The door of our room was kicked down from outside. Ah! Mai Qi screamed in fear. I was disrupted from my thoughts. Mai Qi huddled towards me. I stood up and blocked her behind me.
“This is a raid! Show us your ID!” 7 policemen stormed into the room. They had solemn faces and fierce eyes. They didn’t go easy on us because we were 2 girls under 20.
Before I could react, one of the officers hit my arm with his baton. “Quickly!”
My anger burned and I retorted. “Am I a criminal? How can you assault me?”
The officer was in his thirties. He had a pair of particularly malicious eyes. He looked at me and sneered. “Girlie you have a bad temper. If you don’t cooperate, I’ll sue you for assaulting a police officer!”
I stood my ground. “I didn’t even move an inch, how does that count as an assault?”
“That’s my shot to call, not yours.” He glared at me. He hit my laptop with his baton. “Confiscate this laptop. Perhaps it has criminal evidence. Two girls coming to a nightclub, what good thing can they be doing?”
I challenged. “Why can’t 2 girls frequent a nightclub?”
As the officer behind him packed up my laptop, the man said, “We suspect you two are conducting illegal business here. Cuff them!”
“This is too much! We haven’t even done anything! I’m going to call my mother to lodge a complaint against you!” Mai Qi’s face was red from fury.
“Hah! Calling your mother and letting her know you’ve come to a place like this? Regardless, you are a law-breaker, no one can save you. Take them away!” Mai Qi’s phone was snatched away by the man.
“What are you doing?!” Mai Qi teared up from anger.
“Mai Qi, calm down. We’ll go with them.” I looked at the gloating officer and comforted Mai Qi. Mai Qi wanted to say something else but I shook my head at her. “We’re here to have fun. Let’s not say anything more. We’ll just follow these officers.” I looked at the man and smiled. “Let’s see how long they can keep us locked up.”
Mai Qi got my meaning. She raised her chin. “Okay, I would like to see the inside of a detention cell anyway.”
I smiled. Mai Qi was truly a princess.
As we walked out of the room, we saw the people next door were being led out as well. Of course, all the government officials were gone. There were only Ye Qian, Jing Ning, and Nanyang.
Nanyang was crying, Ye Qian was calm and Jing Ning looked angry.
Ye Qian looked at Mai Qi in shock. “Mai Qi, what are you doing here?”
Mai Qi said proudly, “I’m here to experience the nightlife, to broaden my horizon. I have to say, I have indeed seen a lot tonight!”
Ye Qian turned to me with reproach. “Nanxing, you’ve crossed the line this time! How can you bring Mai Qi to a place like this? You…”
“Sister Ye Qian, it was me who brought Nanxing with me! You shouldn’t blame her!” Mai Qi cut her off.
Nanyang suddenly said, “Nanxing, when your little uncle come to fetch you, can you bring me along? I can’t let our parents know about this.” Her voice was full of pleading.
She had never begged me before.
I smiled and shrugged. “But my little uncle isn’t home.”
“Then, then, whenever you got picked up, can you help your big sister as well?” Her tears fell hard. She was really in a quandary this time.
I glanced at Jing Ning. “Sister, why are you so worried? You’re here with Young Master Ning, right? Naturally, the Jing Family will come to fetch you, they’re more powerful than I am. Don’t worry, Young Master Jing will not leave you behind. Without you, who is going to help him?”
Then I turned and walked away.
Mai Qi strode ahead with heroic steps. She was ready to die a martyr’s death. Seeing this, I couldn’t help but laugh.
The malicious officer pushed me from behind. I staggered and almost fell. After I stabilized myself, I turned around and looked at him. I uttered, “You are a shame to your uniform.”
I swore that if I didn’t get him removed from the force, I would retire from Sky City! I would even change my name to something else!
Mai Qi also glared at him.
I mouthed to her to not say anything. She nodded.
I smiled.
Who would have thought the show would have an epilogue! This is so worth it!
