Chapter 130: I Didn’t Hit Her! It Has Nothing to Do With Me!
Ji Churan picked up the candy.
There was a string of English words on the candy wrapper. It was a type of candy that she had never seen before.
She peeled off the wrapper and put the candy into her mouth. It was indeed very sweet.
“If you like it, I have some more here.”
Jiang Yu took out another handful of candy from her pocket. The multicolored candy wrappers looked like a colorful world.
She stuffed it into her hands. “Pick whichever one you want to eat.”
These candies were from the pile of snacks that Jiang Xingyi had given a while back. She thought that they were delicious, so she brought some with her to satisfy her cravings.
Ji Churan lowered her eyes and said softly, “Thank you.”
Jiang Yu said gently, “Leave with me.”
Just as she said this, there was a sound from the door.
The police were here.
“Who reported the case?”
Two young men in police uniforms walked over. The man in front had a baby face and looked like he had just graduated.
“Officers, you’re finally here!” Ji Guomin immediately rushed forward and pointed at Jiang Yu, shouting, “This is the b*tch who broke into our house, kicked our door down, and hit me!”
Yan Xia’s eyes followed in the direction that Ji Guomin was pointing at and saw Jiang Yu who was sitting on the sofa.
The girl’s expression was cold. When she heard Ji Guomin open his mouth, she lazily raised her eyes.
Yan Xia looked at the belt at her feet, then at Ji Guomin’s sleeves and pants, revealing the wounds on his arms and calves. The two red wounds were indeed fresh.
However, the other party was obviously an underage girl. This was not considered a serious injury. At most, they could only criticize and educate her.
However, Yan Xia was puzzled by the situation in front of him. Who would rush into someone else’s home and hit them?
Moreover, the girl sitting next to her looked nervous. She looked like she was related to the couple. She should be their daughter, so the situation was even more unbelievable.
“Mr. Policeman…” it was Ji Churan who stood up first. “I will tell you the truth.”
Yan Xia’s eyebrows twitched.
Mis… Mister?
Was he that old?
He clearly had a youthful face!
Yan Xia held back the twitching of his lips and said with a serious expression, “Go ahead.”
Ji Guomin said unhappily, “Money waster, what do you want now? Do you want to be thrown out?! Are you helping an outsider to frame me!”
Yan Xia frowned.
Money waster?
How could a father say such a thing about his daughter?
Tong Manyun continued, “Ran Ran, don’t interfere. Your surname is Ji, and you’re a member of the Ji family. You have to remember your identity. How can you help an outsider?”
Tong Manyun tried her best to signal Ji Churan with her eyes but Ji Churan ignored her.
She clenched the candy in her palm and made up her mind. She put all the candy into her pocket, then turned around and slowly lifted up her clothes, revealing the mottled scars on her back.
“I want to report that I was subjected to domestic violence. The person who hit me was my father.”
Some of the wounds on her back were new, there were also old ones that looked like they had been there for many years. They crisscrossed each other. Even Yan Xia, who has seen many bloody wounds, could not bear to look at them.
This father was too cruel.
Moreover, even though she had just revealed a small area, they were already so many wounds. If one were to count her whole body, who knew how many wounds they would find.
Yan Xia’s tone turned cold, but he directed his next words to Ji Guomin, “Tell me, what’s going on?”
“I’m being framed!” Ji Guomin shouted, “I didn’t hit her, she’s framing me. She got these injuries at school, it has nothing to do with me!”
Chapter 131: Slippery Hands, Itchy Hands
Yan Xia was so angry that he laughed. “You’re saying that these injuries were caused by her carelessness? Then tell me, how did these injuries happen? Can you also show me how?”
Ji Guomin continued to deny it. “Then she was beaten by her classmates at school!”
“You’re saying that she was bullied at school?”
“Yes, yes, yes. It was bullying at school. Anyway, it has nothing to do with me.”
Yan Xia held back his breath and asked, “Then I’d like to ask. As a father, you didn’t care about your daughter being bullied at school? You just let her be?”
“That’s her business. What does it have to do with me?” Ji Guomin said unhappily, “My daughter is a troubled student. It’s normal for people at school to dislike her and want to beat her up.”
“She often rebels against me at home. Look, she even slanders me in front of the police. She deserves a good beating!”
Yan Xia’s anger immediately flared up. “What kind of b*stard words are you saying?! Can you still be considered a father?!”
With a “piak” sound, the end of a belt was whipped toward Ji Guomin’s face, slapping his big mouth.
Ji Guomin was in so much pain that he covered his face with his hand. He felt like his mouth was filled with the taste of blood.
Yan Xia watched the belt and turned to look at the culprit.
Jiang Yu said with a blank face, “Slippery hands.”
Yan Xia almost wanted to applaud her.
This slip of the hand was quite spot on.
“Officer, look at this b*tch. One look and you can tell she’s a piece of trash that has no mother or father. She even dares to hit me in front of you! Officer, you must stand up for me! Quickly take this b*tch away and lock her up!”
As Yan Xia listened to Ji Guomin’s vulgar words, he felt that his ears had been defiled.
This little girl had this thing for a father. Such a waste.
“Piak!”
The second sound was the belt hitting Ji Guomin on the other side of his face.
Now, both sides were balanced.
Jiang Yu said calmly, “Itchy hands.”
This time though, the belt broke.
She felt that her hands were dirty and wanted to wash them but she was worried that if she walked away, the itch would start up again. She could only take out a tissue and slowly wipe her fingers.
Yan Xia looked at Ji Guomin’s swollen cheeks, he now looked like he had a pig’s head. He wanted to laugh but he held it in.
He told himself to be serious, so he said with a straight face, “I’ll give you another chance. Do you admit to what this girl said?”
Ji Guomin still wanted to deny it, but Yan Xia stared at him and said, “I advise you to think this through, or else…”
If Ji Guomin continued to lie, Yan Xia wouldn’t be able to do anything to him. He was trying to trick Ji Guomin into a confession, and his bluff paid off.
“Okay fine, it was me who hit her but so what?”
Ji Guomin had no choice but to admit it, “She’s my daughter. I can discipline her however I want. What do you care?”
“You’re breaking the law!”
“How am I breaking the law?”
Ji Guomin said shamelessly, “What’s wrong with me educating my daughter? I’m the one who had her and raised her. I gave her her life. She’s mine. Why can’t I beat her?”
Ji Guomin was about to walk out as he said, “Let’s have others be the judge of this. It is justifiable for adults to beat their children! They’re not mature yet. We have to teach them the principles of being a good person. There’s an old saying, spare the rod, spoil the child! Why aren’t you following the principles of our ancestors? Officer, your level of thinking needs to be improved!”
Chapter 132: God D*mn Self-Defense
“Besides officer, I called you here to solve the problem of someone hitting me. Why do you care so much?”
Ji Guomin said angrily, “She just hit me in front of you. Are you not going to care about that? Watch yourself, I’ll complain to your leader that you didn’t do a good job and neglected your duty. You take the money the people gave you but didn’t do your job. Can you still be called a police officer?”
Yan Xia wanted to throw ten thousand dirty words at this vile scoundrel but considering his identity, he could only swallow his words.
He turned his head impatiently, he wanted to avoid Ji Guomin’s spray of saliva. He thought to himself, if this little girl wasn’t here, he would have already left.
A cold female voice sounded.
“It was self-defense.”
Ji Guomin couldn’t take it anymore. “How can this be considered self-defense? I didn’t hit you, you hit me with the belt! How can this be called self-defense?”
“One, I have nothing to do with you. Two, the belt isn’t mine. Three…”
Jiang Yu open her hand. “I was injured as well, so it was self-defense.”
There were red marks on her palm but it was obvious that it was caused by her holding onto the two thin strips of the belt.
However, the little girl’s skin was too fair and tender, the lines looked far worse than they really were.
Yan Xia almost wanted to cheer for Jiang Yu. God d*mn self-defense!
Although he did not know where this little girl got her strength from or the extent of her twisted logic… No, no, no. Her logic was perfect!
Since Jiang Yu had opened her mouth, how could Yan Xia not agree?
He continued Jiang Yu’s words, “Yes, it was self-defense. You are now suspected of committing violence against two underage girls. Please come with us.”
How could Ji Guomin have known, in his attempt to sue Jiang Yu, he would end up implicating himself instead?
He shouted, “You must be in cahoots with her! How much did you take from her?! To help her like this! How can you call yourself a police officer?! You are a scum who sucks the blood of the people!”
Yan Xia raised his eyebrows. “Go on, continue. You can be detained longer for insulting a police officer. I want to see how long you plan to stay with us.”
Ji Guomin was terrified. He had always bullied the weak and feared the strong. The man standing in front of him now was wearing a police uniform. As the officer stood there and spoke to him in a serious tone, he immediately felt guilty.
He hadn’t wanted to go head-to-head with Jiang Yu after she had given him two slaps. It was like he knew that he couldn’t beat her.
Tong Manyun said anxiously, “Ran Ran, how could you do this to your father? How could you report him to the police officers?”
“We are all family. Even if your father hit you, it’s because he loves you! He hit you because he had high hopes for his daughter and had high expectations for you!”
Yan Xia was stunned.
He looked at the pregnant woman. He had assumed that she was not in a good position in the family due to her pregnancy. That was why she couldn’t protect her daughter.
The reason why she had said such words earlier was probably that she didn’t want them to know about the scandal but now, her words were a little too much.
Yan Xia stammered, “Do you mean that you support your husband beating your daughter?”
Tong Manyun said defiantly, “In this society, there are many families whose parents beat their children when they’re young. Aren’t they doing it for their own good? Officer, don’t make a big fuss over nothing!”
Listen to them, are they still speaking human?
How could the thoughts of these two people be twisted to such an extent?
The feudal society had long passed!
Yan Xia was at a loss for words.
His earlier thoughts, he took them back. It was an absolute tragedy that this little girl had parents like these.
“Ha.”
With a sneer, Jiang Yu stood up.
