Chapter 408: Chapter 398: Fight If We Must, Who’s Afraid?

Ultimately, the Tang Family agreed to mediate and could forgive Xia Enci, but she would need to drop out and return to high school.

That was also the reason why the police went to see Professor Tan.

"But, Enci is not at fault, we won’t compromise," declared He Ling, her tone suddenly changing.

He Zizhou stopped in his tracks and said, "I’ve helped you as much as I can. Otherwise, you’ll just have to prepare for a lawsuit."

"Let’s fight then, who’s scared?"

"But all the existing evidence is extremely unfavorable to Xia Enci."

He Ling: "..."

...

When Jiang Zhe woke up early in the morning, she received a call from Professor Tan.

Over the phone, Professor Tan mentioned the injury report and the evidence.

"What do you think?" he asked.

"Seeing is not necessarily believing, and hearing is even less reliable," said Jiang Zhe. "Professor Tan, I hope you can trust us."

Professor Tan pondered for a moment: "Alright, then I will trust you. But you need to resolve this issue quickly, otherwise... I’m afraid it will really be disadvantageous for Xia Enci, and it won’t be something you or I can handle."

"Don’t worry." Jiang Zhe put away her phone.

Only then did she feel someone embracing her from behind.

Qin Jingchen’s breath was close to her ear.

Jiang Zhe had slept well the previous night and woke up in a good mood, so she half-closed her eyes and didn’t resist his affectionate gesture.

After breakfast, she and Qin Jingchen went to the hospital together.

He Zizhou came up to them and said, "Here is the injury report from the forensic doctor."

"No need to look at it, I’ve seen it already."

He Zizhou took it back and shrugged his shoulders.

Jiang Zhe said, "This afternoon, I’ll send over a separate injury report."

He Zizhou looked slightly surprised.

Xia Enci was already aware that all the evidence and results were against her, and although she forced a smile, her loneliness was unmistakable.

Just now, Jiang Yaowang and Jiang Xiruo had visited, as had Madam Xia and the others.

While everyone believed in her, they also feared the unexpected and were weighing whether to settle or continue with legal procedures.

Xia Enci herself was indecisive as well.

Seeing Jiang Zhe come in, her heart steadied.

She was about to get up to pour water for Jiang Zhe when she realized she still couldn’t get out of bed at all.

"Lie down." Jiang Zhe pressed her down, walked over herself, and poured two glasses of water, one for Xia Enci and one for herself.

Xia Enci felt a bit anxious, now that everyone was undecided, she needed Jiang Zhe’s opinion.

But what if Jiang Zhe’s opinion was the opposite of her own?

For a while, neither of them spoke.

Jiang Zhe put down her glass, checked Xia Enci’s leg, and asked about the condition of her leg.

"It doesn’t hurt at all, does that mean the injury is so severe that there’s no feeling?"

"It’s normal not to feel pain, the treatment I gave you was to avoid pain as much as possible. Just rest well, and you’ll be able to get out of bed and walk soon."

Xia Enci nodded vigorously.

"I have to go now, I’ll come back later."

"Xiaozhe!"

Jiang Zhe turned back.

"Don’t you have anything to tell me?"

Jiang Zhe looked at her: "Rest well, don’t worry needlessly?"

Xia Enci smiled. Although Jiang Zhe hadn’t said much, it felt more effective than many words others might say.

After Jiang Zhe left, Qin Jingchen handed her some fruit.

Only then did Jiang Zhe realize that she hadn’t chewed gum for a long time.

She knew too much gum was bad for the stomach.

But it was hard to avoid when anxious.

Having a substitute is indeed much better.

"I need to make a trip to the forensics department. Will you come with me?" Jiang Zhe asked Qin Jingchen.

Qin Jingchen’s eyes were deep, his lips warm with a gentle color, "Mhm."

...

The doctor was changing the dressing for Tang Xinru.

She groaned in pain.

"Injuries to the muscles and bones take a hundred days to heal; this is just the beginning, so it’s bound to hurt. Bear with it," the doctor said.

Tang Xinru was so pained that she was completely flustered.

Unfortunately, no matter how much she told the police that Jiang Zhe had broken her leg, they didn’t believe her.

Without fingerprints, surveillance, or any eyewitnesses or physical evidence, the police just thought she was too emotionally agitated and deliberately brought up Jiang Zhe’s name on purpose.

After the dressing was changed, Tang Xinru was covered in sweat.

Tang’s mother felt extreme sympathy for her daughter.

Tang Xinru asked, "Did they expel Xia Enci from school yet?"

"They’re still waiting to communicate with Xia Enci," Tang’s mother said, "But no matter what, Xia Enci must face punishment."

Tang Xinru clenched her teeth in secret, "That’s for sure."

Otherwise, wouldn’t all the suffering she endured be in vain?

"Right now we have all the evidence we need, so whether Xia Enci resists or accepts it, she can’t escape punishment. If it weren’t for considering the face of your Uncle He, we wouldn’t have given her the opportunity to even communicate with us in the first place."

Tang’s mother knew that Tang Xinru’s thoughts were with He Ling, and since the two families were old acquaintances, she agreed to mediate to spare He’s father any embarrassment.

"Rest for now, we will just wait for the results."

...

At noon, Xia Enci had just finished lunch.

A group of children rushed in from outside.

"Sister Enci!" Jiang Yunxuan was the first to run in.

Xiaoqi and Fang Ting came too.

Tan Yuheng was also with them.

Xia Enci smiled warmly at them, "Why did you all suddenly come?"

"You hurt your leg, so of course we had to come and see. We also wanted to see who hurt you, we..."

"Shh!" Xia Enci quickly made a silencing gesture, afraid that outsiders would hear and it would cause another dispute.

Jiang Yunxuan quieted down and asked, "Are you feeling better?"

"Much better, don’t worry."

The group of youngsters knew how to show concern, cheering Xia Enci up after staying with her for a while.

They had classes in the afternoon, so He Ling came to take them away.

"I’ll come back later," Jiang Yunxuan said.

Finally, the four children were ushered out.

When Jiang Fanyue’s car arrived, the four of them had just left.

Having heard that Xia Enci was injured, she decided to come and see her.

Whether she could mend her relationship with Jiang Yaowang depended entirely on her own actions.

She immediately took leave from Zhou Yaming, saying she wanted to visit her sister.

Zhou Yaming’s understanding of her family relationships all came from Jiang Fanyue herself. Seeing her so considerate and mindful of family ties, he was deeply moved and granted her leave immediately, telling her to come over quickly.

Jiang Fanyue specially bought fresh flowers and fruits for Xia Enci’s ward.

Xia Enci was planning on taking a nap after lunch, but when she heard the nurse say someone had come to see her, she had to muster up her energy.

Seeing that it was Jiang Fanyue, her face fell.

"Enci, I heard you were injured and I came especially to see you," Jiang Fanyue said as if she didn’t understand Xia Enci’s demeanor, "Are you feeling better now?"

"I’m doing great," Xia Enci replied indifferently.

"How did your leg get hurt so badly?" Jiang Fanyue was surprised to see her entire leg in plaster and bandages.

She had thought the injury wasn’t so serious before she came.
