Chapter 190 Mutual Introductions

Ren Qingxue was clever; she even tried to shift all the blame onto Yu Li.

Unfortunately, her cleverness backfired.

The police didn't believe her story at all and only asked the key question: "When you were in the orphanage, did you give any child food?"

Ren Qingxue had never witnessed the methods of police interrogation before, and she immediately denied it, saying, "I didn't give them any chocolate!"

Given Ren Qingxue's intelligence, there was no need to ask any further questions; she easily extracted the information.

"We didn't mention chocolate just now, how do you know that the food was chocolate?"

Ren Qingxue's panicked eyes darted around. "I... I just guessed randomly, but I really don't know anything. I was indeed in the classroom for a few minutes at the time."

"But my sister thought I was in the way and told me to leave, so I left through the back door. As for what happened after that, I don't know anything."

The police then showed the surveillance photos, "Since you say you don't know anything about what happened afterward, why did you suddenly leave the orphanage at 2:35?"

"Well, that's because my mom called me and asked me to come back and buy a house with her. You guys don't know, my brother-in-law is really rich. He's going to buy me a villa."

Ren Qingxue looked smug, as if the villa was already a done deal.

The police were speechless. Although they already knew about the relationship between Qi Chenyan and Ren Qingxue, Qi Chenyan had made it clear before bringing Ren Qingxue over.

His wife did not have a harmonious relationship with his family.

Because her family of origin divorced when she was very young, and both her parents remarried, for Yu Li, having parents or not having parents makes no difference.

As for Ren Qingxue, her half-sister, there was even less contact between them. The police were told to just investigate freely, hoping to clear Yu Li's name.

Seeing that Ren Qingxue denied it, the police were not in a hurry, but instead produced a second piece of evidence.

It was that half-chocolate, wrapped in an evidence bag.

"After the child's accident, we found this half-eaten chocolate at the scene, and we also found your fingerprints on the chocolate's packaging."

"Didn't you say you didn't give them the chocolate? Then why are your fingerprints on this half of the evidence?"

Ren Qingxue panicked even more, but she still clung to the argument: "Maybe I accidentally touched it. There shouldn't be more than just my fingerprints on this chocolate, right?"

"Why are you so sure this chocolate is mine? Besides, I've only been to that orphanage twice, and I have no grudge against them. Why would I want to harm that child?"

However, although Ren Qingxue denied it, the fingerprints extracted from the chocolate packaging did not belong to Yu Li, indicating that the chocolate had no direct connection with Yu Li.

Ren Qingxue remained to be interrogated, but Yu Li was able to complete the formalities and leave early.

But after leaving the police station, Yu Li did not go straight home. Instead, she suggested to Qi Chenyan, "I'm still worried about Qianqian. The doctor said her condition is not good and she needs a heart transplant within a month, otherwise she may not make it."

Qi Chenyan understood Yu Li's worries and self-blame. Although this matter had nothing to do with her, Yu Li was, after all, a teacher in the classroom at the time, and failed to notice Qianqian's unusual behavior.

This is a vibrant life, and the child is so young, having barely seen the world. It would be such a pity if he were to leave this world because of this accident.

Qi Chenyan understood his wife's meaning perfectly. He patted her head and said gently, "Okay, I'll go with you to visit her."

*

Qianqian is still in the intensive care unit, and Deng Bailing didn't give Yu Li a friendly look when she first saw her.

"Senior Deng, how is Qianqian doing?"

Just as Deng Bailing was about to say that she didn't need to be so hypocritical, a clear and familiar voice rang out: "Teacher Deng."

When Deng Bailing saw Qi Chenyan standing next to Yu Li, her expression changed incredibly quickly.

From a cold expression, it suddenly turned into unexpected joy.

"Chen Yan, what are you doing here?"

Yu Li didn't care about Deng Bailing's attitude towards her, because when she wanted to invite Deng Bailing as a guest, she had already investigated Deng Bailing's personality and other information.

Deng Bailing is also known in the entertainment industry for her outspokenness; she really says whatever comes to mind, and given her status, no one dares to shut her up.

Such genuine character is indeed rare in today's public opinion environment where people are increasingly afraid to speak the truth.

Therefore, people who like Deng Bailing's personality will like her very much, but those who are targeted by Deng Bailing and have their secrets exposed by her in various ways will secretly hate her with a vengeance.

In fact, Yu Li quite likes Deng Bailing's personality; at least her joys and sorrows are directly expressed on the surface.

She felt that the chocolate matter was related to Yu Li, so she didn't hide it and asked her directly in front of her.

And, insisting on her position, she chose to report the matter to the police to thoroughly investigate it.

Although it's a bit extreme, it's better than shooting someone in the back.

Moreover, even Yu Li herself only belatedly realized at the police station that besides her, there was another persistent nuisance, Ren Qingxue, in the classroom.

It's no wonder that Deng Bailing felt the chocolate was hers, and that she was unwilling to admit it in order to avoid responsibility.

Since both sides have their own version of events, it would be better to call the police and let them investigate; that would be a clean and efficient solution.

To Yu Li's surprise, Deng Bailing also knew Qi Chenyan.

Moreover, the fact that Deng Bailing immediately beamed with joy upon seeing Qi Chenyan indicates that the two not only knew each other but were also quite familiar with each other.

Qi Chenyan also greeted Deng Bailing very politely and explained his purpose: "I am here with my wife to visit Qianqian."

One sentence made Deng Bailing's smile freeze. "You...wife?"

It was only after seeing Deng Bailing that Qi Chenyan realized that his wife had invited her as a guest for the next episode.

It was quite a coincidence that after Qi Chenyan realized this, he took Yu Li's hand and intertwined their fingers, fully demonstrating the sweetness of their marital relationship.

And then, in a solemn manner, he introduced Yu Li's identity to Deng Bailing.

"This is my wife, Yu Li. She currently works at Blue Sky TV and is an excellent host."

Yu Li couldn't help but look up at the man beside her.

When Qi Chenyan introduced her as his wife, he emphasized her identity as a news anchor.

This means that Qi Chenyan not only understood her intention to invite Deng Bailing to participate in the program, but also paved the way for Yu Li in her words.

This thoughtful gesture alone warmed Yu Li's heart.

Immediately afterwards, Qi Chenyan introduced Deng Bailing's identity to Yu Li.

"Teacher Deng Bailing is a national first-class singer, a lifetime honorary performer, and also the wife of my mentor Tang Zhongyi."
