Ma Cuihua was about to say something.
Lin Qin interrupted first, "Turn left when you go out, then right onto the street, and go straight to the intersection. It's around there."
The four members of the Liu family instantly had gloomy faces.
It seemed like Lin Qin was serious!
Liu Yongguo wanted to go out, but Lin Qin quickly blocked the doorway, "Nobody leaves this house until the police arrive!"
"Bitch! Don't think I won't deal with you!" Liu Yongguo threatened with clenched fists.
Lin Zhi was forced to stand up for Lin Qin, "Since my second niece has called the police, let's wait for them. If you act now, it will be hard to explain once they arrive!"
"This bitch bit my mom's arm and drew blood. If I beat her to death, the police can't do anything to me!" Liu Yongguo retorted with his neck stiff, not seeing anything wrong with his actions.
Lin Zhi looked at Lin Qin's swollen face and spoke confidently, "Didn't you guys beat up my second niece too? An eye for an eye, nothing more to say. I didn't see what happened before, so I won't speak on it, but now I'm here. If you act, things won't be simple! We from Shanglin Village aren't easily bullied!"
The community director, who had been watching quietly, stood out when Lin Zhi mentioned Shanglin Village and warned Liu Yongguo harshly, "Liu Yongguo, Lin Qin is your sister-in-law after all. How can you just hit her? When men get involved in women's affairs, it complicates things."
When women fight, it's nothing significant, especially within one family, it's not a big deal.
But when a man gets involved, small issues escalate, making resolution difficult. Especially since Liu Yongguo is Lin Qin's brother-in-law, he should avoid suspicion.
Once the community director spoke, the neighbors immediately chimed in.
Seeing that the situation was unfavorable, Xu Manzhi quickly pulled Liu Yongguo back, signaling him to step back. She then pointed at Lin Qin with her hands on her hips, cursing, "You disgraced our family, and mom just hit you. How is that even wrong? The Liu family became a laughingstock for the entire street. It's good enough that mom didn't kick you out!
If you can't be grateful, fine, but you hurt mom and your sister-in-law. Lin Qin, are you even human?"
Lin Qin didn't even give Xu Manzhi a direct glance. Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed the man on the bed moving slightly, her eyes darkening a bit.
Chen Wenjun!
The man orchestrated against her in a past life, ruining half her life, yet was the only one who held her in his heart!
This time around, they would no longer have those entanglements!
Lin Qin heard the commotion and looked towards the door.
"Officers, it's here." Lin Yi entered with two policemen.
Before Lin Qin could speak, Xu Manzhi started falsely accusing, "Officers, you arrived just in time. Please save my mother-in-law and sister-in-law. Lin Qin is messing around with a wild man and wants to kill my mother-in-law and sister-in-law!"
Lin Qin cooperatively stepped aside to let the police in.
The police saw her swollen face and frowned, "Who is Lin Qin?"
"I am." Lin Qin calmly replied.
The police, sensing her integrity, raised an eyebrow in surprise, "Your father, Lin Yi, said you wanted to report a case. Tell us, what's the situation."
Lin Qin pointed to the four members of the Liu family, "They colluded against me, locking me in a room with that stranger, falsely accusing me of loose behavior."
"Officer, she's talking nonsense! This is our house. Why would we set her up? We couldn't face ourselves if this got out!" Xu Manzhi cleverly countered and gave Lin Qin a smug glance.
The police didn't just take one side's word and continued questioning Lin Qin, "Do you have any evidence to prove they framed you?"
"I do!"
Everyone looked at Lin Qin in shock. What was the evidence? How could there be evidence for something like this?
Not only were the onlookers perplexed, but even the four members of the Liu family felt it was inexplicable.
Lin Qin reached up to feel around her head, where there was a large bump and some sticky liquid. She then opened her hand to show everyone, "This is the evidence! Tonight, I was washing dishes in the kitchen, and someone knocked me out from behind with a blunt object. I didn't know anything after that."
She had discovered this wound when she was brought back to Shanglin Village in a past life, and it was because of this injury that she realized she had been harmed by the Liu family.
Upon seeing the blood, the officer's expression grew stern, "Comrade Lin Qin, you need to go to the hospital immediately. We've filed the case and will get to the bottom of this."
The neighbors, who were watching, hadn't expected Lin Qin to have such a large injury on her head, and their gaze toward the Liu family turned fearful and unfamiliar.
"This... If not handled properly, it could be murder!" Realizing the severity, the community director couldn't remain neutral and severely reprimanded Ma Cuihua's family, "You've gone too far!"
"It wasn't us! She's lying! We didn't hit her!" Ma Cuihua stubbornly refused to admit it, shouting with a stiff neck, "It's obvious she's guilty, deliberately diverting everyone's attention. Today she was caught in bed with another man! The adulterer's lying right there, she can't deny it!"
"Are you talking about me?"
The crowd all turned to the awakened Chen Wenjun on the bed.
He was clutching his head with one hand, trying to feel around his body with the other, his expression pained.
The policeman immediately sensed something was wrong, went up and pulled Chen Wenjun's hand away, examined carefully, and his face darkened, "Comrade, did you also suffer a head injury?"
"Yes! Yes, yes, yes!" Chen Wenjun looked at the policeman's outfit, grabbed his hand excitedly, and cried anxiously, "Officer, my money was stolen, my money is gone! Fifty-three yuan and twenty-five cents, that's fifty-three yuan and twenty-five cents!"
Crowd: "?????"
Wasn't it about messing around with another man? Wasn't it about head injuries? How did it become about losing money? And over fifty yuan! That's not a small amount.
The officer patiently calmed him, "Don't worry, tell us carefully what happened."
Chen Wenjun sat cross-legged on the bed, wiping away tears as he sobbed, "I'm a Dang person from Nanxi, named Chen Wenjun. I came to the street today to sell fish, but business wasn't good. It was almost dark when I sold out. I was carrying my goods back, and while walking in the alley, I was hit from behind and lost consciousness. When I woke up, I was here!"
As soon as he finished, an onlooker shouted loudly, "I know, I know... Tonight, Li San's mother carried two baskets and a pole back, and there seemed to be some things inside. You could smell the fish from afar. I even argued with her; it's probably yours."
In their area, no one fishes. That sudden appearance was curious, especially since he asked Li San's mother if she struck it rich, but got a scolding instead.
Humph! He wasn't about to let that old woman off easy!
Another policeman immediately asked the old man to lead him to Li San's mother.
Lin Qin stared blankly at the scene, her mind blank.
This was... not how Chen Wenjun reacted in her past life!
And losing the money, wasn't that discovered later? And it wasn't that exact amount!
Before she could think it through.
Chen Wenjun urgently pleaded with the officer to help him recover the money.
The officer reassured him while scrutinizing the four members of the Liu family sternly.
The four members of the Liu family were completely flustered.
Liu Yongguo vehemently argued, "Officer, he's talking nonsense. It's clear he and Lin Qin planned this to frame us. We didn't take his money!"
