That evening, Zhang Tingting returned to her rented room and sat in front of the phone, lost in thought.

Because she had already moved a lot of things out of the dormitory, and the valuables were already taken, what was left were just some worthless clothes and shoes, she didn't get much at school today. Instead, she got a beating from Ye Linchen in the dormitory.

She was seething with resentment, and it wouldn't go away.

She had to call her grandfather again; she refused to believe that he would really abandon her!

She picked up the phone again and dialed that familiar number.

Beep...beep...beep...

The phone rang for a long time before it was finally answered.

"Hello!"

Zhang Tingting was overjoyed and immediately spoke up.

She cried pleadingly, "Don't hang up, it's me, Tingting..."

Before I could finish speaking, the phone was abruptly disconnected.

Beep...beep...beep...

Hearing the busy tone on the phone, Zhang Tingting's face turned deathly pale.

But she didn't give up and dialed the number again.

Beep...beep...beep...

There was still no answer.

Hearing that cold voice, Zhang Tingting couldn't stop the tears from flowing down her face.

These past few days, she has been calling her grandfather's house every day, but every time the other party hears her voice, they hang up without hesitation.

Maybe today will be different. Grandpa will soften his heart, be moved by her, and be willing to answer her call.

As long as her grandfather answers the phone, it means he has forgiven her, and she can ask him to rescue her parents, and then the matter will be over.

She can then return to being the high and mighty eldest daughter of the Zhang family!

She was determined to teach Ye Linchen a lesson and make her regret what she had done today!

Moreover, she simply couldn't hold on any longer and desperately needed her grandfather to save her.

Zhang Tingting gritted her teeth and made a determined effort. She couldn't give up as easily as she had a few days ago. She would keep calling until her grandfather answered the phone!

Just as Zhang Tingting was about to make another call, there was a sudden knock on the door.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Unhurried and unhurried.

Zhang Tingting heard this and her heart tightened.

She suddenly had a bad feeling.

This is the same knocking sound that led to her mother, Xu Hongmei, being taken away!

Are those people coming to arrest her again?

No! Her grandfather hasn't answered her call yet!

There was no response from outside the door, so they knocked again.

Zhang Tingting panicked, hastily put down the microphone, stood up, and looked warily toward the door.

"Who?" she asked in a trembling voice.

"Police station, open the door, routine inspection!"

Zhang Tingting's face turned deathly pale, and her legs began to tremble uncontrollably.

They really came to arrest her!

Before, when her parents were fine, she didn't care about these people at all.

But with her parents in jail and her grandfather ignoring her, she knew no one would protect her anymore, and she felt a deep sense of fear.

She didn't want to open the door; she just wanted to stay here and not go out.

The door was knocked on again, and it was clear that it had to be opened.

So what if we open it? We're not afraid of you!

Zhang Tingting gritted her teeth, walked shakily to the door, put her hand on the doorknob, but couldn't turn it open no matter what she did.

"Open the door quickly and cooperate with the investigation!"

The police outside were clearly losing patience, and their tone became stern.

Zhang Tingting pressed her hand to her chest, let out a long breath, and suddenly flung open the door.

Several uniformed police officers stood at the door. The officer in the lead looked at her with a serious expression and showed her his police identification.

"Hello, I am a police officer from Chengxi Police Station. This is my identification."

Then, he produced an arrest warrant: "We suspect you are involved in a murder case. This is the arrest warrant. You need to come with us to assist with the investigation."

Murder?

Did the police discover something?

A stubborn face flashed through Zhang Tingting's mind!

The expression on her face was somewhat similar to Ye Linchen's, so much so that she felt inexplicably disgusted whenever she saw Ye Linchen!

But so much time has passed, they definitely can't find out anything; they're just trying to scam me!

Zhang Tingting screamed.

"I...I didn't kill anyone, you've got the wrong person!"

"Whether there was murder or not, we will investigate and find out." The police officer said expressionlessly. "Now, please cooperate with our work and come with us."

The police officer turned around and gestured to the two female officers behind him to come forward and arrest her.

Zhang Tingting was unwilling and struggled desperately, crying loudly.

"Let me go! I need to call my grandfather. My grandfather is a commander, you can't arrest me!"

Unfortunately, no one paid any attention to her. Two policewomen forcibly restrained her, and one of them took out shiny handcuffs and put them on her.

"Let me go! Let me go! I'm going to call my grandpa. If he finds out, he won't let you get away with this! Let go!"

"Behave yourself!"

Two policewomen grabbed her and took her away from the rented house.

Zhang Tingting's frantic crying and screaming were of no use.

The home she once relied on, which allowed her to do whatever she wanted, has now completely collapsed.

Her parents, who held high positions, were imprisoned, and she herself faced murder charges.

What awaits her is no longer the privilege of wielding power, but the severe punishment of the law and the upheaval of her life.

Perhaps only then will she understand that some mistakes, once made, cannot be undone.

Her past arrogance will eventually cost her dearly.

Su Yuqing was overjoyed to learn from her father that the Zhang family was completely finished.

The huge weight that had been pressing on her heart was finally lifted!

From now on, she no longer has to act like a dog, pretending to be obedient and fawning over Zhang Tingting!
