In the interrogation room, I calmly confessed everything to the police.

From how I was imprisoned ten years ago for protecting my daughter, to discovering after my release that Tao Jiang had long been tormenting her.

I spoke of how we sought help but were turned away by both the police and the courts, and how the hospital even threatened to stop treatment. I couldn't contain my inner rage.

"Who doesn't want to live a peaceful life, to be a law-abiding citizen? But they pushed us too far! If I didn't think of a way, my daughter would be pushed to her death by them."

I spoke with tears in my eyes, my heart full of guilt and helplessness towards my daughter.

The eyes of several police officers were clearly glistening with tears, yet they still sternly criticized me.
