Soulmates : The Tale Of Two Hearts

41

It's been a week and there was storm in the lives of two friends.

After that night neither Zhao Qiyuan approched Yan nor Yan tried anything. He was already sure about the consequences but he never thought something like that would ever happen.

Zhao Qiyuan and Xu Yan were in front of each other but not like friends but as an official and criminal. They were all alone. No one was there.

" Master Xu, do you have something to say ?" Zhao Qiyuan asked, a tone which only belonged to chief inspector, not to a friend.

Yan was staring at Qiyuan so was Qiyuan at him but seemed like only one was looking in the eyes.

" I haven't done anything. I don't know." Yan said. He was repeating it since the moment he was taken for interrogation.

" So how do you explain the poison in tea served to madam Zhao and Lady Cao in your shop ?" Qiyuan asked firmly.

" I have no idea." Yan was firm on his words.

In afternoon madam Zhao came with her soon to be daughter in law for selecting robes and as a gesture of respect he served them tea and they collapsed. They called doctor and the cause was poisoning. The guards immediately seized their shop and arrested them.

" Then who knows ?!" Zhao Qiyuan growled, making Yan flinched.

" You are the one who made the tea and served !"

" Yeah, I did and I'm not denying and it wasn't the first time I did !" Yan raised his voice.

" Then how you don't know ?!" Qiyuan was getting impatient. His mother and betrothed were still unconscious. The person in front was his friend who claimed to love him. He was so entangled in everything.

" Why do you think it's me ? Why will I do that ?" Yan asked, somewhat disappointed and hurt.

Qiyuan turned around.

" Next time you better give me an answer." He said and left the cell where Yang was prisoned. He did not look back. He did not want to know what expression he had.

Qiyuan went out. He had sent his people for investigation. He went back to home to check on the condition of two women.

" How are they ?" Qiyuan asked.

" Sir, detoxification has done but it'll take atleast seven days to gain conscious." The Healer answered. He was an old man with silver hairs and beard.

" The poison is really common but the dose was so high." Healer informed.

Qiyuan clenched his fist and nodded. He left and walked to the study. He sat down and rubbed his temples.

In evening, Huang Yunlan came to meet him. He was still in study. Yunlan greeted him , making him came out of his thoughts.

" Officer Huang, why Yan will do something like that ?" Qiyuan asked. He himself was spinning around this question because if he had known Yan then he could not do anything like that.

" If Sir give permission, I want to give a personal opinion."

Qiyuan hummed.

" I apologise for prying in Sir life but Master Xu claim to love sir and it's really a strong reason." Yunlan said.

" How do you know about that ?" Qiyuan frowned.

" Master Xu was already obvious and after his birthday Sir did not meet him again." Yunlan gave his analysis.
