She wonât lie to us.
Everyone excitedly said, âMs. Zhu, rest assured, we will listen to you. You are a good person and you definitely wonât deceive us.â
âYes, actually getting a guarantee from Ms. Zhu is enough for me to feel relieved. The Zhus live in Jiangzhou and cannot run away. Besides, we all know Ms. Zhuâs character; whatâs there not to trust?â
Cai Ping was stunned. How did a few words convince everyone? Are you all idiots? You just believe her so easily.
âEveryone, please be patient for a while longer. Everything will settle down eventually. If in the end Zhu Group cannot solve the problem, I, Zhu Mingjing, will sell all my assets, all my dowry, just to ensure that none of you will suffer any loss.â
It is said that daughters of wealthy families will have a generous dowry prepared by their parents long ago. For a family like the Zhus, their daughterâs dowry must be considerable. This statement truly reassured everyone, and the kind and responsible image of Zhu Mingjing took root in their hearts.
âMs. Zhu is really a good person, good people will be rewarded, and Zhu Group will surely overcome this crisis.â
Everyone started discussing spiritedly.
Zhou Aiqin pulled Cai Ping aside, âSister, now we have Ms. Zhuâs guarantee, we can feel relieved. Letâs not make things difficult for Ms. Zhu anymore, letâs go.â
Cai Ping didnât want to let Zhu Mingjing off so easily, âMs. Zhu sure has a way with words. Just a few sentences and we all believe you. Things canât be this simple. â
Facing the other partyâs aggressive attitude, Mingjing calmly said, âSo,
Grandma, what do you want to do?â
For some reason, Cai Ping felt that her addressed as âGrandmaâ was a bit sarcastic.
At this moment, a little girl jumped out of the car, hugged Mingjingâs leg and looked as cute as a glutinous rice ball. Everyoneâs eyes were drawn to the adorable child.
The little girl glared at Cai Ping and humphed, âYouâre a bad person for scolding my Big Sister.â
The little girlâs milky voice was indescribably cute.
Cai Ping was stunned, having been scolded by a child who hadnât even fully grown her hair yet. She was furious and pointed at the little girl, âWhere did this little brat come from?â
Mingjing gave her a faint glance, and Cai Ping saw a hidden, deep murderous intent in those eyes.
She was taken aback.
Zhou Aiqinâs disapproving voice echoed in her ears, âYou are too old for this, why bother arguing with a child?â
Cai Ping choked.
Qin Xu recognized the little girl immediately as the child Han Suwen had taken away from the museum. He quickly looked around, was Suwen nearby too?
With Ms. Zhuâs guarantee, the crowd gradually dispersed. After all, clinging on would not bring any benefits, so they might as well bet on Ms. Zhuâs character.
âMs. Zhu, could you let me see Suwen?â Qin Xu stepped forward and pleaded.
Zhu Shaodan subconsciously stood in front of Mingjing, sizing up Qin Xu,
âWho are you?â
âMs. Zhu, please return my daughter-in-law to us, or else Iâll accuse you of kidnapping.â Cai Ping said smugly.
Mingjing hooked her lips, âReally?â
âYouâre all bad people.â Ming Jing said angrily.
At this moment, Xu Huan and a police officer in uniform pushed through the crowd and approached, their eyes landing on Cai Pingâs face.
With the appearance of the police, everyone panicked, thinking that Zhu Mingjing had called them.
Xu Huanâs disdainful gaze flicked over the crowd as he coldly asked, âWho is
Cai Ping?â
Cai Ping was confused, but Zhou Aiqin quickly pointed to her, âOfficer, this is Cai Ping.â
Without a word, Xu Huan cuffed Cai Pingâs wrist and emotionlessly said, âI suspect you are involved in a kidnapping case from five years ago. We have preliminary evidence. Come with me to the police station for questioning.â
Cai Ping screamed when she realized what was happening, âOfficer, you must have made a mistake, right? Iâm just an ordinary person, how could I be involved in a kidnapping case?â
âWhether you are involved or not depends on the evidence. Letâs go.â Xu Huan didnât give her a chance to respond and immediately escorted her away with another colleague.
Everyone was dumbfounded. Suddenly, there was a reversal. A kidnapping case? Did this old woman actually commit such a crime?
Kidnappers were the most hated people among the crowd, even more despicable than robbers and murderers. Being separated in life is sometimes more unbearable than death.
âOfficer, you must be mistaken. How could my mom be involved in a kidnapping case?â Qin Xu snapped back to his senses and hurriedly chased after them.
Xu Huan gave Mingjing an imperceptible glance and nodded slightly before quickly stuffing the struggling Cai Ping into a police car parked nearby, which then sped away.
Qin Xu was at a loss.
Suddenly, his gaze fell on Mingjing, who was crouching on the ground, gently wiping the sweat off the little girlâs forehead with a handkerchief.
The little girlâs half-smiling face seemed innocent and charming, sweet and lovely.
Qin Xu felt that something was wrong as he recalled Han Suwenâs strange reaction in the museum last time.
Although she was usually grieving, she had never done anything so crazy before. This was the only time in the past five years. He thought her mental state must have been very serious. Could it beâ¦
âMs. Zhuâ¦,â Qin Xu stumbled over and before he got close, Zhu Shaodan grabbed his collar and pulled him away.
âGet lost.â
Qin Xu got up, his eyes falling on Mingjingâs face, staring deeply at her.
Mingjing hid behind Mingjingâs body, peeping out from behind her with a cautious expression.
âMs. Zhu, whatâs really going on here?â
Holding Mingjingâs hand, Mingjing said lightly, âYou can ask your mother whatâs really going on.â
As she finished, Mingjing nodded to Song Yinzhang, holding the little girl and getting into the car.
Zhu Shaodan also wanted to get in, but Mingjing gave him a faint glance. Zhu Shaodan pursed his lips and obediently stepped back.
âAre mom and grandma⦠all right?â
âBang!â The car door slammed shut, leaving Zhu Shaodan with a face full of dust.
After the car left, the little followers gathered around and chattered, âLynn, whatâs your relationship with Ms. Zhu?â
Zhu Shaodan gave them a quick look and said irritably, âStop poking your nose into other peopleâs business, scram!â
