Chapter 235: Chapter 235 Shen Yanhe: Are you afraid I’ll be angry when I find out who you are?
Meanwhile, at the police station.
Inside the interrogation room.
Su Lan tried to maintain her composure and with a smile said to the officer sitting across from her, "Officer, you must have the wrong idea about me, I have never done anything illegal."
"All my life, I haven’t even killed a chicken, let alone step on an ant, how could I possibly kill someone?"
"Right, officer, could you have made a mistake?" Xia Ran, dressed in hospital clothes and pale-faced, also suppressed the panic in her heart, and tried to look calmly at Officer Song.
"Besides, I just escaped from a criminal, how could I have killed someone?"
"That’s right, officer, you said we killed someone, but you need evidence for that." Su Lan spoke with increasing confidence.
When she had decided to deal with Shen Yanhe and Fu Xiao, she made sure all traces of her and Xia Ran were cleaned up.
Moreover, now that the key witness Lu Yunkai was missing, the police would never be able to find him.
Without evidence, the police couldn’t do anything to them.
Officer Song chuckled coldly, "You want evidence, you can have it."
Su Lan’s heart skipped a beat, a bad premonition surfacing in her mind.
Could it be... that the police really had evidence?
Officer Song picked up the intercom and said a few words, and the door to the interrogation room was opened from the outside; an officer walked in with two transparent bags.
Officer Song threw the bags on the table, pointing at them, "This is the evidence."
Inside the two bags were a necklace and a voice recorder.
Xia Ran turned ashen when she saw the necklace, sweat beading her forehead.
The necklace was the same one Fu Xiao had pulled off her neck when she tried to push him down the mountain.
She hadn’t expected Fu Xiao to have kept the necklace.
"We’ve done a DNA comparison on the blood found on the necklace, and it’s been confirmed to belong to Miss Xia," Officer Song said and then pressed the voice recorder, from which a man’s voice stuttered out.
"Su Lan was my first love. After my family went bankrupt, that vile woman broke up with me. She contacted me when I came back to the country, offering me several million to help her with a woman named Shen Yanhe. So, I set up a car accident for Shen Yanhe..."
Su Lan’s face drained of color; her body felt like it had been plunged into an ice cellar, freezing from head to toe.
She recognized the voice—it was Lu Yunkai’s.
Lu Yunkai... had already fallen into the hands of the police.
Officer Song turned off the recorder and looked at Su Lan and Xia Ran, "Do you have anything else to say?"
Xia Ran’s teeth chattered as she spoke, "Officer, that necklace was stolen from my neck when Fu Xiao kidnapped me, it has nothing to do with me..."
She was so young, she had a bright future ahead of her, she didn’t want to go to jail.
"Miss Xia, being honest can warrant a lighter sentence, resistance will be met with severity," Officer Song said earnestly, "The incident where you pushed Fu Xiao off the cliff, besides having evidence, we also have two eyewitnesses."
Xia Ran’s head buzzed, going blank for a moment, "Eyewitness... witnesses?"
How could there be eyewitnesses?
The sky was so dark at the time! How could there have been anyone on the mountain!
Officer Song nodded slightly, "Yes, Fu Xiao said he was saved by two hikers at that time, and he still has their contact information. If necessary, we will call them to testify in court."
Xia Ran slumped in her chair, her face as white as a ghost.
It was over, everything was over.
-
Elsewhere, half an hour later, Shen Yanhe arrived at the police station.
The policewoman who received her asked about the car accident that day. It was only then that Shen Yanhe learned that Su Lan and Xia Ran had both been detained.
It looked like they would soon be joining Fu Xiao in prison.
After the routine questioning was over, Shen Yanhe was free to leave.
As she was leaving the police station, she ran into Xia Tingyuan, who had hurried over.
Xia Tingyuan’s face darkened, blocking Shen Yanhe’s path, and looked at her with hostile eyes, "It was you, wasn’t it? You framed Su Lan and Ranran."
"How can you be so vicious? Ranran has already stopped competing with you for Fu Yanhe, yet you still press her so aggressively! Are you satisfied only if you drive her to her death?"
Xia Tingyuan had been busy at the company all day.
For some reason, the company’s stock had been plummeting all day, leaving him in a state of complete disarray and with no time to pay attention to the news online.
He was unaware of Fu Yanhe’s situation.
When he received the call from the police station, he was stunned, and without a moment’s hesitation, he rushed over to the police station.
Xia Tingyuan believed that Su Lan and Xia Ran wouldn’t commit murder behind his back; he thought in his heart that someone must have framed them.
After bumping into Shen Yanhe at the police station, his conviction only grew stronger.
After all, Shen Yanhe had had a history with Xia Ran, and her presence here meant she was up to no good.
Shen Yanhe stopped in her tracks and looked at Xia Tingyuan with a sneer, "I framed them?"
With her hands in her pockets and a mocking gleam in her eyes, Shen Yanhe said, "It seems that Su Lan and Xia Ran haven’t told you anything, have they?"
Xia Tingyuan’s brow furrowed deeply as he asked in a heavy voice, "What do you mean?"
Shen Yanhe looked at Xia Tingyuan with a hint of pity in her eyes, "If Mr. Xia wants to know what I mean, why not go and ask your beloved wife and daughter yourself?"
After saying that, Shen Yanhe didn’t bother with Xia Tingyuan any further and walked past him to leave.
She had barely taken two steps when she paused and turned her head to Xia Tingyuan, "Oh, and you might want to prepare some quick-acting heart pills. I’m afraid you won’t be able to handle the truth and will wind up straight in the ICU. That would really grieve Grandpa Xia."
To Xia Tingyuan, her words sounded like an outright curse. His expression grew even uglier. Just as he was about to scold Shen Yanhe, he realized she had already left.
Xia Tingyuan scoffed twice and turned to hurry towards the interrogation room.
By the time Shen Yanhe returned to the villa, her phone had just received a breaking news notification.
#Xia Family’s head, Xia Tingyuan, hospitalized for a sudden heart attack#
#Xia Ran and Su Lan in prison#
#Luxury legal drama#
Shen Yanhe’s eyebrows raised slightly, and she shook her head to turn off the screen.
I told him to prepare quick-acting heart pills; he’s another who wouldn’t take advice.
She got out of the car and walked towards the villa.
As soon as she entered the living room, Shen Yanhe saw the space filled with beautifully decorated gift boxes of all sizes.
Shen Yanhe raised her eyebrows slightly and turned to look at Fu Yanhe, who was coming down the stairs, "What are these?"
Fu Yanhe was playing with a small and square gift box in his hand, looking at Shen Yanhe with a tender gaze, a slight smile creasing his eyes, "Gifts for Yanyan."
These gifts were all personally selected by him from the FY mall, unique collectibles.
Shen Yanhe’s eyebrows lifted as she stood in the living room and took a look around before slowly asking the approaching Fu Yanhe, "Giving me gifts all of a sudden."
"Are you afraid that I’ll be angry with you upon learning your identity?"
"Should I call you the Executive Director of FY Corporation, or should I just address you directly as the hidden boss of FY Group?"
