Chapter 1027: She Was Interrogated
“Please calm down, Ms. Han,” the person interrogating Han Xue was a female officer who seemed very stern. She looked like she was in her thirties.
As a fellow woman, she didn’t treat Han Xue as politely as her male colleagues. Since Han Xue’s husband, Ye Hao had already instructed them to thoroughly investigate w.a.n.g Lan’s case, there was no longer any need to be wary about questioning her.
Han Xue’s hands curled into fists angrily. She was extremely angry that she had been called back for questioning.
“I’ve already told you everything,” Han Xue said as she scoffed. d.a.m.n it, how many times did they want to interview her? Why couldn’t they just let her be?
“Oh…” the female officer said and scoffed coldly. Then, her face immediately hardened as she stared straight at Han Xue. “Miss Han, I would suggest that you be a little more cooperative here. Haven’t you heard of people confessing under torture?”
“Would you dare to resort to such measures?” Han Xue asked with a laugh even as she clenched her fists even tighter to psych herself up. She kept telling herself not to be afraid and not to show any signs of fear. The police had become suspicious of her because she seemed way too nervous the previous time.
“Why wouldn’t I dare?” the female officer’s lips curled into a smile. She rose to her feet and walked up to Han Xue, then she walked two rounds around Han Xue.
She suddenly reached out and grabbed hold of Han Xue’s waist-length hair, and tugged it hard.
“Ah…” Han Xue shrieked.
“How dare you…” she clenched her jaw and her face immediately turned red because she was in such pain. She felt as though her hair had been pulled out of her scalp.
However, she couldn’t put up a struggle because she was seated in the interrogation room and obviously, it wouldn’t make a difference whether she struggled or not since this female officer could subdue her easily.
“How dare you hit me? Do you know who I am?”
“Mrs. Ye!” the female officer interrupted her coldly and tilted Han Xue’s chin up, forcing her to look at her. “Unfortunately, Mrs. Ye,” she said with a smile, “Mr. Ye found you extremely detestable after he heard the recording and found out that you tried to harm his unborn baby. He said that you only have yourself to blame and that your actions should be judged by the law.”
Han Xue froze in horror.
She felt as though someone had poured a pail of cold water over her. She felt very cold and she could feel the chill seep into her bones. Her body started shaking uncontrollably.
She finally managed to calm herself down 30 seconds later.
She still kept trying to tell herself to calm down.
“As I’ve said earlier, I’m not the person in the recording,” Han Xue immediately denied it. In any case, w.a.n.g Lan was dead, so there were no other witnesses. Since this recording wasn’t d.a.m.ning enough to be considered concrete evidence.
“Oh…” the female officer smiled mockingly.
“Miss Han, do you think you’ll be able to get away with this as long as you continue denying your crimes? We’ve already traced the deposit of $500,000 back to your account,” the female officer rose to her feet and asked angrily, “Do you still want to continue denying it?”
Han Xue was so frightened by the female officer’s sudden ferocity that her shoulders started to shake.
This female officer was simply terrifying. The two male police officers had treated her so kindly earlier, so she was surprised to see how fierce the female officer was.
“Han Xue, why don’t you tell me where w.a.n.g Lan is?” the female officer yelled so loudly that Han Xue felt as though her eardrums were about to burst.
She clenched her jaw and her veneer of calmness started to disintegrate by the minute.
“I don’t know,” she answered.
The moment she answered, she couldn’t help but think of the storage room in the yacht with the huge gla.s.s vat which contained….
