In the interrogation room.
Gu Meng had already been brought over by Captain Zhu. She sat there for a while with her head lowered. Hearing footsteps, she looked up at the door.
Ye Qing came in hurriedly.
She rarely saw him so uneasy.
The moment he came in, he went forward and hugged her tightly.
Leaning against his firm chest, she felt a slight lump in her throat when she smelled his cold and charming breath.
He only let go of her after hugging her for a while.
He sized her up and asked hoarsely, “Did they make things difficult for you?”
When Captain Zhu heard Ye Qing’s words, his scalp turned numb.
Apart going through with the normal interrogation, there was no way they would dare to make things difficult for Miss Gu.
Especially since the butler in the Third Prince’s palace would call them every now and then to ask about her condition!
Gu Meng shook her head. “Captain Zhu and the rest are taking good care of me. You don’t have to worry.”
Ye Qing stared at Gu Meng for a while before he pulled her into his arms again and rested his chin on the top of her head. “Don’t worry, I won’t let anything happen to you.”
Gu Meng’s body stiffened slightly.
After being detained, she thought about it for a night, but she could not figure out who had tampered with the porridge. After all, she had never been touched from the time she had cooked porridge in the palace to the hospital.
Apart from the poisoned Gu Jiao!
Unless the murderer came out to confess personally, it would be hard for her to clear her name!
Gu Meng met with Ye Qing’s deep black eyes and said with red eyes, “I seem to always give you trouble…”
Before she could finish, his slender fingers pressed against her soft lips.
“Don’t say that again. Don’t worry, you’ll be able to get out very soon!”
Gu Meng did not know what method Ye Qing was going to use to help her get out, but when something happened to her, he did not give up on her and continued to accompany her. It moved her. She nodded. “Thank you.”
Ye Qing cupped Gu Meng’s face, his dark eyes as deep as a whirlpool, as if he wanted to suck her in. “When I lost my memories in the fishing village, you were the only one by my side. No matter what happened to me, you were loyal to me. Now, let me protect you.”
Gu Meng smiled and her eyes turned red.
Seeing the tears in her eyes, he lowered his head and kissed her eyes.
His thin and strong lips covered her eyelids, making her body tremble slightly. She wanted to push him away, but after raising her hands, she slowly put them down again.
His lips moved from her eyes to her cheeks and then to her lips.
Captain Zhu’s eyes widened when he saw the two of them kissing.
In his impression, the Third Prince was cold and abstinent, not someone who placed emotions above everything else. However, what happened with Miss Gu this time made him realize that it was not that he had not cared about emotions in the past, but that he had not met the right person.
…
After Ye Qing left the police station, he went to the Royal Hospital.
Several armed guards stood at the door of Father Gu’s ward. Seeing Ye Qing coming over, the guards bowed respectfully.
Ye Qing walked into the ward.
Mrs Gu sat on the sofa with disheveled hair, her face pale and her eyes red and swollen. When she saw Ye Qing coming over, she pounced toward Ye Qing like a beast that had been provoked.
“Mom, what are you doing?” Gu Che hugged Mrs Gu from behind.
Ye Qing looked at Mrs Gu, who was being hugged by Gu Che and had her teeth bared. He said with a cold expression, “If you want to find out who killed Gu Jiao, you’d better tell the truth. How did you adopt Gu Meng back then?”
Mrs Gu widened her eyes in disbelief. Ye Qing already knew that Gu Meng was not a child of the Gu family.
She and Mr Gu had kept this secret for more than twenty years.
It was only a while ago that she accidentally let it slip in front of Gu Jiao.
Gu Che, who was hugging Mrs Gu and not letting her get close to Ye Qing, was shocked. He said with a slightly trembling voice, “Mom, Sister isn’t yours and Dad’s biological daughter?”
Although he was shocked, when he thought about his mother’s attitude toward his sister all these years, Gu Che felt like everything fell in place.
Because his sister was not her biological daughter, she could hit and scold her whenever she wanted.
Gu Che was even more unhappy with Mrs Gu.
Mrs Gu did not dare to look into Ye Qing’s eyes, saying shakily, “I don’t know what nonsense you’re talking about. Gu Meng is my biological daughter…”
Before she could finish, Ye Qing interrupted her coldly. “Do you want to see the paternity test?”
Mrs Gu’s head drooped down. “Yes, she’s indeed not my biological daughter. My husband went out to sea to fish and picked her up. At that time, my husband and I had been married for many years and hadn’t gotten pregnant. The village kept gossiping about me not being able to get pregnant. After my man picked her up, I lied to the villagers and said that I had given birth to her while I was staying with my family.”
“When I picked her up, she had nothing on her. If there had been anything valuable, I wouldn’t have treated her like that. I raised her for so many years, but in the end, she was an ingrate and killed her sister…”
“Enough. Gu Jiao didn’t die because of her.” Ye Qing stared at Mrs Gu with his dark eyes. “If you dare to slander her again, I’ll send you to jail.”
Mrs Gu looked at Ye Qing’s dark expression and opened her mouth, wanting to retort, but she could only swallow her words.
…
Ye Qing rushed to Y Country that very night.
The President’s wife had been bailed out by the President from the investigation bureau.
Before Ye Qing arrived, he had contacted the President’s wife, who arranged for them to meet at a villa in the suburbs.
At the President’s wife’s request, Ye Qing went alone.
There were two rows of bodyguards standing outside the villa. They used a scanner to scan Ye Qing’s body and only let him in when they did not find a gun or listening device on him.
the President’s wife was sitting on the sofa in a silk cheongsam, brewing tea. She smiled when she saw Ye Qing, who was wearing a black coat, walking in. “The Third Prince really dared to come alone for his lover! Aren’t you afraid that you won’t be able to return tonight?”
Ye Qing sat on the sofa, crossing his long legs elegantly. “I didn’t come here to see the President’s wife silently. If I don’t return to the hotel within an hour, the secretary will take action!”
The President’s wife brewed the tea and brought a cup to Ye Qing’s table, the smile on her face deepening. “Since the Third Prince is willing to take the risk to come and see me, it means that he still can’t help Miss Gu get rid of the suspicion of killing her younger sister!”
His dark eyes narrowed dangerously. “The President’s wife wanted to silence her because she was afraid that Madam Dai Xuan would find out that her daughter wasn’t dead and return to the presidential palace to take back everything that belongs to her?”
The President’s wife’s fingers that were holding onto the teacup froze slightly, but she did not show any emotions on her face. She continued to smile. “Third Prince, if you want to save the woman you love, I have a way to help you.”
