18 A vulgar has appeared (2/2)

A bunch of information was just thrown at their faces. The reason she was suing them was not at all wrong. They weren't allowed to let unauthorised, especially untrained, people into the investigation. It could've have ended badly, but it didn't.

”If you're so set on it, then fine. We may continue this in the court. I'll see you then!” Renae smiled, her deceitful side completely hidden. Lana smiled back, her smile was instead threatening and gave a sense of danger. Even so, this did not faze Renae. ”I won't go easy on you,” Lana said as she left the room. Lana was quite surprised that even teens like them accepted it so well. She thought they would refute.

”Are you sure about this? You don't know the amount that she might ask for... In the end, the subject was arrested too, so the amount might be big...” the policeman said, giving them an unsure look.

Renae already had a plan. Her smile from before turned into an evil smirk. She quickly explained her plan to them.

”Alright. Since it's also our fault we let you two join the investigation, we'll get you guys a good lawyer. Do you want ur parents to get involved?” The policeman asked as he pulled out his phone. Both Kaiden and Renae shook their heads. ”Thank you, officer. Please don't let our parents know... they'll definitely get worried,” Kaiden thanked gratefully.

The policeman told them to stay for a while and wait for the lawyer he hired to arrive. It took some time, but the lawyer eventually came. ”Hello, my name is Mr Ng,” the lawyer introduced himself. They greeted each other and returned to the original room to continue talking. ”May we discuss the problem and reason that caused the other party to want to sue you?” Mr Ng straightforwardly asked. They agreed and the policeman explained the situation at hand to the lawyer.

”Ah... I see. This might be a little hard to get out of...” Mr Ng said as he sat there, deep in thought. ”Don't worry, we can easily get proof to refute against Lana's statement. All we need is someone to go undercover for us...” Renae cheekily said. Mr Ng was definitely confused. If it was this easy, how come he couldn't figure it out?

They discussed for quite sometime. Renae decided to withhold her plan from Mr Ng until later. The policeman had volunteered to find someone to go undercover for them. Everything so far was going smoothly.

Before they left, Kaiden had to use the toilet. As he entered the bathroom stall, he heard a familiar voice quietly whispering from the stall next to him.

”Renae? Really? And I thought she was smart for having a plan with such a hard problem. She bullied your daughter in school? How can I support her after that? Of course, I'll betray them. Only on the actual day though... it'll definitely trip them up.”

Kaiden heard the voice say. From the start, he had realised it was Mr Ng. Since his first word was 'Renae', Kaiden had started to pay extra attention to each word he said. He was fast to understand what was going on and recorded about 3/4 of their conversation. Who else could be on the other side of the line? Of course, it was Min's mum.

Mr Ng left before Kaiden did. He waited a while to ensure Mr Ng was completely gone before leaving the bathroom.
