After Marrying the Officer Chapter 1317 - 1316: Clarifying the Situation

Mother Xia, always a bit slow on the uptake, readily believed the staff member's words. This led to the entire scene where Mother Xia was prompted to 'identify' Xia Chuyi. Piecing together her own observations with Mother Xia's statement, Xia Chuyi quickly understood the situation. After getting the desired information, Xia Chuyi nodded slightly and inquired, "And what about Xia Lianlian? Did you see her? How did she react at that moment?"

"Furthermore, when you fell into the water, why didn't she save you?" Xia Chuyi continued, her gaze sharpening. "Not only did she fail to assist you, but Xia Lianlian actually turned and fled, abandoning you. Have you ever considered what might be wrong with that behavior?"

"This..." Upon hearing Xia Chuyi's questions, Mother Xia glanced back at her, then lowered her head, clearly hesitant and unsure how to respond.

"You don't know? Or..." Xia Chuyi pressed, showing no intention of letting Mother Xia off the hook. "Are you perhaps trying to shield Xia Lianlian?"

At this, Mother Xia seemed flustered and declared, "No, I'm not covering for Lian'er!"

"Lian'er, she... she might have seen you and feared you'd call the authorities to have her arrested, so... so she left first..." Although Mother Xia stammered, she eventually voiced her thoughts.

"A-and besides, maybe she went to confront the person who pushed me into the water!" Every word Mother Xia uttered was an attempt to offer an excuse for Xia Lianlian's actions.

Essentially, it had never crossed Mother Xia's mind to suspect Xia Lianlian. Seeing this, Xia Chuyi naturally continued to press her advantage.

Unexpectedly, the impulsively righteous individual intervened again, exclaiming, "Hey, are you done yet?"

"The way you're questioning her sounds like you're trying to coerce a confession," the impulsive person shouted.

Faced with this "justice-driven" reaction, Xia Chuyi actually felt a growing sense of calm.

"Coerce a confession?" Xia Chuyi responded evenly. "Very well, then I shall ask no more."

"Officer, the current situation is that she claims the person who pushed her into the water was someone I dispatched..." Xia Chuyi shook her head and addressed the Police Station officer. "However, I never committed such an act, and I don't even know this individual."

"Therefore, I implore you officers to investigate and identify this person as swiftly as possible," Xia Chuyi stated calmly. "So that I may clear my name without delay."

The impulsive individual chimed in, "Yes, you officers at the Police Station, please hurry and find that person, so we can all ascertain who truly instructed the individual to push Auntie into the water!"

Even as he spoke, the impulsive person's gaze was fixed on Xia Chuyi.

It was evident that the impulsive individual remained firmly on Mother Xia's side.

After all, this person still found Mother Xia to be pitiable, while viewing Xia Chuyi as aggressive and contemptible.

The reaction from the young and hot-headed impulsive individual was, frankly, something Xia Chuyi had already anticipated.

Consequently, Xia Chuyi cast a glance at the impulsive person, then at Mother Xia, before finally saying to the officer, "Comrade, I will have to trouble you."

Hearing Xia Chuyi's words, the officer promptly replied, "It's no trouble at all; it's our duty!"

Subsequently, the officers opened a case file and began preparing the subsequent procedures.

As for Xia Chuyi and the others, they departed from the Police Station.

Once outside the station, Xia Chuyi remained silent, making no move.

It was Ou Jun who stepped forward, preparing to question Mother Xia.

Upon seeing this, Mother Xia immediately appeared frightened and took refuge behind the impulsive person and his girlfriend.

Clearly, Mother Xia understood her precarious position and sought someone to rely upon.
