Though the white policeman couldn’t grasp Chinese, he managed toprehend the English mixed into ine’s speech, which blended bothnguages.


    To her surprise, ine had just imed that the officer was her mother, which ignited a wave of anger within the policeman. In response, he deliberately applied more pressure with his knee, pushing hard against ine.<fnb6d6> Get full chapters from find?novel</fnb6d6>


    ine was taken aback by a sudden, sharp pain coursing through her body. The pressure made it difficult for her to breathe, and then she heard a sickening crack—her rib had been broken by the policeman!


    Overwhelmed by excruciating pain, ine broke into a cold sweat, crying out, “My rib is broken! My rib is broken! Help, I’m in agony…” As she pleaded, she turned to the policewoman, eximing, “You need to stop him, or I’ll be crushed to death! Is this how you treat first-ss passengers?!” The policewoman replied coldly, “I’m not a drug dealer like you.”


    It was our first encounter; do you think buying a first-ss ticket grants you immunity from thew?!<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    ine was momentarily stunned and stammered, “What… what drug dealer?!” The female officer scoffed, “Still pretending to be clueless? Our customs officers discovered over 180 ounces of new synthetic drugs—over 5,000 grams—in one of your checked bags. Do you realize how serious this is? It couldnd you in prison for life in the United States!” “What?!”


    ine was momentarily paralyzed with fear, blurting out, “This… this can’t be true! I’m aw-abiding citizen. How could there be drugs in my suitcase? I’ve never even seen anything like that!” Suddenly, she recalled Ste, and her mind felt like it was exploding.


    Atst, she awoke from her daze, realizing the trap she had fallen into.


    Desperately, she eximed, “I… I’ve been wronged! I was set up! That scoundrel Ste lied to me; you have to investigate this thoroughly and clear my name!” In that moment, ine grasped the shocking reality of the scam she had be a victim of.


    She knew she had packed her own luggage, never once opening it, making it impossible for her to have contraband in it. Given that the police imed drugs were found in one of her two checked bags, it had to be the suitcase that Ste had asked her to carry back to Hong Kong Ind! The realization struck her hard: Ste was not a sessful entrepreneur or a rtive of a beverage magnate; she was aplete fraud! Ste had meticulously deceived her into smuggling contraband out of the country. The police had indicated that over 5,000 grams of contraband were discovered in that suitcase, and if this had urred in China, it could lead to a death sentence.


    Filled with regret and terror, ine pleaded with the female officer, “Comrade police… I was truly deceived! A woman named Ste asked me to take the suitcase to Hong Kong Ind. I have no idea what’s in it—I’m innocent! You have to believe me!” The policewoman just sneered and asked, “What did she promise you? How much were you paid to carry someone else’s luggage across borders?”


    ine hurriedly replied, “I didn’t want anything; I was just helping a friend…” But as she said this, guilt washed over her.


    Deep down, she knew that she had agreed to help Ste with her luggage because Ste had promised her a Lexus LM300 upon her return and an invitation to stay with her in Hong Kong for a few days.


    However, ine reassured herself that those were mere verbal promises and since she hadn’t received any money from Ste, there was no way the police could find evidence against her.<h3 ss="has-text-align-center wp-block-heading" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong>
