"Yes, yes, officer, it was all her!" Xu Fangfang, who was closest to Leng Yinghong, pushed her towards the police as if she were eager to distance herself from them, and shouted, "She did everything! It has nothing to do with us! We don't know anything! We're innocent!"
Looking at the three people in front of her, Leng Yinghong felt a sense of unfamiliarity she had never experienced before, and she also felt her body growing colder and colder.
These are her family members.
Although she knew from the beginning that none of them were good people, the extent to which they could be this bad still far exceeded her imagination.
How could someone go to such extremes?
How did they manage to do that?!
"Dad, Mom, I'm your daughter! How could you do this? How could you do this? Mom!" Leng Yinghong looked at Xu Fangfang, her eyes filled with tears.
However, Leng Yinghong's tearful questioning only resulted in insults.
"You shameless slut, why didn't you say I was your father when you were lying? If I'm not your father, who the hell is? You have to take responsibility for your own actions. You lied to people, so you have to bear the consequences. Don't drag us down with you!" Leng Qisheng roared, refusing to acknowledge Leng Yinghong as his daughter.
It wasn't like that to begin with. The blood flowing through Leng Yinghong's veins was that of Xu Fangfang and her ex-husband. What did it have to do with him?
Yaozu was clever enough to come up with such a solution, which minimized the Leng family's losses.
“Xiao Hong, you said and did all those things about Zhou Jinglan. We didn’t know anything about it. I was wrong. I was wrong for not educating you properly and letting you lie to people. Officers, please take her away and teach her to be a better person!” Xu Fangfang said, trying to distance herself from him.
Leng Yinghong looked at them, her initial fear and apprehension turning into shock and astonishment, and finally into a sense of absurdity. She even laughed at the end.
When a person is in complete despair, they become fearless and even more willing to risk everything.
The worst that can happen is death!
Could things get any worse than they are now?
No, not anymore.
Since they all want her dead, fine, let her die.
Even if she dies, she'll take them with her!
"No! It wasn't just me! They all had a hand in it, they all had a hand in it!" Leng Yinghong shouted, her whole demeanor frantic.
"You want me dead, right? Fine! Then let's all die together! I won't let you get away with this, I won't let you get away with this! Don't try to absolve yourself of responsibility or deceive Zhou Jinglan, you're all involved!"
Leng Yinghong bared her teeth and shouted wildly, seemingly wanting to rush up and fight everyone in the Leng family, but was quickly subdued by the police.
"You filthy slut, if you want to die, go die yourself. Don't drag us down with you. We're innocent!" Leng Qisheng shouted.
He wasn't afraid of Leng Yinghong hitting him; he was only a little timid in front of the police, but he wouldn't back down from anyone else—he was quite domineering.
"You heartless bastard, how could you treat us like this?" Xu Fangfang questioned Leng Yinghong.
"Ha! Hahaha! Haha... You can't escape. The police have investigated everything. They know all the good deeds you've done, the money you've taken, and the benefits you've received. Hahaha! Now you want to distance yourself? No way!" Leng Yinghong shouted, looking rather mentally unstable.
"You unfilial wretched thing! You've done something wrong and ruined our whole family. How dare you say that? How dare you cry foul here! Officer, take her away quickly, and I'll pretend I never gave birth to this beast!" Xu Fangfang shouted, wishing the police would take Leng Yinghong away as soon as possible.
As the commotion grew increasingly escalated, the situation nearly spiraled out of control.
The police have determined that there is no need for communication, and it is impossible to communicate properly now. They are determined to forcefully take the person away to avoid causing a greater disturbance.
"Take them all away!" the lead policeman said.
"No, officers, why? It has nothing to do with us. Just take her away. She did it all. We don't know anything about it!" Leng Qisheng shouted, unable to believe that he was being taken away. He couldn't accept it for a moment.
However, at this point, they had been forcefully informed, and the so-called "please cooperate" was just a polite way of saying that they had no right to refuse.
"Whether it was an individual crime or a group fraud, we will determine the outcome after our interrogation. It's not up to you to decide!" The leading police officer asserted his authority and gestured for the others to take the entire Leng family away.
"Ha! Haha!" Leng Yinghong, who had already been detained, roared to the sky, "You can't escape, none of you can escape!"
Since she has no way to survive anyway, let's all die together. It's better to have someone to keep her company than for her to be all alone.
It's a pity that we couldn't drag Leng Yingying down with us this time. It's all because she left the Leng family too early, which allowed her to escape this disaster.
"No!" Xu Fangfang screamed.
Leng Qisheng continued to resist, but his resistance was no match for the police.
Only Leng Yaozu stared at Leng Yinghong with a sinister, venomous look, hating her intensely. He felt she was not smart enough and had harmed the whole family, including him.
Fortunately, the police only said they would take him back for questioning, which means there's still a chance for things to turn around.
Leng Yaozu looked at Leng Qisheng and Xu Fangfang, who were struggling frantically, and gestured for them to calm down.
“Dad, Mom, this was all Leng Yinghong’s doing. It has nothing to do with us. We just need to cooperate with the police investigation. There’s no need to panic,” Leng Yaozu implied.
Leng Qisheng and Xu Fangfang weren't stupid either. After what had just happened, and now with Leng Yaozu's clear and pointed reminder, the two instantly understood his meaning.
The three exchanged glances and quickly calmed down.
“Fine, we’ll cooperate with the investigation. We haven’t done anything wrong, so what are we afraid of!” Leng Qisheng stopped struggling and suddenly calmed down.
Xu Fangfang, too, stopped yelling and screaming. Instead, she said something like, "If you have a clear conscience, you have nothing to fear," appearing completely open and honest.
So the police took the Leng family away to the nearest police station, where they questioned the family members separately.
This caused quite a stir in Lengjia Village.
The person was taken away in front of everyone, and the farce that happened before the person was taken away was witnessed by most of the villagers. Now the whole village, and even the neighboring villages, are talking about this.
"I heard that Leng Qisheng from your village got into trouble and was taken away by the police? What exactly happened?"
"Hey, it's not just Lao Leng who's involved. It's his daughter who's behind this mess. Do you remember those soldiers who came to help a few villages around here a while ago?"
"I remember, they have them in several villages, they help elderly people living alone with chores!"
