Chapter 444 What a tragic family of three
Reading Settings
Because the door was closed at the time, and only the two of them were inside, no one knew what had happened inside.
When the door opened, she didn't faint, but her complexion was indeed terrible, and there was a wound on her forehead.
But Qiao Xiaoyun not only fainted, her face was deathly pale and bloodless, and there was blood on her forehead. When several neighbors came forward to help carry her, they all said with certainty that Qiao Xiaoyun was more seriously injured and had fainted!
His breathing was extremely weak!
Of course, Qiao Qiao's outstanding performance also contributed to this success.
The cries of children are the most touching, and many people's eyes welled up with tears as they listened to Qiao Qiao's mournful cries.
So no matter how Cao's mother argued or how hysterically she claimed that Qiao Xiaoyun had beaten her alone, no one believed her, not even the police or the neighbors.
Some people even pointed at Cao's mother and said, "Cao family, don't go too far. Your son has caused Meng's son to be in a coma, and now you've beaten Xiaoyun like this. Are you trying to kill this whole family?"
"You say you're going to complain to the city or the province, then go ahead. We're not without legs. At worst, we'll accompany the Pei family to see if the leaders listen to your family or everyone else."
"That's right, that's right, we'll all be witnesses for the Meng family then!"
"You also said Xiaoyun hit you? Look at your physique, and then look at Xiaoyun's. Is that even possible?"
"I think the Cao family is just taking advantage of the fact that we can't see them. They beat Xiaoyun up in the house, and when they got scared, they banged their heads against the wall to injure themselves, trying to use that to frame Xiaoyun. That's really wicked."
"The Cao family, you can't be so heartless! Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning for doing this?!"
"..."
Accusations and complaints from neighbors followed one after another. Cao's mother was beaten and then falsely accused of hitting the car herself, which made her so angry that she felt like her lungs were about to explode.
She did want to pretend to faint, but she just couldn't. She only felt dizzy, and the world would spin if she made any big movements.
She was diagnosed with a moderate concussion.
Qiao Xiaoyun was diagnosed with serious injuries and is still unconscious.
The doctor couldn't find anything wrong, so he suggested to the Qiao family that they should send him to a big hospital as soon as possible, because they were afraid there was nothing they could do.
Qiao Xiaoyun remained unconscious, and all her vital signs were poor, possibly indicating severe injuries that could not be detected on the surface.
When Meng Zhengcheng, who was searching for the whereabouts of the other four members of the Cao family, arrived at the hospital, he assumed that Qiao Xiaoyun had really been beaten by Cao's mother and seriously injured because he hadn't had time to inform the rest of the Qiao family.
His eyes, already bloodshot from staying up all night, became even redder, as if they were about to bleed.
At that moment, the way he looked at Cao's mother was as if he wanted to devour her alive.
Startled, Cao's mother scurried backward like a quail, nearly falling off the hospital bed.
"Brother Meng, Brother Meng..."
Seeing that Meng Zhengcheng was acting strangely, and fearing that he might really lose control and beat up Cao's mother, the two policemen who were with him quickly grabbed his arms from the left and right.
Meng Zhengcheng shook off their hands, turned around, and violently kicked over a stool placed next to the hospital bed.
The stool disintegrated in mid-air and finally fell to the ground in pieces.
He covered his sore and burning eyes and squatted down on the ground.
Warm liquid seeped out between his fingers.
If Qiao Qiao's performance brought tears to everyone's eyes, then Meng Zhengcheng's actions now made everyone's hearts ache, and their hearts ached.
Everyone in the apartment building knows Meng Zhengcheng's character. He has been working diligently at the police station all these years and has never used his power to oppress anyone.
Although he had a scar on his face that looked frightening, none of the children or elderly people in the tenement building were afraid of him.
This is inseparable from his usual cheerful and humorous speaking style.
Such a good person, such a good family, and now they've been forced into this state... No one can remain unmoved.
"Xiao Meng, don't be like this. You have to hang in there. Xiao Yun and the child are counting on you!" An elderly woman came over and patted Meng Zhengcheng on the back, saying with heartache.
Hearing this, the others also cheered them on.
"Yes, yes, Director Meng, don't be afraid, we're all here for you, we're all on your side."
"The Cao family is too wicked! No, I'm going to write a letter of denunciation to the Cao couple's workplace!"
"Okay, you write it, and we'll all sign it! We'll file a joint complaint!"
"Yes, yes, such heartless people can't stay in the tenement building any longer!"
Several other neighbors who came over also wiped away tears while echoing the person who said they would write a letter of denunciation.
Everyone felt that Meng Zhengcheng was too pitiful. His child's head was cracked open and his life was unknown. Now his wife had also been beaten unconscious.
Meng Zhengcheng, as the deputy director of the police station, was completely helpless and was even countersued by the perpetrator!
Even Dou E couldn't have been as wronged as the Meng family.
"???" Cao's mother, who was in the same ward.
Cao's mother began to wonder if the world had gone mad!
She looked at the unconscious Qiao Xiaoyun, then at Meng Zhengcheng squatting on the ground. Her mind, still fogged up from hitting the wall, was becoming increasingly confused.
She even started to doubt herself.
Did she really hit Qiao Xiaoyun?
And hit really hard?
Did they beat her until she was unconscious?
The injury on her forehead was actually caused by her own bumping into something, not by Qiao Xiaoyun grabbing her and causing it.
Just as Cao's mother was having such self-doubt, Qiao Qiao, who had come from Meng Zihuan's ward with Qiao Changdong, quickly pushed through the crowd and hugged her uncle, who was in tears and on the verge of collapse in the ward.
In front of outsiders, it seemed like she was comforting him, but in reality, she was telling him the truth in a private way.
"Really?" Meng Zhengcheng's eyes were as red as blood.
Qiao Qiao nodded seriously, and at the same time felt that the time was about right, so she quickly woke up Qiao Xiaoyun.
As soon as Qiao Xiaoyun let out a soft moan from her hospital bed, Meng Zhengcheng immediately pounced on her.
Qiao Xiaoyun only suffered minor injuries; those injuries were inflicted on herself while she was holding Cao's mother's hand.
However, injuries like concussions are difficult to diagnose without instruments.
Qiao Xiaoyun kept complaining of dizziness and pain. In addition, as a doctor herself, she knew all too well what the symptoms of a concussion were.
She was even more convincing than Cao's mother; not only could the police at the police station not tell the difference, but even her colleagues had no way of judging.
Although Meng Zhengcheng knew it was fake, seeing the bloody scratches on her neck and arms still made his eyes sting with heartache.
"It's all my fault for being useless," he said, his voice choked with emotion. "I couldn't protect you and our son."
His son was beaten so badly, but he couldn't even catch the culprit. His wife was even hospitalized because of this. Meng Zhengcheng had never felt so frustrated.
The nature of the incident between Qiao Xiaoyun and Cao's mother was ultimately determined to be a mutual fight.
