“Really?” Mei Shu casually glanced towards the direction of the bedroom and asked, “Who is lying in there?”
Only then did Old Wang recall that she forgot to close the door in her haste to call someone in. She quickly walked over to block the entrance, “This is my daughter-in-law. She hasn’t woken up yet. Please wait in the living room.”
Mei Shu ignored her, forcefully pushed her aside, and walked to Lin He’s side. He gently placed his hand on her pulse.
“Hey, what are you doing?” Old Wang hurried over to stop him.
Impatiently, Mei Shu released Lin He’s wrist, took out two plastic gloves from her pocket, put them on, and then took out a sealed bag. She carefully placed the bowl of porridge, which still contained a small amount of rice soup, into the bag. After that, she picked up the bag, directly lifted Lin He into her arms, and walked towards the door.
“Wait, who are you? Where are you talcing my daughter-in-law?” Old Wang rushed to stop Mei Shu, glaring at the bag.
The behavior of this person was just too strange!
She absolutely couldn’t let this inexplicable person take Lin He and the remaining porridge away!
But Mei Shu wouldn’t let her have her way.
She turned to the side, avoided Old Wang’s hand, and quickly walked to the elevator.
Old Wang, unable to stop him, was infuriated. She started to go berserk in the corridor, “Help! Someone is kidnapping my daughter-in-law right in front of me! Can someone come and save me?”
Although this building only had one household per floor, it wasn’t to the extent that no sound could be heard on other floors. Old Wang’s tantrum in the stairwell was enough to be heard by people on different levels, especially if someone happened to be waiting for the elevator.
Unfortunately, Old Wang, with all her calculations, didn’t expect that the person living downstairs was Mei Shu.
Her home was on the top floor, and it wasn’t easy to attract unaware bystanders for help.
The elevator finally arrived amid the commotion.
Mei Shu, carrying Lin He, entered first.
Old Wang also wanted to follow, but Mei Shu beat her to it. With a powerful kick to her plump buttocks, she directly kicked her out of the elevator.
“Ouch.” Old Wang, in pain, rubbed her lower back and was about to sit on the ground and throw a tantrum. Unexpectedly, the elevator door slowly closed. She couldn’t pull off any tricks or get anyone to see her, no matter how she acted.
Things were about to get out of control.
Old Wang had no choice but to curse Lin He bitterly, then quickly descended the stairs.
But she was already old, and descending more than ten flights of stairs was no easy task.
When she reached the first floor, Lin He’s figure was nowhere to be seen.
An ambulance soon arrived at the entrance of the residential community.
Mei Shu carried Lin He into the ambulance. She explained to the doctor, “She was drugged. I don’t know what specific drug, but you can take these for testing.”
She handed the sealed bag to the doctor.
The doctor carefully put it away and instructed the driver to start the car.
Three hours later, Lin He finally woke up in the hospital ward.
She had been forced to take a large amount of sleeping pills, but fortunately, the timely arrival of the ambulance prevented any life-threatening situation.
After waking up, Lin He saw the white ceiling above her.
A man in a police uniform was sitting beside her. Seeing her open her eyes, he joyfully shouted towards the door, “Captain! She’s awake!”
Captain Wang put out the cigarette in his hand, walked over, and showed his police badge to her, “Hello, Miss Lin. Don’t be afraid. I’ll ask you a few questions later. Just answer truthfully.”
She nodded in a daze, apparently still not fully understanding the situation.
Before she fainted, she remembered being at home. How come there were police officers guarding her now?
Who reported the police?
“Don’t be afraid.” It seemed that Mei Shu noticed her confusion. She suddenly reached out and covered the back of her hand.
During the time she was unconscious, Mei Shu had washed off the makeup on her face in the bathroom. Now she revealed her original appearance.
Seeing Mei Shu, Lin He finally smiled with relief. The tears that she hadn’t shed even when Old Wang tortured her earlier finally flowed down.
Captain Wang brought a chair and sat down next to Lin He. Speaking in a low voice, he asked, “Do you remember what happened? We found an overdose of sleeping pills in the porridge. Do you remember who brought you the porridge?”
Hearing him mention this, Lin He finally understood why she suddenly fell into a coma. Shivering in fear, she said, “It was my mother-in-law.”
Captain Wang nodded and continued, “Why did your mother-in-law do this? Do you know?”
Lin He revealed a self-deprecating smile, “Her son was arrested for soliciting prostitutes. She wanted me to explain to the police that it was all a misunderstanding and get her son released. 1 refused, so she deliberately tricked me into drinking that bowl of porridge.”
Captain Wang exchanged glances with Mei Shu, then stood up and solemnly promised her, “Don’t worry. We will continue to investigate this matter. We will get you justice as soon as possible..”
