Xia Qingtian's voice was not loud, but it reached everyone's ears clearly.
"You!" The woman stared blankly at Xia Qingtian, seemingly surprised that someone would jump out and say such a thing at this moment.
"You wanted to die, didn't you? Hurry up and die. If you're quick, you might still catch up to your dead husband. Such true love will surely move heaven, and you two can be reborn as a mandarin duck couple in the next life." Xia Qingtian's voice was cool and languid, her lips curved in a mocking smile. "Hurry up, it'll be too late to catch him if you delay."
"Qingtian!" Father Xia frowned as he looked at Xia Qingtian. What nonsense was Xia Qingtian saying at this moment!
"Qingtian." Aunt Liu also grabbed Xia Qingtian's arm and shook her head, signaling her not to act impulsively.
"Is this the eldest daughter of the Xia family? How truly cold-blooded!"
"You're the one with the hot blood, why don't you offer your life to her husband and be their second child in the next life to fulfill their dream?" Xia Qingtian retorted directly, making the man who spoke flush crimson.
"So, if one person comes here and says a few random things, threatens to die and clings to our doorstep, we have to accept it?" Xia Qingtian said coldly. "If someone comes today claiming their husband is dead, will someone else come tomorrow with a child, crying and shouting that it's a Xia family offspring, and then we have to hand over all of the Xia family's assets?"
"You say our Xia Corporation disregards human life. Where's the evidence?" Xia Qingtian looked coldly at the woman. "Since someone died, why haven't you reported it to the police? Has a case been filed? Where is the official proof from the police? The conviction report? The death certificate of the deceased?"
"I...this..." The woman was stunned and stammered, unable to answer.
"You have nothing. You drape a two-meter-long piece of cloth over yourself, and with a flick of your tongue, you can pin the serious matter of human life onto our Xia family. If you don't explain everything clearly today, I'll ensure you won't leave here the same way you came in!"
Hearing Xia Qingtian's threat, the woman's face changed drastically. She instinctively searched the crowd for someone. Upon seeing a signal from that person, she immediately began wailing again, "They're really making it impossible for us to live! Xia Corporation disregards human life! They're not leaving any way out for us orphans and widows!"
This wailing was truly irritating, and coupled with the constantly flashing lights, it made one want to explode.
Just then, a commotion erupted at the entrance again. The sudden appearance of officials in police uniforms was somewhat unexpected – who had called the police?
"Miss Xia." One of the officials recognized Xia Qingtian immediately and greeted her. "We meet again."
"Hello." Xia Qingtian also recognized the young officer who had helped her prove her innocence when Song Junhan was hospitalized.
"This is our captain." The young officer immediately introduced his mature and steady captain to Xia Qingtian.
"Miss Xia, we are very grateful for your assistance in our police investigation this time." The captain saluted Xia Qingtian solemnly. "This matter has had a far-reaching impact, and the authorities have decided to officially commend Miss Xia."
"Given that Miss Xia had promptly called the emergency center earlier and rescued a young man who was hit by a car." As the captain spoke, many people looked at Song Junhan, whose expression turned dark and unpleasant.
Xia Qingtian, however, looked at the young officer, who shyly winked at her.
"In this operation, Miss Xia protected a young victim and provided timely information to save a critically injured patient. The authorities have decided to award Miss Xia the title of 'Top Ten Youngsters of the City' and grant her a monetary reward."
"This is what I should do as a law-abiding citizen." Xia Qingtian said with a faint smile. "By the way, how are the family members of the previous victim doing?"
"Lin Qidong's family has received the financial assistance granted by Miss Xia, and Lin Qidong's son has also officially participated in the educational assistance plan entrusted to the trust company by Miss Xia. The mother and son's lives can now proceed smoothly."
"Lin Qidong's family knows the truth behind the victim's death and that the culprit has been brought to justice." The captain continued, "The victim's family has authorized us, the police, to express their sincere gratitude to Miss Xia once again."
"In that case, what is the deal with that woman who claims to be Lin Qidong's wife, still here threatening to die and making a scene with a knife?" Xia Qingtian asked coldly, looking at the completely dumbfounded woman.
"She's not Lin Qidong's wife. We've met Lin Qidong's wife, she's very thin." The young officer said in surprise, looking at the woman.
"Then I'll have to trouble all of you to do your job and take her back for investigation. This person has malicious intentions, damaging my father's reputation in public, and is suspected of defamation and false accusation. Everyone present is a witness." Xia Qingtian stated, "There are also professional reporters here taking photos and recording, which can be provided to the police for conviction."
Hearing Xia Qingtian's words, the woman was completely stunned. She threw down the knife in her hand, grabbed her child, and tried to rush out. Seeing that her child was potentially holding her back, the woman abandoned the child as well and squeezed her way out of the crowd.
Upon seeing this situation, even the most foolish people knew that this woman was problematic, and they immediately joined forces to corner her.
Seeing that escape was impossible, the woman, with a deathly pale face, turned and threw herself at Song Junhan's feet. "Mr. Song! I don't want your money anymore! I don't want it! Please tell the police the truth! Hurry up and speak!"
Hearing the woman's words, Song Junhan's face turned completely black.
He kicked the woman away and said, "I don't know you. What is there for me to say to you!"
"You! You can't do this! I have evidence! I have proof of your transfer! I have evidence! He! He is the mastermind! I, I was just momentarily blinded by greed! Please let me go home! My husband is paralyzed! He can't live without me!"
The woman wailed again at the top of her lungs. This time, her crying seemed more sincere, but no one was willing to believe her anymore.
The police officers took the woman and the child away, and then approached Song Junhan, saying, "Please, sir, you'll have to come with us as well."
When Song Junhan heard the woman mention evidence of a transfer, his heart sank.
He had indeed been careless this time.
He never expected that something he considered a sure thing would turn out like this!
Song Junhan looked at Xia Qingtian, and met her playful eyes, his heart skipping a beat.
Xia Qingtian had calculated against him!
Xia Qingtian had done this intentionally!
Although he didn't know how Xia Qingtian managed it, but...
But it must have been Xia Qingtian, judging by her look!
There was no mistake!
Thinking of this, Song Junhan hardened his heart, ready for a desperate fight. He still had a final trump card!
