Tang Mei gasped in pain, inhaling a cold breath, tears uncontrollably streaming down her face.
She gripped Tang’s mother’s shoulder, suppressing a sob, “Mom, this is the last time I’ll call you like this. Since I was young, I’ve always known that your favorite child has always been Tang Long. No matter how hard I try to impress you, you’ll never like me more.”
“But I’ve never resented you. Today, 1 finally understood. I won’t let myself be foolish anymore. From now on, consider me not your daughter. This way, you’ll only have Tang Long as your only child, without me around to bother you.”
“Do you think by saying this, you can repay the debt you owe me? Back then, 1 risked my life to give birth to you and almost died on the operating table! How will you repay me for that?”
Since the masks were off, Tang’s mother finally dropped the facade of a loving mother and demanded a settlement without any mercy.
Tang Mei said, “Over these years, to ensure you and Tang Long could live a comfortable life, I started working hard to earn money before even graduating. I paid for my own tuition through my own work. Besides that, 1 also had to support the whole family’s expenses. Aren’t these expenses enough to repay you?”
“Not enough!” Tang’s mother was unreasonable. “You owe me a life! Unless you tell the police to release your brother, I will never let you off. No matter where you go, I’ll come after you!”
Tang Mei’s emotions completely collapsed. She cried out in pain, without any dignity, “If you want my life, just take it! Why didn’t you kill me just now? Why? Wouldn’t it have been easier for you if 1 died?”
“Do you think I don’t want you dead?” Tang Long’s tone was malicious. “If you died by my hands, I would have to deal with disposing of your body! I don’t want a murder on my hands! If you want to die, go commit suicide!”
“Tang Long!” Captain Liu quickly stopped him from going too far and warned, “Instigating suicide is also a crime. 1 will write it truthfully in the file, without mercy!”
Tang Long sneered indifferently, “I’m already in your hands anyway. You can keep me locked up for as long as you want.”
Captain Liu sternly said, “Don’t you care about your mother? She’s already so old. If she gets out of prison before you, how will she live alone?”
Tang Long glanced at his mother, but there was no hint of concern in his eyes as a son. Instead, he laughed carelessly, “What’s the big deal? You can just keep my mom in prison for a few more years, and we can get out together. Anyway, they provide food and clothing in prison, so she won’t go hungry or lack clothes.”
“Are you speaking like a human being?” Even Captain Liu, who was usually very serious, was now angry. Fie grabbed Tang Long by the collar, tossing him into the police car without hesitation, as if he were handling a little chick.
Seeing this, Tang’s mother wanted to rush up and cause trouble again.
The other man who had been silent all along hurriedly grabbed her, using a clever move to stuff her into the car as the door opened. After closing the door, he slapped his hands together with a relaxed expression, “Mission accomplished.”
Tang Mei, overwhelmed with pain, glanced at the two men one last time before retracting her gaze. Her hand, hanging by her side, unconsciously clenched into a fist.
If she couldn’t cut ties with those two at this moment, then she was truly beyond redemption in this lifetime!
The man sensed her breakdown, walked back, and patted her shoulder to comfort her, “It’s all over now. This time, it’s really thanks to Director Liu’s call to inform President Mei. Otherwise, who knows what would have happened.”
Tang Mei wiped away her tears, gratefully smiling, “Thank you, Secretary Jiang.”
Jiang He shrugged, “It’s what I should do. You go ahead and get into my car first. I’ll take you and Liu Yue to the police station to make your statements together.”
Tang Mei subconsciously looked at Liu Yue, calming her emotions a bit, and asked, “Director Liu, what are you doing here?”
“If I said I was just passing by, would you believe me?” Liu Yue, with his hands in his pockets, tilted his head and said casually.
Tang Mei’s brow furrowed, knowing he wasn’t telling the truth, but she still thanked him first, “Regardless of the reason, I really owe you one this time. Thank you for helping me inform President Mei to come and save me.”
“It’s nothing,” Liu Yue shrugged, “But remember what I said earlier. When you receive kindness from me, remember to repay it.”
Tang Mei thought of what he had said earlier and followed up a few steps, “What do you want?”
Liu Yue glanced at Jiang He imperceptibly and smiled, “No need to rush to repay this favor. But in the future, if there’s a chance, Secretary Tang, don’t forget that 1 saved your life today.”
Jiang He, unaware of the twists and turns, interjected with a smile, “Yeah, you can’t underestimate the debt of saving a life, Secretary Tang. You’ve truly incurred a big favor, but for now, let’s go to the police station. President Mei is waiting for you at the hospital. I can see you’re injured too, so we can deal with your wounds at the hospital later.”
The hair on the back of Tang Mei’s head was already stuck together by the blood, looking very terrifying..
