“Don’t worry, he can’t hurt me.”
The police officers at the side widened their eyes in disbelief.
What did she say?
Grandma Xu actually requested this young lady to treat her! Not only that, but it was the man who had intended to hurt her.
It seemed that the man had wrongly accused her in front of them.
And they all misunderstood her.
Even Cheng Yan’s face had darkened almost immediately. “Someone was about to hurt you?” he murmured, but there was something about his low voice that could make anyone tremble.
Liu Zhi felt a small chill rush down his spine. What was he going to do?
He slowly inched behind Xu Hong.
“He wasn’t able to hurt me.”
Cheng Yan slowly nodded. “Still, there was the intent.”
She was quiet.
He didn’t prod her for more information. Instead, he glanced over at the police officer. “How long will one be locked up for attempted assault?”
The police officer hesitated for a moment before answering, “I still think we should be investigating this matter further before we can proceed with the arrest.”
“Has the matter not been made clear?” Qin Jing retorted. “Do you think Grandma Xuwill lie about this? They’re the ones responsible for this. What else would you investigate?”
Cheng Yan smiled cooly. “If you want, then investigate this matter now.”
“Of course.” Sweat trickled down his forehead.
Grandma Xu was still confused about the turnout. She glanced at Xu Xuanwith furrowed eyebrows, unsure what to make of the officers and medical staff. “Xuanxuan, did you call the police?”
Hearing her words, Xu Hong’s eyes flashed with hope.
Perhaps Grandma Xu didn’t want outsiders to know about what they’d done. Instead, she must’ve wanted to settle this matter privately. After all, rumors were bad for them, right?
What she didn’t expect was for her to add,
“Hm, that’s right. We should let these two learn a lesson or two. That way, they wouldn’t be disturbing our lives again in the future! You’ve done well, Xuanxuan.”
Grandma Xu ruffled her hair.
Not only was she supportive of Xu Xuan calling the police, but she even aimed to send them to jail!
“Thank you for all your trouble.” The old lady smiled, turning to the police officer. “If you want to ask me questions, then feel free to do so.”
Xu Hong’s face was filled with surprise.
Did she really want them to be arrested?
Did she not care for her anymore?
If it wasn’t for the fact that Xu Hong felt scared, she would’ve already opened her mouth and questioned them right then and there!
Xu Xuan, who was standing at the side, also heaved a sigh of relief. She had originally thought that her grandmother would side with them.
“I wasn’t the one who called the police. They did.”
Grandma Xu furrowed her eyebrows. “Why? Have they been overwhelmed with guilt that they planned to turn themselves in?”
The police officers finally understood everything.
It seemed that they had all been deceived by the couple!
Xu Hong could feel the police officers’ cool gazes boring on her back. She shuffled uncomfortable, before glancing over at Xu Xuan. Her hands began to tremble.
Her niece had always been sensible. Shouldn’t she forgive her aunt for what she had done?
However, Xu Xuan turned away. “No, they tried to incriminate Yao Tang. They said that it was due to her bad treatment that had led you to faint.”
“What?” Grandma Xu clenched her fists. The medicine had actually assisted in her recovery, and they paid Yao Tangback by trying to get her arrested? This was ridiculous!
“It’s not what you think.” Grandma Xu glanced back at the police officers. “They’re lying. You shouldn’t believe them.”
As she spoke, she was about to sit up when the officers assisted her back down. They shook their heads in unison.
“Please lie down and rest, Madame. We’ll find out the truth, and once we do, we won’t let the perpetrator go.”
