Chapter 674

But now, they had to stand there and watch her walk into the interrogation room. Was this really okay?

Yet young Aurora lifted her hand slightly, signaling them not to act rashly. She was now under the protection of the state–what was there to fear? The ones who should be afraid were those who had done something shameful. With that thought, she stepped forward with even more resolve.

Aurora, watching from the side, felt deeply moved. She didn’t follow her inside.

What came next, she already knew by heart. They would ask questions like what her relationship with Megan was, whether they had provoked those thugs, if she knew them, whether there had been any physical conflict, or if there were any known enemies recently. Most of these questions, young Aurora couldn’t answer clearly. Some, she didn’t even know how to respond to. Because of that, many of her replies came out vague. But the officers didn’t blame her. It was just a routine inquiry, and with so many witnesses at the scene, the facts were already fairly clear.

Later, young Aurora, her expression darkening, added a pointed question: “Officer, when I got there, I saw a camera on the ground. Were those men recording my sister?” Though she asked it casually, every word had been chosen deliberately. She didn’t say Megan was her best friend–she said sister. That way, the police would take the matter more seriously. Sure enough, the moment she said that, the entire room tensed. They had completely overlooked such an important piece of evidence.

The lead officer reached out and gave young Aurora’s hand a grateful shake. “Thank you, young lady. If it weren’t for you, we really might’ve missed that detail.”

Hearing this, Aurora finally smiled. “No need to thank me. We’re all working toward the same goal. They’re bad people. I hope the police won’t go easy on them.”

“Don’t worry. If there are any updates, you’ll be the first to know.”

Only then did young Aurora nod and leave the police station. As soon as she stepped out, the nervous expression she had worn inside vanished completely. The bodyguards were stunned. Aurora could switch faces like that? How had they never noticed before?

Young Aurora looked at them and said, “Alright, take me to the hospital. I want to see Megan.” Now that the thugs had been dealt with, she wanted to spend some time with Megan. She still didn’t know if Megan had woken up or what her condition was. So much time had been wasted outside–Aurora was growing anxious. She had no clear idea what was happening on Megan’s end. So much time had passed, and she was truly worried and upset. With that thought, she urged the driver to go faster.

Aurora had intended to follow along, but just then she spotted someone lurking suspiciously near the police station. Her eyes narrowed sharply. Years of experience told her this man wasn’t just some random bystander. He might very well be the one sent to watch things on behalf of whoever had orchestrated all this.

Without hesitation, Aurora changed direction and walked straight toward him. She got a clear look at his face. She definitely didn’t recognize him.
