Chapter 1587: Impossible…

“No, I didn’t.” Li Jinnan gazed deeply into Ye Youyou’s eyes when he made the denial.

“Did Guan Queye not die?” Ye Youyou asked even though such a turn of events was very unlikely.

Li Jinnan considered his reply for a moment before finally slowly saying, “It was Shen Luo’an. He confessed to the crime.”

Ye Youyou jerked back in shock. “He confessed to the crime? He was the one who murdered Guan Queye?”

Li Jinnan didn’t say a word. He just gazed at her. His facial features did not move at all. His fathomless and dark eyes held a bevy of emotions that slowly emanated out in all directions.

When Ye Youyou saw his reaction, she seemed to somehow guess something. Did Shen Luo’an suddenly confess to the crime for her sake?

Her heart immediately shot that idea down. That was impossible. Shen Luo’an might not have loved Guan Queye, but all he had for Ye Youyou was hatred through and through. Why would he confess to a crime that he didn’t have to confess to for her sake?

If found guilty of the crime, the lightest sentence he faced was a lifetime imprisonment. Shen Luo’an was in the prime of his life, and a bright future lay ahead of him. If he were imprisoned at such a time, regardless of whether he was guilty or not, his future would be ruined.

Furthermore, how could Shen Luo’an have murdered Guan Queye? All these years, the guilt that he harbored toward Guan Queye had gnawed at his bones. How could he have killed her? That was completely unrealistic, to say the least.

Could it really be because of her?

At that thought, Ye Youyou suddenly found the whole notion laughable.

How is that even possible… All the evidence had been pointing at me. If Shen Luo’an hadn’t stood out, no one would even have suspected him. Was he suddenly trying to seek redemption because he was overcome by guilt for his actions?

Ye Youyou couldn’t comprehend what was going on. She raised her eyes to Li Jinnan and asked, “Has he been locked up?”

“Yeah.” Li Jinnan embraced her and said, “He’s been taken in for questioning, but Guan Yanhong’s camp doesn’t believe it at all. They insist that you’re the one who killed Guan Queye. They are currently trying to gather evidence to prove Shen Luo’an innocence and that you’re the one responsible.”

“In other words, I’m currently still a suspect.” Ye Youyou looked at Li Jinnan. She wasn’t sure whether to rejoice or lament.

Li Jinnan gently rested his warm palm on her head and replied, “Yeah, but taking into consideration the fact that you are pregnant, they released you from prison. You can say that you’re free for the time being.”

Ye Youyou made a soft sound of acknowledgement. Gazing at Li Jinnan’s chest, she said, “I want to see him.”

She wanted to see him. She really wanted to see him. After the divorce, never had Ye Youyou possessed such a strong desire to see him. The feeling suddenly surged within her and was uncontrollable.

She raised her eyes and met Li Jinnan’s. He gazed at her for a moment and finally answered, “OK.”

–

“I’ll ask you again one more time. Did you kill Guan Queye? If this fact is confirmed, you may be sentenced to death.”

The interrogation was taking place. The police officer stared at Shen Luo’an with seriousness in his eyes.

Shen Luo’an was handcuffed to the interrogation chair and dressed in a prison uniform. His originally weakly stature looked even more pathetic.

Faced with such an interrogation, he was clearly fatigued. He replied yet again, “I am sure that I killed her. I didn’t want to marry her, so I chose to murder her. I used the latest poisonous chemical that I developed and slipped it into her tumbler, then I pretended to run away from the wedding. That way, I could escape suspicion.”

“What made you suddenly change your mind and own up to the crime?” the officer asked.
