Judging from her reaction, the police knew that the woman behind Mother Chen was today’s target. He glanced at his comrades, and two female police officers walked towards them.
Seeing them coming, Mother Chen shouted, "What do you want to do? You can’t take my daughter away!"
One female police officer grabbed Mother Chen’s hand and pulled her away, while another female police officer grabbed Chen Lina’s arm to prevent her from escaping.
Father Chen was shocked and at a loss when he saw this sudden situation. He just came back from visiting his brother in town yesterday and didn’t know what happened in the village recently.
"Chen Lina, you were arrested for kidnapping a baby 12 years ago, abusing the victim, and attempted murder. The evidence and witnesses have concluded that you are proven guilty. The sentence will be announced in two days," the police officer said coldly.
After speaking, he gestured to his companion, and said, "Take her away."
As soon as he finished speaking, the female police officer dragged Chen Lina who was shouting crazily toward the gate, "Let me go! You have no right to arrest me! I was not wrong! It was that bitch who provoked me first!"
Seeing her daughter being dragged away, Mother Chen quickly pushed away the female police officer and ran over to help her daughter up. But before she could reach Chen Lina, she was stopped by other police officers.
"Comrade, I advise you to think twice. If you insist on obstructing our mission, you will also be arrested," the police officer warned her sternly.
When Mother Chen heard that she was going to be arrested, her legs went weak. She sat on the ground and howled, "Heavens ah! What crime did my daughter commit to deserve such slander?!"
The police officer standing in front of her replied expressionlessly, "Your daughter is guilty of kidnapping, victim abuse, and attempted murder."
After hearing his words, Mother Chen was speechless. She looked at the police officer in disbelief, as if he were a wild animal.
But the police officer ignored her and only said, "Only after she receives the court’s verdict and is transferred to prison can the criminal’s family visit her."
The police arrested Chen Lina and notified the Chen family before leaving. Father Chen and others had not yet reacted to this sudden situation and stood there in a daze, watching them dragged away Chen Lina.
It took them a long time to finally realize that one of their family members was a criminal.
Father Chen was furious when he saw his wife crying and screaming like a shrew. He walked up to his wife, pulled her up forcefully, and shouted, "Stop crying! Look at the good things your daughter has done!"
After hearing his wife’s words, Father Chen felt suffocated and said in shock, "The bride price of 50 yuan is already the highest in our village, and he is even willing to give our daughter a sewing machine!" ƒrēewebnovel.com
