Chapter 294 Zheng Xiulan, do you dare?

"In...the conference room."

Her colleague hesitated for a moment, then advised Zheng Xiulan, "The police and leaders are all here, waiting for you. If you don't come, they'll probably all go to your house. You... speak softly, don't make a scene, otherwise..."

Zheng Xiulan didn't listen at all and just snorted coldly.

"She doesn't even deserve to step into my house! With me here, she'll never be allowed in!"

The colleague frowned, as if she was about to say something, but was stopped by another colleague who gently shook her head.

Zheng Xiulan rushed angrily towards the office with her child in her arms, not noticing their actions, and naturally not seeing the strange looks her colleagues were giving her.

As she approached the meeting room, someone behind her asked, "Comrade Zheng Xiulan, your eldest daughter-in-law said that you made her crawl on the ground to pick up the New Year's Eve dinner that had fallen, and when she disagreed, you pushed her down from behind. Is that true?"

Zheng Xiulan paused, then spat.

He said, "Of course not, she fell down on her own!"

The conference room door suddenly opened, and Su Hongying walked out with a cold face, staring at her.

She shouted, "Really? Then dare you swear to God? I fell down on my own, you didn't push me. If you had pushed me, all three of your sons would have died a violent death. Zheng Xiulan, do you dare?"

"you!"

Hearing Su Hongying make her swear such a vicious oath, Zheng Xiulan felt her scalp tingle and goosebumps rise all over her body.

She glared at Su Hongying, "You madwoman, why would I curse my own son like that? You've already divorced my son, don't think that by coming to my workplace to blackmail me, I'll agree to let you remarry my son. As long as I'm here, you'll never set foot in the Zhang family again in this lifetime! Don't even think about it!"

Su Hongying stared at her, gave a mocking smile, and turned to look at the police officers and leaders in the conference room.

She said, "You all heard it. She wouldn't swear, but she was the one who pushed me down. She caused my premature birth, my difficult labor, my severe bleeding, and made me end up on the operating table..."

Su Hongying's eyes hardened, and she gritted her teeth, "...Wait to die! The doctor wants to operate to remove the baby and save my life, but she and her eldest son refuse to sign the risk consent form because they only want to save the baby, they only want the child in my belly, and they will not allow any accident to harm their Zhang family's offspring!"

"You're talking nonsense..."

"...It wasn't until my mother, my eldest brother, and my third brother arrived and signed the papers that I underwent surgery and miraculously survived, along with my child. I spent nearly two months in the hospital during my postpartum confinement period, and Zheng Xiulan didn't visit me even once. Her eldest son and I wanted to separate and move out, but she wouldn't allow it and kept pressuring us to get a divorce. She even wanted to fight for custody of the child after the divorce..."

Zheng Xiulan's face turned extremely pale. Noticing the disappointment in her leader's eyes, she panicked and ordered Su Hongying, "Shut up!"

Su Hongying sighed softly.

She said, "I don't ask for anything else. My child's surname is Zhang, so he can go with them. I've been harmed by the Zhang family from beginning to end. Why should my family have to pay for my surgery and rehabilitation?! Zheng Xiulan must give me this money!"

Her eyes were sharp as she looked at the police and the leaders of Zheng Xiulan's unit. "I hope the police officers and leaders can uphold justice for me. If you can't do anything about her, then I'll have to appeal to higher authorities. Leaders, you are her direct superiors. If I appeal to higher authorities, can I only go to your superiors?"

The leaders' expressions were increasingly grim.

Two of them knew that Zheng Xiulan was two-faced, but they didn't expect her to treat her daughter-in-law like this in private.

They even caused a scene at my workplace, it's simply... digging their own grave!

The leaders exchanged glances, signaling the one closest to Zheng Xiulan to speak. That person was furious and called out to Zheng Xiulan, demanding, "What exactly happened?"

"Leaders, don't listen to Su Hongying's nonsense, she fell down on her own..."

Su Hongying interrupted, "Then swear it! If you dare to swear it, I won't want the money. Do you dare, Zheng Xiulan? You don't!"

Zheng Xiulan glared at her angrily.

Thinking of his eldest grandson in his arms, he scolded Su Hongying, "Your son is still in my Zhang family. Did you think about your son when you did this?"

Su Hongying chuckled coldly.

"What? I'm threatening you with your son, and you're threatening me with mine? Fine, give me back my son, and I'll change his surname to Su, and from now on..."

"Pah! You wish!"

Upon hearing this, Zheng Xiulan felt smug and had Su Hongying under her thumb. "This is a child of the Zhang family. Why should she have your surname, Su?"

"Knock knock".

The police officer tapped the table twice and called to Zheng Xiulan, "Comrade Zheng, please answer the questions directly. Did you push Su Hongying down? Are the surgical risk consent form and the matter of saving the baby true?"

"No……"

Zheng Xiulan opened her mouth to deny it, but the police reminded her in time, "If you tell the truth now, it is a confession, and we will naturally treat you leniently. If we find out the truth later, then pushing someone down and causing the child to be born prematurely, have a difficult labor and suffer severe bleeding will be considered a crime. We will prosecute you for attempted murder and sentence you according to the law. Do you understand?"

Zheng Xiulan froze, greatly alarmed.

She said, "She was perfectly fine, how did it become that I killed her?"

The police officer looked at her and said, "You're an educated person, you don't need us to explain to you what attempted murder means, do you?"

Zheng Xiulan pursed her lips and nodded.

But she couldn't bring herself to admit her mistake in front of so many people.

Zheng Xiulan turned her head and glanced at Su Hongying, wishing she could tear her apart!

That wretched slut!

He's definitely full of bad intentions.

Su Hongying stared at her and said, "Every word I said is true. If there is a single lie, may I die a horrible death."

Zheng Xiulan's heart skipped a beat, knowing that she was talking to her.

Unable to hold back, she blurted out, "Su Hongying, you wicked devil! You sowed discord between me and my son, and now you're trying to harm me! Aren't you afraid that the Navy will never forgive you if they find out..."

"Smack!"

Seeing Zheng Xulan evading the issue, the leader slammed his fist on the table in anger, "Zheng Xulan, aren't you ashamed enough? Do you really want the police to go to the hospital to investigate the dirty things you've done, and arrest you after you have conclusive evidence? Now tell the truth!"

Zheng Xiulan felt as if she had been hit on the head with a stick.

Suddenly I remembered that the hospital had medical records. Such a major surgery, and it happened on New Year's Eve, so the doctors and nurses at the hospital must have remembered it even more vividly.

She argued and confronted the doctors and nurses for so long, demanding that they save the baby!

She remembered that one of the doctors had been dragged away from the New Year's Eve dinner table; they must all remember what happened, even the things she said...

Zheng Xiulan then felt frightened. She hugged her child tightly and looked at the leaders with panicked eyes. When she found that their eyes were all indifferent, her heart sank. She had no choice but to abandon her composure and look pleadingly at the leaders with whom she usually had a good relationship...
