The loud noise, combined with the calm and resolute voice, immediately silenced the chaotic scene.
All eyes were focused on Shen Jingyan.
Shen Jingyan walked into the crowd and scanned the group with sharp eyes.
Those whose gaze fell upon her couldn't help but feel a chilling coldness.
They didn't know how such a young woman could have such a powerful aura.

"What are you trying to do, breaking into our home so early in the morning and making such a racket? We have elderly people and children in our family. If something happens to them, can you take responsibility? Your behavior is illegal and criminal! If we call the police right now, you will be taken away immediately and questioned!"
These people originally thought they were the ones who came to demand an explanation, but they were outmaneuvered right away.
The key point is that Shen Jingyan didn't say a single wrong word, which rendered them all mute, leaving them with no excuse to refute her.
Qin Yuehe knew Shen Jingyan's courage and boldness well. Besides, they were in the wrong to begin with, only causing trouble because they outnumbered her.
So she stepped forward and said, "Jingya, don't be angry. We've come to find out what happened."
She and Zhou Lianjie received a call from the police station early this morning.
Upon learning that their son had committed serious crimes such as kidnapping, extortion, imprisonment, and abuse, the couple were so frightened they nearly fainted.
The parents of the young men who usually hung out with Zhou Zhengqing also received phone calls saying that their sons were involved in crimes such as kidnapping.
These people were all terrified and ran to the Zhou family before dawn.
Zhou Lianjie and Qin Yuehe then decided to go all the way and brought these people to the Xu family.

They claimed to be demanding an explanation, but they were actually there to cause trouble.
How could Shen Jingyan not know their purpose?
They just wanted to rely on their superior numbers to force the Xu family to compromise and make concessions!
What a pipe dream!
Shen Jingyan looked at Qin Yuehe coldly, her eyes filled with disdain.
I wonder if Old Master Qin knew in the afterlife that his daughter had raised a criminal son and was now coming to argue and defend him. Would he be so angry that he would lift the coffin lid?
Qin Yuehe and Zhou Lianjie felt guilty when they saw Shen Jingyan's disdainful look. They knew very well that they were the ones in the wrong.
But for their son's sake, they had to argue their case!
"What does Aunt Qin want to know? You should go to the police station to ask, instead of coming to my house to make trouble. We are both parties involved and victims. We have the right to remain silent, which is a right granted to us by law."
"Who are you? Can a little girl like you speak on behalf of the Xu family?" someone shouted defiantly.

Calmly, she replied, "I am the one who received the kidnapping ransom note, and I am also the victim's sister. Who are you to speak for anyone?"
The man was speechless and could only stare blankly.
Qin Yuehe knew that the more people there were, the more chaotic things would become, and the more chaotic things would become, the less communication would be possible. Provoking the Xu family was not a wise choice.
Shen Jingyan, in particular, is the most difficult to deal with.
She winked at Zhou Lianjie.
Zhou Lianjie said to the large group of people, "Everyone, please wait outside. We're here to reason with them, so let's not cause any trouble."
The Xu family found this statement utterly ironic.
After making such a fuss for so long, they still have the nerve to say they're here to reason with people?
It seems that a high level of education does not necessarily equate to high quality.
Bringing a group of people to someone's home to cause trouble—this is something a high-ranking official would actually do!
Zhou Lianjie still held some prestige in the eyes of this group of people. After Zhou Lianjie persuaded them, they withdrew from the Xu family's living room.
"We will not leave until we get an explanation for what happened today!"
"So what if he's a professor? Even professors can't bully others just because they're powerful!"
A few troublemakers were still cursing and swearing.
Zhou Lianjie offered a few more kind words of advice, and only then did these people leave through the gate.
Old Xu's face was still pale, and Yuanyuan was still sobbing in Xu Yatong's arms.
"Grandpa, let me help you upstairs to rest for a bit," Feifei said.
Old Xu glanced at Zhou Lianjie and Qin Yuehe with concern.
"Grandpa, with Sister Jingya here, what are you worried about?" Feifei whispered to comfort him.
She said calmly, "Grandpa, please go upstairs and rest. We'll take care of things here."
With Feifei's help, Old Man Xu went upstairs.
Xu Yatong coaxed Yuanyuan into going upstairs to the bedroom with Xue Hongmei and Xue Yi.
The living room finally quieted down. Xu Honglin, having suppressed his anger towards Manchester United, said with great composure:
"Please have a seat, both of you. You've been shouting for most of the day, you must be tired."
Zhou Lianjie sat on the sofa with an air of superiority, as if he were the one with the right and the evidence.
"Professor Xu, Professor Qiao, we didn't come here to cause trouble on purpose. Think about it, those people outside are all parents. They heard early this morning that their child had inexplicably ended up in the police station. How could they not be worried?"
Shen Jingyan sneered, "You're right, you should be worried. I'll call Officer Liu right now, or we can go to the police station and have the officers explain the case, so you don't feel like your son has been wronged."
