Chapter 456

Ma Lan never dreamed that after 20-plus 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 made her fall into an endless abyss instead.

The few women who came up to beat her had all experienced the tragic past of being intervened 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 really go into shock, she was beaten awake by others again.

After the 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 rushed up to act first said coldly: "The old lady is right, throw her into the toilet!"

As she spoke, she greeted another woman beside her: "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 that the two threw 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 awakened by this basin of cold water, and while trembling violently, she regretted it endlessly 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 words 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 big international swindler!

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

Her intestines were already green with regret.

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

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

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

In the morning, when everyone else started going to 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 whole cell again. Breakfast was the unchanging rice porridge with steamed buns.

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

So that person came to the toilet, took a look at Ma Lan, and found that Ma Lan was curling up in the corner shivering, so she 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.

Just like yesterday morning, Zhang Guifen finished the steamed bun, deliberately left about one-third of the porridge, and then looked at Ma Lan, saying 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 onto 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 by lying on the ground 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 a little, what if she knelt on the ground and licked it?

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

Old Mrs. Xiao felt so refreshed seeing this scene.

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

Ma Lan licked the porridge on the ground clean, mouthful by mouthful, and even ate a lot of sand and soil in her mouth, but she couldn't care about these at all 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 going to be interrogated, she didn't doubt it, immediately crawled 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 who came to pick you up is still waiting!"

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

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

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

After speaking, the person took the handcuffs and walked to Ma Lan, handcuffing her hands together.

Ma Lan followed them out and asked somewhat nervously: "Police officer comrade, 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 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'd better confess all your accomplices. This can help us solve the case and also help you make a contribution, striving for lenient treatment!"

Ma Lan cried out and said tremblingly: "Police officer comrade. 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. If you have any questions, you can interrogate him, or even shoot him, it's no problem, but you can't wrong a good person!"
