The question was direct and penetrating.

Wang Lan's mouth fell open and she looked up with a startled expression. When her eyes met Qiao Lian's, she looked down nervously once more. ”I- I- I don't know what you mean. You—”

Before she could finish, Qiao Lian probed aggressively, ”Who made you switch the drug? Shen Liangchuan? Xia Yehua? Or was it Auntie Li? Or… Song Yuanxi?!”

Wang Lan was suddenly at a loss. ”Madam, I really don't know what you mean.”

Seeing that she wasn't going to come clean no matter what, Qiao Lian narrowed her eyes. ”Wang Lan, your family owed 200 000 to loan sharks. Where did you get that money to pay off your debt?”

Her words caused Wang Lan to squirm and hunch her shoulders. ”I- I- I—”

”You got a hold of a huge sum of money out of the blue. If you don't come clean with the truth, then I will have to ask the police for help.”

At this point, Qiao Lian picked up her cell phone and dialed 110. Just as she was about to hit the call button, Wang Lan panicked and grabbed her phone, crying, ”Madam!”

Qiao Lian stared at her with a half-smile on her face.

Wang Lan was on the verge of tears and looked around nervously. Eventually she gritted her teeth and said, ”Madam, come with me.”

Qiao Lian returned the cell phone to her pocket and followed Wang Lan, as the latter led her into the corner of the street.

It was a quiet spot and there were few passers-by.

When they went around the corner, Qiao Lian turned and looked at her in the eyes. ”Who gave you the 200 000?”

Wang Lan bit her lip and just when Qiao Lian thought she was finally going to speak, the elderly woman fell to her knees with a thud, right before Qiao Lian.

Shocked at this unexpected response, Qiao Lian quickly took a step back and asked, ”What are you doing?”
