Their main headache, however, was dealing with the child.
Technically, the child's actions already constituted attempted murder.
But Jian Sheng knew the child was right; a slingshot normally couldn't penetrate a glass wall, at most leaving a slight mark.
As the primary victim, and with Jian Sheng displaying a clear and rational mind, the others ultimately left the decision to the young girl.
Jian Sheng thought for a moment and asked for the surveillance footage from the cafe to be retrieved.
"Officer, please calculate the speed of this stone after it entered the cafe and the force with which it hit the potted plant. Then, assume if I hadn't dodged it at the scene, what kind of injury I would have sustained."
The police, with the aid of their information processing system, quickly obtained the results after inputting the data into the formulas.
Seeing the displayed answer, everyone fell silent for a moment.
At that speed and kinetic energy, the stone was capable of penetrating an adult's skull.
If the young girl hadn't dodged, they couldn't imagine what the outcome would have been.
The child's mother, upon seeing the surveillance footage and the information processing results, was also directly terrified.
Jian Sheng said, "Officer, please educate this auntie on the consequences for a minor being incited to attempted murder."
The child's mother immediately became flustered, tears welling up in her eyes in genuine distress.
Although she didn't know the exact consequences, just hearing the charge made her realize that even a child might end up with a stain on their record.
Ignoring the mother's distress, Jian Sheng whispered to a police officer, "Officer, it would be enough to just provide an explanation and a verbal warning. Then, have this auntie compensate the cafe manager for the losses, and let them leave. I believe after this, they will learn their lesson."
The officer was stunned by the words coming from such a tiny person.
He looked at Li Sheng, then reported the young girl's suggestion to his superior. The superior glanced at the group and nodded.
Cases involving minors were already difficult to handle. Since Jian Sheng, the victim, was not pressing charges, and with a member of the special department like Li Sheng present, they were willing to show courtesy and handle it as the young girl suggested.
--- 666 It really is up to our Sheng Bao. This method of handling it is so satisfying, they deserved to be scared, this bunch of bratty kids and their mothers.
--- Why just scare them? Sheng Bao's words were facts. It wouldn't be wrong to deal with them directly for incitement to attempted murder.
--- Forgive and forget where possible, after all, they are just children.
--- Evil people must know the consequences of their actions to learn a lesson. Don't always use minors as a shield.
--- The Juvenile Protection Law has good intentions, but children nowadays are becoming increasingly precocious, and the law has instead become a protection for their misdeeds. kuAiδugg
Jian Sheng did not pay attention to the subsequent handling. The treatment of the mother and son had been decided, and the mastermind behind it would naturally be taken care of by the State Security personnel.
What Jian Sheng was pondering was, who wanted to kill her?
She hadn't been here for long, and she believed she hadn't provoked anyone. The cultivators she had encountered were Lou Jusheng and Cheng Zhixian, whom she had already eliminated, followed by the two Daoist priests, Yu Guanzi and Chen Daoling.
Besides them, she hadn't even seen the face of any other cultivator.
If she had to add one more, it would be the person who murdered Elder Jian ten years ago.
Jian Sheng felt that the most likely culprit was Lou Jusheng's side, and perhaps Daoist Priest Chen Daoling, who had investigated Lou Jusheng for a long time, would know something.
Upon inquiry, Jian Sheng learned that Lou Jusheng was indeed not a loner; he had taken in some disciples over the many years he had been in the country.
He didn't genuinely intend to teach them anything, but rather used his disciples as blood slaves for his cultivation, absorbing their blood and flesh for his practice every few days.
And these disciples, having followed Lou Jusheng for so many years, had already been led astray.
Hearing that their master was annihilated, it was natural for them to become restless and eager to cause harm.
However, they suspected that their master was killed by someone behind Jian Sheng, so they wanted to directly test Jian Sheng.
They never expected that there was no one behind Jian Sheng at all; she herself was the biggest boss.
Upon learning that Lou Jusheng's demonic cultivator disciples might be causing trouble, Chen Daoling immediately notified Yu Guanzi and others in the cultivator circles.
Demonic cultivators were universally condemned, and no one wanted to discover their disciples' flesh and blood drained one day.
While ordinary people were being investigated by State Security, the cultivator world also had many enthusiastic cultivators helping. Jian Sheng, therefore, continued filming her program, obediently acting as bait to await the enemy's arrival.
Since their last attempt failed, those people would surely not give up and would continue to target her.
After leaving the police station, Jian Sheng and Jiang Bin et al. reunited with the others.
By this time, everyone else had also gathered most of their clues and were sequentially heading to the designated location with their answers.
Upon hearing about Jian Sheng's ordeal, the others were startled, and some even suggested Jian Sheng withdraw from the program and hire bodyguards for personal protection.
This suggestion was surprisingly supported by many viewers.
These viewers, watching the live broadcast, genuinely liked this intelligent and adorable young girl.
Although they would be very reluctant for the young girl to withdraw temporarily, for her safety, they hoped she would listen to their advice and quit the program to find protection.
However, Jian Sheng still declined their kind offer.
Since she had participated, she intended to complete the recording of this program well.
She was only here to play, and she wouldn't be staying in the entertainment industry afterward. She hadn't even seen the new homes prepared by the program crew, so how could she give up just like that?
Moreover, if she withdrew and there was no live broadcast, how would those who wanted to harm her find her?
If she wanted to find those demonic cultivators after withdrawing, it would be much more troublesome.
However, Jian Sheng had also made an agreement with Hu Guangxu and the audience that, considering her unique situation, she might disappear frequently during the upcoming program. She hoped the viewers watching the live broadcast would understand.
The audience expressed their understanding and support for the young girl's decision.
Once everyone had gathered, they began to make their way to the final destination.
There was their last stop, and also the location of their "new homes."
Upon arriving, everyone discovered that it was still a mountain village.
However, unlike Dongle Village, this place lacked the strong rural atmosphere, and the houses were far apart from each other.
Their new homes were located on a mountainside, with scattered unfinished rough-built houses that had only just begun construction.
What surprised them, however, was that these houses were all very large, and each had a big yard in front.
