My Inner Thoughts Are Heard by the Entire Noble Academy

Chapter 21: Send in the Oranges

Chapter 21

At this point, Feng Yunhe still believed that Liang Rongrong was his father's illegitimate daughter, and he had no fond feelings towards her.

In the original story, although Liang Rongrong didn't possess breathtaking beauty, women universally despised her while men universally adored her.

Liang Rongrong had various types of male confidants who were willing to live, die, or crash into walls for her.

Standing up for one's goddess was no big deal in their eyes.

When Fu Huixing heard her immediately rule out Feng Yunhe, he couldn't help but glance at Shi Li.

However, Shi Li was famously love-struck, so he wasn't too surprised.

Fu Huixing had never seen anyone as love-struck as Shi Li. He wanted to advise her not to be too infatuated with one person, but they were just ordinary classmates, and saying such things might seem presumptuous given their casual relationship.

Fu Huixing then asked the thugs on the ground, "Who's your boss?"

The two thugs gave a cringeworthy nickname, a name Fu Huixing had never heard before. Anyone capable of such tasteless acts was clearly not a respectable figure.

Fu Huixing had a very dependable aura about him. Shi Li asked him, "Can I call the police?"

Hearing Shi Li mention calling the police, the two thugs lying on the ground struggled even more frantically.

"That's up to you," he replied.

Shi Li took out her phone and dialed the emergency number, giving them her location.

"I've encountered two robbers attempting to rob me at knifepoint. Please come quickly."

Hearing Shi Li report an attempted robbery to the police, the two thugs were in utter disbelief.

They hadn't robbed anyone!

They didn't even have the intention to rob!

They just wanted to drag her into the alley to do something...

But since they hadn't actually done it, even if they were arrested, they'd normally be held for just three to five days. If this girl had some background, they might be held for a bit longer, maybe ten days to half a month, and then they'd be out, free men once again.

But being associated with robbery was a much more serious charge.

As street thugs, they knew very well which crimes they couldn't afford to commit.

And this was armed robbery, no less.

What was most infuriating was that they did indeed have a knife earlier, but it was just to intimidate the meddler, hoping the sight of the blade would make them leave quickly.

Were all rich kids this vicious?

Soon, the police officers from the nearby precinct arrived, and were startled by the scene.

The thugs who looked like robbers were lying on the ground, clutching their stomachs and groaning in pain.

The good-looking young people who appeared to be the victims were clean and uninjured, not looking like they had been robbed at all.

The two officers who arrived were a bit confused. Who exactly was the victim here, and who were the robbers?

The more experienced officer spoke up, asking, "Who called the police?"

Shi Li raised her right hand like a schoolgirl, "Officer, I made the call."

Shi Li had been looking down earlier, so the police couldn't see her face clearly. Now that she looked up, the officers saw how strikingly beautiful she was.

This girl was incredibly pretty, even more so than celebrities on TV.

"I wanted to go to the food street to eat, but these two men pulled out a knife and demanded money. I was fortunate to encounter a classmate who came to my rescue."

Shi Li recounted the evening's events clearly and logically, pointing to the knife gleaming white not far away, "That's their weapon."

"My classmate even got injured while saving me," she added.

Shi Li turned to look at Fu Huixing, "Right?"

Fu Huixing: "Ah... yes."

He did indeed have injuries, but they weren't from today.

Dealing with these two small-time thugs wouldn't have left a mark on him.

As a school bully, it was natural that he couldn't always be gentle and peaceful. Getting into disputes and fights, having injuries was normal.

The police officers carefully placed the knife in an evidence bag and took everyone to the police station to record their statements.

"After school today, I went to the bookstore to buy some books. It was nearly dark when I left the store."

[My books were thrown into the alley]

[I hate you guys]

Shi Li's anguished inner thoughts penetrated the walls of the interrogation room, reaching every corner of the police station.

Unfortunately, only Fu Huixing could hear Shi Li's inner voice now.

"I wanted to go to the food street behind the school to eat. I had to pass through a small alley without streetlights. Those two men suddenly rushed out with a knife. I threw my two bags of books at them and ran desperately towards the crowded area. Luckily, my classmate was nearby. He's a kind-hearted person who often helps others. He probably heard the commotion and came running over."

"I'd always heard he was skilled in fighting, but I didn't realize he was that good. He took down those two bad guys in no time."

Shi Li and Fu Huixing gave their statements separately, finishing around the same time.

Since they were still students, the police asked their parents to come and pick them up.

By the time Shi Li finished giving her statement, her uncle and aunt had arrived.

"Ali, you weren't too scared today, were you? How can there still be such bad people in society these days?"

Shi Li's aunt put her arm around her, revealing the emerald green bracelet on her wrist that nearly dazzled the two officers' eyes.

"I'm fine, don't worry about me. Thankfully, someone was nearby and saved me just in time."

Shi Li's uncle exchanged pleasantries with the officers, "Officers, thank you for your trouble with tonight's incident. I'll take these two children home now."

Shi Li's uncle knew Fu Huixing and was aware of his family situation. He understood the specifics of his home life.

Realizing that probably no one would come to pick up Fu Huixing at this hour, he decided to take him home as well.

After watching them leave, the younger officer nudged his colleague, "How much do you think that bracelet costs? It must be expensive, right?"

The older officer, more experienced and knowledgeable, held up five fingers.

The young officer's eyes widened, "Five hundred thousand?"

The older officer shook his head, "Add another zero."

Now the young officer was too shocked even to exclaim. Goodness, that's like wearing a villa on your wrist.

He expressed some concern, "Don't you think with something that expensive, they'd be heartbroken if it got scratched or damaged?"

The older officer gave him a look, "First of all, they have housekeepers, so they don't need to do housework. Secondly, being able to afford such an expensive bracelet means they don't care about that amount of money."

"The gap between people is wider than the gap between humans and dogs. Who are these people? How can they be so rich?"

The older officer was now speechless, "Don't tell me you didn't recognize them?"

"Recognize who?"

The old police officer informed his apprentice, "That young girl's uncle is Shi Zhensheng."

Upon hearing this name, the young police officer understood. "So it's him."

His thought process took an unusual turn as he remarked, "Those two small-time crooks really are... something else."

Besides "something else," he couldn't think of any other fitting descriptions.

For their very first robbery to target a wealthy family's child - that kind of luck was unparalleled.
