Chapter 76 Dismissal!

"I don't want to!"

Lin Xixi looked aggrieved, gripping the doll tightly, unwilling to let the little boy take it away.

"I want to play with it. If you don't give it to me, I'm going to call my mom."

The little boy lifted his head and issued a warning.

Seeing this, Lin Xixi had no choice but to give up.

She released the doll, then climbed down from the chair, stood up, and left.

The little boy who got the doll wore a smug smile.

Sure enough, his mom could get him anything he wanted.

Lowering his head, he noticed the front of the doll was a bit wet.

He immediately understood.

"It's so annoying, why would someone leave a mark on the doll? It's just like my little yellow dog!"

In a fit of anger, he threw the doll at Lin Xixi's back.

However.

The doll was thrown out, but because he swung his arm too hard, he accidentally hit the corner of the chair when pulling it back.

It made a 'DANG' sound.

"Wa!"

Crying immediately erupted from his throat.

Not far away, his mother heard the familiar crying, immediately turned her head, then ran quickly to his side, asking about the situation while blowing on the injured hand with her mouth.

"She snatched my toy and hurt my hand!"

"Mom, she bullied me."

Seeing his mother arrive, the little boy cried even harder.

Hearing this, a burst of anger surged from Shen Xiuzhen's heart!

She turned around, her gaze coldly fixed on Lin Xixi.

"Where are your parents?"

As she spoke, she looked around, and then she felt confident.

"Apologize to my child!"

"It wasn't me..." Lin Xixi's eyes were red, and she waved her hands repeatedly.

"He did it himself, and I didn't snatch his toy."

Hearing this, Shen Xiuzhen became even angrier.

Was she calling her son a liar right to her face?

Her right hand was raised high.

"I told you to apologize to my son!"

Xiao Xi trembled all over.

Tears couldn't be controlled and flowed out.

Her two little fists were clenched tight.

"I'm... I'm sorry."

"Hmph, a child with no one to teach her manners."

Just then.

Rapid footsteps came from a distance.

"What's going on?"

Chen Mo's cold voice sounded from behind Lin Xixi.

It was almost noon, and he had intended to take Xiao Xi to eat.

He didn't expect to run into a woman with her hand raised, making a gesture to hit someone.

"Are you her father?"

Shen Xiuzhen looked at the police uniform on Chen Mo, her heart tightened, secretly thinking she was lucky she hadn't actually hit her.

Otherwise, it would have been trouble.

"I am. Please answer my question: why are you hitting a child!"

Chen Mo saw at a glance that this woman was the type to judge people by their appearance. If he admitted to being a relative, there might be a way to resolve this; if he didn't, there probably wouldn't be any result.

After all, she hadn't actually struck her; if she really wanted to be unreasonable, she wouldn't even need to apologize.

"Ask your own child." Shen Xiuzhen said, pretending to be calm.

Hearing this, Chen Mo squatted down.

Then, under Xiao Xi's narration, he understood the whole process of the matter.

"Brother Chen Mo, do you believe me?"

She looked into Chen Mo's eyes, somewhat nervously.

"Of course."

Meeting Xiao Xi's aggrieved eyes, he couldn't help but believe her.

"Snatching others' toys without caring about others' feelings is selfish!"

"Fabricating facts and concealing the truth is lying!"

"Crying because you can't get what you want—is this how you educate your child?"

Chen Mo held Xiao Xi's hand and questioned Shen Xiuzhen, the mother.

This mother was undoubtedly very incompetent.

In his past life, he had watched a short film: the best way to kill a child is infinite indulgence!

And the little boy was currently in this situation.

"How I educate my child has nothing to do with you!"

Shen Xiuzhen retorted unconvinced.

Her own son was the best child in the world; it wasn't up to an outsider to comment.

"I hope you keep this up. You can educate him until he's eighteen, and after that, send him to the Public Security Bureau, and I'll help you educate him."

"You! Don't think you can be so arrogant just because you're a policeman. I have connections at the top; be careful, or I'll have you dismissed!"

Shen Xiuzhen was so angry she saw stars, and she had already started babbling nonsense.

"Brother Chen Mo, I'm fine..."

Xiao Xi tugged on Chen Mo's arm.

She looked like she was begging for it to end, not wanting to add any more trouble to herself.

Sigh.

"Hmph, let's go, son!"

Shen Xiuzhen picked up her son and quickly left with short, hurried steps.

"In the future, if you are bullied, you must tell an adult. At school, you must tell the teacher."

Chen Mo held her hand and walked towards the cafeteria, explaining the precautions.

"But I don't have a mom anymore." Xiao Xi said in a low voice.

The precautions he was about to continue explaining got stuck in his throat.

He squatted down and picked her up.

Recalling the scenes from just now—the toy being snatched away, Xiao Xi being too scared to fight back, the little boy's mother's hand raised high—he felt a sense of speechlessness.

"It's okay. Brother Chen Mo doesn't have a mom or dad either, but isn't he doing just fine now?"

"Then will you cry?"

Xiao Xi looked at Chen Mo and asked curiously.

"I used to cry, but once you become an adult, you don't have the right to cry anymore."

No right to cry?

This question was quite profound for Xiao Xi.

But she could quickly find a reference.

"No wonder when Mom coaxed me to sleep at night, she always cried secretly."

Feng Juan cried secretly?

She probably regretted marrying Lin Dahai.

The injuries on her body...

Actually, for any woman, it was either choosing to endure for the sake of the child having a complete childhood, or getting a divorce.

From the results, Feng Juan loved Lin Xixi very much, often being subjected to domestic violence yet still enduring it.

"Then do you want to cry?" Chen Mo reached out and wiped a tear from the corner of her eye.

"I want to, but I'd better hold it in."

"Mom said that you shouldn't cause trouble for others, or you'll be hated. I think Brother Chen Mo is the same, right?"

Damn!

Chen Mo couldn't help but curse inwardly.

How sensible this child was.

Why did she have to have such an unhappy childhood?

"Brother Mo, I finally found you!"

Xiao Liu was panting. He had searched a few offices earlier and hadn't seen anyone, and he was already preparing to make a call.

"Did you bring Song Wei back?"

"Yeah, brought him back a while ago. Captain Long said to wait for you to come over before starting the interrogation."

Chen Mo nodded, then put Xiao Xi down.

After explaining that he had things to take care of, he signaled Xiao Liu to take her to the cafeteria to eat.

He then walked quickly to the outside of the interrogation room.

"Where did you go?" Captain Long raised an eyebrow.

Chen Mo waved his hand, not wanting to explain the matter with Xiao Xi just now.

"Don't mention it, you'd just be annoyed if I told you."

Hearing this, Captain Long was stunned. If that was the case, then he wouldn't listen.

Otherwise, his good mood would be ruined.

The two of them turned their gazes to the interrogation room.

Song Wei was sitting in the interrogation chair, sporting a crew cut, a square face, wearing a black, expensive-looking suit, and a large gold watch on his wrist. He was full of airs in every move he made.

Since it was all circumstantial evidence, there was no substantial evidence pointing to him as the murderer.

Therefore, the reason for calling him here was for questioning, not interrogation.

"Xiao Zhang, you can start!"
