With Old Mai’s assurance, Su Xuan and his team were filled with energy. Coupled with the evidence they already had, it didn’t take long for them to send the culprits to prison. The follow-up work for the case was handed over to the narcotics division.
Finally getting a break, Zhou Qiang sat at his desk and had no intention of leaving. “I’m so tired. I was worried the case might run into trouble along the way, but thankfully, everything turned out fine.”
“I’m taking a day off tomorrow,” Zhou Qiang continued, “I need to rest at home. No one can make me leave the house.”
He glanced at Su Xuan and couldn’t help but express his surprise. “By the way, I heard you postponed your vacation? It’s funny, if I had a vacation, rd be gone in a flash, but you decided to postpone yours?”
Su Xuan nodded as he sorted through the mess on his desk. “Yeah. The people I wanted to meet up with are busy lately, so I figured I’d push it back.”
As soon as he said that, Zhou Qiang, who had been leaning back in his chair, suddenly became excited. He sat up straight, his eyes filled with curiosity.
“People you want to meet are busy?” one of his colleagues asked. “Is it your girlfriend, or that blind date from before?”
“It seems like things are going well, my friend! When are you treating us to a meal?”
“Yeah, let me see what your sister-in-law looks like…”
In their office, they had a rule. Whoever got into a relationship had to treat the entire office to a meal. So far, Zhou Qiang had treated them twice. Oh, the last time was courtesy of Su Xuan’s ex-girlfriend.
Seeing his colleagues eyeing the meal, Su Xuan couldn’t help but shake his head. “It’s too early to say, nothing’s official yet.”
He turned the tables on Zhou Qiang. “Speaking of which, when are you getting married? You said you were getting married six months ago, but I haven’t received a wedding invitation.”
“Come on, my friend, can you make it happen? If not, treat me to a meal, and I’ll give you some advice.”
Zhou Qiang:…
“Alright, alright. Pot calling the kettle black. They were both in the same boat with no results to show for it. Big brother shouldn’t laugh at little brother!”
“I’m going on a date tomorrow!”
“You stay home and hold down the fort!”
Zhou Qiang stood up, patted Su Xuan on the shoulder, and then headed out. It’s time to call it a day!
Su Xuan glanced at his shoulder and let out a resigned smile.
Alright, let’s hope tomorrow goes smoothly, and I can finally get a day off…
The following day, an internal phone call interrupted his plans.
“Sergeant Su, do you have some free time? We’ve got a case that needs your attention.”
Su Xuan took a deep breath and forced a smile. “I’m available.”
Certain things were unavoidable; you couldn’t dodge them. He swiftly responded to the call and, along with his colleagues, headed to the reported location.
In theory, this kind of situation didn’t require a detective like him. Initially, it was a simple dispute between neighbors. Two families, who were originally relatives, had moved to a new rural area and built houses next to each other, thinking it would strengthen their bond. Little did they know…
The two brothers had formed a strong bond, but the relationship between their wives had deteriorated to the point of frequent police calls.
As police officers in this district, Su Xuan and his team were well-acquainted with the troublemakers in the area. They were so familiar that when they received a call from this location, they promptly sent a familiar auxiliary officer to mediate the situation.
Initially, they thought this matter would be resolved quickly. However, within half an hour, Su Xuan received a call requesting his presence.
As he headed to the scene, Su Xuan had his doubts. How could a neighborhood dispute, even one that auxiliary officers couldn’t handle, escalate to the point of requiring a detective’s intervention?
“You’re a cop, right? Let me tell you, don’t meddle in this matter. It’s a dispute between my sister-in-law and me!”
As soon as Su Xuan got out of the car, he spotted a commotion outside the house, with a crowd gathered around, watching the spectacle.
At the center of the commotion were two women, locked in a fierce struggle that seemed like they were about to scratch each other’s faces to shreds.
Su Xuan furrowed his brow and glanced over at the nearby patrol car. The auxiliary officers’ patrol car was there, indicating that they had arrived. But… Where were they?
As he approached, he heard the short-haired woman among the two confronting him, all the while making threats.
“If you interfere in our fight, I’ll file a complaint against you!”
“What does this have to do with you!?”
“You meddlesome busybodies, go back! Who asked you to call the police…”
The last part of her statement was directed at the other person, the one who had made the call to the police. The woman’s sister-in-law had her hair tied in a ponytail, and at this moment, her hair was being held tightly by her sister-in-law’s hand, contorting her as she squatted down, rolling her eyes when she heard the comments.
“After all you’ve done to me, I shouldn’t call the police?”
“Lan Xiaofen, do you have a problem?”
“I was peacefully eating at home, and you suddenly rushed at me to start a fight. I call you ‘sister-in-law’ once, and you act all innocent. I’ve tolerated you for years!”
“Let go of me!”
Upon hearing this, Lan Xiaofen, who had a firm grip on her, sneered.
Not only did she not let go, but she pulled even harder.
“Chen Jiahui, don’t think I don’t know what’s going on in your head!”
“Back then, it was me who first noticed Zheng Wenhao. You confessed your feelings to him, but when it didn’t work out, you married his younger brother… And for all these years, you’ve been getting along so well with me, not revealing your true intentions…”
“Your scheming is truly something!”
“This time, you introduced your niece from your maternal family to my son. Are you still thinking about rekindling your old flame with Zheng Wenhao?”
“Is it like, if you can’t have the man you want, you’ll let your niece have his son?”
“Ridiculous!”
“Chen Jiahui, let me tell you… you’re dreaming!”
Lan Xiaofen glared at her sister-in-law, her eyes filled with animosity. The gaze she directed wasn’t at her sister-in-law; it was the gaze of a love rival!
Onlookers:…
Su Xuan, who had been forced to witness this family drama, also paused for a moment. But he quickly understood.
No wonder the auxiliary officers said they couldn’t handle this matter; it was truly unsolvable…
They say even the fairest judge can’t settle family matters, let alone emotional disputes like this one.
“You’re talking nonsense!”
“Everything between me and my big brother is pure and innocent. Don’t you dare spread rumors about us!”
“Don’t think you can easily defame someone just because you’re a sister-in-law. I’m not the kind of person you can slander at will!”
“I heard before that you didn’t get along with the other neighbors. During the demolition, nobody wanted to share a house with you, so I ended up building a three-story building together with you…”
“If I had known you were like this, I definitely wouldn’t have joined you!”
Chen Jiahui was almost at her wit’s end.
Back in the day, although she did have some thoughts about her older brother, that was just some picking before she really got to know him…
These were all practical matters. In those days, who wouldn’t be a bit picky before getting involved with someone?
A month ago, it was Lan Xiaofen who had actively asked her to find a potential partner for her son…
She happened to have a candidate in mind. What’s wrong with trying to strengthen family ties?
Lan Xiaofen didn’t know what rumors she had heard, but today, she came directly to pick a fight with her!
Being slapped and cursed at, with so many people making a scene, Chen Jiahui found it all very annoying!
Sometimes, words just slipped out without going through the brain.
However…
As soon as that sentence left her mouth, Lan Xiaofen’s face changed instantly.
She raised her hand and slapped back!
“You old bitch, you’re so old, and you still want to seduce someone else’s husband. Are you really that shameless…”
Seeing that they were about to start fighting again, Su Xuan rushed between the two, one hand on each of them.
He blocked their hands from striking each other.
“That’s enough!”
