Chapter 460: with translation of chapter title

"Zheng Canghai's daughter?"

Correct.

"Not seeing."

Lin Dongfan and Zheng Qingxuan had never met; his knowledge of her was very limited.

He only knew she wasn't very bright.

Initially, even driving a Ferrari in the city, she couldn't catch up to a Wuling Hongguang; after being led to a fishing village, she ran over a chicken and was helpless; her escape relied entirely on Xie Xiaofeng letting her win.

Based on the known information, she is nothing but a decorative vase—pretty but useless.

Now this vase is clinging to his company and refuses to leave.

She insists on meeting.

Lin Dongfan felt she was probably being used as a tool by her shameless father, just as Si Tu Wang Yun gave Diaochan to the old villain Dong Zhuo with ill intent.

Little Master isn't Dong Zhuo the old villain; trying to seduce Little Master? No way!

Lin Dongfan decisively ordered Lao Ba: "Tell Yu Youwei to have security drive her out. By the way, tell her that here, the beauty trap doesn't work on Little Master."

"Lord Fan's aura is imposing!"

Lao Ba grinned, casually closed the interrogation room door, turned and went to return the call.

Lin Dongfan returned to his seat and continued questioning Madame Huang: "Just now you said Zheng Canghai used 200,000 to bribe your son Huang Hai, telling him to kill someone, right?"

Madame Huang's emotions flared up again: "My son was tricked by Zheng Canghai; he didn't want to kill anyone…"

"You only need to answer me: yes or no." Lin Dongfan stared at Madame Huang without looking away.

That sharp gaze seemed to have a natural deterrent effect on someone like Madame Huang, an old woman who had never seen the world; she lowered her head timidly: "Yes."

Probably she was unwilling.

She suddenly raised her head and argued: "My son really was tricked by Zheng Canghai; the one who deserves to die is Zheng Canghai, it has nothing to do with my son."

"Hmm, your whole family are good people; the fault lies with others."

Although Lin Dongfan had received professional training, he still couldn't resist making a sarcastic remark.

Madame Huang actually took the sarcasm as praise, her face showing pride: "This time you're right; the worst are those rich people, not a single good one among them! Unlike us, we're all honest folk."

Seeing Lin Dongfan frown speechlessly.

Madame Huang then belatedly realized, Lin Dongfan is also a wealthy big boss, so she quickly waved her hands and explained: "Boss Fan, I wasn't talking about you, I was talking about Zheng Canghai."

"It's fine; you have the freedom to retort."

Lin Dongfan realized he was also pretty sick, wasting time arguing with this vicious old woman about nonsense.

Lin Dongfan stood up and ordered Chen Shaokang: "Have someone dig out the money she buried in the courtyard; don't shortchange her, be generous and give her a pair of silver bracelets."

"Hmm."

Chen Shaokang was about to pull out the handcuffs to criminally detain Madame Huang on charges of harboring and abetting.

Madame Huang suddenly spoke up with conviction: "You think giving me a pair of silver bracelets will send me off? You really think this old lady lacks education and is easy to bully! You've confiscated a total of 200,000 from my family; a pair of silver bracelets is worth hardly anything! Boss Fan, you owe my family a big ship—just like the one you gave Chen Xiaoyu."

Hearing that, Lin Dongfan laughed; indeed, she's the kind of nasty mother-in-law who could drive a daughter-in-law to death—her worldview is nothing like ordinary people's.

He wouldn't say another word; saying more would be an insult to intelligence.

Lin Dongfan turned and walked away.

At that moment, Chen Shaokang pulled out the handcuffs and waved them in front of Madame Huang's eyes: "The silver bracelets we mentioned are these; there's no big ship, but prison meals will fill you up."

"What do you mean, you want to arrest me?"

Seeing Chen Shaokang nod and utter an "uh", Madame Huang instantly flared up with rage and jumped to her feet.

Pointing at Chen Shaokang's nose, she shouted: "Chen Shaokang! You heartless dog! You weren't even weaned when your mother stopped lactating; you cried hungry, and she brought you to my house to mooch milk! You forgot? You grew up drinking my milk, and now you want to arrest me? You ungrateful white-eyed wolf, watch out for lightning strike!"

Mooching milk as a child?

I had indeed heard my mother mention this before; if Madame Huang didn't bring it up today, Chen Shaokang would almost have forgotten it.

Chen Shaokang laughed: "Back then my mother had no milk; indeed she carried me to your house to mooch milk. But you didn't charge little—ten catties of fish for a bowl of milk. And it wasn't pure milk; you squeezed the milk into a bowl and mixed in half plain water. My mother just didn't want to expose you; after all, we were the ones seeking your help."

"Well... then what!" Madame Huang still kept her fervent tone: "Milk mixed with plain water is still milk! Without my milk, could you have grown this big?"

"That's a trade; we gave you fish, we owe you nothing." Chen Shaokang said.

Madame Huang flew into a rage: "Who says that's a trade? Who have you seen selling milk?! You ungrateful wretch, just watch me not beat you to death today!" She lunged forward to grab Chen Shaokang's ears.

Lunging forward was just right.

Chen Shaokang casually seized her arm, cuffed her behind her back, and subdued her on the spot.

"White-eyed wolf! On what grounds do you arrest me? Let me go! Hey, somebody, the police are beating people! Hey, somebody..." The shrew's thirty-six deadly moves; the ultimate finisher is crying, causing a scene, and seeking death.

She had perfected this move.

Back then her husband Huang Dongzhi couldn't stand her unreasonable torment, so he hung her from the fishing boat's mast and whipped her badly with a hemp rope.

Later she started poisoning the fish porridge.

Huang Dongzhi tasted that the porridge's flavor was off, so he quickly stuck his finger down his throat to induce vomiting.

Although he wasn't poisoned to death then, it left a lingering illness, and he didn't live many more years before dying. If Huang Dongzhi hadn't died early, Madame Huang would likely have borne a large litter of 'filial sons', starting at seven or eight.

Back then even her husband didn't indulge her, let alone Chen Shaokang.

After Chen Shaokang cuffed her hands behind her back, he sternly warned her: "You are suspected of harboring and abetting; I am detaining you according to law! If you want a longer sentence, just keep causing trouble!"

"What have I harbored?" Madame Huang flushed and shouted: "I'm just hiding my own family's money; what business is it of yours? Who says I can't hide my own family's money!"

"That's your family's money? That's illicit gains!" Chen Shaokang angrily shouted: "Besides, your son killed someone; we've repeatedly come to you to understand the situation, yet knowing the facts you refused to cooperate with our investigation and helped him cover up his murderous record! That's harboring a criminal suspect—do you understand?"

"Oh heavens, open your eyes." Madame Huang plopped onto the ground, wailing and tearing up: "These beasts rely on their power to bully people, they're bullying this old lady—how am I supposed to live…"

!!!

Chen Shaokang felt his scalp about to burst; after all these years on the police force, he'd never encountered such an utterly shameless old woman—turns out this is exactly the legendary situation of a scholar meeting soldiers, where reason can't be made clear.

After going out.

Seeing Lin Dongfan with a cigarette dangling from his mouth, leaning against the wall and smiling, Chen Shaokang again gloomily furrowed his brows: "Director Lin, is this funny?"

"You try to reason with a scoundrel—if you don't break down, who will?" Lin Dongfan laughed: "For an old lady like her, lock her up for a few days and she'll behave."

"Not sending her to the detention center?" Chen Shaokang asked.

Lin Dongfan replied without hesitation: "For now, detain her in a hotel; before she testifies in court, we must definitely eradicate her legal ignorance."
