The Problem with Marrying Rich: Out of the Way, Ex - Chapter 1028

Chapter 1028: She Was Interrogated (2)

Han Xue shivered when she remembered something.

The police officer noticed her flustered reaction and also saw the guilty look on her face.

“Go on, did you hire someone to kill her?” the female officer said as she moved a stool to sit in front of Han Xue and crossed her legs. She looked more like a gangster rather than a police officer.

Han Xue’s palms started to sweat and cold sweat also appeared on her forehead. She pursed her lips and stared at the table nearby. She didn’t even dare to look at the female officer.

“No, I did not,” she said as she denied her involvement again.

She didn’t how how she should respond when she was questioned by police officers but she knew that she couldn’t admit her guilt nor show any signs of weakness or she would end up in jail.

The female officer warned her coldly, “Han Xue, you should tell the truth. I’m sure you know that you will be able to get a more lenient sentence if you tell the truth. If you tell us the truth now, your sentence might be reduced by two years but if we discover that you have been lying, you will receive a harsher punishment.”

The female police officer emphasized the words and issued a threat through gritted teeth.

She watched as Han Xue’s hands trembled after she issued the thread.

The female police officer scoffed coldly. As expected, the best method to get Han Xue to confess was to threaten her.

Han Xue bowed her head but she continued to insist, “I don’t know anything about this. I swear I don’t know where Wang Lan is. I admit that I had harbored bad intentions and tried to bribe her but I didn’t manage to bribe her, just as you heard in the recording. I’m only a woman, so I can’t harm her. You’ve got the wrong person. I have nothing to do with Wang Lan’s disappearance.”

Han Xue’s voice was very soft and this time, she finally said several sentences. She had no experience in conducting investigations and thus she wasn’t aware of how much information she had revealed earlier.

She had admitted that she had tried to bribe Wang Lan three years ago in order to harm the baby He Xiyan had been carrying. However, Wang Lan did not carry out what she had been paid to do. She also hinted to the police that she wouldn’t be able to do anything to Wang Lan since she was only a woman but she could hire someone else to do the deed.

The police could even tell what kind of person Wang Lan was from Han Xue’s words.

“Oh…” the female officer said with a laugh.

“That’s right. Miss Han, your hands seem very slender and smooth so I doubt you have ever gotten your hands dirty. If you get in a fight with Wang Lan, you will definitely not be able to beat her,” the police officer said.

Han Xue didn’t know how to respond.

She froze in surprise and she was surprised that the police officer would say such words. Then, she looked at the police officer in confusion.

She finally figured out that she might have said too much earlier.

Ye Yi had already warned her that she was bound to reveal something if she spoke too much. What exactly did she reveal earlier?

“I swear I don’t know where Wang Lan is,” Han Xue hastily said. Then, she bowed her head and coughed to comfort herself.

The police officer acknowledged her words. There was also a camera in the interrogation room, so the investigation team was able to see what was happening inside the room.

Han Xue was completely oblivious to the fact that her husband-in-name Ye Hao was standing in a nearby office watching her interrogation process.

Ye Hao shook his head in disbelief and the anger in his face turned into disgust and sadness.

He couldn’t believe that the woman in the room who was putting on an act to cover up her obvious guilt was a woman he had once loved.
