“Of course, I won’t stand by and do nothing.” Mei Shu supported her arm, making her sit securely in the chair before calmly asking, “I’ve already looked into you and Zhou Nan’s situation. Zhou Nan’s offense isn’t too serious; he’ll be released in a few days. However, your problem is significant. You’re suspected of attempted murder, and the sentence might not be light.”
“I didn’t want to kill anyone! Believe me, child!”
Old Wang anxiously leaned forward, almost half of her body on the table, fingers tightly grasping Mei Shu’s wrist.
Mei Shu pried open her fingers one by one and pulled out her arm. Then, under her increasingly urgent gaze, she continued, “I know you didn’t intend to kill anyone, but taking a dozen sleeping pills can be deadly if not treated in time.”
Old Wang was completely panicked now. At that time, she was only worried that Lin He might wake up during the process and resist, disrupting her plan. She just wanted Lin He to sleep a bit more deeply!
She didn’t have any intention to directly kill her!
“I really didn’t! Ignorance is not a crime. They can’t sentence me to death just like that!”
“Don’t worry. As long as I’m here and can find evidence in your favor, they won’t easily convict you.” Mei Shu reassured her with fabricated confidence.
Old Wang believed her words, tearfully expressing her gratitude, “If you can help me, I’ll make sure my son remembers your kindness when he becomes successful!”
“Alright, I’ll wait for Brother Nan to make me rich,” Mei Shu casually echoed her, going along with her statement that no one could guarantee.
Old Wang’s eyes lit up, “Good child, I can vouch for him in this regard! If he becomes a big boss in the future, he won’t mistreat you! When will you help me find evidence favorable to me? Lin He, that wretch, probably won’t be willing to let me off easily!”
“What does it matter whether she lets you off or not? Can she still do anything to the Mei family?” Mei Shu directly mentioned her family’s influence to make her believe.
With hope filling her face, Old Wang said, “Then 1’11 wait here for your good news! You better do it quickly! This place is so uncomfortable! The sooner 1 get out, the sooner I can tell my son not to forget your great kindness!”
“Okay, then I’ll leave first.” Mei Shu pretended to stand up.
However, as she walked away, Old Wang suddenly looked at her back and hastily called out, “Will you really help me? Mei Shu, you’re not lying to me, right?”
Mei Shu calmly stopped, a hint of coldness flashing across her lips. When she turned around, her face only showed a gentle and obedient smile. “Of course, I’ll help you. Why would I lie to you? In matters of life and death, I’ll definitely stand by your side. After all, you watched me grow up.”
Hearing her say that, Old Wang finally completely let go of her worries. “Then I’ll wait for your good news!”
“Sure.” After giving Old Wang reassurance, Mei Shu no longer had the mood to continue the conversation.
What she needed to do now was to wear down Old Wang’s patience. When Old Wang became more and more anxious, it would be time for Mei Shu to reveal her trump card.
After leaving the police station, Mei Shu went to meet Lin He.
Lin He, now confident and beautiful, seemed to have returned to the self-assured girl before marrying Zhou Nan.
The two of them had nothing to do today, so Lin He took the initiative to suggest teaching Mei Shu how to dance.
Mei Shu gladly agreed and took her to a dance studio. After swiping her card to reserve the entire studio, only the two of them were left in the spacious room.
Lin He, fascinated, caressed the barre beside the dance studio. She had once sweated profusely here, experiencing both glory and frustration. But now, looking back, there was only a heart full of joy.
“Shall we start?” Mei Shu warmed up by herself on the side.
Lin He, withdrawing her thoughts, saw her looking like she was about to go into battle and couldn’t help laughing, “That’s not how you warm up for dancing!”
Mei Shu was stunned for a moment, immediately lifting her left leg, which was lowered, and stood straight, asking, “Then how do you warm up?”
Lin He blushed slightly and smiled shyly, “Follow me, but I haven’t danced for so many years. I don’t know if it’ll be too strenuous now.”
“Well, let’s practice together!” Mei Shu was full of enthusiasm for dancing.
Seeing her so interested, Lin He no longer hesitated. She connected her phone to the speaker, played some music suitable for warming up, and then, together with Mei Shu, followed a video to perform the most standard dance moves.
While dancing, Lin He looked like a graceful swan swimming in a pool, dazzling to the point where one couldn’t look away.
Mei Shu watched her back and genuinely smiled from the bottom of her heart.
Lin He was indeed lucky; fortunately, she woke up not too late.
She and Zhou Nan had no children, and Lin He was still very young. There would certainly be a brighter future ahead.
The two of them danced in the studio until dusk before reluctantly stopping.
Even Mei Shu was sweating profusely.
While panting, Lin He couldn’t help but smile with a suppressed joy, “Shall we come here together again next time?”
