Chapter 166: Time to Call the Police

In just a little while, the living room became filled with people. Even Master and Madame Xiao had been woken up.

Madame Xiao looked at Ning Shu with displeasure written on her face. "What are you doing in the middle of the night? Are you trying to disturb the entire family?"

Ning Shu swept a cold glance at Madame Xiao, then kicked the woman on the ground. "This person tried to kill me. I've called the police."

Ning Shu recognized this woman. She was the Xiao family's cook.

When Master Xiao heard that Ning Shu had already called the police, he immediately said sternly, "What are you blowing up the matter for? And you even went as far as to call the police over such a small matter? Don't you feel ashamed for letting the world know about your private matters? And aren't you completely fine right now? Humph, you're completely raising a fuss over nothing."

Ning Shu: …

The heck was with that? If it weren't for the fact that she had quick reflexes, she would have already been dead right now. These people were unbelievable.

Ning Shu discovered that this world was seriously twisted. There didn't appear to be any awareness of the law at all. It was as if the male lead was all powerful and could deal with everything, and that something like the police didn't exist. It seemed as if it was fine even if the male lead killed someone, people would just feel that the male lead was very cool.

This, this…

Not long later, the sound of police sirens could be heard and the police soon arrived. The person leading asked, "Who was the one that called the police?"

Before Ning Shu could even speak, Master Xiao grumbled with disdain, "Bothering the citizens in the middle of the night!"

That sternness, that aloof manner ah. He acted as if he was so impressive. Ning Shu was speechless. No matter how amazing this Xiao family was, in the end they were nothing but businessmen. However, they still dared to act like they were the boss in front of the government? It was seriously unbelievable.

She finally understood where Xiao Yan's idiotic personality came from. So it turned out to be an inheritance ah.

The police captain was taken aback by Master Xiao's att.i.tude for a moment, however, he was someone of the government so there was no way he would act humble towards others. He was already tired due to being called out of bed in the middle of the night, so now that Master Xiao treated him with this att.i.tude, his expression became very displeased.

Ning Shu said, "I was the one that called the police. This person on the ground tried to murder me. This is the weapon she used."

She then made a scared expression as she said to the captain, "I don't know why she wanted to kill me."

The captain didn't question why the murderer in question seemed half-dead while the victim was completely fine and just said to his team members, "Cuff her."

Two officers dragged the woman up from the ground and left. Their att.i.tude irked Master Xiao. He gave a cold humph, then complained, "What kind of police are you? There's no regulations in the way you handle things at all."

In Master Xiao's opinion, for better or for worse, the cook belonged to the Xiao family. The way these police were acting was showing a completely lack of respect for the Xiao family.

The captain paid no attention to Master Xiao and just said to Ning Shu, "You have to come with us as well to give a written statement."

Ning Shu very cooperatively went with them to the police station to give a statement. Before she left, she hinted to the police that a cook wouldn't have such guts and that there was definitely something behind it.

A lot more little things had to be taken care of, so it was already dawn by the time Ning Shu got out.

She turned back to glance at the police station.

Just like how fish were bound by their ponds, the nations were stronger than the citizens. All nations had some strong tools that they kept hidden from the world. In front of the nation, the Xiao family was just fart.

When Ning Shu got back to the Xiao family home, she was welcomed by Master Xiao's disgust-filled look. He always acted so aloof and arrogant as if he held control over everyone's fates.

For some reason, the Xiao family members always felt that they were a level better than everyone else. Who knew where this feeling of superiority came from? Could it be just due to the fact that Xiao Yan was the main character of this world?

Right after Ning Shu got back, Xiao Yan came back with the two little kids. There was a relaxed smile on Xiao Yan's face.

Even the two little kids were smiling sweetly.

Chapter 167: Because the Cook Hated Her

After Xiao Yan and the two kids entered the Xiao family home, they saw Ning Shu and their expressions stiffened before being replaced with disbelief.

Xiao Yan was an adult so he immediately concealed his disappointment, but the two kids pouted unhappily like they were on the brink of tears. Su Xiaobao couldn't hold it back and burst into tears with a 'wah.'

She sounded very angry. As she wiped her tears, she glared blamefuly at Ning Shu with frustration and disappointment.

Ning Shu lifted her brows. What? Was it that disappointing to see that she was completely fine and not dead?

Master Xiao and Madame Xiao immediately smiled when they saw the two precious darlings. They kept saying that they missed them to death, aiyah, that they missed them so much their hearts hurt and such blather.

The moment the children came, they cleared away the heavy atmosphere in the Xiao family. As Su Xiaobao responded cutely to the Xiao family parents, she stared at Ning Shu with resentment.

Ning Shu met Xiao Yan's gaze and Xiao Yan instantly felt as if a bucket of cold water was poured on him and slowly freezing him.

That feeling was as if everything he was thinking was seen through. It made him feel guilty and angry from the sense of humiliation.

"You malicious woman! What did you do now?" shouted Xiao Yan. Ning Shu simply looked at him coldly as she took a step forward. Xiao Yan instinctively retreated backwards.

When he realized that he was actually scared of this fake, malicious woman, he immediately shouted to cover his embarra.s.sment. "You…"

At this time, a person in police uniform walked in. It was the captain of the team from yesterday.

No one from the Xiao family greeted him when he walked in, so Ning Shu took the initiative to speak first. "Captain, did that woman confess?"

The captain looked at Ning Shu and said, "She confessed. She said she only decided to kill you because she hated you."

The f.u.c.k!? What hatred could there be between her and a cook? Ning Shu glanced at Xiao Yan. He was sitting on the sofa with a pleased expression on his face as he looked at the police with disdain.

The captain said to Ning Shu, "Based on her confession, she grew to hate you because you were always humiliating her, saying that her cooking wasn't good, picking faults, and even hitting her."

Ning Shu: …

Xiao Yan sneered. "Su Ran, I can't believe you're cruel to the point you even torment the servants."

Ning Shu turned around and looked at Xiao Yan. Her heart was filled with murderous intent. He tried to kill her and was even trying to frame her!

She just didn't know what perks Xiao Yan had given the cook.

The captain didn't say anything. He exchanged a few more words with Ning Shu, then left.

Ning Shu turned to look at Xiao Yan who looked completely smug, then gave a cold laugh.

Xiao Yan was very disappointed to find that Ning Shu was still alive. He didn't even want to look at her anymore and immediately left with the two children.

Although Master and Madame Xiao wanted the children to stay, they felt that it was unsafe for the children to stay while this vicious woman was here.

Ning Shu ignored all of their contemptful, displeased looks and quietly waited for the Xiao family to collapse.
