Chapter 283 Being grounded
“I don’t know.”
Xia Nuan’s mind was in a mess. Looking at the electronic remote controlling b.u.t.ton in Ye Sichen’s hands, she tried to recall everything that happened before.
Ye Sichen pinched her chin deeply and tightly. Xia Nuan felt extremely painful. She just felt the endless coldness surrounding her and the coldness came from Ye Sichen, who was used to be gentle.
“Ye Sichen, I suspect someone did it to frame me. Have you forgotten? There was an explosion before. The girl named Ou Guoguo blamed everything on me. What happened this time is almost the same as that of Ou Guoguo. Why did you still believe it?”
Hearing this, Ye Sichen hid the anger in his eyes, and became clear-headed gradually. He looked at Xia Nuan, being confused, too.
Xia Nuan seemed to find out something. She took a glance at Ge Li, who remained calm, and told her suspicion to Ye Sichen immediately, “I ran into Ge Li when I was playing ‘Hide and Seek’ with Wuyou and Nianci.”
Xia Nuan paused to observe how Ge Li reacted. But Ge Li showed no trace of panic, and frowned innocently, as if she had been deeply wronged.
“Mrs. Ye, I don’t understand what you mean. You schemed this explosion. Why do you get me involved?” Ge Li looked at Xia Nuan resentfully.
Ye Sichen took a glance at Ge Li seriously.
Ge Li had worked as a cook for several years. She was always diligent and loyal to him until she framed Xia Nuan last time. From then on Ye Sichen had not trusted her fully. But his mother Mrs. Ni trusted in her very much. In addition, Ge Li was the daughter of Uncle Meng Zuo, who was also loyal to Ni’s family, so Ye Sichen trusted in Ge Li again. But Ge Li was most loyal to Mrs. Ni and she might have framed Xia Nuan under orders…
“Ge Li, only you were near me apart from the children. When I was playing ‘Hide and Seek’ with them, you deliberately blocked my pace as if you ran into me. With my eyes covered, you put this b.u.t.ton into my pocket quietly. You schemed this all.”
Xia Nuan was sure that Ge Li did it to frame her.
But Ge Li denied firmly, “Shen An is nearer to you. Why do you not suspect him?”
Ge Li sneered, “I just remember that you and Mr. Ye got divorced, and you joined in Yuezhao Organization. You took the children away for the benefits of Yuezhao Organization. Maybe Shen An worked with you.”
“Shen An would never do that. You are the only one who wants to frame me.” Xia Nuan refuted.
Ge Li refuted back, “Why do you trust Shen An so much? You can’t suspect me without any proof. You are talking nonsense. I’m loyal to Mr. Ye. How can I do something to hurt him?”
“Maybe, you will not hurt Ye Sichen. But you may want to hurt the children.”
Hearing this, Ge Li was a little panicky. But she restrained it and still denied.
“Get the monitor.” Ye Sichen turned back and ran into Ken.
“Mr. Ye, the wire of monitor was burned so it can’t be watched.” Ken brought the bad news.
Ye Sichen was fretful.
Ge Li felt relieved.
Xia Nuan caught that, and her resentment grew.
“Ye Sichen, the b.u.t.ton is not mine. You can’t let me admit what I haven’t done.” Xia Nuan said one word at a time, feeling sad.
Ge Li said, “Mr. Ye, even if I wanted to frame Mrs. Ye, I wouldn’t do it in such a terrible way. I won’t hurt you and your children even if I am going to the extreme.”
Ge Li said righteously.
“We found something in the car.”
A safeguard came up and reported it to Ye Sichen.
Ye Sichen motioned for him to continue.
The safeguard glanced at Xia Nuan, and said, “Please follow me, Mr. Ye.”
Ye Sichen following the safeguard walked towards Xia Nuan’s car. Then the safeguard pointed at the seat behind the co-pilot seat. On the seat was a lady’s handbag.
Ye Sichen recognized it at first glance. It was Xia Nuan’s handbag.
“This is Mrs. Ye’s. This was found next to her handbag.” The safeguard pointed at something.
Ye Sichen took it and observed. It was an electronic remote controlling b.u.t.ton. He angrily closed his eyes and gritted.
Even if it was a few meters away from Ye Sichen, Xia Nuan still felt the terrifying coldness around him.
Her heart sank again.
His steps sounded merciless. Xia Nuan felt heartbroken.
Ye Sichen pinched something, and walked towards her before she was prepared to face the situation.
The small b.u.t.ton was thrown into Xia Nuan with a sound of crash. Then it fell down on the floor.
Xia Nuan felt her heart broke into pieces.
“Who put this in your bag when you were out of attention? Why are you always framed by others? You are the most innocent one in the world?” Ye Sichen raged when he saw Xia Nuan was speechless. He seized her arm violently and pulled her into his arms.
He was in a rage, while she was drowned in sorrow.
“I need an explanation. Are you speechless?” Ye Sichen seized more tightly.
“No. I didn’t do that!” Xia Nuan struggled, with a harsh voice.
“These two b.u.t.tons were found from you. You want to deny these all? It’s you who put the detonators in the toys and musical box!”
“No!” This was the only word she could speak. She could not defend herself with any kind of proof.
She was unable to argue. No matter how she denied, Ye Sichen would not believe her.
“I’m the mother of Wuyou, Nianci and Ansheng. I will never hurt them. As for these objects, I don’t know where they come from. Maybe someone did it on purpose! Ye Sichen, you know me…”
“I do know you. You are one of Yuezhao Organization, the daughter of Mrs. Baili, and the heiress of Yuezhao Organization.”
“What are you saying?” Xia Nuan looked at Ye Sichen ignorantly, but did not react immediately.
“You know what I’m saying.” Ye Sichen threw a hint to the safeguards, and they carried her away.
“Lock her up. Don’t allow her to leave.” He wanted to subst.i.tute Xia Nuan for his three children.
Xia Nuan looked absent-minded. Her vision blurred. The back of Ye Sichen was blurred in her view.
At that time, Xin Zi and Jia Ni suddenly got rid of control of Ye Sichen’s staff. They stepped forward to stop Ye Sichen.
“Mr. Ye, Ms. Xia is not that kind of person. Someone must have framed her. Please don’t lock her up.”
“If you are determined to do that, we will call for police to accuse you of illegal detention!”
Xin Zi and Jia Ni said one by one.
Ye Sichen sneered, his eyes resting on Xia Nuan’s appalled face for a second.
“Not only your Ms. Xia, you two will also be restrained.” Right after Ye Sichen finished, Xin Zi and Jia Ni were blocked by two safeguards.
Seeing this, Xin Zi and Jia Ni took weapons out simultaneously to against Ye Sichen.
Xia Nuan was nervous.
“Mr. Ye, if you don’t set Ms. Xia free, we will fight!”
Xin Zi had already squeezed the trigger.
Xia Nuan gasped.
“Xin Zi, put down your gun!” She was worried that Xin Zi would shoot at Ye Sichen impulsively.
Xin Zi and Jia Ni always obeyed Xia Nuan’s orders, but this time they ignored her because Ye Sichen wanted to block her up. Their duty was to safeguard her against danger. So, they had to turn against Ye Sichen.
“Ms. Xia, you can’t be soft-hearted.”
Jia Ni held weapon against Ye Sichen.
Ye Sichen turned around steadily, and walked towards Xia Nuan coldly, “Many people want me to die. But I didn’t expect you are one of them.”
Tears blurred Xia Nuan’s eyes, and few words were squeezed out from her throat, “No, that’s not true…”
“That’s right, you are the heiress of your b.l.o.o.d.y Baili’s family. Is there anything you are afraid to do?” Ye Sichen sneered, raised Xia Nuan’s chin and then loosend her. He walked towards Xin Zi and Jia Ni afterwards.
Xin Zi and Jia Ni stepped back. They felt hard to breathe under Ye Sichen’s strong temperament.
They pressed fingers at the same time but failed to shoot. There were no bullets in the guns.
It turned out that their weapons were quietly replaced by Ye Sichen’s staff.
At that time, both of their hands were controlled. Their weapons fell down on the floor, and their hands were tied up by Ye Sichen’s staff.
Xia Nuan’s legs softened, and she knelt on the ground, begging Ye Sichen, “Ye Sichen, I beg of you to let them go. You can do anything to me!”
Ye Sichen turned back and went straight towards the villa, as if he did not hear anything. Ge Li snorted at Xia Nuan.
Xia Nuan pinched her hands. The hatred spread.
Xin Zi and Jia Ni were sent into the police station for deliberate maiming. Xia Nuan was locked up in a dark room. She had hoped that Xin Zi and Jia Ni would help her investigate something outside, but now she was isolated and cut off from the outside world.
Xia Nuan languished in the darkness and spent a day like a year. Ye Sichen came every night, but he just stayed for a while and said nothing.
Xia Nuan did not want to say more. Even if she explained for countless times, Ye Sichen would not believe her. So, why wasted time?
Staring at the moonlight outside the window, Xia Nuan smiled miserably.
“Why are you smiling?”
Ye Sichen’s voice rose, sounding like a ghost.
