Chapter 139 Mu Xiaowan Gets Beaten

No, she can't just sit here and wait to die.

It must be that bitch Mu Xiaowan who already contacted people from the Public Security Bureau to deliberately make things difficult for her.

"I was momentarily blinded by greed and did something wrong, but I didn't cause any harm. I just burned some firewood. Why are you making such a big deal out of it?"

Chu Shaoting slammed her hands on the table arrogantly, "I see you're all in cahoots with Mu Xiaowan. How much have you taken from her? You know what kind of family we are. Mu Xiaowan is an outsider whom our Chu family married into. I am the daughter of the Chu family. Don't get your priorities mixed up."

“If you really lock me up, my family will not let you off the hook.”

Chu Shaoting had no choice but to reveal her family's identity, but the police remained unfazed, displaying an air of ignorance and fearlessness, completely disregarding her words.

Little did Chu Shaoting know that the two interrogators were indeed newly appointed rookies, fearless and naive. They were full of enthusiasm, adhering to the principles of impartiality and selflessness in handling official business. Besides, they had absolutely no idea what the Chu family did.

"Chu Shaoting, how dare you act so recklessly in the Public Security Bureau? You have openly slandered public officials, and you will bear legal responsibility for that."

“Your act of hiring someone to set fire to the property was intentional, and you have committed the act of setting fire, which constitutes the crime of arson.” The young police officer said sternly, “Moreover, you hired someone to burn down other people’s property. This act of arson endangers public safety, so it is the crime of intentional damage to property and the crime of arson.”

"Depending on the specific circumstances, you could be sentenced to imprisonment for three to ten years. If the arson results in serious consequences, such as serious injury, death, or significant damage to public or private property, you could face even more severe criminal penalties, including life imprisonment or the death penalty. You're fortunate that you didn't cause personal injury or property damage; otherwise, even the most severe punishment wouldn't be enough."

Chu Shaoting's initial fear stemmed from her worry that if she were locked up for a day or two, how could she possibly endure it?

But now that the police are talking about three or ten years, criminal penalties, life imprisonment and so on, what will happen to her in the future?

Grandpa doesn't care about her, and he won't let Mom and Dad care about her either. If they did care about her, they wouldn't have let her leave the Chu family home today.

If they don't take any action, is she really going to go to jail?

Chu Shaoting grew increasingly anxious. She had been out for a while, and none of her family members had followed her. Were they really going to abandon her?

Chu Shaoting became more and more anxious and frightened as she thought about it.

In an instant, his face turned deathly pale, as if all the color had been drained from his body.

Suddenly, her limbs twitched and she fell backward. A policeman reacted quickly, flipping over the table to catch Chu Shaoting and preventing her from hitting the ground with the back of her head.

Mu Xiaowan saw this scene as soon as she entered the room. She quickly called for help, and a group of people rushed Chu Shaoting to the hospital.

Ye Jincheng had been listening in another room, and when he heard the noise, he quickly ran over from the other side.

"what happened?"

"It doesn't seem like he's faking it; he's probably just scared."

"You have no guts but you still dare to do bad things. Should I notify the Chu family now?"

"They're probably on their way to the police station. It's good to let them know now, so as to minimize the chances of my second uncle having something to say about them."

Chu Junbai had his subordinate make a phone call, and then he got into the car.

"Having already offended them by doing this today, I'm not afraid of anything they might say. What I'm worried about is whether Chu Shaoting has some kind of illness?"

If Chu Shaoting really has some kind of illness, then today is going to be troublesome.

If the Chu family uses this to cause trouble for them, they will have no way to defend themselves.

It was already a futile effort, so now we can only hope for the best.

Ye Jincheng looked at Mu Xiaowan. Not to mention them, Mu Xiaowan could not escape the Chu family's wrath either.

Should he have agreed to Mu Xiaowan's request so readily? Should he have discussed it with Chu Junbai first? Now he doesn't dare to discuss it with Chu Junbai because he's afraid of being scolded.

They had just arrived at the hospital and taken Chu Shaoting into the emergency room when Chu's family arrived shortly after.

Ye Jincheng and Mu Xiaowan both saw surprise in each other's eyes.

Ye Jincheng was about to explain.

"Snapped!"

Suddenly, a loud slap rang out, and a clear handprint appeared on Mu Xiaowan's face.

She was completely stunned and stood there dumbfounded.

Ye Jincheng snapped out of his daze and used half of his body to block Mu Xiaowan, "Grandma Chu, what are you doing? This isn't Xiao Mu's fault."

The old lady didn't even look at him; her eyes were scorching Mu Xiaowan.

"You troublemaker! If it weren't for you, our Shaoting wouldn't have been sent here. If anything happens to her, I will never let you off the hook."

Grandma Chu had long harbored a deep hatred for Mu Xiaowan, and just now, worried about her, she urged Chu Huaimin to take her to the police station. Unexpectedly, upon arriving at the police station, she learned that Chu Shaoting had been taken to the hospital.

She wished she could kill Mu Xiaowan, that troublemaker.

Bai Jiao'e was also seething with hatred, but she couldn't and dared not let Jiang Yinglan have her way.

Today, the old lady vented her anger.

"Mom, don't worry, let's go check on Shaoting."

Bai Jiao'e seemed to be comforting the old lady, but she sighed deeply after she finished speaking.

“My Shaoting, she’s never had any health problems since she was born. How did she end up in the hospital? Please don’t let anything happen to her. She’s my only daughter. If anything happens to her, I won’t be able to live.”

The group helped the old lady to the emergency room.

Wait for everyone to leave.

Ye Jincheng looked at Mu Xiaowan, stretched out one hand again and again, and finally put it down.

He didn't know how to comfort Mu Xiaowan.

Finally, he turned and left.

Mu Xiaowan's cheeks burned with pain.

That old lady really went too far.

How can she get her revenge?

Mu Xiaowan originally planned to go back, but then she thought again and decided that she couldn't go back first.

Judging by the speed of the old ladies, they must have caught up with her shortly after she left home. Presumably, her family knows by now and they should be on their way.

She felt she had been wronged by the old lady and wanted others to know about her grievances.

Ye Jincheng returned with a cold compress in his hand. "Use this to apply to your face."

As the two were talking, Chu Huaizhi's voice came from the stairwell.

"Xiao Wan, I heard Shao Ting brought him here. Where is he now? How is he?"

Unexpectedly, not only her parents-in-law, but also her father-in-law and Chu Shaoting came.

Ye Jincheng handed the ice pack to Mu Xiaowan and greeted the elders.

"He has been taken to the emergency room, and the doctor has not come out yet."

At this moment, Jiang Yinglan noticed Mu Xiaowan's face.

"Xiao Wan, what happened to your face? Who hit you?"

Mu Xiaowan shook her head. "Mom, I'm fine."

"How could such a heavy handprint go unpunished? Tell me what happened. Even if your father and I can't make a decision for you, there's still your grandfather, isn't there?"

Jiang Yinglan thought it was Bai Jiao'e who did it.
