I'm only five years old, how come I've become the military region's darling?

Su Mei looked at the man in front of her, dressed in a crisp Lenin suit, carrying a briefcase, sitting opposite her with a refined and scholarly air.

"Comrade Su Mei, let me introduce myself as Zhao Hongfei. I'm from the Tanshui City Health Bureau. We have some questions about Comrade Fu Chen's previous surgical error."

Fu Chen's surgical mistake? Su Mei's lips were tightly pursed, and she looked at the other person with a hint of wariness in her eyes. She didn't know what kind of person this was.

However, a man probably wouldn't dare to do anything inside a police station, since the door is open and there are police officers present.

The man took out a stack of documents and started talking about the time, place, and procedure of the surgery, while pushing a slip of paper in front of her.

Koh Samui: ?

The man smiled and gestured for her to look. Su Mei looked at the words on it suspiciously. She recognized Fu Chen's handwriting at a glance. What message did he want this person to deliver?

Su Mei's gaze fell on the note. As she read what was written on it, her face flushed red, and her lips trembled. She stared incredulously at the man opposite her, a simmering fire burning within her.

"What do you mean?"

The man paused for a moment, then said, "Comrade Su Mei, I think you're a smart person and should be willing to cooperate with us."

Su Mei gripped the table tightly with her fingers, her face pale. Her mouth opened and closed repeatedly, as if she were drowning.

The man opposite seemed not to have seen anything and continued talking.

The police officers outside kept glancing in. Su Mei saw Xing Yong, and behind him was a woman with tears in her eyes being supported by someone. This must be the woman whose child was murdered, right? A look of guilt flashed across Su Mei's face.

Just then, their eyes met those of Xiaochun, who was looking in from behind.

The little guy's eyes were full of indifference and disgust.

Yes, it was disgusting. Su Mei felt suffocated. Why were these two people, who were her closest to her, treating her like this?

The woman's sobbing gradually reached Su Mei's ears. Su Mei instinctively wanted to ignore it, but it was still very clear to her.

"Captain Xing, I just want to know why that human trafficker killed my daughter!"

Xing Yong gestured to the police to open the door to the interrogation room next door.

The voices of the police interrogation could be heard through the air: "Besides Yu Honghong, who else is in that jar in your house?"

"Officer, I told you I don't know, I can't remember."

A human trafficker like Aunt Mei knew her fate well; if caught, she would only face death. Confess? Confess what? She didn't want to, and was even less willing to, confess.

The veins on the interrogating police officer's neck bulged. "Li Mei, I advise you to cooperate with us honestly and confess about the children you've abducted and killed over the years. Tell me why you killed Yu Honghong!"

Aunt Mei scoffed lightly, "Officers, we have our rules in this line of work. If someone abducts another, they abduct; if they didn't, they didn't. I didn't abduct Yu Honghong. I took her in because I felt sorry for her."

"Don't you believe me? I found that child. It's a pity he couldn't be saved." Li Mei's voice even carried a hint of melancholy. "I actually quite liked that child."

Everyone was stunned, even Honghong's mother.

She suddenly pushed open the door, her eyes bloodshot. "Didn't you kidnap my Honghong?"

Li Mei was clearly stunned as she stared at the woman in the doorway. "Are you Honghong's mother?"

The woman gripped the table tightly with both hands. "You didn't abduct Honghong, nor did you kill her?"

A tense atmosphere filled the air. Li Mei shrugged. "I didn't kill her."

"What exactly happened?"

Li Mei bit her lower lip and sighed. "That day I was planning to kidnap a child. I went to that village to stake out the place. At night, I saw a man carrying a little girl up the mountain. I thought he was one of us. But I didn't expect to see the man throw the child into a ravine after he got up the mountain. It was a stormy day with thunder and lightning. I saw that the little girl was barely breathing. I didn't intend to help her at first, but when I heard her crying, I thought that maybe I could sell her if I picked her up, so I took her home."

At this point, Li Mei's tone suddenly changed. "When I brought her home, she had a high fever. I gave her medicine, and then I found out... well, what bad luck. A girl who has been defiled, who would I sell her to? I was thinking of throwing her away, but I didn't expect this girl to be so lucky and beg me to keep her."

"I thought she was hardworking and knew how to get things done, so I just treated her like another little pet. I never expected that she would try to help the child I kidnapped escape. I saw her run into her own father and drown in the river."

Li Mei's voice was sarcastic, "Speaking of which, this child should blame her own father."

Honghong's mother's legs gave way and she collapsed. "So, so that's how that beast got his money?"

The woman coughed up a mouthful of blood. "I'm going to kill him! I'm going to kill him!"

The revelation of the truth was like removing the mask of a demon, and everyone inside and outside the interrogation room fell silent.

The hallway outside was noisy, and Su Mei could hear it all clearly. She saw the woman being carried away. If her own father could do such a beastly thing, then what about the child in her belly?

She was reborn, but Fu Chen wasn't! So, would Fu Chen still love this child?

Su Mei felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave.

"Comrade Su Mei, so have you made up your mind?"

Su Mei's face turned pale as she thought about the conditions on the note she had just received.

Let her confess to her crimes alone, admit that she threatened Fu Chen before, and admit that the child she had was conceived through her affair. In this way, Fu Chen and the people behind him will do their best to help her find a good labor camp, and then get her out in two years.

Her eyes were full of confusion. Fu Chen had cut off his own life and lost his job in order to get rid of her. This was not what she wanted. But she felt resentful that she had to bear the consequences alone. It was clearly a matter between the two of them. Why was she the only one left to bear the consequences?

What about all those sweet words they once shared?

Su Mei stood up straight. "If you want me to do it, let Fu Chen tell you himself."

The man smiled and said, "Since Comrade Su insists, I won't say anything more."

As Su Mei watched the man leave, she suddenly looked at Ruan Xiaochun at the door and asked, "Are you feeling quite smug?"

Xiaochun looked at Su Mei speechlessly. How come she hadn't noticed Su Mei's personality in her past life?

"The fact that you're sitting here and things have turned out this way is never Xiaochun's fault, nor is it your father's fault; it's your own fault."

The door slammed shut, and Su Mei's tears fell. Why were they all treating her like this? The more they treated her this way, the more she wanted to prove herself right.
