The woman panicked and, without thinking of leaving, quickly stopped and covered the little boy's mouth!
The scene fell into a deathly silence!
Almost everyone turned to look at Qiao Wanwan!
Her exquisitely beautiful face was taut, and her shoulders trembled slightly, revealing the immense rage she was feeling!
Her red eyes looked at Xiao Jiu on the stage, who was covering her ears, her eyes filled with anger, heartache, and sadness!
Zhao Youguang suddenly realized what was happening and hurriedly waved his hand, "What are you all standing there for? Take the child and let's go!"
Before the woman could leave, she heard Qiao Wanwan's icy voice, "Stop right there."
She was so frightened that she didn't dare to move!
Qiao Wanwan closed her eyes, suppressing the anger in her chest, turned around, and walked step by step to the woman, coldly saying, "Are you going to pretend you didn't say those words just now?"
The woman swallowed hard, trying to suppress her fear, and explained, "Madam Zhan, you've misunderstood. The child is young and doesn't understand; he was just talking nonsense..."
"Is that so?" Qiao Wanwan curled her lips into a cold smile. "Since it's a misunderstanding, just explain it clearly."
"Yes, yes, I'll explain. The child wanted a toy, and because he couldn't get it, he got anxious and started talking nonsense. He's only half a year older than Xiao Jiu, so I hope Madam Zhan won't take it to heart..."
“I believe that people will say some uncontrollable curses when they are extremely angry. If he called Xiao Jiu a bad guy, I might be able to understand, but it is impossible for him to blurt out the words ‘little monster’. Moreover, he said it so smoothly, it must be something he usually says!”
"Madam Zhan, how can you accuse someone like that? He's just a child! How can you judge him like that!" The woman was extremely aggrieved and called over the other two children. "Zhuangzhuang, tell me, have you ever heard your little brother call Xiao Jiu 'little monster'?"
The two older children shook their heads.
“Madam Zhan, did you see that? They all say no. I remember you said a few days ago that children don’t lie.”
Qiao Wanwan laughed instead of getting angry, "You're quite good at applying what you've learned. I said I believe my child wouldn't lie, but I didn't say your child wouldn't."
woman:"......"
"Madam Zhan, if you insist on smearing my child, I have nothing more to say!"
“I don’t need to smear you, because you’re already dirty enough,” Qiao Wanwan said, word by word. “I’m a person who believes in reason and evidence; everything is based on evidence.”
"Where did you get the evidence?" the woman retorted confidently. "Just because a five-year-old child swore a couple of times in a state of extreme loss of control, does that count as evidence?"
“Of course not, but don’t try to cover up what you’ve done!” Qiao Wanwan said, “Jiangdong.”
The door opened, and Jiang Dong entered with several bodyguards, each carrying a piece of equipment.
"Let me introduce this to you all," Qiao Wanwan said with a faint smile. "This is the world's most advanced lie detector, which is now in use in police stations in China. Since your Zhao family has a consistent story, claiming that you have never bullied my son, then you should not be afraid to undergo a lie detector test, right?"
The adults in the Zhao family were all in a panic!
The children had no concept of lie detectors, so they all looked blank.
Zhao Youguang stepped forward and said, "Madam Zhan, tonight's banquet was specially organized by you to thank our Zhao family for raising Xiao Jiu. Is your current behavior an act of repaying kindness with enmity?"
"I, Qiao Wanwan, have always been one to repay kindness with kindness and revenge with revenge." Qiao Wanwan looked at him, "But if I treat my enemy as my benefactor, wouldn't I be making a fool of myself? So naturally, I must find out the truth."
"However, since you insist that I am repaying kindness with enmity, we cannot rule out that possibility. How about this, you take a lie test. If I have really wronged you, to express my apology, I will give each member of your family one hundred million yuan as compensation for raising my son for five years. How about that?"
Zhao Youguang: "..."
The Zhao family members were not happy at all; instead, they became increasingly panicked!
"Madam Zhan, this isn't about money. A lie detector test is an insult to us. We'd rather die than be humiliated!" Zhao Youguang said indignantly. "If you don't trust us, then we'd rather not eat this meal today. Second brother, let's go!"
Qiao Wanwan was getting a little tired of standing, so she slowly sat down on a chair nearby. "Mr. Zhao, do you think you can leave this room today without my permission?"
Zhao Youguang was taken aback, then suddenly realized, "Madam Zhan, isn't this a trap? You specially hosted a banquet and invited our whole family here, just waiting for this to happen, right?"
“Mr. Zhao, it’s just a lie detector test, it’s not like it’s going to cut off a piece of your flesh, what are you afraid of? Are you feeling guilty?” Qiao Wanwan retorted.
"Why would I feel guilty!" Zhao Youguang's brain was racing. "This is your territory, and you've been prepared all along. You brought the lie detector, so I think it will give you whatever result you want!"
Qiao Wanwan couldn't help but applaud. "Mr. Zhao reacted quickly, finding a breakthrough so fast with the lie detector. However, what you can think of, I can also think of, so..."
Jiang Dong, who had left sometime earlier, soon returned with two uniformed police officers. He said, "Mr. Zhao, these two officers are here to witness this. If you think our lie detector is faulty, you can use the police station's lie detector. The equipment is ready and waiting outside."
Zhao Youguang: "..."
The rest of the Zhao family: "......"
The little boy, who was being held by the woman, saw the police and immediately exclaimed excitedly, "Officer, please help me! My mom hit me!"
Everyone: "......"
Zhan Yin laughed until his stomach hurt. "Is this guy a complete idiot?"
The woman's face darkened, and she raised her hand to slap the little boy. "Shut up! You troublesome brat!"
The police officer frowned and said in a businesslike manner, "Madam, abusing children is illegal. Please stop."
The woman finally calmed down.
Zhao Youguang spoke again, "Madam Zhan, this is the capital, your territory. The police you've hired probably won't handle this fairly..."
Qiao Wanwan chuckled, "First you questioned the lie detector, and now you're questioning the police. Mr. Zhao, you're really something."
“I’m just stating the facts, and I hope Madam Zhan won’t take offense,” Zhao Youguang said. “Actually, things didn’t have to escalate to this point. If you don’t like us, we can just leave.”
Qiao Wanwan said coldly, "I said, none of you are allowed to leave this room without my permission."
Zhao Youguang immediately seized on this, "Madam Zhan, are you saying you're going to illegally detain us? The police are still here. Does the Zhan family really think they can disregard the law?!"
