Fifteen minutes later, the sound of sirens could be heard in the distance.
Before long, two police cars arrived.
The police cars stopped, and several uniformed police officers emerged.
One of the officers asked, "Who called the police?"
Ming Li put down the wine glass in her hand, stood up, and replied, "I did."
The officer then asked, "Where is the person?"
Ming Li tilted her chin, gesturing for the officer to look at the ground.
The officer understood Ming Li's implied meaning and looked down.
Officer: "......?!" His eye twitched violently.
This...
Were these pathetic figures sprawled on the ground really the ones who had been harassing the woman according to the report? They looked so miserable!
Seeing the police arrive, the burly men lying on the ground like corpses felt as if they had seen saviors. With snot and tears smeared all over their faces, they cried out, "Officer! Help us quickly! This woman is not human! She's too brutal! Look at what she's done to us brothers?!"
The officer's mouth twitched, and his gaze shifted to Ming Li, who was standing by, nonchalantly observing the scene.
Ming Li met the officer's gaze, shrugged, and said faintly, "It was self-defense."
Officer: "......?!" He looked at Ming Li with suspicion. "Are you sure?!"
The wailing men on the ground: "......?! I don't believe you for a second!"
One of the burly men, filled with indignation, shouted at Ming Li, "Woman, lying will get you struck by lightning!"
Upon hearing this, Ming Li glanced at the dark sky, then looked at him calmly and asked, "Do you think it dares to strike?"
The burly man: "......?! I was just speaking my mind, how would I know?!"
At this moment, a young man standing beside the police officers could no longer stand it. He stood up from his seat, took out his phone, and said to the police, "Officer, he's lying! I have evidence!"
The officer, who was being called "uncle" by a high school student at just over twenty years old: "......?! Internally, he grumbled furiously, *You have evidence, fine, but why are you calling me uncle?! Do I look that old? Perhaps I haven't been drinking red dates and goji berries recently, and that's why I've become haggard?!*
*Ahem, ahem!* Recalling his thoughts, the officer coughed lightly and looked at the young man who had spoken. He said, "Since you say you have evidence, where is it?"
The young man stepped forward, tapped on his phone to open a video, and then handed the phone to the officer.
The officer took the phone and started watching.
After a while, the officer finished watching the video, brought the phone in front of the burly man, turned the screen towards him, and asked, "What do you have to say for yourself now?"
The burly man glanced at the phone screen. The video playing showed another burly man grabbing a young woman and insisting she join them for drinks.
The burly man swallowed hard, then said to the officer righteously, "But it's a fact that this woman beat us! This video is ironclad proof!"
Upon hearing this, the young man said, "As I just said, our teacher was acting in self-defense!" After thinking for a moment, the young man added, "At most... at most it was excessive self-defense!"
The burly man and his companions: "......?! What?! Young man, doesn't your conscience hurt saying that?!"
Beside them, Ming Li nodded approvingly. *As expected of the student I taught!*
The system in the space: "......?! It silently rolled its eyes, having nothing more to say..."
