‘When the time comes, none of you will be able to wiggle your way out of paying compensation.’
Xu Hong sneered at the thought ofYao Tang’s medicine. She didn’t believe for a minute that it could cure her mother’s illness. The girl might be quick on her feet, but it was no indication of her talents in the medical field.
Besides, if she were really that great, then why was Grandma Xustill unconscious?
Once they got rid of these pesky girls, they would send the old woman to the hospital and gather the necessary paperwork, and then demand payment.
Surely, these girls’ families wouldn’t make a fuss about the matter.
It was their daughters’ fault for getting involved in the first place. They shouldn’t have associated themselves with Xu Xuan.
Xu Hong andLiu Zhiexchanged a meaningful glance and grinned, their eyes sparkling with greed.
When Xu Hongturned back into the room, however, she found that the police officers stacked over each other like a small hill.
Needless to say, it wasn’t the scene that they had been expecting to see.
Just then, Yao Tangshifted her gaze over to the couple. BothXu HongandLiu Zhijumped in fright. Their initial reaction was to flee once again.
The mass of bodies moved as the officers groaned and got to their feet. A couple of them were so scared of Yao Tangthat they went straight for the door.
“Officers! Come quick and help us! She’s going to take her revenge on us! It looks like she isn’t satisfied after beating us up once. Hmph! This arrogant brat! Officers, hurry and protect us!”
But the police themselves were still bewildered and disoriented.
All they had wanted was to grab the girl and subdue her. They never imagined that she would be strong enough to pile them up like they were nothing more than pillows.
They all heard Liu Zhi’s lamentations, but they didn’t have the time to address them.
They turned to the old lady, anxious to make sure that she wasn’t getting any worse.
To their horror, they realized that the bowl was now empty.
The girl had managed to feed it all to the patient!
The officers were furious, especially since Grandma Xuremained unconscious. Now that things had come to this, they were determined to arrest the girls and put them in jail.
They moved forward and pulled Qin JingandXu Xuanaway. “Do you realize that you have violated the law? If anything happens to the old lady, you will all go to jail!”
Deep down, they swore to themselves to teach these girls a lesson and show them just how serious the repercussions were for their reckless actions.
Of course, this delighted Xu HongandLiu Zhi. The girls had fed every drop of the suspicious liquid to Grandma Zhu, and they had also offended the police.
Those girls had no way out of this.
Liu Zhi plastered a look of grief and indignation on his face. He wanted to take advantage of the circumstances, but it was a pity that he couldn’t act well. Any clever person would have seen through his act.
“You don’t know this, Officers, but my wife and I came here today to bring my mother-in-law home. We wanted to take care of her in her old age. We surely never expected something like this to happen.
“My mother-in-law dotes on my niece, you see, so she insisted on staying in this dilapidated house to take care of the girl. Even when she was ill, she refused to let us know.
“You can imagine our surprise when we dropped by earlier and found that Xu Xuan, this errant niece of mind, has brought over strangers who claimed to be capable of curing my poor mother-in-law. All this girl did was stick needles into the old lady’s body! To think thatXu Xuanwould repay her grandmother’s kindness this way.
“You know what happened next. She and her friends attacked us, so we had no choice but to go to the police. We didn’t know what else to do.”
Liu Zhi wiped the nonexistent tears from his eyes as he finished his sob story.
After listening to him, the police grew even more hostile to the girls. The head officer sighed and said, “They are still young. There are some things they don’t understand yet. It would be better for the adults to take charge of the situation.”
This was precisely the comment that Liu Zhihad been waiting for. “We did want to take over the responsibilities, officer, but my niece refused. She was adamant about taking care of my mother-in-law on her own.”
He shot a helpless look at Xu Xuan, as if the girl had been bullying her all this time instead of the opposite.
The head officer was visibly displeased. “How about this then? Once the old lady is cleared by the hospital, we will send her home with you and your wife. You will be the ones to look after her from now on.”
