Chapter 118 This is also a way to protect her.
Aunt Liu's voice grew softer and softer until it disappeared completely.
The dimly lit private room had a somewhat oppressive, yellowish light.
The halo swayed in the air, as if it might go out at any moment, casting a shadow over the entire space.
Liu Ma's wrinkled face was contorted with malice, her eyes flashing with malice as she stared fiercely at Lin Qingran, as if she wanted to devour her alive.
Looking at Liu Ma's appearance, Lin Qingran felt a chill run down her spine and wondered to herself: Why does Liu Ma hate me so much? Why does she want to kill me?
Liu Ma's reply quickly reached Lin Qingran's ears.
"Lin Qingran, do you know what? I wanted you to die! To die along with your unborn child! I know you feel wronged, but you can't blame anyone else. Blame yourself for being born from that woman Zhou Lan's belly!"
Aunt Liu's voice was sharp and piercing, echoing in the small space. Every word was like a sharp blade, cutting through the suffocating air.
Lin Qingran sat there quietly, feeling a touch of emotion at Liu Ma's words, but mostly speechless.
She took a deep breath, looked at Liu Ma's body which was trembling slightly with anger, and slowly spoke.
“Aunt Liu, I know you have your tragic past, but you should hate Zhou Lan, not me. Since I returned to the Lin family, when has Zhou Lan ever looked at me properly? She treats that adopted daughter Lin Yuyan like her own flesh and blood. Even if I die, she won’t feel sad at all.”
Lin Qingran slowly raised her eyes and stared at Liu Ma's face, which was twisted with anger.
"Wake up, don't let hatred blind you and vent your anger on the wrong target."
Aunt Liu laughed wildly, as if she had heard the funniest joke in the world.
Her laughter, filled with boundless madness, echoed repeatedly in the dimly lit, empty private room, like the hooting of an owl, sending chills down one's spine.
"Hahahaha, yes, I really did pick the wrong person. I should have harmed Lin Yuyan in the first place! Although she was just an adopted daughter, Zhou Lan cherished her like a treasure. If she died, Zhou Lan would be heartbroken. That's what I wanted to see. What do you know? She's lived a life of luxury since she was little, but why did she deserve to live so well? Have those two ever considered the suffering I've endured? That bitch Zhou Lan, she ruined my life, and I must make her pay the price!"
Lin Qingran frowned, her eyes filled with helplessness.
"It seems you've gone mad; there's no reasoning with you."
Liu Ma's laughter stopped abruptly. Like a maddened beast, she suddenly drew a gleaming knife from her waist.
"Enough with the nonsense. I've already come this far, so what does it matter if I'm insane or not? Whether it's you or Lin Yuyan, we haven't investigated anything. Today is your death day!"
Liu Ma roared as she charged toward Lin Qingran, her eyes turning extremely bloodthirsty, filled with nothing but the desire to kill.
However, just as Liu Ma rushed up, the door to the private room was kicked open from the outside.
With a loud bang, the air inside the private room trembled, and a group of police officers rushed in like heavenly soldiers, quickly pinning Liu Ma to the ground.
Aunt Liu stared at Lin Qingran in disbelief, her anger almost palpable.
But soon, she burst into maniacal laughter.
"So you were prepared all along, huh? But it doesn't matter. Even if I'm arrested, you have no evidence to prove my guilt. Besides, arresting me is tantamount to declaring war on Zhou Lan. She won't let you go! You think you can escape her grasp? You're too naive, Lin Qingran. I've been by her side for so many years, I know her too well. Her heart is more venomous than a snake. You've touched her interests, and she won't let you off easily. As for me, I'm just a pawn in her game. If she finds out I've been arrested, she'll definitely find a way to pin everything on me, and then continue to roam free and torture you!"
Lin Qingran stood up, a cold smile playing on her lips, and looked at Liu Ma with mockery.
"You think I'm afraid of her? But then again, since you hate Zhou Lan so much, why do you expect her to bring me down? What secrets do you have? Don't think I don't know anything."
The relationship between her and Zhou Lan is definitely not as simple as what young people today find out on the surface; there must be a deeper conspiracy involved.
Lin Qingran stared into Liu Ma's eyes and said, word by word.
"Don't worry, as long as I have a breath left, I will definitely find out the truth."
Aunt Liu's expression changed drastically, a hint of panic flashed in her eyes, and she turned her head away uncomfortably.
Lin Qingran's face darkened.
The reason Liu Ma harmed me back then was definitely not just for revenge against Zhou Lan; there must have been a deeper conspiracy involved.
However, the most important thing right now is to get Liu's mother into the police station; the rest can only be investigated slowly.
The police station was brightly lit, its white light reflecting off the cold walls and casting a chilling glow, as if scrutinizing everyone.
Lin Qingran was questioned by the police, recounting the events in detail. The questioning continued until evening.
When Lin Qingran walked out of the police station, night had already fallen, and the city was brightly lit, but Lin Qingran had no heart to appreciate it.
Bo Ye had been waiting anxiously outside the door. When he saw Lin Qingran, he rushed forward, his eyes filled with worry.
"Jiuge, how are you? Did Aunt Liu confess?"
Lin Qingran shook her head, a hint of weariness in her eyes.
"Getting Aunt Liu to confess isn't something that can be done in a day or two. She definitely had other motives for sending me that text message. The fact that I'm still alive means that she hasn't achieved her goal yet, and she won't admit her crimes until then. I'm not particularly surprised by this."
She rubbed her temples, feeling a headache coming on.
Bo Ye raised his hand to support the somewhat tired Lin Qingran, silently lowered his head, and after a long while, he took Lin Qingran's hand and asked with some doubt.
"We can't rush this. We still have time to investigate. But you know Liu Ma won't confess easily, so why did you still want to see her?"
Lin Qingran looked at Bo Ye meaningfully, a strange glint in her eyes.
“My feud with Zhou Lan has been brewing in the shadows for a long time, and it was bound to erupt sooner or later. Rather than passively responding when she makes a move against me, it’s better to take the initiative now and catch her off guard. Besides, Liu Ma has been with Zhou Lan for many years and must know a lot about her. Sending Liu Ma to jail is also a way to protect her. If Zhou Lan decides to kill her one day, and Liu Ma dies, her secrets will be known to no one forever.”
Lin Qingran came to see Aunt Liu today at great risk.
This was a risky move, which Lin Qingran knew long ago, but it was a move she had no choice but to make.
In order to gain the upper hand in this struggle, risks must be taken.
Bo Ye nodded solemnly, looking at Lin Qingran with worry in his eyes.
