Chapter 174: Police Station Mediation

Chapter 174: Police Station Mediation

Xiao Jiliang's fear was completely replaced by anger. She had also gone to her daughter's house but was sent away. Why could Wang Xiaocui's family enjoy themselves in their own home?

Su An, hearing Xiao Jiliang's shouting, tossed her cards aside and stood up.

Xiao Jiliang started to regain her composure.

"What... what are you going to do?"

Su An glared at her coldly, "What do you think?"

Xiao Jiliang stammered, "Buying groceries, right? I'll go now..."

Watching Xiao Jiliang dash out with a basket like her life depended on it, Su An frowned impatiently. She came back so quickly.

She knew from her past life that Xiao Jiliang and the Wang family matriarch didn't get along. Xiao Jiliang, a city dweller, looked down on the small-town matriarch.

The Wang family matriarch, as the mother-in-law, also resented Zhao Xiaoyu for helping her own family. She must have lost the battle with the Wang family matriarch and was sent packing.

"That old hag, just like Ji Qingqing, is completely useless. She couldn't even stand up to the Wang family matriarch and was sent packing in two days—just a home bully!"

"Alright, let's stop playing and clean up. Mom, Su Jiao's been in for three days; we should check with the police."

"We don't have a phone at home, and the address we gave is on Fuqing Street. The cops wouldn't know where to find us!"

Su An told her brother and Ren San to stay home and took her mom to the west city.

Su An and her mom arrived right on time. At that moment, Su Jianjun and Ji Qingqing, with Lu Jin'an, were discussing something inside the station.

Seeing Su An and her mom walk in, Deng Wenjie rushed to greet them.

"Ms. Su, we were just looking for you."

Wang Xiaocui said awkwardly, "Sorry, sorry, the officers have been working hard."

"Did you catch the scammer?"

Deng Wenjie struggled to describe the team leader's attitude towards the young man inside. "He's been caught, but there seems to be some confusion!"

Su An's eyes darkened. She knew it was impossible to pin this matter on Su Jiao. As long as Su Jianjun or Ji Qingqing were willing to take the blame, it would turn into a family dispute again.

"Confusion? Officer, this is no confusion. My money was really taken by fraud!"

Deng Wenjie led Su An and Wang Xiaocui into a mediation room inside.

Su Jianjun and Ji Qingqing were sitting inside, accompanied by a police officer who seemed to be a small leader, talking to a young man.

Deng Wenjie knocked on the door and called inside, "Team Leader Yang, Ms. Su is here."

The man called Team Leader Yang immediately looked up towards the door, "Oh, that's just in time. Let them come in, everyone sit down together and clear up this confusion!"

Su An's face was a bit ugly, but she was mentally prepared and not too disappointed.

Sure enough, as soon as the mother and daughter sat down, Team Leader Yang explained to Su An in a good-natured manner.

"Ms. Su An, you see this is your biological father, right? Actually, this matter is just a confusion. Mr. Su Jianjun has already explained it to us. Indeed, raising children is the shared responsibility of both parents, not just one party. Of course, this is not just my casual talk, our country has relevant legal provisions."

"After Mr. Su Jianjun and Ms. Wang Xiaocui divorced, Ms. Wang Xiaocui gave up the direct custody of the children, but that doesn't mean she has no obligation to support you..."

"We have also identified the sender of the letters previously received by Wang Xiaocui. They were written by Su An's younger sister, Su Jiao, but she was just following orders from Su Jianjun."

Wang Xiaocui was furious, "What do you mean by following orders? This is just plain fraud. When we divorced, he personally told me he would keep the two children by his side to raise them, and he didn’t ask me for any child support. Later, he used my daughter's name to scam money out of me. If it were really his own idea, why didn’t he write to me directly or have my daughter write to me? Why go through such a roundabout way to find a scammer to impersonate my daughter?"

"Officers, don’t be deceived by them. It must be the wicked stepmother and her daughter committing fraud. Now that the incident has come to light, the whole family is putting on a show. Over the years, they have drained me dry, treated my kids like dirt, and scammed money. Everyone knows the police are supposed to uphold justice for us common people. In such matters, you must come down hard on them!"

Captain Yang was momentarily speechless by Wang Xiaocui's tirade and instinctively turned to look at the young man beside him.

Then, he steeled himself and repeatedly explained to Wang Xiaocui the parents' duty to their kids!

Su An glanced at the young man and quickly thought of the real estate mogul that Su Jiao would later be associated with.

Su Jianjun insisted that this was his idea, and he had the right to ask for child support from Wang Xiaocui, the mother, on behalf of the children.

With someone above protecting them, Su Jianjun stepping forward to take the blame, and Su Jiao being only twelve or thirteen years old five years ago...

It would be difficult to convict her!

Su An interrupted Captain Yang's lengthy speech about "parents should be harmonious for the sake of their children, and children should be grateful," "Captain Yang, you keep saying this is child support, but not a single penny of this money was spent on us. This is just fraud disguised as child support!"

"Five hundred bucks in child support over five years? You’re the captain of the A City Police Bureau—what’s your monthly salary?"

"My brother has been out in society for almost four years and basically doesn’t need child support. In fact, he sends several hundred dollars home every year to support me and my education. Why would I need my mother to send child support?"

"The two hundred dollars for 'connections' and the various items like medicine and stationery requested in the letters are all fabricated!"

"If you classify this as a family dispute and label this money as 'child support,' my mother has the right to demand the return of this 'child support' that was never spent on us."

"What this money is really about, I think everyone knows. There are indeed many ungrateful people these days, but milking the ex-wife to support the new family is not something worth promoting, is it?"

Su An directly tore off the superficial cover, almost explicitly stating that everyone knows what’s really going on, and you are shielding them. Su Jianjun is ungrateful, milking his ex-wife to support his new wife.

Su Jianjun was instantly furious, "You little brat..."

Captain Yang's eyes flickered, and he turned to look at the young man beside him. He could cut them some slack, but he wasn’t the type to ignore the victims' plight for profit!

Su Jianjun cursed Su An for being an unfilial ingrate, and Wang Xiaocui also stood with her hands on her hips, cursing back at Su Jianjun. Su An pulled Captain Yang, crying and demanding to file a report, accusing Su Jianjun of abuse, human trafficking, and even planning to sue in court!

After an hour and a half of heated argument, the mother and daughter, exhausted, left the police station with a mediation agreement and the over eight hundred dollars that Wang Xiaocui had sent to Su Jiao over the years.

The money was provided by the man named Lu Jin'an, but Wang Xiaocui's medical expenses were not reimbursed at all.

Hearing Su Jianjun's relentless curses behind them, Su An, with a dark expression, pulled Wang Xiaocui towards the southern part of the city.

Wang Xiaocui was confused, "An An, isn’t home the other way?"

Su An coldly replied, "Mom, we’re going to the canned food factory to report him. If we don’t get him fired this time, I’ll eat my hat!"
