Hey, first of all, thanks for reading my lousy Machine Translation. To be honest, I’d really like it if you guys corrected the mistakes I made. But please speak nicely and politely. My heart is not strong enough to read your too-harsh comments. Have a nice day. 🙂

Chp18. part1

“You smashed my car window, and I’m supposed to thank you? Are you crazy?” the woman raged.

“Why are you only focused on the car?” Zhu Lin asked, annoyed.

“What else should I be focused on?” the woman retorted, hands on her hips. “Let me tell you, this car is brand new, it costs tens of thousands! You’re paying for this, or I’m calling the police!”

Zhu Lin ignored her. “No need. I’ve already called them.”

“Seems she’s not your real daughter – she’s a kidnapper,” Yun Xin nodded. “From now on, no one leaves. We all wait here for the police.”

Only then did the woman realize Yun Xin was holding her daughter. She stared at her husband in disbelief. “How did our daughter get in the car?”

“I don’t know,” he replied with an innocent expression.

“In 40-degree heat, with the windows rolled up, and parked in a secluded spot? You don’t know?” Zhu Lin scoffed.

Though the woman found it strange, she insisted, “We didn’t do it on purpose!”

“Right,” her husband chimed in. “Just a momentary lapse.”

Zhu Lin turned to Yun Xin. “It doesn’t seem intentional. Should we just drop it?”

Yun Xin shook her head. “We still need to wait for the police.”

“The police won’t blame us,” the woman insisted stubbornly. “She’s my daughter! I just wasn’t watching her for a moment. Are they going to lock us up for that?”

“You can’t be so sure,” Zhu Lin said thoughtfully. “There have been new regulations lately prohibiting child abuse. Parents can be held legally responsible for neglecting their children.”

“How is that possible? You’re making things up!” The woman jumped up and down in agitation.

Zhu Lin rolled her eyes. “Who’s lying to you? Look it up online yourself. They’ve had too many accidental deaths in recent years, so they’re going to focus more on protecting children under eighteen and ensuring their healthy development.”

“This…” The couple exchanged uneasy glances, their faces growing flustered.

The more Zhu Lin watched them, the more suspicious she became. She deliberately added, “I heard the police station just got some new lie detectors. They’re 100% accurate. If you go there, don’t even think about lying – they’ll catch you immediately.”

“She’s not our biological daughter, she’s adopted! She’s adopted, alright?!” The woman’s voice trembled with panic and fear as she finally changed her story.

The husband’s gaze shifted evasively. “It was really an accident… I did think about adopting a boy, but I never wanted to harm her… She’s my daughter! How could I not love her? I bought her the best food and drinks, everything she wanted.”

Zhu Lin: “……”

What do you call a self-incriminating confession? This is it.

Just then, the police arrived. “Who called it in?”

“I did,” Zhu Lin said, raising her hand and recounting the events.

The officers noticed the couple’s odd expressions. “You only knew the car window was broken, but you didn’t know the child was still inside?”

“We’re first-time parents, we were just careless,” the husband said, forcing a smile, suppressing the urge to flee.

The woman interjected, “We’re official adopters! We have the adoption certificate! We’ve always treated her well, this was just an accident today.”

“You can explain all this at the police station,” the officer said, leading the couple away and taking the infant into his arms.

“What will happen to the baby?” Zhu Lin asked, watching with lingering concern.

“She’ll be sent to a welfare institution. The state will fund her care until she’s 18,” the officer explained. “New regulations recently passed – the Ministry of Finance has allocated funds to ensure children without guardians receive excellent care. You don’t need to worry too much.”

“That’s good to hear,” Zhu Lin said, relieved.

The officer turned to Yun Xin. “Would you come with us to the station?”

“Alright,” Yun Xin agreed.

Zhu Lin, worried, wanted to go along.

“The man is lying, he won’t get away,” Yun Xin said. “Zhou Rui will be overwhelmed alone. You should go back.”

Zhu Lin considered it and nodded. She watched Yun Xin leave with the officers.

[The player successfully saved a human in Dungeon 115644 “Asphyxiation Accident in a Stroller” with a completion rating of “C”. Rewards: Strength +0.1, Constitution +0.1.]

Accident? This was clearly murder.

The thought had barely formed when Yun Xin suddenly realized that murder itself could be treated as a Dungeon.

The husband was likely a first-time offender. After being taken to the police station and questioned by officers, he’d crumbled under the slightest pressure.

“When we first adopted, I wanted a boy. My wife refused, saying girls are more affectionate. She fell in love with that baby girl at first sight.”

“Later, I brought up wanting a son again. My wife said we already had a daughter and too many children would be a burden. She didn’t want another one.”

“That day at noon, I don’t know why, but this thought kept circling in my head – if we didn’t have this daughter, we could adopt a son. So I…”

He didn’t need to finish. The others already understood.
