Chapter 10: Chapter 10: Mrs. Fu on a Rampage
Mrs. Fu erupted with a force she’d never shown before.
"Pah! Song Yan, you shameless bastard! What do you mean my daughter is targeting Bai Siqi? She’s the one who snuck around and stole someone else’s college acceptance letter, and you think she’s in the right? I guess it’s true that birds of a feather flock together. Since you’re so protective of your ex-wife, why don’t you just take her home and provide for her? And to think you had the gall to send a matchmaker to my house today to propose marriage!"
"You, Song! Are you trying to ruin my daughter? It’s a good thing we were on our guard. Otherwise, you two would have completely destroyed her reputation. You two really had it all figured out, didn’t you? One of you tries to ruin my daughter’s reputation, while the other brazenly steals her college acceptance letter without a shred of guilt. What a shameless pair."
"I don’t give a damn what’s going on with you two. Someone pushed my daughter into the water today, and what a coincidence that you were right there to ’save’ her. It’s a good thing she’s a fast swimmer. If she wasn’t, her reputation would have been ruined in front of this whole crowd!"
"We’re the ones who insisted on calling the police. You’re just an outsider, yet you keep insisting on the Dongcheng Police Station. What, you think you can pull some strings with your buddies there? Let me tell you something. Pushing someone into a river is attempted murder, and the motive is simple: to steal my daughter’s acceptance letter. I’m reporting this to the Xicheng Police Station, and if you have a problem with that, you can go to hell—"
"Look at you, you guilty dog."
Mrs. Fu spat at him again.
Since they weren’t too far apart, the spittle actually landed right on Song Yan’s face.
Song Yan’s face darkened with rage.
He suppressed his anger. "Ma’am—"
"Pah! Who are you calling ’Ma’am’? Let me tell you something, mind your own damn business. Or else, I won’t just be pressing charges against that Bai woman, I’ll press charges against you and your buddies at the Dongcheng Police Station, too."
Fu Mingxue spoke up. "Officer, I demand that you open a case. If you refuse, I’ll go straight to the municipal authorities to report this!"
"The Xicheng Police Station will take this case. You two, you’re coming with me. And the rest of you, come with me to file the report and give your statements."
Fu Mingxue nodded. "Good!"
Meanwhile, the faces of the Bai mother and daughter had gone pale.
"Song Yan—" Bai Siqi cried, her voice trembling with fear.
His heart ached for her, and he tried to interfere again. "This is Dongcheng’s jurisdiction. You from Xicheng—"
The officer cut him off.
"The river where Fu Mingxue fell in is under Xicheng’s jurisdiction. She’s reporting a premeditated attempted murder, so of course the Xicheng Police Station must handle it. What, are you trying to obstruct a police investigation?" The officer who spoke, Tang Qiang, was about Song Yan’s age.
He had a very firm disposition.
Song Yan’s face darkened, and he said through gritted teeth, "No!"
Tang Qiang stared him down. "Good. However, since you’re involved in this case, you’ll need to come back with me for questioning too."
Song Yan: ...?
And just like that, not only were the Bai mother and daughter taken away, but Song Yan had to go along too.
Fu Mingxue felt a deep sense of satisfaction.
’This pack of animals... You’ve finally gotten your comeuppance.’ frёeωebɳovel.com
’It seems my rebirth wasn’t for nothing.’
’It was to get my revenge.’
As soon as they were led away, the neighborhood erupted in an uproar. Good heavens, that Bai Siqi is truly terrifying.
Truly, you can know a person’s face but not their heart. She must be rotten to the core!
But if the mother and daughter were in trouble, what about the Bai Family’s father and son? Why hadn’t they shown up?
Fu Mingxue followed the police to the Xicheng Police Station.
Tang Qiang personally took her statement.
Fu Mingxue laid out her suspicion that she’d been pushed into the river.
"I have evidence. My clothes must still have marks on them."
In truth, she wasn’t entirely certain, but the shove had been incredibly forceful. "Also," she continued, "you should be able to find some clues at the scene."
