Meanwhile, under the harsh stick discipline of Jia Dongxu, Banggen had calmed down a lot during this time, no longer as arrogant and domineering as before. Especially seeing the police present at the scene, he was so terrified like a startled rabbit, burying his face deep into Qin Huairu's arms without even daring to let out a loud breath.

At this moment, though he was lying in bed, he could hear the commotion outside crystal clear. Yet he simply didn't dare to step out, terrified that the moment he showed his face, the police would haul him away.
