Chapter 487 How could someone be so muddle-headed?
"What?" Lin Manqing's expression changed, and she said incredulously, "Yinyin, are you joking with Mom? How could your Uncle Jinpeng..."

"How could it not be?" Fu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but scold her, "Just because you trusted that so-called best friend of thirty years, she almost got your daughter into trouble!"

"I..." Lin Manqing frowned deeply, her heart filled with unease, and asked in a trembling voice, "What...what exactly happened?"

“What happened last night on the phone is what I told you,” Jiang Yuan said calmly. “Your best friend of thirty years is going to ruin your daughter.”

Lin Manqing's face turned deathly pale, her eyes wide with horror as she looked anxiously at her daughter: "Yinyin, is this real? You must be joking with me, right?"

Ma Yinyin frowned. She only now realized that Jiang Yuan had told her mother about this yesterday, but her mother didn't believe her.

"I'm not joking," she said seriously. "Mom, what Sister Jiang Yuan said is true. Yesterday, Luo Shuxian deliberately got you to drink, and Yue Jinpeng drugged Dad. After that..."

Hearing her daughter's words, Lin Manqing's eyes instantly reddened. She quickly got out of bed, held her daughter's hand with heartache, and choked out, "Yinyin, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, Mom almost hurt you."

Ma Yinyin pursed her lips, but couldn't bring herself to say "It's okay".

She paused for two seconds before speaking, "If it weren't for Sister Jiang Yuan's timely appearance, I might... I might not even be able to come see you now."

"Yinyin, I'm sorry..." Lin Manqing kept crying and saying sorry, "It's all Mom's fault, Mom was so stupid!"

"Mom, don't cry." Ma Yinyin was also very upset. "I'll go see if Dad has woken up yet."

“I’ll go with you,” Lin Manqing said quickly.

The group went to the next ward to find Ma Jingwen.

His hospital bed was raised halfway up, and he was half-lying down with his eyes closed, resting.

"Dad," Ma Yinyin called softly.

"Jingwen." Lin Manqing rushed to the bedside, looking at him with tears in her eyes, "Jingwen, I'm sorry, I'm sorry Yinyin, I was wrong."

Ma Jingwen opened his eyes and looked at his wife, raising his hand to touch her hair. He then turned to look at his daughter, a look of worry immediately appearing on his face. "Yinyin, how are you?"

"Dad," Ma Yinyin said softly as she came to the bedside, "I wasn't hurt. Sister Jiang Yuan saved me in time. If it weren't for her, I might..."

She didn't finish her sentence, but Ma Jingwen understood what she meant.

He turned his head to look at the others, his gaze landing on Jiang Yuan, "Anchor Jiang."

He got out of bed, walked up to Jiang Yuan, and bowed deeply. "Anchor Jiang, thank you for saving Yinyin. Our Ma family will forever remember your great kindness."

Seeing this, Jiang Yuan reached out and helped him up, saying slowly, "No need to be polite, this is fate between Yinyin and me."

Ma Yinyin spoke up at the right moment: "Dad, I've already told Sister Jiang Yuan. She saved me and is like a second parent to me. I will treat her with the same respect I would show to you and Mom."

Jiang Yuan: "..."

Ma Jingwen nodded emphatically, "That's right, Yinyin, you're right. Anchor Jiang saved you, so you should repay her kindness."

Lin Manqing felt a sudden pang of sadness as she watched this scene, and clenched her hands tightly at her sides.

Fu Xiaoxiao looked at her and couldn't help but whisper in Xixi's ear, "Yinyin's dad thanked Yuanyuan right away, but her mom just stood there in a daze."

“Yes,” Xixi replied in a low voice, “Her mother seems quite smart, how could she be so muddle-headed?”

Although the two spoke very softly, Ma Yinyin still heard them.

She looked up at Lin Manqing and suddenly felt a little disappointed.

The observation room fell silent. Chen Ziqi then spoke up, "Mr. Ma, Mrs. Ma, if you are both alright, please go to the police station together to give your statements later."

“Okay.” Ma Jingwen looked at Chen Ziqi. “Are you the criminal police officer from Yunjing that Anchor Jiang mentioned?”

Chen Ziqi nodded slightly: "Yes, my name is Chen Ziqi."

"Hello, Officer Chen."

"Hello, Mr. Ma." Fu Xiaoxiao blinked and glanced at Chen Ziqi out of the corner of her eye.

Officer Chen, that sounds pretty cool.

**
Longchuan Police Station.

As soon as Jiang Yuan and his group appeared, Xiao Shen came up to them and said, "Advisor Jiang, Officer Chen, those people are really tight-lipped. They still refuse to admit their crimes."

Upon hearing Xiao Shen's address to Jiang Yuan, both Ma Jingwen and his wife showed expressions of surprise.

Why is the police officer here called Jiang Yuan, the consultant? Isn't she a live streamer?

After hearing Xiao Shen's words, Chen Ziqi frowned and turned to ask Jiang Yuan, "Shall we go?"

If they can't even detect something this simple, isn't there something fishy going on?

Jiang Yuan nodded: "Okay."

Xi Xi watched Jiang Yuan and Chen Ziqi walk towards the interrogation room, her face filled with shock. "Teacher Jiang is so amazing, she can even help the police interrogate criminals?"

“Yes.” Fu Xiaoxiao raised her chin, like a proud peacock, “Yuan Yuan is amazing!”

"That's amazing!" Xixi exclaimed in admiration.

Xiao Shen poured them tea and said with a smile, "Please have a seat and wait a moment."

"It's okay, it's not hard work." Fu Xiaoxiao waved her hand. "We'll play by ourselves."

Half an hour later, Jiang Yuan and Chen Ziqi came out of the interrogation room and entered another interrogation room.

Ma Jingwen and Lin Manqing had finished giving their statements and were sitting together in the rest area.

The latter looked very upset, probably because she never expected that her trusted best friend would try to harm her daughter.

Seeing this, Ma Yinyin asked in a low voice, "Mom, are you alright?"

"I'm fine." Lin Manqing shook her head, forcing a smile that looked more like a grimace. "Yinyin."

Ma Yinyin blinked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

"Yinyin," Lin Manqing's voice trembled with tears again, "Do...do you hate your mother?"

Upon hearing this, Ma Yinyin paused for a few seconds, then shook her head: "I don't hate you."

"So...do you blame your mother?"

"I don't blame my mother."

Upon hearing her daughter's answer, Lin Manqing felt a pang of sorrow in her heart, her shoulders trembled slightly, and then she began to shake violently, unable to hold back her sobs and tears as she covered her face.

Ma Jingwen looked at his wife, his heart filled with helplessness.

In the past, whenever Lin Manqing was sad or upset, he would try his best to comfort her and cheer her up.

But this time, he didn't do that.

Fu Xiaoxiao looked at Ma Yinyin and couldn't help but say, "Yinyin, your luckiest thing is that you have a sensible father."

If Ma Jingwen hadn't been willing to believe Jiang Yuan and provide the villa's detailed address in time, no matter how hard everyone tried, it might have been in vain, and the tragedy would still have happened.

"Yes." Ma Yinyin nodded vigorously. "I am also very grateful to my father."

Ma Jingwen met his daughter's gaze and a gentle smile appeared on his lips: "No need to thank me. I didn't actually do anything. I was too careless. I was drugged by Yue Jinpeng and couldn't even protect you, leaving you all alone and scared."

He let out a long sigh, looked at Fu Xiaoxiao and Xixi, and said solemnly, "We should thank Anchor Jiang and her friends."
