Chapter 369: Chapter 369: Vegetable Buns_1

"You do make some sense,"

Ding Se frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment, then spoke, "But if we let you go, what will you tell your family when you return? You were out all night last night."

"That’s easy, I’ll say I was out playing mahjong with friends all night."

Hearing that there was a chance she could be released, Yang Meifeng wasn’t about to let the opportunity slip by, "I often play mahjong out, and both my husband and my daughter know that..."

"Heh."

Ding Se scrutinized Yang Meifeng from head to toe, then suddenly snickered and said, "Yang Meifeng, do you think you’re the fool, or are you taking others for fools?"

"Look at yourself, do you look like someone who played mahjong all night?"

Indeed, at that moment, Yang Meifeng’s hair was disheveled, her eyes puffy, and her whole body ached and felt weak. Anyone could tell that she had been roughed up inside; no one would believe she had spent the night playing mahjong.

Yang Meifeng stammered, unable to speak for a while, when Ding Se pulled out his mobile phone from his pocket and opened a video clip.

"What do you think this is?"

Following Ding Se’s action, Yang Meifeng looked up to see the video showing six or seven uniformed police officers, guns at the ready, escorting a person with a hood over their head into a police car.

"This... is this me? How did I end up in a video?"

She stuttered, her eyes filled with dismay.

Just yesterday afternoon, she had been sitting cross-legged in the bank manager’s office, cracking sunflower seeds, gnawing on duck necks, browsing short videos, and showing off in the chat groups, eliciting envy from her friends.

Now, to her dismay, she had become a prisoner, not only being beaten up but also filmed while being taken away. If Liu Chunling knew about this, she’d be the laughing stock.

"Of course, it’s you. Many people at the scene recognized you as Yang Meifeng!"

Ding Se continued impassively, "If you go back and say you were playing mahjong, what will you say when your daughter asks you who you played with? Where? And until what time?"

"Yang Meifeng, you should know that one lie requires a thousand more to maintain."

"So what should I do?"

Yang Meifeng became anxious, "You won’t let me tell the truth, and now I can’t lie either; I can’t just play dumb and not respond at all, can I?"

"Ahem."

Ding Se coughed lightly, realizing he had perhaps gone a bit too far with his act, his tone changed as he spoke, "Actually, you could take a different approach."

"You could truthfully tell your family that you came here, but were not taken forcibly; instead, you were invited for an inquiry."

Inquiry?

Yang Meifeng looked unconvinced.

An inquiry that involves being blindfolded and handcuffed to be taken to a police car?

As if hearing the voice in Yang Meifeng’s head, Ding Se explained, "Just tell your family, you were involved in a telecommunication fraud case, and we police officers covered your head to protect your safety while bringing you back."

"As for not returning home all night, you were assisting in our police investigation."

Yang Meifeng nodded repeatedly, impressed by Ding Se’s eloquence. His words were part truth, part lie—her husband and daughter would never notice a thing.

"Sir, I’ll follow your advice. When I get back, I’ll say I was implicated in a telecommunication fraud case at the bank, and you, the police, protected me by hooding me and putting me in the police car. I also stayed all night to assist with the investigation."

"Hmm."

Ding Se nodded, rearranged some documents, and said calmly, "Alright, let’s leave it at that for now. You want to go back to your cell, I’ll go discuss with Chen Se to see if it’s possible to release you."

"What? There’s still a discussion needed?"

Yang Meifeng said with a bitter face, "Sir, can’t you make the decision to release me?"

"Sorry, Chen Se is the primary officer on this case."

Ding Se shrugged his shoulders, replying, "I’ve done what I could; now you should head back to the detention room and wait for news. If all goes well, the paperwork can be finalized today."

"Okay, okay!"

Upon hearing that there was hope of leaving that day, Yang Meifeng dared not refuse.

Gurgle...

Just then, her stomach suddenly growled.

She hadn’t eaten a single bite since noon the previous day, her stomach was rumbling fiercely.

"Sir, could you please get me something to eat?" Yang Meifeng asked boldly.

Ding Se gestured expansively, "Of course, what would you like to eat?"

Gurgle...

Swallowing, Yang Meifeng counted off on her fingers, "I want a cheese chicken panini, plus a hash brown, then another wrap or a century egg and lean pork porridge. I’ll drink soy milk or coffee; I’m not picky..."

"Yang Meifeng, you are really pushing your luck now, aren’t you?"

Ding Se’s expression darkened, his tone displeased, "Where do you think you are? Chicken panini and hash browns?"

"None of that’s available. Later, I’ll have someone prepare two vegetable buns for you!"

With that, he turned and left.

Soon after, two Sirs entered the room, escorting Yang Meifeng back to the detention room once again.

On the way back, Yang Meifeng sighed incessantly. If she hadn’t gotten carried away with her fantasy a moment ago, she might already be out enjoying her panini and casually sipping soy milk while browsing through videos.

"Yang Meifeng, back to your room, here are the vegetable buns Ding Se told me to give you."

While she was lost in thought, she suddenly heard the female instructor’s voice. Before she could react, the instructor pushed her inside, holding two steaming vegetable buns...
