83: Your Wife Is Waiting for You at Home

Four policemen entered the room.

“Jin Qingyue, please come with us.”

She opened her eyes and asked in surprise, “Am I going to be released?”

“No, we’re taking you to court for your trial. The prosecutor has already filed your case to court.”

With a sudden change in expression, she asked in shock, “Why is it so soon?”

“Because it’s a case of murder. The public is extremely concerned with it as well, thus the process is rather quick. Please, come with us.”

She stopped getting down the bed and instead gripped on tightly to the metal bars holding the bed together. “Is my family here?” she asked.

“No. Hurry, stop wasting time.”

Jin Qingyue got out of bed slowly and put on her shoes before following behind them.

She was at a complete loss on what to do. Initially, she had thought that her parents would definitely engage their connections and resources to rescue her from prison. However, no one had come to visit her at all, even after a long period of time had passed, let alone get her out of prison.

“What will my sentence be?”

“For murder cases, it would usually either be a lifetime jail term or a death sentence.”

Her legs turned to jelly upon hearing the possible outcomes. She did not dare to take another step. “I don’t wish to attend the trial, I don’t want to go to court,” she said in fear.

“Jin Qingyue, it is mandatory for you to attend the trial. You don’t have a choice since you’ve already turned yourself in and pleaded guilty to murdering someone by running them over.”

“I didn’t do it, it wasn’t me,” she said, frightened and pale as a sheet.

“You said it was you, previously, yet you’re denying it now. Jin Qingyue, what do you take the police for? Puppets for child’s play?”

“I really didn’t do it,” she blurted. At that instant, she could not help but break down in despair. She began to cry and exclaim, while sprawled across the ground, “I didn’t run her over! It wasn’t me!”

“Are you trying to change your statement?”

“I’d like to see my parents and my brother. I don’t want to go to jail. I didn’t kill her.” She was nodding as tears flowed down her face like a broken tap.

The policemen shot each other a knowing look and proceeded to bring her to the interrogation room.

Facing the policeman who was interrogating her, Jin Qingyue was no longer insistent on hiding the truth. Instead, she changed her statement and confessed everything that happened. Jin Qingyan stared blankly at the screen, watching the live footage of the interrogation from the surveillance cameras.

Shi Shaochuan was arrested once again. He was rather surprised, not at the fact that Jin Qingyue had gone back on her word, but rather at the Jin family’s attitude towards Jin Qingyue. He had never expected them to come up with such a solution to get her to speak up.

Given their status and power, the Jin family could have easily gotten her out of prison with their connections. Yet they had gone the extra mile to stage an act like that. Clearly, their purpose was none other than to stop him and Jin Qingyue from staying together.

In the end, they had succeeded in separating them.

Could it be that they despised him? Or could they have been thinking that the Shi family was not good enough for them? Or perhaps it was because he was once married to An Xiaoning… A whirlpool of questions flooded Shi Shaochuan’s mind as he could not figure out the reason behind their objection towards their relationship.
