He broke his vows for her, and a tycoon descended to earth for love.

Chapter 307 I Didn't Kill Anyone

Siyi felt a buzzing in her ears, her mind completely blank. She remained slumped there, unable to process what was happening for a long time. But then someone grabbed her wrist with such force that she felt pain. Her vision gradually focused, and when she finally saw the man in front of her, she only saw his lips moving as if he were saying something.

"How could you push someone down like that? I will never let you get away with this! This is murder! I'm calling the police!"

"........."

She instinctively shook her head, wanting to shout that she hadn't pushed Ying Rui down the stairs, that she hadn't, that she hadn't pushed Ying Rui, that she had fallen on her own...

But as soon as she opened her mouth, she felt like a punctured balloon, all the air had been squeezed out, and she had no strength left to say another word. Suddenly, everything went black, and she sank completely into darkness.

Nan Qingshu was pacing anxiously in her hotel room when she finally heard the click of the door opening. She looked up and walked towards the entrance, just in time to see Ye Zhenghao pushing the door open and coming in with his coat.

"Ye Zhenghao!" Nan Qingshu swallowed hard, a hint of guilt flashing between his brows. "...I'm sorry, Siyi...she's gone."

Ye Zhenghao's face was still showing signs of exhaustion when he heard this, his handsome expression suddenly darkened. He threw his coat aside, grabbed Nan Qingshu's hand, and asked in a deep voice, "What did you say? What do you mean by 'disappeared'?"

"I...I didn't mean to." Nan Qingshu knew she had made a mistake. At this moment, she only felt guilty and uneasy. She had no mood to argue with Ye Zhenghao about anything else. She stammered, "I really didn't expect her to run away. She said...she said she was going downstairs to get Yan Hui's ID card, so I said I would go with her. But then she said she wanted to be alone, so I said I would go get it for her and leave her alone in the room. She clearly agreed, but as soon as I turned around, she disappeared...I, I really didn't mean to. I know I'm stupid, but I didn't expect her to get rid of me and run away..."

"Damn it!" Ye Zhenghao cursed under his breath, scratching his black hair. "Stop talking, hurry up and find her! Go to the hotel and check the surveillance footage. If she went out, there must be footage on the camera. Call me when you see it, and I'll contact the local police station."

Nan Qingshu nodded quickly, "Okay, I'll go right away."

The two were splitting up to search for the person when Ye Zhenghao's phone rang as soon as they entered the elevator. He glanced at the caller ID and frowned. It was a call from the police station in City B. He had initially planned to send people from City A, but then thought it would be too troublesome and a waste of time. Even if they arrived, it would be past midnight, and he didn't know what the situation would be like then. So, he had just gone out to contact the local police station.

Because City A and City B are not far apart, Ye Zhenghao's name is naturally well-known in City B. However, police operations should follow procedures, and even though he holds a high position of power, he cannot overstep the bounds. Furthermore, this matter is related to Jiang Yan's family affairs, so he knows he must be cautious in whatever decision he makes. Therefore, he privately contacted the director of the City B police station, who was quite accommodating and willing to fully cooperate with his operation. However, unexpectedly, just as he had made contact, another problem arose!

Why would the police call me at this time?

Could it be that there's news about Beibei?

Ye Zhenghao was overjoyed and quickly answered the phone, "Director Lin, is there any news?"

Yi felt a chill run down her spine. A middle-aged man's voice came from the other end, "Director Ye, is your sister named Ye Siyi?"

Ye Zhenghao's brow twitched sharply. "Siyi, is Siyi with you?"

"Director Ye, I think you should come over here. This matter is a bit complicated and can't be explained clearly over the phone. Your sister... she was a little frightened, but she's not seriously injured. We can talk about it when you get here."

Ye Zhenghao hung up the phone, his heart filled with even more unease. Nan Qingshu knew he had just mentioned Siyi, and grabbed him, asking, "What happened to Siyi? Is there any news about her? Where is she?"

Ye Zhenghao rubbed his aching temples, his unease growing stronger. Something must have happened to Siyi, otherwise why would she be at the police station? But what exactly happened to her?

He pursed his lips, held Nan Qingshu's hand, and said to her, "Go and check the surveillance footage of the entire hotel. No matter what news you find, as long as it's related to Siyi, don't miss a single thing. I'm going to the police station."

"No, Ye Zhenghao, tell me where Siyi is?"

"Just listen to me, don't worry about anything else! I'll let you know if I hear anything about Siyi."

As soon as Ye Zhenghao finished speaking, the elevator doors opened and he walked out, leaving Nan Qingshu alone in the elevator, anxiously stamping her feet. However, upon further reflection, she realized that what he said made sense. In any case, these were extraordinary times, and no clue could be overlooked. She bit her lip and pressed the close button on the elevator.

The sky had completely darkened. It was only a little past five o'clock, but due to the strong typhoon, the whole sky was as dark as the dead of night. Outside, the wind and rain were raging, and large raindrops were falling on the windows, making a pattering sound.

Siyi's pale, bloodless face, illuminated by the dim overhead light, appeared even more frighteningly white. She had woken up, her hands tightly clutching her bent legs, half her face buried in her knees, her whole body trembling uncontrollably. Several people stood before her, among them a man pointing at her with a furious expression.

"Police officer, it was her! I saw her push our young mistress down the stairs with my own eyes! I really saw it!"

.........

No...she didn't, she really didn't...she didn't push anyone down, she really didn't...

But she saw Ying Rui fall right in front of her. She watched helplessly as Ying Rui fell in front of her, her eyes filled with terror. She couldn't stop her...

“If you sue her, I will definitely testify in court. I am an eyewitness, and everything I say is true!” the man continued. He probably liked Ying Rui quite a bit, otherwise he wouldn’t be so “righteously opposed to evil”.

"Alright, you can go out now. We police officers will handle things here. Um, take him to make a statement." Another male voice interrupted the driver, calmly assigning tasks. Soon, someone led the driver out of the room.

"Miss Ye Siyi, is that right? I know you're awake, so I hope you can cooperate with us." The policeman naturally knew who this woman was. She was specifically instructed by her superiors to be the younger sister of Ye Zhenghao, the director of the A City Police Department. Otherwise, she would already be in jail, not waiting for her to wake up in the hospital and being so polite. She was currently carrying a murder charge. "Regarding the deceased, Ying Rui..."

"Is she dead?" Siyi, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke. Her voice was unusually hoarse, and she remained motionless in her original posture as she spoke, yet every word was exceptionally clear.

The police officer paused for a moment, then nodded randomly. "Of course he's dead. That's over twenty stories high. Even an Iron Man would be shattered from that fall, let alone a living person. Miss Ye, we hope you can cooperate with us on this matter..."

“I didn’t kill her.” Siyi interrupted the police again, clenching her palms tightly, as if only in this way could she make her voice sound calmer. “I didn’t push her, she fell down on her own. I just wanted to grab her, but I couldn’t grab her in time, so I watched her fall right in front of me. But I didn’t kill her!”

A flicker of surprise crossed the policeman's eyes. He'd seen this woman trembling with fear just moments before, yet she could speak so clearly now. She certainly wasn't simple. But then again, he'd heard she was a lawyer, and lawyers were indeed masters at defending themselves. Though he felt a touch of disdain, what criminal would admit to committing a crime? Trying to exonerate themselves was perfectly normal.

However, these are all matters for later. For now, all the evidence is sufficient to prosecute her. The police will not act out of favoritism, and once the case is submitted to the court, that's the next step.

"Now that we have both witnesses and physical evidence, your claim that you didn't kill anyone is completely unconvincing. I advise you to..."

“There are many reasons for falling to one’s death. At most, she is a criminal suspect. She has the right to remain silent and the right to say that she did not kill anyone. You should find more evidence on the deceased!” At this moment, the door was pushed open forcefully. Ye Zhenghao, who rushed over, heard the last sentence as soon as he entered the room. His eyes darkened, and he naturally had to speak up for Siyi.

The young officer turned around and, upon seeing the person approaching, took a step back with some embarrassment. "Director Ye." Looking back, he realized it was none other than his superior, the director. He quickly nodded again: "Director Lin."

"You may leave." The man called Director Lin was a middle-aged man, short and stout, with a calm expression. "Well, since there are suspicious points in the case, let the forensic doctor come and examine the body."

The young police officer immediately accepted the order and was about to leave when Siyi suddenly tilted her head back, grabbed Ye Zhenghao, and said, "Big brother, if you believe me, can you do me a favor?"
