Chapter 163: School Turmoil

Inside Kowloon Tong Police Station, smoke swirled and voices clamored.

The whole police station lobby was filled with students and their parents, some smoking, some chatting, gathered in twos and threes.

Many students were still waiting for police questioning accompanied by their parents.

When Chen Mo arrived, he happened to see a policeman who looked just like Uncle Ying taking a statement from a female student.

Beside the female student stood Shengfan.

"Do you know them? What do they look like? How tall are they? Tell the officer!"

Shengfan kept urging the female student, tapping his fingers impatiently on the table.

"Hey, which of us is the officer?" Officer Ah Hai glared up at Shengfan with dissatisfaction.

"Officer, I'm just trying to help you with my sister!"

"With that attitude, others will mistake you for a cop!"

"Sorry, Officer." Shengfan gave Ah Hai an apologetic smile, then turned and yanked off his sister's wig, angrily saying, "You're still wearing a fake wig—how far have you gotten in your studies?"

"Shengfan!"

"Hey? Mo Ge, how did you come here?" Seeing Chen Mo, Shengfan immediately fawned over and moved closer.

Although they had joined the force together, their positions now were worlds apart.

However, Chen Mo didn't put on airs when facing Shengfan: "Your brother's sister has been brought here. Why are you here? That's your sister, right?"

"Yeah, Mo Ge, my sister studies here. You know the schools in Tuen Mun are terrible. I didn't get much education myself, so I want my sister to study more so she'll have a future."

Although Kowloon Tong's economy was merely average, many major property developers from Hong Kong Island have built numerous residential estates here.

With a large population living here, there are many schools, and the education level is considerably higher than in some remote areas.

"Not bad, you have the bearing of an older brother."

Thanks to Chen Mo's counterfeit goods business and opening a KTV in Tuen Mun, Konglong now has considerably more money, and his underlings live more comfortably than before.

Given the current trend, Shengfan may not necessarily betray Konglong in the future, so Chen Mo temporarily feels no ill will toward him.

"If you want to chat, go somewhere else—I'm taking a statement!"

Officer Ah Hai glanced at the two of them disapprovingly, his tone full of impatience to get them to leave.

Chen Mo smiled, walked up to the officer, and asked, "Officer, my sister Tian Yang En called me, saying she's been brought to your station. Where is she now?"

"Just a moment." Ah Hai ignored Chen Mo and shouted at a nearby officer, "Cunniu, two student guardians have arrived—please attend to them."

"Sure, Brother Hai. Which students' parents are you?"

"Tian Yang En."

"Come with me!"

The officer flipped through a notebook in his hand and led Chen Mo inside the station.

Chen Mo took Sandy's hand behind him and followed the officer.

The three passed through the crowd and a corridor, entering an office.

At that moment, many people in the office were busy taking statements.

At that moment, Tian Yang En was sitting with a father and daughter, while a police officer opposite them was taking a statement.

After several months of school life, Tian Yang En's entire demeanor had changed greatly.

Her clothes had changed from a convenient tight jacket for action to a middle-school uniform jumper dress, and her formerly icy face now showed emotion—she was practically a different person.

"Ah En!"

Chen Mo called out, taking Sandy with him as he walked over.

"Mo Ge, why is it you who came?" Seeing it was Chen Mo, Tian Yang En was startled for a moment, then immediately rose to greet him.

"Your brother is busy, so I brought a lawyer along."

Chen Mo pointed to Sandy beside him: "This is Lawyer Liang; she'll help you with anything."

"Oh, hello, Lawyer Liang." Tian Yang En saw Chen Mo and Sandy holding hands, realizing their relationship was not ordinary.

"Hello, just seeing Sandy is fine."

Sandy smiled and greeted Tian Yang En, then released Chen Mo's hand, walked up to the officer taking the statement, and handed over a business card.

"Officer, I am Liang Guixin, lawyer for Miss Tian Yang En. May I ask what crime she is suspected of?"

The officer, who had been irritated, changed his attitude immediately after glancing at Sandy's business card.

"A big-shot lawyer—not someone to provoke."

"Lawyer Liang, here's what happened: this afternoon at the gate of Southeast Middle School, a triad brawl occurred, resulting in one death, and Miss Tian Yang En was among those who used violence."

"Although that person wasn't killed by Miss Tian Yang En's hand, we still need to take her statement."

Chen Mo raised an eyebrow, looking toward Tian Yang En beside him.

"Ah En, did you strike someone?"

"They were harassing my friend, so I stepped in and beat them up. But what happened afterward is none of my business—he was killed by someone else."

Hearing Tian Yang En say that, Chen Mo completely relaxed.

"It's just a beating—a minor matter; leave it to Sandy."

Although Chen Mo had guessed before coming that today's incident might be unrelated to the earlier Central heist, he never expected it to be such a trivial matter.

He didn't need to do anything—Sandy could settle it.

While Chen Mo and Tian Yang En talked, the officer also explained the full details to Sandy.

It was simply a student who had joined a triad trying to invite Tian Yang En's classmate to a bar for drinks; after being refused, he attempted to forcibly take them, but Tian Yang En beat him up.

Afterwards, several triad members came and beat that student.

The beaten student, furious, drew a knife he carried to seek revenge, but lacking strength, he was counterattacked and killed.

Since the deceased was also a student, the police station attached importance to the incident and brought all students and teachers present back to the station.

Because Tian Yang En had also beaten that student up earlier, she and her classmate have been detained until now.

Officer, strictly speaking, Miss Tian Yang En should be considered as acting bravely in the face of justice, and her actions have no direct relation to the deceased's death. Detaining her like this is unreasonable.

A middle-aged man with a Teochew accent nearby also shouted, "That's right, and my daughter too. She hasn't committed any crime, so why have you guys arrested her for no reason and taken her to the police station?"

Don't be so loud; there are two gangs fighting over your daughter, and someone even died—I'm just conducting routine questioning.

With senior lawyer Sandy present, the police's attitude has improved a lot, and they're no longer as tough as before.

Chen Mo followed the sound and looked over—hey, isn't that Zhu Wanfang, the female lead of School Storm?

"Ah En, is that female student your classmate?"

Yeah, the person I get along with best at school is Ah Fang. Her grades are great, and I ask her about any questions I can't solve.

That's good; from now on, make more friends with good students. As for those little gangsters who hang out with the Triad Society, just ignore them if you can.

Got it, you're just as talkative as big brother! Tian Yang En pursed her lips.

After starting school, Tian Yang En became more and more like an ordinary girl, and she began to rebel.

Sandy's side has finished negotiating with the police, and she walked over to Chen Mo's side, saying, "Mo Ge, the police have settled things on their end. However, they caught someone—uh, they might still need Ah En to come over and help the police identify the suspect."

Chen Mo frowned: "Identify someone? Can we avoid doing that?"

"No." Police Officer Ah Hai then walked over from behind Chen Mo.
