Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life

Chapter 1171 - 1160: When the Daughter Is the Supporting Role and the Younger Sister Is the Heroine

"She promised that after the deed was done, she would contact the best doctors to perform surgery on my daughter and arrange her future life properly." The truck driver looked ashen, and since he had started speaking, he decided to tell everything without leaving a word out.

Then he said with hope, "If I confess honestly now, can my sentence be lighter?"

The policeman nodded, "If you are truthful and provide evidence, we will plead for leniency with the judge."

"I have evidence." The truck driver finally uttered those four words, and Ye Yun’s eyes turned red.

"Although she approached me directly and we have no call records, she mentioned her stepdaughter uses this road every day, but I didn’t catch it clearly at the time. I haven’t had much education and speak with a hometown accent, so I always said Meiqing Road instead of Meixing Road. She wrote those words down for me. That note is in my wallet now."

"Sister, don’t listen to his nonsense. My mom couldn’t possibly harm you. She wouldn’t dare. He’s doing it on purpose, deliberately framing mom," Ye Yun said emotionally to Ye Qiu.

Ye Qiu looked unbelieving, as if hurt, "Little sister, I don’t believe it either, so let’s wait for the police to verify the handwriting."

The policeman, having finished questioning, approached Ye Qiu, "Do you still want to see your stepmother?"

Ye Qiu took a deep breath, "Yes, I want to watch you interrogate her. I want to know if she really instructed someone to harm me and why."

"I want to go too," Ye Yun hurriedly said.

The policeman glanced at her, not opposing, "Alright, then please both of you, Miss Ye, wait here."

Soon, the truck driver was taken out, and Mei Chunli was brought in. After being alone for a while to calm down, she appeared a little tired but otherwise composed.

"Go ahead and ask what you have to ask. My husband is still waiting for me at home." Mei Chunli, although born into poverty and later working as a junior caregiver, had entered the Ye Family twenty years ago timidly. However, now she had an air of wealth, speaking calmly, almost with a hint of threat.

But what hadn’t these policemen seen? Especially since the victim of this case was Ye Qiu, the head of the Ye Group, who had much more authority than Mei Chunli, who had remained a housewife after marrying into the Ye Family.

"Ms. Mei, we have evidence that suggests you’re the mastermind behind this case. Please confess why you wanted to harm your stepdaughter, Ms. Ye Qiu, and how everything unfolded," the policeman said sternly.

Mei Chunli’s eyes turned sharp as she sneered, "I don’t know what fake evidence you have to trick me with, but if I didn’t do it, I didn’t do it. No amount of interrogation will change that."

"Oh? Ms. Mei, do you really think you’ve committed the perfect crime? Ms. Li, who almost got implicated, already has evidence of her husband’s attempt to harm her, and there are call records between you and her husband. How do you explain that?"

"How should I know her husband wanted to harm her? I contacted that person because his parents run a tonic shop and I wanted some goods from them," Mei Chunli replied calmly, acting as though she wouldn’t be falsely accused.

"If you were buying goods from his parents, why didn’t you contact them directly? Or have your driver or housekeeper fetch them?"

"His parents are busy with business, and once they forgot about my goods, that’s when I contacted their son. As for why not send a driver or housekeeper, I don’t trust them with the best supplements for my husband," Mei Chunli justified herself logically.

"Are you done? When will I be released? My husband is still waiting for me at home. He can’t do without me," Mei Chunli said, frowning, her eyes sharp.

Outside the interrogation room, Ye Yun saw her mom like this for the first time and was a bit scared, feeling a sinking sensation in her heart. The more her mom acted like this, the more she suspected her mom did it.

She looked at Ye Qiu with anxiety, opened her mouth, then closed it again, not knowing what to say.

"Don’t worry, Ms. Mei, we have a few more questions," the policeman said calmly, looking her in the eye. "Well, since you deny colluding with another perpetrator, what about Mei Jian Country? He just now identified you personally as instructing him to use a car accident to harm your stepdaugher, Ye Qiu."

"Impossible, he’s lying," Mei Chunli yelled as it was apparent she was a bit panicked upon hearing about Mei Jian Country’s confession.

"You must be trying to trick me. Coercing a confession this way has no legal effect. I want my lawyer," she said, clenching her fists and pressing her lips tightly.

Ye Yun, after all, was Mei Chunli’s biological daughter, having lived two lives with her, how could she not know her mom was panicking?

Her face turned pale instantly because she knew it was very likely her mom was involved in the case of her sister nearly being harmed.

"Ms. Mei, when Mei Jian Country identified you, he provided evidence. Didn’t you write him a note? The note detailed the road your stepdaughter used daily. Just comparing the handwriting, we can determine whether you’re behind this," the policeman said calmly.

Mei Chunli’s eyes widened as she suddenly recalled the evidence, wondering how she forgot about that note?

However, having married into the Ye Family for so many years wasn’t for nothing; she still forced herself to remain calm, "Yes, I did write that note because he needed to take that road that day to transport goods. So, I mentioned it in passing. What’s that got to do with his accusation? He must be instructed by someone to wrong me."

"So many coincidences and a personal identification; Ms. Mei, are you still going to deny it? But even if you deny it, with all the corroborating evidence, we won’t let you go. You can hire a lawyer, and wait for the judge’s decision. I advise you to confess honestly, you might still get a lighter sentence," the policeman persuaded her.

But Mei Chunli only thought, if she really confessed, what would happen to her daughter? Would her husband and stepmother forgive her?

If she firmly denied, perhaps there was still a sliver of hope, her husband would definitely hire the best lawyer for her, she might not be sentenced.

So she said with a somewhat grim expression, "Why should I admit to something I didn’t do? I want to contact my daughter and husband, I want to apply for parole."

The policeman smiled slightly, "I’m sorry, Ms. Mei, in your situation, you cannot apply for parole. We will arrest and detain you according to the law. Your daughter is just outside, she can hire a lawyer for you."

When Mei Chunli came out wearing handcuffs, she saw her daughter, Ye Yun, and stepdaughter, Ye Qiu, coming out from the next room. Having watched so many dramas, she instantly realized they had been observing her interrogation, and her face turned pale.
