Sheriff Uncle, open the door quickly! I've come to solve a case!

"Star!"

Ma Han rushed into Xingxing's room in a panic, waking her sleeping husband, Meng Anping.

Upon seeing the scene in Xingxing's room, Ma Han gasped.

Grandma, who usually stays at home taking care of Xingxing, is now holding a small needle and about to prick Xingxing's arm.

The star was awakened by the pain and struggled and screamed.

"Star!"

Ma Han rushed over, pushed her grandmother away forcefully, and hugged Xingxing tightly.

"Mommy! Xingxing hurts so much!"

Ma Han rolled up her sleeve, revealing a needle prick on her arm from which blood was seeping.

"Are you crazy! What did you put on your granddaughter?!" Ma Han shouted frantically.

Meng Anping rushed in and saw his elderly mother lying on the ground. Without thinking twice, he immediately lashed out at Ma Han.

"Are you fucking crazy?! What if my mom breaks her leg?!"

Ma Han exposed Xingxing's arm: "Look what your mother has done! She's trying to kill Xingxing!"

The old man sat on the ground glaring at Ma Han: "What do you know? This is talisman water prepared by a master; it's harmless to the human body."

"You still say it's harmless? I went to the hospital today, and the doctor said that if this continues, it will endanger Xingxing's life!" Ma Han stepped forward excitedly, and tried to push her grandmother again.

Meng Anping pushed her down, and Ma Han hit her lower back when she fell, gasping for breath in pain.

"Mom!" Xingxing jumped off the bed and hugged Ma Han, crying loudly.

Grandma was helped up by Meng Anping. With her son's support, she spoke with confidence: "What do you know, you stupid woman? What do doctors know? This talisman water is to bless our Meng family with a son!"

"Male..." Ma Han was so shocked that she couldn't speak.

Beyond shock, there was mostly anger.

In order to supposedly have a son, they actually want to harm the stars?

"You useless woman, your womb is useless, you can't give birth to a boy. I went to a master to get some talismanic water. I've done so much for our family, do you know how hard it is for me?"

Ma Han was trembling with anger. She had been married into the Meng family for so many years, but she never expected that in her mother-in-law's eyes, she had always been a useless person.

She turned to Meng Anping: "Old Meng, why don't you try to persuade your mother?"

Meng Anping looked away and took a step closer to his grandmother: "My mother is right, our family does need a boy."

"But you can't hurt the stars!"

"She won't die, it's nothing serious. If you ask me, girls are just being dramatic. My mom is just trying to put her mind at ease. It'll be fine once she has a boy."

Ma Han slowly clenched her fists, her chest heaving as she braced herself against her sides: "Meng Anping, I really misjudged you..."

Without turning her head, she said in a low voice, "Xingxing, why don't you go out for a bit?"

Xingxing was very obedient; she picked up the phone and watch from the bedside table and ran out.

Halfway there, Grandma tried to grab her to give her a talismanic water, but was pushed aside by Ma Han who pounced on her.

"Don't touch the stars!"

The star was very scared and ran outside, covering its ears.

When Ma Han was captured by Meng Anping, the usually docile and honest man seemed to have a flame burning in his eyes.

"You bastard, how dare you hit my mother?"

Meng Anping was very strong. He pressed Ma Han to the ground, his knee pressing against her abdomen, making it impossible for her to breathe.

Ma Han's voice was forced out: "Let me go... Don't hurt... Xingxing..."

Meng Anping raised his hand, about to strike.

Just as he was about to strike, there was a loud knocking on the living room door. His hand landed in mid-air, and he looked towards the door with a wary expression.

"I'll settle the score with you when I get back," Meng Anping said viciously, then got up to open the door.

Grandma also felt like she had won, with the expression of a wicked woman.

Ma Han lay on the ground, her face pale, when a sudden gust of air made her cough violently.

Meng Anping opened the door, and there stood a tall, handsome man.

The man was still slightly out of breath, as if he had quickly climbed up from downstairs.

"Who are you?" Meng Anping asked warily, closing the door slightly.

Qin Qingzhou adjusted her breathing and gave a friendly smile: "I'm your neighbor next door. I heard you two arguing, so I came over to see if anything was wrong."

Meng Anping rolled his eyes without any attempt to hide it: "What's it to you?"

Where did this scammer come from?

I've never even met this so-called neighbor, and besides, what business is it of his if other people are arguing?

Ma Han struggled to her feet and heard a familiar voice.

They're police officers during the day!

"Police! Officer, please save Xingxing!"

Meng Anping was startled and hurriedly tried to close the door, but a hand reached out and blocked it through the crack.

That hand was incredibly strong; it forcefully pulled the door open.

"Mind your own business!"

Qin Qingzhou opened the door with a cold face: "I'm going to meddle in this mess today."

"You can't go in!" Meng Anping instinctively tried to stop him.

Qin Qingzhou ignored him and walked straight in.

Ma Han ran out of the room, completely disheveled: "Officer! My mother-in-law is the one who poisons Xingxing! She wants to kill Xingxing, and they even tried to hit me!"

Qin Qingzhou quickly learned the situation.

Meng Anping didn't dare to mess with the police and stood aside with his lips pursed.

After listening to Ma Han's explanation, he chuckled dryly: "Officer, she's just exaggerating. Xingxing is our daughter, how could she do such a thing? It's unnecessary. It's just a small family conflict. Every family has its little conflicts."

Qin Qingzhou showed no mercy: "When I came in, I saw your mother holding a syringe."

"According to the Law on the Protection of Minors, your current actions are suspected of intentionally harming a minor. Please come with me."

Grandma immediately sensed something was wrong.

Does this mean they're going to be arrested and put in jail?

She immediately lay down on the ground and started throwing a tantrum, saying that the police were bullying her, which attracted the attention of the neighbors.

Qin Qingzhou contacted the nearby police officers, who arrived and dragged Meng Anping and his mother away.

Ma Han stood to one side, holding Xingxing, silently shedding tears.

Qin Qingzhou walked over and handed her a tissue.

"What will they do?" Ma Han asked timidly.

"Nothing will happen," Qin Qingzhou said truthfully.

"Your husband did not cause any real harm to you or Xingxing, and the police cannot detain him for long. I can only try my best to stall him for you."

"His mother did commit a crime, and we will give her the punishment she deserves."

"You should leave for now and go to a safe place. Your husband might retaliate, so don't see him for the time being."

Ma Han lowered her head and hugged Xingxing helplessly.

I thought I was stepping into happiness, but I never expected to be walking into an abyss with stars in my eyes.

"Thank you, officer..."

Today was the first time I met this policeman, and he helped me several times.

Even just now, if he had arrived even a moment later, she...

Ma Han couldn't imagine it.

She looked up at Qin Qingzhou.

"How did you find me?"
