The two policemen looked at each other and frowned slightly. 

“Both of you are surnamed Cheng, and they wouldn’t report you for no reason. Now that the Cheng family’s stock market has plummeted, there’s no benefit in slandering you.”

Yes, there was indeed no benefit. However, slandering her to make Cheng Die look better was a routine that she was used to. The green leaves matched the red flowers. 

Her face was full of bitterness as she sighed lightly, “But I didn’t kill anyone. Ever since I was young, grandfather has been the best to me out of the entire family. I love my grandfather very much.”

Her explanation was too weak. After saying so much, it was as if it was useless. Once the suspicion was established, it would be difficult to dispel it unless there was solid evidence. She understood this logic, but now that things had changed, where could she find evidence?

The two police officers were not moved at all. Cheng Nuo let out a breath, saying, “I am Cheng Dahai’s legitimate child, and Cheng Die is the stepmother’s child. In the Cheng family, only grandfather and I are related by blood. The person who would most likely harm him is not me!”

She did not want to say this at first; she had planned to keep it in her stomach. After all, the Cheng family ate people and did not spit out their bones. What was the use of admitting this to them?

Hearing this, the two police officers looked incredulous and retorted, “Cheng Nuo, are you delusional? Everyone in the city knows that you are the adopted daughter of the Cheng family. You actually said that you are biological. Do you think that’s believable?”

Cheng Nuo was a little emotional. 

“But that’s the truth! I am the Cheng family’s biological daughter. Although the public said that I am an adopted daughter, I do indeed have the blood of the Cheng family flowing through my veins!”

This was what her grandfather had told her before he died. It couldn’t be fake!

She had always been an adopted daughter. She had experienced countless disdainful looks and had been bullied by many people. The public had also always thought that she was the Cheng family’s adopted daughter. She had long expected that no one would believe her. When she heard the police officer’s words, she was not very surprised. She just felt inexplicably wronged.

No matter how much she explained, it would be useless. Cheng Nuo sighed. A sense of helplessness flashed through her eyes as she stabilized her emotions.

“I want to see my lawyer. If you have anything to say, you can tell him. Before the court session, I won’t say anything related to the case. I’m not guilty.”

When the police heard Cheng Nuo’s words, they nodded and said, “But your sister identified you. She said that she saw you hurt your grandfather with her own eyes. We need to detain you.”

“Okay. Understood.”

As Cheng Nuo spoke, she was already prepared to be detained. She did not expect a tall man to suddenly walk into the police station. Cheng Nuo turned sideways and frowned when she saw who it was.

Qiao Ran strode into the interrogation room and nodded politely at the police officer. Then, he stood in front of Cheng Nuo and said with a slight smile, “I’m here to pass on a message for boss.”

Cheng Nuo was stunned. She knew that this man was Gu Chenge’s assistant. What did he mean by bringing him here? Was Gu Chenge going to help her? 

“What message?” she asked doubtfully.

Qiao Ran pursed his lips, lowering his head and smiling faintly, “The boss said that he would be willing to lend a helping hand to people who are honest with each other.”

Cheng Nuo’s face darkened when she heard that, and she felt a little embarrassed. Why did she hear a threat in those words? Did he really want her to admit that she was the woman who had a one-night stand with him back then? She did not want to tell Gu Chenge the truth. She had raised the babies by herself, and they were very close to her. Moreover, she did not want a man to suddenly appear in her life. Moreover, this man was such a self-righteous tyrant!

He actually asked his assistant to pressure her and insisted that she bow her head in order to be willing to help. This was simply too much. He had sent someone to forcefully take her away in the morning and even had people guard her every step of the way. It was as if someone had kidnapped her and did not give her freedom. Now he had someone come to pressure and threaten her. 

How could there be such a dog-like man?!
