No one in the house could have imagined that a simple dispute would result in such a bitter ending.

Seeing that both Tang Xiu and Su ShangWen were lying weakly in a pool of blood, everyone lost their minds as screaming, wailing, and cries of help could be heard in successions. Nobody had the mental capacity to find out who was in the right and who was in the wrong anymore.

In a matter of minutes, the police had arrived.

Strangely, when the police had just arrived at the scene, Su ShangWen who was still unconscious a moment ago woke up, following which a groaning sound could be heard coming from Tang Xiu. Seeing that the house was filled with police officers, Su ShangWen was taken aback in shock. As he took a glance at Tang Xiu who was lying on the floor, Su ShangWen's eyes turned red momentarily as he immediately recalled the scene where he got struck by Tang Xiu before he passed out.

"Officers, $3000 was stolen from my family and I suspect that it was this stupid rascal who stole it, I trouble you to arrest him." Su ShangWen couldn't be bothered with the pain in his finger as he pointed at Tang Xiu's nose, gnashing his teeth as he said those words.

"Just now I received a report saying that there was a murder case here, who was the one that made the report?" A voice seemingly like a silver chime resounded through the house. The one leading the squad was actually a valiant looking female officer.

The female officer ignored Su ShangWen's words as she sweep her eyes over to everyone in the house and finally resting her eyes onto Zhang MeiYun as she lowered her voice and asked.

Under that female officer's stern gaze, Zhang MeiYun lowered her head as she felt guilty, stammering as she answered "officer, I was the one who made the report. I thought that my husband had died when I saw him bleeding and not breathing at all so I became flustered and said the wrong thing when I made the report."

After listening to Zhang MeiYun's explanation, Cheng XueMei's facial expression soften a lot.

"Officer, you definitely have to arrest this person, not only did he steal $3000 from us, he even use brute force to clash with me and broke my arm." Just when Cheng XueMei bend over to seriously inspect the condition of both Tang Xiu and Su ShangWen's injuries, Su ShangWen started to make a ruckus again.

Cheng XueMei gave Su ShangWen a stare without saying anything as she continued doing her own stuff. At the same time, she commanded other officers to seal off the area.

"Officer, I'm a close brother of Captain Wang from the Public Security Division, and have also had some drinks with Chief Commander Deng before. Furthermore, I have sponsored your City Police Headquarters on numerous occasions." Seeing that Cheng XueMei was not giving him any attention, Su ShangWen felt that he had lost face and hurriedly tried to inform her of his backings.

"Why don't you say that the City Police Headquarters was opened by you so that I will arrest whoever that you ask me to arrest?" Cheng XueMei was already annoyed with Su ShangWen's bossy attitude and after listening to what he had said, her face was like a cold frost as she lifted her head and ridiculed him.

Su ShangWen evidently didn't expect that even when he revealed his connection with the Chief Commander, this female officer in front of him did not buy it and furthermore felt more disgust towards him. He can't help but to be loss for words in that moment.

Without Su ShangWen disturbing her, Cheng XueMei had quickly finished up with inspecting the condition of Su ShangWen and Tang Xiu's injuries. Cheng XueMei discovered that other than a dislocated elbow, Su ShangWen was hardly injured. On the other hand, there were multiple injuries on Tang Xiu's waist and abdomen, and he seems to be in a semi-conscious state.
