The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon!-Chapter 443: Just One Child

"The breeze stirs not, the Tao energy endures, within the Three Realms, none dare act recklessly... Freeze!"

As her final clear word hit the ground, four Yellow Talismans swiftly flew out from her hand, heading straight towards the four of them.

The young officer was just about to catch one of the people ahead when he saw a Yellow Talisman fly faster than him, sticking instantly to the human trafficker in front of him. The next moment, the trafficker maintained his running posture but was completely frozen in place.

The young officer was taken aback, and his body had no time to brake, causing him to crash straight into the trafficker who had suddenly stopped.

Both of them fell to the ground together, but the trafficker fixed in place by the Yellow Talisman remained motionless.

The other three traffickers were also frozen in place by the Yellow Talisman at the same time.

The live broadcast room exploded instantly.

[Ahhh! I’ve seen my girl’s spellcasting again! So cool! I want to marry her!!]

[What does the Taoism Academy want before they’ll accept me?! I’m not joking! I can sever all emotions and love!!!]

[How can I be as excellent as my girl?!]

[I know! The first sword upon entering the Tao, first cut off the beloved one.]

[Really?! I’ll go dump my boyfriend right now.]

[Just came from Ariel’s side, are the traffickers Scarlett caught really the ones Senior Brother Xander was looking for?]

[What what?]

The live broadcast room netizens quickly compared information, and soon, Scarlett Jennings and the photographer heard news from the director’s team through their earphones.

"Master Jennings, quickly check the child, a mother is now reporting at the police station lobby."

Upon hearing this, Scarlett Jennings no longer concerned herself with the four immobilized traffickers and turned to yank open the car hood, and together with Amber Livingston, carried out the children lying inside.

One cameraman was left to film by the program team, while another and the program team’s driver helped take care of the children. freēwēbηovel.c૦m

Soon, two officers dragged the four immobilized traffickers to one place and handcuffed them, then quickly came over to check on the children’s condition.

Altogether, there were three children.

The youngest looked to be under three years old.

"Damn traffickers! How dare they steal children in Sea City!"

The young officer cursed under his breath, feeling that his stomp on the trafficker’s ankle when he got up was too light.

The senior officer swiftly contacted the police department on this side for backup.

Aside from taking the four traffickers away, these children also had to be sent to the hospital for a full body checkup. After all, human traffickers are heartless, who knew what drugs they had used on the children.

The police department swiftly took action here.

Soon, it was confirmed that this was indeed the group of traffickers the reporting mother had mentioned, and that spirit vehicle also contained counterfeit police uniforms.

The police then notified the families who had recently lost children to go to the hospital to claim them.

Scarlett Jennings didn’t follow to the hospital but instead went back to the police station with the vehicle escorting the traffickers.

On the way, she watched the recording by Gregory Xander’s live broadcast room viewers and got to understand what had happened over there.

Viewers jumped between the two live broadcast rooms, and while syncing information, they also had a bit of an argument.

[I thought this round was Silly Xander’s turn to score big, unexpectedly Scarlett Jennings directly took out the lair, so this round is a draw, right?]

[How could this be a draw? Clearly, my girl’s contribution is greater this time!]

[Senior Brother Xander also figured out that the old lady was responsible for her granddaughter’s death! This crime is no less than traffickers. ]

[Wait, did I miss something? When did they start this battle of spells again?]

The bullet comments paused for a moment, then a viewer quickly explained—

[There was no battle of spells, netizens voluntarily act as judges based on their performances.]

Whether the principals battle or not doesn’t matter, the netizens can fight for them.

Scarlett Jennings ignored the alternative "bloodbath" in the live broadcast room’s bullet comments, returning to the police station, she heard that the station’s officers were already conducting an urgent interrogation of the relevant people.

This naturally included the old lady.

Having witnessed the capabilities of Scarlett Jennings and Gregory Xander, the officers in the station no longer dared dismiss the words of both.

If all these people had lives on their hands, then their task was to unearth the truth, to bring the dead back into the light.

The traffickers were apprehended on the spot and had no way to deny it.

But the old lady, relying on the lack of evidence from the police, refused to cooperate, clutching her chest and claiming pain when pressured, pretending to be ill, and even later suddenly tilted her head, acting as if she was about to die.

The officer in charge, although knowing she was feigning illness, couldn’t really ignore her without evidence, so he prepared to send her to the hospital for a check-up.

The moment the people reached the police station entrance, suddenly, a man rushed in, upon seeing the old lady, he immediately approached,

"Mom!"

The old lady, who had been clutching her chest and looking on the verge of collapse, visibly perked up at the sight of her son, and then beat her chest and wailed again,

"Collins! Finally, you’re here! Boo hoo! If you hadn’t come, your vicious wife would’ve wronged your mom to death..."

Just as the old lady started to play her part, the man named Collins promptly interrupted her,

"Mom! Was Ellie’s death your doing? And was Peace’s abduction done by you in collusion with those traffickers?!"

Collins Clark’s voice carried suppressed anger, the old lady was taken aback at first, then lost her temper and started cursing,

"You’re my son! How can you believe that jinx over your own mom?! I knew it, once you married a wife, you’d forget your mother. I shouldn’t have let her in then! That jinx..."

"Mom!" Collins Clark barked again, cutting off the old lady’s words, staring at her intently, his eyes reddening, "Tell me, is it true?!"

"No!" the old lady yelled, "That’s my granddaughter, how could I harm them?! Besides, how could I, an old lady, have the ability to conspire with traffickers?"

Just as the old lady’s words fell, a slightly cool voice sounded ahead, directly interrupting the latter part of her sentence.

"You could."

Everyone turned their heads to see Scarlett Jennings and Gregory Xander had unknowingly approached, with the show’s cameraman closely following, also that Officer Yuan was beside them.

The old lady became somewhat frightened seeing Gregory Xander, instinctively wanting to look away, but this happened to be exactly when she caught Scarlett Jennings’ gaze.

Scarlett looked at the old lady in front and suddenly spoke,

"You were born into a family with a severe gender bias. Although the family wasn’t poor, your parents valued the continuity of the family line to such an extent that they paid no mind to your birth, always favoring your brother.

Your husband is a high school teacher. You know he and his family dislike the gender bias, so you deliberately hide your own gender biases from them.

But in fact, this son of yours was only born after you secretly bribed a nurse to determine his gender; before him, you secretly aborted a female fetus."

Scarlett Jennings said to this point, Collins Clark looked at his mother in disbelief, "Mom! Is everything she’s saying true?"

The old lady was already flustered now because everything Scarlett Jennings said was indeed true.

She could handle a young man blurting it out, but how could a girl also speak of her all matters directly?

This can’t be!

"She’s... she’s talking nonsense! How could I harm my own granddaughters because of gender bias?!"

The old lady was still trying to argue.

Ariel Zimmerman said nothing, but there was a doubt she always had.

Even if there was gender bias, was there really a need to continually harm her two granddaughters?

It’s not like before when there was a one-child policy, now the country supports three children; if she wanted a grandson, why not wait for the couple to have another?

Just as Ariel Zimmerman’s doubts arose, Scarlett Jennings spoke,

"Isn’t it because your son and daughter-in-law have always insisted on having only one child?"
