Chapter 715: Finally Get Rid of the Anger

"Don't worry, I will arrange to postpone the engagement party, and we'll decide based on how our mother recovers." Xiao Shiqiu comforted me gently.

"I'm sorry." I said to him softly.

Xiao Shiqiu's voice became softer. "No need to apologize. This isn't your fault. I understand. Besides, we've already made it official. Even if we don't hold an engagement party, everyone knows you're my, Xiao Shiqiu's, fiancée. The engagement is just a formality."

Although the postponement of the engagement party was not caused by me, I still feel guilty. Xiao Shiru spent a lot of manpower, material resources and energy on this engagement party. Postponement is just two simple words, but in fact there are a lot of details that need to be rearranged. I get a headache just thinking about it.

Not to mention there are so many guests who need to have their invitations reissued. I really hate Deng Sisi and her father.

News came from the police station that Deng Sisi and Deng Xinrong had been caught. Their escape did not require any technical skills and they were caught as soon as they arrived at the high-speed rail station. The real-name system for buying tickets is still very useful.

"Dad, why don't you wait here for Mom to come out while I go to the police station."

My dad looked up, his eyes red. He hesitated for a moment before answering, "Okay, go ahead. I'll stay here."

Xiaoyan drove me to the police station. On the way, I stared out the window blankly without saying a word. She finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"Don't worry too much, Auntie will be fine. The engagement party is just postponed. The rescheduling of the Xiao family's engagement party will not affect the guests' attendance. By the time Auntie recovers from her injuries, the case will probably have been decided. By then, it won't delay your engagement party."

I gave a wry smile. "I'm not worried about the engagement party. It's... Deng Sisi is pregnant. As long as she insists on giving birth to the child, even if she is sentenced, she will probably serve her sentence outside of prison."

Xiaoyan was silent, her fingers tapping unconsciously on the steering wheel.

"Actually, that's not necessarily the case," she finally said, her voice low. "In the detention center, pregnant women in their early stages..." She hesitated, then continued, "Those pregnant women are more likely to have accidents."

She looked straight ahead, seemingly just chatting casually, "especially those with big mood swings or whose physical condition is not good to begin with."

I turned my head to look at her. She looked calm, nothing unusual. She had dealt with all kinds of criminals and seen too much darkness. I knew what she was hinting at, and my heartbeat involuntarily quickened.

"But..." I opened my mouth, but didn't know what to say.

"I'm just stating a fact," Xiaoyan interrupted me. "Everyone detained has to undergo a physical examination, but the results of early pregnancy tests... are sometimes inaccurate."

The corners of her mouth rose slightly, revealing a meaningful smile. "Besides, some people are not worthy of being mothers, right?"

When I arrived at the police station, I saw Captain Feng smoking outside. Thinking that we were already acquaintances, I walked over and said hello, "Captain Feng, nice to see you again."

He saw it, was stunned for a moment, then smiled warmly and said, "Oh~ Miss Xia, we are really destined to meet. The last case has just been concluded, and your second case has just come up."

I smiled bitterly. I didn't really want this fate.

I politely replied, "Yes, I am a very troublesome cousin. I am sorry to trouble you."

"No, no, your two cases are not difficult to solve and not tiring at all." Captain Feng was quite polite, but he just felt something was a little weird.

Seeing that he had no intention of discussing the case with me, I coughed lightly and said, "Captain Feng, isn't it you who will be interrogating the prisoner today?"

He took a long drag on his cigarette and said, "It's me. Your cousin has been crying, and I was really upset, so I came out to smoke a cigarette."

Thinking of Deng Sisi's tendency to cry, I also felt inexplicably irritated. When she was little, I would be in trouble whenever she cried. Now I have some PTSD. I decided to wait until she was tired of crying before going in.

After Captain Feng finished smoking, he asked me to go in with him. I followed Captain Feng into the interrogation room. Deng Sisi was sitting on a chair. Unlike last time, she was handcuffed this time, her face was pale, and her eyes were swollen from crying.

She heard the door open and looked up at me a little slowly. When she saw it was me, a trace of resentment flashed in her eyes, and then she said aggrievedly as usual, "Cousin, I'm sorry, I accidentally scratched my aunt. I ran away because I was too scared. I really didn't mean it."

If I hadn't watched the video, I probably wouldn't have believed that she would stab my mother with a knife.

Her words made me furious. "Does it say gullible on my face? Do you think my mother is dead and won't tell anyone about what you did?"

My mother raised you from childhood and you have brought up a grudge against me. Not only did you harm the baby in her belly, you also wanted to kill her. How could there be such a beast as you!

"I didn't, I really didn't. I wanted to peel an apple for my aunt. I just picked up the fruit knife and she suddenly got angry and pushed me. I don't know what happened, but the knife cut her. I hope my aunt is okay now." She started crying again.

How dare she cheat? I was so angry that my hands were shaking. Suddenly, I remembered that my house originally only had security cameras in the yard. The cameras in the living room were installed after the shoe-sole incident. Deng Sisi didn't know about it, so she thought that as long as she refused to admit it was intentional, she couldn't be convicted of intentional injury.

I clenched my fists and wanted to hit her, but it might not be a good idea to do it in front of Captain Feng. I pulled Xiaoyan to the door and whispered in her ear, "Sister Xiaoyan, I want to hit her. Will I be detained?"

Xiaoyan looked at me strangely and said, "You're quite sensible. You even consulted before taking action."

"Well, I want to vent my anger, but I'm afraid of getting into trouble." I nodded honestly.

"Okay, I'll call Captain Feng out to talk, you hurry up." Xiaoyan answered very straightforwardly.

After she went in, she said something to Captain Feng, and then Captain Feng went out with her and closed the door behind him.

Deng Sisi looked at me warily, "What do you want to do?"

I imitated Aunt Rong in the TV series, walked over with a sly smile, and unexpectedly slapped her in the face, muttering, "I told you to be an ungrateful person!"

Deng Sisi's eyes were filled with disbelief, "How dare you hit me?!"

I slapped him again and said, "I'm going to hit you. You eat my family's flowers and you still have the nerve to hate my family." I slapped him twice more. My hand was a little numb, but it really relieved me.

Deng Sisi yelled, "Xia Yimeng, are you crazy?"

At this moment, I suddenly began to understand why men like to fight. It turns out that beating people is so stress-relieving.

While she was handcuffed to the chair and unable to resist, I slapped her several times in a row, beating and scolding her, fully experiencing the pleasure of bullying her.
