Huo Lin argued with reason and evidence: "Only by saying so can you extricate yourself more quickly, or would you prefer to stay there?"
Fu Yun was at a loss for words, her face flushing red with embarrassment, she said uneasily, "But you can't, you can't... tell them I'm sick!"
After all, she was his biological mother, and Huo Lin was quite patient: "This is just an excuse to exonerate you."
Because criminals with mental illness aren't given heavy sentences.
The crime Fu Yun committed was neither severe nor trivial, but it was enough to make her suffer for a long time. In the end, it was Huo Lin who presented years of her medical records, proving that she indeed suffered from mental illness, which allowed her to leave the police station so quickly.
Fu Yun didn't understand Huo Lin's intentions. There are no secrets that can't be revealed, and it probably wouldn't take long for word to get out about her illness.
To her, this was absolutely humiliating.
