Chapter 485: The Wrong Beginning

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

When Zheng Xin was taken away, she was still not in a good state. It was not until the cold handcuffs were put on her hands that she suddenly came back to her senses and struggled violently.

Seeing that she was the leaders daughter, the two police officers didnt dare to use too much strength and almost couldnt hold her down.

Zheng Xin kept twisting her body and kicking her legs as she walked. She roared miserably, Zheng, how dare you let someone arrest me! Didnt you say that Im your daughter? How can you treat me like this?

Chief Zheng closed his eyes in pain, and there was an imperceptible sob in his strong voice. But Im also a police officer! Take her away!

Xinxin! Madam Zheng cried and wanted to pounce over to save Zheng Xin, but she was personally stopped by Chief Zheng. She watched helplessly as her daughter was brought down from the rooftop.

Chief Zheng barely stabilized his emotions. He turned around and looked at s.h.i.+ Man strangely. When did you change your clothes?

Only then did s.h.i.+ Man remember that she and Yi Zheng had rushed back from outside and had actually forgotten to change out of their casual clothes because they were in a hurry to find Shen Xian. She could only frown and answer without changing her expression, Just now, I felt uncomfortable wearing the gown, so I changed back into my own clothes.

Chief Zheng didnt suspect anything. His gaze slid across her collar which was stained with blood. Are you injured?

s.h.i.+ Man shook her head gently.

Chief Zheng sighed. When he turned to face Shen Xian, he felt ashamed. Im sorry. Its all my fault for not keeping an eye on Zheng Xin. However, I guess the reason behind this matter isnt so simple. When I obtain the results of investigation, Ill definitely tell you the truth immediately.

Shen Xian shook her head tiredly. Her body swayed unsteadily and she quickly fell into a warm embrace.

Mom, Ill help you back to rest. s.h.i.+ Mans calm eyes swept past her and landed on Chief Zheng. Uncle Zheng, is that okay?

Logically speaking, everyone present had to return to the police station with him for an investigation, but he was in the wrong after all. He could only make an exception and nod. Alright, you guys go back first. Tomorrow, my police officer will go to your house to take a statement. You must cooperate.

Got it. s.h.i.+ Man and Yi Zheng looked at each other and helped Shen Xian into the car.

Yi Zhengs parents, like the s.h.i.+ family, had been sent to the hospital by an ambulance because they had inhaled a large amount of unknown gas. Shen Xian insisted on accompanying them, but she was stopped by s.h.i.+ Man. You just need to go home and rest now. Leave the rest to me.

Shen Xian wanted to say something, but when she suddenly noticed her daughters dark expression, she immediately swallowed her words.

Although she did not know how many secrets s.h.i.+ Man and Yi Zheng were hiding from her, now was clearly not the time for her to get to the bottom of it.

Shen Xian felt that it was enough as long as she listened to s.h.i.+ Mans arrangements and believed in her precious daughter and did not cause trouble for her.

The car quickly drove back to the s.h.i.+ family. The manor, which was originally lively at night, became quiet.

After the three of them sent Shen Xian back to her room, Su Tang hesitantly grabbed s.h.i.+ Mans sleeve and apologized to her with a guilty expression. Im sorry. If I could have followed her closely, this wouldnt have happened to Mom today. If I had reacted earlier and found her, she wouldnt have suffered such humiliation.

Tears of grievance were still welling up in her eyes. Before it could fall uncontrollably, Su Tang suddenly felt a warm palm on her head.

She looked up in a daze and saw s.h.i.+ Man looking at her gently with a faint smile in her eyes. Youve already done very well. If you hadnt informed me in time, I wouldnt have been able to rush back so quickly. Moreover, you were very smart. You knew that the fragrance was strange, so you didnt inhale too much. Youve done me a huge favor by protecting yourself.

Tears finally flowed out of her eyes uncontrollably. For the first time, Su Tang cried loudly in front of s.h.i.+ Man, her voice filled with unwillingness and grievance.

s.h.i.+ Man took out a tissue to wipe her tears and patted her back helplessly. Alright, dont cry. Go and have a good sleep. You still have lots to do tomorrow.

Yes! Ill definitely be more useful in the future! Su Tang sobbed childishly as she promised her.

s.h.i.+ Man chuckled helplessly. Alright, Im waiting to see. Go to sleep.

After finally sending Su Tang off, the moment the door closed, s.h.i.+ Mans originally doting expression suddenly darkened. Yi Zheng, it must be that person again. He was the one who gave that strange incense to Zheng Xin. He was also the one who instigated Zheng Xin to harm my mother.

If she had been a moment later, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Shen Xian would definitely be addicted to drugs. If the mistress of the s.h.i.+ family was a drug addict, the news would definitely not be hidden. Once it spread, the entire s.h.i.+ family would collapse.

Thinking of this possibility, s.h.i.+ Man bit her lower lip in self-reproach until the smell of blood spread in her mouth. I was negligent.. The entire plan was wrong from the beginning!
