Ning Xi was surprised to hear the news.
Because Ning Lan obviously hated her so much before, and didn't even want to say a word, why did she suddenly want to see her now?
However, she still agreed.
So, after leaving Shuo Shuo at Xiang's house temporarily, she went to the police station alone.
The person who received her was the old policeman whom she had met a few times last time.
"Ning Lan is suspected of sheltering Zhao Kailin and helping her escape, so she is now considered an accomplice," said the old policeman.
Ning Xi was a little surprised, but not too surprised. Since she started selling the house, it should have been for Zhao Kailin.
But she didn't expect that Ning Lan would still help her after knowing what Zhao Kailin had done.
“But she didn’t want to say anything, she just wanted to see you, so we had to ask you to come over.
I hope you can persuade her to confess her guilt as soon as possible." The old policeman continued.
Although they all knew what Ning Lan had done, they still wanted her to confess.
But she has remained silent since she was captured, and her only request is to see Ning Xi.
So, they could only notify Ning Xi to come over.
Ning Xi nodded in understanding, "Okay, please lead the way."
"Okay, come this way." The old policeman didn't say much and took her to the interrogation room where Ning Lan was detained.
In just one night, Ning Lan seemed to have aged several years.
Her hair was slightly messy, her eyes were dull and wooden, and there was a bandage wrapped around her neck. She sat in the chair with a gloomy look on her face.
It was not until the police said Ning Xi had arrived that he looked up at them.
The first time she saw Ning Xi, her dull eyes finally showed some luster.
She opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but when she saw that the police didn't leave, she immediately shut up.
Seeing this, the police had no choice but to leave and let Ning Xi talk to her alone.
Ning Xi sat down in front of her.
"Xiao Xi, can you help Linlin, can you help her?" Ning Lan looked at her and spoke impatiently.
Ning Xi paused when she heard this, and looked at her with a look of disbelief, "Aunt, do you know what Zhao Kailin did? She killed people, and killed many people!"
"I know, I know, but she didn't mean it! She definitely didn't mean it. Please help her and don't let her die, okay?" Ning Lan said in a crying voice.
She knew her daughter had made a serious mistake, but she didn't want her daughter to be sentenced to death, so she thought of Ning Xi again.
Ning Xi looked at her crying and begging expression, and her heart turned cold again.
She understood that she was not weak, she just simply couldn't tell right from wrong.
However, she did not refuse directly. Instead, she said, "I can help her find a lawyer, but you have to answer a few questions for me."
Ning Lan was happy to hear the first half of her words, but when she finished, her expression froze again, and even her eyes were a little evasive. "W-What's the problem?"
"Where did my father go? Why did he disappear? And what is your relationship with that Liu Xisheng? Is my father's disappearance related to him?"
Ning Xi didn't beat around the bush with her, and would not miss such an opportunity.
Ning Lan opened her mouth and I knew what she wanted to ask.
So, silence fell again.
Ning Xi was not in a hurry. She crossed her arms, leaned against the chair and said, "Aunt, if you don't tell me, I won't help Zhao Kailin. She killed three people and will definitely be sentenced to death.
And Zhao Kaifeng is still incarcerated. If no one defends him, he might be incarcerated for several years."
Listening to her emotionless words, Ning Lan's hope was shattered again, followed by resentment.
"How can you be so cruel? They are your cousins!" Ning Lan yelled at her again.
"What about you? Why are you so cruel? Aren't my sister and I your nieces?" Ning Xi ignored her anger and resentment and asked calmly.
But deep down, I was suppressing a deep sense of disappointment and anger.
Ning Lan was stunned again, and the anger in her eyes slowly subsided, and then turned into an indescribable complex expression.
Ning Xi waited with a cold face, and the interrogation room suddenly became quiet again.
The two policemen standing in front of the monitor exchanged glances. The younger officer asked, "Master, will this work?"
As for Ning Xi, it seems like she didn't give any advice.
"Let's talk about it later." The old policeman touched his chin and became a little curious about what Ning Xi said.
"I didn't mean to hurt him. He wasn't a good person to begin with."
Finally, after a long silence, Ning Lan spoke.
"What do you mean?" Ning Xi let go of his hands and stared at her expression.
Ning Lan also looked at her, "Your father is not a good man at all. He wants to kill me and your mother!"
As she spoke, her eyes drifted away again, and then she continued, “Back then, your mother and I depended on each other for survival. Although life was difficult, there was also a glimmer of hope.
However, ever since your mother saved him, she has been like a possessed person. Not only did she use our only money to save him, she also saved her own food rations to feed him.
Even, when he gets better, she will marry him at all costs.
I told her, your father is not a good person at all!
His origins are unknown, he tells lies, and he even has gunshot wounds on his body. Who knows what kind of desperado he is?
How can I marry such a dangerous person?
But your mother wouldn't listen and insisted on marrying him. No matter what I said, she was determined.
What's the result?
The disaster he brought upon himself not only harmed himself, but also almost implicated your mother, your sister, and me!
However, he did have some conscience and left on his own in the end, preventing those people from harming us, but where he went, I really don’t know.”
Ning Lan finished speaking in one breath, and it seemed that this was the whole story.
Ning Xi looked at her, and after a moment's silence, she suddenly said, "Aunt, do you know? Every time you lied to me, when you felt guilty, you would subconsciously pinch yourself."
Ning Lan was startled and looked down at her hands. Sure enough, her knuckles were bleeding.
"Also, my father is not a bad guy at all. He is the captain of the National Security Team. Those gunshot wounds were caused by bad guys when he was on a mission!
And those people you are talking about are the real bad guys!"
“Besides, I don’t believe he would harm my mother.
Because, if my mother was unfortunate to be with him, she would not have looked for him for so many years after he left.
My sister would never tell me how loving they were and how happy they were!
"Aunt, stop lying to me! I can investigate slowly, but Zhao Kailin and Zhao Kaifeng can't wait." Ning Xi said expressionlessly.
"How could you do this! You are as cold-blooded and heartless as him!" Ning Lan became excited again.
But Ning Xi suddenly said, "Aunt, you don't seem surprised by my father's identity, so you already knew it, right?"
Ning Lan, already furious and agitated, was taken aback again. Meeting her overly calm eyes, her heart sank. "It's time to confess!!!! Keep begging for votes!"
