Chapter 168: Dong Haoyu’s determination

Chow Mey opened her weary eyes. The white ceiling of Tianjin Bureau’s custody room stared back at her blankly. The door opened and Supervisor Lei Honghui stepped in.

He pulled back a chair and sat facing her, narrowing his eyes. "Where have you kept the sleeping pills, Miss. Chow? You used that to make Wan Guanting invalid to fight you, right?"

She chuckled tiredly. "Well if you didn’t find it anywhere then how would I know? No matter what questions you ask, my answer won’t change. I didn’t kill Director Wan."

"Then why did you go to meet him at the same time as he was killed?"

"It was supposed to be a private conversation."

"Not a conversation but a private agenda to kill him. There is no lack of reasons for you to hate Wan Guanting. I dug into Wan Guanting’s history and past."

She froze.

"There are some huge debits from his bank accounts made to numerous hotels. The common link in all that expenditure are two things. Wan Guanting’s money and the woman with whom he visited to all these hotels. You."

Chow Mey peered into his sharp gaze in silence.

"With this evidence in my hands right now, I will ask it straightforwardly. Did you and Wan Guanting share any relationship?"

Her expression said nothing.

"I have the right to have my legal representation. Have you contacted my entertainment agency?"

"We have. They are trying to get you a lawyer."

Chow Mey smiled. "It’s been two days. They are still trying to find a lawyer for me?"

"I am telling you what they have told me."

"Which actually means that they are abandoning me."

"I cannot comment on that. What I can do is talk about your motives. Whether you admit it or not, you and Wan Guanting were in a physical relationship. You hated it because he was forcing you in order for you to get the good roles that you wanted."

Chow Mey inwardly clenched her jaw.

Lei Honghui continued. "Or maybe you hated him because of the forced beauty treatments he made you take. Or maybe because he meddled a lot with your shooting contracts. From what I found, you always got a much lower pay than the other actors despite being capable and talented but Wan Guanting did nothing about it. You wanted to be paid fairly but who listens to actresses?"

She hugged her arms closer, feeling slightly chilly. "Please leave. I have nothing to say."

He didn’t press on further. He bleakly said, "Miss. Chow. After looking into the past, I understand what sort of a man Wan Guanting was. I really cannot blame you for your hatred towards him. But murder is never an option. If you confess it now, the court might be lenient with your punishment."

She said nothing.

Lei Honghui left it at that. "I will take my leave. For your information, Mr. Dong Haoyu is waiting outside to meet you. I will let him in."

"Don’t," she plainly said, "I don’t want to meet anybody."

"He has heard that response many times now and he is persistent to meet you."

She didn’t respond.

"I will let him in."

He left and a few moments later Dong Haoyu came in.

"Meymey..."

She looked up at him and her eyes slightly widened seeing his shriveled face that was devoid of his usual handsome smile. He took a seat on the same chair where Lei Honghui was seated.

Chow Mey looked away. "I think I was clear I didn’t want to meet anybody."

"Not even me? I wanted to see you, Mey."

"Why would you want to meet an ugly woman in jail?"

He smiled ever so softly. "You are always the most beautiful woman for me, Mey. And you aren’t in jail yet."

She chuckled. "What does it matter? It’s just a matter of time. My agency has abandoned me."

"I will find the best lawyer-"

"No," she icily cut him off. Her wintry gaze fell on him unforgivingly. "Not anymore. I won’t let a man hurt me anymore. I had enough with you all."

His eyelashes trembled. "I will never hurt you, Mey. I love you a lot."

"Your feelings are just a burden to me, Haoyu. I have said this to you many times. Why do you still insist on not giving up?"

"Love makes you do very silly things at times, Mey."

She stiffened with a certain memory of the past surfacing in her mind.

"What will it take for you to forget me?"

"Nothing," he calmly but determinedly affirmed.

Chow Mey looked straight at him. "I have slept with Director Wan. Many times. Just for the sake of my career, I have sold my body to a man who was my father’s age."

To her shock, instead of seeing disgust and outrage in his eyes, a tear slipped down it past his cheek. "I love you, Mey."

He cautiously but gently held her hand in his hand, always making sure that his actions weren’t spooking her. He rested his forehead on the back of her hand and whispered, "I am sorry we couldn’t meet sooner. I am sorry I wasn’t there to protect you sooner. It was all my fault, Mey."

He slowly lifted his head and dropped a feathery kiss on her hand. He smiled. "I will get you out of this place, Mey. Your agency might abandon you. Your fans might abandon you. But I would never leave your side, Mey. I love you."

Dong Haoyu got up from his seat and left the room. Chow Mey stared at her hand that still lingered with the warmth of his tears and kiss. A bad foreboding clutched her heart.

What is he going to do? I don’t want him to do anything stupid for my sake!

—

Lei Honghui felt a presence looming over him. He raised his head and saw Dong Haoyu standing before him.

"Are you done meeting with Miss. Chow? You still have some more time left."

Dong Haoyu stared at him. "You should release Mey. She didn’t kill Wan Guanting."

He sighed. "Mr. Dong. I understand your feelings, but-"

"I killed Wan Guanting. You have arrested the wrong person."
