Han Xue’s voice sounded hoarse when she spoke to Ye Yi. Although she didn’t understand him, this was the only man she could trust and rely on at the moment, so she was left with no choice.
Ye Yi coughed softly before he said calmly, “Alright, I understand. Where are you right now?”
Han Xue said, “I just checked into a hotel and this is the reason that I managed to find an opportunity to contact you. Ye Yi, I’m guessing that Ye Hao would definitely apply for a divorce. Even if I refuse to grant him a divorce, he would head to the courts to request for them to grant him a divorce and this time, I can’t pretend to commit suicide again. He wouldn’t care even if I actually killed myself and the police might think that I committed suicide as an indirect admission of my guilt. I really don’t know what I can do right now. I can’t even go home. Could you help me arrange for a place to stay?”
Han Xue made her request. She couldn’t possibly continue staying in a hotel and Ye Hao would definitely cut off all relations with her.
Ye Yi remained silent for a while.
She finally heard him speak after waiting for close to a minute. He said coldly, “I will try to make accommodation arrangements for yourself. Are you sure Wang Lan doesn’t have any concrete evidence on Xiao Yu’s true identity?”
This was clearly what he was most concerned about but Han Xue who didn’t have anyone left to turn to didn’t notice it.
“I doubt so. If she was in possession of any such evidence, the police would have probably already gotten their hands on it,” she said.
She was terrified that the police might manage to dig evidence left behind by Wang Lan up one day and force her to present herself at the police station for another round of interrogation. She knew that the next time she entered the police station, it was very likely that she might not be able to walk out.
“Oh yes, Ye Yi, you said that I wasn’t involved in Wang Lan’s murder at all, so even if they find out how Wang Lan died, I wouldn’t be charged by the law, right?” Han Xue asked a very silly question.
She didn’t see the mocking smile that spread across the man’s face after she posed such a silly question.
Soon, she heard him answer, “Don’t worry, they wouldn’t be able to find any more clues on Wang Lan’s murder no matter how hard they dig. Even if they manage to find any clues, it wouldn’t be related to you, so there wouldn’t be any need for you to take responsibility.” He paused for a moment before he said, “Please avoid contacting me in the next week because Manni is about to give birth, so I’ll be spending the next few days with her. I don’t want her to be suspicious about our relationship, so remember to avoid contacting me. I will send you a phone number in a moment and this is my subordinate’s number. Contact him if you need anything and he will attend to all your needs.”
Han Xue paused and her face suddenly turned very pale. Ye Yi’s words were like a bucket of icy cold water that had been poured over her.
She couldn’t believe that he just told her to avoid contacting him. But…
Ye Yi then hung up before Han Xue could even voice her reservations.
Han Xue quickly heard the beeping sounds that indicated that the line had been cut.
She hadn’t finished her piece, so she quickly dialed Ye Yi’s number once again. However, she received an automated message that said, “Apologies, the number you have dialed cannot be connected the moment.”
Did he turn off his phone?
Han Xue froze and her complexion turned even paler. Soon, a layer of cold sweat broke out all over her body.
She was a woman and although she usually put on a haughty front, she would still be as afraid as another woman in such a situation. She was very nervous and frightened. All she wanted was for someone to protect her, and for that person to tell her that she wouldn’t be arrested and that she was not guilty.
