Huo Nanchu nodded in understanding, and then left with Huo Jinning, who looked curious and eager to see what would happen.
After the Huo siblings stepped out of the room, Wang Bin took a deep breath, composed himself, and stepped back into the room alone.
He looked around but did not notice any signs of a fight.
A pot of steaming hot liquid sat on the dining table, but the air conditioning was off, and the windows were wide open.
However, the indoor temperature was slightly cool at the moment, which meant that the air conditioner had just been turned off.
Wang Bin carefully inspected the window and confirmed that there were no signs of it being pried open, indicating that they had entered through the front door.
Then he scanned the entire room again before finally returning to the body.
Based on preliminary observation, it can be determined that the deceased died from excessive blood loss caused by hitting the back of his head on the coffee table.
About half an hour later, there was a sudden sound of a door opening, followed by the sound of several people talking.
As Ye Lan stepped into the room, she immediately realized that something terrible had happened. Her face turned ashen with fright, her legs gave way, and she collapsed to the ground.
Her gaze involuntarily fell on Qian Chengfeng, hoping to get some comfort or guidance from him.
However, Qian Chengfeng simply extended his hand and made a shushing gesture without saying a word, and then gave her no further attention or response.
Everyone was stunned and speechless for a moment.
Compared to the others, Zhou Haoran's reaction was noticeably faster and more agile.
Without hesitation, he stepped toward the body, attempting to determine if the deceased still showed any signs of life so that he could take immediate first aid measures.
"Haoran, no need." Wang Bin gently shook his head.
Zhou Haoran nodded silently, slowly stood up, took a small step back to keep a certain distance from the body, so as not to disturb the scene.
Just then, law enforcement officers arrived at the scene.
Mr. Li quickly stepped forward and conducted a preliminary examination of the deceased's body.
After careful examination, they finally determined the cause of death: the deceased suffered a severe head injury, resulting in massive bleeding, and ultimately died from excessive blood loss.
Others conducted a thorough inspection of the scene.
Ye Lan was then taken back to the station for investigation, while the other unrelated people left the scene.
On her way to the bureau, Ye Lan was constantly engaged in a fierce internal struggle.
She kept thinking about whether she should expose Qian Chengfeng, but found that she seemed to have no evidence at all.
One of them must be Qian Chengfeng's subordinate, the mysterious figure who impersonated Zheng Ming.
However, Ye Lan did not know who this person was, nor did she know where he was at the moment.
Faced with such a predicament, Ye Lan felt lost and helpless.
Therefore, she chose to remain silent during the interrogation.
She even asked the police to let her go to the hospital for treatment, citing her pregnancy and physical discomfort.
She had only hoped to use this to buy time and avoid making a decision too early.
At the same time, Qian Chengfeng warned her and promised to send the best lawyers to defend her in the case.
Finally, having exhausted all other options, Ye Lan had no choice but to confess all the crimes she had committed.
After a court trial, Ye Lan was sentenced to life imprisonment for intentional injury and premeditated murder.
After everything settled down, Wang Bin secretly felt relieved.
If Huo Nanchu hadn't invited him to go together to avoid embarrassment, he would probably be unable to defend himself at this moment.
To Wang Bin's utter surprise, Ye Lan was so ruthless, completely disregarding the past friendship between Huo Nanchu and her companion. She was trying to kill Huo Nanchu, which shocked and terrified him.
"Anan, you've got some luck, kid. How did you manage to dodge that?"
After interrogating Ye Lan and learning what had happened, Wang Bin was genuinely worried for Huo Nanchu.
After hearing Wang Bin's words, Huo Nanchu smiled wryly and said, "Yes, it was indeed a close call... I didn't expect Ye Lan to turn out like this."
He couldn't help but let out a heavy sigh, his heart filled with deep emotion.
In truth, only Huo Nanchu himself knew that it wasn't because he was lucky enough to escape this calamity, but because of Ningning.
If he hadn't been able to hear Ningning's thoughts, he probably would have already fallen into the trap the other party had carefully set.
"Yes, I was quite surprised too. I felt sorry for you two when you broke up. But now it seems like it's a good thing."
"Anyway, I really owe you a lot for your help this time, Brother Bin. When I have time, I'll treat you to a meal to express my gratitude," Huo Nanchu sincerely thanked Wang Bin.
"Okay, sure."
Huo Nanchu also learned about the investigation results from Wang Bin, and had been wondering if Qian Chengfeng would be implicated.
Although he knew perfectly well that money-grubbing and cautious people would inevitably try to stay out of it and protect themselves.
But deep down, he still held a sliver of hope—that Ye Lan would confess, in a desperate situation, that the two of them had conspired together.
However, no miracle occurred.
Not long after, Ye Lan met an unexpected person in prison—Zheng Ming's ex-wife.
Through her conversation, Ye Lan learned that Zheng Ming had not come empty-handed, but had brought a will.
This will clearly shows that Zheng Ming left all his real estate, vehicles, and some of his savings to Ye Lan, and these assets together account for one-third of the total!
