Whether it was because someone was about to hit Ji Wenyan or the sudden appearance of the police, Bai Mengze’s volatile emotions finally settled.
She returned to normal, no longer dwelling on the matter.
Hearing the system’s voice, Ji Wenyan immediately relaxed, thinking only that Bai Mengze must not lose any attributes!
He had worked so hard to raise them. If they dropped now, he felt he would cry.
“Officer, I didn’t mean to fight. I was just saying hello.”
“Rest assured, I’m not blind.”
“It really has nothing to do with me! If you don’t believe me, ask the people around. I didn’t lay a hand on him!”
As several police officers rushed over and pinned Foreman Liu against the wall, he started shouting, insisting that he never intended to hit anyone and that it was all a misunderstanding.
But the officers did not let go of him.
They had arrived just in time. Otherwise, these two students would have been bullied.
“It was him and Li Aijuan who wanted to lay hands on that girl. We had nothing to do with it!”
“I saw it too. Because the house is about to be demolished, Li Aijuan wanted to kick the tenant out without refunding the remaining rent!”
“We were only hired to do the job!”
What Foreman Liu never expected was that the other workers, upon seeing the police, would immediately spill everything without a shred of falsehood.
Clearly, these workers had no goodwill toward Foreman Liu, so much so that they were unwilling to lie for him.
Standing nearby, the Fat Landlord heard the workers expose her. A flicker of panic crossed her plump face, but it didn’t last long before she resumed her usual demeanor.
Hmph, could a few words prove her wrong?
At worst, she would let Bai Mengze continue renting. There was still a month until demolition.
As for the stuff already moved out… once she allowed Bai Mengze to stay, the girl would be grateful and wouldn’t say anything else.
After all, she was just a poor wretch.
“Officer, I had nothing to do with this! I had no idea… I only came over when I saw my tenant in trouble. You…”
“Stop making excuses. I recorded everything on my phone. It can be handed over to the police as evidence.”
Just as Li Meijuan was about to explain, Ji Wenyan’s voice rang out. She turned her head in dismay and saw Ji Wenyan smugly waving his phone at her.
His smile was radiant, and his slightly exposed white teeth seemed to gleam.
When had that damned brat recorded the video?
This time, it was over!
“Alright, thank you for providing the evidence. We will punish these people according to the law… Li Meijuan, please come with us to the police station.”
“No problem. I’m glad to help. My classmate’s lawyer will follow up on the case later.”
After hearing Ji Wenyan’s words and carefully checking the video, the police handcuffed Foreman Liu and Li Meijuan.
They had been handling a case at the supermarket when Ji Wenlin, after receiving his son’s call, immediately brought them here…
And indeed, someone was about to commit assault!
Thinking about this, the police looked at the ashen-faced Foreman Liu and Li Meijuan, then shook their heads. How could people their age have the nerve to bully kids?
Especially bullying someone from the Ji family.
That was like looking for trouble with a lantern—courting disaster.
“Wait, officer. Can I ask Li Meijuan one question?”
Just as the police were about to put the two into the patrol car, Bai Mengze suddenly spoke.
After instinctively glancing at Ji Wenlin, the officer looked at the plea in Bai Mengze’s eyes and nodded without further comment.
He was still here anyway. A few words wouldn’t hurt.
After all, he had to save face for the Ji family.
“Li Meijuan, I only want to ask you one thing: Is the Ji Dong Chain Hotel behind the demolition of this place?”
“How did you know!”
Seeing Li Meijuan’s shocked expression, Bai Mengze’s face darkened. She knew her guess was correct. All of this was that bastard Liang Quan’s doing.
She hadn’t even gone to settle scores with Liang Quan, yet he had come after her time and again.
What a bastard!
“Alright, I’m done asking. Thank you, officer.”
“No problem.”
Bai Mengze struggled to control her emotions. After speaking to the police, she watched as the two people who had just been so rude were taken into the patrol car. Yet she felt no relief.
First, it was her cousin Wen Ruo causing trouble. Now, the landlord was trying to drive her out. What next?
With all this, Liang Quan would definitely not stop!
What could she do to exact revenge on Liang Quan and quell the hatred in her heart?
“Bai Mengze, what’s wrong? You look terrible.”
“The Ji Dong Chain Hotel is one of Liang Quan’s family businesses. It’s not just Wen Ruo; the landlord is in on it too, all to force me…”
“Liang Quan… Bai Mengze, come live with me! I’ll help you deal with Liang Quan, just like I promised at school. If you live outside, I can’t guarantee your safety at all times! If Liang Quan succeeds, it’ll be too late.”
Upon learning that Liang Quan was involved, Ji Wenyan ignored Bai Mengze’s previous agitation and seriously invited her to stay at his house.
As he said, it was too dangerous for Bai Mengze to live outside!
Although he didn’t know why Liang Quan hadn’t sent thugs after Bai Mengze, Ji Wenyan couldn’t take such a big risk.
If something happened to Bai Mengze, he would be finished too.
Bai Mengze listened to Ji Wenyan’s words. Perhaps because she had heard them before, she wasn’t as agitated as earlier, but she still didn’t agree.
She was still hesitating.
Living in the Ji household could ensure her safety, but staying in someone else’s home made her very uncomfortable.
One should not accept favors without merit.
She hadn’t done much to help Ji Wenyan. How could she feel at ease living in his house?
On the contrary, receiving so much help from Ji Wenyan already made her uneasy.
[System: The host is hesitating. Please work harder to move in with the host soon!]
[‘Hey… System, why are you more anxious about this than I am? Do you want Bai Mengze to live here that badly?’]
[System: Close contact with the host will not only increase attributes faster but also allow the host to accept more tasks. Given the host’s current overall ability… please repay the overdue star essence points by next month, or the interest alone will be unbearable.]
[‘You know the interest is high!!!’]
After quickly finishing his conversation with the system, Ji Wenyan suppressed the urge to roll his eyes. Seeing that Bai Mengze was already hesitating, he decided to push through and win her over!
“Bai Mengze, inviting you to live with me is also a bit self-serving…”
“???”
“You know, apart from math, I’m not very good at other subjects. If you move in, we can study together. My parents have hired many tutors before, but none could teach me. If you can improve my grades, my parents will definitely be very happy.”
“Well… okay. I’ll move in with you and study together to improve!”
Thinking that she could help Ji Wenyan with his studies gave Bai Mengze a reason. She stopped hesitating and nodded to Ji Wenyan, agreeing to stay at the Ji house.
She had to avenge her parents and couldn’t afford to get hurt!
Bai Mengze’s words made Ji Wenyan inwardly pump his fist in victory. He had finally gotten her to agree to live with him!
From today on, they would start their happy cohabitation life!
