Chapter 431: Disaster After Disaster
Ye Ci picked up the phone.
“h.e.l.lo, Teacher Liu?”
“Miss Ye.” The other party’s voice came from the receiver. “There’s a problem with your overseas study procedure. I’m afraid it can’t be done for the time being.”
Ye Ci was stunned.
“What? What does this mean?”
“It’s like this. We found that you are now involved in a case of intentional injury. The police have already opened a case to investigate. Under such circ.u.mstances, your visa will not be approved.”
Ye Ci understood every word that the other party said, but when they were put together, she was dumbfounded.
“What case? Why don’t I know about it?”
“We don’t know much about this. Miss Ye, you should look into it yourself. I’m sure that this matter will be quite troublesome. However, if you manage to resolve it as soon as possible, you might still be in time. Otherwise, we can only apologize.”
In an official tone, the other person finished speaking and he hung up the phone.
Ye Ci was completely dumbfounded.
Su Yuan heard a bit of the content and could not help but frown.
“Lil Ci, what’s going on? What’s wrong with your overseas study procedures?”
Ye Ci shook her head.
“I don’t know either…”
Suddenly, a suspicion appeared in her mind.
–Liu Ying!
As if to verify her thoughts, her phone rang again.
Seeing the number displayed on the screen, Ye Ci’s heart skipped a beat.
Her whole body stiffened as she tapped the call b.u.t.ton.
“Excuse me, is this Ye Ci speaking?”
Ye Ci answered slowly.
“… I am.”
“h.e.l.lo, we are from the Yunzhou police station. Someone reported a case today, saying that you had intentionally injured someone and caused a miscarriage. So now, we would like to invite you to come to the police station to cooperate with the investigation.”
Ye Ci’s throat was dry.
“What intentional injury? I don’t know! Someone must have deliberately framed–”
The police officer’s tone was serious.
“The person who reported the case came with evidence, so please cooperate.”
This was a police summons, and she had no right to refuse.
Ye Ci almost thought that she heard wrong.
Evidence?
What evidence?
She hung up the phone in a daze, without fully realizing what had just happened.
Hadn’t her father said that he had already calmed Liu Ying down?
Why had such a thing happened now?!
“Mom…” She looked to Su Yuan in a panic.
Su Yuan had also heard the police’s words, and her expression did not look too good. She quickly went forward to comfort her:
“Don’t be afraid. That woman must be unwilling to give up and wants to harm you on purpose! I’ll accompany you to the police station. Nothing will happen, alright?”
As she spoke, she called Ye Ming again.
“This matter still needs to be settled with your father. I’ll let him know first.”
Hearing Su Yuan mention Ye Ming, Ye Ci felt slightly relieved.
Yes, no matter what, her father would definitely protect her!
“Okay.” She nodded in a panic.
This was the first time she had encountered such a matter. In addition, the fact that Liu Ying’s child was gone was indeed related to her, so she naturally felt guilty and afraid.
Du Du–
Su Yuan dialed, but Ye Ming did not pick up.
She called Ye Ming’s secretary again.
However, the call to his secretary was not picked up either.
“What’s going on?”
Su Yuan frowned as she looked at her phone. She was full of doubts.
Recently, even though her relations.h.i.+p with Ye Ming was still stiff, it was much better than before. Ye Ming would not have ignored her calls.
Even if he was busy, why was his secretary not picking up?
Su Yuan tried calling again, but the result was still the same.
This made her frustrated, so she put her phone away,
“Forget it, your father is probably busy right now. Mom will go to the police station with you first, and I’ll contact him later.”
Although Ye Ci felt uncomfortable, she could only do as she was asked to.
“Ye Ci.”
Ning Li suddenly called her.
Ye Ci subconsciously looked up and saw Ning Li’s cold eyes looking at her indifferently.
“I’m afraid I won’t be able to take it if you call me ‘sister’.”
The corner of her lips curved into an extremely faint smile, as if she was mocking her.
“You should take care of your mother yourself.”
Her voice was clear and indifferent, but it was like a sharp knife, accurately piercing Ye Ci’s heart!
Just a moment ago, she was still talking about going abroad to study and even asked Ning Li to “help” take care of Su Yuan.
However, she had immediately received a call from the agent for studies abroad, saying that she was afraid that she would not be able to complete the procedures.
She even had to go to the police station to be investigated!
She was extremely angry and resentful, as if there was a fire burning in her heart. However, her limbs were ice-cold and she could not even move.
It was as if an invisible hand had grabbed her ankle and pulled her into the abyss!
She could not break free. She could only watch as she slid down bit by bit, being swallowed by the endless darkness and despair!
…
Su Yuan accompanied Ye Ci to the police station.
Ye Ci was taken into the interrogation room while Su Yuan waited anxiously outside.
It was confirmed that Liu Ying had reported the case, but her physical condition was not good and she was still in the hospital.
At first, Su Yuan had not been that nervous. She thought that as long as Ye Ci said that everything that happened that day to Liu Ying had just been an accident, it would be fine.
However, after waiting for a long time, Ye Ci still had not come out.
Only then did Su Yuan become anxious.
She called Ye Ming again.
There was still no answer.
Soon, however, Ye Ming’s driver called.
Su Yuan was not in a good mood and her tone was very unpleasant.
“Old Zhang, what’s going on? I called a few times, but no one picked up?”
Old Zhang’s voice could not hide his nervousness and panic.
“Madam, it’s bad! The police came to the company today and took President Ye away!”
Su Yuan’s heart sank.
“What did you say?!”
“Besides President Ye, Secretary Zhou and the finance department were also taken away. It’s said that they are suspected of bribery!”
