"We're going to the police station. This matter needs to be settled!"
The middle-aged woman said through gritted teeth, startling the old woman.
The old woman clearly hadn't expected her useless daughter-in-law to be the one to cause trouble at such a critical moment.
"You wretched woman, are you out of your mind? Who goes to the police station for such things?"
The old woman glared fiercely at the middle-aged woman.
If looks could kill, Su Xiaotian guessed, the middle-aged woman would have already been riddled with holes by her glares.
However, the woman who had seemed completely suppressed moments ago now appeared to have developed a rebellious streak.
"Mother, we can't just stand by and watch Zhaodi's father be wrongly accused, can we? This young girl keeps saying how much she values Zhaodi's father, but I don't believe her!"
Su Xiaotian looked at the woman who had spoken with great surprise.
This woman was different from her previously distraught demeanor.
She seemed to have figured something out, and her entire aura had changed.
Moreover, from the few words this woman spoke, Su Xiaotian could tell that she was not foolish.
Su Xiaotian could clearly sense that this woman likely believed her.
But at this moment, she put on an act of complete disbelief, which was clearly a pretense.
Su Xiaotian couldn't help but look at the woman who seemed to have been reborn from the ashes!
"You wretched woman, what are you trying to do? Are you trying to rebel? Now that your man is gone, you won't listen to me anymore?"
The old woman clearly didn't want her daughter-in-law to go to the police station and began to act unreasonably and threaten her.
Su Xiaotian sneered. Since her aunt had already called the police,
If she didn't do something to support the woman in front of her, wouldn't that be letting herself down?
"Officers, this old lady is interfering with my normal life and threatening me."
Su Xiaotian was young, and by acting pitiful and like a victim, she was very endearing.
Her demeanor was completely different from her usual commanding presence.
The two police officers also saw the little girl's pitiful state.
However, since no substantial harm had been done, even if the two officers wanted to do something, they were powerless as long as the old woman firmly disagreed.
In fact, the two police officers felt that this young girl was bound to be wronged today.
Thinking of this, their gazes towards Su Xiaotian carried a hint of apology.
"Madam, your son really took my money, and I have reported your son. Your son made a mistake and should bear the consequences!"
"If your son doesn't return that money, I'll keep him in jail! You'll never see your son again in your life!"
The old woman trembled with anger at Su Xiaotian's words. In her opinion, her son was not at fault.
All the fault lay with others!
Her son being arrested was Su Xiaotian's fault.
Didn't she have a lot of money?
Her son had only taken a little, so what was the big deal?
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, believing that as long as she could subdue Su Xiaotian and make her release her son, everything would be fine.
With this thought, she lunged at Su Xiaotian, clawing and tearing at her.
She was just an old woman. With Su Xiaotian's abilities, she could certainly avoid getting hurt.
However, her provocation was intended to make the old woman angry.
Su Xiaotian smiled triumphantly. As the old woman lunged forward, she immediately fell to the ground, rolled to the side, and dodged.
Thus, the old woman lunged at empty air.
The old woman, unaware of Su Xiaotian's objective, became even more arrogant when she saw Su Xiaotian fall.
She even forgot that the police were present and intended to strike Su Xiaotian while she was down.
"I'll rip your mouth, you little slut, for cursing my son and for being so vicious!"
This turn of events shocked everyone.
Su Manxiu also didn't expect Su Xiaotian to suddenly become so frail.
But she quickly understood.
Xiaotian was doing this on purpose.
If the situation were different, Su Manxiu felt she could have rushed over and hit someone herself.
This child was becoming more and more audacious as she grew!
The two police officers nearby saw this and thought, "This is unacceptable! They're starting to fight right in front of us, how arrogant!"
Such a person absolutely deserved severe punishment!
As a result, the old woman was taken to the police station.
At this point, the old woman regretted it, but it was too late. She could only cry and wail at the police station.
It had to be said that this old woman was like a stubborn mule.
She cried and made a scene but refused to say anything of value.
Su Xiaotian, as the victim, gave a simple statement and was released from the police station.
Before leaving, she borrowed the police station's phone to make a call.
Su Manxiu, holding Chen Xiuyuan, was anxiously waiting for her outside the police station.
Seeing Su Xiaotian emerge, Su Manxiu hurried forward to examine her, worried that Su Xiaotian might have been harmed.
If such a good child came to Licheng and got hurt, she wouldn't know how to explain it to her family.
"Xiaotian, are you alright? How could something like this happen to you!"
"Aunt, I'm fine, don't worry." Su Xiaotian appeared much calmer than Su Manxiu.
"You child, I was terrified when I saw you fall. I almost rushed over," Su Manxiu said reproachfully.
This child, why didn't she discuss it with anyone beforehand? She scared me to death!
Su Xiaotian chuckled, "Aunt, I think this old woman must know something. I've already told the police my suspicions and called Guanghui."
Although Su Xiaotian spoke casually, she actually felt a heavy burden in her heart.
There was definitely something fishy about this matter.
She had thought the factory was doing quite well, but it turned out to have so many problems. If she hadn't come here, and if it had continued for a long time, it might have led to a disaster.
Xiang Ying, as the sales manager, abusing his position for personal gain wasn't a major issue in itself. What was suspicious was that for several days, he refused to reveal the whereabouts of the money.
After today's events, Su Xiaotian guessed that both Xiang Ying and his mother knew where the money had gone.
Neither of these two people was easy to deal with, and yet no valuable clues could be extracted from them.
On the contrary, Xiang Ying's wife seemed to know nothing, and didn't even know how much Xiang Ying's salary was!
But today's incident was the best opportunity.
If used well, it might lead to the key to the problem.
"Aunt, I need to go to the factory later. There are some things I need to clarify in person!"
Her good mood for shopping had vanished, and Su Xiaotian decided to go to the factory.
