CHAPTER 764 Under Arrest

Leaving so soon, Mrs. Hu Qi?

Her eyes bulged at the sudden visit from the officer but before her brain could register anything further, his words rang out clearly.

Youre under arrest for the kidnapping of Mrs. Li Jing.

Excuse me?

You have the right to remain silent maam. Anything you say can and would be used against you in the court of law.

She took a step back instinctively and turned her head in the direction of the footsteps coming from behind.

She did not have to struggle too much as the next thing her eyes landed on her maid.

.....

Quick call my brother, Lin Liqin. This nonsense can not go on, Lin Qi instructed but to her amazement, her maid made no effort to carry out her order and instead folded her arms in front of her chest.

Are you daft? Lin Qi questioned, drawing her brows together. Fast, she added, her impatience growing by the second.

Still, her maid made no effort to leave and watched her through her lashes.

Madam, until now, you do not know when you have lost?

Lin Qi squinted at her. It was then the situation settled in her brain and she understood what was going on.

You have stalled for long. Please come with us without any resistance, the officer mentioned and showed her his badge briefly when she turned her head to face him.

There is no more time. Youve been caught.

Her jaw dropped. She wished to complain and say something but no words seem to form on her lips.

I have the right to cuff you, but if you cooperate...

No. Officer, you must have gotten this whole thing wrong. I am not a criminal. You cannot arrest me based on the words of a young girl, Lin Qi stated once more.

Do you think this is because of her words? How about the testimonies of reliable witnesses?

But I...

He shook his head and opened the handcuffs. It was useless speaking to her and hoping shed understand.

The fact that she was in her disguise just like the maid had informed them, was reason enough to believe all that has been said about her.

I should have known I had snakes living with me, she spat out and watched as the cuffs clicked around her wrist.

I am sorry it took you long, Madam, but now you know, her maid said with a smile.

Officer, I wont get in the way. I have a report to give the Master of the house.

Dont you dare! Lin Qi threatened.

You keep forgetting that any word said can and will be used against you in the court of law, Mrs. Hu. I suggest you let us leave now before you compound your case.

Having been threatened with a worse case in court, Lin Qi kept her lips shut and allowed the officer to escort her out of her house and straight for their car.

In all her life, she had never been so humiliated before. And today she was because of one personLi Jing.

Right after leaving the hospital, Zhang Qui Lang returned home to the one person who needed her the most, her daughter Bai Qing Mei.

A gentle knock on the door was all it took to jolt Bai Qing Mei from her bed and rush towards the door.

She knew the sound of her mothers knock and without doubting for a second, she raced there to unbolt her door.

As soon as it was pulled open, Bai Qing Mei rushed into her mothers open arms and drew her nostrils.

Mum, she called out in a weak voice, letting her tears flow out once more.

They did it again.

I know, kiddo. I know. But it is okay now. Momma is here with you, baby. Its okay.

For the next few minutes, Zhang Qui Lang held her daughter close to her chest and patted her head gently like how she had always done as a child.

You good now? Zhang Qui Lang asked her daughter.

Yes.

Thats my girl. Come.

Together the mother and daughter duo went into her room.

And as the sound of the door resounded, Bai Qing Mei went ahead to explain everything to her mother, earning sympathy from the latter until Zhang Qui Lang pulled on her arm and hugged her again.

Let it go. This is no time to be weak, Qing Mei. From now on we would take matters into our hands and fight back, she reminded her sternly.ReadNovelFull.com

If you keep cowering at his every whim, Ye Cheng would continue to fight back and we can do nothing but watch as we are hunted and pushed to the wall.

I do not want that anymore, mother. I am tired of being at the receiving end. If only grandfather wasnt hurt and...

POW!

Bai Qing Meis eyes went wide for a second as the sound of her mothers slap rang a dirty bell in her ear and the sting, hurt her cheeks.

Get a grip on yourself, Zhang Qui Lang stated firmly as the look in her eyes suddenly changed.

No longer did the softness in those eyes that glistened with love remain. Instead, she looked like a vulture ready to devour its prey.

It was the same wickedness that coursed through her when she was ready to take down an opponent.

And she as a lady was one people feared for her ruthlessness.

At times when she saw Bai Qing Mei, she wondered how she gave birth to such a cowardly daughter.

Bai Qing Mei blinked severally while forcing her mind to wrap around the situation.

I wont apologize for that, dear. I need to shake that fear out of you. You are my child and my love. However, I would not tolerate any form of fear.

She swallowed, understanding what her mother meant.

I mean business. This is war. Your grandfather is not here but you have me and you have yourself. Pull your act together, its time for revenge. Understand me?

Ignoring the sting on her cheek, she nodded at her mother and straightened her spine. Understood.

Good. Now, what is your first point of action at getting back at them? Zhang Qui Lang asked.

I have someone I can use. It is time to be the villainess again.
