In fact, Ren Rongxue had already mentally prepared herself for being captured; there were only two possible outcomes for her assassination attempt on Ren Rongzheng.

One option is that the assassination succeeds, and then she goes back to beg Zhou Guisheng to bring her mother out. Of course, he might also go back on his word and pin all the blame on her, but she has no choice.

The other option is that after the assassination attempt fails, she is arrested by the police, which would at least allow her to escape Zhou Guisheng's clutches and ensure that her life is not threatened in the short term.

But now that she's been arrested, what will happen to her mother? The law is merciless, and her mother doesn't have much time left. If she can't see her mother before she dies, it will be a lifelong regret for her; she won't be able to close her eyes in peace.

"You have to believe me, everything I'm saying is true, everything I'm saying is true!"

After Ren Rongxue finished speaking, she saw that the police were only taking her statement and did not respond to her anymore, which made her very anxious. Then she emotionally emphasized it again.

“You must arrest him immediately. I was really forced into this. He imprisoned me, and if I didn’t do this, he would kill me. So I didn’t commit the crime intentionally; I was forced into it.”

Please let me go. Please don't tell me my mother has terminal cancer and doesn't have much time left. She's waiting for me. Please let me go.

Ren Rongxue was explaining and pleading in a particularly emotional state, but the police would not easily succumb to sympathy because of her emotions.

"As far as we know, you tried to kill Ren Rongzheng before, but you escaped because of a lack of evidence. This time, according to witnesses, you rushed into Ren Rongzheng's ward with a dagger yourself."

She was giving birth at the time, and only you went in. Zhou Guisheng's men did not go in with you. In other words, under those circumstances, if you did not want to kill Ren Rongzheng, you could have explained the situation to them and asked them to save you.

But you didn't do that. Instead, you viciously attacked a woman who was giving birth, and even tried to harm the newborn. You also injured three people. This is a very serious criminal offense, a criminal act committed on your own initiative.

what?

A very serious criminal offense? Is that attempted murder? And she also injured Wang Yuxia and two others?

"No, that's not how it is. You're framing me. I've never had a good relationship with Ren Rongzheng. Do you think she didn't want to kill me?"

I was coerced by Zhou Guisheng. If I didn't kill Ren Rongzheng, I would never see my mother again, and he would kill me too. I had no choice but to do it.

I already had a grudge against Ren Rongzheng and his group. I explained the situation to them, but they only gloated. How could they possibly help me? So I was forced into this situation from beginning to end!

It was all that bastard Zhou Guisheng who forced me to this, and... and Zhou Guisheng is a big traitor. He colluded with the government of Country B, and the riots that took advantage of the situation in China were instigated by him.

I read in the newspaper that if you discover any acts of treason around you, you should actively report them, right? I've already reported one, a major traitor. Does that mean I'm making amends for my crime?

Please, please let me go. I was forced into this by him. I'm innocent. My mother is still in the hospital; she doesn't have much time left..."

"Take her away first."

Upon hearing what the police said, two officers then tried to take her away from the police station, one on each side. Ren Rongxue was truly devastated. Was she just going to be locked up? And how long would they keep her locked up?

"No, don't lock me up! I was really coerced! I'm innocent!"

Ren Rongxue shouted loudly, but no one listened to her anymore; they forcibly dragged her away.

After being detained, being locked up with a group of prisoners awaiting trial was a truly devastating experience for Ren Rongxue.

"I've really been wronged! Let me out! I want to get out!"

After Ren Rongxue was forcibly locked up, she pounded on the door and shouted loudly, which undoubtedly angered the other prisoners who were locked up with her.

"Hey newbie, what's all the noise about! Shut up right now, or you'll regret it!"

Upon hearing this, Ren Rongxue shuddered in fright and slowly turned around to look at the group of people. Although they were all women, several of them were tall and strong, and each of them looked fierce and menacing.

That makes sense. They are all guilty, so how could they be good people?

At this moment, Ren Rongxue was the target of everyone's criticism and had no one to rely on.

Helpless?

Thinking of this, Ren Rongxue suddenly remembered Ren Naiyao, and then quickly shouted, "My dad is Ren Naiyao. He's the factory manager of the steel plant. He's extremely rich. Go and contact him, and he'll bail me out!"

"I told you not to make a sound just now, don't you understand? Do you even know where you are?"

Enraged by Ren Rongxue's renewed shouts, the others grabbed her hair and dragged her over.

She was all too familiar with this scene and had a stress reaction. She immediately covered her head and begged for mercy, "It was my fault for not knowing the rules. Please forgive me. My dad is Ren Naiyao. He's the factory manager of a steel plant. He's very rich. Everyone who sees it gets a share. When I can get out, I will definitely help the sisters here. Please don't hit me."

"Your dad is the steel mill manager?"

"Yes, it's now called Ren's Steel Plant. My dad is the factory manager. He's incredibly wealthy now; he's probably the richest man around here."

The steel mill really made a lot of money during this war, and Ren Naiyao's net worth increased many times over, which was Ren Rongxue's estimate.

Upon hearing her words, the others burst into unrestrained laughter.

"Your dad's the steel mill manager, and he's the richest man around here? Hahaha..."

After they finished speaking, these people laughed unrestrainedly, and seeing their laughter, Ren Rongxue knew that they hadn't believed a single word of it.

"You're such a braggart!"

After she finished laughing, a woman slapped her across the face.

"Your dad is the richest man here, but my dad is the richest man in the world! You've been disturbing our rest since you arrived, and you're such a braggart with your little mouth. I'll let you brag!"

After being disciplined, Ren Rongxue huddled in the corner, not daring to lift her head. She bit her lip tightly, only shedding tears, but not daring to cry out loud.

Why is this happening?

Is this retribution? Is this the fate that she and her daughter have to suffer, while Ren Rongzheng can have four children, and then Zhan Beiqin will be promoted to a higher military rank and become the wife of a higher-ranking official?

If Ren Rongzheng saw her like this, he would definitely be gloating to death, right?
