Shen Shuwen was in a panic, and following Qin Lvzheng’s words, she quickly asked, "But what?"

"Don’t worry, I’ve never lost a lawsuit," Qin Lvzheng said coldly, staring at the three of them, enunciating each word: "You will lose for sure."

In short, Shao Xinxin couldn’t escape this time.

Suddenly, Qin Niexun’s phone vibrated; his colleague had arrived at the Bai family mansion.

In the next moment, a servant rushed in, shouting, "Madam, sir! There are a lot of police outside!"

Bai Binghua was startled and quickly grasped his wife’s arm, "Why are the police here?"

Bai Aiya shot him an exasperated glance.

What a coward! Always panicking at the slightest disturbance!

Bai Aiya deliberately raised her voice, "The police only arrest guilty people. Why are you so scared? Fool."

Among all the people present, there was only one guilty person.

Almost simultaneously, everyone’s gaze fell on Shao Xinxin, tacitly acknowledging that she was the one who had committed a crime!

Shao Yongkang quickly held his daughter in his arms, "What do you mean by this? How is Xinxin guilty? If you keep this up, I will sue all of you!"

Shen Shuwen, also frantic, cried out, her tears more genuine than before, "Exactly! My Xinxin is innocent!"

Two lines of police entered the main hall, and everyone instinctively made way.

The police approached the Shao family, presented their credentials, and said, "Police from A City Public Security Bureau, performing our duty. Please cooperate."

Shao Yongkang and Shen Shuwen wanted to protect their daughter, but they could only watch helplessly as the police took her away.

Shao Xinxin cried and shouted, "Mommy, Daddy... save me... I didn’t mean to!"

Shao Yongkang and Shen Shuwen hurriedly followed, "Xinxin, don’t be scared! Xinxin, don’t be scared!"

At this point, Shao Xinxin firmly believed she wouldn’t face any consequences because she was only six!

Sometimes, the juvenile protection law not only protects the victims but also shields the perpetrators.

Since Shao Xinxin was only six years old and very smart, she presented a sincere show of remorse in front of the police and the court. Ultimately, under Qin Lvzheng’s negotiations, she received only a one-year sentence in a juvenile rehabilitation center.

As her guardians, Shao Yongkang and Shen Shuwen compensated for the emotional damages, including legal fees, and apologized to the Qin, Ye, and Shi families.

The law is imperfect and still evolving, but it will not end there.

Beyond the law, there are many ways to exact punishment.

The Qin, Ye, and Shi families did not accept their apologies and demanded that once Shao Xinxin was released from the rehabilitation center, she must be taken abroad and never return; otherwise, they would not spare her.

Shao Yongkang realized these people were serious; there was no room for negotiation. He quickly prepared immigration documents, waiting for his daughter Xinxin to come out so they could emigrate without staying in the country any longer.

Indeed, they could not stay in the country any longer; everyone knew that the Shao family had a murderer, and that murderer was only six years old—it’s simply shocking!

These are all stories for later.

The Bai family’s son’s birthday banquet, though interrupted by unexpected events, still had to continue; otherwise, it would have been a waste.

After the Shao family left and the police departed, Bai Aiya immediately took control of the banquet.

She stepped onto the stage, leading her husband and son, and addressed the guests, "Thank you all for taking the time out of your busy schedules to attend our Bai Zhou’s birthday."

The surrounding lights dimmed, leaving only a spotlight on the central figure of the banquet.

As the background music shifted to a cheerful birthday song, two servants wheeled in a cake to the center stage.

Bai Zhou stood between his parents, his face beaming with happiness.

On and off the stage, everyone sang the birthday song together.

Qin Haochen, holding the little one, noticed a significant emotional shift in her.

He lowered his gaze, worried and affectionate, watching her little face while gently patting her back to comfort her.

Qin Sui’an leaned her little head against her father’s chest, her round eyes gazing at the happy Bai Zhou family on stage, her small voice holding back tears, "Daddy, Ann misses Mommy."

Qin Haochen kissed the top of her head, his eyes filled with concern, responding softly, "Sweetheart, we’ll go see your mommy soon."

"Okay." Qin Sui’an nodded, pursing her lips to suppress the moisture in her eyes.

Before the banquet ended, the Qin and Ye families took Ann away.

Bai Aiya held Bai Zhou’s hand and personally saw them to the parking area.

She discreetly observed the expressions of the Qin and Ye families and quietly sighed with relief in her heart.

Fortunately, the Qin and Ye families did not blame them for Shao Xinxin’s incident.

They had finally managed to ease their relationship with the Qin family, and she didn’t want to jeopardize it or offend the Ye family again due to external matters.

Before putting the little one into the backseat, Qin Haochen turned to the elderly Ye couple and said, "Mom and Dad, Ann wants to go to her mommy’s place later."

Old Mrs. Ye seemed to guess something and nodded gently, "Okay."

Qin Haochen then placed the little one in her safety seat, helping her buckle up while softly saying, "We’re going to find your mommy now."

Qin Sui’an nodded, "Mm-hmm!"

The luxurious cars of the Qin and Ye families left the Bai family mansion, heading to the Ye family hospital.

At nine o’clock in the evening, the Qin family’s luxury car stopped at the hospital entrance, followed by the Ye family’s.

Old Mrs. Ye, Old Mr. Ye, and Ye Rongyuan got out of the car while the driver took the car into the parking lot.

Qin Haochen also got out of his car and turned to carry the little one from her seat.

Qin Sui’an glanced back at the hospital building, then looked at her dad, her round eyes wet, as if she had something to say.

Qin Haochen gently rubbed her little head, "What’s wrong, Ann?"

"Daddy..." Qin Sui’an pursed her lips, her small voice soft, "Is Daddy busy today too?"

She knew very well that her dad wasn’t the type to be so busy he couldn’t see her mom.

Adult matters are so complicated.

Qin Haochen felt a pang in his heart, struggling to breathe.

He forced a smile but didn’t confirm or refute, "Sweetheart, I’ll come to pick you up tomorrow, or if you want, you can stay with your mommy for a few days."

Qin Sui’an lowered her head in silence.

Unable to bear the sight of the little one looking so downcast, Qin Haochen, holding back his own discomfort, turned to the elderly Ye couple, "Mom and Dad, it’s getting late. You should take Ann to rest first."

Old Mr. Ye glanced at his wife without saying a word.

Old Mrs. Ye’s gaze fell on her precious granddaughter; at that moment, her throat felt choked, making it hard to express her thoughts.

But actually, it wasn’t hard at all.

"It is getting late. Tonight, you and Ann should stay here; no need to go back and forth."
