Luo Jinwen and Xie Youlan showed fear on their faces upon hearing this.
They wanted to stop her, but they couldn't even move. All they could do was hang their heads and let Lan Yuxi do as she pleased.
Lan Yuxi took out another stack of A4 paper and said to everyone, "Before, my junior brother and I were too young to thoroughly investigate Aunt Wang Hui's bizarre death. It was only today, when I saw my junior brother being bullied by them again, that I decided to look into it. And the result of this investigation..."
Lan Yuxi paused. After the entire venue fell silent, she said coldly, "Aunt Wang Hui's death was not natural. She was poisoned and killed by Luo Jinwen and Xie Youlan!"
As soon as Lan Yuxi finished speaking, Captain Xiao arrived with his team in police cars.
"Everyone, I am Xiao Dong from the Criminal Investigation Division. We received a report and are here to apprehend the suspects. Please cooperate."
The crowd parted with a whoosh, clearing a path in the middle.
Xie Youlan looked at the uniformed police officers with a terrified expression. She didn't want to go, no!
Luo Shi-yi's eyes, the only ones visible outside his bandages, were exceptionally cold. He glanced at Luo Jinwen and then looked up at the sky.
"Mom, did you see? Senior sister finally avenged you!"
Lan Yuxi handed all the documents to Captain Xiao, then freed a hand to stroke Luo Shi-yi's head. "Auntie saw. Go back to the hospital and rest well."
The act had to be complete. Since he was wrapped like a mummy, he had to stay in the hospital for a few days.
Luo Shi-yi knew this well and nodded with red eyes.
Jiang Wanni looked at him with heartache. Mustering her courage, she said to Captain Xiao, "Captain Xiao, I am Luo Jingting's neighbor. If you need a witness, I can testify. Although I don't know how Auntie was murdered, I am very clear that Luo Jingting was abused by their family!"
"Thank you for your cooperation," Captain Xiao smiled kindly. "Please leave your phone number, and I will contact you when your testimony is needed."
Jiang Wanni didn't hesitate and gave her phone number directly to Captain Xiao. Then, she helped Luo Shi-yi into the car.
Captain Xiao glanced at the four members of the Luo family still kneeling on the ground, then looked at Lan Yuxi for help. "Sister-in-law..."
Lan Yuxi understood and removed the golden needles from the Luo family members. After all, it would be difficult to interrogate them if they were taken back still kneeling and unable to speak.
Just as Captain Xiao was escorting the Luo family of four into the police car, Nan Xiao and Ming Zicheng arrived by car.
They had seen everything that had happened here. The reason they hadn't come over sooner was that Lan Yuxi had called them both before she arrived, telling them not to show themselves.
The car they were in drove directly to Lan Yuxi's side. Nan Xiao pushed open the car door, but he didn't get out. Instead, he extended his hand.
Lan Yuxi raised an eyebrow slightly, took his hand, and got into the car. "Didn't I tell you two not to show yourselves? Why are you here?"
Ming Zicheng, sitting in the passenger seat, turned his head. "We didn't even get out of the car, so we didn't show ourselves."
Lan Yuxi glanced at him, then said to Nan Xiao, "I'm not going back with you. I need to talk to Nan Yao."
Nan Xiao frowned slightly. "Was he involved?"
"I don't know, but Luo Jinwen came to him before causing trouble. I clearly warned him, yet he still dared to stir up trouble, and even here. If he wasn't instigated, he wouldn't dare."
Nan Xiao said in a deep voice, "After everyone leaves, I'll go with you."
Lan Yuxi looked at him with complex eyes. "If you want to go, then go."
Ming Zicheng said, "Then I'll go to the hospital to see Shi-yi later."
Lan Yuxi pursed her lips. "Okay, go comfort him. I'm afraid he might do something drastic. But you must find an excuse to leave, otherwise, Miss Jiang won't be able to stay."
"Is there something between Shi-yi and Miss Jiang?"
"I don't know what Shi-yi thinks, but Miss Jiang is determined to be with him. She went to the matchmaking event because she heard Shi-yi was going."
"If he can have a home, he'll gradually overcome the shadows of his childhood," Ming Zicheng said with a relieved smile. "I'll bring Chu Ting with me later. With Chu Ting, a pregnant woman, she'll have a reason to stay."
"Okay." Lan Yuxi glanced outside the car. Seeing that reporters and onlookers were gradually leaving under the guidance of the security guards, she then got out of the car with Nan Xiao and got into her own.
The car quickly arrived at the teahouse. Before Lan Yuxi got out, she asked Nan Xiao again if he would accompany her to see Nan Yao. Nan Xiao directly pushed open the car door and got out, telling her with his actions that they must go together!
Nan Yao seemed to have already guessed they would come. So, when they entered, he wasn't surprised and had already prepared tea for them.
Nan Xiao glanced at him indifferently. "After Luo Jinwen left your place, he went to the office building to cause trouble. If Xi Bao hadn't been prepared, he would have succeeded."
Nan Yao picked up his teacup and took a sip. "He did come to see me, and I did give him some advice. But I didn't expect him to be so extreme."
Nan Xiao and Lan Yuxi exchanged a look. He admitted it so readily, meaning there was likely more to come.
Nan Yao sighed and continued, "I told him to take the two children to another province quickly and get their illnesses treated first. But he not only didn't listen to me, he went to the office building to cause trouble.
Xiao'er, Yuxi, even if you didn't come today, I would have come to find you when I got home. Luo Jinwen came to beg me the day before yesterday, asking me to get two invitations for his son. I thought it wasn't a big deal, and since Chao Chao got one for Qi Yue, I asked him for two as well. Alas, I shouldn't have helped him, or this wouldn't have happened."
Lan Yuxi's gaze deepened, making it impossible to discern her emotions.
"It really wasn't a big deal, and you don't need to feel guilty about it."
Nan Xiao tilted his head to look at her, unsure of her intentions. She had been so aggressive when they arrived, but now she was so agreeable.
Lan Yuxi gave him a reassuring look and then said to Nan Yao, "Nan Xiao and I are not here because of Luo Jinwen. We are here to tell you that Qiu Shuying has been recovering well recently. The doctor said she often mentions you, and if you were to visit her, she might recover even faster."
Nan Yao frowned slightly. "I don't want to see her."
Lan Yuxi nodded. "If you don't want to see her, then don't. The doctor was just suggesting it. He said that without external stimulation, with Qiu Shuying's current recovery rate, she can be discharged in two months at the latest."
Nan Yao rubbed his teacup. After a long while, he said hesitantly, "Why don't I let An Qian go see her?"
"You decide. I don't mind either way." Lan Yuxi looked around the room and smiled. "This place is really elegant, completely different from your usual style... By the way, do you know Kahn?"
