It seemed that the girl had lost her nerve, afraid of being exposed at the police station.

The girl grew anxious and after a moment of thought explained, "Actually, it's like this, I've taken a liking to him, and to get close to him, I made up this joke. Please don't be mad, officer sister, I know I've been too willful."
"What? Really?"
Lin Xue looked at the girl's face with disbelief, asking if it was possible for Tang Ming to inspire love at first sight, let alone such crazy behavior. She would never believe it, but now that the person involved insisted it was a joke, what more could she say?
There's an old saying: Without the people's complaint, officials do not investigate. It applied to the current situation as well.
"Officer sister, I'm not lying to you, it really was just a joke,"
