Just as I was preparing for the college entrance exam, my childhood sweetheart awakened the Wa-senpa

Chapter 48 Dispute Mediation Room

White and blue are the main colors. A long and wide conference table is placed in the middle, with several office chairs on the left and right sides. There is no one on the left, but a man and a woman are sitting on the right. The man has a bandage wrapped around his forehead and looks helpless. The woman has a strip of cloth rolled up in her hand, her head is down, she is biting her lip, and she is restless.

This is not a meeting room, but the dispute mediation room of Xujiahui Police Station in Xuhui District.

The results were impressive, and they even managed to get the matter to the police station.

"You're both minors, where are your guardians?"

The police officer sitting in the middle coughed lightly and asked.

"I don't have a mother, and my father went to another city and can't come back for the time being," Chen Chen said truthfully.

"I don't want my grandparents to worry," Lin Jianlu said, her voice muffled, looking pitiful.

Seeing the police officer's confusion, she quickly added:

"I have the ability to compensate."

"Hmm..." The police officer glanced at the two men's files and frowned slightly.

These two kids have had a pretty tough life...

"Alright then." The police officer nodded. "Now that everyone's here, let's begin the mediation."

"Where is the other person?" Chen Chen asked, his head wrapped in bandages.

"Here." The police officer took out his phone and made a WeChat call.

"The other party is currently experiencing some psychological trauma related to Ms. Lin, so she is unable to mediate in person and is afraid to speak up. She can only listen to our discussion. I will convey what she wants to express to you through the WeChat messages she sends. Is that alright?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Chen turned to look at the blonde girl beside him, who bit her lip and awkwardly turned her face away.

"Okay, then let me first review what happened yesterday."

"Yesterday afternoon, you and your group of four were shopping at a mall in Xujiahui when you saw a pop-up event for a mobile game. Mr. Chen and another person in his group went over to join in. There, you met an acquaintance, Ms. Akashi Mio, who was one of the cosplayers participating in the flash mob. She was wearing a cosplay outfit and carrying a large sword from the game as a prop. Is there anything wrong with that?"

Chen Chen shook his head, while the message on WeChat read "そうです".

The police officer nodded and continued speaking:

"Mr. Chen and Ms. Akashi had some minor disagreements in the past, so a verbal altercation inevitably occurred during this meeting, but it didn't escalate to a physical fight. After the argument, they went their separate ways. Is there anything wrong with that?"

Both parties agreed.

"But at this moment, Mr. Chen became interested in the greatsword that Ms. Akashi carried with her, and he followed behind her to observe it."

At this point, the police officer glanced at Chen Chen, his eyes filled with confusion.

"I mainly wanted to take a closer look and see if the sword was made of iron," Chen Chen quickly explained.

"Ms. Akashi quickly realized someone was behind her and, sensing she was being followed, instinctively turned around. The large iron sword she carried on her back then struck Mr. Chen directly on the forehead, causing injury and bleeding..."

At this point, Chen Chen subconsciously rubbed his forehead and received a kick from the blonde girl next to him, who grumbled as she did so.

Why are you blindly following them?

The police officer coughed and continued his story.

"Mr. Chen fainted on the spot. When Ms. Lin arrived, she was furious upon seeing Mr. Chen's condition. Without asking for the reason, she dragged Ms. Ming Shi, who was still confused, into the fire escape, pinned her down, and punched and kicked her, causing multiple swellings and bruises on her face. Medical personnel later determined that the injuries were minor."

"Um..." Lin Jianlu weakly raised her hand, "No... I didn't kick."

The police officer glanced at her hand, saw that it was swollen and wrapped in bandages, sighed, and nodded.

"Okay, I understand."

Chen Chen leaned close to Lin Jianlu's ear and said, "Whether you were kicked or not, as long as the injury is classified as minor, you won't go to jail."

"Oh—" The girl's eyes lit up instantly.

"But there's still a possibility of being detained."

"Ah..." The girl lowered her head again.

"However, as long as we negotiate well and obtain the other party's forgiveness, there is a high probability that we will not be detained."

"Huh?!" The girl looked up abruptly.

"But judging from the severity of the beating you gave her, it's very likely she won't forgive you..."

"Ugh..." The girl covered her face and let out a low moan.

"But who knows? After all, I'm quite familiar with her."

"Huh?" The girl quickly lowered her hand, looked at Chen Chen, her eyes brimming with tears, filled with hope and pleading.

"However, she has never had a good impression of me. Last time, she even came to the school to cause trouble for me."

"Gulp..." The girl swallowed hard, lay back on her seat, and her heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally snapped and died.

The police officer glanced at the two injured people, then looked at the selfie that Akashi Mio sent from the hospital. Her face was covered in bruises, her eyes were swollen as if she had been stung by a wasp, and her squinting eyes were filled with tears. She was so aggrieved that even the message she sent was "I don't want to stay in China anymore."

For a girl to beat someone up like that, you really have to be strong.

Police retrieved Akashi Mio's personal information, which showed that she was the child of transnational parents. Two years ago, her parents divorced, and she returned to China with her mother. Due to her good looks and the complicated procedures for enrolling in a foreign university, she was unable to attend school and instead became a full-time cosplayer in China, frequently attending various anime conventions.

Seeing this, the police officer couldn't help but glance at Lin Jianlu again and sighed inwardly.

He's a professional cosplayer who makes a living off his looks. You've beaten him up like that. How much compensation do you expect to pay him to be satisfied?

The rope always breaks at its thinnest point...

"Alright, we have clearly stated the basic facts. Now, as a police officer, it is necessary for me to criticize the mistakes you have made."

The police officer tapped on the table, his voice serious and earnest.

"First, Ms. Akashi Mio, according to Article 32 of the Public Security Administration Punishment Law: Anyone who illegally carries controlled instruments into a public place or public transportation vehicle shall be detained for not less than five days but not more than ten days and may also be fined not more than 500 yuan."

Your greatsword is made of metal and is over 1.2 meters long. Although it is not sharpened, the tip is sharp and it is relatively heavy, possessing a certain degree of lethality. It meets the standards for controlled knives.

Carrying such a prop into crowded areas, especially shopping malls, shows a complete lack of concern for your own and others' safety!

This collision with Mr. Chen Chen's head has been a painful lesson! Therefore, I am issuing you this serious criticism! Do you understand your mistake?

After a pause, a wronged voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Wrong, I understand, I'm so sorry... I'm very sorry..."

"Pfft..."

Where did that colonel's accent come from? Lin Jianlu, who was still on tenterhooks, couldn't hold back and blurted it out when she heard this.

"What are you laughing at!" The police officer slammed his fist on the table. "You still have the nerve to laugh? You're next!"

Lin Jianlu immediately wilted.
