Chapter 400: Chapter 399: Why Did You Provoke Her!
Jiang Nanshu felt utterly baffled when she heard the news.
How could Xu Xingwan have died without any warning, in the sea?
In the end, it was only after her body washed ashore that she was discovered; the police were able to reach Bao Yan through a necklace found on Xu Xingwan, which Bao Yan had custom made with their initials engraved on it.
And instead of going shopping with Xu Xi, Jiang Nanshu was now compelled to enter the police station, just because the surveillance footage showed she had seen Xu Xingwan before she disappeared.
The police looked at Jiang Nanshu sternly, “Miss Jiang, please come with us to the interrogation room. Our conversation will be recorded. I will ask questions, and you must answer truthfully.”
Xu Xi was extremely anxious, quickly stepping in front of Jiang Nanshu: “Officer, my Jiangjiang would never harm anyone. Xu Xingwan’s death has nothing to do with her; please let her go.”
The police looked helplessly at Xu Xi, “Miss, we are not going to do anything to Miss Jiang. We just have a few simple questions, and her statement will help us with our investigation.”
Jiang Nanshu held Xu Xi’s hand, “Xixi, it’s okay, just wait for me here. I’ll be out soon.”
Jiang Nanshu knew she was innocent, she was too idle to kill Xu Xingwan.
The interrogation room that Jiang Nanshu entered was very quiet, enclosed on all sides, it naturally produced psychological pressure and tension.
Jiang Nanshu sat down, the police officer’s expression softening, “Don’t be nervous. I just have a few questions for you. First, why did you meet Xu Xingwan that night?”
Jiang Nanshu calmly responded, “I was going to the restroom, and she was waiting by the door for me to come out, then suddenly wanted to talk.”
The officer quickly jotted down, “What did you talk about?”
“She asked me to persuade my husband to ease up on Bao Family because the business pressure was wearing Bao Yan out. I didn’t want to meddle, so I refused.”
“Is that all? Anything else?”
Jiang Nanshu thought carefully, “Oh, there was also this, Bao Yan, the scum, has a wife at home, yet keeps Xu Xingwan as a mistress on the side. I mentioned it, but even if I hadn’t, she knew it herself. After so many years, she wouldn’t wait for me to say something to choose to die, right?”
Xu Xingwan had been the mistress for three years already, and all three of them knew this. Jiang Nanshu didn’t think her words would make Xu Xingwan contemplate suicide.
If she were that fragile, she would have died years ago. No need to wait till now.
The policeman paused speechlessly for a moment.
Continuing, he asked, “What was the deceased’s emotional state when you left?”
Jiang Nanshu thought again, “I didn’t pay attention, there probably weren’t any significant emotional fluctuations.”)
How could she notice so much?
The policeman sighed internally.
This wealthy family really is a mess.
They didn’t want to deal with this kind of issue, hearing deep dark family secrets was enough, let alone contend with their complicated nature, but now that a life was lost, they had to uncover the truth.
The policeman put away his pen, “Alright, I understand. We will summon you if there’s a follow-up. You can go now.”
Next, they would have to question Bao Yan.
To see how his statement differed from Jiang Nanshu’s and derive truths accordingly.
Seeing Jiang Nanshu come out unscathed, Xu Xi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
“What did the police ask you? Are you okay?”
Jiang Nanshu shook her head, “It’s fine, but I still don’t know if Xu Xingwan’s death was a suicide or homicide.”
Xu Xi sniffled, her voice somewhat muffled, “The day before yesterday, in the early morning, Wanwan suddenly sent me a message. She said she was going to start a new life… but I didn’t see it. I don’t know what she meant by that. The next day when I woke up, I congratulated her and asked where she was, but she never responded again.”
“I…” Xu Xi choked up with a sob, “Jiangjiang, is it my fault that Wanwan died? I didn’t know it would turn out like this, I didn’t know she would die, I really didn’t know, if I had known… if I had known, I wouldn’t have slept last night, I would have stopped her, because tomorrow I am anchoring the news, I memorized the script for a long time to avoid mistakes, I was too tired and fell asleep. Will she regret that I didn’t reply to her message? Wuu wuu wuu, I blame myself so much.”
She hugged Jiang Nanshu, sobbing.
“Xixi, this isn’t your fault, the conclusion hasn’t come out yet, we don’t know whether Xu Xingwan committed suicide or was murdered.”
Jiang Nanshu comforted her, she wasn’t good at comforting others, she could only say some sensible words, trying to make Xu Xi feel a little better.
The unanswered message wasn’t her fault.
Xu Xi didn’t have to take the blame for this matter upon herself either.
The next second, Bao Yan entered the door, his body emanating a cold air.
His face was blue and purple, some areas just barely scabbing over.
His eyes were filled with bloodshot, his expression cold.
Jiang Nanshu pulled Xu Xi a bit farther away from this fool.
With his bizarre way of thinking, who knows if he would blame them for Xu Xingwan’s death.
Seeing Bao Yan, Xu Xi gritted her teeth in hatred, “What is this deadbeat showing off his fake deep affection for now!”
Jiang Nanshu pulled out a tissue from her bag and wiped Xu Xi’s tears.
A fist carrying a fierce wind came flying.
Jiang Nanshu reacted quickly and dodged, pushing Xu Xi aside in the process.
Bao Yan, his eyes blazing red, roared as he grabbed Jiang Nanshu, “Give Wanwan back to me, murderer, you are the murderer, it’s all because of you that Wanwan died, all because of you.”
Bao Yan cried.
Jiang Nanshu furrowed her brows deeply, grabbed Bao Yan’s attacking arm, and using martial arts techniques, a combination of an elbow strike and a shoulder throw, she firmly brought him to the ground.
She dragged a chair over and threw it on him, “Who are you yelling and screaming at here?”
Since this was causing a disturbance in the police station, both parties were quickly restrained.
Jiang Nanshu shrugged her shoulders, “Mr. Police Officer, you can check the surveillance to see who started it, this was self-defense.”
The young police officer was extremely puzzled looking at Jiang Nanshu, who was defiant, and Bao Yan, who was injured even more from the beating.
Seriously, why did you provoke her!
Got beaten for nothing.
He mediated briefly then let them go.
Bao Yan stood in the sunlight, feeling like he had cried out all the tears of his lifetime.
He hadn’t cried when he was targeted in his business, nor when he was forced to marry a woman he didn’t love, only when Xu Xingwan died, his heart died too.
“Jiang Nanshu, I will get justice for Wanwan for what you did to her.”
Jiang Nanshu disdainfully glanced at him.
A pathetic man who couldn’t even beat her babbling nonsense here.
She scoffed coldly, “What did I do to Xu Xingwan? God gave you a mouth not for you to indiscriminately spew filth whenever you want, it’s dirty.”
Bao Yan’s face ashen, “The words you said to Wanwan, they triggered her suicide.”
