The School Beauty from the Next Class Insisted I Confess - Chapter 39

Who was the quick-witted person who called the police? It was, of course, Xia Yiqiu.

The moment the people outside barged in, she sensed that something was wrong and chose to call the police immediately.

After the situation was controlled, the person leading the officers turned out to be Bao Xing’an, the kindly old police officer who had handled the Painter Li incident last time. The amiable officer was surprised to see them again.

When asked who called the police, Xia Yiqiu had already stepped forward, closely followed by Xu Qingfeng.

“Young ladies, it’s you two again.”

Officer Bao, due to the previous incident, had no doubt that the two ‘little heroes’ were not the instigators of the current situation.

“Yes, Officer.”

Xu Qingfeng stepped forward to explain the cause. Even Officer Bao, who was accustomed to big scenes, was disgusted by the act of preying on a destitute household and bullying an orphan. He righteously exclaimed, “Damn it.”

He didn’t say much else. Then, adjusting his expression, he remarked, “Your agility is still impressive, young lady. Are you interested in applying to the Police Academy when you grow up?”

Officer Bao could tell that Xu Qingfeng had the makings of a great police officer.

Xu Qingfeng smiled shyly, “You’re truly giving me too much credit.”

“Hahahaha, young people nowadays are quite modest.”

Officer Bao laughed heartily. With the criminals turning on each other, the case, although involving criminal elements, posed little harm to society and served as a warning, keeping his mood from becoming too heavy.

Peng Lingxiang’s stab was truly vicious. Brother Liu lost consciousness on the way to the hospital, and despite the hospital’s final humanitarian efforts to save him, he met the just retribution for the many wicked deeds he had committed in his life.

As for the madwoman, Xia Yiqiu specifically consulted her family lawyer. Although the injury was accidental, the criminal motive was established, coupled with hiring others to commit crimes. With multiple charges compounded, she faced either the death penalty or life imprisonment.

The rest of the Psychology Club members were all taken to the police station to give statements. The school dispatched Liu Li to pick them up.

Liu Li’s face was grim when he arrived. Hearing that his students were involved in a brawl, he feared the matter was quite serious this time.

To his surprise, when he entered, there was a scene of cheerful laughter. The students looked radiant and spirited, each discussing the details of the fight, taking pride in their victory.

Strange, strange, he thought, these little rascals.

Liu Li spotted Han Feng, saw a scratch on his face, and sighed, “Sigh.”

He pointed a finger at Han Feng, disappointed.

“Look at yourselves, you fought and yet show no remorse. You little rascals are all grinning, don’t you feel any pain?”

Liu Li didn’t believe his students would actively provoke trouble, and he felt sorry that they were injured. Without knowing the truth, he was only worried that the students hadn’t learned their lesson and would be so impulsive again in the future.

A young officer handling the case came forward to ask for Liu Li’s identity.

“May I ask who you are?”

“I am Liu Li, the teacher of these students. The school sent me to handle the related issues.”

Liu Li’s tone was respectful and not condescending.

“No wonder! Only a good teacher like you can cultivate so many excellent students!”

The young officer genuinely praised him.

Liu Li felt as though he must have misheard. On the way here, he had prepared himself for punishment from the school, as the leaders of this incident were all his 11th-grade students, including his class president.

Afterward, upon learning the full story, Liu Li was beaming with pride.

They deserve to be my students—courageous and resourceful!

He, too, was bathed in glory. The staff at the police station treated him with respect. After returning to school, the flattering praises from other teachers were nonstop, resulting in Liu Li waking up with a smile for the next few days.

Xu Qingfeng’s deeds this time could not be kept secret from Old Xu and the others. Unlike the previous incident with Painter Li, which she volunteered to tell, this case involved a death and had a greater impact. Old Xu received the news, consulted with Ms. Yan, and immediately rushed to the police station.

Xu Zhenzhong’s presence commanded respect outside. Despite not bringing any escort, people recognized them as soon as they entered the hall.

“Secretary Xu.”

“Director Xia.”

They acknowledged each greeting with a nod.

The person leading them was specifically there to greet them. After chatting with the police chief for a long time and understanding the situation, they were led to a room where Xu Qingfeng, Xia Yiqiu, and Gao Zhi were waiting. Of course, Gao Zhi was an add-on.

They were the main witnesses to the case, so there were many questions to ask, but for now, they were waiting for Old Xu to take them home.

The other club members who had finished their statements had mostly left. They were classified as self-defense, but the little ruffians were in trouble and were all detained.

Fortunately, Liu Li exempted them from evening self-study, urging his lovely students to get some rest.

Han Feng exclaimed loudly, “Long live Old Class!”

Liang Hao excitedly agreed, “Long live Teacher Liu!”

Xia Yiqiu, not knowing the specific reason, was genuinely worried about leaving Xu Qingfeng alone and chose to stay with her.

Xu Zhenzhong, having concluded his meeting with his old comrade, finally couldn’t contain his excitement on the way to the room, walking with a brisk, powerful stride.

My wonderful daughter, well done!

Unlike Xu Zhenzhong’s delight, Ms. Yan Chunhua was more concerned about her daughter’s safety. Although she knew Xu Qingfeng was fine, she needed to see her with her own eyes to be at ease.

Both walked quickly. The staff member leading them hurried to adjust their pace, murmuring to himself.

These two are truly from the military, as expected.

Inside the room, Gao Zhi was so tired she was dozing off.

Fighting also required strength, and she had a genuinely packed weekend with lots of physical exertion.

It was a pity that their original goal today was to help “Weicheng Sunshine” clean up and clear weeds, so they would have to come back another time.

Xu Qingfeng, having coincidentally resolved a hidden danger, considered the trip worthwhile.

If you were to ask her what her greatest gain was.

Her answer would be Xia Yiqiu leaning on her shoulder.

Previously, she never understood her place in Yiqiu’s heart, but after today, even she, the biggest fool, knew that Xia Yiqiu cared about her very, very much.

She didn’t dare to ask for the inseparable bond of lovers, but even if it was just the bond of friends.

That is enough.

The moment Xu Zhenzhong stepped into the room, he saw Xu Qingfeng sitting upright, deep in thought, Xia Yiqiu lightly dozing on her shoulder, and Gao Zhi on the verge of collapsing into sleep.

Old Xu, who had intended to loudly praise his daughter, awkwardly withdrew his widely-opened arms.

He clearly saw his capable little Xu using her finger to motion for silence over her lips, her movement gentle, afraid of waking the girl beside her.

Xia Yiqiu had been under tremendous stress today. Anyone seeing the person they loved almost get stabbed would find it hard to stay calm. The tension that had been held for a full day finally eased onto a secure shoulder as the last rays of the setting sun shone through the window.

Old Xu, who had a belly full of things to say to his little Xu, was stunned as he watched his little Xu’s next action.

Xu Qingfeng gently lifted Xia Yiqiu into her arms, carrying her horizontally, and then simultaneously kicked Gao Zhi awake.

“Ah, who kicked me?”

The newly awakened Gao Zhi’s voice wasn’t loud, just weak, like she was talking in her sleep.

She looked up at her best friend.

Huh.

How impressive. She can even do a princess carry.

But why was Xu Qingfeng carrying President Xia? She couldn’t figure it out.

“Get up quickly, I’m taking you home.” Xu Qingfeng’s voice still held little emotion, and she didn’t bother to explain the current situation to her best friend.

Gao Zhi got up and saw her Auntie Yan. Just as she was about to say hello, Xu Qingfeng’s gaze shot over.

Okay, little Gao shuts up. Little Gao can’t afford to provoke the crazed blockhead Xu.

When they were about to reach the door, Old Xu still hadn’t reacted, blocking the doorway.

It’s a good thing Ms. Yan’s emotional intelligence was high; she pulled Old Xu aside.

“Let’s go. Whatever you have to say, we can talk about it at home.”

Ms. Yan saw that her daughter still had the strength to carry someone, clearly indicating she was fine, and her worries had long been assuaged.

She didn’t care if her child achieved great success or was exceptionally intelligent. She was content as long as her daughter grew up safe and healthy and found her own happiness.

Ms. Yan’s wish would likely come true in the near future.

“Alright, let’s go then.”

Xu Zhenzhong thought that some things weren’t urgent. He would wait until they got home to praise her thoroughly. He had been immensely proud of himself in front of his old comrade earlier.

Hahahaha, just thinking about it makes me happy.

Fortunately, Old Xu and Ms. Yan arrived in two separate cars. One was dispatched to take Xia Yiqiu and Gao Zhi home, while Old Xu and Ms. Yan headed home first.

Xu Qingfeng naturally wouldn’t leave Xia Yiqiu to go home alone. She carried Xia Yiqiu and sat in the back seat.

The sleep was shallow after all. Not long after the car started, Xia Yiqiu woke up.

“Blockhead, why am I here?”

Waking up teary-eyed, she wiped away the tears brought on by exhaustion and subconsciously uttered that nickname.

“Yiqiu, I’m taking you home.”

Xu Qingfeng answered softly.

Xia Yiqiu belatedly realized she was in Xu Qingfeng’s arms and that her hand had been instinctively wrapped around the person’s neck.

She slightly pursed her lips, and her cheeks suddenly flushed red. Class President Xia, who usually teased others, now buried her head in the person’s chest.

Suddenly realizing what she was leaning against, she instantly lifted her head.

Yet, she saw the composed Xu Qingfeng, and Xia Yiqiu’s rebellious thoughts flared up.

Why should I be the only one who’s shy?

“Then did I just jump into your arms?”

Xia Yiqiu’s eyes were enchantingly seductive, like a fox. She sat mischievously in Xu Qingfeng’s lap, revealing the dimples on her face.

Her lips, scarlet after being bitten, were slightly parted.

Xu Qingfeng, being stared at directly, felt her heart skip a beat. Was something scratching at her?

“I… I carried you.” Xu Qingfeng’s words were a little timid.

Xia Yiqiu took the opportunity to rest her head back on her shoulder.

“Then thank you, Blockhead~.”

A demon, a genuine fox demon.

Xu Qingfeng, whose thoughts were running wild, cleared her throat uncomfortably, trying to hide her internal panic. Her face was red down to her neck, and the hands holding the person were wandering, unable to find a secure grip.

“You’re welcome.” She finally managed to say the words.

Xu Qingfeng didn’t dare to look directly at Xia Yiqiu, so she didn’t see the satisfied smile on her face.

Sure enough, teasing my Blockhead is the most fun.

“Hahahahahaha.”

A pleasant burst of laughter came from Xu Qingfeng’s embrace.

“Yiqiu, what are you laughing at?”

“Don’t mind it.”

“Mm.”

It wasn’t until it was time to get out of the car that the driver woke up the sleeping Gao Zhi in the front seat.

“Oh, we’re here,” Gao Zhi, who had been asleep the moment she got in the car, could finally collapse into her soft bed. She stretched and got out of the car.

I think I heard someone laughing just now, must be an illusion.

After dropping the two of them off at home, the driver, Old Chang, chatted casually with Xu Qingfeng in the car. He had been Old Xu’s dedicated driver for several years and had watched Xu Qingfeng grow up.

He remarked that the child had become much livelier, and perhaps making more friends was a good thing. Xu Qingfeng and that girl she was with just now seemed very close.

Upon returning home, Old Xu and Ms. Yan completely dropped the pretense.

“My wonderful daughter, Xu Zhenzhong’s daughter, is home!” Old Xu’s face was all smiles as he placed the dishes he had cooked on the table.

At this moment, Old Xu was no longer struggling with whether Xu Qingfeng should go to a military academy. His daughter’s character was beyond question. He believed she would grow up to be a person of great moral integrity and compassion.

Xu Qingfeng saw Old Xu’s actions and swallowed hard.

Is it really safe to eat?
