CHAPTER 300: CHAPTER 300: THE CRIME OF ASSAULTING A POLICE OFFICER

"What did you say?" Director Wang finally understood whom Ming Lan was referring to as her daughter with these words. He thought it was just an ordinary criminal, but unexpectedly, it was actually the woman who had kidnapped a soldier’s family member.

Regarding what Ming Lan said, Director Wang held a doubtful attitude. Whether it was last night or this morning, he hadn’t received any orders to release Jiang Mingzhu.

But what gave Ming Lan this confidence, thinking that the troops would allow Mu Qiancheng to be discharged, and that her daughter could be released?

Besides, even if Mu Qiancheng is discharged, the charges against Jiang Mingzhu for kidnapping still stand. Without the victim dropping the charges, she has to remain in prison.

"What, didn’t you understand?" Ming Lan, full of smugness, repeated what she had just said to Director Wang.

After speaking, she raised her head slightly, waiting for Director Wang to apologize to her, and to say that he will release Jiang Mingzhu. But instead, what she got was Director Wang’s simple reply: "I know."

"That’s it?" Ming Lan was stunned, asking foolishly.

"What else do you expect?" Director Wang questioned back, then said to Ming Lan, "I understand what you said. However, I’m sorry, we will not release her, nor can we."

"Why?" Ming Lan raised her voice, making everyone in the hall hear her clearly. Feeling the eyes of those around them, Director Wang frowned and said, "Every country has its laws, every family its rules."

"Your daughter has broken the law and must face legal judgment."

Ming Lan’s expression turned unpleasant, as she lectured Director Wang, "You are so ignorant of the situation, with no understanding of human relationships. Did you not listen carefully to what I said earlier? I am the second wife of the Jiang Family in South City and also the eldest daughter of the Ming Family in North City. You’d better weigh the consequences of offending me."

"Whether or not I know how to handle people, and whether I understand social graces, is none of your business. I have work to do, excuse me!" Director Wang’s expression also turned cold as he retorted at Ming Lan and then strode toward his office.

Ming Lan, watching this, was extremely angry, and she harshly said to Director Wang’s back, "Mark my words!"

The people in the hall saw Ming Lan’s furious state, but none stepped forward, each pretending they hadn’t seen anything.

As no one paid attention to her, Ming Lan got even angrier, glaring at everyone in the hall before walking toward a female officer who looked easier to intimidate, and ordered, "You, take me to see my daughter."

The female officer, somewhat afraid of Ming Lan, whispered, "Madam, you’ll need to fill out a form to visit. Also, I’m not in charge of this; there’s a window over there where you can fill out the form."

The female officer kindly directed Ming Lan, but to Ming Lan’s ears, it sounded like an excuse. Combined with how Director Wang had treated her just now, she was already full of pent-up anger, so she lashed out directly at the female officer.

Raising her hand, Ming Lan slapped the female officer fiercely and said, "A mere police officer dares to disrespect me."

A serious accusation was suddenly thrust onto the female officer, leaving her dazed, staring blankly at Ming Lan, not understanding why she was hit.

The captain of the criminal police squad, witnessing the slap, had an ugly expression as he came over, checking her face while saying to Ming Lan, "Lady, you have quite the temper. Assaulting a police officer in public, it seems you’re asking for a place to cool your temper."

"In that case, I’ll grant your wish."
