Chapter Twenty-Eight: Arrested (2/2)

Listening to her mother's incessant nagging, Lin Wan felt a surge of irritation. She couldn't stand her mother's constant nagging, always trying to get her involved in all the complicated household chores. Not only that, her mother was always asking her for money or other things, never once considering how difficult her life actually was.

Lin Wan didn't want to listen to her mother's nagging, so she told her about Lin Fei coming to see her today! She even advised her mother to keep a closer eye on Lin Fei. Hearing this, Lin's mother felt a little scared! She hurriedly asked, "Wan'er, what if your brother really owes so much money? Our family doesn't have that much money to pay off his debts! If we don't pay it back, will they really beat your brother to death?"

"Wan'er, you have to help me," Lin Wan sighed helplessly. "Mom, I can barely take care of myself, how can I help my brother pay off his debts? Besides, he's always idling around and causing trouble everywhere. He should have been taught a lesson long ago." Lin's mother's eyes widened. "How can you say that about your brother? No matter how bad he is, he's still your brother."

Just then, Li Bing returned, carrying some nutritious porridge and fruit. He entered the ward and, noticing the somewhat strange atmosphere, asked in confusion, "What's wrong?" Lin Wan forced a smile, "Nothing, Mom's just worried about my brother."

Li Bing placed the food on the table and comforted her, "Auntie, don't worry, we'll think of a solution slowly." Lin's mother snorted, "You mean well, but I'm afraid your mother wouldn't think that way."

Li Bing smiled awkwardly and turned to Lin Wan. "Wan'er, eat something first. Your health is important." Lin Wan nodded, and just as she was about to eat, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her stomach. Li Bing was terrified and immediately called the doctor. After examining her, the doctor frowned and said, "It might be a complication of the miscarriage. Further observation and treatment are needed." Lin's mother started crying and making a scene again, blaming the Li family for harming Lin Wan. Li Bing anxiously stayed by the bedside, his heart filled with guilt and worry.

When Lin Wan's mother saw that she was alright, she rushed home. She wanted to ask if Lin Fei really owed that much money!

Before even entering the tenement building, they saw a police car parked by the roadside. Mr. and Mrs. Lin hurried inside. A large crowd had gathered downstairs. Someone saw them enter and called out, "Officers, Lin Fei's parents have arrived!" Mr. and Mrs. Lin looked at the officers with confusion, wondering what had happened. Two young officers immediately approached them and asked, "Are you Lin Fei's parents?" Mr. Lin nodded and then cautiously asked, "Officers, what happened?"

One of the older police officers said, "Lin Fei committed robbery in the street and is currently being investigated in the interrogation room. We hope you will cooperate with our work." Lin's parents were stunned; they never imagined Lin Fei would do such a thing. Lin's mother's legs went weak, and she almost collapsed to the ground, but thankfully, Lin's father caught her.

Lin's mother cried, "Officer, are you sure you're not mistaken? My son may be lazy, but he wouldn't commit robbery." The police officer said seriously, "We have solid evidence. The victim identified him on the spot, and there are eyewitnesses who witnessed him committing the crime."

At the hospital, Lin Wan's abdominal pain gradually subsided. Li Bing said to her, "Wan'er, I will definitely give you an explanation for this matter, but the most important thing for you now is to take good care of your health." Lin Wan nodded with a complicated expression.

Meanwhile, at the Lin family's home, Mr. Lin, with a grave expression, followed the police officers to the police station, hoping to obtain more detailed information about the incident. At the same time, Mrs. Lin, as if she had lost her soul, staggered home.

As soon as she entered the house, Lin's mother rushed into the bedroom and began frantically rummaging through drawers and cabinets. Her hands trembled, and beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, but at that moment she didn't care about any of that; she had only one thought in her mind—to find some savings as soon as possible to save her son.

After a frantic search, Lin's mother finally found a small stack of banknotes in an old box. However, this amount of money was clearly far from enough to rescue her son from his predicament, which made her increasingly anxious.

"No, this amount of money isn't enough! Fei'er can't stay in that place any longer! Will he get beaten? Will he have anything to eat?" Lin's mother muttered to herself, racking her brains for a solution. Suddenly, an idea struck her, and she remembered her daughter.
