Mr. Su was also furious.
If the police were allowed to investigate... what would the neighbors think of the Su Family in the future?
"You come to investigate our family for no reason at all. What kind of sense does that make? I could understand if there was a legitimate reason, but it’s over swapping a baby? What baby did we swap?"
"They’re both my daughters! Who would swap their own child? After Su Yun gave birth at our house that day, her mother and I were planning to take good care of her during her confinement. And what happens? She turns around and ungratefully reports us—her own parents and her older sister—to the police?"
Seeing their indignant expressions, one of the officers took out a bowl of porridge.
"Take a look at this."
The bowl was all too familiar to Su’s mother.
It was a bowl from her house.
That was the very bowl she had used to serve porridge to that little slut.
’So that little slut didn’t drink it back then? And when she ran away, she took this bowl of porridge to the police station?’
"That’s not—"
Su’s mother tried to argue.
But the officer’s next words left her speechless.
"Don’t say this isn’t your bowl. It has Su Youzhi’s name carved on it. Furthermore, Su Yun brought this bowl of porridge to our station four days ago. The reason we’re only coming now is because we were running tests on it."
"This is the lab report. It contains traces of a sedative. We also spent the last few days investigating where you bought the drug. Li Hong from the town hospital confessed yesterday."
They were all about the evidence.
When Su’s mother heard this, the color instantly drained from her face.
"I... I didn’t! She’s slandering me—"
"That was the twenty yuan you gave her. It still has your fingerprints on it. This is from the forensic analysis we had done in the city."
Su’s mother was dumbfounded.
’What analysis? The money can prove it was me?’
’No, impossible. They must be bluffing.’
The police didn’t waste any more words on her. After all, the evidence was irrefutable.
One of them pushed the couple aside and went inside to search—
Su’s mother tried to stop him.
But she was blocked by another officer. "Li Cuihua, do not obstruct our investigation."
Just then, the officer who had gone in to search came back out.
He had found a paper packet in Su’s mother’s room.
"Captain, I found it. This is it."
When Su’s mother saw the paper packet, she became utterly flustered.
She wanted to rush forward and snatch the packet.
But before she could even reach out, an officer restrained her.
"Don’t move. Take her away."
Su’s mother panicked. "No, you can’t arrest me! It wasn’t me, I didn’t—"
Just then, Mr. Su suddenly slapped Su’s mother across the face. "What in the world did you do to Su Yun?"
Stunned by the blow, Su’s mother instinctively wanted to hit back.
But when she met the old man’s gaze, she burst into tears. "Yes, it was all me! I just can’t stand the sight of her, I just wanted to teach her a lesson—"
Mr. Su was furious.
"She’s your daughter too! You... you’re going to be the death of me!"
He then turned to the police. "Officer, I had no idea about any of this. I never imagined she would do something like this to my younger daughter, Su Yun. It’s all my fault—"
The officer glanced at him.
"We’ll investigate whether or not you were involved. For now, take Li Cuihong away."
This time, Su’s mother didn’t scream or resist. She let the police lead her away.
The captain, however, remained behind.
He was there to question Su Tong, who was in the other room—
Half an hour later, the police left the Su Family’s home.
Meanwhile, the neighbors on all sides were in complete shock.
They never would have thought Su’s mother could do such a thing.
