I Transmigrate as a Single Mother of the Three Antagonists-Chapter 65 - Conflict
Chapter 65: Conflict
Qiu Tong had already arranged to meet the real estate agent to view houses, but halfway there, she received a call from the agent.
The agent told her apologetically that the owner of the house had something on and would only be back later.
Qiu Tong had no choice but to reschedule her appointment with the agent before heading home.
Her original intention was to make use of this rare free time to bring Ye Luan to buy some new clothes and supplies, before visiting the three children.
She did not expect to see a police car approaching her house.
“What are you doing outside my house?”
Qiu Tong said loudly when she saw the police confronting Ye Luan.
“We received a report saying that there was a homeless child here. The household registration office also said that the child’s registered residence is not here.”
“According to the rules, we have to bring the child back to the police station. We have to contact the child’s family or send the child to the local welfare center. Either way, we can’t let him stay at your house.”
The policeman sized Qiu Tong up from head to toe, as if he was looking at a criminal who did human trafficking.
Qiu Tong objected. She glanced at Ye Luan, who was on his guard, and stood in front of the police.
“I don’t know who called the police, but you can’t take this child away from me.”
The policeman looked at Qiu Tong suspiciously and pointed at Ye Luan.
“Since you put it that way, I’d like to ask you, where did this child come from?” fre𝑒𝘸𝚎𝚋n૦ѵℯl.c𝒐𝘮
“Do I have any reason to suspect that you’re carrying out human trafficking? Now, you have to come with me too.”
Qiu Tong’s eyes darkened. She had to go with the police.
She stroked Ye Luan’s hair comfortingly and got into the police car with the police.
The children witnessed this scene clearly from the shadows.
Qiu Xingyu looked at her brothers anxiously.
“Elder Brother, aren’t they here to take Ye Luan away? Why did they bring Mommy along?”
Qiu Xingyuan and Qiu Xingqiao looked at each other in dismay. It was clear that they had not expected things to turn out this way either.
“Elder Brother, quickly think of something. Mommy is already in the car. Do you really want Mommy to be arrested by the police?”
Qiu Xingyu looked at Qiu Tong’s slender back, her heart in complete turmoil as she looked at her brother with teary eyes.
“Since she chose to protect Ye Luan, let her go to the police station. If we don’t let that woman suffer a little, she won’t think of us.”
Qiu Xingyuan’s tone was cold and unyielding as he looked at the police car gradually disappearing into the distance. However, his eyes were filled with conflict and darkness.
“Elder Brother is right. We shouldn’t care about her.”
Qiu Xingqiao was stubborn and pushed his sister back. “Let’s go back to the hotel. That woman doesn’t want us anymore. I don’t care if she goes to the police station.”
Although Qiu Xingqiao said this, he still turned to look at the police car. He only turned back after the police car had completely disappeared.
Meanwhile, Qiu Tong and Ye Luan were separated after they were brought to the police station.
The police brought Ye Luan to the reception room but brought Qiu Tong to the interrogation room.
“I’ve already said this many times. Ye Luan didn’t appear out of thin air, nor is his origin unknown.”
“He was officially adopted by me. However, the procedures have not been completed yet, so his household register has not been amended.”
Qiu Tong didn’t know how many times she had explained herself, but the police didn’t believe her.
At this moment, the door of the interrogation room was pushed open by a middle-aged man.
The police officer stood up and whispered into the middle-aged man’s ear, “Chief, this woman is suspected of human trafficking, but she’s very tight-lipped and won’t say anything.”
Chief Officer Fang picked up the documents on the table and flipped through a couple pages before throwing them in front of Qiu Tong.
“You said you adopted him. What about the adoption certificate?”
Qiu Tong rolled her eyes, her temper rising.
“I’ve already said that the adoption paperwork has not been completed yet…”
“Nonsense. According to the rules, you’re not allowed to bring the child home before the paperwork is completed.”
Chief Officer Fang interrupted her.
“I think you abducted the child and brought him here to sell. You still dare to deny it when there’s concrete evidence.”
“Bring her to the detention center. Get ready to hand her over to the prosecutor immediately.”
Qiu Tong was obviously unwilling to comply. She looked coldly at the self-opinionated police chief and pushed away the police officers who were about to take her away forcefully. She stared at them with bloodshot eyes and said, “I’ll say it again, I didn’t kidnap the child!”
“How dare you attack the police!” Chief Officer Fang was furious. He slammed the table and stood up.
“Hurry up and capture her!”
“Come at me if you dare!”
At this critical moment, a deep and dignified male voice sounded from the door.
Chief Officer Fang turned around and was about to scold this person who dared to challenge his authority. However, when he saw the rank of a second lieutenant on the other party’s shoulder, he swallowed his words.
It was Shao An.
