The 99th Divorce - Chapter 1586

Chapter 1586: The Culprit Was Someone Else

Ye Youyou immediately understood. Her heart leapt for joy. She quickly followed the police officer out.

The police officer was very kind. He personally unlocked Ye Youyou’s handcuffs and allowed her to change her clothes and neaten herself up before taking her to see Li Jinnan.

Ye Youyou felt that she might be wrong, but at first glance, Li Jinnan seemed to have lost a considerable amount of weight. There were dark circles under his eyes. Her heart ached at the sight of it.

As she got closer, her steps instinctively relaxed. She looked at Li Jinnan. A smile appeared on his face. He quickly walked up to her. He opened his arms and enveloped her in a hug. The embrace was brimming with sincerity.

Ye Youyou suddenly felt as if she were in a dream. She quickly reached out to pinch his chest a few times before she was finally convinced that this was indeed real. She looked up and gazed at his chiseled face. The originally prominent lines on it had gotten even more obvious due to the incessant fatigue he had experienced.

Her eyes heated up, and her breathing grew heavy as she hugged him. She said, “Something bad almost happened to me just now. Someone wanted to cause me to miscarry.”

Li Jinnan’s heart ached as he held her tightly. He gently pecked her on the forehead with a kiss. He reassuringly said, “It’s all fine now. That person has been caught and locked up. She’s now undergoing interrogation. She was probably sent by Guan Yanhong. In any case, I believe we’ll have our answers soon.”

Ye Youyou felt even more aggrieved. With tears in her eyes, she pitifully asked, “Why does he want to do this to me? I’ve never done anything to him! Guan Queye’s disability and her death had nothing to do with me whatsoever!”

“Perhaps he harbors some misunderstanding toward you, but it’s all fine now. Don’t be afraid.” Li Jinnan’s heart uncontrollably ached.

Ye Youyou’s figure looked so tiny in front of him. It was almost as if she could snap in his arms.

During that past few days, she had lost at least five pounds. Her originally skinny face had grown even more sunken.

Ye Youyou leaned into his embrace. She looked to her left and right before asking in a small voice, “Why do they not have anyone to keep an eye on me? Aren’t they afraid that I’ll run away if they leave me here?”

The smile on Li Jinnan’s face disappeared when he heard that. He said, “Silly girl, don’t you know that you’ve been released?”

Ye Youyou was stunned when she heard that. She looked at Li Jinnan in disbelief as she asked, “Why?”

In the eyes of the public, she was a murderer. How could a murderer be released from prison? That… That was impossible!

“Is it because I’m pregnant? Do murderers go free just because they’re pregnant?” Ye Youyou asked with uncertainty. The moment she voiced the question, her brows shot together. “That doesn’t make any sense. Even on the basis of my pregnancy, at most I won’t be given the death penalty. But… but I’ll still have to serve my prison sentence. Why was I released? Did you do something?”

Li Jinnan shook his head. He looked at her and replied gently, “It’s because the culprit was someone else.”

Ye Youyou’s eyes widened. “The culprit was someone else? Who? Wasn’t it Guan Queye?”

“The truth is that Guan Queye probably committed suicide, but it’s hard to substantiate that fact with evidence.” Li Jinnan held Ye Youyou and replied, “However, if the culprit were someone else, that’d be easy to explain.”

When Ye Youyou heard that, she asked in astonishment, “You got someone to be my scapegoat?”
