She quickened her pace instinctively.
Liu Yue didn’t disappoint her; he threw away his cigarette and walked towards her.
Tang Long guarded Tang Mei warily and asked coldly, “What’s the matter?”
Liu Yue pointed at Tang Mei and said, “1 need to talk to her.”
Tang’s mother asked in a sharp voice, “Do you know my daughter?”
Liu Yue nodded and said, “I have indeed seen her a few times. Last time, she even helped me once. One should know how to repay kindness. Since 1 have received help from others, I should help others in return.”
His words carried a hidden meaning.
Tang Long was about to say something when suddenly two men rushed out from behind and grabbed his shoulders, restraining him.
Tang’s mother screamed and rushed forward to push away the men who had suddenly appeared, shouting loudly, “Help! They’re going to kill my son! Call the police! Who will help me call the police!”
“No need to shout,” said the man after handcuffing Tang Long and pulling him up from the ground by his collar, showing his police badge to her, “I am the police.”
“The police? What right do the police have to arrest my son?”
Tang’s mother completely lost her mind, acting like a shrew, blocking them and refusing to let them take Tang Long away.
Captain Liu turned to the man behind him and said, “I’ll take him to the police car first. You escort the old lady.”
“Okay,” the man nodded slightly.
Tang’s mother’s eyes rolled wildly, and she suddenly sat on the ground and cried out, “No! I absolutely disagree with you taking away my son! Even if you’re the police, you must have a reason, right? Otherwise, I’ll sue you in court! I warn you, I know a great lawyer!”
Captain Liu said in an official tone, “Sorry, ma’am, this time we received a report accusing you and your son, Tang Long, of intentional injury and illegal detention, among other charges. Now I’m going to take you and your son back to the police station for questioning. Please get up from the ground. If you surrender voluntarily, we can plead for leniency for you in front of the judge.”
Tang’s mother was completely dumbfounded. She looked at Tang Mei, who was standing indifferently on the side, and stood up awkwardly from the ground, grabbing her collar and roaring, “Was it you who called the police? When did you call the police? Do you want the police to arrest me? Do you want your mother to go to jail? How can you be so heartless! Your brother and I are doing all these for your own good! You ungrateful b*tch!”
“For me?” Tang Mei sneered, “Is it really for me, or is it for your own wealth and prosperity? You both know the answer in your hearts.”
Tang Long, firmly held by the police, unable to move his bound hands, could only spit at her in frustration, “B*tch! I trusted you so much, thinking you had come to your senses! I didn’t expect you to be beyond redemption! Police, she already put her fingerprint on the contract just now. The contract must be enforced. Even if I’m arrested, I still want to get what 1 deserve!”
Tang Mei screamed, “That contract was forced on me by you! It goes against my personal will and is legally invalid!”
“Who can prove it?” Tang Long roared arrogantly.
At this moment, Liu Yue, who had been standing by watching the drama, finally reacted.
lie raised his hand, smiled, and interjected, “I can prove it. 1 have a recording.”
With that, he played the recording file in front of the police.
Tang Long glared at him furiously. “You’ve been eavesdropping all this time?”
Liu Yue spread his hands and said, “I was just being a good Samaritan. Officer, I’m not breaking the law, am I?”
Captain Liu said, “Thanks to your preservation of the recording evidence this time. But we still need you to come back to the police station with me to assist in the investigation.”
Liu Yue shrugged nonchalantly. “Of course, I’ll fully cooperate with the police.”
“Let’s go,” Captain Liu pushed Tang Long’s shoulder slightly to urge him.
The old lady wailed and blocked their way again, “No, you can’t take my son away! If you’re going to arrest someone, arrest me alone. It’s all my idea! It has nothing to do with my son!”
“Ma’am, why make it so difficult?” Captain Liu was a bit helpless.
But she was too old, and even though he was a police officer, he couldn’t do anything to her. He could only try to persuade her kindly, “If you continue like this, you’ll only make matters worse. It’s better to come back to the police station with us. Although your son is involved in multiple charges, fortunately, he hasn’t committed murder. He’ll only be sentenced to a few years.”
“This is our family’s business. Why should the police interfere?” Tang’s mother grabbed Tang Mei fiercely, “She’s my daughter, and 1 have the freedom to do whatever I want to her. None of you can interfere!”
“Ma’am, Tang Mei is an adult and has all legal rights. Even though you’re her biological mother, you still can’t commit any illegal acts against her,” Captain Liu patiently advised, “I suggest you come back to the police station with us.”
Taking advantage of the situation, Tang’s mother pinched Tang Mei’s arm fiercely. “You little slut, if 1 had known earlier, 1 wouldn’t have given birth to you.. What a sin I’ve committed by giving birth to you!”
