Chapter 54: Who Gave You the Courage?
Office hall in the bureau.
Qin Ran’s departure had been abrupt, and Deputy Shen’s heart was not calm.
Qin Yu pursed her lips and watched as Lin Jinxuan returned from his phone call. She whispered, “Mother, Brother, shall we go back first? Aunt is still waiting for us.”
Ning Qing was now extremely anxious. She didn’t speak and just looked at Lin Jinxuan.
Lin Jinxuan glanced in the direction Qin Ran was taken away. He paused for a long while before looking down at his mobile phone. “Feng Ci just gave me the captain’s phone number. I’ll find aunt first, she should have some connections.”
These things couldn’t be explained in a few simple words, so Lin Jinxuan couldn’t help much by staying here either. He prepared to talk to Lin Wan deeper into the issue.
Ning Qing and Qin Yu followed closely behind him.
Lin Jinxuan noticed her and pursed his lips. “Aunt, aren’t you staying?”
Qin Ran was still at the police station and the conclusion hadn’t been drawn yet.
Impatient and annoyed, she stood where she was and said, “I’ll wait for the matter to be settled. Drive carefully.”
Qin Yu followed Lin Jinxuan into the car.
Coincidentally, a black car drove out of the garage with a Volkswagen brand on the outside.
It took people’s gaze with it.
Qin Yu didn’t seem to care about this car much, but Lin Jinxuan’s footsteps paused when he saw it.
“Brother, what’s wrong?” Qin Yu glanced at him.
Lin Jinxuan stared at the license plate, then shook his head after a while. “It’s nothing. Let’s go.”
That was Beijing’s license plate number, but now that Qin Ran’s affair was pressing, Lin Jinxuan didn’t think much about it and hurriedly turned to pick up the car.

Grandma Xu had not realized the tension of the matter.
Ever since Deputy Shen came, she had calmed down and had no idea what kind of person she had provoked.
She didn’t see that Deputy Shen was drinking tea now, suppressing the uneasiness in his heart.
Grandma Xu took the opportunity to talk to Deputy Shen about Qin Ran and the Lin family.
“Xu Shen might have indeed made a mistake, so it’s not too advantageous to him if we publicize this matter.” Deputy Shen was slightly relieved. He lowered his head and said to Grandma Xu, “I was just testing the little girl just now and scaring them. We will settle it privately. Xu Shen is so severely injured, the compensation fee must be heavy too.”
Grandma Xu nodded. The moment Pan Mingyue had spoken, she knew that she couldn’t publicize this.
“I’ll pay you as much as you want.” Ning Qing looked at the sharp and pondered openly, “The children can’t possibly stay at the police station at night...”
Ning Qing only had one request now. She mustn’t let Qin Ran leave a criminal record behind.
She laughed with a stiff face and didn’t dare to say anything.
Seeing how scared Ning Qing genuinely was, Grandma Xu and Deputy Shen relaxed a little. The Lin family was also notorious in Yun Cheng, and many people knew that Ning Qing was the second wife.
They also knew that Lin Qi’s second wife was from a small family and couldn’t afford to make much trouble. As for Qin Ran, she was just a student and they needn’t worry about her.
“If you want to pay the compensation, follow the rules...” Grandma Xu was mean by nature and always spoke while glaring at others.
“I know.” Ning Qing thought about it, picked up her cell phone and went outside to ask her lawyer.
After Ning Qing went out, Grandma Xu put down her teacup, wiped her mouth with a paper towel, and smirked. “The light of fireflies...”
But she didn’t get to finish her sentence.
Deputy Shen’s cell phone rang. He took out his phone and looked at it, shocked. “Chief?”
The person on the other end said something and caused Deputy Shen to jump up from his chair immediately, the veins on his forehead bulging. “Yes, yes.”
“Yes!”
“I understand...”
In just a few words of dialogue, Deputy Shen’s spirit was a bit sluggish.
“Deputy Shen, what’s wrong?” Grandma Xu held her teacup and took a sip of tea.
Deputy Shen rearranged his clothes nervously, his eyes obscure. “It’s the Chief!”
He had just walked to the door of the office hall and was facing a few people.
The Chief was still wearing his home clothes as if he had rushed here in a hurry and hadn’t had time to change his clothes.
The police were very familiar with him.
But the Chief was obviously one step behind the young man beside him, as if he were following the young man.
The police in the hall stood up immediately and called out “Chief”.
The other people also looked at him. This was the Chief?
They couldn’t help but look at the person beside him. Who was this man that made the Chief walk one step behind him?!
The young man’s eyebrows were down and his fingertips pinched a freshly lit cigarette. He walked forward and then paused, looking at the house full of people, and then laughed. “There are a lot of people here, eh?”
He looked around and saw the girl in the corner.
The girl had her head down, her short hair tied softly, and she seemed to be holding a cell phone. She seemed to be deep in thought, and a female officer was beside her.
“Young Master Lu?” The Chief said carefully.
Lu Zhaoying turned his head, glanced at Grandma Xu’s direction, and then at the squatting teenagers in the room. “You’re Qin Ran’s classmate, right? Come here, I’ll take you to find her.”
Subconsciously, Lu Zhaoying lightened his voice.
“Chief, settle this privately first, then publicize it.” Lu Zhaoying could settle this small matter with a few simple words. He really used his identity to compete with them and pressurize them. “I’ll take them back first. My lawyer will come soon. I hope I won’t see similar things happening in the future.”
The Chief wiped the cold sweat on his forehead. “I understand, Young Master Lu.”
He sent them to the door.
The Chief’s voice was so low and small, so nobody dared to even speak in the originally noisy hall.
“Hoo—” The people in the hall dared to breathe now.
When Lu Zhaoying had left with Pan Mingyue, Grandma Xu responded. “Deputy Shen, what... what is going on? Who is that person?”
Deputy Shen also spoke quietly, “The Chief.”
The Chief watched as Lu Zhaoying left. This time, he turned sideways and looked at Deputy Shen for a long while, before finally shaking his head. “It’s best if this matter is settled privately. If you are lucky, this matter can be resolved peacefully.”
“Then what about the compensation...” Grandma Xu had planned it to be settled privately, so she didn’t care too much about it.
“You still want them to compensate for the loss? If your family can make them settle it privately, it’s already considered a once in a lifetime struck of luck. They want to publicize it eventually! Deputy Shen, are you muddle-headed? Who gave you the courage to try to bring Director Jiang into this, huh?!”
