Chapter 583: 229 detained an ancestor_1

Shun Yu held the receiver in his left hand and dialed a string of numbers directly with his right.

Although he had only seen it once, he remembered Bai Lian’s number and didn’t need to look it up deliberately.

The phone rang several times, but no one answered.

Beside him, the dean of the Chinese department sat back down, picked up his now-cold tea, and stared at Shun Yu without blinking.

The call disconnected automatically.

If Bai Lian were in the library, Shun Yu could understand an automatic disconnect due to silence mode, but she had already said she was coming to the university, so he put the receiver back on the cradle.

It was a bit strange.

Guessing that Bai Lian might be close to arriving, Shun Yu waited for a while before looking up at the dean of the Chinese department, “Dean Shu, Bai Lian wants to test into the Tongfeng class.”

Dean Shu had very short hair and sat there exuding a scholarly elegance that seemed to calm the passage of time.

Upon hearing Shun Yu’s words, he put down his tea cup and said, “I know.”

The dean did not say anything else.

Shun Yu had communicated with Bai Lian’s homeroom teacher and knew that Bai Lian was an extremely studious and respectful student after interacting with her twice.

Speaking with Bai Lian was truly comfortable, with a gentlemanly demeanor and a humility that was self-cultivating.

Shun Yu felt that she must have been influenced by great literary figures in her childhood, as this kind of cultural sophistication wasn’t possessed by just anyone. However, he also wondered which reclusive literary figure from Xiangcheng was responsible for it.

Dean Shu looking for Bai Lian did not surprise Shun Yu.

There was only one perfect-score essay this year, and he was sure the dean knew who wrote it.

Unfortunately, it was Bai Lian who wrote that essay. If it had been any other student with average grades, Dean Shu would have gone out of his way to admit the student to Jiang University’s Chinese department.

Concerned about Bai Lian, Shun Yu reached out to redial her number. This time, after two rings, the call was hung up.

His usual impassive expression vanished, and he looked down at the phone for several seconds before pressing the redial—

“Hello, the number you have dialed is now switched off…”

This time it went straight to voicemail. Shun Yu stood up and put the receiver down.

“What’s wrong?” Dean Shu saw his uneasy expression.

“Her phone has been switched off by someone,” Shun Yu said, his face growing dark as he took out his own phone.

It had been switched off by someone, not her.

**

In Yunxiao District, at the police station.

The man in charge of the case turned off the continuously ringing mobile phone, resting his hand on the table, “I wouldn’t have guessed, you really hit hard.”

He had already ascertained that this girl was not from Jiangjing and that she had only a single grandparent at home.

Bai Lian glanced at him and ignored his comment, just looking at the turned-off mobile phone.

The internal line rang, and he stood up to answer it outside.

The policewoman who took over came in and sat across from Bai Lian, continuing the interrogation.

She looked down at the written record, then raised her head to look at the girl opposite her, “Do you have anything to add? Was it really you who hit her?”

The girl opposite propped her chin with her hand, her black hair meticulously tied up, dressed in snow-white attire, her eyes cold and dark.

She didn’t seem to be in a good mood.

Although both parties had already accused her of the assault, the policewoman still found it hard to believe upon seeing her.

“Yes,” Bai Lian admitted without denial.

The policewoman hesitated to speak, but eventually pulled out a piece of paper for Bai Lian to fill out her information.

Bai Lian took it, glanced down briefly, and filled in her name, phone number, and Jiangjing address.

Her handwriting was neat and beautiful, making the policewoman increasingly feel that she was not the sort to attack someone.

After writing everything down, Bai Lian looked up at the nameplate in front of the policewoman, “… Officer Sun, how is my friend doing?”

“She’s been taken to the hospital. Don’t worry,” Officer Sun was experienced, pausing before continuing, “We’re waiting for her follow-up medical report. However… you should try to resolve this peacefully with them.”

In Jiangjing, Sun had met all sorts of people and understood the situation as soon as she saw Xu Zhiyue; she grasped what kind of scenario this was.

Yet, she found it incredible to believe the level of force this girl before her was capable of.

The interrogation room was bugged, so Officer Sun couldn’t reveal too much and only subtly hinted to Bai Lian that the person she had hit was not to be trifled with.

In Jiangjing, gold could be found everywhere, and one had to tread carefully not to stumble upon it.

Bai Lian’s information had been recorded when she was in the police car.

Not a local, and it seemed her family wasn’t well connected. Faced with the wealthy youths of Jiangjing, Officer Sun felt overwhelmed.

“May I have my phone, please?” Bai Lian’s gaze fell on the mobile phone next to Officer Sun.

The mobile phone was supposed to be confiscated after entering the interrogation room.

Officer Sun looked at Bai Lian and hesitated for a moment, “Tell me who to contact, and I’ll help you.”

She pressed the power button to turn on the phone.
