Chapter 390: Just a Family Dispute
Shen Qing glared at Chen Ma fiercely.
Mother Chen shrank her neck, her expression innocent and confused.
It was definitely not her who called the police.
It can't be a lady.
So, who called the police?
Could it be my brother-in-law?
But the attitude of the son-in-law just now clearly showed that he didn't want to care. If he was worried about the young lady, why didn't he come back himself?
If he had come back, things wouldn't have gotten to this point, and the young lady wouldn't have fallen down the stairs.
Mother Chen stood up and went to open the door for the police outside.
Shen Qing also gave up the idea of continuing to compete with Su Man for the child——
Even if you want to rob, you have to wait until the police leave.
The door opens.
Two uniformed police officers stood outside the door, their eyes sharp and their expressions serious. "We received a call from the public reporting a quarrel and a fight here. What's going on?"
Shen Qing wondered: They had argued earlier, but not so loudly that it could have been heard outside. Manyuan was a luxury residence, after all, with excellent soundproofing; it couldn't possibly have disturbed anyone. Who called the police?
"Haha, comrade police officer, is there any misunderstanding? We are all old, weak, women and children here, how could there be any fights or disputes?" Shen Qing went downstairs with a smile and went to the police.
A child's crying could be heard from the house.
The two policemen couldn't help but become alert.
Shen Qing quickly said: "There is a child at home. At night, he makes a fuss about sleeping and no matter how hard I try, he won't wake up."
The police were skeptical.
Looking at Chen Ma, Chen Ma lowered her head guiltily.
One of the policemen leaned in and tried to see what was going on inside the house.
However, there is still some distance from the gate to the yard, and the scene inside the house cannot be seen from outside the gate. Naturally, the police cannot see Su Man who is still lying on the stairs.
"It's really nothing. I guess the neighbors thought our kids were noisy and made a false report. Isn't that a waste of police resources?" Shen Qing smiled apologetically, "Thank you for the trip."
The two policemen looked at each other.
They softened their attitude and said to Shen Qing in a gentle voice, "Sorry to bother you. If you have any questions, please contact the police immediately."
After saying that, the two prepared to return to the police car.
At this time, Su Man's trembling cry for help came from inside the house:
"Please help me."
The call was weak and subtle.
If the police had not been sensitive enough, they would have missed Suman’s call for help.
They immediately turned around, brows raised, and asked Shen Qing: "What's going on?"
"this……"
Without waiting for Shen Qing to explain, the two pushed Shen Qing aside at the door and entered the house.
When the police entered the house, they saw Suman lying on the stairs.
Su Man had a big bump on her forehead, and the purple bruise was shocking to see.
She was holding a child in her arms, only about seven or eight months old.
Two policemen stepped forward and helped Su Man up. "Did you report the case?"
Su Man said weakly: "I didn't call the police, but I really need your help..."
"Tell us what happened. Don't be afraid. We are here," said the police officer.
At this time, Shen Qing and Chen Ma also followed in in a panic.
Su Man raised her hand with difficulty and pointed at Shen Qing, "She wants to snatch my child."
One of the policemen shot a stern look at Shen Qing.
"No, police comrade, listen to me." Shen Qing came over with a twist of his waist.
The police officer said, "Okay, go ahead and tell me. If you can't tell me the answer, I'll have to invite you back to the police station for tea."
Another police officer said, "Tell me, what happened? People have come to us for help, and you were just blocking the door, saying that nothing is wrong. Are you feeling guilty and trying to hide something from us police?"
"How could that be, comrade police officer? She is my niece. We are a family. The elders care about the younger ones, but the younger ones don't understand us elders, so some quarrels occurred. It is very common for a family to have some minor frictions and quarrels when emotions are aroused." Shen Qing deliberately led the conversation to the topic of "family dispute".
The two policemen exchanged glances again.
It is really difficult for them to interfere in family disputes.
Su Man looked at Shen Qing coldly, "What you call a family dispute is that you want to take my child away. I didn't want it, and you pushed me down the stairs, letting me and the child roll down the stairs. What you call caring about me is just watching coldly and letting me fall to the ground for so long."
Where the police couldn't see, Shen Qing glared at Su Man viciously.
In Shen Qing's opinion, Su Man is now really independent.
How dare you resist like this?
The police officer asked Shen Qing: "She said you wanted to take her child away, what's going on?"
Shen Qing approached the police officer and winked. "Comrade police officer, my niece has been suffering from postpartum depression since she gave birth. She has become highly sensitive and fragile. She feels like the sky is falling at the slightest disturbance. I just came to see the child and thought of taking her to live with me for a while to help her share some of the pressure. Who knew she would become so emotional? Look, she fell down the stairs by herself and blamed me."
After hearing what Shen Qing said, the two policemen looked at Su Man with a bit of suspicion and inquiry in their eyes.
Shen Qing lied with his eyes open, it was shameless. Su Man was very angry: "You can slander me, but it is a fact that you snatched the child. There is surveillance at home to prove it."
"Surveillance? Take it out. Where is it?"
"The living room and baby room at home are all monitored."
"Then take it out and let the police take a look." Shen Qing was not afraid at all.
Su Man already had a bad feeling in her heart.
He looked at Chen Ma, wanting her to check the surveillance footage.
Unexpectedly, Aunt Chen said timidly, "Miss... the surveillance camera broke down two days ago."
Su Man was stunned.
After she returned home, she never looked at the surveillance camera again and didn't know that it was broken.
"Oh, that's really unfortunate." Shen Qing gloated complacently, "Manman, didn't your aunt say that as a family, is it necessary to adjust the surveillance so that it will hurt the harmony? Even if the surveillance is adjusted, this matter will eventually be classified as a family dispute. Apart from making others laugh at our family, it will not benefit you at all."
There was a strong threat in her words.
Su Man wouldn't believe that the surveillance footage hadn't been tampered with.
The police officer mediated: "No matter what, violence is wrong. Since we are family, why can't we talk it out peacefully?"
"This is not an accident. No one wants bad things to happen." Shen Qing laughed.
Shen Qing is already an old hand at handling this kind of situation tactfully.
As she spoke, she walked to the stairs and tried to help Suman up.
Su Man resisted Shen Qing's touch, hugged Doudou, and avoided him. She did not negotiate with Shen Qing directly, but asked the police for help: "Please, let her leave."
Shen Qing frowned and said in a slightly cold tone: "Manman, I am your aunt, are you sure you want to treat me like this?"
Su Man had no expression on her face and repeated stiffly: "Let her go."
The police persuaded Shen Qing: "Madam, since your niece is emotionally unstable, you, as her aunt, should also be considerate of her and take care of her mood. Being a mother is not easy."
"I just want to share the pressure of raising a child with her." Shen Qing said.
Police officer: "We have to respect her personal wishes, otherwise it will only backfire."
Shen Qing changed his attitude and said, "Yes, you are right. It's just that I am too concerned."
Finally, Shen Qing left Manyuan at the urging of the police.
Shen Qing's car was in front.
The police car ran over it.
The pain in Su Man's body had subsided, and she followed them out the door and watched them leave.
She couldn't let her mind go 100% until she saw Shen Qing's car completely leave.
When the two cars finally disappeared completely in the night, Su Man let down her guard and was about to turn back to the house.
In the darkness of the night, a car light suddenly came on.
A bright light pierced the darkness of the alley, awakening Suman's dead cells.
Su Man's guard was raised again, and his eyes were fixed on the source of the light.
