Rebirth: My Dear Little Wife Is So Scheming

Chapter 201 - 201 201 Police Visit

?Chapter 201: Chapter 201: Police Visit Chapter 201: Chapter 201: Police Visit The security department was the first to arrive since they already knew about the incident. Once Chui Li mentioned it, they naturally took it seriously, made a record, and had many witnesses from the scene. They even took photos to keep as evidence.

Then the police station arrived.

While taking care of the child, Chui Li explained the situation and the police conducted their investigation and left.

Chui Li sat beside her daughter, touching her forehead and shedding silent tears. What terrible suffering the child had endured.

Xiaofen did not wake up until midnight and immediately saw Chui Li holding her hand, leaning against her bed. A smile finally appeared on her small face; it seemed her mother loved her, not abandoning her despite her tantrums and unreasonable behavior. She gripped her mother’s fingers tightly.

She was loved and cherished by someone.

Fan Jiancheng and Liu Gaimei brought Xiaobao back home. Xiaobao only had a scraped knee, which looked severe but was not serious. On the way, Fan Jiancheng also questioned Xiaobao. Although Xiaobao spoke hesitantly, he managed to explain clearly that he had accidentally fallen off the bed, which left Fan Jiancheng feeling somewhat uneasy.

He had wronged the girl and even hit her.

However, any pang of guilt disappeared when he thought about the plan to deal with Chui Li. This was also an opportunity for Xiaofen to learn what happens when her birth mother does not provide living expenses, which infuriated Fan Jiancheng further.

He disregarded everything else.

Liu Gaimei, on the other hand, was not really affected since she had not done anything. She took careful care of her son. Upon returning home and finding the front door open, and the house empty, Fan Jiancheng cursed, “That damn girl, who knows where she has gone off to die! Wait till I get my hands on her!”

He was still seething with anger.

“Save it, she’s probably at your mother’s house by now. Look at the time! Just wash up and go to sleep. I’m dead tired,” Liu Gaimei said, placing Xiaobao on the bed and feeling uneasy as she looked at the gauze on his forehead covering the bump.

Xiaobao was already asleep, tired out from the ordeal.

Fan Jiancheng shut the door, and the couple had just lain down.

Then they heard a thunderous knock on the front door, filling Fan Jiancheng with anger—what could this possibly be about in the middle of the night?

“Who’s there? What do you want at this hour?”

Fan Jiancheng got up, extremely displeased, and yanked open the front door.

As soon as he saw the policemen in uniform, he was somewhat taken aback.

“Officer, what is the matter?”

“Are you Fan Jiancheng?”

“Yes, that’s me!” Fan Jiancheng mumbled to himself, wondering why the police would come looking for him since he hadn’t done anything wrong.

He was just a bit slick with his words, but genuinely, he lacked the courage to commit any real crime.

Why on earth would the police need him?

“Fan Xifen is your daughter, isn’t she?” the policeman asked, looking sternly at the man in front of him. There was no ambiguity in his tone—this case was under high scrutiny from higher authorities as it involved a doctor’s family, which was no trivial matter.

“Yes, Fan Xifen is my daughter!” Fan Jiancheng was stunned, wondering how Xiaofen was involved.

Could it be that Chui Li had filed a complaint against him at the police station? But what could she possibly accuse him of?

He had done nothing wrong.

Not right!

His heart sank.

Fan Jiancheng suddenly remembered that he had just beaten Xiaofen today. Could it be that the wretched girl teamed up with his mother to sue him?

If that were the case, then she really was a thankless wretch.

He wasn’t afraid of being sued.

Which parent hadn’t hit their daughter or son a few times?

“Alright then, please come with us to the police station to assist with the investigation,” the officer said immediately upon verification.

Fan Jiancheng panicked, “Officer, I haven’t done anything wrong; you can’t wrongly accuse me.”

The officer became irritated, “We are not wrongly accusing you, we just need you to cooperate with our investigation. Your daughter, Fan Xifen, is covered in injuries today, has a bloody head and a perforated intestine causing peritonitis. Her biological mother has already filed a report, claiming she was beaten and abused. So, please cooperate with our investigation.”

This was not a case of wrongful accusation; anyone who saw the girl’s condition would feel heartbroken.

Fan Jiancheng was shocked, “Impossible, officer, I only slapped her and kicked her once, how could she have a bloody head and a perforated intestine resulting in peritonitis? This is absolutely impossible; it must be Chui Li trying to frame me,” he immediately suspected Chui Li was setting him up.

The officer grew impatient and said, “You better come with us now. Regardless of whether it is possible or not, you have to come back with us for the investigation. If you are wrongly accused, of course we will handle it fairly and release you.” The implication was if he wasn’t wrongly accused, then he wouldn’t be able to leave.

Liu Gaimei had heard the noise and came out; seeing that Fan Jiancheng was about to be taken away, she too panicked, “Officer, what exactly did he do wrong?”

“We’ve told you that we are taking him to assist with an investigation. Someone reported he abused his daughter, causing a perforated intestine and peritonitis, and she is now in the ICU at the hospital. If you continue to obstruct our work, we will have to take you by force,” the officer pushed Fan Jiancheng, moving him out of the door.

Fan Jiancheng quickly said to Liu Gaimei: “If there’s any problem, consult my mother.”

He hadn’t even finished speaking when the police took him away.

Liu Gaimei looked at Xiaobao, who was still sound asleep; she couldn’t just leave the child alone to go see the old lady, so all she could do was wait anxiously for dawn.

As soon as day broke, Liu Gaimei dressed Xiaobao, carried the child, and went straight to the old lady’s place.

The old lady had just gotten up and hadn’t tidied up the house yet when she saw her daughter-in-law arriving with her grandson in her arms.

Seeing the gauze still seeping blood on Xiaobao’s head, she couldn’t help thinking of that doomed girl, Xiaofen.

“Really, with the child hurt like this, how could you carry him over in this freezing cold? What if he gets cold?” she complained while quickly placing the child on the bed and covering him with a quilt.

Xiaobao had already recovered his spirits and was energetically playing there.

Liu Gaimei caught her breath, “Mom, something terrible has happened!”

The old lady was handing out cookies she had bought last time to Xiaobao as she replied, “What are you panicking about? What trouble could there be so early in the morning?” She watched with delight as her grandson sweetly nibbled on the cookies.

“Look how happily the child is eating. Didn’t you give him breakfast?”

Liu Gaimei had spent the previous night anxious and scared; as soon as the child woke up this morning, she rushed over to find the old lady without having time to prepare breakfast for him.

“Mom, forget about whether Xiaobao had breakfast. The police have taken Big Brother away!”

This news was utterly shocking and completely dumbfounded the old lady.

“What? Daughter-in-law, are you confused? Why would the police come to arrest Big Brother? What could Big Brother possibly have done?” She knew her son well—while Fan Jiancheng might be bossy at home, it was absolutely impossible for him to stir up trouble outside.
