Chapter 1026: If She Deserves to Be Arrested, Then Arrest Her

Wang Lan had worked at the castle for four years and although she hardly spoke to him, he could still recognize her voice.

The recording continued to play.

“A deposit? How much would you like? Don’t worry, I will pay every single cent that I’ve promised you.”

Then, he could vaguely make out Han Xue’s soft laughter.

“I want 500,000 dollars and another 1.5 million dollars after the deed is done. This is my account details. Please transfer the money to this account,” Wang Lan said.

“Sure, I’ll wire the money over to you tomorrow. Keep this drug in a safe place and try to make your move within the week. It will be too late once He Xiyan gives birth,” Han Xue said.

“I know. Don’t worry, I have He Xiyan’s full trust and I regularly have access to the milk and tea that she drinks on a daily basis, so I’m confident of pulling this off within the next three years,” Wang Lan said.

Then, the conversation stopped and they heard the sound of footsteps growing softer.

Ye Hao froze in horror as though he had been struck by lightning and he felt his limbs grow numb. His face turned pale and cold sweat dripped down his forehead.

Han Xue had been his first love and also someone who he had used to love. She was even his legal wife, so he couldn’t believe how terrifying and malicious she was.

It was such a horrifying thought.

“Mr. Ye... I’m sure you’re able to recognize the voice in the recording, right?” the police officer asked.

Ye Hao closed his eyes and in addition to anger, his eyes were also filled with hatred. He hated himself for being so oblivious that he had failed to see her true colors despite having known her for so many years.

He nodded but did not give a direct response to the police officer’s question. It was clear that he was able to tell who it had been in the recording.

“We had also asked Menglin, another employee who works for your family to listen to this recording in the morning. She had identified the people in the recording as Wang Lan and your wife Han Xue,” the police officer said.

Ye Hao’s breath caught in his throat. He bit his lips and after his initial fit of rage passed, he felt very sad.

This woman was far too terrifying.

He didn’t dare to think of the consequences of what could have happened if Wang Lan had succeeded in planting the drug in He Xiyan’s food.

The police officer continued, “Ultimately, Wang Lan did not plant the drug in He Xiyan’s food. After she received the $500,000 deposit, she paid the downpayment for an apartment in two weeks.”

Ye Hao’s eyes were cold and stony and whatever sympathy he felt toward Wang Lan disappeared immediately.

“Please continue your investigations. If she is involved in Wang Lan’s disappearance and deserves to be arrested, then arrest her. She should be punished in accordance with the law,” he said coldly.

He didn’t care how this would impact the Ye family’s reputation, neither did he care whether Xiao Yu would hate him in the future.

Han Xue that damn woman was extremely evil, so she only has herself to blame.

There was no need to protect her.

She should rot in jail and reflect upon her own actions.

The police officer said, “Sure, Mr. Ye. We will continue our investigations. As for your wife, we will need to hold her for another 48 hours for questioning to facilitate our investigations.

The police couldn’t arrest a suspect without sufficient evidence but they could hold the suspect in custody as per the procedure.

Han Xue was asked to sit on a cold metal chair in the interrogation room. She shivered the moment she sat because she had never sat on such a cold chair. The chill from the chair seemed to seep into her bones.

“I’ve already answered all your questions the previous time. What else do you want to know?” Han Xue yelled in the interrogation room. She had already been held for three hours and had been interrogated by two police officers.
