Title: My Son Might Be A Villain

Chapter 22 - Local Police Station (1)
When Su Ran rushed to the police station, the first thing she saw was Su Han. His head was lowered, and he was leaning against a corner wall.
The teenager was wearing ragged clothing. He was dirty from top to bottom. His hair was a bit messy too. However, the cold and merciless look on his face - had he inherited that from his unknown father or was it from a gene mutation - made him look less like a bedraggled puppy.
Noticing that someone was looking at him, Su Han accurately pinpointed that position and looked over. The moment that he saw that his observer was Su Ran, a flash of rarely seen surprise and barely perceptible panic appeared over his stubborn and calm face.
However, Su Han quickly wiped the emotions off his face and lowered his head.
"Are you Su Han's guardian?"
"Yes."
"She isn't."
Hearing that question, Su Han and Su Ran answered at the same time.
"She's not my guardian. I don't recognize that woman," Su Han coldly said. There was undisguised rejection in his eyes.
The police officer glanced at Su Han and said, "This looks right."
"Officer, may I ask about the dispute you mentioned on the phone..."
Before the police officer could speak, a burly man in his fifties jumped up. Pointing at Su Han, he angrily said, "What dispute? Your son clearly stole money from my store when he was working there. He started a fight too."
However, the moment the hot pot restaurant owner saw Su Ran turning around, he was stunned.
OMG, if he hadn't just heard this woman and the police officer speaking, he would have thought she was a celebrity.
However, the hot pot restaurant owner's attention quickly returned to his financial loss. He aggressively strode over and loomed over Su Ran.
"Sit down! This is the police station. If you have something to say, say it properly," the police officer berated.
The hot pot restaurant owner immediately stopped blustering and sat back down.
The hot pot restaurant owner coughed to clear his throat, then he said, "Here's what happened. I had $500 stored in the store's cabinet. Before I had time to deposit the money in the bank, the money disappeared. That kid stole the money."
Su Han had been silent this entire time, but when he heard the word "stole", he shouted, "I didn't steal!" The glare he cast at the man was so chilly that the restaurant owner actually shivered.
"Y-you, you brat. Try to stare at me again. We're at the police station. Don't you dare act up here." Soon after, he pointed at Su Ran and said, "Are you this brat's mom? Tell me how you're going to fix this."
"He said he didn't steal it."
"He said? Are his words proof? Where's your evidence? I'm saying he stole my money!"
Su Ran furrowed her brow. Looking up, she retorted, "Then, do you have proof?"
This type of quarreling was really annoying, ah. It really made her miss her adorable, little assistants that would have handled this for her.
"I don't have evidence, but..."
"Since you don't have evidence, who gave you the courage to act as if justice is on your side?"
"Also, Su Han is a minor. What is he doing in your restaurant?"
"He.... He looked pitiful and didn't have a place to stay, so I let him stay in my restaurant!"
"Officer, really, I was just giving this kid a place to live."
"Are you saying you're a philanthropist?"
"You! You! Fine, I'll just consider myself unlucky that someone stole my money. But, you can't weasel out of the fact that he broke stuff in my restaurant. There's a video recording in my restaurant."
"He broke stuff in your shop and you already beat him up too, right?" When Su Han had raised his head earlier, Su Ran saw that Su Han wasn't just dirty. The corners of his lips and eyes and his forehead were bruised.
Even if she hadn't given birth to this son, seeing that previously handsome face full of bruises, Su Ran would feel distressed for him.
"That's considered injured? A few of my employees are lying in the hospital right now because of him! Are you going to try to weasel out of responsibility after your son hits other people?" The hot pot restaurant owner jumped out of his seat again.
"Isn't this just a matter of money? What are you getting so excited for?"
"Right, it is just a matter of money. Tell me, how much do you plan on paying me in compensation."
"I'm broke." When Su Ran said those words, the police officer almost cracked a smile. How could she say that she was broke with such self-confidence and boldness?
Even Su Han had to press his lips together more forcefully after he heard her reply.
When the police officer was calling to inform his guardian, he hadn't thought that woman, who had never showed him any concern, would actually come.
However, not only had she come, she was arguing with his boss.
He did believe her when she said that she was broke. After all, with the speed that this woman spent her money...
