Chapter 2428: The Ambulance Arrives

Wang Tian could only stammer ase she was not prepared for such questions. The fact was that Qiao Mei knew very well the kind of person Xia Yuan was.

“How can you expect a young girl to be able to answer these questions! She’s already in such agony. Are you trying to hurt her a second time?” the man questioned.

“I’m talking to her! You have no right to speak!” Qiao Mei stared into the man’s eyes and berated him.

Qiao Mei was known in the capital for being mild-tempered. Although she was a calculative person, she had never really fallen out with anyone. Even when people came knocking on her door to make trouble, Qiao Mei would still deal with them tactfully. This was the first time anyone had seen Qiao Mei so stern.

Back then, everyone in the capital could not understand why a prominent family like the Xia family would let Xia Zhe marry a girl from the countryside. Xia Zhe was the most promising kid of his generation in the Xia family. The Xia family should be fully focused on nurturing him, should they not?

Then again, looking at the way Qiao Mei was behaving now, the people in the room were reminded of Xia Jun’s temper.

“Who is this person?” Qiao Mei asked.

“His surname is Gou, full name is Gou Dan,” Xia Wen said with a laugh.

Qiao Mei knew that Xia Wen said this on purpose. Gou Dan must be very sensitive about people knowing his name (given that it sounded like “dog’s testicles”). In the countryside, the harsh conditions meant that many children did not make it to adulthood. It was said that children would be able to grow up safe and sound if they were given awful names, so his family had given him such a name.

“So you are Gou Dan. Who are you to Wang Tian?” Qiao Mei asked.

“I’m not related to her!” Gou Dan quickly distanced herself from Wang Tian, scared that he would get implicated by what she did.

“Then why are you sticking your nose into other people’s business here?” Qiao Mei said.

“I just can’t stand to witness injustice! I must speak up for justice! I can’t stand to see a grown man bullying a woman!” Gou Dan said.

Qiao Mei nodded and continued, “Alright then. Since all of you insist on getting involved in this matter, I have to make it clear to all of you that ultimately, this matter concerns my eldest brother-in-law’s reputation and the Xia family’s reputation. We will definitely report this matter to the police. We will also inform the army so that they can do their part to investigate.”

The people standing around Gou Dan started to whisper among themselves. They had never imagined that this matter would blow up like this. They thought that the Xia family would be too embarrassed to call the police and would definitely want to settle the issue in private.

“So be it! It’s best if everyone knows what kind of people the Xia family members are!” Gou Dan said agitatedly.

“Alright, once the matter goes to court, everything you say now will be presented as evidence. If you perjure yourself, you will be charged with the same crime as the mastermind. You’d all better think carefully about whether it’s worth sacrificing the rest of your life for whatever small benefit that you are getting!” Qiao Mei said.

In an instant, the entire room fell silent. Everyone turned to look at Gou Dan.

“Why are all of you looking at me!” Gou Dan said self-consciously.

“As everyone knows, I’m the top scorer in the first college entrance examination after the examination is reinstated in the capital. I’ve also studied abroad for a period of time, so I think I know better than everyone else when it comes to matters of the law. If my eldest brother-in-law and my younger cousin-in-law are really in the wrong, would I dare to go to court? Since I dare to say such things, it means that our Xia family is innocent and that we are not afraid of being investigated, but as for all of you…” Qiao Mei looked around and paused for a moment before continuing, “It’s hard to say if you have committed any crime or not.”

“Beep, beep, beep!”

The ambulance sirens could be heard downstairs and the paramedics rushed in not long after. They were puzzled to see that there was no one in the room who had any obvious injuries.

“Which one of you called for the ambulance?” the doctor asked irritably.

“It’s them,” Qiao Mei said as she pointed at Gou Dan.

“She’s unwell! She’s injured! Look at the blood on the floor!” Gou Dan said as he pointed at Wang Tian.

Wang Tian’s main injury was on her head and the blood had already coagulated on her hair. There was only a small amount of blood on the ground and the situation did not look that bad.

“You made a call over such a small injury? Do you know that there are only three ambulances in the entire capital! We’re very busy! You’re simply wasting public resources!” the doctor said.

“How can you say that it is not serious! Look at how swollen her head is!” Gou Dan said.

“Doctor, you should do a check and see if her head injury is serious. What if she has internal injuries that are not visible?” Qiao Mei said.

The doctor did a basic checkup for Wang Tian. After confirming that there were no problems, he said, “It’s just a superficial wound. Next time, call the ambulance only if someone is seriously injured and immobile!”

“Since the doctor is already here, let’s go to the hospital together and get a comprehensive checkup done for her,” Qiao Mei said.

“Yes! We must get her head injury checked out properly!” Gou Dan said.

“And get the gynecology department involved too,” Qiao Mei added.

“Gynecology department?” Wang Tian asked as she looked at Qiao Mei confusedly.

Qiao Mei nodded and said, “Yes, the gynecology department. We must check if you’re still a virgin or not. That way, we will know if my younger brother-in-law really took advantage of you.”
