Lady Meilin is seduced by her green tea brother-in-law everyday-Chapter 261: Tang Yue’s questioning.

Tang Yue was having shit luck like. After being forced to board a plane in handcuffs, transported like a criminal and whisked off to a holding cell in a police station, the last thing she wanted to do was talk to the police when she finally sat down in an interrogation room.

She was hungry and thirsty, tired after the flight and in need of a shower. Also, the agents that arrested her in the American empire neglected to bring her son Mo Hao along with her.

Someone needed to give her answers on his whereabouts before she could say anything.

Detective Lin Ying entered the room first with a cup of tea and a sandwich.

"Eat up." She told Tang Yue.

She left and returned fifteen minutes later with a bottle of water and a small notebook. As soon as she sat down across from Tang Yue, the interrogation started.

"Miss Tang Yue, do you know why you are here?" She asked.

Tang Yue kept her hands around the ceramic cup which was warm with only a quarter of its contents left. The sandwich had been devoured completely. She would not have eaten under the circumstances but hunger was not a monster that one could easily keep at bay.

"Where is my son?" Tang Yue asked in a raw strained voice. She had screamed so much during her arrest, detention and deportation that one pint, she had been sedated for the peace of everyone on the flight. "Please, you must help me. I was arrested on my way back from buying groceries and I tried to tell them that I have a child waiting at home but those people just....." She broke off, crying loudly.

Lin Ying handed her a tissue. "Miss Tang, your son is already on a plane on his way back to the empire as we speak." She showed him an image on her phone of Mo Hao boarding a plane with an agent that was acting as his temporary guardian. "We will inform you about his arrival and you will be allowed to talk to him before he is handed over to a legal guardian of your preference. Who might that be?"

Tang Yue was now calming down and she felt so much better. She took a sip of the tea and gulped the contents down without tasting them.

"Can I have another cup of tea?" She asked Ling Yue.

Ling Yue looked at the camera and pointed a finger at the cup before turning back to Tang Yue. "Someone will bring in a cup shortly. Is there anything else we can get you?"

"A shower and a lawyer. I don’t know why I am here and I would prefer not to speak without legal council present." She answered.

Lin Ying nodded and excused herself. Ten minutes later, she returned with a public defendant and Tang Yue was freshly bathed and changed. She was sipping her third cup of tea and eating pancakes.

All this was done because Lin Ying did not want any claims at the trial that Tang Yue had been questioned under distress and forced to confess. Prime minister Chi Rui, the Empress Mother, Emperor, Imperial Commander and a whole lot of other powerful people were very interested in this case.

Lin Ying was hoping to wrap it up nicely and secure herself a promotion at the end of the year. Also, she had been told that Lady Chi would give her a nice fat bonus if she wrapped things up with a bow.

"Your lawyers are not answering so a public defender will have to do." She told Tang Yue. "Let’s begin. Your lover, Mo Liang was arrested for attempted murder. Are you aware of this?"

"No." Tang Yue replied, crossing her arms across her chest.

Lin Ying was gentle when questioning, but she always got results. It was why she had been sent in.

"You expect us to believe that you have no knowledge on the story that has spread in local and international media?" Lin Ying paused, for dramatic effect. "You should know that we have already spoken to your son and he seems to be aware of what is going on. It makes no sense that you are oblivious to it. So, I will ask again, are you aware of Mo Liang’s arrest?"

Tang Yue was beside herself. "You questioned my son!" She bellowed. Looking at her lawyer with widened eyes, she asked him, "Can they even do that? I checked on the internet and it says it is not legal to question a minor in the absence of their parent or guardian."

Lin Ying clarified before the lawyer could answer. "I said we spoke to him, not we questioned him. An agent simply wanted to know if he wanted to speak to his father and he shared that he overheard you on the phone asking someone why your husband had been arrested."

"You had no right to talk to him." Tang Yue screamed.

"Miss Tang, I advise you to stick to answering the questions that I am asking if you want to get out of here quickly." Lin Ying looked at the lawyer, wondering what he was there for. He did not seem to be particularly keen on advising or helping Tang Yue.

What she did not know was that the public defendant was on the payroll of the Jun family. He was not there to help Tang Yue exonerate herself, he was there to make sure that she sunk so deep that she got no less than twenty years in prison when the case went to trial.

"Just answer honestly about Mo Liang and this can be over soon." He advised Tang Yue.

Tang Yue’s nostrils flared in rage and she glared at Lin Ying. "Fine, I knew that he had been arrested for attempted murder. They say he poisoned Jun Meilin, if your next question is if I was aware that he was poisoning her my answer is no."

"Are you sure that you did not know about the poisoning?" Lin Ying still asked.

Tang Yue exploded like a fire cracker. "I did not know. I did not know. I did not know. How many times do I have to repeat myself? You won’t make me admit to a crime that I did not partake in. If anyone should be arrested, it is his dumb mother that hated Jun Meilin the most because her family looked down on her and A Yang. If anyone came up with the idea to poison that bitch Mei Mei, it was her mother-in-law. There, now can I go home?"

A satisfied smile curved on Lin Ying’s lips. "No."
