The group of people was brought back to the police station to give their statements.
“Xu Niannian, which one of them is your boyfriend?”
Xu Niannian glanced at Gu Pei and saw him looking over. She looked away angrily and pointed at Brother Long. “He’s the one.”
Hadn’t Gu Pei broken up with her? Of course, she wasn’t going to say she was his girlfriend.
Brother Long looked at Gu Pei provocatively and quickly said, “Officer, did you see that? I saw my girlfriend at the internet cafe tonight and flirted with her. I hugged her waist.
“It’s normal for couples to kiss and hug each other. That kid is just nosy. He pushed me the moment he came up.”
The other hooligans echoed Brother Long’s words.
This was the first time they had called the police, so they weren’t worried about being locked up. The hooligans were quite excited.
The policemen exchanged glances, surprise evident in their eyes.
If it weren’t for the need to remain professional and avoid gossip, they would have asked this girl why she didn’t like a handsome man but instead chose Brother Long, a notorious scoundrel who bullied others daily.
Gu Pei panicked. “No, she used to be my girlfriend… Xu Niannian, why didn’t you say that?!”
Gu Pei knew that if what Brother Long said was true, he would be the unreasonable one.
He could handle it. At worst, his parents would break his legs. But he was worried about how it might affect Gu Jin’s exam preparation.
Since the 100-day oath, the three college entrance exam students in his family were treated like precious pandas. He had even been nicer to Feng Jue, fearing that any disturbance might affect his preparation and lead to a scolding from his mother.
Moreover, if news of Gu Jin fighting at the internet cafe spread, it would damage her reputation. Outsiders wouldn’t care about her intentions. They would only see a girl who visited an internet cafe in the middle of the night and got into a fight, assuming she couldn’t be a good person.
Gu Pei tried to explain anxiously, but the hooligans were all talking at once. The scene was chaotic.
His voice was drowned out, but Xu Niannian heard him.
Her expression was cold, but she felt a bit satisfied. “You said we broke up.”
“Damn!” Gu Pei clenched his fists. At this moment, he hated Xu Niannian to death.
“Quiet!”
Hearing the sound of the table being slammed, everyone fell silent.
The police officer in front of Xu Niannian, aware of Brother Long’s criminal record, suspected Xu Niannian might be acting under duress. He gently asked her, “Xu Niannian, no one can threaten you here. Are you really Long Xiang’s girlfriend?”
Xu Niannian nodded. “Yes.”
Gu Pei cursed silently and urgently addressed the policewoman in front of him, “Officer, when she was with me, she didn’t say she had a boyfriend…”
Brother Long and the others began shouting, trying to interrupt Gu Pei again, but the police intervened. “Let Gu Pei finish speaking first.”
It wasn’t that they were dismissing Brother Long and his group; it was just that these individuals had extensive criminal records.
Despite their past run-ins with the law, they had been released not long after. Gu Pei, being a top student, was much more articulate than Brother Long and his gang. He took the initiative to explain the entire situation without much prompting.
“… At that time, Xu Niannian was my girlfriend. I saw a hooligan molesting her. Protecting my girlfriend was self-defense, right? And when the knife was about to cut my face, my sister stepped in to save me. There shouldn’t be a problem with that, right?”
The cops exchanged glances, nodded, and resumed taking statements.
Xu Niannian could clearly feel the shift in the police officer’s demeanor toward her after hearing Gu Pei’s words. It was as if they now saw her as a two-timing scumbag.
Gu Pei was truly heartless. He didn’t care about her at all when they broke up. It wasn’t like she didn’t want to testify for him. If he had just coaxed her a little…
