Chapter 4 Putting Him to Death
"That's not how it is. It was clearly you and Lu Mingyue who were having an affair behind my back, afraid that I would report you and frame me. Officer, I'm truly innocent."
A fierce glint flashed in Meng Xiaoling's eyes. Based on Huo Zheng's description, he was definitely in the house that morning, but she didn't know why she couldn't find him.
He wanted to sever ties with Lu Mingyue, but he wouldn't let him have his way.
Lu Mingyue took a step forward and stood in front of Meng Xiaoling.
"What does Comrade Huo have to do with you? He's just a guest. If I remember correctly, Li Weidong is your boyfriend. Do you want to confront him?"
Anyone with eyes can see the relationship between Meng Xiaoling and Li Weidong.
Some people in the family compound saw Li Weidong bringing Meng Xiaoling back.
When asked about this, Meng Xiaoling was evasive, only saying that the two were colleagues.
Since even her own mother said so, as outsiders, we only dared to discuss it behind her back.
The reason Meng Mancang introduced Huo Zheng to Meng Xiaoling was to tell others that he, as her stepfather, treated his daughter well.
Soldiers are always in demand, no matter the era. Meng Xiaoling marrying him would make him look good.
If he knew that Meng Xiaoling and Li Weidong were still entangled, he would probably be so angry that he would vomit blood.
Meng Xiaoling is now in a difficult situation.
If she admits that she and Li Weidong are boyfriend and girlfriend, then the accusation that Lu Mingyue seduced Huo Zheng will not stand.
To say that Huo Zheng was her blind date would be even more laughable.
If you already have a partner, why go on blind dates? Isn't that committing a crime of indecent assault?
“Sister, I know you’ve always hated me, feeling that Mom and I stole everything that belongs to you. Honestly, everyone has seen how we’ve treated you all these years.”
At school, I did your laundry; at home, Mom cooked for you with great care. You said you liked Li Weidong, so I risked being gossiped about by everyone to deliver your love letter and even took the blame for you.
"You've taken a liking to Comrade Huo and want to be with him, forcing me to do bad things. I've always obeyed you; you can't treat me like this."
The aunties were stunned and all looked at Lu Mingyue.
[I never expected the Lu family girl to have such a strong will.]
Oh my, this is going to be good! Too bad I didn't bring any sunflower seeds.
Why haven't Old Zhao and Old Li come to see the excitement yet...?
The aunties, having lived for so many years, weren't fools. At this moment, they were only excitedly watching the drama unfold, believing Meng Xiaoling's words only halfway.
Lu Mingyue usually speaks as softly as a mosquito, how could she possibly do something like drugging someone?
Lu Mingyue underestimated Meng Xiaoling's shamelessness, and gave a cold smile, knowing she wouldn't shed a tear until she saw the coffin.
"Officer, the evidence against Meng Xiaoling has not yet been processed."
Meng Xiaoling tightened her grip on the door frame and let out a heavy sigh of relief so as not to give herself away.
Lu Mingyue is definitely bluffing.
The item was hidden well; she couldn't possibly know.
Watching Lu Mingyue lead the police straight to the kitchen, Meng Xiaoling's heart jumped into her throat.
A few minutes later, the police came out with the remaining powder.
Meng Xiaoling's face turned pale instantly.
Why is this happening?
Her mind was in complete chaos; someone please help her.
Perhaps heaven heard her prayers, for when Tian Xiaoju returned home from get off work, she saw a crowd gathered at her doorstep.
What are you doing?
"Director Tian, your daughter is something else, daring to drug a soldier."
Tian Xiaoju's expression changed. "What are you saying? I don't understand."
The person who spoke doesn't understand now, but wait and see if they'll still pretend to be stupid.
Since becoming the director of the supply and marketing cooperative, Tian Xiaoju has changed her previous submissive attitude and looks down on people. Everyone has long disliked her.
"Xiaoling, what are you doing?"
Tian Xiaoju frowned imperceptibly when she saw her daughter kneeling on the ground hugging the door frame.
She was mortified at losing face in front of so many people.
"Get up quickly, let's talk inside."
"Officer, let's sit down and talk. The child is still young. You can tell me what's wrong."
With witnesses and physical evidence, the police have proven their impartiality and incorruptibility.
"I'm sorry, we have regulations. Please wait at home for further notice. Please don't obstruct us from doing our work. We will follow the procedures."
The police made it clear from the start, lest Tian Xiaoju act like her daughter, crying and making a scene.
After saying that, before Tian Xiaoju could react, he took Meng Xiaoling away.
By the time Tian Xiaoju realized what was happening and tried to stop him, he had already gone downstairs.
The number of onlookers at the gate only increased, and Tian Xiaoju knew that if this matter was not handled well, her family would be ashamed to live in the family compound.
He left in a hurry to find someone to help him at the factory.
Huo Zheng didn't ask why Lu Mingyue knew where Meng Xiaoling hid things; it wasn't important.
The important thing is that I finally got my revenge.
"We still need to go to the police station to make a statement. Do you have time now?"
"have!"
On her way to take down Meng Xiaoling, Lu Mingyue was always ready.
Watching the two figures leave, the aunties felt a little reluctant to part with them.
Why have they all left? They hadn't seen enough yet.
Upon hearing this, Lu Mingyue smiled, confident that with the aunties around, the news of Meng Xiaoling being taken away by the police would soon spread throughout the residential compound.
Meng Xiaoling was completely dazed when she was locked in the interrogation room; she didn't know why things had turned out this way.
She clenched her hands helplessly, praying in her heart that someone would come to save her.
Every minute and every second was torture for her.
She carefully recalled what had happened and concluded that Lu Mingyue must have discovered her when she was drugging the girl; otherwise, the rest of the story wouldn't make sense.
Previously, Lu Mingyue was always silent, and I thought she was a coward.
Unexpectedly...
As she was lost in her imagination, the door to the interrogation room was opened.
Two police officers walked in. Their eyes were sharp, and Meng Xiaoling didn't even dare to look them in the eye, keeping her head down and remaining silent.
"I advise you to confess as soon as possible and try to get leniency."
Meng Xiaoling bit her lower lip. "What are you saying? I don't understand. I need to find my parents."
The police were speechless. How old are you? All you do when you encounter problems is turn to your parents.
Just as he was about to continue the interrogation, there was a knock on the door.
"Meng Xiaoling's parents have arrived."
Well, now it's completely impossible to review.
The interrogation did not end; a different person sat down and continued to exert pressure.
Meng Xiaoling strained her ears to listen to the sounds outside, but found nothing.
Outside the interrogation room.
Tian Xiaoju held onto the police officer tightly, refusing to let go. "Comrade, my daughter is definitely innocent. Please let me see her, and I promise I'll explain everything clearly."
The police officer used all his strength to pull the clothes out, and said after catching his breath, "This is not in accordance with regulations. You've come at the right time, so we'll take this opportunity to find out more about the situation."
No sooner had the police officer finished speaking than someone came out of the reception room next door.
Lu Mingyue and Huo Zheng came out after giving their statements.
When Tian Xiaoju saw them standing together, her eyes immediately turned red, and she pounced on them like a man-eating lion.
Meng Mancang was not to be outdone; his face was gloomy, and he slapped Lu Mingyue with all his might.
Oh my god! My scumbag father and heartless stepmother are trying to kill me!
The moment the two started fighting, Huo Zheng reacted quickly and pulled Lu Mingyue to his side.
Lu Mingyue was caught off guard and fell into his arms.
Feeling the warmth behind her, Lu Mingyue's heart pounded like a deer's.
[Huo Zheng's chest is quite bouncy, I wonder what it feels like to touch, hehehe.]
