“Let’s go.”
Li Zhiwei was brought to the police station for interrogation. She appeared to be solemn and cooperative, giving an honest account of the incident. It was no different from what Li Bai had said.
“Qingcang, do you believe her story?”
Ye Tianxin was looking at the confessions from both Li Zhiwei and Li Bai. Both of them matched, with no major discrepancies between them.
“What do you think?”
Li Qingcang stretched out his hand and patted her head gently.
Since their plan to lure the mastermind out started, Li Hezheng and Li Zhiwei’s actions did not seem normal.
Li Hezheng had voluntarily handed over the wealth that his family had acc.u.mulated over the past years, while Li Zhiwei also identified Li Bai as a spy. These two accounts made the Li family seem suspicious.
“By the way, Qingcang, did you manage to find out who was upstairs last night?”
Ye Tianxin could not figure out why the man had fired his gun that night. She was even more puzzled as to why he had fired the shot so late. He had the perfect opportunity to kill Li Bai, but he didn’t. What a waste!
Li Qingcang placed the two confessions on the table.
Li Qingcang reminded Ye Tianxin, ‘Let’s go. You have something to do today.”
“Oh, right. I have to go home.”
It suddenly occurred to Ye Tianxin that she barely slept the night before and did not change her clothes. It seemed inappropriate to go home looking like that.
“Tll bring you home to change first.”
“all right.”
The Li residence was usually very quiet during the day. A servant, who was cleaning the floor, looked up when he heard Li Qingcang and Ye Tianxin. “Young Master, you’re home.”
Li Qingcang nodded to acknowledge him before heading upstairs with Ye Tianxin.
‘Wu Tong was not at home. She was a very considerate prospective mother-in-law. She had prepared a few sets of clothes in the bedroom.
“Tianxin, go take a shower first. I will pick out some clothes for you.”
As he was speaking, Li Qingcang handed Ye Tianxin a towel. Ye Tianxin walked into the bathroom and closed the door.
Ye Tianxin stared into the mirror. There were heavy eyebags on her face from lack of sleep. Staying up late at night was unhealthy for any woman. She was so worn out now.
Ye Tianxin tumed on the shower and started taking off her clothes before getting into the bathtub. The heat from the warm water made her feel very drowsy. She sat in the bathtub and poured out some shower gel. She closed her eyes and gradually drifted to sleep while was.h.i.+ng herself, Soon, water was
overflowing from the bathtub and had spilled over from the side.
“Tianxin, are you there?” Li Qingcang stood outside the bathroom and called out to Ye Tianxin.
There was no sound from the bathroom. Li Qingcang was wondering if YeTianxin had fallen asleep.
As he pushed opened the door, hot water started flowing out from the bathroom.
Li Qingcang rushed in and saw Ye Tianxin sound asleep in the bathtub. He quickly carried her up, wrapping her tightly with the towel. Her whole body was flushed red and felt hot.
Ye Tianxin let out a soft cough and opened her eyes. She was in a daze.
“Qingcang, what happened?”
Li Qingcang carried Ye Tianxin into the bedroom and placed her on the bed. Her long hair was all wet and dripping.
Li Qingcang pursed his lips and looked intently at Ye Tianxin. He said to her in a low voice, ‘Get some sleep. I’ll dry your hair.”
