CHAPTER 69: CHAPTER 69: THE ABUSED WOMAN (4)

After waiting a long time, Liu Xin still kept her head down, not saying a word, and Lin Xiaoyan sighed.

"Are you wondering about the domestic violence issue?"

To prevent what might happen that night, Lin Xiaoyan decided to directly unveil Liu Xin’s situation.

Liu Xin suddenly looked up, staring at Lin Xiaoyan.

"The first day you came, the wounds on your face showed clearly they weren’t from a fall.

Yesterday, when you came, I saw the marks on your arm, likely whipped by something..."

Liu Xin listened to Lin Xiaoyan’s words, her face flushed red, head bowed, urgently wanting to leave.

She felt as if she had been stripped bare, feeling extremely embarrassed.

Lin Xiaoyan held onto Liu Xin, "The police officer yesterday was called by me. My goal is to hope you will have the courage to stand up so that you won’t be hurt anymore."

"If you don’t want to, that’s fine, I just couldn’t stand seeing it happen."

After Lin Xiaoyan spoke, she looked at Liu Xin, hoping she could overcome her inner cowardice.

Liu Xin kept her head down, tears dropping one by one, "Can I... escape?"

Lin Xiaoyan frowned, "Yes, of course you can! Leave that man and live happily ever after, no more beatings, no more fear!"

Listening to Lin Xiaoyan’s words, Liu Xin looked up, "What should I do?"

Lin Xiaoyan pulled Liu Xin along, pointing at the police station across, "Do you see that police station? Be brave and go in, report it! Seek help, let them find a way for you!"

"But... but I have no evidence..."

"Don’t worry, I’ll speak to them, go ahead."

Lin Xiaoyan patted Liu Xin’s shoulder to comfort her.

Liu Xin looked at Lin Xiaoyan and nodded heavily, "Okay."

Watching Liu Xin walk towards the police station, Lin Xiaoyan immediately took out her phone to make a call.

"Hello, this is Lin Xiaoyan..."

Mao Hong received Lin Xiaoyan’s call, and upon hearing her words, she immediately got up and went to the hall.

Arriving at the hall, she saw Liu Xin already sitting there, nervously stuttering about her situation.

Mao Hong walked over and patted the shoulder of the policeman taking notes.

"Sister Hong?"

Mao Hong nodded, "I’ll take her inside to find the captain."

"Okay."

Mao Hong looked at Liu Xin and said softly, "Come with me."

Liu Xin recognized this policewoman as the one who came to the store yesterday. She thought the policewoman was probably a friend of Lin Xiaoyan, so she immediately got up and followed her.

"Please wait here for a moment, let me speak to the captain first." Mao Hong led Liu Xin to the office door and asked her to wait outside for a bit.

Liu Xin nodded repeatedly, "Okay."

Mao Hong went in, found He Qi’an, and explained the situation.

"Xiao Lin called and said this woman was severely beaten by her husband tonight, picked up a knife, and killed her husband...

Then killed her mother-in-law...

Also stabbed a little boy to death..."

Mao Hong spoke, her face showing resentment, "It seems that woman was severely bullied by that family; otherwise, she wouldn’t have killed them all!"

He Qi’an appeared serious upon hearing of another Ningbo case, "What’s her current situation?"

"Being abused."

He Qi’an looked at the woman outside, "Call her in."

"Alright."

Mao Hong looked at Liu Xin, and Liu Xin also looked at Mao Hong as she waved her hand, signaling her to come in.

Liu Xin looked timidly at the policemen in the office, taking a deep breath as she walked in, hoping they could save her...

In the afternoon, Lin Xiaoyan was so busy delivering all the orders that she finally sat down for a breather.

She took out her phone and saw Sister Hong sent a message saying everything had been arranged, Captain He personally advised Mao Hong, and they should see results in a few days.

Meanwhile, Lin Xiaoyan received a message from Liu Xin, thanking her.

Seeing progress in Liu Xin’s matter, Lin Xiaoyan breathed a sigh of relief, hoping this unfortunate woman could find relief.

Don’t do anything foolish.

It’s not worth sacrificing herself for that scumbag!

"Ding dong..."

Lin Xiaoyan heard the door being pushed open, immediately stood up, a smile on her face.

"Hello..."

"Lin Xiaoyan?!!!"

When Lin Xiaoyan saw the familiar person walking in, she was stunned but quickly regained composure, nodding, "It’s me, hello, what would you like to drink?"

Susan seemed surprised to see Lin Xiaoyan, her eyes sparkling with a mixture of disdain and smugness.

"Well, well, who would have thought, Lin Xiaoyan, you didn’t stay at the company, instead you’re here selling bubble tea, ha!"

Lin Xiaoyan raised an eyebrow, "Is there a problem?"

"Hahaha..."

Susan viewed Lin Xiaoyan’s attire and couldn’t help but laugh.

"Back then you had connections at the company, why not stay there?"

Susan pursued the question.

Lin Xiaoyan: "What you care about doesn’t mean others do.

What would you like to drink?"

Susan looked at Lin Xiaoyan, then lowered her gaze to choose a bubble tea, saying slowly, "I got hired by the company, now I’m working in the HR department. If you want to return to Jingrui, I could put in a good word for you with the manager to give you an interview opportunity!"

Her speech was full of arrogance.

Lin Xiaoyan smiled and shook her head, "Thanks, but no need. I really like this job."

Susan sneered upon hearing Lin Xiaoyan’s refusal, not believing her words at all.

"One coconut jelly bubble tea, please."

"Alright, please wait a moment." Lin Xiaoyan quickly placed the order, printed the receipt, and turned around to make the tea.

As Susan watched Lin Xiaoyan skillfully prepare bubble tea, she secretly took out her phone and snapped a photo.

"Ding dong..."

"Hello, welcome." Upon hearing someone enter, Lin Xiaoyan looked up and saw He Qi’an.

"Just a moment."

He Qi’an nodded and waited aside.

Susan’s eyes lit up seeing the man in police uniform, thinking he looked ridiculously handsome!

"Here is your coconut jelly bubble tea." Lin Xiaoyan handed the tea to Susan.

Susan took it and glanced at the police officer next to her.

Seeing him walk over, Lin Xiaoyan looked at He Qi’an, "I just saw the message from Sister Hong, thank you."

He Qi’an: "No need to thank me, it’s my job. If anyone deserves thanks, it’s you. Luckily, you convinced her to come to the police station, otherwise..."

He Qi’an’s piercing gaze turned towards Susan.

Susan was startled by He Qi’an’s imposing look, she took a step back but didn’t want to leave easily.

"Xiao Yan, is this... your friend?"

Lin Xiaoyan glanced at the changing face of Susan, really not wanting to deal with her.

He Qi’an noticed Lin Xiaoyan’s expression and looked at the woman gesturing and blinking excessively, showing impatience in his eyes.

"Ma’am, please leave."

He Qi’an said coldly.

Susan’s smile froze, wanting to argue, but seeing He Qi’an’s icy gaze, she quickly took her leave.
