nian’s side.
Shen Nian nodded. ’In truth, I expected as much.’ Calling the police had been more about exposing Qin Xueling’s true colors; she never really expected it would land Qin Xueling in jail for years.
’As for Yin Yang, he was despicable, but for the most part, he was just one of Qin Xueling’s pawns.’
’In her past life, he and Qin Xueling shared a common goal, so they’d always gotten along. But in this life, because of the changes she had brought about, it seemed Yin Yang and Qin Xueling’s falling-out was a bit more direct... and a bit premature.’
However, while Shen Nian could accept Officer Li Mu’s explanation, that didn’t mean Lu Cheng, standing beside her, could as well.
"A result like that? They’re getting off too easy!"
Lu Cheng’s voice was laced with a chilling coldness. ’They bullied my wife like that, and they think getting locked up for a few days and paying a little money is the end of it? Not a chance!’
"Of course I know they’re getting off easy. But for a case like this, there’s simply no way to charge them with a felony. At most, we can only increase the amount of compensation they owe Shen."
Shen Nian, of course, didn’t care about any compensation from Qin Xueling and Yin Yang. She just wished the two of them would never appear before her again. They were an eyesore and utterly sickening.
