"Look, Superintendent Song. I don't know who told you what but this is not as serious as you think this is."
The mistress of the Hou family and Hou Tengqi's mother, Hou Huan, explained to Jia. They were at the hospital outside the ward where Hou Anming was being tended to. His wife was by his side, concerned and shedding tears of worry.
Jia craned her neck and took a glance inside. "You say this was an accident?"
"Of course. Just a simple accident."
"I don't think glass shards would be stuck in his forehead out of a simple accident."
Her eyes narrowed.
"So who hit your second son with the vase?"
"No vase has been broken, Superintendent."
"Who are you trying to protect Mrs. Hou?"
She smiled. "Skirmishes happen in every family. Doesn't mean that cops should be involved for every little fight. Now if you will excuse me, I have to talk to the doctors."
Huojin raised his brow. "They really want to hide it with all their might."
