"Sister Wantang, a man in a wheelchair came into the shop and said he wanted to see you for a medical checkup," Zhou Yu said.

Su Wantang went downstairs.

Seeing Huo Zhan for the first time was somewhat unexpected, but upon reflection, it made perfect sense.

"Comrade Huo, I made myself very clear that day. Now that you've come, my answer remains the same: I cannot cure your illness."

"Comrade Su, please don't get agitated. Let me finish what I have to say."

......

"Sister-in-law, something's happened." Yue Tao's voice pulled Su Wantang back to reality.

Su Wantang's tone was cold: "What's wrong?"

“You told us to keep an eye on that woman. She smashed someone’s head open, and the family that was hit yelled at us to take them to the police station.”

Just as Yue Tao finished speaking, Fu Jing walked out from behind him.

"Comrade Su, your mother is suspected of intentional assault. Please come with us."

Yue Tao stammered, "Sister-in-law, that's...that's...your mother..."

Su Wantang only instructed Yue Tao to keep an eye on Song Wanying. Yue Tao didn't know Song Wanying's identity, otherwise he would have definitely stepped in to break up the fight.

Ignoring Yue Tao's shock, Su Wantang said to Fu Jing, "May I say a few words?"

"A police car was parked at the entrance of the alley."

Leaving behind those words, Fu Jing turned around decisively, his long legs quickly disappearing from their sight.

"Yue Tao, you don't need to worry about the rest, I'll handle it. Now, you and Wang Quan should immediately do what I say, understand?"

"Okay, sister-in-law."

"Remember to be quick." Su Wantang took out a few ten-yuan bills and stuffed them into Yue Tao's hand.

...

After giving Yue Tao his instructions, Su Wantang arrived at the alley entrance.

As soon as the police car pulled away, Su Wantang saw Song Wanying trembling in the back seat.

She seemed surprised; her face was deathly pale.

Isn't that right?

Song Wanying remembered that after that person told her "Cui Cui is dead," she couldn't accept it for a moment. In a fit of emotion, she rushed up and grabbed Huo Xiaoyan's neck, but before she could reach the old hag, she was thrown away by the old hag with a forceful shove.

She fell to the ground, her new coat was frayed and pilled from the friction, and her arms were burning with pain.

Song Wanying, already seething with anger, turned red-eyed and, ignoring the women who rushed over to break up the fight, grabbed Huo Xiaoyan's arm and was about to slap her across the face.

In the chaos, someone shoved a palm-sized stone into her hand. She instinctively grabbed it and felt a sudden loosening of her grip. Without thinking, she picked up the stone and slapped Huo Xiaoyan on the forehead.

Bang!

The whole place was bright red.

Thick, warm blood gushed out.

...

"Comrade Su, please get in the car first." Noticing someone stop and look in their direction, Fu Jing reminded him.

Noticing Su Wantang's gaze, Fu Jing explained, "On the way back from arresting Comrade Song, she claimed to be your mother. Since you are a family member and someone who needs to be notified, I made a detour."

Family members?

Song Wanying, who was cowering in fear, paused for a moment, then glanced over and saw Su Wantang. The moment she saw Su Wantang, she became excited.

“Wantang, Wantang, believe your mother. I didn’t hit her on the head. She rushed over on her own. Her bleeding has nothing to do with me,” Song Wanying said incoherently.

As she spoke, she got off her seat and reached out to grab Su Wantang, waving her hands.

Fu Jing glanced at him and called out, "Xiao Zheng."

The next second, Zheng Minghui grabbed Song Wanying's shoulder and forced her back into her seat: "You better behave yourself."

Song Wanying murmured twice but didn't speak, though her eyes were fixed on Su Wantang, screaming, "Save me!"

Su Wantang got into the car, the door closed, and Fu Jing took the initiative to speak.

According to onlookers, when Comrade Song heard the news of Liu Cuicui's death, she became frantic and rushed forward to try to strangle Huo Xiaoyan, but was pushed away and fell to the ground. Afterwards, she picked up a stone and got up, intending to hit Huo Xiaoyan on the head, but accidentally injured the aunt who was trying to break up the fight.

Song Wanying screamed, "That's not how it is! Someone forced a stone on me!"

Fu Jing glanced at Song Wanying: "Comrade Song, please calm down. This is just the testimony of bystanders. Once we get to the police station, we will interrogate you. We will find the evidence to determine who is lying."

Song Wanying breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Fu Jing then looked at Su Wantang: "Comrade Su, although the injured person has been sent to the hospital for a forensic examination, based on my years of experience handling cases, the head injury isn't serious, but he's quite troublesome. Be prepared; if the other party insists on pursuing the matter, your mother might..."

What could it be?

Going to jail?

When this thought popped into Song Wanying's mind, she felt terrible.

She doesn't want to!!!

Before she could speak again, Fu Jing continued, "If all the evidence points to your mother being accidentally injured, I will do my best to help you mediate."

Is this what it means to know someone?

Song Wanying was stunned for a moment.

Then, seeing a glimmer of hope, she tried to grab Su Wantang, but Zheng Minghui quickly pressed her down.

"Wantang, Mom—"

She had just started shouting when she saw Zheng Minghui, who was frowning at Captain Fu, look around but couldn't find anything suitable. In a moment of impulsiveness, he took off his shoes and stuffed his smelly socks into Song Wanying's mouth.

Song Wanying had only taken one sip when the whites of her eyes rolled back.

She felt faint, but the stench that kept assaulting her nose kept her alert.

Su Wantang raised her eyebrows slightly, her eyes showing admiration: "Captain Fu's subordinates are indeed different."

Fu Jing's expression changed slightly: "I'm sorry, I was a bit rough. Please excuse me."
