The Hidden Dragon In-Law

Seeing Elizabeth Ma in such a desperate state, the two police officers exchanged glances. The officer with a ruddy complexion asked, "Elizabeth Ma, we can consider releasing you, but there are some issues we need to clarify with you first. If we let you go and you return home, how will you explain your whereabouts for the past two days to your family?"

Elizabeth quickly replied, "I... I'll just tell them... these past two days... these past two days..."

She stammered for a long time without coming up with a coherent explanation, as she herself didn't know how to explain it to her husband and daughter once she got home.

After all, she had disappeared without a trace for two days and nights. More importantly, she was covered in bruises, clearly having been beaten up.

The most critical thing was that she had lost two front teeth, making her look quite pitiful.

The ruddy-faced officer calmly suggested, "Here's an idea: if we decide to release you, when you get home, tell your husband, your daughter, and your son-in-law that you accidentally got involved with a pyramid scheme. They brainwashed you and sent you to the bank to commit fraud, and that's when the police caught you."

Elizabeth nodded eagerly and blurted out, "Officer, rest assured, if you let me go home, I will follow your instructions and not reveal a word about this matter. I won't hinder your efforts to catch international fraudsters!"

The officer nodded and said, "Alright, we'll discuss this matter. For now, we'll have someone take you back to the detention center. If we decide to release you, the detention center will handle the paperwork."
