Du Sentian scratched his ears, thinking he was hallucinating. "Your adoptive mother? Jin Guizhi?"

"Yes, I'm not the Tang family's biological daughter. Many people at the Zhuding Township Supply and Marketing Cooperative know about this, and I just found out. I want to leave the Tang family. My adoptive mother beats and scolds me every day, and abuses me both mentally and physically. And my adoptive father often, often..."

Tang Xiaolian couldn't say what she wanted to say, but Du Sentian, as a man, certainly understood. This was too shameless. He picked up the notebook and pen and asked, "Are you still injured?"

Tang Xiaolian nodded, "Yes, and there are still serious old injuries."

Du Sentian stood up and said, "Then let's go to the county hospital! They have a new forensic identification center. It's almost the New Year, I wonder if they are closed for the holiday? I'll come back and make some notes later."

Dong Yunrong pulled Tang Xiaolian and said, "Let's go, hurry up, there will always be someone on duty."

Du Sentian was about to go to the backyard to push his bicycle when Ling Ran stopped him, "There's a car."

Du Sentian turned around and put his big hat on his head, "Let's go."

"You here?"

Du Sentian shook his head. "Don't worry about it. Who would dare to come into the police station to steal things? The important things are locked in the safe."

Sitting in the nanny car, Du Sentian looked at Zhou Xiang with a smile, "Back then, a little girl rushed to the police station to report a case, saying that someone had violated her portrait rights, and asked me to help her collect evidence. At that time, I really thought that this little girl was smart and courageous.

I never thought that this little girl would become a public figure! We are so envious and jealous that we wish she were our own daughter.”

Zhou Xiang chuckled dryly, "Uncle policeman, I was very aggressive at that time. I didn't want to suffer any loss. Thank you for your help, uncle policeman."

"You're welcome. It's my job."

"I still have to thank you. I'm sorry for causing you trouble today. You have to go out on patrol in the middle of winter."

"It doesn't matter. We are the people's police! We have to stand up for innocent people."

The car soon arrived at the county hospital, and in the corner of the hospital's lobby, there was indeed a newly partitioned area.

Fortunately, there was someone on duty inside.

Du Sendian negotiated with the staff on duty, and Tang Xiaolian was called into the appraisal center, with Zhou Xiang following behind her.

The person on duty was a man, so she had to follow him.

The person on duty looked at Zhou Xiang and did not refuse, so Dong Yunrong and Ling Ran were refused entry.

After Tang Xiaolian took off her cotton coat and sweater, Zhou Xiang asked her to face her and she helped Tang Xiaolian pull up her clothes.

The officer on duty took a deep breath when he saw the pitted back and asked, "How long have you been like this?"

"Nine years." Zhou wanted to answer for Tang Xiaolian. "She also said her back hurts after it rains on cloudy days."

The person on duty took the camera and took a picture of Tang Xiaolian's back, and wrote it down in the notebook.

Zhou Xiang put down the clothes on Tang Xiaolian's back and pulled up her sleeves. "Both of these arms have new and old injuries."

The person on duty took some photos and recorded them, then said, "Let's go get an X-ray and check the ribs and spine."

The staff on duty took a notebook and took a group of people to the outpatient radiology department.

When Tang Xiaolian entered the X-ray room, the staff on duty pulled Du Sendian into the X-ray workshop.

Soon, the door of the X-ray room opened and Tang Xiaolian walked out.

The workshop door was still closed.

Tang Xiaolian looked around in confusion, "Where's that police officer?"

Zhou Xiang pointed to the door next to the X-ray room and said, "Inside! Wait."

After waiting for more than ten minutes, the door of the workshop opened and the person on duty and Du Sendian walked out. Both of them looked a little solemn.

Zhou Xiang's heart was at peace, so there wouldn't be any big problems, right?

The staff member on duty said, "This patient has two dislocated and healed ribs. If she doesn't feel any discomfort, she doesn't need surgery.

In addition, there is a deformed vertebra in her back. The back pain on cloudy days is probably caused by this vertebra. No treatment is needed for the time being. As long as she keeps warm and avoids catching a cold and doing heavy work, she should take care of herself and go to the hospital for treatment as soon as she feels uncomfortable.

Zhou Xiang breathed a sigh of relief and decided to just take care of it from now on. "Your expressions were so serious, it scared me."

The officer on duty said, "Because I can't help the patient, her old injury is over the time limit and doesn't threaten her life. Her new injury isn't even a minor one. I feel a little sad. If she had the courage she has now when she was a minor, her adoptive mother would have been punished."

Zhou Xiang turned to look at Du Sentian. "Although we can't determine the severity of the injuries, can they be used as evidence? Evidence of abuse?"

Du Sentian nodded. "Yes, the wounds on her arms are both old and new, which can prove that they are long-term. There are also testimonies from the neighbors on both sides, which can also serve as evidence."

"Okay, thank you sir, I'm sorry to bother you."

The person on duty waved his hand and said, "It's okay. It's my job."

Ling Ran followed the on-duty staff to get the bill and pay. Zhou Xiang asked Du Sentian, "It seems that I will have to trouble you to help collect evidence again today."

Du Sentian waved his hand nonchalantly, "It's okay. I don't despise Jin Guizhi. She broke a teenager's bones, refused to treat him, and continued to abuse him. She's so cruel."

Tang Xiaolian asked timidly, "Uncle Police Officer, if we have the evidence and get our own benefits, can we not prosecute her?"

Du Sentian nodded, "We can settle. After the settlement, just go and drop the case. Make sure you get the agreement! Write down all the evidence that is favorable to you on the agreement."

Tang Xiaolian bowed slightly to Du Sentian, "Thank you, police officer."

"Alas~" Du Sentian sighed, "You are still too kind. Your old injury makes us feel sorry for you."

"It doesn't matter. I only get what I deserve. The rest is just a reward for my upbringing."

Dong Yunrong also sighed. No matter how angry she was with Jin Guizhi, she couldn't possibly stop Tang Xiaolian from repaying her kindness in raising her, could she? Well, she could just go get what she deserved and move her household registration.

As they talked, they walked to the car, where Ling Ran was already waiting.

After returning to the police station, Du Sendian carefully took a statement from Tang Xiaolian, and then accompanied Tang Xiaolian, Zhou Xiang and others to the department store's staff quarters.

Zhou Xiang secretly asked Ling Ran to find his aunt and ask her to call everyone who heard Jin Guizhi's swearing to the Tang family.

Du Sendian only glanced at Ling Ran as he left and did not stop him. It would be better to have more witnesses.

The Tang family's door was closed, and Zhou wanted to signal Tang Xiaolian to push the door.

Tang Xiaolian nodded and took a deep breath. After today, she would escape from this cage.

As soon as the door was pushed open, a shoe flew out, "You dead girl, you slutty vixen, you still remember to come back? Why don't you run away with someone else..."?

He swallowed the last three words after seeing the three people at the door.

"Officer Du, Miss Zhou Xiang, this is Dong Yunyue's sister, right?"

The three of them nodded slightly at her and walked into the living room.

Du Sentian spoke up, "Jin Guizhi, you have been abusing your adopted daughter for a long time. She has already reported the case. I am here to collect evidence."

Hearing the word "adopted daughter", Jin Guizhi's face changed, "Xiao Lian, I, I really treat you as my own daughter!"
