The police were stunned.
They glanced at the trembling Su Qiqi, then at the watch in Su Chen's hand.
Wasn't Su Qiqi the Su Family's Second Daughter?!
So this was a thief within the family!
Su Qiqi looked at the police officer standing before her, his sharp gaze fixed on her as though he would arrest her any second, and panicked.
Su Qiqi tightly hugged Liu Yanran, buried her head in Liu Yanran's arms, and cried out loudly.
"I'm not a thief!"
"I... I was just playing around!"
As she spoke, Su Qiqi turned to look at the police officer. Tears glimmered in her eyes as she said firmly,
"Yes, I was just playing around!"
"Mom, isn't that right?!"
"I was just playing around. I'm not a thief!"
"You can't take me away!"
Before Liu Yanran could speak, Su Chen held up the watch and shouted at Su Qiqi.
"You're a thief!"
"This watch was found in your pocket!"
"If you're not a thief, then what are you?!"
"Not only are you a thief, you viciously tried to pin the crime of stealing the watch on me and frame me!"
"If I hadn't found the watch in your pocket, you might have succeeded in framing me!"
"Su Qiqi, not only are you a thief, you're vicious, of terrible character, morally corrupt, utterly heartless, and devoid of all decency..."
Su Zhenxing could not help but roar.
"Enough!"
Su Chen truly had no sense of the bigger picture. Was it something glorious for his own sister to be a thief?
And he had actually called the police to arrest a thief?!
Su Zhenxing stood up, forced a smile, and explained to the police officer.
"Officer, this is a misunderstanding."
"There is no thief in our home at all."
"The children in our family were just fooling around!"
"Officer, I'm terribly sorry to have made you come all this way for nothing."
Liu Yanran held the crying, pitiful-looking Su Qiqi and gently said to Su Chen, "That's right, Su Chen. It was only a joke. Don't take it so seriously!"
Su Lili also stood beside Su Qiqi, stroking the top of her head. She frowned and shot Su Chen a disdainful look.
"That's right, Su Chen. Your Second Sister was only joking with you. Why can't you take a joke?!"
Su Mu was not about to be outdone either. He looked worriedly at Su Qiqi, then at Su Chen, and said,
"Yes, Brother. Second Sister was only joking with you. She absolutely meant you no harm."
"Brother, don't argue with Second Sister anymore!"
Heh, the Su Family was banding together to force him to let this go and swallow the injustice in silence!
If it had been Su Chen from his previous life, who had craved familial affection, he might really have let the matter slide in exchange for the Su Family's love.
But Su Chen in this life was different.
The Su Family's affection was bullshit!
After all, Su Qiqi hadn't framed any of them!
No one was allowed to make Su Chen suffer!
Whoever made Su Chen suffer, he would never let them have it easy either!
Su Chen immediately clutched his chest, fell to the floor, convulsed, and rolled back and forth across the living room while groaning loudly.
"Ahhhhhhh!"
"My heart hurts so much! My heart hurts so much!"
"I know it. I, Su Chen, grew up in an orphanage, so all of you look down on me!"
"Today, Su Qiqi stole the watch and framed me for stealing it."
"And all of you turned a blind eye!"
"My heart is breaking! My heart is breaking!"
"Let the pain kill me! Let the pain kill me!"
"This world is so cold!"
"My family is so cold! They framed me, then turned a blind eye when I was framed!"
"This world isn't worth living in!"
"Life isn't worth living!"
"King of Hell, take me away!"
"There's no meaning to me being alive!"
"This world is too cold!"
"My heart is so cold and so painful, so cold and so painful!"
As he spoke, Su Chen rolled over to the feet of the police officer, who looked to be around forty. Clinging to the officer's leg, with tears shining in his eyes, he cried,
"Police Uncle, arrest me! Please arrest me!"
"This Su Family is too cold!"
"Let me go to prison. I don't think even prison could be this cold!"
"Police Uncle, my heart is so cold and so painful! I'd rather live in prison!"
The police officer was dumbfounded.
By then, the police officer had roughly figured out what had happened.
The police officer looked at the boy clinging to him and sobbing helplessly, then sighed.
It seemed life in a wealthy family was not so easy either!
Look at this child from the Su Family. He was truly pitiful!
His older sister had framed him, while his parents, older sister, and younger brother all took his sister's side, completely ignoring the grievances he had suffered.
They had driven the child to the point where he was actively asking to live in prison!
It was clear just how unhappy this child had been in the Su Family.
Su Zhenxing trembled with rage.
This rebellious son had tried to send his sister to prison as a thief. When he failed, he started crying and screaming here, rolling around on the floor!
How embarrassing!
This was utterly humiliating!
Su Zhenxing glared furiously at Su Chen, his trembling finger constantly pointing at him through the air as he roared.
"Su Chen, get up!"
"Stop making a spectacle of yourself here!"
Liu Yanran frowned as she stroked Su Qiqi, occasionally glancing at Su Chen. For the moment, she did not know what to say.
Su Lili and Su Mu likewise did not know what to say to refute Su Chen for the time being.
Because what Su Chen said seemed to be right.
But they had never expected Su Chen to shout all of this out in front of outsiders, right in front of the police.
He did not care about saving face at all!
The police officer sighed. Seeing Su Chen's pitiful state, he could not help turning to Su Zhenxing and saying, "Mr. Su, although I'm an outsider."
"I still can't help but say something."
"Mr. Su, when educating children, you should treat them fairly!"
Su Zhenxing's face darkened.
Who did this police officer think he was?!
How dare he criticize the way he raised his children!
With a dark expression, Su Zhenxing said to the police officer, "Officer, please leave."
"There has been no theft in the Su Family."
"That watch is mine. It was never lost."
"There is nothing the Su Family needs your help with."
"Officer, please go back!"
The police officer sighed.
Although they were police officers, they truly had no way to handle this kind of family dispute.
The police officer crouched down, patted Su Chen's shoulder, and said,
"Kid, I understand now. I know you're suffering inside."
"But in today's matter, since the victim refuses to report the case, our Police Station truly has no authority to intervene."
"Kid, I'm sorry. We let you down today."
"Kid, if anything happens in the future, come to the Police Station and find us."
"Whether we can handle it or not, we can listen to you talk about your troubles."
"Don't bottle up your pain inside. It'll make you sick."
After saying that, the police officer gave Su Chen another regretful look, then stood and left the Su Family with the other police officer.
Outside Su Family Villa, the younger police officer could not help asking,
"Sir, what is going on with this Su Family? Why does it seem like they're treating the biological child they finally found so badly?!"
"Who knows? Maybe they're sick in the head!"
"Why would the Su Family's Second Daughter steal her father's watch? Couldn't she have just asked for it?"
"Who knows? Sick in the head, probably!"
