The police station.
If Wan Qianqian wasn't mistaken, she had just left three hours ago. She didn't expect to be back so soon.
Not long after the three of them sat on the chairs, a tall and powerful white man came in from outside. He had blonde hair and dark blue eyes. He was indeed good-looking. After looking around, his eyes fell on the person in the middle. "Miss Wan Qianqian, I've already remembered your name. I don't know if I'm lucky or unlucky."
She looked at the badge on his chest and replied with a smile, "Mr. Thomas, I think it's an honor for me."
"You're involved in the illegal use of firearms and endangering the safety of others and society. We will detain you according to Canberra law and notify your country's embassy. Of course, your actions didn't cause any substantial harm, so there will be no prosecution and no international court."
As soon as she heard the word 'court', Wan Qianqian's occupational disease flared up. She stood up to argue with him, but when she realized that she was a suspect, her attitude immediately became more respectful. "Mr. Thomas, may I ask if I can defend myself if I'm injured here?"
"Of course, the only place where you can't defend yourself is probably Satan's hell."
"If you're willing to take your tea time and look at the surveillance footage, you'll know that we were defending ourselves. If that's the case, are we still committing a crime?"
The man's expression changed. He didn't hold back at all. "Alright, this is my fault. I'll look at the surveillance footage carefully and make a very serious and rigorous judgment. Before that, I'll have to trouble Miss Wan to condescend to stay here for a while."
"I can stay here, but our two friends need to leave."
God knows how long she had been waiting for Sakai Sakura to come out. How could she only stay outside for three hours?!
No matter what, Sakai Sakura couldn't be locked up again.
Thomas's gaze fell on Sakai Sakura, and he frowned imperceptibly. "No, everyone involved in the incident needs to stay here."
"May I ask, sir, where did the fight take place?"
"In the Woodfern Continent."
"According to the law, anyone who was at the scene of the crime is related to the incident, right?"
He carefully thought about this tongue-twister and replied, "Yes, it's not wrong to think so."
Wan Qianqian spread her hands and asked in confusion, "Then why is Officer Thomas still standing here? Hurry up and go!"
It wasn't until now that Sakai Sakura and Lin Chenxi understood what she meant. They both lowered their heads and giggled.
Looking at their smiles, Tomis was at a loss, but he still asked in a low voice, "What should I do?"
"The people who showed up at the crime scene are all related to the incident. Since Officer Thomas believes that all related parties need to stay at the police station, why don't you bring everyone else here? According to my incomplete count, I've seen at least a hundred people on the road."
"…"
Thomas did not speak for a long time. Perhaps he did not even know what to say. This was the first time he had encountered such a difficult opponent.
"According to the file, Miss Wan Qianqian is a lawyer. I didn't believe that such a beautiful lady would be my lawyer."
Wan Qianqian smiled confidently. This qualification was her pride. "Do you believe it now?"
"Very firmly. I think you must be an excellent lawyer."
"That's right. I hope Mr. Thomas will let my friends go. Otherwise, my excellent lawyer may cause you trouble."
He gestured to Lin Chenxi and Sakai Sakura with his finger. "You just need to release the two of them, right?"
"No, I need to take everyone with me."
The moment the door opened, Gu Tanfeng rushed in, directly bypassing Tomis and came to Wan Qianqian's side.
After pulling her up, he turned her around and carefully sized her up. When Lin Chenxi saw the great god appear, she heaved a sigh of relief from the inside out: "Don't worry, the reinforcements you brought came in time, none of us were injured."
Following behind him was Wen Yuen. After walking in, she obediently stood behind Lin Chenxi.
"Mr. Gu, I'm very sorry. We are performing official duties, may I ask …"
Gu Tanfeng waved his hand and interrupted him. "How is Ned Stark recently?"
His expression froze on his face. He licked his lips and replied absentmindedly, "My teacher is in good health, but he was transferred to Canberra."
"Of course I know. Otherwise, he would have come out to greet me."
The atmosphere was a little awkward. Tomis's tone was not as arrogant as before. He explained, "Miss Wan Qianqian …"
"I know about this. But does Officer Tomis know about the reconstruction of Garden of Eden?"
"I've heard a little about it."
He smiled and touched Wan Qianqian's head. He hid her behind him and crossed his arms in front of his chest. "In this case, Officer Tomis is a little slack in his work. After all, your director, Mr. Lancelot, has been paying special attention to this project."
"I understand. This is our fault for not taking good care of you and causing you to be frightened. I will definitely investigate the suspect and give you an explanation."
"It's best if that's the case."
Wan Qianqian looked at him and bowed slightly. She stretched out a hand and made an inviting gesture. "Can I go now?"
"Of course. Please forgive me for the inconvenience caused."
Not only could they leave, Tomis personally sent them to the door and said that if the men in black came looking for trouble again, they could inform the police station.
Wan Qianqian was in a state of confusion due to the change in his attitude.
Other than the police station, looking at the large motorcade outside, she did not know which car to take. Sakai Sakura and the other two very consciously turned around and walked in another direction. Gu Tanfeng dragged Wan Qianqian to the second car in the front row.
"Did you just come from the Eastern Chinese University?"
"No, I just came from the Red Army."
She didn't know whether to use a reproachful tone or a grateful one. She had mixed feelings. "Sure enough, those people from the Red Army were moved here by you."
When Wan Qianqian was waiting to be scolded, she didn't expect Gu Tanfeng to apologize. "I'm sorry, I was careless this time. I didn't expect that you would have such trouble on the way to pick up Sakai Zakura. If I had known, I would have come with you."
"Don't say that. I have to thank you for this."
As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Tanfeng stared at her and suddenly raised his hand to hit her on the head.
Wan Qianqian, who was in pain, held her head and asked, "Ouch, what are you doing?!"
"What's the relationship between us? Are you crazy to say thank you to me? "
Seeing how serious he was even when he was angry, Wan Qianqian smiled and leaned on him. She suddenly realized that she was good at flattery. "Well, isn't it because I'm a little embarrassed for causing trouble for you all day?"
Her expression was reflected in Gu Tanfeng's eyes. He smiled lovingly and said, "I can't believe you're embarrassed. Looks like I can rest in peace."
Wan Qianqian's face turned dark red and she became a little embarrassed. She rubbed her nose and forcefully changed the topic. "Why did Thomas's attitude suddenly change?"
"Because Director Lancelot cares about the Garden of Eden reconstruction project. After he's hospitalized after it's completed, the credit will fall on him. The widely publicized director's humanitarianism will help him in the next mayor election."
If that was the case, the entire town would know that the Garden of Eden Relief Hospital was Lancelot's doing. Seriously, he could even give out gifts for doing good deeds. How could he face his God by doing this?!
She complained indignantly, "But you're the one who started this project!"
Gu Tanfeng didn't seem to care. "I don't have any use for it. I'm not going to be elected mayor."
Originally, he preferred to appear in front of the screen. He preferred to do things behind the scenes. A tall tree attracts the wind. It was safer to stay hidden.
She asked again doubtfully, "Is it really not going to affect you?"
"I'm not lying to you. Maybe Lancelot will find out and take some money. But I don't think that's very likely."
"That's good."
The whole thing went on for a day. When Wan Qianqian returned home, it was already 4: 30 in the afternoon. The two kids were already home from school.
Wan Xinyi pursed her lips and waited for her on the stairs. She wanted to grumble when she came back, but when she saw the person who walked in, she almost couldn't believe her eyes. She rubbed her eyes hard and shouted, "Teacher Xiao Quan?! You're finally back! "
Sakura took a few steps forward and directly hugged her in her arms. "Thank you, Wan Xinyi, for still remembering me."
"I prayed to Orochi every day, hoping that Teacher Koizumi would come back early."
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but laugh. She touched the little girl in front of her. She didn't expect the little girl to remember the Japanese myth that she mentioned casually. She smiled gently and said, "Maybe Orochi heard your prayers and let Sensei come back."
Wan Qianqian also joked, "Maybe Orochi will bring strawberry cake to thank you."
Wan Xinyi, who was afraid of snakes, hurriedly said politely, "No, no, let the strawberry cake come by itself."
Wen Yuen laughed so hard that her stomach hurt and she almost rolled on the ground.
Gu Tanfeng retracted his gaze from the smiles of several people and said to the people next to him, "Let's eat here tonight. We'll listen to Miss Sakura's explanation and discuss what to do next."
Lin Chenxi raised her chin and gestured to Sakura. "You really don't care?"
"I don't have the final say on this. It depends on my wife."
