Someone had already gone to call the head guard, who was resting with his men.
"What?" he asked, clearly stunned. "Children were swept away too?"
He frowned.
"Just five minutes of rest and that family has already started trouble again… what is going on now?"
The guards behind him laughed lightly.
"We should go and check, sir," one of them said.
He nodded.
"Let's go."
They all headed toward the riverbank where everyone had gathered.
…
Bai Ming walked straight to Li Manman and stopped in front of her.
"I will ask you once," she said.
"Did you push my children into the river?"
Her voice rose sharply.
"Answer me."
Li Manman frowned.
"I already told you," she said. "I did not push them."
She crossed her arms slightly.
"Yes, I called them over, but they slipped and fell. That is not my fault."
Her voice turned cold.
"You should be thanking me for calling for help, not accusing me of trying to kill your children."
She scoffed.
"You are truly ungrateful."
