Reborn in the 90s, tearing apart scumbag men for the sake of women.

Upon hearing this name, both Song Lingge and Zhang Xiuxiu were startled.

No wonder the police came to the store.

Although Song Lingge had already prepared herself mentally from her conversation with Captain Hu.

But the person who was alive and well standing in front of her yesterday has been poisoned to death today, and she felt a wave of nausea.

Fang Guanghua and his group were too ruthless.

Zhang Xiuxiu, recalling what Song Lingge had just said, exclaimed in surprise, "Officer, it definitely wasn't Lingge who poisoned us!"

“I prepared the food and packed it up myself, so I’m the prime suspect. Doesn’t that prove Song Jianmei is innocent? Captain Hu, can you release my aunt? She’s old and timid; she can’t handle these things.”

Having talked with Song Lingge for so long, Captain Hu, who had been judging people for many years, subconsciously believed that this girl was not a bad person.

"If what you're saying is true, then you are indeed the prime suspect. Aren't you afraid?"

Song Lingge shook her head and said with great certainty, "I believe the police officers will not wrong an innocent person, nor will they let a bad person go free."

Captain Hu laughed heartily, then said seriously, "Song Jianmei's story is different from yours. After she heard that the deceased was Chen Sande, she quickly confessed, saying that this man had abused her for many years and was still harassing her even after their divorce. She couldn't stand it and poisoned him. She was emotional and didn't want to say anything else, only repeatedly saying that she poisoned him."

Song Lingge felt a mix of emotions. Song Jianmei must have thought that she was the one who did it to Chen Sande.

It's all her fault. She always takes things on herself and doesn't explain things to Song Jianmei in detail. Song Jianmei probably misunderstood what she meant by "she'll handle it herself."

“Captain Hu, my aunt must think I poisoned her, so she wants to take the blame for me. She is disrupting judicial fairness, but there are extenuating circumstances. I hope you can be lenient with her. Moreover, I am not afraid of investigation and will actively cooperate with you to complete all investigations.”

Captain Hu waved his hand and shouted outside, "Bring Song Jianmei out."

Upon seeing Song Lingge, Song Jianmei burst into tears and went completely mad.

She stammered, "It was all my doing! I poisoned her! Please don't arrest her! It was all my doing!"

Song Lingge and Zhang Xiuxiu quickly stepped forward to restrain her. Song Lingge said loudly, "Aunt, I didn't poison her. I came here voluntarily to cooperate with the investigation. Don't make false accusations. Tell the truth."

Song Jianmei finally stopped crying and asked again, "They said Chen Sangde is dead. Is it really not you who poisoned him? You were the only one who packed the food last night!"

Song Lingge held her hand tightly and explained again, "I packed it up, and I gave that lunchbox to Chen Sangde, but I really didn't poison it. As for who poisoned it, we just need to tell the police the truth, and I believe they will investigate thoroughly."

"Really?" Song Jianmei asked again, still not entirely convinced.

Song Lingge nodded emphatically: "Really, I promise!"

Song Jianmei wiped away her tears, but in an instant, tears streamed down her face again.

She was genuinely terrified. When she was taken to the police station and heard that the deceased was Chen Sangde, she recalled Song Lingge's words about leaving the matter to her, and also remembered that only Song Lingge had gone to the kitchen that night to pack a box of food.

She didn't have time to think and could only react instinctively.

Even if Chen Sangde really did poison Song Lingge, it was for her sake.

Therefore, she was willing to take the blame.

"Your behavior constitutes disrupting judicial fairness, and in serious cases, you could go to jail. However, considering this is your first offense, you will not be punished this time. But remember not to do it again, otherwise you will be dealt with severely. You must trust the people's police."

Captain Hu gave Song Jianmei a few instructions, and then another officer took Song Jianmei aside and gave her a lecture.

"You and Song Jianmei should not leave Nanzhou City until the case is closed."

Song Lingge nodded, took out a pen and paper from her bag, and wrote down a phone number for Captain Hu: "Captain Hu, this is my home phone number. If you need anything while I'm at school, you can call the shop. I will fully cooperate with any investigations you may have."

With a very positive and proper attitude, Captain Hu accepted the note.

Even after leaving the police station, Song Jianmei was still shaken.

Song Lingge hailed a taxi, and it wasn't until the three of them got out of the taxi and returned to "Delicious Songxiang" that Song Jianmei felt like she had truly come back to life.

She picked up her water glass and gulped down a large glass of water.

"Lingge, are you really alright now?"

Song Lingge clutched her stomach, looking somewhat uncomfortable.

Song Jianmei nervously put down her cup and helped her up, saying, "I knew this wouldn't be so easy to resolve. You were lying to me earlier, weren't you? So what should we do now?"

Seeing that the joke had gone too far, Song Lingge helped Song Jianmei sit down and raised her voice a little: "Auntie, Auntie, I'm not lying to you. I was just joking."

"Then why were you clutching your stomach in such pain just now?"

Song Lingge continued to clutch her stomach, saying in a tone that was half coquettish and half aggrieved, "Auntie, we've been busy all day and haven't eaten yet, so of course our stomachs are upset!"

Song Jianmei then glanced at the people in the store.

Song Lingge, Zhang Xiuxiu, Yu Shaofen, and Jing Chu—of course! Old Zhang isn't in the shop, so what can these kids get to eat? They're bound to be hungry!

Song Jianmei immediately tied on her apron and rushed to her real battlefield.

"Wait for Auntie, it will be ready soon."

Song Lingge glanced at the clock and guessed that Aunt Lu and the others should be back soon, so she said, "Aunt, make more food, Aunt Lu and the others should be back to eat too."

Song Jianmei nodded, only then noticing that none of the store's employees were in the store.

However, since Song Lingge had instructed that more food be prepared, she must know where they had gone, so there was no need for her to ask any further questions.

This niece is her pillar of support.

Sure enough, before all the dishes were served, Aunt Lu, Xiao Jiang, and Lao Zhang returned one after another.

When they saw that Song Lingge and Song Jianmei had returned, they exchanged glances with Song Lingge, indicating that the matter had been settled.

"Boss lady, it's so good to see you back. I was almost scared to death just now," Xiao Jiang said, her voice trembling with tears.

Aunt Lu tapped her forehead and said with a smile, "Little girl, you're just timid. We're all ordinary people who do nothing wrong, there's nothing to be afraid of."

After being scolded by Aunt Lu, Xiao Jiang retorted somewhat indignantly: "You're one to talk! You were scared just now too, and kept asking Lao Zhang what to do next."

The young girl spoke without thinking, so Aunt Lu quickly explained to Song Lingge and Song Jianmei, "Boss lady, young boss, I didn't mean anything by it, I was just worried about the shop..."

“Your concerns are valid!” Song Lingge suddenly spoke up.
