The Regent's Little Wife

Chapter 442 Regretful Li Mei

Officer Bai's son, 28 years old this year, is also a policeman. Three years ago, he fell from the third floor while on duty and fell into a coma. He is still lying in the ICU ward of the hospital. This side quest requires Lu Zhiyao to rescue Officer Bai's son. As a reward for the quest, the system will give her a resurrection armor. But if the quest fails, the system will take back all her auras in this plane.

When Lu Zhiyao heard about this task, she couldn't help but feel a strong impulse in her heart. She glared at the system, wanting to smash it hard on the ground. But then, she calmed down. She knew that this task was her chance to repay Officer Bai's kindness and also a moment for her to show her strength. So, she took a deep breath and said firmly: "Okay, I'll do it! I will definitely complete this task!" It's time for me to repay that kindness. Lu Zhiyao whispered to herself, and her figure had quietly disappeared behind the door of the room.

Bai Qi quickly took Li Mei and the other two back to the police station and immediately started an overnight interrogation. At first, Li Mei firmly denied that she had anything to do with the case, but faced with overwhelming evidence, she finally had to bow her head and plead guilty.

Tears rolled down her cheeks, and she said in a trembling voice: "Sir Bai... please, let me see my biological daughter! Everything I did was to give her a better life, in the end it was just for money. My son was murdered inexplicably, and we still don't know who the murderer is."

"Sir Bai, please help me investigate the cause of my son's death! Who took his life so cruelly? I know that I neglected to discipline this child, which led to his indulgence and misconduct..."

"However, even if he made a mistake, he should not have suffered such a tragic ending! Although he is guilty, he can fully accept the sanctions and punishment of the law. Officer Bai, the first two things were indeed done by me, and I have admitted them all. Now, I only have two wishes left. One is that I hope to see my daughter whom I miss so much; the other is to ask Officer Bai to find out the truth about my son's murder, so that I can rest in peace even if I die..."

Bai Qi is a battle-hardened and experienced policeman. The woman standing in front of him is not only a suspect, but also a family member of the victim. Bai Qi knows what happened to his son. Although he is not in charge of the case, he can fully empathize with the deep love and concern of a mother for her son.

His thoughts could not help but drift back to three years ago, when Bai Qi's son was unfortunately involved in an accident while performing a mission, and he is still lying in the ICU ward with his life or death unknown. It was this kind of pain that made him deeply understand the heart-wrenching pain of a mother or father when they see their children in trouble.

Thinking of this, Bai Qi resolutely said: "I can take over this case and investigate it for you. Your son has many enemies, and the situation is quite complicated, so it will be difficult to investigate. But please rest assured that I will do my best to investigate this matter thoroughly. However, you must understand that you will eventually bear the corresponding consequences for your actions. Regarding your wish to see your daughter, I will convey it to the Lu family. As for whether your daughter is willing to see you, it depends entirely on her own wishes."

At this moment, Li Mei slowly stood up and bowed deeply to Officer Li in front of her: "Thank you very much, Officer Li! It is not until this moment that I truly realize the endless regret in my heart. Looking back on all the things I have done in the past, I really regret it! Officer Li... I know very well that I may never meet the second daughter of the Lu family again in this life, but I still implore you to convey my apologies to that poor girl on my behalf."

"Looking back on the past years, the person I feel most guilty about is the second young lady of the Lu family. Due to my own selfish desires, they have been separated for more than twenty years! This sinful feeling of debt can probably only be repaid in the next life." At this moment, Li Mei suddenly realized as if waking up from a dream, why had she been busy running around all these years?

Was it just for her precious daughter? That was not the case! In the final analysis, she just wanted to enjoy wealth and prosperity and live an enviable upper-class life. Therefore, she had the evil idea to steal someone else's child and take it for herself; at the same time, she went to great lengths to send her own daughter to the Lu family. Over the years, she has exploited her own daughter in every possible way, and has amassed hundreds of millions of yuan in wealth!

However, today, faced with such a tragic scene before her—her son died tragically on the street and her little daughter is missing and her life or death is unknown—what meaning does the huge wealth she once dreamed of have to her now?

When Lu Wange learned that her biological mother wanted to see her, she was initially calm and even a little resistant. However, she changed her mind and thought that since the crime she committed was already a dead end, why not meet her? With this in mind, she finally went to the police station to meet her mother.

Stepping into the room, Lu Wange looked coldly at the woman in front of her - Li Mei, and said: "I heard that you want to see me, what do you want? Are you trying to get money from me? What use will the money be for you now?" Her words were full of sarcasm and disdain.

Li Mei silently stared at Lu Wange, the flesh and blood she had carried for ten months. How could she not understand her daughter's state of mind at the moment? As the saying goes, no one knows a daughter better than her mother! After a moment of silence, Li Mei sighed softly, "My daughter... The Lu family treats you well, you must not do anything that damages the reputation of the Lu family. Listen to your mother's advice and stop in time, otherwise you will regret it in the future!"

Lu Wange raised her head and glanced at her mother's familiar yet unfamiliar face. She knew exactly what she said. She sneered, "You were the one who sent me into the Lu family. Why are you trying to persuade me now? Could it be that you suddenly felt guilty and regretted your past actions?"

"The evil things you did are simply intolerable! He was not even a month old, still in swaddling clothes, and you cruelly stole him from home and tried to drown him in the water. Not only that, you were so cruel as to push your own sister into the reservoir! Now, how can you have the face to blame me again?" Lu Wange's eyes were full of contempt and disdain as she stared coldly at the mother in front of her.

"Wan Ge... Mom really knows she was wrong, please forgive me. Over the years, I shouldn't have treated you as a tool to make money, and I shouldn't have been so pampered and indulgent to your brother. I know I made a big mistake, but I regret it. However, I can probably guess what you are going to do next. The kind-hearted second daughter of the Lu family is indeed a rare good girl, and our family owes her too much."

"So, please don't hurt her, okay? This is my last request to you. I hope you can agree to it for the sake of our relationship as mother and daughter, okay?" Li Mei said with tears pouring down her face. At this moment, her emotions were extremely sincere, because deep in her heart she was being consumed by regret and self-blame, but it was too late.

Lu Wange stared coldly at her mother in front of her, her eyes full of doubt and confusion. She never thought that her mother would say such a thing to her today. Why shouldn't she hate the Lu family? The anger in her heart almost swallowed her up.
