Liu Ru Yan's face flashed with a hint of displeasure as she said lightly, "They're just worrying for nothing."
Just as Chen Yu settled onto the sofa, Duan Xia handed him a cup of honey lemon water. "Chen Yu, isn't this your favorite? I bought it specially for you and kept it in the fridge."
Leaning back on the sofa with a half-smile, Chen Yu replied, "How strange. Are you being overly nice to me today? If there's something, just say it."
Duan Xia exchanged a glance with Liu Ru Yan before smiling and speaking up. "Actually, it's nothing major. This afternoon, Xiao Jiba injured someone named Shi Lezhi and now he's in the hospital. Xiao Jiba is only in his twenties; if the police catch wind of this, he could end up in jail."
"Besides, you still have four or five months until you're an adult. Why don't you take the fall for him?" Chen Yu widened his eyes, feigning disbelief.
"What are you talking about, Mom? Who's your real son here? You want your own son to go to jail? With that kind of talk, I might as well drag you for a paternity test tomorrow."
Liu Ru Yan raised an eyebrow. "Chen Yu, don’t you understand? As a minor, if you go to the police station, you'll just get a reprimand at most. It's a trivial matter. As Xiao Jiba's good brother, can't you lend him a hand? Don't you have any sense of responsibility? Are you even a man?"
Hearing Liu Ru Yan say this, Chen Yu burst into laughter. "If I were the one who made the mistake, I'd take responsibility without question. But why should I be blamed for something I didn't do? Your logic is amusing—if I don't take responsibility, I'm not a man? What about Xiao Jiba?"
"Besides, even if I wanted to take the blame, I'm not like him. He's got yellow hair; I don’t."
Duan Xia quickly interjected, "You don't need to worry about that. I'll just give you a buzz cut; Xiao Jiba is already bald."
Chen Yu scoffed. "You guys really put in a lot of effort. Even if you begged me today, I wouldn't do it. I'm planning to attend a prestigious university this year; my beautiful life is just beginning. If I end up in jail, are you going to let Xiao Jiba take my place at university?"
"Isn't he stealing my wonderful life?"
As he spoke, Chen Yu stood up and headed towards his bedroom when Liu Ru Yan stopped him.
"Wait! You think you can just refuse? I'll report you for harassment and attempt to rape me. You better think carefully about this—helping out means we owe you one. If rumors spread about sexual harassment or rape, do you think that prestigious university will still want someone like you?"
Chen Yu frowned and looked at Duan Xia. "Mom, did you hear the nonsense he just said?"
Duan Xia's expression shifted slightly. "Son, just help out this once."
Feigning realization, Chen Yu said, "Oh, so this was all planned out by you two? Haha, what a good mother you are—colluding with this scoundrel to frame me."
Duan Xia's face darkened. "When the police arrive and I testify as your mother, do you think they'll believe you?"
Chen Yu let out a cold laugh.
"Believe it? Of course, I do. Go ahead and accuse me of rape; I'm not afraid."
He shot a fierce glare at Liu Ru Yan.
"With someone like you, do you really think I would want to rape you? It’s simply laughable, ha ha."
Fuming, Liu Ru Yan raised her hand to slap him, but Chen Yu dodged.
Liu Ru Yan stomped her feet in frustration.
"Chen Yu, don’t you have any responsibility? You paired up with Brother Jiba; how did you lead him? This is how you brought him down the wrong path? The reason he’s in this situation is entirely because you didn’t teach him properly."
"Ah, right, right, right, whatever you say goes."
Chen Yu sneered sarcastically and was about to head back to his room.
Duan Xia spoke coldly.
"Chen Yu, do you really think I can’t do anything to you? We called the police as soon as you came back. As long as I say you're Xiao Jiba, then right now, you are Xiao Jiba."
Chen Yu turned his head to glance back.
He gave a thumbs-up.
"666, impressive! Impressive!"
Then he turned around and returned to his bedroom, slamming the door shut with a bang.
Duan Xia and Liu Ru Yan exchanged glances; Chen Yu's nonchalant attitude infuriated them and left them bewildered.
"I feel like he’s completely fearless," Liu Ru Yan said worriedly.
Duan Xia smirked slightly.
"It’s fine; as long as he doesn’t run away."
Lying on his bed, Chen Yu recalled the plot from his previous life.
According to the storyline, the original owner, who had been shaved bald, was taken to the hospital.
Shi Lezhi had been beaten so badly that his face was bruised and swollen; it was already difficult for him to open his eyes even a little.
Moreover, since the original owner looked quite similar to Xiao Jiba, in his blurred vision, he mistakenly identified the original owner.
But things were different now; Chen Yu wouldn’t just comply obediently.
He took out his phone and sent a message to Su Youwei via Daxin, explaining his current situation.
Su Youwei read it with righteous indignation and asked Chen Yu to send his location, saying she would arrive soon and told him not to be afraid.
Before long, Hat Uncle showed up at the door; Duan Xia pointed toward Chen Yu's bedroom.
"He’s in there; he’s occupying my son Chen Yu's room and trying to impersonate my son to hide away. They look alike and want to smear my son’s name."
Hat Uncle thought the door was locked and tried twisting the doorknob but found that it opened easily instead.
Chen Yu lay on the bed, listening to a beautiful woman tell a story.
"Please, no~ Brother~ Don't~ Where can't I go~ Really can't~"
Hearing the voice, Chen Yu turned his head and locked eyes with Hat Uncle.
"Are you Xiao Jiba?"
Chen Yu sighed lightly.
"No, I'm Chen Yu."
"Hmph, it doesn't matter whether you are or not. Hurry up and get up, come back with us for some tea. We'll get to the bottom of this."
Chen Yu replied helplessly, "Fine."
He stood up slowly, putting on his coat and socks.
"Hey, kid, can you hurry up? Stop dragging your feet."
Duan Xia wore a worried expression.
"Hat Uncle, my son still doesn't know where he was taken. You have to help me bring him back!"
Hat Uncle nodded.
"Don't worry."
At that moment, Su Youwei entered with several colleagues in uniform, leaving the door wide open.
Hat Uncle looked surprised at their arrival.
"Aren't you traffic police? Now you're handling criminal cases too?"
Su Youwei smiled sweetly and patiently explained, "You've misunderstood. Criminal cases are definitely not within our jurisdiction. We're here to vouch for this handsome guy; he was volunteering at the intersection this afternoon. My colleagues and I can testify for him."
"The person in front of you is Chen Yu, not Xiao Jiba. If you don't believe us, you can check the mall's surveillance footage. We had a meal together before parting ways; there are cameras in the restaurant too. Right after Chen Yu got home, he messaged me for help, which is why my colleagues and I came over."
Hat Uncle was taken aback.
"But this was reported by Chen Yu's mother. Wouldn't she recognize her own son?"
