Chapter 112 Return to the Capital
Mr. Bai almost lost his life here. He was furious and insisted on calling the police to investigate, as this was suspected murder.
He checked the surveillance footage and found many people walking up and down the stairs, and finally the cleaners passed by there.
They couldn't have dinner because the police came to the mall to investigate and the three of them went to the police station to record their statements.
Yu Yin’s plane ticket was refunded and she is not sure about her return date.
The police acted quickly, and within two days they told them they had identified a suspect, Tong Mai. Tong Mai was easily the focus of the investigation because she had been in prison, had a criminal record, and had only just been released.
The police suspected that Tong Mai was coming for Xiang Yue. Now Tong Mai has also been arrested and is staying in the police station.
Xiang Yue went to the police station again, and Yu Yin accompanied her.
The police asked Xiang Yue, "Do you and Tong Mai have any past grudges?"
Xiang Yue said: "Tong Mai and I were roommates in college. When we met in Lincheng this time, I originally wanted to say hello to Tong Mai, but then I found out that she was avoiding me, so I didn't go over..." Xiang Yue talked in detail about their previous grievances and the two times she met Tong Mai in Lincheng.
Xiang Yue and Yu Yin came out of the police station. She said in frustration, "If I had known she was so petty, I would have pretended she didn't exist and wouldn't have even glanced at her. Is she sick? She wants to kill me just because of this little speculation. She's even implicated you and Mr. Bai. I'm worried Mr. Bai won't want to cooperate with us anymore because of this."
Yu Yin comforted Xiang Yue: "We are fine. We are lucky to be alive. Even if this project fails, there will be another one. Don't worry about it."
"But you and I have already finished the work. If the project falls through because of her, I'll kill her."
Although Xiang Yue was very scared at the time, she was not injured, so she didn't feel much after the shock passed. However, she had worked hard for so many days and devoted her heart and soul to this project. If this project was lost, she would be depressed for a long time.
Xiang Yue then asked Yu Yin, "I remember you worked in the same company as her. Do you know why you were in jail?"
Yu Yin then told Xiang Yue about what happened a few years ago. She didn't want to talk about those frustrating days in the past.
At the time, Xiang Yue was studying abroad, and Mo Qianyao, driven by her boss's promise, had ambitiously moved to a branch office in another city, leaving Yu Yin behind in the capital. The three of them were separated, and less informed about each other's news. Yu Yin, not wanting to implicate them, kept silent and later severed contact.
………
Yu Yin returned to the capital a week later than originally scheduled.
Before going back, Yu Yin and Xiang Yue went to Mr. Bai's house to apologize, saying that this matter had implicated him and frightened him.
Mr. Bai was a generous person who didn't pay attention to trivial matters. He didn't blame Xiang Yue for the incident. He believed that Xiang Yue was the victim and there was no reason to blame the victim instead of the perpetrator who actually did something wrong.
On the plane, Yu Yin was approached by someone and she inadvertently showed him her ring. The man knew the difficulty and backed off and stopped talking to her.
Yu Yin admired the wedding ring carefully. It was really a great weapon to ward off romantic opportunities. After thinking about it, she decided not to take the ring off, so as to avoid some random approaches.
Suddenly, Yu Yin looked closer at her wedding ring and noticed it was scratched. Thinking carefully, Yu Yin realized that she must have grabbed the handrail too hard and accidentally scratched it. She later asked Yu Meimei to take the ring to her for maintenance.
After the plane landed, Yu Yin went straight back to Hushan Villa.
Before going upstairs, Yu Yin asked Sister Hong, "Is the master home?"
"Upstairs." Sister Hong added, "Mr. has been coming back more frequently lately."
When Zhao Shunian first came home, the first thing he said to Sister Hong was, "Is my wife home yet?" After asking twice, Sister Hong would automatically ask if my wife was home without him asking.
Yu Yin looked upstairs. Was Zhao Shunian so free recently? She remembered that he was very busy at the end of the year.
Yu Yin thought about it for a while. If Zhao Shunian didn't mention what happened in the office when he saw her, she would pretend nothing happened and get along with him as usual.
She felt that Zhao Shunian was such a proud man that he would not repeat it a second time after saying he was rejected once, and it was very likely that he would just pretend nothing happened.
Yu Yin went upstairs and entered the bedroom first. She opened the password cabinet and wanted to find an empty box to put the ring in. She couldn't remember what the box that held the ring looked like last time because it was almost a year ago.
Yu Yin opened a few boxes casually. When she opened one of them, she was stunned. She hadn't opened this box for a long time and had forgotten that it contained the diamond hairpin given by Ye Fengjia.
But no matter how long she hadn't opened it, she still remembered that the hairpin was intact, not in the tattered state it is now.
Apart from Zhao Shunian, Yu Yin couldn't think of anyone else who would do such a thing.
She didn't expect that Zhao Shunian still remembered that she was wearing a hairpin on her head and knew the origin of the hairpin, so she didn't hide it very well.
Yu Yin really doesn't like others touching her things and breaking them!
What really infuriated Yu Yin was that Zhao Shunian had discovered it. Without questioning her or giving her a chance to explain, he had silently smashed it and put it back together. If Zhao Shunian's action wasn't a test, what was it? He was accusing her of something.
Yu Yin suddenly understood why Zhao Shunian had been returning home so frequently during this period. He wanted to see when she, the suspect, would return home and discover the secret in the box so that he could convict her.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She could no longer bear it, so she did as Zhao Shunian wished.
Yu Yin walked out of the room and saw Zhou Yi, "Take me to find your master."
On Monday, he took Yu Yin to the door of the study. Yu Yin opened the door without knocking and saw Zhao Shunian sitting at the desk, as if he was in a video conference.
Yu Yin wouldn't argue with him in front of so many people in this kind of situation. With a loud bang, Yu Yin slammed the door shut.
Zhao Shunian's face instantly darkened, and the air he exuded was even colder than the winter in the capital. As soon as she returned home, she hadn't even changed out of the clothes she wore outside when she realized it was great.
In the conference room on the other end of the video, the department head was reporting on the progress of a key project when he suddenly noticed Zhao Shunian's face was grim and angry. The usually steady leader became uneasy, and his report was a little halting.
"If anyone else isn't ready, I'll be in the conference room tomorrow for your continued briefing. That's all for today."
Zhao Shunian was no longer in the mood to listen. What they said did not enter his mind at all. He felt that it was unnecessary to waste everyone's time and energy.
During this period of time, he felt like every day was a year and was in great torture. He wanted Yu Yin to come back soon and find out, but he also hoped that she wouldn't find out. At this moment, every second felt like a year.
The person in charge looked at the black screen, touched his forehead, and found no sweat, but why did he feel sweaty? The heads of other departments stood up, patted him on the shoulder, and then left the meeting room.
He was thinking about how he would get through that scene tomorrow...
