The matter with Ruo Tingran quickly spread to the whole school. Xu Binchen and Ru Meiqi had been closely monitoring the case, thus as soon as they received Shi Nian's recording, action was immediately taken to inflict punishment for the culprit. Even Ruo Tingran's parents were informed.
Her crime was neither light nor insignificant. She had got into contact with the people from the mafia and it was expected that this wasn't their first cooperation. The police wanted to seize this opportunity to catch them in the act. Convicting Ruo Tingran was equal to holding one of the mafia's weaknesses in their hands.
On the other hand, Ruo Family used all of their resources and network to resist vehemently. The Police Bureau's higher ups were alarmed by this matter. The tension between both sides was thick and tense, neither seemed to have any intention of backing down.
