Chapter 456: A good show

Ma Lan never dreamed that after more than 20 years, she would be beaten up like this because of Han Meiqing's matter back then.

She had originally thought she was about to persuade Zhang Guifen, but she didn't expect that after Old Mrs. Xiao brought up this matter, it directly overturned all her efforts and instead made her fall into an endless abyss.

Several women who came up to beat her had all experienced the tragic past of being interfered with by a third party, so when they beat her, they brought all their new hatred and old grudges into it, and they didn't hold back at all.

Ma Lan was soon beaten until she was covered in bruises, and she was almost on the verge of death. Several times Ma Lan felt she was about to go into shock, but before she could truly go into shock, she was woken up by others.

After a group of people finished beating Ma Lan, Old Mrs. Xiao said from the side, "I think we should take this bitch to the toilet, so she doesn't make us feel annoyed looking at her here!"

"Right!" the woman who moved first said coldly, "The old lady is right, throw her into the toilet!"

As she spoke, she greeted another woman beside her and said, "Let's each take one leg and drag her in directly."

"Okay!" The other party nodded immediately, so the two grabbed one of Ma Lan's legs and dragged her from the ground all the way to the toilet.

Xiao Weiwei also hurriedly followed. Seeing the two throw Ma Lan into the toilet, she took a washbasin, filled it with water, and splashed it directly on her, sneering, "Ma Lan, you never dreamed you would have today, right? Just based on you, you still want to fight with Grandma?"

Ma Lan was splashed awake by this basin of cold water. While trembling violently, she felt endless regret in her heart.

She shouldn't have said those things in front of Zhang Guifen, trying to arouse Zhang Guifen's sympathy.

If she hadn't accused Old Mrs. Xiao of those things just now, she wouldn't have ended up in such a situation.

What she regretted even more was that she shouldn't have stolen her son-in-law Ye Chen's bank card. She never dreamed that Ye Chen was actually a cross-border big swindler!

If she hadn't stolen his bank card, then the person who would eventually come in to suffer this bitterness would be him, but because she couldn't control her own hands, she was now here, suffering this inhuman torture.

Her intestines were already green with regret.

This night, Ma Lan hugged her legs and sat in the corner of the toilet, struggling until dawn.

At night, Ma Lan had already developed a high fever, making her whole person dizzy.

More importantly, she hadn't eaten anything for nearly 48 hours!

In the morning, when everyone started to enter the toilet to wash up, Ma Lan was already so weak that she didn't even have the strength to lift her eyelids.

Someone in the cell went to get breakfast for the entire cell. Breakfast was the unchanging rice porridge with steamed buns.

When Zhang Guifen and others were eating, they found that Ma Lan didn't come out, so she ordered someone, "Go in and see if that bitch is dead. If not dead, drag her out."

So that person came to the toilet, took a look at Ma Lan, found Ma Lan was curled up in the corner shivering, walked up, grabbed her hair, and dragged her out from inside.

When Ma Lan came out, Zhang Guifen had already started eating her box of rice.

Like yesterday morning, Zhang Guifen finished the steamed bun, deliberately left about one-third of the porridge, then looked at Ma Lan, and said playfully, "You haven't eaten for two days and two nights, you must be hungry, right?"

Ma Lan nodded repeatedly in a daze and said, "Sister Guifen, please let me eat something, otherwise I might really die..."

Zhang Guifen sneered, poured all the porridge in the bowl on the ground, then pointed with her toe, and sneered, "Want to eat? Then lie on the ground and lick it!"

Yesterday, when Zhang Guifen asked Ma Lan to lick the porridge on the ground, Ma Lan was ten thousand times unwilling.

Because she felt that no matter what, she couldn't do such a low-class thing just for a bite to eat.

But now, she couldn't care about that anymore. What low-class or not, as long as she could fill her stomach, or even just pad it, what did it matter if she knelt on the ground and licked it?

So she knelt down immediately, lay on the ground without hesitation, and licked the cold porridge on the cement floor with her tongue.

Old Mrs. Xiao felt so good seeing this scene.

Thinking that Ma Lan might stay inside for ten or twenty years or even longer in the future, her heart was even more excited.

Ma Lan licked the porridge on the ground clean, even eating a lot of sand and soil in her mouth, but she couldn't care about these at this time.

Just at this time, the prison guard opened the cell door, looked at Ma Lan in the room, and said coldly, "Ma Lan, come out, the police station wants to interrogate you!"

Those who are detained in the detention center and have not been sentenced are collectively referred to as suspects. Suspects are often taken back to the police station by police officers for interrogation, which is also a normal process.

When Ma Lan heard that she was to be interrogated, she didn't doubt it. She immediately climbed up with difficulty, rushed to the door crying, looked at the prison guard, and begged, "Please, take me away quickly."

She didn't know that this interrogation was just a good show arranged for her by her son-in-law Ye Chen!

Seeing her miserable appearance, covered in injuries, and even two front teeth missing, the prison guard couldn't help but be secretly surprised.

Immediately, she said to Ma Lan, "Come out quickly, the police officer coming to pick you up is still waiting!"

These two police officers were the two who sent Ma Lan over two days ago.

After less than 48 hours, Ma Lan had already become unrecognizable, which made them a bit dumbfounded.

However, they also knew that someone had already greeted them not to ask about Ma Lan's affairs, so they pretended not to see and said directly to Ma Lan, "Let's go, our car is waiting outside."

After finishing, the person walked to Ma Lan with handcuffs and handcuffed her hands together.

Ma Lan followed them out, feeling a bit nervous, and asked, "Police officer, I was really wronged. Does your case have any progress? When can you clear my injustice and let me go home!"

After finishing, Ma Lan couldn't hold back her emotions and started crying loudly.

The police officer said, "What you are involved in now is a cross-border fraud case. This is the largest cross-border fraud case recorded in the world, and as the first suspect we have grasped now, you are the key breakthrough for us to solve the case and make arrests."

As he spoke, the police officer added, "If you are sensible, you had better confess all your accomplices. This will help us solve the case and also help you make a contribution, striving for lenient treatment!"

Ma Lan cried out, trembling, "Police officer. Please believe me, I am willing to swear on my life that I really know nothing about this matter. The person you want to catch is my son-in-law. I can take you to catch him. You can interrogate him as much as you want, or even shoot him, that's fine, but you cannot wrong a good person!"
