Chapter 1551 Underestimating Guan Queye
That statement was sufficient to silence everyone. They looked around and at each other. Indeed, none of them had caught a glimpse of the groom.
Shen Luo’an and Guan Queye were both the main leads in the day’s event. Not only had Shen Luo’an not turned up, the bride had been sent off to the hospital for an emergency rescue. Both of them weren’t present.
There is definitely something fishy about it!
“It’s hard to say whether or not it was a suicide. We will need to investigate the details, but Miss Ye will have come with us now,” the officer-in-charge stated. Immediately following that, another police officer stepped forward to handcuff Ye Youyou hands and said, “As long as Miss Guan is able to escape death, everything will be fine. This way, please.”
“Seal off the crime scene! Disperse the crowd!”
“Yes, Sir!”
The handcuffs were chillingly cold on Ye Youyou’s hands. The strange sensation went straight to her heart. She turned her head and looked at Li Jinnan helplessly.
He looked back at her and nodded his head wordlessly as he mouthed the words, “Don’t be afraid.”
Don’t be afraid. Don’t be afraid.
Ye Youyou turned her head back. Her heart was beating quickly in her throat. Her whole body was trembling.
It is impossible to not be afraid!
Guan Queye had drank that tumbler of water all on her own before throwing up blood. Had she prepared to commit suicide in advance in order to frame Ye Youyou for it? Or, was this whole situation just a farce? Did Guan Queye hurt herself in order to garner pity and rally everyone else against Ye Youyou so that she would no longer be able to show her face in public?
If the results of the investigation pointed toward Ye Youyou as the perpetrator… If Guan Queye emerges fine from the situation, I will be accused of causing intentional harm and failing to succeed in her murder attempt. If something really happens to Guan Queye, that would be murder. The punishment for that is either lifetime imprisonment or death.
At that thought, Ye Youyou bit her bottom lip and began to sob. She cried, “It wasn’t me! I had no intention to harm her at all. It was she…”
“Don’t worry, we’re still investigating the details,” a police officer said. “If you’re innocent, we’ll let you go.”
Yes, the truth would prevail. In any case, it was inevitable that she would be a suspect in this case. Since the police had been mobilized, they would definitely be able to discover the truth.
They will ! They will definitely be able to!
Li Jinnan followed behind as Ye Youyou was led into the police car. Once they reached the police station, she was immediately locked. Everything she had with her was confiscated.
Li Jinnan was feeling down in the doldrums. He hadn’t even gotten the chance to see her. This was the Capital, and it had been a few years since he retired. Given the current circ.u.mstances, his words carried no weight.
He picked up his phone and gave Li Beixing a call. The call was answered quickly. “h.e.l.lo? My little brother is missing me?”
Li Beixing seemed to be in high spirits. Li Jinnan gave him a brief rundown of what had just transpired. Li Beixing’s carefree demeanor disappeared immediately.
“Are you sure she’s innocent?” he asked.
“I am. She’s not the sort of person who is capable of that at all.” In addition to a sense of helplessness, Li Jinnan was feeling guilty. “It’s my fault. I had thought that since it was that woman’s wedding day, she’d show a little more restraint.”
Everyone knew that Guan Queye had gone through many hards.h.i.+ps in order to end up with Shen Luo’an. At the very least, it was unlikely that she would ruin her own wedding. Unfortunately, he had clearly underestimated her. He had also overestimated Ye Youyou.
Li Beixing was silent in deep thought for a moment before replying, “The current situation is very complicated. You might be able to guarantee that she’d never do something like that, but others will still be suspicious. I have some contacts in the police force in the Capital. Let me make a call and see how the situation is.”
