90s: You are all reborn, who will spoil you?

Lin Luping cried in front of the police. Her usually pretty face was now tearful, and she looked extremely weak and helpless.

Her voice was trembling and choked with sobs, and every word was squeezed out from the deepest part of her heart.

"Officer, you really misunderstood me." Lin Luping sobbed, her eyes red and tears welling up in them, but she never let them fall. She maintained a pitiful demeanor. "I just came here to hang out. I didn't gamble at all. That money, that loose change, was just for daily necessities. I didn't expect to be involved in such trouble."

She gently raised her hand and tried to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, but that action seemed more like a deliberate display of her helplessness and vulnerability.

Lin Luping's eyes were filled with fear and anxiety, as if she was an innocent victim caught in the sudden storm.

"I really didn't know this was a casino, officer. I usually just play mahjong, how could I go gambling? You must believe me, I am innocent." She continued to cry, with a hint of pleading in her voice, asking the police to understand her situation and give her a chance to reform.

Lin Luping's sophistry flowed like a stream. She tried to cover up the truth with her weakness and innocence, attempting to make the police suspicious of her behavior.

At this critical moment, any trace of sympathy and mercy from the male police officer could be the key to her escaping punishment.

She is a person who is skilled in taking advantage of her gender, just as she habitually manipulates her own daughter's psychology, and it is easy for her to do so.

In fact, Lin Luping herself didn’t understand why she seemed to be born with the ability to control people’s hearts and use her eloquent mouth to get what she wanted.

She has never met an opponent except her first love, Teacher Huang, and Yao Yadong.

Just when she thought she could escape punishment with this trick again, the situation in the interrogation room changed dramatically.

The young policeman who was originally in charge of the interrogation had a hint of hesitation and wavering in his eyes after hearing her crying.

But at this moment, an older policeman noticed the young policeman's hesitation, and he pushed open the door and walked in.

The older policeman has a sharp gaze and a serious expression, and can see into people's hearts.

"Lin Luping, that's enough."

The older policeman interrupted her sobbing with a deep and powerful voice, "Don't try to quibble. It won't work on me. Leniency for those who confess, severity for those who resist."

Lin Luping's heart sank suddenly. She didn't expect to meet such a tough opponent this time.

She tried again to gain sympathy by acting weak and innocent, but this time, her efforts were completely ineffective.

The older policeman looked at her with sharp eyes, his tone full of unquestionable authority.

"Stop talking, Lin Luping," the older police officer interrupted her again. "Your actions have violated the law, and you must accept the corresponding punishment. We won't let you go just because of your one-sided story, nor will we change the facts because of your sophistry."

The older policeman then explained to Lin Luping in detail her illegal behavior and the legal consequences she would face.

He told her that according to relevant laws, she would be fined 200 yuan and administratively detained for three days.

As Lin Luping listened, the luck and fantasy in her heart gradually shattered. This time she was really in trouble.

The three days spent in the detention center will be a difficult time for Lin Luping.

......

Xie Jianhua guarded the brown bear mother and cub at the Forestry Bureau all night. Worried about his daughter, he asked for leave from the staff and returned to the family compound.

He has a lot of things to do recently. First of all, he has to buy a commercial house and move out of the staff housing compound as soon as possible.

Secondly, his brother-in-law Lin Hui is about to take the college entrance examination, and it is reasonable for him to give Lin Hui some money so that he can study hard in college.

Finally, because his daughter Xie Yan is gifted, he is going to start preparing to teach her the relevant knowledge of Chinese veterinary medicine, including acupuncture and Chinese medicine preparation, as well as the prescriptions passed down by generations of the Xie family.

Xie Yan was so excited that she didn't sleep well the whole night.

When she woke up, Xie Jianhua had already prepared breakfast. The steaming porridge and freshly-baked buns were emitting an enticing aroma, waiting for her to eat together.

The sunlight shines into the room through the gaps in the curtains, adding a touch of warmth to this ordinary morning.

"Yan Yan, where is your mother?" Xie Jianhua asked with concern as he placed a bowl of hot porridge on the dining table.

When he returned home, he found that Lin Luping was missing. After all, his wife Lin Luping was not someone who would get up early to prepare breakfast, which made him a little worried.

Xie Yan was sitting at the dining table, holding a steaming bun in her hand, eating it in small bites, her face filled with satisfaction and happiness.

Hearing her father's words, she raised her head with a look of confusion and thought in her eyes.

"Mom didn't come home last night. She said she went out to play." Xie Yan answered while eating, with a hint of suppressed excitement in her voice.

Xie Jianhua frowned slightly when he heard this.

He put down the dishes in his hands, walked to Xie Yan, squatted down, and asked in a gentle tone: "Yan Yan, have you noticed anything wrong with your mother recently?"

Xie Yan stopped what she was doing and looked at her father seriously.

She thought for a moment, then said, "Mom seems to be very busy lately and is often not at home at night. Sometimes she comes home very late and has a strange smell on her body."

Xie Yan thought that her father had discovered that her mother Lin Luping was gambling, so she reminded her father in a tactful way.

After hearing what his daughter said, Xie Jianhua became even more worried.

He thought that Lin Luping's disappearance and recent behavioral changes were probably related to her suspected infidelity.

He took a deep breath and tried to stay calm and rational, even though his heart was filled with countless uneasiness and anxiety.

"Yan Yan, don't worry. Dad will go find Mom and find out what happened." Xie Jianhua stroked his daughter's head again, his eyes full of determination and tenderness.

Xie Yan nodded and finished her breakfast carefully.

She put on her shoes, shouldered her backpack, and prepared to face the new day.

"Dad, I'm done eating. Let's go."

Xie Jianhua stood up, walked to the door and picked up his coat and keys.

He glanced at his daughter and a warm feeling welled up in his heart.

He knew that no matter what difficulties they encountered, as long as they were together, nothing would be impossible to overcome.

"Okay, let's go." Xie Jianhua responded with a smile, took his daughter's hand, and walked out of the house together.

Walking on the streets in the early morning, the sunlight shines on them through the gaps in the leaves, bringing a touch of warmth.

Xie Jianhua and Xie Yan chatted as they walked, trying to keep the atmosphere relaxed and cheerful.

They talked about interesting things at school and shared each other's happiness and troubles.

Xie Jianhua was always concerned about Lin Luping. He secretly decided that he must find her as soon as possible and have a good talk with her.

After sending Xie Yan to school, Xie Jianhua did not go home immediately.

He drove to Shawan Coal Mine where Lin Luping worked.
