Chapter 222: Chapter 0222: What I Hate Most is Someone Pointing a Gun at Me
"When faced with an invitation from a beauty, I never refuse," Ye Xunhuan said with a smile, "Gorgeous, wherever you want to go, I’ll take you there!"
With that, Ye Xunhuan directly opened the car door and got in.
It wasn’t that Ye Xunhuan didn’t want to refuse Wu Mei, but he knew that if he did, Wu Mei would definitely use forceful measures.
He didn’t want to get into a fight with Wu Mei, and he was also curious to see what the people from the National Security Bureau wanted with him.
Watching Ye Xunhuan’s calm expression, a strange light flashed in Wu Mei’s eyes, but she didn’t say much, just opened the passenger door and sat down.
Neither Ye Xunhuan nor Wu Mei noticed that at the moment they got into the car, Qiu Ruoxi slowly made her way to the parking lot.
Seeing Ye Xunhuan getting into the car with Wu Mei, a delicate and flawless face instantly became covered in frost: "Well, Ye Xunhuan, not only did you seduce Tang Yurou, but you also found another woman!"
"Do you really think I’m just for decoration as your wife?"
Saying that, Qiu Ruoxi pouted indignantly, looking incredibly adorable.
Just then, Ye Xunhuan started the car and left the parking lot. Seeing this, Qiu Ruoxi quickly walked to her car, opened the door, got in, and chased after them.
She was determined to see what Ye Xunhuan and this woman were up to, and just how many other women this bastard had found!
Ye Xunhuan drove to a teahouse selected by Wu Mei.
After entering the teahouse, they went straight into a private room. It was clear that Wu Mei had reserved the room in advance.
"Gorgeous, may I ask why you’re looking for me?" Ye Xunhuan asked with a grin, sitting across from Wu Mei: "Also, what exactly does the National Security Bureau do?"
Wu Mei didn’t speak immediately but stared at Ye Xunhuan for a moment before slowly starting, "Tell me, why murder?" 𝑛𝘰𝑣𝘱𝑢𝑏.𝘤𝑜𝘮
When Ye Xunhuan heard Wu Mei’s words, his heart tightened suddenly: "Gorgeous, what are you talking about? Murder? I’m a law-abiding citizen..."
"Don’t scare me, I’m quite faint-hearted..."
"Faint-hearted?" Wu Mei sneered: "Thirty-eight lives, cruelly taken by you, and you say you are faint-hearted?"
"Gorgeous, I... I really am faint-hearted, you... don’t scare me..." Ye Xunhuan looked at Wu Mei with a face full of terror.
"Where were you on the evening of the 7th this month?"
"I was at home!"
"Is that so?" Wu Mei sneered, "You didn’t go to the Yihao Mansion?"
"What’s Yihao Mansion?"
Wu Mei did not say much but directly took out her phone and threw it to Ye Xunhuan, "Have a look for yourself!"
Suspiciously, Ye Xunhuan picked up the phone, opened it, and immediately a video popped up into his view.
After seeing the video, Ye Xunhuan’s heart tightened slightly, and at that moment, he understood why the people from the National Security Bureau had come for him.
It made sense, though, since Ding Wanqiu’s case was connected with the Japanese and also involved the Mu family, it was only natural for the National Security Bureau to step in and investigate.
After all, it was their duty.
"This car is the one you just drove, isn’t it?" Wu Mei said calmly, "And the person in the video is also you, right?"
"But what does this prove?" Ye Xunhuan put the phone on the table, took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it for himself, and took a deep draw before saying, "Just because of this, you think I committed murder?"
"Based on the timing of Ding Wanqiu and others’ deaths and the parked car’s timing, there’s less than ten minutes in between. Do you think that’s a coincidence?"
"Why couldn’t it be a coincidence?" Ye Xunhuan exhaled a thick puff of smoke and said, "Are you suggesting that just because I parked there and something happened, you’re going to pin it on me?"
"Ye Xunhuan, you’re smart, really, very smart!" Wu Mei’s tone suddenly shifted, "And you didn’t leave any evidence at the crime scene that could point to you, but you overlooked one thing!"
"I don’t understand what you’re talking about!"
"I bet you never dreamed that the woman you let go would become the key witness to identify you!"
Although Ye Xunhuan showed no change on the surface, his heart sank greatly, filled with confusion.
He had clearly driven that woman mad, how could she possible come forward to identify him?
As if seeing through the doubts in Ye Xunhuan’s heart, Wu Mei spoke again, "That’s right, the woman went insane. Though we haven’t uncovered what method you used to turn a sane person into a madwoman..."
"Unfortunately, you forgot that even though a person can turn mad, a trace of subconscious impression still exists!"
"After several days of investigation and exploration, we showed her every person that appeared in that time frame, one by one," Wu Mei said measuredly, "she had no reaction to these people, but..."
Wu Mei’s voice changed abruptly, "When she saw you, she immediately fell to her knees, begging you not to kill her..."
Upon hearing Wu Mei’s words, a flash of realization crossed Ye Xunhuan’s mind.
At that moment, he finally understood why Wu Mei had been able to find him.
Indeed, the people from the National Security Bureau were not comparable to average police.
"To avoid targeting the wrong person, we questioned and reconsidered repeatedly, yet every time your figure appeared before her, her emotions became uncontrollably agitated and insane, she would just kneel down crying and begging you not to kill her..."
"You’ve said it yourself, she’s just a madwoman, how credible can her words be?"
"Sometimes, a madman’s words have more truth than those of a sane person."
"If that’s the case, why didn’t you just take me to the police station?" Ye Xunhuan extinguished the cigarette butt in his hand and said, "When all is said and done, you still lack sufficient evidence, otherwise, I’d be in handcuffs by now, right?"
"Police station?" Wu Mei sneered, "I’d like to see you locked up, but you’re too skillful, and I’m afraid a small police station couldn’t contain a fierce dragon like you!"
Suddenly, the atmosphere became tense, and a standoffish aura emerged.
With Wu Mei pointing a gun at his head, Ye Xunhuan’s face changed slightly: "You know what I hate the most? Someone pointing a gun at my head!"
