All the guests in the banquet hall looked at Bo Cixue and Gao Tai.
A socialite who was familiar with Bo Cixue stood up and said, “I believe Cixue wouldn’t do such a thing.”
“Yes, I believe Cixue too.”
Sun Ji ig nodded. “Cixue and I are high school classmates. I know her character very well. She loves small animals and has done a lot of charity work. It’s impossible for her to poison Mrs Gao.”
Gao Tai could not listen to anyone and his red eyes landed on Bo Cixue like arrows. “She has a deep conflict with Yiren and has long disliked her…”
Bo Cixue interrupted Gao Tai with a cold expression. “Do I have to be so stupid to put the medicine into the champagne I’m going to drink?”
“Then you can clear your name!”
Bo Cixue looked at the investigator. “I’m willing to go back with you. I didn’t harm her. I’m not afraid.”
Gao Tai said with red eyes, “You’re the Crown Prince’s girlfriend now and your father is General Bo. Even if you’re taken away, they can prove that it’s not you…”
She said it like she was the one who had killed Ye Yiren.
“I’m going to make you confess here today!”
Nan Xun glared at Gao Tai like he was looking at a retard. “The investigators haven’t even convicted Cixue yet, but you’re still insisting that she harmed your wife. If you’re so good, why don’t you go to heaven?”
Gao Tai glanced at Nan Xun with a dark expression. “I don’t care who you are. You have to give our Gao family an explanation today. I’ll call my parents-in-law now.”
No one in the banquet hall dared to say anything.
Just then, the door to the banquet hall was pushed open.
A cold figure walked in with heavy steps. The man was wearing a tailored black suit, his perfectly ironed suit pants wrapped around his long legs. The outline of his face under his short black hair was cold and his dark eyes were like the sea at night, so deep and dark that no one dared to look at him.
With his arrival, the surrounding air seemed to turn colder.
Bo Cixue did not notice the situation at the door and only knew that Ye Jie had come when Nan Xun whispered in her ear.
Bo Cixue’s eyes filled with tears when she saw Ye Jie striding over with an extraordinary aura.
She could not explain her feelings at this moment.
She did not harm Ye Yiren. She was sure that there would be no problem even if she went back with the investigators.
However, she was only a girl in her early twenties. She would more or less be afraid if her love rival who kept jumping around in front of her was suddenly poisoned to death.
‘Together with the doubts and questioning from Gao Tai and some people in the banquet hall, the grievance, fear, bitterness in her heart expanded infinitely. However, she had always been good at hiding her emotions, so she did not let herself show her fragility.
‘The moment she saw Ye Jie, she was like a floating duckweed that suddenly had someone to rely on.
Those who knew Ye Jie would be able to tell that he was angry.
Although there was no fluctuation of emotions on his handsome and cold face, his deep black eyes exuded a sharp and cold light, making people not dare to look at him directly.
Nan Xun gave up his seat and Ye Jie walked to Bo Cixue’s side.
As if he did not see the countless gazes directed at him in the banquet hall, he looked down at her, his voice low and gentle. “What happened?”
‘When his car stopped at the entrance of the Sun family’s villa, he saw the investigator’s car and vaguely guessed that something had happened here, but he did not know the details.
Bo Cixue looked at the concern and gentleness in his eyes and the tears in her eyes deepened. She sniffed and told him about Ye Yiren’s murder.
Before she could finish, he pulled her into his arms.
Seeing him pull her into his arms, many people in the banquet hall were shocked.
Almost everyone in the capital knew that Bo Cixue had liked Ye Jie since she was young.
Similarly, almost everyone knew that Ye Jie only treated her as his younger sister.
But they only knew a small part of what happened after they became lovers.
Some of them felt that it was a rumor.
But what did they see now?
‘The Crown Prince, who had always been cold, abstinent, noble and indifferent, actually hugged Bo Cixue in public.
A socialite discussed softly, “They were childhood sweethearts and the Crown Prince only protected her as his younger sister. Such a hug is actually nothing!”
If hugging was nothing, what about Bo Cixue leaning into Ye Jie’s arms and him kissing the top of her head?
Even a younger sister would not kiss her so lovingly in public!
Ye Jie caressed Bo Cixue’s long hair and looked up at the investigator, not even glancing at Gao Tai from the corner of his eye. “The evidence points to Cixue now?”
The investigator nodded and told Ye Jie about the fingerprint.
Ye Jie’s expression was calm. “Which hand and finger?”
“Right thumb, index finger and middle finger.”
Ye Jie nodded, his voice deep. “Are the fingerprints intact?”
“Tm fine.”
“The murderer is definitely not Cixue.” Ye Jie’s eyes were dark and his expression was calm and cold. He did not have much emotion, but the aura he exuded was like a sharp blade out of its sheath. “Her right index finger was injured a few days ago. The fingerprints on the cup were deliberately placed by
someone to frame her.”
The investigator was about to say that he wanted to see Bo Cixue’s index finger when he met Ye Jie’s dark eyes and could not help but shiver.
The investigator understood what Ye Jie meant almost immediately.
He turned to look at Sun Jingjing. “Miss Sun, this is a serious matter. Please prepare a private room for us.”
Seeing that the investigators did not check if Bo Cixue’s finger had really been injured, Gao Tai was about to check it himself when a tall figure suddenly blocked him.
Ah Zuo said sternly, “With His Highness around, we will definitely find out who killed Miss Ye. Young Master Gao, please wait patiently.”
Bo Cixue was pulled into the room Sun Jingjing had prepared. The room was in the guest room on the first floor. After entering, the investigator asked her to reach out her hand.
Bo Cixue’s heart was thumping and she did not understand Ye Jie’s thoughts. However, he would not harm her and she reached out her finger obediently.
Her fingers were not injured and she knew that the fingerprints on the glass must have been left by her holding the champagne glass.
Bo Cixue pursed her lips tightly and her heart beat faster. She looked at Ye Jie in confusion and Ye Jie gave her a reassuring look.
Bo Cixue nodded and said nothing.
The investigator looked at Bo Cixue’s fingers and said, “He was indeed injured. It’s impossible to have a complete fingerprint before the wound is healed.”
The investigators called in Miss Li, who had first found out about Ye Yiren’s death..
