Old Wang hesitated for a moment, as if she wanted to say something, but she swallowed her words. “I do have a way, but 1 can’t tell you. You need to have Wang Yue come to see me in person!”

“I mentioned this to her,” Mei Shu said, looking conflicted. “But she explicitly said she wouldn’t come to see you. It seems she’s determined to see you sentenced to death!”

The words “death penalty” immediately frightened Old Wang.

Although she didn’t understand the law, she knew the principle of an eye for an eye.

The police did say earlier that she was suspected of poisoning and attempted murder. Could it be that she was going to be executed, leaving her with no way out?

No!

She absolutely couldn’t die!

“Good child, help me, I beg you. I can give you anything you want!” Old Wang, who had lost her previous cruelty toward Mei Shu when they were in the countryside, now pleaded desperately.

With a head of graying hair, she appeared like an elderly person on the brink of decline, clinging desperately to her only lifeline. If it weren’t for the handcuffs restraining her, she would have knelt down, desperate for a chance at survival.

Mei Shu still looked apologetic. “Granny Wang, I’m truly sorry. I’m afraid I can’t help you this time. Auntie Wang warned me last night not to continue dealing with your affairs. Otherwise, she said I would have no place in the Mei family. You know my situation. I’m really helpless this time.”

After saying that, Mei Shu wiped away a tear, turned around without looking back, and was about to leave.

The handcuffs on the chair behind her jingled again.

Old Wang tried to stand up several times but was ultimately fixed in place. She could only anxiously stomp her feet and shout, “Don’t go! Mei Shu, don’t go yet. There must be a way. Wait a bit longer. Let me think!”

Mei Shu obediently halted her steps but didn’t turn around, only advising with regret in her voice, “Granny Wang, everyone has their own destiny. Maybe it’s destined that you can’t escape this calamity. You should accept your fate.”

“No! I won’t accept it!” Old Wang shook her head in panic. “There must be a way. I can’t die!”

She was about to enter a life of luxury in her old age. How could she willingly sacrifice her life for that b*tch Lin He?

“I, I have evidence against Wang Yue!” In her desperation, Old Wang finally said the words Mei Shu had been waiting for.

Mei Shu, pretending to be surprised, turned her head, looking at her with joy. “Is what you said true? Does this mean you really have a way to stop Auntie Wang from interfering?”

“Mei Shu.” Old Wang didn’t immediately answer her question. Instead, she fixed her gaze on her and said, “If Wang Yue doesn’t interfere, do you have confidence in finding evidence to clear my name?”

“I’m confident,” Mei Shu said, and to make sure Old Wang believed her, she explained her plan, “Although there are fingerprints on the bowl that match yours, there are also Lin He’s fingerprints. It can be proven that she drank the porridge herself. As long as Wang Yue doesn’t stop me, I can find a way to help you hire a lawyer. We can say that all of this was a plot by Lin He to frame you as revenge for Zhou Nan’s infidelity. In reality, you knew nothing about it!”

“Captain Wang, this…” The police officer outside couldn’t bear to listen any longer and was about to enter to take Mei Shu out.

But Captain Wang raised his hand to stop him, focusing intently on the screen. “Don’t act rashly. Let’s wait and see.”

After hearing Mei Shu’s words, hope indeed rose in Old Wang’s eyes. “Good, I’ll tell you about this. Tell Wang Yue exactly what I said. If she doesn’t believe you, go to my house, find a black old phone in the drawer of the nightstand in my room, and there you’ll find evidence against her!”

“Alright, tell me.” Mei Shu sat back down across from her, waiting for her to continue with a sincere expression.

Old Wang nervously swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, “You just tell her that if she wants me to bury that matter completely, she can’t stand idly by this time. Otherwise, once I’m sentenced, I will find an opportunity to reveal the evidence to the police. At that point, everything will be revealed, and no one will benefit!”

Mei Shu nodded and said, “Alright, I’ve got it. I’ll go tell her now.”

“Wait!” After Old Wang finished speaking those words, her whole body seemed to have been drained of strength, like a deflated balloon. Her vitality and spirit were noticeably diminished, revealing signs of fatigue.

“Is there anything else to tell her?” Mei Shu showed a cute smiling face, but underneath, there was only a chilling coldness.

“That phone.” Old Wang paused for a moment and continued, “After you get the phone, don’t look at its contents. Just give it to Wang Yue. If you know about this, it will be harmful to you. I’m telling you this for your own good. You must listen to me!”

As she spoke, her nails dug into Mei Shu’s flesh. Just like before in the countryside, whenever Mei Shu showed any resistance, she would hurt Mei Shu without hesitation, forcing Mei Shu to comply..
