Chapter 324: 317 Boyfriend Arrival

Inside the police station, Sun’s mother was alone, crying and making a scene, accusing the school of harming her daughter. She also blamed her daughter’s dorm-mates, arguing that they could’ve sent her daughter to the hospital earlier. According to her, everyone was heartless. Her daughter had been so good to them, but in the end, they had treated her daughter this way.

Upon hearing this, Tang Yuxin rolled her eyes dismissively. Being nice to them? There wasn’t a day when they hadn’t been bullied by her.

Before Tang Yuxin could even finish her sentence, their instructor had already explained the situation. According to him, Sun Yumeng had taken the drugs only after they had left the dorm. By the time they returned, she was already in a critical condition. If they hadn’t found her in time, not only would her womb be lost, but her life would be too.

After hearing the explanation, the police officer couldn’t help throwing Sun’s mother an extra glance. Like mother like daughter, he thought, this incident had clearly nothing to do with the four female students. The cause of all this was her daughter’s irresponsible behaviour. Yet, Sun’s mother had shamelessly dragged these innocent girls into it, in her attempt to shift blame.

Sun’s mother snorted coldly, convincing herself that those who saw no trouble now would eventually suffer. Now that her daughter had lost her womb and was unable to have children in the future, she would not let anyone else off the hook. She was resolved to drag as many people as she could down with her.

“You say you have a friend, is it a male friend? Where did you find him? And mind you, which one of you is also pregnant?” Her accusatory gaze swept over their stomachs.

The instructor’s face changed at her words, wishing he could slap her right across her face.

Both Lin Yile and Ting Yuan were furious, but Tang Yuxin shook her head at them. The more they endured now, the farther they would be from the troubles they shouldn’t have been bearing in the first place.

“Tang Yuxin,” the instructor called Yuxin’s name.

“Sir, I’m here,” Tang Yuxin’s eye was hurting terribly, so she could only look at him with one eye. Her vision was a little blurry. She had been up all night and was already very weary and tired.

“Call your friend over.”

Tang Yuxin agreed and placed her backpack down. She then took out a piece of paper from it, having kept it neatly folded in perfect squares.

Picking up the station’s phone, she took a deep breath before dialling the number.

Her fear was that Qin Ziye wouldn’t pick up or wasn’t available.

Fortunately, the call was answered after only a few rings.

“Hello…?”

It was Qin Ziye’s voice.

“Qin Ziye, it’s me.”

“Yuxin?” Qin Ziye, still wearing his pyjamas, was a little sleepy. He was pleasantly surprised that his new girlfriend had actually called him. Was she missing him?

The smile that had just formed on his lips just a few seconds ago quickly disappeared.

“I understand, don’t worry, I’ll be there immediately,” and with that, he hung up the phone. He then hastily put on his clothes, grabbed his car keys from the table, and rushed out the door.

As he drove along the dimly lit, late-night streets, he noticed the moths continuously hurling themselves towards the lit lamp, relentlessly banging against it over and over again.

He stepped on the accelerator, speeding towards the police station.

Upon entering the station, he quickly took in the state of affairs before making his way inside. Not long ago, he had seen these young girls lively at dinner. Now, they all looked drained, keeping their eyes downcast and remaining silent. And there was Tang Yuxin, sitting against a wall with her backpack as her pillow, looking somewhat lonely.

Qin Ziye walked over and placed a hand on Tang Yuxin’s shoulder.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

As Tang Yuxin lifted her face, she attempted to rub her eyes but stopped due to a sudden pain. Her hand then dropped back down.

“What happened to your eye?” Qin Ziye lifted Tang Yuxin’s face. For a moment, he had been shocked, thinking that her eye had been injured. On closer inspection, he found that the actual problem was below her eye, and although her eye was slightly red, it didn’t seem to be serious.

“It’s nothing,” Tang Yuxin got up, setting her bag aside.

Qin Ziye’s eyes narrowed as he turned to face the still ranting and raging Sun’s mother.

“Did you cause her injury?”

Sun’s mother snorted, “So what if I did? What, you’re the man she found, aren’t you? You like playing with these young girls, don’t you? Did you get them pregnant?”

The words spilled from her mouth without a trace of thought, as if the person standing before her was the man who had impregnated her daughter and then abandoned her, resulting in her daughter losing her womb.

If her daughter couldn’t get away with it, she certainly wasn’t going to let anyone else off the hook.

Just as Qin Ziye was about to lash out, Tang Yuxin grabbed his sleeve. He turned and saw her shake her head slightly.

“I got it,” Qin Ziye said as he sat down, placing his hands on the table.

“I’d like to know what happened,” he asked the police officer.

The police officer glanced at Sun’s mother, who was still hurling accusations.

“That lady’s daughter got pregnant before marriage and took abortion pills on her own. She had a miscarriage in her dorm room. Now, her womb has been removed in the hospital.”

“These four…” he pointed at Tang Yuxin and the others, “are her dorm mates. Now, that lady is accusing these four students of deliberate negligence.”

“When did this all happen?” Qin Ziye started tapping his fingers lightly on the table. This was something he often did but now it made him seem more in control and composed.

“Around eight o’clock at night.”

The police officer continued, “These students said that they were out having dinner with you at that time.”

“Yes,” Qin Ziye nodded. He pulled out his wallet, took out a receipt from it and placed it on the table.

“This is the bill from the restaurant. We left at around seven-ten. I drove them back around eight o’clock, and they entered the college at around eight-fifteen.”
