That night, the hot wind swept through the stifling sumr heat, and the cicadas screeched, making people feel irritated and restless.
At the entrance of the police station, reporters were crouching in the open, while behind the scenes, various prominent families were lurking, all watching the latest developnts.
"I heard Tang Wan and Shen Shuci had a fierce argunt, the police couldn’t even diate."
"Indeed, no relationship can withstand the test of money."
"It probably wouldn’t be Tang Wan who did it. Even if she had any thoughts, she wouldn’t commit a cri in a place like the hospital."
"The key is that they can’t catch the culprit, which raises her suspicion significantly, making it quite intriguing. After all, with the Jiang Family and the Huo Family involved, if things get ugly, what will these two families do?"
...
As people discussed, they noticed a black sedan slowly approaching. After all, this was the police station, and the reporters, seeing the foreign license plate, instinctively made way until the car drove in, and soone exclaid.
"It’s a Pingjiang license plate."
So reporters, with wider connections and more skills, had already traced the owner through the license plate, "It’s Tang Yunxian’s car."

At this ti inside the police station
Tang Wan and Shen Shuci sat on opposite sides, with quite a few onlookers inside the room and in the corridor.
"...You were always with Dad, and it was just the two of you. Just by coincidence, you answered a call and left for a short while, and then my dad had an accident? Don’t you find that too coincidental?" Shen Shuci’s voice was slightly cold, seemingly implying sothing mocking.
"But that’s indeed the case, the police also investigated, and at that ti, I really was taking a call." Tang Wan defended herself.
"It really is quite a coincidence."
"What exactly do you an? Do you really think I’d do sothing to Grandpa? For that bit of money?"
"To anyone, that’s not a small amount of money."
Tang Wan seed to suddenly get emotional and stood up directly from her chair, "You’re saying all this just because you think I’m the culprit. Either provide evidence or stop talking nonsense, or else you’re spreading rumors and slandering."
"Wanwan?" Jiang Jinsang frowned.
"Xiaowu, did you hear what she’s implying?"
"Don’t get excited."
"I..."
Before Tang Wan could finish speaking, Shen Shuci spoke again, "You’re right, the police will definitely find out the culprit and give us an explanation. No one can escape."
The tone was slightly sharp.
Huo Qinqi stood aside, his face cold, saying nothing from start to finish.
"Shen Shuci, I call you Aunt out of respect, but that doesn’t an you’re truly my elder..."
The room was in an uproar, considering their identities and the fact that Tang Wan was pregnant, everyone, even though trying to diate, was being very cautious until the door was suddenly pushed open—
Standing at the door was a man in a simple shirt and suit pants, very elegant and refined. Even though he restrained his sharpness, it could not hide the shadowy gloom in his eyes. Looking at the group of people in the room, his expression grew colder.
The two who were just in a heated argunt instantly went quiet. A group of police officers looked at each other, so seemingly not recognizing who the person was.
"Who is this?"
"Why did they stop arguing all of a sudden?"
"Are you blind? That’s Tang Wan’s father, also Shen Shuci’s brother-in-law."
...
Tang Yunxian glanced around the room, his gaze finally settling on Jiang Jinsang, "Xiaowu, help get a glass of water, I’m a bit thirsty."
Jiang Jinsang nodded, borrowed a disposable cup from the police station staff, filled it with warm water, and handed it to him, while he found an empty seat.
He sat down, drank water, elegant and composed.
"Continue arguing, why did you stop?" His voice was gentle, unhurried, like a breeze in this clamor of sumr.
"Dad." "Brother-in-law." Tang Wan and Shen Shuci spoke.
"I could hear your voices from outside. Now that Father is in the hospital, his life hanging by a thread, the doctor says the situation doesn’t look optimistic. And you two are fighting among yourselves?"
Tang Yunxian raised his hand and tapped the paper cup on the table. Although the sound wasn’t loud, as it wasn’t a porcelain cup, his suddenly raised volu made many people’s hearts tremble.
"You’re making a scene from the hospital to the police station, like a bunch of three-year-olds? Don’t you find it embarrassing?"
"Fighting internally at this mont, do you want people to laugh at our family for free?"
"Brother-in-law..." Shen Shuci was just about to speak.
"Did I allow you to speak!" Tang Yunxian frowned, his attitude forceful.
"Mr. Tang." Huo Qinqi seed very displeased with his attitude.
"You’re engaged but not yet a family mber, and this is our family affair. It’s not your place to intervene, our family still has elders who can decide, it’s not up to outsiders to ddle."
