Chapter 111: Solution

  Several people suddenly fell silent, and no one spoke anymore.

  "Captain Luo, I'll go. It was my hand that moved first, so it's only right that I'm the one to apologize." Ji Xin'an had the mindset of an adult and knew that sometimes, some things were unavoidable. After all, they were the ones who made the first move, and apologizing wasn't a big deal anyway.

  "I'll go with you." Zou Ze heard this and immediately stood up. He wouldn't just go to apologize, he would even stand up for battle if needed.

  "I'll go too." Luo Jia-yi also stood up, after all, it was she who had triggered the whole thing.

  Several others saw this and also wanted to go together.

  "It's fine, it's not like we're fighting over something good. I'll just go myself. With so many people together, it feels like we're going to get into a fight or something. If only I go, they won't dare to make things difficult for me." Ji Xin'an said, without even letting Zou Ze accompany him.

  As expected, those people were surprised to see Ji Xinan come alone and were stunned for a moment. Looking at Ji Xinan in front of them, they couldn't help but have some fanciful thoughts, but as soon as they thought of her sharp eyes and impressive skills in the restaurant, they immediately dared not think more and withdrew their minds.

  Ji Xin'an is also not pretentious, although she is not a big husband, she can also be flexible and accommodating.

  "I'm sorry, hitting someone is not right for us. I apologize to you here." Although Ji Xin'an's words were light, her sincere eyes made it impossible for anyone to say she was insincere.

  Facing Ji Xin'an's weakness, coupled with her soft voice, even a few thugs wouldn't dare to bully her anymore. If they were outside, they might have said a few sarcastic words, but this was the police chief's office, so they all hastily shook their heads and said it was nothing, and that was the end of it.

  "Director Wang, I've apologized enough. As for the medical expenses and compensation, I'll send them over again tomorrow. Can my student go now?" Luo Min said coldly, forcing her innocent student to apologize, how could she feel comfortable otherwise?

  "This isn't right, is it? Since the compensation fee has already been agreed upon, just pay it and let him go." That Deputy Director Wang spoke in a tone that was all about official business, but somehow managed to make people feel like he was making things difficult for them.

  "Captain Luo, how much compensation is decided?" Ji Xin'an raised his head and asked in this situation.

  "Seven thousand, this includes medical expenses and compensation for the things you damaged." The director hadn't even finished speaking when Luo Min said it out loud. She was afraid that Ji Xinan wouldn't be able to accept it at first, so she explained how they had negotiated.

  This amount is neither too much nor too little, but she can't take it out now, even if she borrows from Wang Lan, it's impossible for her to have so much cash on hand. Obviously they are making things difficult, but there's no way around it.

  While she was worrying, Ji Xin'an took out her wallet from her casual bag and put the money on the deputy director's desk. "Is this enough for you?"

  Those people stared blankly at the money on the table, then looked back at Ji Xin'an.

  "Shall we go now?" Ji Xin'an asked with a smile as they didn't say anything.

  Several people in the room were staring at Ji Xin'an, and the director was certain that they didn't have so much cash on hand. The bank had already closed for the day, and 24-hour ATMs were still hard to find back then. Moreover, someone like Luo Min wouldn't possibly have a bank card. But unexpectedly, this young girl who had just reported for duty actually carried so much cash with her.

  "Of course, since apologies have been made and compensation has been paid, this isn't a big deal. Let's all go back now, you students are all talented individuals, if we delay your return to school, it would be our fault." Deputy Director Wang, having experienced many things, was taken aback for a moment before regaining his composure, but still pretended to show concern for them.

  "Then we'll take our leave." Luo Min said coldly and took Ji Xin'an to pick up the rest of the people.

  When Wang Lan sent them out, she saw that Luo Min's car was too small to hold so many people. "Luo Min, let me drive you back to school."

  "It's okay, thank you this time, Wang Lan." Lu Min didn't forget to thank her even if she was still angry. After all, if it weren't for her, who knows what would have happened this time.

  "Don't be polite to me, but don't blame them too much when you go back, they're still young, and it's not their fault anyway." Wang Lan saw Luo Min's dark face and was a bit worried about the several schoolgirls. She understood Luo Min's personality, although she was protective of her younger siblings, who knows how she would punish them when she got back.

  Luó Mǐn looked at several students who were lowering their heads. Although she was still angry, after hearing Wang Lan's words, she nodded slightly.

  "Sister Xue, thank you so much. If it wasn't for you, we would have definitely failed this exam." Ji Xin'an looked at Wang Lan with gratitude.

  "Thanks, since you called me sister, we're family now. Ji Xin'an, your skills are impressive, let's spar sometime." Wang Lan couldn't believe that such a delicate little girl could instantly subdue a grown man, so she became curious.

  "I'll definitely keep you company." Ji Xin'an smiled, having a very good impression of this senior whom she had just met.

  After saying goodbye to Wang Lan, several people didn't care if it was still time to return to school, and they went back to school. Luo Min took everyone into the office.

  "Tell me, what's going on?" Luo Min sat down at her desk and spoke coldly. She had gone to see Wang Lan as soon as she received the call and had been busy mediating ever since, so she wasn't clear about the details of the situation yet.

  A few people recounted the incident, and Yán Tíngting indignantly said, "This matter is not our fault at all, but that broken police chief actually wants us to apologize. And they call themselves the People's Police? This is how they handle cases, I think they're all miscarriages of justice."

  Several others also spoke out in discontent.

  "Alright, you guys have a good reason for this, don't you?" Luo Min's one sentence made everyone lose their voices. "Look at yourselves, just after starting school and already causing such a big commotion, I've never had to pick someone up from the police station right after the start of school before, it's truly setting a record in the history of our school."

  "We just wanted to go out for a meal, didn't expect anything to happen." Lu Ziyuan had barely finished speaking when Luo Min gave her a cold stare, and she immediately shrank back in fear.

  "Why do you have to run so far to eat, and no matter what, it's your fault first? Is there anything that can only be solved by using force?" Luo Min knew in her heart that they had been wronged, but thinking that just a few people had caused such big trouble at the beginning of the school year, she couldn't help but want to scold them. Fortunately, it didn't make a big deal, otherwise, on the first day of school, there would be so many people in the whole class who would be punished, and it would be lively then.

  "Alright, Luo Min, calm down now that everything has been settled." Pang Kai stepped forward to persuade her.

  Luomin sat down after listening to his words and drank a mouthful of water, no longer speaking.

  "I know you may feel wronged and think it's unfair, but have you thought that Captain Luo knew you were wronged, why did he still handle it this way? It's because if a thorough investigation is conducted, it may be proven that you are right, and there's no need to apologize for something that didn't happen. However, today, no matter what, you can't return to school on time, and the incident will be known by the school. At least one school-wide announcement about your fight outside is unavoidable." Pang Kai said with a smile, looking at several young faces.

  "That can't be right, apologizing to them without distinguishing right from wrong, and on top of that, we're not even at fault but still have to compensate them." Yan Tingting said with some dissatisfaction despite the instructor's gentle tone.

  "You're all university students now, and sometimes you have to look at problems with the mindset of an adult. This result may seem unfair, but it can protect you to the greatest extent, and although you seem to be at a disadvantage, it's far less than the loss you would suffer if things were blown out of proportion. So what's there to feel unjust about?" Pang Kai looked at Yan Tingting, who was pouting, and thought that this girl was straightforward and had a personality like a soldier.

  Yan Tingting was about to say something, but was pulled back by Ji Xin'an, "Instructor, Captain Luo, today's incident is my fault. I was the first to throw a punch, and they followed suit. If you want to blame someone, blame me."

  "No, Captain Luo, it's all because of me. Ji Xin'an was just trying to help me, you can't blame her." Ruo Jia-yi looked up as soon as she heard this.

  Luó Mǐn's anger had dissipated somewhat, and she saw that Róng Jiā Yí had stood up, exchanging a glance with Páng Kǎi.

  "Now that everything has passed, there's no need to recall or criticize who was responsible. But seeing you all consider each other, I think this incident has actually brought you closer together, which is an unexpected gain."

  Ji Xin'an and several others looked at each other, indeed, this experience had brought the few who had just turned from strangers to classmates much closer.

  "Captain Luo, how much did you give them? Since this is all because of me, I'll take it. If it's not enough now, I'll pay the rest back slowly later." Ruo Jia-yi suddenly remembered that besides apologizing, there was also compensation to be made, although the other party was their captain, but he wasn't a family member and didn't have an obligation to pay this sum of money.

  "This money wasn't taken by me, it was given out by Ji Xin'an. If you want to thank someone, you should be thanking Ji Xin'an. I don't have that much cash on me, if Ji Xin'an hadn't taken it out, you wouldn't have been able to come back so quickly." Luo Min looked at Ji Xin'an with some doubt, she had reviewed her file, her parents were ordinary workers, although the family conditions were a bit better, but even if they were supporting her studies abroad, it's unlikely they would give her that much cash to carry around. But now wasn't the time to ask about this, maybe later there would be an opportunity to let Pang Kai understand the situation."

  Several people listened and looked at Ji Xin'an curiously, except for Zou Ze. Ji Xin'an smiled lightly, "Let's not dwell on this issue anymore, it's fine as long as nothing is wrong now."
