"Dad, at this point, it's no use you chastising me; please, just get me out of here," Xu Meili pleaded impatiently, her tone softening.
Grandpa Lan sighed and had no choice but to go and speak with the police.
"Officer, she's my daughter-in-law, not a fraud," he pleads.
"Officer, my daughter-in-law has never been in a police station her whole life; you can check her records."
"Officer..."
"You go home first. We still need to look into this. We'll call you in three days," the officer dismissed him with a wave of his hand.
Feeling helpless, Grandpa Lan and Lan Ruowei had no choice but to go home and wait for the news.
"Meili's records are clean; there's no criminal history. Moreover, someone vouched for her. I wonder why we can't release her."
A puzzled officer questioned, looking at the back of Grandpa Lan.
"What do you know? It's a request from our superiors," the officer who dismissed Grandpa Lan responded with a knowing smirk.
"From our superiors?"
