Chapter 1029: This Must Be a Mistake

Ye Hao suddenly turned away as though he didn’t want to see her twisted and repulsive face.

“Lock her up,” he said softly.

If she had committed a crime, then she should pay for her actions. He found her actions extremely detestable, especially since that b.i.t.c.h had tried to harm his unborn child.

Inspector Liu shook his head.

“I’m sorry to say this, but Mr. Ye, I would suggest letting her go first. We could lock her up since she has already admitted that she tried to bribe w.a.n.g Lan to harm your ex-wife, He Xiyan’s unborn child. This is considered an attempt to cause intentional harm which is also a criminal offense. We could capture her now but we are still lacking in evidence for w.a.n.g Lan’s case. We suspect that she isn’t the main perpetrator of the crime but it is possible that she knows more than she’s letting on. Hence, I’m proposing to send my men to keep an eye on her after we release her and use her track down w.a.n.g Lan’s whereabouts.”

Inspector Liu could tell that Ye Hao wished that Han Xue would be convicted of her crimes even more than the police did themselves and guessed that he had a very poor relations.h.i.+p with Han Xue.

“Very well. I hope that you’ll be able to expedite your search and find w.a.n.g Lan, whether she’s alive or dead.

Ye Hao was bitterly disappointed in Han Xue and was repulsed by her especially after he heard the recording.

If Han Xue had hired someone to get rid of w.a.n.g Lan, then, she would have to pay for her crimes, even if that meant death.

——

There was a huge commotion in the mansion that was located south of the city.

Han Xue’s mother Han Qing and her father, Yang He who was almost 70 years old had paid a visit to the mansion.

Xia Jingshu didn’t know what else she could say to them, so she sat in the living room with a stony and annoyed look.

Han Qing took Xia Jingshu’s hands in hers and said, “My daughter would never harm a maid. I’m sure that the police officers must be mistaken about her involvement in this. You have to find a way to bring her back as soon as possible. Now that she’s part of the Ye family, it would be extremely embarra.s.sing for the Ye family and this would also affect your family’s reputation.”

Han Qing cried as she spoke.

She had asked her daughter about w.a.n.g Lan’s disappearance but Han Xue refused to disclose much and insisted that she didn’t know anything.

Yang He was also very anxious. He was almost seventy years old and his health was deteriorating. He wouldn’t be able to handle such shocking news.

Why would his daughter harm someone who didn’t have anything against her?

It seemed completely absurd.

“Could I trouble you to call Ye Hao and tell him to come home? I’m sure Xiao Xue has been wrongly accused of a crime,” Yang He refused to believe that his daughter who had always been well-behaved since she was a child would commit such a crime.

Xia Jingshu heaved a long sigh and waved off their comments.

“Alright, please calm down. The police will investigate and determine whether or not she is innocent. There’s no point in telling me all these,” she said.

Xia Jingshu was completely drained and all the drama that was happening at home was getting on her nerves. She neither had the capacity nor the mood to handle the histrionics of these people.

If Han Xue had truly harmed w.a.n.g Lan, then she should be punished by the law.

Otherwise, if the media got wind of how the Ye family had used their clout to avoid being judged by the law, the public would definitely turn against them.

Xia Jingshu gestured for her nurse to wheel back to the room to rest with a wave of her hand. She felt apologetic toward Han Xue’s parents but she had no energy left to continue entertaining them.

Han Qing looked even more upset than before after Xia Jingshu left and her palms were clammy with sweat.

She quickly grabbed hold of her ex-lover’s hand. Yang He was more than 10 years older than her and she had fallen for him despite his age.

“What should we do? I don’t think the Ye family will help Xiao Xue out this time,” she said.
