Madam Pei stared blankly toward the door, motionless and seemingly deaf to the sounds outside, muttering to herself as if possessed.
Ye Ningwan silently walked to the door and opened it. Luo Rui walked in with a stack of documents that had just been faxed over.
He bent down and placed the still-warm documents in front of Madam Pei, saying helplessly to her.
"Madam, I have some bad news for you."
Madam Pei's eyes were empty, with slightly cloudy whites and small pupils. Her dark, lifeless pupils occasionally flickered within their white-filled sockets.
It took him a long time to realize that Luo Rui was talking to him.
Even so, Madam Pei still did not react.
Luo Rui could only say it directly.
“Madam, this is what we just found out. Han Qingting’s real name is not that. His real name is Han Dazhuang. He is a farmer from the mountains in western S Province. He has never been to school and can only read a few words. He has been impersonating a medical master for the past three years, swindling people everywhere. So far, there are about twenty victims who have been deceived by him.”
"He used veterinary medicine to treat people, which has already caused the deaths of at least three people..."
Before Luo Rui could finish speaking, Madam Pei abruptly interrupted him, roaring furiously at him.
"Shut up! Don't say another word, I don't believe you! I won't believe you! Before you left, Ye Ningwan whispered something to you, you two are in cahoots, you've been bribed by her! You took her money!"
Madam Pei suddenly stood up and paced around the lounge several times, pointing her finger at Luo Rui in the air with a frantic and furious expression.
"I won't believe you! I absolutely won't believe you! You're a liar, you're in cahoots with Ye Ningwan!"
Luo Rui was speechless. He glanced at Ye Ningwan.
Ye Ningwan, standing to the side, remained calm and composed, as if everything, including Madam Pei's current madness, was within her calculations.
Luo Rui was truly at his wits' end with this woman.
He had no choice but to quietly approach Ye Ningwan and ask in a low voice.
What's your idea?
Ye Ningwan shrugged and looked at Luo Rui with an innocent expression.
"What can I do? This kind of anti-fraud work is your job as a police officer, right? Captain Luo, you really dump everything on me. How about I collect the salaries of the entire police force for you?"
Luo Rui remained silent for a long time, unsure of what to say.
He knew Ye Ningwan had a sharp tongue, but he never expected this woman's tongue to be this sharp.
But given the situation, Madam Pei was clearly in a semi-mad state, and moreover, she had been scammed by a fraudster. If left unattended, things would likely escalate further. Therefore, in order to keep the situation under control, Luo Rui forced himself to politely plead with Ye Ningwan.
“Miss Ye, I know that someone like you would look down on the meager wages of us poor people. You've done a good deed, something that brings good karma. Besides, Madam Pei is your sister-in-law, right? You're family after all. Can you really bear to watch her be deceived? She's already in this state; it's too pitiful!”
Ye Ningwan couldn't help but chuckle as she listened to Luo Rui speaking to her so politely and cautiously, a rare occurrence for him.
"Captain Luo, do you really not know what the Pei family is like? If you hadn't brought this up, I might have reluctantly helped her out of kindness, treating her like a stranger. But now that you've brought it up, I suddenly remembered that I've never really gotten along with the eldest son's family. They've harmed me and my husband more than once. Why should I help my rivals? I'm not a saint!"
Luo Rui was speechless for a moment.
He gritted his teeth and made a promise to Ye Ningwan.
"Here's my salary for this month."
He paused, met Ye Ningwan's ambiguous smile, and finally slowly uttered a few words.
"You can have the bonus too!"
Ye Ningwan seemed finally satisfied and said with a smile.
"make a deal!"
Luo Rui urged in a low voice.
"Then let's hurry up!"
Ye Ningwan remained motionless, standing there quietly, like a living statue that could only speak.
Luo Rui finally grew impatient and urged Ye Ningwan.
"Hurry up! Once this is settled, I need to go back and interrogate that Han Dazhuang!"
Ye Ningwan smiled and held up one finger, winking at Luo Rui.
"10, 9, 8, 7..."
Team Leader Luo was taken aback, not understanding why Ye Ningwan had suddenly started counting down.
He wiped his face and was about to ask a question when he heard Ye Ningwan had already counted to the end.
"...2, 1, 0..."
Just as Ye Ningwan uttered the last number, the door to the lounge was suddenly pushed open, and Zhang Qin rushed in from outside with a look of terror on his face.
"Madam...no...something's wrong..."
Madam Pei, who had just been going crazy, suddenly stopped muttering to herself when she saw Zhang Qin rush in. Her empty eyes looked at Zhang Qin, but she remained silent, as if waiting for Zhang Qin to speak.
Zhang Qin's eyes were bloodshot as he spoke to Madam Pei, word by word.
"I just received a message from the Sheng family. They said... they said..."
Zhang Qin was unable to say anything for a while, so Madam Pei anxiously chimed in.
