Qiao Wanwan smiled. "Mr. Zhao, don't make baseless accusations. I have always abided by the law. The Zhan family pays more taxes every year than your Zhao family has in a lifetime. As the number one taxpayer in the capital and even in China, is it wrong for me to call the police to investigate?"

Zhao Youguang frowned. "What case are you calling the police to investigate?"

“It’s a child abuse case, of course.” Qiao Wanwan’s eyes were cold as she spoke each word firmly. “I suspect that my son, Xiao Jiu, has been subjected to mental abuse and physical beatings in the Zhao family for many years, so I called the police to investigate!”

Zhao Youguang shuddered violently. "Nonsense! That's not true! We didn't mistreat him!"

"Whether it's true or not, we'll only know after a lie detector test!"

"I told you, you prepared the lie detector, the police are from the capital, and you're in charge of everything here. We're destined to be framed by you today!"

"Don't rush to spout nonsense," Qiao Wanwan sneered. "I guessed you'd say that, so I was prepared. I've done my research. You have a cousin who's the director of a local police station in Haicheng. I brought him here today, along with two of his colleagues, to witness this together. Surely your cousin wouldn't harm you?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Jiang Dong entered with three other people.

Zhao Youguang's legs went weak, and he almost lost control and knelt down!

"Uncle..."

The leading man sighed and said with exasperation, "I'm about to retire, and I never thought something like this would happen to me. You've completely disgraced me!"

Zhao Youguang was on the verge of tears, "We're innocent..."

"What injustice!" the man said indignantly. "Madam Zhan's actions in reporting the case to the police were reasonable and legal. She not only reported the case in the capital but also in Haicheng, demanding that we investigate this matter thoroughly. Since you refuse to admit it, of course we have to use a lie detector! Even if this matter is brought up elsewhere, she is still in the right!"

“If it’s true, just accept it. Xiao Jiu doesn’t seem to have any major problems right now, so the consequences won’t be too serious.”

Zhao Youguang looked anxious and lowered his voice, saying, "Uncle, can't you help me...?"

"How can I help!" the man shouted.

Zhao Youguang: "..."

Qiao Wanwan smiled faintly, "The facts are already very clear, so we don't need the lie detector anymore. But there's one thing I still need to clarify."

Qiao Wanwan walked up to Zhuangzhuang and said, "Tell me, who pushed Xiao Jiu into the pool?"

"It wasn't me!" Zhuangzhuang immediately denied it. "I didn't push the little monster... no, I pushed Xiao Jiu!"

If he weren't a child, Qiao Wanwan would have slapped him long ago!

Qiao Wanwan suppressed her anger and said sternly, "Fine, then you'll take the lie detector test in front of the police officer. Little friend, let me explain to you: if you lie, the lie detector will detect it, and you'll be taken away by the police officer."

Zhuangzhuang panicked immediately and hid behind Zhao Youguang, "Dad, I'm scared..."

Zhao Youguang immediately said, "Madam Zhan, I respect you very much, but how can you threaten a child!"

"I was just explaining things to him, Mr. Zhao. Your son is a habitual liar, and I now suspect that he pushed the child into the water!" Qiao Wanwan's words were filled with pressure. "Although Xiao Jiu survived after falling into the water, he suffered from aphasia due to excessive shock. This is irreversible damage and constitutes intentional injury! Therefore, I strongly urge the police in Beijing and Haicheng to work together to find out the truth and give my innocent child justice!"

Zhao Youguang's cousin stepped forward and said, "Youguang, did Zhuangzhuang push Xiao Jiu? If so, just admit it."

He lowered his voice and said, "You need to see the current situation clearly. The Zhan family isn't incapable of dealing with the Zhao family. If Zhan Jingting wants you dead today, you won't live to see tomorrow. The fact that they've called the police is giving you a way out. Don't provoke them any further!"

Zhao Youguang's legs gave way and he collapsed to the ground!

"Madam Zhan...it was Zhuangzhuang who pushed Xiao Jiu into the water, but...but he didn't do it on purpose..."

"You think I'd believe that?" Qiao Wanwan approached him step by step. Despite being a petite girl, she seemed to have a thousand troops behind her, exuding an intense sense of oppression. "My son was bullied by the Zhao family to the point of losing his voice. This cannot be erased with a simple 'it wasn't intentional' statement! Not to mention that you're all stubbornly refusing to admit it!"

"Madam Zhan, I know I was wrong!" Zhao Youguang knelt down before her. "I admit it, I admit it all!"

"Xiao Jiu is too smart. She has overshadowed the other children since she was little. Of course we were unhappy about it and often complained about her behind her back. The children were influenced by her and naturally began to dislike Xiao Jiu. But we really didn't expect Zhuang Zhuang to push Xiao Jiu into the water, let alone that he would lose his speech!"

Qiao Wanwan's fingertips trembled with anger. "But you're secretly pleased that Xiao Jiu, who can't speak, won't be able to put your child above him. Plus, since your parents no longer like Xiao Jiu, you can bully and trample on his dignity at will!"

"Whether it's the children or you adults, you all call Xiao Jiu 'little monster,' and you can bully him at will. It's even become a habit for you, hasn't it?"

Zhao Youguang trembled with fear. "Madam Zhan, I really know I was wrong. I apologize to you. I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!"

"You apologize because you think I have power and influence. If Xiao Jiu wasn't Zhan Jingting's son, but just an ordinary child, would you still have this attitude?" Qiao Wanwan's tears fell uncontrollably. "He's so young and so fragile. He needs protection even more than your son. How can you, as an adult, bear to treat a child who poses no threat to you like this!"

Zhao Youguang was trembling all over and couldn't say a word!

"Madam, please calm down..." Zheng Ma sobbed, trying to soothe Qiao Wanwan. "You're pregnant; you can't let these awful people upset you and ruin your health..."

Qiao Wanwan tried to calm herself down. "I want the Zhao family to give me an explanation within a week. Now, you must apologize to Xiao Jiu."

Zhan Yin, holding Xiao Jiu's hand, came to Qiao Wanwan's side and looked down at the Zhao family members, "Hurry up and apologize!"

Zhao Youguang hurriedly said, "What are you all standing there for? Come over here and kneel down before Xiao Jiu!"

"I won't kneel!" Zhuangzhuang said angrily. "I won't kneel to the little monster!"

Qiao Wanwan's eyes suddenly turned cold!

Zhao Youguang raised his hand and slapped his son hard across the face. "Shut up! I told you to kneel down and apologize to Xiao Jiu! And if you dare call him that again, I'll beat you to death, you believe me!"

Zhuangzhuang broke down in tears, crying, "My grandparents never hit me, how dare you hit me! I hate you!"

"You dare talk back?" Zhao Youguang stood up and gave Zhuangzhuang a severe beating!
