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 leader’s daughter, the two police officers didn’t dare to use too much strength and almost couldn’t 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! Didn’t you say that I’m 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 I’m 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 Shi Man strangely. “When did you change your clothes?”
Only then did Shi 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 didn’t suspect anything. His gaze slid across her collar which was stained with blood. “Are you injured?”
Shi Man shook her head gently.
Chief Zheng sighed. When he turned to face Shen Xian, he felt ashamed. “I’m sorry. It’s all my fault for not keeping an eye on Zheng Xin. However, I guess the reason behind this matter isn’t so simple. When I obtain the results of investigation, I’ll 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, I’ll help you back to rest.” Shi Man’s 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.” Shi Man and Yi Zheng looked at each other and helped Shen Xian into the car.
Yi Zheng’s parents, like the Shi 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 Shi 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 daughter’s dark expression, she immediately swallowed her words.
Although she did not know how many secrets Shi 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 Shi Man’s arrangements and believed in her precious daughter and did not cause trouble for her.
The car quickly drove back to the Shi 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 Shi Man’s sleeve and apologized to her with a guilty expression. “I’m sorry. If I could have followed her closely, this wouldn’t have happened to Mom today. If I had reacted earlier and found her, she wouldn’t 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 Shi Man looking at her gently with a faint smile in her eyes. “You’ve already done very well. If you hadn’t informed me in time, I wouldn’t have been able to rush back so quickly. Moreover, you were very smart. You knew that the fragrance was strange, so you didn’t inhale too much. You’ve 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 Shi Man, her voice filled with unwillingness and grievance.
Shi Man took out a tissue to wipe her tears and patted her back helplessly. “Alright, don’t cry. Go and have a good sleep. You still have lots to do tomorrow.”
“Yes! I’ll definitely be more useful in the future!” Su Tang sobbed childishly as she promised her.
Shi Man chuckled helplessly. “Alright, I’m waiting to see. Go to sleep.”
After finally sending Su Tang off, the moment the door closed, Shi Man’s 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 Shi family was a drug addict, the news would definitely not be hidden. Once it spread, the entire Shi family would collapse.
Thinking of this possibility, Shi 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!”
