After Xia Wan casually said "I was arrested by the police," the entire ward fell into a deathly silence.
Immediately afterwards, suspicious and hostile gazes shot straight at the Xia family like sharp arrows.
His gaze seemed to see right through the Xia family, as if he were worried they might do something to harm them, making every member of the Xia family present feel uneasy, as if they had thorns in their backs.
The suffocating atmosphere made the Xia family members unwilling to stay there for even a second longer.
However, at that moment, Xia Jianjun could no longer contain his anger. He suddenly stood up, his eyes wide with fury, and shouted at Xia Wan:
"What nonsense are you talking about? Your older cousin has clearly been framed. We're going to the police station to bring him back right away! Get out of here and stop getting in my way!"
As he spoke, he pointed to the door, signaling Xia Wan to leave quickly and stop talking nonsense.
She thought Li Cao and Grandma Xia hadn't had a chance to talk yet, but she was wrong.
It turned out that just now, in order to prevent others from knowing about her eldest son's affairs, Li Cao had secretly called Xia Jianjun outside and whispered some instructions to him.
But who could have imagined that, in the blink of an eye, Xia Wan would expose this matter without any mercy.
Despite Xia Jianjun's reprimand, Xia Wan remained unusually calm and composed.
A slight smile played on her lips as she calmly replied, "Oh dear, look how worried you are, Uncle. I was just saying it casually, I really didn't mean anything by it. I just came to let you know, after all, the brigade leader personally came to our house today to deliver this message."
In fact, Xia Wan was perfectly aware of Xia Jianjun's ulterior motives.
However, how could she so easily grant his wish? Trying to hide this matter was simply a pipe dream; it was impossible to keep it from everyone's eyes and ears.
"Alright, get back here right now. This is none of your business!" Xia Jianjun glared at Xia Wan, who was rambling on, and reprimanded her sternly, "Instead of taking care of your father at home, why are you running around like a headless fly all day?"
Hearing this, Xia Wan showed a learned expression and muttered, "My aunt specifically told me to go to the district police station with her today, but it seems like this trip was a waste of time."
Then, she looked at Xia Jianjun with a sweet expression and said softly, "Grandpa, you can rest here and relax. My older cousin is fine. Although he was caught red-handed, he shouldn't get a long sentence. Don't worry too much about him. I'll go back and take care of my dad now."
As soon as she finished speaking, Xia Wan didn't give anyone else a chance to speak. She turned around without hesitation and strode quickly out of the ward.
She thought to herself that she had to get home as soon as possible and tell Lao Xia everything that had happened to her that day, so that he would be more vigilant and take precautions.
After all, it's not a long-term solution for her to be on guard all the time. Only when the whole family works together to defend against the virus can we ensure that nothing goes wrong.
Otherwise, even if she can handle the current situation for the time being, it is hard to guarantee that no unexpected situations will arise in the future!
At this moment, the atmosphere in the ward was unusually tense, and everyone seemed somewhat anxious and uneasy.
Li Cao originally wanted to stop Xia Wan, but she suddenly stopped because she felt someone tugging at her clothes. Turning around, she saw that it was Xia Jianjun who had pulled her.
"Jianjun, what do you mean by this? Why are you stopping me? We need to stop Xia Wan right now and go to the police station with her to report the case. Maybe that can save Shitou!" Li Cao said anxiously.
Xia Jianjun frowned and lowered his voice, saying, "Don't be impulsive, don't rush. I think we can't act blindly; we need to calm down and think carefully about what to do."
Li Cao stamped her foot anxiously: "But what if we don't hurry and miss the best opportunity?"
Xia Jianjun took a deep breath and said slowly, "I know you're worried about Shi Tou, but the situation is too complicated right now."
If we act rashly, it might put Shi Tou in even greater danger. We need to understand the specific situation first before deciding what to do next. Li Cao gritted her teeth, still very worried.
She understood that at this critical moment, they had to remain calm and rational, and not make wrong decisions due to momentary impulse.
However, her gaze remained fixed on the door of the ward, and she silently prayed that everything would be alright.
Xia Jianjun frowned, impatiently tugged at his wife, and scolded loudly, "What can a little girl like her do? Don't make trouble here! Hurry up and get your father ready, the third brother and I are going to the police station to ask about the situation."
He knew in his heart that this matter was difficult to handle, but he was not at a loss.
Xia Wan is just a teenage girl, how much ability could she possibly have? And how could she possibly be of any help?
Li Cao was pulled back forcefully by him and unable to chase after him in time. She said anxiously, "Have you forgotten? The Public Security Bureau even gave Xia Wan a banner before!"
Xia Wan seemed quite familiar with those two police officers, their relationship appeared to be quite close. Perhaps she really did have influence within the police station!
However, Xia Jianjun glanced at her dismissively and said scornfully, "What do women know? It's just a banner they sent. It's been several days. Who would remember her now?"
He simply couldn't believe that a little girl could be more capable than him.
In his view, women are inherently inferior to men, especially young girls like Xia Wan who are not yet married.
He himself didn't know anyone from the Public Security Bureau, so how could Xia Wan, a mere girl, possibly know them? Thinking of this, most of his doubts immediately dissipated.
On the other side, Xia Wan rode her bicycle leisurely, silently recalling what Sister Zhao had told her.
It seems that person in Beijing has spent a lot of time and money on something, and their methods are quite ruthless. They actually wanted to harm her father with Old Lady Xia!
I wonder what kind of surprised and annoyed expressions they'll have when they realize her father is no longer under their control.
Now that Old Man Xia is lying in bed unable to move, and only the old lady is left, she can't cause any trouble.
If all else fails, then we should try to paralyze Grandma Xia as well, so that the two of them can lie neatly in their hospital beds.
