chapter 43 Fall in love with me?
Tyrone and Emma panicked, looking at the two police officers uneasily.
However, Mia remained calm and stepped forward in a composed manner. "Hi, may I know what crime did we commit that the two of you have to show up to arrest us?"
She smiled. "If it's because of Sofia's matter, I think that's a family matter. We can solve it ourselves, so there's no need to trouble you."
"Olivia, we don't have to air our dirty laundry in public. Let's talk it out if there are any conflicts or misunderstandings. We don't have to go to the trouble of getting the police involved." Mia looked at Olivia and tugged at Tyrone's shirt, wanting him to speak up.
Tyrone also knew that there would be a lot of trouble if they really went to the police station. He couldn't say for sure whether other matters would be involved then.
In particular, during this period, Xia Construction had suffered various blows from the public, and the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, as well as the police station, frequently called Tyrone and enquired about the company.
Therefore, he feared seeing the police now.
"Mia is right, Olivia. As a family, we should solve the problems ourselves instead of troubling the police." Tyrone was smart. He immediately approached the two policemen, offering them cigarettes and buttering them up.
"Thank you for making this trip. Haha, it's just an internal conflict within the family. It's nothing serious, so you guys don't have to bother helping us to solve this!" Tyrone smiled ingratiatingly, wanting to send the police officers away.
However, not only did the policemen not leave, but they took out their ID cards and announced in a deep voice, "Tyrone Xia, we have received complaints from the public pointing out that your company is involved in illegal construction and tax evasion. We have reported them to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau as well as the Tax Bureau. Please come with us to the police station."
Tyrone mused inwardly, "They are not here for what happened to Sofia?"
Tyrone was stunned and froze on the spot.
Emma said hurriedly, "Nonsense, my dad didn't do any of those things! These people are framing and slandering him!"
After saying that, she turned her head, shouting at Olivia, "Olivia, was it you? Did you frame Dad and the company because you want to exact revenge on us? Where's your conscience?"
Olivia glanced at Xavier, who had been standing at the end of the corridor not far away smoking and spotted a casual smile on his face. He winked at Olivia as if to assure her not to worry because he was there for her.
For a moment, Olivia didn't know how to describe her mood.
Over the years, she had worked hard, bore everything she encountered by herself and accustomed herself to being alone.
She never thought that there would be a man standing by her side, silently supporting her with his actions during a messy period like this in her life.
"Olivia, was it you?" Tyrone's eyes widened, and his hands trembled. "You unfilial daughter. Will you only be satisfied after you destroy our family?"
Olivia didn't defend herself. Even if she explained that she wasn't the one who called the police, they wouldn't believe her.
She just smiled lazily. "The evil will always be punished. Since you haven't done anything, what do you have to be afraid of?"
"Just you wait," Tyrone threatened with a darkened expression as the police took him away.
Mia and Emma thought the whole ordeal had nothing to do with them, and they didn't have to go to the police station.
Unexpectedly, another police officer approached the two of them and said, "Mia Zhao, you are suspected of a murder case from three years ago. Someone reported you for being a homewrecker and indirect manslaughter. Please head to the police station with me."
Mia widened her eyes and wanted to refute. But another policeman walked out and looked at her. "Emma Xia, you are suspected of slander and affecting other people's reputations, attempted murder by hired killer and more. Please come with us to the station."

Patients and family members from the following few wards came out into the hospital corridor to watch the scene unfold. Seeing this, they all started whispering among themselves.
Tyrone and Emma were upset. They pointed at Olivia and cursed while anxiously explaining to the police that they had done nothing wrong, that those were just rumors, and that someone wanted to frame them deliberately.
To that, the police only told them, "We will see whether you are innocent or not after the questioning at the police station."
The three of them were taken away together. Suddenly, there were only the gossiping onlookers left in the corridor.
Olivia raised the corners of her mouth slightly, looking coldly at the backs of Tyrone and the others. Then, she turned around and gazed at the pale-faced Sofia lying on the hospital bed as her gaze turned gentle.
"Mommy, I will never let anyone who hurts you off the hook!" Olivia helped Sofia tidy her hair. She realized that the hair on Sofia's temples had turned white as a determination flashed across her eyes.
The truth remained hidden until Olivia decided to look into it. After this investigation, she found that what the Xia Family did to Sofia over the years was far more terrible than they had imagined.
First, they bribed Vice-Dean Qin to pour additional ingredients into Sofia's medicine every time. The unique drug she specially arranged for her mom not only failed to alleviate Sofia's condition but also weakened her body.
Fortunately, Olivia would adjust the particular medicine from time to time. Otherwise, Sofia might have collapsed even earlier.
What was even more frightening was that there were a lot of toxins in Olivia's body. Those were the chronic poisons that Mia secretly administered to her when she was young.
Those medicines would not kill her or even affect her immediately, but over time, they would destroy her health and even affect her fertility.
Not only did Mia poison Sofia, force her out of the Xia Family, and get her admitted into the hospital, but she even poisoned Olivia while she was a kid.
Olivia thought, "How is Mia so cruel and ruthless?"
Of course, if it weren't for Mia's schemes, Olivia's body would not have a toxin deposition. Thus, she would not have met her first master when she was eight years old, let alone learn his medical skills.
And if it weren't for her medical skills, Sofia would have been gone.
Also, thanks to Olivia's medical skills, many terminally ill patients with intractable diseases in the world were saved and given a second chance in life.
Olivia had never thought of becoming a doctor before meeting her master. After meeting him, she didn't want to learn. Instead, she only tried to cure herself.
However, the toxins in her body had been accumulated since childhood and could not be eradicated in a short period. As a last resort, she visited her master multiple times and was forced to learn many of his unique medical skills.
"Don't stop the investigation. No matter what method we use, we must stop Zoey Xue from leaving Jianglin."
The somewhat gloomy voice of Xavier came from the door. Although he deliberately lowered his voice, Olivia still heard his words.
She pricked up her ears slightly and heard Xavier continue, "Grandpa can't survive for long. If none of this work, bring her assistant to me."
Olivia thought, "He sure is an arrogant one! Did he say he is going to catch me no matter what, and that if that doesn't work, he will capture Alice?"
Her temples throbbed wildly abruptly.
"What's with his tone? Did he…"
Olivia raised her eyes in surprise and saw Xavier putting away his phone walking in calmly.
Xavier noticed Olivia was staring at him. He raised his eyebrow slightly and smiled coquettishly. "Why are you staring at me like this? Did you fall in love with me?
