Suddenly, a waitress named Chunhong rushed forward and grabbed Xia Wan's arm tightly. Her face looked extremely anxious, and she kept making some indistinct sounds.

At the same time, she was gesturing rapidly in the air with her hands, as if she was very afraid that Xia Wan would take the opportunity to escape. Her hands were clenched so tightly that her knuckles were slightly white.

Xia Wan's eyes flickered slightly. It seemed that the effects of her injection were almost over, otherwise she wouldn't have been unable to make a sound just now, but could now make some noise!

However, with a helpless expression, he turned to the police officers standing to the side, spread his hands and said, "Comrades, you all saw it with your own eyes. I really don't understand what she's trying to express with all those gestures."

And just now, inside that department store, this woman was being sarcastic and verbally abusive towards me. She was completely different then!

Seeing his niece gesturing so anxiously but unable to express herself clearly, Guo Aimin became increasingly anxious.

He turned his head sharply and glared at another saleswoman who came out of the department store with his niece, demanding in a stern voice, "Chunhong can't speak, so you come and explain to me clearly what exactly happened?"

As he spoke, he pointed his finger directly at the waiter, his eyes filled with a threatening look, as if warning the waiter not to say anything that might harm his own interests.

The waiter who was called out was so frightened that he trembled and stammered, "I...I really don't know the specifics. I just saw this woman arguing with Sister Chunhong. After the woman turned and left, Sister Chunhong suddenly couldn't speak."

The waiter originally thought that with Guo Aimin's power and methods, he would be able to easily suppress Xia Wan.

However, to her utter surprise, even Guo Aimin's intervention failed to subdue Xia Wan, and instead attracted the attention of the police.

At this moment, she felt anxious and uneasy, knowing that she was in a dilemma.

On the one hand, she dared not speak casually anymore, for fear of accidentally angering Manager Guo; on the other hand, she worried that her words were not careful enough and that others would have something to say about her.

So she could only stammer and speak vaguely, trying to prevent others from finding any flaws or mistakes in her words.

But how could the clever and quick-witted Xia Wan let her off so easily?

Xia Wan stared sharply at the waiter and questioned him without any politeness: "So, sir, did you actually see me touch her? Or did you see me use any method to make her mute?"

Faced with Xia Wan's blunt and sharp questioning, the waiter immediately panicked.

Her eyes darted around, and she turned timidly to look at Guo Aimin beside her, as if she were asking him for help.

She seemed extremely guilty and had no idea how to answer.

At this moment, everyone's attention shifted to Guo Aimin, following the waiter's actions.

Feeling the scrutinizing gazes of those around him, Guo Aimin couldn't help but feel annoyed.

He glared at the waiter and snapped, "What are you looking at me for? Answer the questions truthfully right now! The police are right here, do you think I'd dare do anything to you?"

As soon as Guo Aimin uttered these words, the waiter trembled violently and involuntarily shivered.

She thought to herself, "Manager Guo's words sound like he's trying to comfort me, but they actually have a hidden meaning!"

What he was implying was that because there were police officers present, he wouldn't take any action against him for the time being.

But once the police officers leave, I'm afraid the first person Manager Guo will make things difficult for and retaliate against will be myself!

Thinking about this, the waiter felt his situation becoming increasingly difficult, and fine beads of sweat began to appear on his forehead.

However, the moment she looked up and met Xia Wanqing's cold gaze, her heart skipped a beat. In a panic, she quickly looked away and stammered, "I...I just saw you and Sister Chunhong in contact."

At this moment, her heart was in turmoil, and she kept thinking about how to deal with the situation.

You have to understand that she will continue to work in this department store in the future, and if she offends the manager because of this, the consequences would be unimaginable.

In contrast, Xia Wan appeared calm and composed, casually asking in a nonchalant tone, "Oh? Then may I ask when exactly I met her? And how exactly did we meet?"

Could it be that I hit her? Comrade, I hope you can tell the truth! After all, there were quite a few people in this department store just now, including other employees besides you… You should know that giving false testimony is a crime…

In fact, Xia Wan was not particularly aware of the serious consequences of giving false testimony at this moment, but she knew that pretending to be confident and composed could have some deterrent effect on others.

As expected, Xia Wan's words struck the waitress like a thunderbolt, turning her face ashen instantly.

Her eyes began to dart around, as if they had lost focus; she bit her lip tightly, as if trying to suppress her fear; and a fine layer of sweat appeared on her forehead without her noticing.

At the same time, people around her turned their attention to her, all waiting quietly for her to give a reasonable answer.

Under everyone's gaze, the waiter's body trembled slightly, and even his voice trembled a little as he spoke: "I...I really can't remember very clearly."

As she spoke, she tried her best to avoid Xia Wan's sharp gaze, not daring to meet his eyes for even a second.

"Can't remember?" Xia Wan's lips curled into a cold smile, her eyes flashing with icy intent. She snorted and said, "That won't do! Just now, you were absolutely certain that you saw me bump into her. How come you've suddenly changed your mind and say you can't remember? You better explain yourself clearly, what exactly happened?"

The waiter had his head down, his body trembling slightly, and he didn't dare to meet Xia Wan's eyes. He stammered, "I...I really don't remember...I don't remember the situation very clearly."
