TFSRITA Chapter 105

The original owner had nothing; all her cousins had phones, and she could only watch enviously.

So, when Yan Qing came out, she brought nothing with her and, wearing a dress, didn’t have a single cent.

She ran her fingers through her damp hair, stepped out of the pavilion, and let the sunlight warm her. In August, what had been scorching heat now felt pleasant. She walked forward at a leisurely pace, but with each step, her canvas shoes made a squelching sound as if they were stepping in water.

The sun was intense, quickly evaporating the moisture in the air, and the temperature gradually rose. After ten minutes of walking, Yan Qing felt that her clothes were already half dry.

At this point, she had arrived at the police station’s entrance.

Seeing her in such a disheveled state, a middle-aged police officer happened to pass by and softly asked, “Little girl, what happened to you?”

Yan Qing bit her lip and looked up at the officer with watery eyes, her voice trembling as she said, “Uncle Police, my uncle hit me, sob… and my aunt, they always hit me…”

The officer’s expression turned serious. “Little girl, come inside with me. Let’s talk slowly, don’t cry, don’t cry…”

Yan Qing nodded obediently, her hands nervously fidgeting. Her clothes and hair reflected her current state of distress; she had been caught in the rain for quite a while.

The middle-aged officer felt a pang of pity for her. This little girl must have suffered so much.

Upon closer inspection, he noticed bruises on her arms. After all this time, Yan Xianhong had not been gentle, and now her injuries were turning purple, looking quite alarming.

Yan Qing sensed his gaze and lowered her head even more, revealing a large bump on her scalp.

This was the result of Yan Xianhong angrily pulling her back, causing her to hit her head against the wall.

“Captain Liu, what’s wrong with this little girl?” A pretty young woman approached and asked as she noticed them.

The middle-aged officer first spoke gently to Yan Qing. “Little girl, sit here for now. Uncle will be right back.”

Yan Qing still looked pitiful as she nodded and walked over, her movements betraying a timidness as if she had been bullied for a long time.

Seeing her walk away a bit, the middle-aged officer lowered his voice. “I suspect this child is a victim of domestic violence, and it’s not just her parents. You should take her to the office to understand the situation, document everything, and check her injuries. Sigh, such a small child, she looks malnourished…”

The policewoman immediately took on a serious expression and nodded earnestly. “Yes, Captain Liu!”

Then Captain Liu took Yan Qing to the office and spoke kindly to her. “Little girl, come with this sister to sit for a while. If you have anything to say, just tell her. We police will help you, okay?”

Yan Qing nodded and, once he finished speaking, looked up at him with a shy, grateful smile. “Thank you, Uncle.”

“No need to thank me, it’s what I should do.” Captain Liu smiled and ruffled her sparse hair gently, brushing against the noticeable bump. His eyes flashed with a hint of anger as he saw her frown slightly, still frozen in place. It made him feel even more furious.

What a lovely girl, like a flower bud, yet she had been beaten so badly, and even in her fear, she didn’t dare to pull away.

He withdrew his hand and let the policewoman take her inside. He then turned to go find the officer responsible for examining injuries, determined to teach the perpetrator a lesson.

As a victim of domestic violence, Yan Qing cooperated fully with the officers’ inquiries, softly recounting everything that had happened to her, including how the Yan family treated her and the details of her situation.

Hearing her story, the policewoman was infuriated, almost wanting to rush to the Yan family and give them a beating.

Of course, that wasn’t an option; they followed procedure, documenting everything before finally bringing Yan Qing back.

Meanwhile, at the Yan family villa, the family members were puzzled.

“This dead girl hasn’t come back yet?”

“What’s going on? It’s been over two hours, and she still dares not to return?”

“She’s not dead outside, is she? If that’s the case, who’s going to apologize to the Chu family? That dead girl is ruining my good plans…”

The harsh words inside the house annoyed several young children, who had already gone upstairs.

The adults remained furious.

Even Yan Qing’s grandparents were displeased. Fat Grandma Yan angrily pounded her chest, gritting her teeth and saying, “What a disgrace! I should have just let her die with the third family!”

Skinny Grandpa Yan scoffed, “Wasn’t it you who insisted on raising her? I told you to send her to the village to find someone to take care of her, but you wouldn’t agree. Now look, she’s ruined the eldest family, aren’t you ashamed?”

Grandma Yan, feeling guilty, lowered her head and muttered, “Isn’t it because she’s the only daughter of the third family? Who knew she would turn out to be such a disgrace!”

She genuinely regretted it; who could have predicted that this burden would cause her precious son such trouble? If they truly offended the Chu family, their family’s good days would be over. They could have postponed the disaster for a while, and now she regretted it!

Inside the house, everyone was in a bad mood, mainly due to the trouble with the Chu family.

At that moment, Yan Qing arrived at the Yan family’s door with several police officers.

Looking at the luxurious house, she realized that this was once her home. Even if it had been inherited, it still belonged to her. The police exchanged glances, all expressing sympathy for the girl.

Yan Qing stopped them from knocking and said softly, “I’ll do it.”

The police withdrew their hands and took a step back.

Yan Qing pressed the doorbell and called out, “Uncle, Aunt, I’m back!”
