Chapter 365: They Were Well Aware of This Philosophy

“Ms. Lan, please calm down. The report has been officially filed. Mr. Ni’s daughter, Ni Xiaona, called the police earlier and reported that it was you who had caused emotional stress on Mr. Ni, to the extent that Mr. Ni had fallen ill. She has decided to press charges against you for assault.”

Eh? Did Ni Xiaona call the police? Jiang Tingxu and Liao Jiayu met gazes with each other. Surprise had flashed across their eyes.

Yet, Ni Xiaona’s situation was understandable. Not only did she had a miscarriage, but she would also never bear a child again for the rest of her life. That very morning, her boyfriend’s mother, a.k.a. Ms. Lan, had made a scene at her ward by scolding her harshly and asking for a DNA test, suspecting that her miscarried baby was not her son’s. Her boyfriend, who was a wuss, didn’t even have the guts to speak up and just stood by and watched as his own mother humiliate his girlfriend and her family.

Anyone’s heart would’ve been broken if something like this had happened.

Hearing that charges were being pressed against her, Ms. Lan was very, very unsettled. She shrieked, “Did I hear it wrong? Is the Ni family really going to blame me on this? What about that little b*tch and her family? They were trying to scam money from us, officers! They were trying to blackmail us! First of all, they had claimed that the child belonged to my son. And now, they’re trying to blame her father’s sickness on who? Me! Oh my god, for heaven’s sake, what kind of people are they? Do they think they could take advantage of our family?”

As she finished her sentence, she was so outraged that she slammed the table, causing a huge ‘bang’ noise in the small interrogation room. She was moronic to have done that in front of the police and in the police’s territory.

The male police officer frowned. “Ms. Lan, this is the police station. Please behave yourself.”

Jiang Tingxu, Liao Jiayu, and Deng Peng were silent, being the onlookers that they were ought to be while the tea is spilled.

Only a fool would have uttered a sound at this time.

“Okay, okay. I’ll behave,” Ms. Lan continued, “Mr. Officer, you can’t just listen to her side of the statement. Actually, I went to the hospital to visit them out of goodwill, but they insisted that the child in her belly was my son’s. Wouldn’t it be understandable for me to reason with them? We couldn’t just swallow a bitter pill and do nothing. It’s an illegitimate child we’re talking about here.”

The officer who was taking notes at the side couldn’t take it anymore. He warned, “Ms. Lan, are you sure you were just trying to reason? Deceiving the People’s Police is punishable by law!”

So many witnesses had seen and heard how Ms. Lan had caused a commotion in the ward. Even the exact words that she’d hatefully remarked had been jotted down.

“I… I might have been a little agitated, and my words were a little sharp, but I did this only to make things clear! Also, I wasn’t there when Mr. Ni had fainted—Dr. Jiang and Dr. Liao saw that.”

Jiang Tingxu nodded in agreement.

Of course, Liao Jiayu wouldn’t deny it, but at the same time, he reminded the police. “Ms. Lan wasn’t there because she suspected that the baby didn’t belong to her son. She wanted to have a DNA test done, and she went out with the nurse to pay. However, just as Ms. Lan had left, Mr. Ni fainted,” he paused, “the time difference shouldn’t be more than ten seconds. You could request for surveillance camera footage as proof.”

Liao Jiayu hadn’t intended to speak out initially. Who knew that Ms. Lan would actually cue him and Dr. Jiang? Gee… He had to tell the truth then. Even if he hadn’t said it, the police would still have checked it.

This woman was really too much—every word she had said was an attempt to deny or refuse her responsibility. Putting aside whether the child that Ni Xiaona aborted was her son’s, this woman definitely had to take responsibility for Mr. Ni’s sudden collapse.

Some things were better left unsaid—Jiang Tingxu and the others were well aware of this philosophy, and the police wouldn’t have missed this piece of information.
