Chen Mo made a phone call, and within half an hour, an ambulance and a police car arrived one after the other.

Liu Meiling, who was unconscious, was taken away by ambulance.

After arriving at the scene, the police quickly apprehended Liu Zhiyuan and searched the house for evidence.

When the local police found the package of "tea" that had been smuggled back from Africa, they were initially unsure whether it was truly the culprit that caused Liu Meiling's loss of consciousness.

Liu Zhiyuan kept his mouth shut. No matter how he was interrogated, he insisted that the packet of tea was just ordinary local tea and there was absolutely no problem with it.

Chen Mo thought for a moment, then immediately picked up his phone and called the driver who had driven him that day.

"Come here for a second, I need to authenticate something!"

Before the call was even ended, the driver, who was waiting in a jeep on the roadside not far away, quickly rushed over.

"Brother, what's going on?" The driver stood to the side, hands on his hips, watching the commotion.

What intrigued Lan Yujuan was that the other person ran over quickly and even climbed a long slope, yet his breathing remained steady and he wasn't even out of breath.

Their physical strength and lung capacity are truly terrifying.

Chen Mo stood calmly to the side and asked in a composed manner:

"I heard that you spent two years in a peacekeeping mission in Africa and have extensive knowledge of medical and toxicological matters there?"

The driver smiled and nodded, his dark skin making his two rows of white teeth stand out. "Hmm, I know a little."

After listening, Chen Mo immediately pointed to a packet of "tea" that was troubling the local police not far away and instructed them:

"Could you go over and take a look? Is it just ordinary tea leaves, or something special?"

"Just tell them the truth."

The driver raised his hand to touch his neck, grinned, and said, "No problem at all!"

The driver went over and gave a brief greeting, then poured out some "tea leaves" and began to examine them.

Although the local police had limited experience, they were very well prepared.

Not only are there dry tea leaves and the tea leaves after brewing, but there is also a cup of freshly brewed tea on the side.

If they still can't detect it, a policeman nearby is already eager to "test the drug" himself.

Fortunately, the driver quickly gave an answer, frowning as he said:

"These are prohibited items; they couldn't possibly get through customs. Who brought them back?"

Upon hearing this, the police officers' eyes lit up instantly. "Could this stuff be poisonous?"

The driver chuckled, then took out his phone and did a quick search on the internal website, soon revealing the history of this "thing".

From the seeds, germination, maturity, and harvesting, to the processing techniques, and the "special effects" that come with it, everything is clearly recorded.

"Here's the information, take a look for yourselves!"

"If you don't believe me, you can apply for testing yourself later."

"Go ahead and arrest him! If he brought this stuff into the country, arresting him is perfectly justified. He'll be rewarded for his service!"

Upon hearing this, the police officers instantly became excited. "Hahaha, we can get credit for this?"

After saying that, he prepared to rush forward and subdue Liu Zhiyuan.

Unexpectedly, even on the verge of death, Liu Zhiyuan was still trying to argue his way out of trouble.

"Don't listen to him! He's in cahoots with my ex-wife; they're specifically targeting me!"

"I guarantee this is just ordinary tea leaves, definitely not some random junk!"

"Don't believe him!"

The police officer who had been holding Liu Zhiyuan down hesitated for a moment, fearing that he had arrested the wrong person.

However, at that crucial moment when they hesitated, the driver pulled out his ID from his pocket and flashed it:

"Don't worry about arresting me; I can take full responsibility for my words and actions!"

Seeing that Liu Zhiyuan was about to be arrested and taken away by the police car, the Liu clan chief led the able-bodied men of the clan to the scene in a grand procession.

"Stop! Stop right now!"

The old clan chief, panting heavily, strode closer, grabbing Liu Zhiyuan and trying to pull him behind him, while tears streamed down his face as he spoke to the police:

"Comrades, you must have made a mistake!"

"Zhiyuan has always been obedient and timid; he definitely wouldn't do anything shady!"

"He's the most promising college student in our Xiahe Village, there must be some misunderstanding!"

"Maybe someone is deliberately coming back to frame him?"

When the old clan chief said this, his gaze was fixed on Lan Yujuan.

However, this was not an isolated case. With the old clan chief taking the lead, the other men surnamed Liu who came with him also glared angrily at Lan Yujuan.

"Officers, don't be fooled!"

"That woman is the traitor from our Xiahe Village! The guy next to her is her lover!"

After one person spoke, many others immediately followed suit and echoed their sentiments.

"Exactly, they were having an affair, eloped after the New Year, and now they're suddenly back. Who knows what kind of bad thing they're up to?"

"When they eloped and ran away from Xiahe Village, the woman took all of Liu Zhiyuan's belongings with her!"

"Maybe they heard Liu Zhiyuan went abroad and guessed he must have made a lot of money, so they're thinking of bringing the kids back to make a killing!"

Many onlookers were initially skeptical.

Hearing someone in the crowd speaking so earnestly, they all believed it.

"Oh, no wonder you suddenly came back!"

"First, bring the child back to claim kinship, then find a way to send Liu Zhiyuan to jail. That way, the Liu family's assets will fall back into the hands of that mother and daughter! What a vicious scheme..."

Surrounded in the center, Lan Yujuan slowly turned her head to look at the faces in the crowd who were fabricating rumors about her.

She quickly noticed something was amiss!

The people who came with the old clan chief were not only members of the Liu clan, but most of the familiar faces were also people who worked in the clan chief's factory!

In other words, all these people who came along were working for the old clan chief's family, which explains why they were putting in such a great effort at a time like this!

"Don't be afraid, I'm here!" Chen Mo gently put his arm around her and whispered to comfort her.

"It's nothing, I can handle it." Lan Yujuan pulled her hand away from his grasp and patted Chen Mo instead.

Then, she took two steps forward, turned around, and calmly looked directly at the old clan chief, severing his hopes.

"Clan chief, don't waste your time! Liu Zhiyuan is not your son. His biological father is Liu Defu, and they both have type O blood."

The old patriarch of the Liu family was someone who valued profit very much!

If there weren't real interests involved, he would never have done something like this, leading people to fight against the police.

Unless, of course, the benefits he gains from doing this far outweigh the risks.

It's actually quite simple: Liu Zhigang and Liu Zhifang are both selfish and incompetent.

If the clan chief truly wanted to adopt a good son, he would prefer Liu Zhiyuan, who had attended university and seen the world.

But Liu Zhiyuan, who had long since left the village and settled down elsewhere, would not easily acknowledge him as his father.

Unless, of course, he runs into trouble and needs this "father" to lend a helping hand...
