The girl in the pale yellow dress immediately turned around upon hearing this, her eyes filled with anger at being betrayed, "Aren't we sisters?"

"But my family situation is different from yours. If my family finds out I was taken to the police station, I might be beaten to death," the girl in the pink dress lowered her eyes, biting her lip as she spoke.

"Fine, if you dare to leave me here alone today, then we're not sisters anymore, and I won't have you in the group chat. Don't beg me later," said the girl in the pale yellow dress, pointing at the nose of the girl in pink.

"If you don't want me, then so be it. Do you think I care?" the girl in pink gritted her teeth, pushed away the hand of the other girl, pushed through her friends, and ran off.

"If any of you want to leave, you can go now, but don't think about coming back after leaving. I won't accept anyone who betrays me." The girl's words were overly dramatic, but for some reason, no one else really left.

The two groups stood facing each other, waiting for the police to arrive. The police station wasn't far from the scenic spot, so it didn't take long for them to arrive. They packed both groups into the police cars and took them to the station. Considering the young age of the other party, the police notified their parents, intending to take statements when they arrived.

On Xu Ke's side, except for Yu Xia, everyone else was an adult. And since Xu Ke and Lin Mengyao were her guardians, they gave statements first. The young man who took photos also gave his statement as a witness.

"You say her clothes are worth a million, do you have any evidence?" The officer taking notes couldn't help but be skeptical upon hearing that the seemingly ordinary dress was worth such a price. Although Xu Ke and Lin Mengyao looked like they weren't ordinary people, police need evidence to back such claims, not just words.

"Of course, there's evidence." Yu Xia nodded, providing proof of purchase, as well as the name of the studio and the person in charge.

One officer poured a cup of warm water for each of the three, while another went to verify the accuracy of the information.

Because Yu Xia's evidence was quite comprehensive, the other officer quickly returned. As soon as he entered the room, he couldn't help but glance at Yu Xia.

"Is it true?" his colleague asked cautiously.

The officer nodded and whispered in his colleague's ear, "A hundred and twenty thousand."

"Whoa, no way." The colleague's jaw dropped as if he could swallow a cow, his eyes bulging.

"A hundred and twenty thousand. It's like wearing half a house on your body," the colleague murmured softly as he repositioned his jaw.

While the two were discussing the worth of Yu Xia's dress, the parents of the other party arrived.

The parents immediately locked onto their children, lovingly wrapping them in their embrace.

"What did our kid do wrong to be brought to the police station?"

"Our kid is known as a well-behaved child in the neighborhood. Did you make a mistake?"

"Our child couldn't have done anything wrong. Did you arrest the wrong person? I want to take our child home."

As soon as the parents arrived, the previously quiet police station turned chaotic like a marketplace, their chatter overwhelming the staff's minds.

"Everyone, please quiet down and listen to me," one officer shouted loudly, managing to just about drown out the parents' voices and bring some calm.

"Here's what happened." The young officer quickly explained the situation in a few sentences and then took a sip of water before continuing, "Now that their statements have been taken and you, as their guardians, are here, I need to take statements from your children. Please remain quiet on the side."

"I'm just saying, officer, do we really need to have our kid come to the police station over something this trivial? I mean, a dress worth a million? Why don't they just claim the thing on their head is worth tens of millions?" The parent hugging the girl in the pale yellow dress gestured to the hairpin on Yu Xia's head.

"Although it's not worth tens of millions, it's close," Xu Ke calmly replied, glancing at the hairpin on Yu Xia's head, leaving the woman at a loss for words.

"Did you hear that? They're just inflating prices," the woman accused, pointing at Xu Ke.

But knowing Yu Xia's dress alone was worth a million, the police looked at her with a whole new level of disbelief. They didn't think Xu Ke was lying; they were just overwhelmed by shock, unable to fathom what kind of family allowed their child to step out covered in items worth millions, doted on to such an extent.

"Whether they're inflating prices, we'll determine. For now, we need your cooperation to take statements quickly, okay?" said the police officer, maintaining a good-natured tone,

"Please hurry up. It's getting late, and we need to get home soon. Our kids can't go to bed too late," the woman said, throwing a sharp look at Xu Ke.

"Don't worry. We know it's late, and we'll be quick with just a few simple questions," the officer said, glancing at the time. A few other officers who were free quickly stepped forward, organizing the process to take statements efficiently.

Probably not believing the dress Yu Xia wore was worth millions, the girls honestly recounted everything they saw, including the girl in the pale yellow dress admitting to cutting Yu Xia's dress.

"Officer, I just ruined her dress. Nobody got hurt. The worst thing was hurling a couple of insults at her. It's not like she lost a limb. Besides, it wasn't entirely my fault. If she hadn't worn a fake, I wouldn't have confronted her. I was just defending our traditional culture, like the spirit of Lei Feng. You can't put me in jail for that, right?" the girl in the pale yellow dress pouted as she spoke.

"Well, defending traditional culture is a good intention, but that's not how you do it. You can't just confront someone and insult them for that reason. The spirit of Lei Feng and righteous actions don't apply here. What you did constitutes harassment. The last point: once you've compensated the victim and gained their forgiveness, you can leave," the officer said as he gathered his notes.
