Chapter 515: Hold You Responsible
Translator: Tuiwen Editor: Tuiwen
Liu Zhi pointed a bleeding finger at Yao Tang. “That’s her! That’s the girl who injured me and drugged my mother-in-law! She even attacked my wife!”
When the officer looked over and saw that they were pointing at an eighteen-year-old girl, he paused. But then he remembered everything that Liu Zhihad said earlier, and knew that he had a duty to answer a citizen’s call.
“Miss, would you come here for a moment, please?”
But Yao Tang only ignored him and went straight into the bedroom.
“Officer, you must apprehend her right away!” Liu Zhiwhined.
!!
“She used needles on my mother-in-law, and now she’s trying to feed her something suspicious. You have to do something! I don’t even know how my mother-in-law is doing as we speak.”
While his words were urgent, he made sure to hide behind the policemen and keep a distance from Yao Tang.
Xu Hong was right beside him, treating the police as their human shields. She nodded frantically as a show of support.
She grabbed Liu Zhi’s arm and pointed at his throat, and a silent communication pa.s.sed between the two.
“Yes, yes. You see, Officer, in order to stop that girl from doing anything to my mother-in-law, my wife tried to wrestle with her. But the brat forced a pill down my poor wife’s throat, and now she can’t speak anymore!”
Xu Hong nodded at the officers pitifully.
Tears streamed down her face as she clutched her neck and cried in silence.
It was all the police needed to hear, and they marched into the bedroom.
At that moment, Xu XuanandQin Jingwere holdingGrandma Xuup whileYao Tangfed her the medicine. The old woman was obviously unconscious.
When Liu Zhi and Xu Hongsaw this, their faces lit up with triumph.
Just as expected, the d.a.m.n old hag had fainted again.
Now that she was out of the picture, she couldn’t refute their accusations and defend Yao Tanganymore. The couple was clearly at an advantage this time around.
What was more, they had barged in just in time to see Yao Tangholding a bowl of traditional medicine to the old woman’s mouth.
It was just as Liu Zhihad told the police. There was no way they wouldn’t believe him now.
With a grim expression, the head officer strode over and pulled Yao Tangaway from the patient.
She had already fed Grandma Xua spoonful of medicine at this point.
Liu Zhi andXu Hongwasted no time, and they threw themselves at the old woman’s bedside.Liu Zhiwailed in grief, whileXu Hongsobbed quietly.
Now that they had the upper hand, Xu Hong tried to swipe away the bit of medicine in Grandma Xu’s mouth, but Xu Xuan and Qin Jing were quick to stop her.
The police officer surveyed the room and studied the old woman for the first time. When he saw the silver needles sticking out of her body, his eyes widened in shock.
Up until then, he hadn’t really thought that the girl beside him was capable of acupuncture.
When they had first heard the couple’s complaints, they all thought that Liu Zhiwas merely exaggerating and that it was all a simple misunderstanding.
Now that he had seen the patient in question, however, he was starting to believe everything he had heard from the man.
Acupuncture was a skill that took at least a dozen years to master. There were very few experts in the field, and far in between.
The officer glanced at Yao Tang. This girl could have only studied medicine for a handful of years, at most.
Even if she was a little knowledgeable at acupuncture, she shouldn’t have administered it to an old, frail lady without the supervision of a master!
The youth these days were truly bold and audacious.
The officer’s expression turned somber as he addressed the three girls.
“What were you doing, huh? Do you have any idea what the consequences are for your reckless actions? This poor old lady isn’t a guinea pig that you can experiment on. Did you even call for an ambulance? If this old lady’s condition worsens because of your meddling, I will hold you responsible for it!”
