Seated in the meeting room was Xiao Chun. She raised her head and looked towards Xu Weilai when she heard her.
Seated with her hands clasped together, her lips tightly pursed and her face reddened from all the crying.
Xu Weilai slowly walked over. She pulled out a chair and sat down facing her.
The room was filled with silence. None of them said anything for a moment.
Xiao Chun was still the one who couldn’t hold it in. She had already seen the news published by all the major media before she came. Everyone in the country should have known about this news by now.
But she refused to believe it unless she heard it firsthand from Xu Weilai.
No meaningless pleasantries were needed in the relationship between them. Xiao Chun locked her gaze on Xu Weilai’s face. She opened her mouth and went straight to the point. “Lil’ Weilai, did you really kill Yu with your own hands?”
Xu Weilai nodded. “Yes, I killed Gu Yu.”
Xiao Chun shook her head, showing she would not believe it even though Xu Weilai admitted to her crime. “I don’t believe it. Anyone could have done that but you.”
“I don’t believe that you would hurt Yu, just like how you wouldn’t believe that I would hurt you back then.”
They used to sit face to face like this once upon a time.
She steadfastly admitted to the crime of hurting her, but Xu Weilai refused to believe any of her words.
Now, she was in the same position.
She knew better than anyone else how much Xu Weilai loved Gu Yu. How could she have brought herself to kill Gu Yu? Moreover; it was so not Xu Weilai to do something like that.
Xiao Chun grabbed Xu Weilai’s hand. “Tell me, did someone coerced you into doing this? Are you having any difficulties?”
Xu Weilai shook her head. “Chunchun, I really killed Gu Yu.”
“What can’t you tell me? Lil’ Weilai, do you still treat me like a sister?” Xiao Chun’s eyes turned even redder as she got even more anxious.
Xu Weilai was silent for a moment before saying, “Chunchun, I’ll need you and Xu Shuai to take care of Grandpa from now on… and…”
There was no progress in the police investigation, even after a few days passed. However, the discussion over the internet continued unabated and had gotten out of hand.
The name of Xu Weilai and Gu Yu were frequently brought up. Gu Yu endured harsh commentaries and scoldings when the divorce happened. But now, he gained a lot of sympathies from the public because they wondered whether he divorced Xu Weilai because he could no longer stand an evil and terrifying woman like her.
But the crime they imposed on Xu Weilai was rather simple. Her hatred fed from her love for Gu Yu. She destroyed him because she could not have him. The voices scolding her got louder every day with all kinds of vicious words being used.
CEO Zuo initially wanted to control Xu Weilai with the video of her stabbing Gu Yu. But as the matter got bigger, not only could he not use Xu Weilai as a chess piece, she might even endangered him if the police investigations implicated him in any ways. Thus, he sent the video to the police stations anonymously despite Zuo An’s request.
The video clearly recorded Xu Weilai stabbing Gu Yu in the heart. Gu Yu had fallen and vomited blood. It was a conclusive evidence of her crime.
The police officers had to record Xu Weilai’s statement again when they had gotten the fresh evidence so that she could confirm she was the same person in the video and what she had done. They would initiate the prosecution process if she still stick to her words and admitted to the crime.
Xu Weilai sat down facing the police officer when she was brought into the confession room. Just as the police were about to speak, a knock came from the door. A colleague walked in and said, “A lawyer came for Miss Xu.”
