ine was fully convinced by the tale the police officer had shared with her.


    Her biggest fear at the moment was the possibility of the officer keeping her in the detention center, preventing her from spreading any rumors or causing unnecessary panic. If that were to happen, she had no idea when she would finally be free again.


    With tears streaming down her face, ine looked at the police officer with desperate eyes and pleaded, “Officer, I promise I won’t breathe a word about this to anyone. Please, just let me go. If you keep me locked up in here, I don’t know how I’ll survive…”


    The police officer shook his head slowly and replied, “ine, I can’t take your word for it. I’ve encountered many individuals like you before. You might promise us that you won’t tell anyone, but as soon as you’re out, you’ll spill everything because you can’t keep quiet.”


    He continued, “Moreover, you shouldn’t think that we’ve detained you solely to solve this case. We are doing this for your own protection!”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    “If we release you and you start spreading rumors or talking recklessly, the criminal organization involved will surely catch wind of it. They coulde after you, eliminate you, and then frame you for their crimes. You could end up as the scapegoat for all their wrongdoing!”


    “Wouldn’t that be an even greater injustice?”


    “To safeguard you, it’s best that you remain in the detention center until we apprehend all the suspects. Once that’s done, we can release you without any concerns. Our intention is simply to ensure your safety.”


    In desperation, ine responded, “But how long must I wait before I can leave? I’m begging you—please show some mercy and let me go. I won’t say anything at all. I would even kneel down and beg if it meant I could be released right now. I can’t bear being locked up any longer…”


    As she spoke, ine was almost breathless from crying…


    “Enough,” the police officer said coldly. “We cannot take that risk. This involves the Interpol from twenty-three different countries. We cannot be held ountable if this case falls apart because of you!”


    One of the officers, acting as the voice of reason, chimed in, “I think she seems genuinely sincere. If she can control what she says and keep quiet about this, perhaps we can consider letting her go.”


    The officer who had been more skeptical replied, “Who will take responsibility if she identally reveals crucial information? What if something happens to her?”


    The more understanding officer turned to ine and asked, “ine, do you truly believe you can keep your mouth shut and avoid saying anything inappropriate? If you can, we’ll need you to write a guarantee letter. If you promise to do that, we might let you go. But if you speak out or divulge any details after your release, we’ll have no choice but to arrest you again and keep you locked up until this case is resolved!”


    ine wiped her tears with her sleeve, gasping for breath as she replied, “Officer, I swear I won’t say a word about this. Honestly, I’m a timid person who fears for my life. This situation is directly tied to my safety. Even if you threaten me or point a gun at me, I won’t utter a single word!”


    At that moment, the skeptical officer asked, “What about your son-inw? Will you confront him about this as soon as you are released?”


    ine was momentarily taken aback. Would she even have the chance to confront that scoundrel Charlie?
