Chapter 4 A Happy Day Trip to the Police Station
She looked at the man and woman standing side by side with annoyance, feeling timid, and prepared to play the family card.
"Su Meng, for the past ten years, I have always treated you as my own daughter. I have never raised my voice to you, nor have I laid a finger on you."
This time, Mom was confused; Mom overstepped her bounds and tried to educate you.
However, you were too cruel to Mom. Look at my face, it's swollen like a steamed bun.
"My child, I feel pain too."
She spoke through tears, downplaying the seriousness of the matter, her calm narration a veiled accusation.
This is an insinuation that Su Meng is disobedient and unfilial.
With each word she spoke, the Su family's contempt and dissatisfaction towards Su Meng grew stronger.
Second Grandma stood at the door, her cane thumping loudly as she added fuel to the fire with a booming voice: "Oh dear! This is outrageous!"
Cuilin, you're such a wimp.
"A brat like that deserves a good beating. If once isn't enough, give him a couple more. He'll be taught a lesson he won't tolerate."
She greedily scanned everything in the room.
A large bed made of rosewood, soft silk quilts, genuine leather sofas, jewelry boxes stacked on the dressing table, and expensive ornaments everywhere.
These all belong to the Su family.
Why should only the eldest son's family be entitled to this?
Why is it all this little bitch's fault?
She's just a little girl, she's not worthy at all.
Life had worn down Second Grandma's spirit, and she spent her days humbly trying to please Shen Wuyang and Zhong Cuilin, hoping they would let a little money slip through their fingers.
But deep down she was defiant.
She was an elder in the Su family, and everything in the Su family should be hers to enjoy.
She couldn't do anything to the adults, but she harbored resentment towards the weak and young Su Meng.
Throughout history, stepmothers and their stepchildren have often been irreconcilable enemies.
She most wanted to see them tear each other apart.
Su Meng glanced at the aged face, nonchalantly waved the syringe in her hand, put one hand on her hip, and raised her chin. "Tch! Who dares?"
After saying that, he pushed aside the Second Grandmother's family who were blocking his way, and turned to go downstairs.
Grandma was knocked around and staggered, howling angrily, "That beast, how dare he knock me?"
Ouch! It hurts so much, I'm injured, I can't move.
"Mianzhi, you must compensate me, or I'll never forgive you!"
Shen Wuyang had long been fed up with the vampires from the second wife's family.
Hearing his second aunt's blatant extortion once again, he glared at her unhappily and said coldly, "Second Aunt, that's enough."
Master Su was surprised that the usually easy-going person would give them such a hard time, and his face immediately darkened. "Mianzhi, she is your second aunt. How can you talk to her like that?"
Shen Wuyang snorted coldly, walked past Master Su and left the room first, leaving behind the words: "All of you, get out!"
Huo Zhenhua never expected that his act of kindness in delivering some items would lead to him being tricked by a twist of fate.
He fiddled with a silver lighter in frustration, his cold gaze sweeping over Zhong Cuilin and Zhong Wanrou.
It's hard to tell who plotted against me.
I want to leave now.
But when he saw the girl holding a microphone with the cord unplugged in one hand, locked in a stalemate with Shen Wuyang like a fighting rooster, he stopped.
Huo Zhenhua knew that if Su Meng hadn't administered the acupuncture in time, he might have made a mistake or become disabled.
He couldn't just stand by and watch her get into trouble.
"Did you call the police?" he asked.
Su Meng turned around in surprise and nodded, "I've signed up."
"Reported? How could that be?" Shen Wuyang threw the phone in front of Su Meng in disbelief.
He pointed at Su Meng and yelled, "How can you be so insensible? What's wrong with your mother saying a few words to you?"
Do you know you've caused trouble?
"If the Su family falls, you won't have an easy time either."
In the current situation, everyone is on edge and wants to keep a low profile.
Especially capitalists like the Su family, they wish they could flee on the spot at any moment.
The so-called "cutting off the capitalist tail" not only involves confiscating all family property, but also demoting people according to the severity of their crimes.
If someone is sent to the countryside, it's like going from heaven to hell; almost no one can endure the "hellish" life.
Hearing Shen Wuyang's rebuke, Su Meng threw the microphone at him even harder, "Then none of us will have an easy time!"
"You can't all be living the high life while I'm left to suffer in the elements."
Since they've practically emptied the Su family's assets, she has no intention of letting them go to Hong Kong to enjoy themselves.
Upon hearing her words, the Su family members were both angry and afraid, and surprisingly, they united to rebuke her.
Therefore, she did not notice the gourd mark flashing on her wrist, nor did she notice Huo Zhenhua's probing gaze and ever-changing expression.
At this moment, Huo Zhenhua, who was deeply influenced by materialism, stared at Su Meng with a puzzled expression.
He was certain that Su Meng only said, "Then none of us should have an easy time. You can't all be eating and drinking well while I'm left to suffer in the wind and rain."
As for the later sentence, "They have almost emptied the Su family's assets, so she doesn't want to let them go to Hong Kong to have fun."
He would swear on his life that Su Meng hadn't uttered a sound.
But he heard it.
What exactly happened?
Before he could figure it out, two policemen walked in.
Who called the police?
“It’s me.” Su Meng raised her right hand to greet her.
Ignoring Shen Wuyang's warning look, she quickly explained the whole story.
“Comrade, these are their tools of the crime.” Su Meng presented the syringe.
Zhong Cuilin's face was ashen, and she tugged at Shen Wuyang's clothes, pleading in a trembling voice: "Master, you must do justice for me."
I'm innocent. I... I was just too hasty in my actions.
Shen Wuyang hesitated for a moment, then glared fiercely at Zhong Cuilin.
He bowed and scraped to the police officer, saying, "Comrade, this is just a small misunderstanding between the mother and daughter."
Look at the mess this has made! Sigh! Thank you all for your hard work.
As he spoke, he handed each of them a pack of cigarettes.
Su Meng laughed in anger, crossed her arms, and retorted righteously: "Misunderstanding? The murder weapon was made by Dr. Zheng Yunting, that is an indisputable fact."
Zheng Yunting was invited by Zhong Cuilin.
Furthermore, it is an undeniable fact that Zhong Cuilin repeatedly attempted to seize and destroy the murder weapon.
You're trying to mislead people and bribe your superiors. Ha! How capable you are!
A fleeting look of panic crossed Zhong Cuilin's face.
She calmed down in the blink of an eye and said earnestly, "Xiaomeng, don't be willful, okay?"
From now on, whatever you say goes, I won't care anymore.
Look, you've already hit her and made a scene, Mom won't pursue the matter.
Comrades are people who will do great things; let's not waste their time, okay?
She raised her swollen face and pleaded bitterly, much like a helpless mother disciplining her rebellious child.
The two policemen frowned, unable to immediately discern whether it was true or false.
Huo Zhenhua coughed lightly and showed his identification. "Comrade, I can vouch for the truth of what Comrade Su Meng said."
The Su family fell completely silent!
With Huo Zhenhua's testimony, the fact that Zhong Cuilin and Zheng Yunting intended to poison someone was established.
Su Meng curled the corners of her lips and, using her sleeve as cover, flicked the powder from her fingers at Zheng Yunting.
The next second, Zheng Yunting, who was about to argue, immediately curled up in pain and screamed, "It hurts! It hurts so much! Help me!"
I'm poisoned!
"Officer, please help me!"
"Poisoned?" The police immediately connected Zheng Yunting to the case. "Is he the doctor who reaped what he sowed?"
Su Meng nodded, "Yes!"
Zhong Cuilin stepped in front of Zheng Yunting, still trying to cover up: "He, he's sick, he's delirious and talking nonsense."
"Officer, this is just a family dispute, you don't need to bother with us."
The long-faced policeman raised his eyebrows and glared, "Do you think we're fools?"
"How dare they obstruct official business! Take them all away!"
Thus, Su Meng happily enjoyed a day trip to the police station to celebrate her eighteenth birthday.
