CHAPTER 301: CHAPTER 301: QIAN CHENG TAKES ACTION

"Get her! Charge her with assaulting an officer, take her away and lock her up!"

At the captain’s command, two police officers immediately came over and restrained Ming Lan.

"What are you doing? Let me go!" Ming Lan shouted loudly. The thought of being locked up made her furious.

Who was she? She was the second mistress of the Jiang Family, the eldest miss of the Ming Family. If people found out she had been put in jail, they’d laugh their heads off.

"Let me go! I am Ming Lan, the eldest miss of the Ming Family. You can’t do this to me."

"Let me go, let me go, the Ming Family won’t spare you."

Ming Lan kept shouting, but unfortunately, no one paid her any attention. They directly escorted her into a cell and locked the door.

"Open the door, open the door!" Ming Lan staggered as she was pushed, but quickly turned around, frantically banging on the now-closed door.

"Bastards, bastards, don’t let me out, or I’ll make you pay."

"Just you wait, I won’t let you off."

Ming Lan shouted for a long time, the cell door remained tightly shut, and no one came to open it. Instead, the person who was already in the cell opened their eyes at the sound of Ming Lan’s yelling, stared blankly at her, taking a long time to come to their senses.

After a while, when Ming Lan finally tired out and stopped shouting, that person came up to Ming Lan and called out, "Mom, is that you?"

The familiar voice left Ming Lan startled. She turned her head to see her daughter, Jiang Mingzhu.

She was extremely surprised, looking at Jiang Mingzhu, she asked, "Mingzhu, why are you here?"

"Mom, I was going to ask you the same thing. Why are you in here? Weren’t you outside trying to find a way to get me out?" Jiang Mingzhu looked at Ming Lan, puzzled. Yesterday, they had agreed she would be rescued.

But it’s been just a day, and now she was here too?

"Mingzhu, don’t worry. Rest assured, Mom will definitely get you out." Ming Lan quickly comforted her daughter seeing the disappointment in her eyes.

She never expected that those people would lock her up in the same cell as Jiang Mingzhu. However, even though she was now locked up, she wasn’t worried. She believed those people would soon let her out, and by then, unless they begged her, she wouldn’t even consider leaving.

Ming Lan was feeling quite optimistic, yet she didn’t know that the Ming Family she relied on was in big trouble. Early this morning, a letter detailing the misconduct and corruption of Mr. Ming and his son landed on the disciplinary committee’s desk.

The committee took the complaint very seriously and immediately launched an investigation. At the same time, Mr. Ming and his son were suspended from work.

Upon receiving the suspension notice, Mr. Ming didn’t quite understand and asked the messenger, "What exactly is going on? Why suspend my work like this out of nowhere?"

"Mr. Ming, it’s an order from above, I’m just following instructions," the messenger said and left without lingering.

Mr. Ming was completely dumbfounded until after the messenger had walked far away did he react, then he picked up the phone to inquire.

Upon inquiring, he discovered he was in trouble, someone had reported him.

Mr. Ming panicked completely, and after hanging up, he made several more calls. He wanted to find someone to plead his case, but those he used to lean on were quick to avoid him now that he was in trouble. Those who once flattered and respected him now couldn’t distance themselves fast enough.
