章 46: Such an Evil Girl

編集者: EndlessFantasy Translation

They reminded Jing Yunzhao of her previous life when she had accidentally killed Qiao Weimin in self-defence. When it happened, Qiao Hongye and the friends and relatives of the Qiao Family had had the same look on their face when they questioned her.

"How is Cousin now, Mother?" The boy who threw the rock asked as soon as he saw his mother.

"We don't know. The doctor said it was quite serious, and he's not very optimistic considering the excessive bleeding," his mother sighed and said.

The boy sighed in relief as soon as he heard it.

Jing Yunzhao watched his expression change in contempt.

They claimed to be close, but look at how he hoped his cousin would die just so that he could protect himself. Without the testimony from his injured cousin, he could easily put the blame on her. Such behaviour disgusted her.

"It's all because of you, Jing Yunzhao! My cousin would not be in this condition if not for you!" Lu Jia remembered how well her cousin used to treat her and started shouting at Jing Yunzhao.

Jing Yunzhao wasn't going to explain herself at first but when Lu Jia accused her in front of everyone, she decided not to hold back.

"Was it really because of me though? It was you and your cousins who stopped me on the road to pick a fight and ended up getting hurt. How dare you put the blame on me now?"

"That is not true! You were the one who threw the rock and injured my cousin!" Lu Jia blurted out nervously.

"Ohh, so you know it was a rock that injured your cousin?" Jing Yunzhao scoffed, "I am sure you brought the rock back since it's considered evidence, officer, so you can test the blood and fingerprints on it against our samples."

The room fell silent instantly.

The incident had unfolded so quickly that Lu Jia and her cousins had only been thinking about putting the blame on Jing Yunzhao; none of them had thought about the rock.

The boy who threw the rock was especially nervous. He glared at Jing Yunzhao viciously, and an idea flashed in his mind when he saw the jacket Jing Yunzhao was holding.

"That's because Jing Yunzhao had her jacket wrapped around her fist! Her fingerprints won't be on the rock because she picked it up with her jacket around her fist. As for my fingerprints, they got onto the rock when I tried to stop her and snatched the rock out of her hand," the boy who threw the rock said quickly.

The police officers observed his suspicious behaviour and frowned. Even his own mother could tell that his explanation was fishy.

But he was her son and she would take his side.

"How on earth does such an evil girl like you exist? I swear we will have you thrown in jail if anything happens to my nephew!" Lu Jia's aunt exclaimed grievously.

"Don't be so sure yet." Jing Yunzhao glanced at Lu Jia's aunt then said to the boy who threw the rock, "yes, I did wrap the jacket around my fist, but you can tell from the creases that I wrapped only one hand and there is no way that I could throw a rock hard enough to injure someone so badly with just one hand. Also, officer, I did not wrap my hand with my jacket to wipe off evidence - I did it because I did not want to hurt anyone even though I was just defending myself. Wrapping the jacket around my fist softens the impact."

But Jing Yunzhao had never expected something like this to happen.

She had only wanted to teach them a lesson while leaving behind no evidence so that they wouldn't be able to make stories out of it.

However, when one of them picked up the rock, she was bitterly disappointed to learn that someone who barely knew her could have the intention of killing her.

章 47: Closer Than Even Real Brothers

編集者: EndlessFantasy Translation

She had started learning martial arts not long ago so she was by no means an expert. Although not badly injured, she was not completely unhurt from the fight, and had almost been hit by the rock.

Now that it had begun to rain, most of the evidence would have been washed away and no one would have known what really happened if she had been found dead in the alley.

Jing Yunzhao had anticipated all this the moment the boy picked up the rock.

Moreover, what Jing Yunzhao said made more sense compared to the boy's explanation earlier. Although the bruises on Lu Jia's cousins were obvious, the scratches on Jing Yunzhao's face and arms were just as visible.

Jing Yunzhao definitely did not look like the one who picked the fight since it was one girl against four boys.

"How can you be so shameless?! My nephew's life is now hanging by a thread and you are saying that you didn't do it? Did your parents not teach you how to behave? Who attacked my nephew if not you? My son? Officer, my son is extremely close to my nephews, they are closer than even real brothers!" Lu Jia's aunt yelled loudly.

What a nice thing to say considering it was her son who stopped Lu Jia from calling the police as soon as the incident took place.

Had he not delayed calling the police, the injured boy would probably be in a less critical condition than he was now.

Lu Jia's aunt's son tried to look humble while the rest of the boys were shocked.

"There is no way that my granddaughter would ask for trouble, officer!" Gan Songbo said fiercely from the back.

Jing Yunzhao was touched by what Gan Songbo said felt grateful to him.

Although they were god-grandfather and granddaughter now, they hardly knew each other, but Gan Songbo helped her out unconditionally and trusted her even though she could be involved in an assault or even murder. His attitude towards Jing Yunzhao was such that even a real grandfather could not compare.

Jing Yunzhao felt overwhelmed, but so was Gan Songbo.

He was very fond of the little girl who was passionate about medical knowledge, or he would not have helped her out time and time again.

She had come to the police station twice within a short period of time despite only being a teenage girl. How was she going to live her life if she kept being suspected at a young age like this?

She had no parents, and her days would be challenging if he as her god-grandfather did not help her out.

"Grandpa," Jing Yunzhao called Gan Songbo, her eyes tearing as she stood up.

"I know you have been wronged, Yunzhao. Do not worry, they will not be able to do anything to you if you are innocent," Gan Songbo said kindly.

"She has been wronged? Look at what she has done to our children! One of them is actually in the hospital now!" The woman shrieked indignantly.

"Tell Grandpa, Yunzhao, what happened?" Gan Songbo asked Jing Yunzhao after calming himself down at the lady's hurtful words.

Jing Yunzhao told Gan Songbo the truth about how they bumped into each other and how the event unfolded honestly.

Jing Yunzhao had a good memory and managed to recall everything from the beginning to the end clearly, including what each of them had said and did.
